    I sense someone is getting to emotional and hyped over a unrealized win... That may be a sure way to failure in a not so distant future. Pros just dont get that emotional because they know that that will be counter productive in the future. Im no pro btw. I just learned that the hard way.

  4. I know he's kind of come off as an AH and pretty cocky for 1 contract, but:
    1) It was a call in real-time, before the move occurred.
    2) There was a stated profit target...again, ahead of time.
    3) Hell, there was even a fill posted.
    4) Double hell, as it stands, the trade right now is even profitable (unrealized, of course).

    It wasn't perfect, but all in all, it's head and shoulders above lots of trade posts on here.

  6. AAPL 614.00. He's up a buck and change on his puts. Watching numbnuts give it all back? Priceless.

  7. I bet he's trading April puts with no time value.

  10. this is about the only time I would look to buy some AAPL puts intraday, right about now. Fetched some 515P 5Apr @ 6.2

    Edit: I am a purely directional guy, stop out if the options hit 6.00, else profit target at 7.20.
