  2. Yeah, all the nay-sayers can kiss my arse. Sold 100 of the 1140's @ 2 yesterday, and they're at 1.35 now.

    that's 33% in an hour. Yeah, I don't know what i'm doing.

  3. Now trading under $1.

    That's $10,000 in 2 hours, or 50% profit.

    But of course, the risk far outweighed the reward:p

    I very rarely trade options so please answer this for me.

    If Bin Laden had been captured or killed overnight (East Coast time), how much do you think you would have lost on that trade?

  6. coulda, woulda, shoulda...

    Bin laden hasn't been caught in 2+ years, so I don't think the odds of it happening on any given day are more than 1%. I understand statistics and probabilities, and most here do not.

    I don't trade on hypotheticals. I made a great call and trade, and i'm laughing at mostly everyone here that no one can acknowledge this. This place is full of mice.

    Let's see, 60% profit in 2 hours, or +$13,000 so far. But, the risk did far outweigh the reward.

  7. I would like to thank everyone on ET. The responses to this thread last night made me 100% SURE that I was doing the right thing. I'm a contrarian, and I KNEW from the responses here last night that this trade was gold.

    Thanks!!
