  6. Imagine if you'd said to buy calls lol.....think about those 435 calls at $4, you're talking $15-$20 tomorrow, and $18000 from a $3000 investment lol.....Maybe I should have done that, hit my target go to sleep for the rest of the year and wait for AAPL again next January :D

    I need a strong report from PII tomorrow too...winner winner is what I want to see....I'm looking ahead to trades into BRCM and CRUS too....

    As for AAPL, this after hours trade looks familiar. I think it was about 3 quarters ago where AAPL gaps up, trades lower over the next few days, I'd say it test $430 again, then boom breaks above $455 and doesn't look back. Wonder if it'll play out like that again.

  7. Well, putting my theory to work....if I'm right, AAPL should be around $435-$440 by Friday. Bought 2 AAPL Jan 28 $445 puts at $2.14....Small position, just to test it out. Already made $700 in TPX, so that's the profits I'll be risking.

  8. It looks like you're going to do okay on that trade.

  9. Funny thing was I kept wondering why PII is down....I figured I have 20 days to find out why PII won't move higher even after a very good report. Went out to grab breakfast, and here it is PII trading at $64. I bought at $1.55, so barely any gains on the trade, but not bad...My IBM call experience is a loser today, but other than that I'll start looking at closing out TPX now, and keep a close eye on AAPL puts.

  10. Out of the TPX and PII positions gain on tpx and small loss on PII with net at $550. About $2377 in net profit so far this year. It's going to be a long year.
