Trading on Yom Kippur?

  1. I shorted 1000 of Rosh Hashana and cleared 3 1/2 points easily so today I am loading up on 2,500 of Yom Kippur (YMKP) with a tight stop loss.

  3. well.. it was a fine trading day and seems like a reversal to the upside is at hand too on the S&P.. so the old adage sticks..

  4. I don't remember a Yom Kippur where i didn't sell opening print only to buy it back later in the day. Maybe it is a coincidence, maybe not. I don't really care it's all meaningless. Volume tends to be light in the morning and afternoon when most go to synagogue. Shalom.

  6. After hours trading in AAPL when they announced was fantabulous. Prints in the mid 40's with extensive volume. Classic bump and run offense after a huge sack to the downside. There was so much squeeze in the juice my PC started to jiggle. I'd like to hear about some high IV's in the options. Anyone?
