  1. You should scalp again below 20 SMA...

  2. looking at selling Oct 320 straddle slightly postive delta here with a sizeable cushion on the downside. Looking for $4.70 per share earnings.

  4. I was off by a penny on AAPL's earnings last qtr, so I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

    You may predict the earnings but you can not easily predict market reaction. Nice job in your trade.

  7. I like put sales here with the vol on the weekly, defined risk is always a good idea but I think it trades higher.

    Why? Just your gut feeling? I too think we will see some pullback in November. But I not going to go short just because I think that's what the market should do. The market does not care what I think.

    I my opinion O'Neil was a blowhard, but he did say at least one thing of value: "never short a stock just because you think it is too high."

    I'm excellent at picking market tops and bottoms, but only after the fact!
