wow--- CME- hope some of you got in on the "free" money. sometimes I even amaze myself with my accuracy - but I was doing the same thing back in the 90s- always accurate- often early- rarely wrong) what a great trading call if I do say so - and to think some guys charge a fortune for stuff like that- but on the famous multi_option thread- one can get it for free by just reading my posts. (sorry for tooting my horn too loud on this one and the VLO/QCOM/BBY and OVTI trades I posted earlier- but I can't help myself) --- too bad we can't bat 100% in options trading- and that we still miss great trades all the time - and still make dumb moves. I hate to get too excited since that is the kiss of death--- but damn bros I am looking forward to some great trading in 2006 - and hoping the market stays active like of late! I am going to be posting on my (icemans') Journal thread - so I have accountability for my trades- and so I keep better focused. Lookng forward to a VERY profitable 2006. bonne chance to all option traders in 2006 - ! Ice p.s. remember I said to keep an eye on PD for a great short trade entry - all coming soon to a theatre nearby- I am looking to enter the 150/145 or 140p next week depending on how expiration shakes out !
yep-- might have some nice downside left in CME what do you tihnk r/arb? You looking for a short entry ? Ice
how did you get 78 as an "assumption"? What if aapl is 82.50 by expiration- that is doable on this one- no? Not saying it will happen- but ?? AAPL is no HD? For example- what if it gets bought out on Monday @90- or rumors circulate that it is in play? OR what if it gets a slew of major downgrades into next week -- - and it trades to 67.50- that range would not be far-fetched for AAPL. I
did not enter PD yet - gonna wait until post-expiration anyone else in puts or short from last weeks highs??
Iceman -- I do not think this thread is dead. I am probability one of many lurkers who read and learn but do not post often. I really want to buy SBUX Dec 32 1/2 puts here for a two day trade ( 31.60 puts are .90 bid and 1.00 offered). No guts. Is there any greek that calculates the probability of a stk going back to strike on expiration date?
damn-- another good call AAPL = <71 VOILA! I'm in the zone- feels like 1990s -- really looking forward to 2006 -just added a lot more cash to all accounts. Will post all 2006 trades and "calls' on icemans option trading Journal thread - beginning 1/2/06- so stay tuned! Ice
