  1. Bought RHAT Oct 15 puts at 2.10 per contract. This play is purely speculative and not based on technicals. My reasoning is that RHAT's recent ascend has already been built into the stock's upcoming earnings. And the stock will exceed Wall Street's expectations. However, the price has already been factored in. Let's see what happens.

  2. Sold SYMC at 21.34. The bounce from 20.63 filled. I expect a test of the 20.45 support.

    That is not a good idea.

  4. Hi coolweb,

    It's rewarding to be different. I've been a contrarian on many fronts of trading. I've been quite successful thus far.

  7. Hello Jack,
    I agree its good to be a contrarian, but you can not size up with that kind of risk methology.

    You can make money with many strategies but
    With no size you can never make the big money.

  8. hi jack ... you might be a brillant and very rich MD
    from your practice and investments over the years
    but this comment of yours makes me nervous that the odds might one day catch up with you

    good luck to you in the future

    -First, I never trade anything that I'm not willing to hold. Second, if a particular trade goes against me, then I resort to dollar cost averaging. This strategy has done me the justice that I deserve.-
