just blew a giant score , distraction is a terrible thing

The news was for MF Global
http://biz.yahoo.com/e/080718/mf8-k.html

 

I was just too damn distracted to spell it right

 

If I wasn't always paying attention to multiple feeds of data, I would not have seen the MF news to begin with, so the suggestion to focus on only a few things is absurd on the face of it.

The stock was 4.80 when I brought it up, so even 10 cents for an option expiring in less than 2 hours is not exactly free money.

That said, I should have given it more time.

That's ok, my public calls for a GM squeeze and IBKR longs more than made up for the missed 1000% gain on this.

I know all my fans had those, but they don't say so as they know that will scare me away from posting any more gold.

 

Including yourself, "all your fans" <= 1

 

Hmm, were you expecting that something would happen to it?

If not, would you have bought it @ $.10 with just a 2 hours before expiration?

If answer to both is no, then treat it as a coincidence.

Or were you thinking of selling the calls to pick up some "free" nickles and dimes?

 

This thread is probably the besty argument for not posting on ET when tradng.

'nuff said.

 

I never said I was distracted by ET.

 

Thanks . I was worried someone might have made some coin and I wasn't being properly compensated.

For sure it wasn't you, so I'm even more relieved. llolllo
