My option trades

Oh well... just hope GRPN falls a bit tomorrow...

 

FYI

FaceBook (FB) this Friday, options probally within a few weeks. In the mean time SOCL could be interesting to buy options on. My recommendation is: Buy SOCL Jun 2012 15.00 calls @ $0.70 sometime this week before FB's IPO.

CAUTION: The above trade is extremely speculative.





EDIT: Slow day today, not many posts to this thread

 

Well, I've been pretty frustrated the way my aapl 625 may calls have panned out. I was buying near the top when everyone else was selling.

 

May vol still quite elevated... not quite at a loss here. Still holding on... Stock seems like it'll fall further...

 

Long May18 RUT 775/790/805 Fly @ 4.50 mid

Long May18 SPX 1340/1350/1360 Fly @ 2.00 mid

 

Looks like it turned out to be a decent trade. Skew is pretty steep here though.

 

are you doing the put fly on the spx? the call 40/50/60 is only 1.45

 

Yeah call fly, it traded between 1.25 and 2.00. I had a slightly better fill. However, I'm out of it now around breakeven.

Looking at getting back into some AAPL Condors and/or flies.

Still long GOOG condor, RUT Fly
Long LNKD Fly, short strangle

most sitting close to their neutral strike

 

I see a U shaped but steep nonetheless..

Yeah if it continues to cover the gap tomorrow I'll prolly take some profits off the table.

 

Yeah, I got ya.

Just picked up AAPL 60/70/80 Fly for 2.50
