Option trading for a newbie

  1. Ben,

    Good trade, especially ARO was up only briefly this morning and then stayed in red so far. The price you paid for the ARO call was quite good. Did you buy earlier in the day yesterday?

    I believe FDS reports tomorrow. I bought 20 FDS March 40 calls at avg. price of $1.30. Paid ($2,629.90). Let's see if FDS can muster a rally move.

    Sold 10 at $1.90 and 10 at $1.50. Not a bad gain I'd say. I got a gain of $740 on this trade.

    Let's see if this one's a winner. I bought 20 ADBE March 17.5 calls at $1.15. I used ($2,330) for this trade.

  7. Ben,

    You might just be a seasoned stock picker disguised as a "newbie". Luck can not be with a newbie so often times! That said, Good luck tonight on ADBE.

  8. Looking at adbe after hours right now leads me to believe you have hit another winner.
