Option trade idea on YHOO

Discussion in 'Options' started by hajimow, Jun 21, 2012.

  1. I'll end the evenings discussion by simply saying,... over concentrating in one stock, may save investors a lot of time, as you are not having to do additional research or managing.
    But the downside to over concentration, (besides the obvious), is that you risk losing your "objectivity", when evaluating, analyzing, and managing the investment.
    Just remember,... we are all only as rich as our last trade.

    YHOO is trading at 15.90 now. Time is 10:21.
    S&P and NASDAQ is outperforming YHOO at this moment. Usually YHOO catches up during the day. Watch YHOO trying to hit $16 (or even go over $16). Based on this theory YHOO seems a short daytrade buy at 15.90

  7. does the price being at 16.26 mean your sitting on your hands waiting for it to come down? are you sitting on hundreds of short call options or what?

    Why your messages are always negative? Why do you always think that I am losing money? check out the time that I joined ET and you still see that I am still in business. When YHOO was at 15.10 and I was calling it a screaming buy, you were negative and were comparing YHOO with GOOG and .... and now YHOO at 16.30, you .....
    I feel that you have lost a lot in the market and don't believe that making money is possible. You have lost your balls and confidence in getting into trades. You will be always in doubt.
    And yes I am sending this email from my homeless shelter:mad:
