Short AAPL $632 I got 'em

This has got to be a hoax. You two are in on it together right?
Or perhaps Uncle Ho is a schizophrenic, and one of his critics in this thread is his other half?
It's not me, by the way....

 

I agree with this 100%. I know, because I used to do it all the time. Lost lots of $.....

 

Surdo has been a prop-trader for more than a decade. WTF are you?

 

I guess it also depends on the time scale you trade in.
If you "bought and held" AAPL for the last 3 years, and added on all the dips and breakouts, its Trend would have been your Best Friend indeed.
If you got in January 2011 and sold in late June 2011, you'd have lost money.
If you do swing trades, you could have scored big by just shorting all the dips.
Day traders did well regardless of the long term trend, like you did yesterday.

 

true trader or not you got more balls then me to go directional thru earning.

 

Now Atticus, don't get all excited. I wasn't trying to insult Surdo. I'm just trying figure out if Uncle Ho is for real.
I guess Surdo has confirmed Uncle Ho really exists, and you've now confirmed Surdo really exists.
So I guess my suspicions were wrong. Fine by me.

Anyway, Uncle Ho, are you still Short AAPL?

 

Looks like Uncle Ho's puts are getting profitable after all ... I wouldn't be too greedy if I were him.

 

Covered half at $629. Holding rest, probably dumping them today, unless I see a giant nasdaq sell.

 

Why so soon? I foresee some more downward action.

 

Yes, AAPL at 629. The headlines are blaming all this deep red on Europe.
This is the rumored correction happening I guess. This is when Trend Traders start to reexamine their faith....
I hope Uncle Ho sold his Puts on the dip!
