  1. OIH -243

    oih NI (145 puts) 310/320

    well -- I'll give it until Monday - maybe roll into March puts. sold OIH NH @ 185-195 today


    +10 oih NI @ 2.75 (pnl +350)
    - 10 oih NH @1.90 (pnl -45)

    maybe I'll sell another 10 of the 140 P (oih NH) and then try later to leg into 135 March or 135 February for best advantage

  3. DNA march85c

    pnl +900

    at open tried to sell DNA feb 90c @ 1.50 but gap was sold too fast. please- bring back the good olde days!

    so I will sit with my DNA order to sell front 90c @ 1.50 (although I think I might raise it now).

    IF (when) filled---- will leg into March 95c - then sell more Feb 90c

    eventually being long 85/90/mar95

  4. AAPl

    darn

    so far missed

    buying AAPL feb75c calls @ 2.65
    covering AAPL feb80c @ 1.15 (sold @ 3+)
    rolling long feb7250p (+170) into march 70p (for -30)

    I will get another chance!

    I love AAPL (and dutch apple pie).

  5. AAPL

    will look for 7250 on aapl - then go long ITM calls

    CME

    on radar screen for short entry. We are going to get a GREAT short on CME. Take it to the bank! Broke a psyche level @ 400 so it might run up more into next week.

  7. OIH

    oh yeah--- look at that huge black candle ! Must be a buying opp!

    got plenty of nice juicy puts sold on individual oil stocks - so take OIH down OR take it up boys - don't matter to me !

    thinking about going long OIH March 155c/selling Feb 155c if we get a decent bounce (if not -- exit march -- or neutralize with lower strike march)

  8. holy grail

    there are a lot of threads on ET.com about what is THE answer (other than AI) - what is the holy grail of trading?! Well I think I found it....

    have two packages of DOUBLE oreo peanut butter cookies ready on on Monday morning, and eat them all week. But you gotta break them apart in different directions to mirror your inner thoughts on market direction in underlying positions - and put them up to your ear like a seashell and listen for the pulse of the market. You'd be amazed how well it works

    ..... and how good they taste!

    Whooops there it is - the grail of trading !

    :cool:

    p.s. AAPL is going lower!

    :confused: :confused:

  9. QCOM

    after the close - earnings time!

    hell if I know what to do. So I probably guessed wrong by being long a call vertical - but I did ratio the upper strike.
