  1. I'm out of AAPL. Sold it all. My vertical would've given diminishing returns had I held on to it so sold the entire thing...

    Another good apple trade.

    Sold my wal mart bet..lol... netted $300 something on a $200 investment...

    :D

    Holding on to BIDU right now... the spread out calendar-- both puts and calls are broken even atm...

  5. Lost 5% of account in past 50 minutes, but it's a "long term" trade.

  6. You shouldn't ask me because I've lost a lot of money year to date.
    I'm not a professional trader. Call me a wanna-be.

  10. good call risk, the point really for people learning is that the volatility crush is real. I wonder how much money has been lost over the years by new traders that don't understand vol collapse.
