you really think so??? -2.01(-0.48%) is peanuts on a day like this. these small down days could be a blessing in disguise with calls come earnings tomorrow.
has more downside to it imo. i still have plenty of time especially on the dec's.
rule #1 with options, PATIENCE DOUCHE!!!!!!!!!!!!
AAPL taking it on the chin today and AH.
I hope they blow out earnings. May need to hedge my bull call spread with some puts tomorrow.
lmfao, was me my friend, take it while you can still bake it
just returned home and noticed both my save puts were green and was wondering who the 10vol could of been on those novembers lol
lmao i was wondering why my account looked so good on those puts. you know where to send the finders fee
Sold my SAVE put for a 56% gain, made $450 on an $800 investment, not bad.

$3.40 ask on your save puts?
nevermind lol
I'll see what the premiums do on Monday. May just gamble on some deep OTM weeklys and see what happens. Smaller investment but the return is potentially huge. Yes I know it's gambling lol.
I am playing both, but I own 200 shares of aapl, so I bought calls that would cover me for both earnings, but I think they will kill this quarter too, but iphone 4s sales wont hit until next q. Then after earnings, I will continue to sell my monthly calls for 25 out of the money each month, netting approximately $900 to $1000, per month from option premiums.
This morning was the day to buy calls / for this earnings, next week premiums are going to be exaggerated.
IMO, aapl will trade over $450 by wednesday.
I am not an expert though when it comes to option spreads, etc. leemalone (has a sticky post) is pretty good on options, and I am sure he would shoot you a reply if you ask him how he is playing it. I am sure he has put protection.
How you two pro traders playing AAPL earnings on Tuesday? I know Losing is playing next quarter but what are your thoughts for this one?
lmfao, I love Drew, but he has totally dissed me.
$14 will be here faster than drew adding mdmn...

smart move there. apple will crush #s next q indeed.
Bought back my aapl calls, so riding my stock through earnings, plus bought some Jan 425 calls, as next Q apple will kill it.

I like the options on the big dogs, yes they are very expensive, but I lvoe the liquidity. I do not like to buy too short term of options though on these, as that is a lot of Jack to put on the table, when time erodes it so fast.
those should be around $75 tomorrow. it still bothers me to buy some options even at $10, let alone $52 per contract lol.
I was looking at the 505, they were like 52 but theta was like .58 so I'd lose little overnight but gain pretty big if GOOG beat earnings which they did. I'll let you know what they are worth tomorrow and we'll see the profit potential.
which ones??? who wants to pay $15/$20$30 calls? lol
Should have bought those deep ITM
calls I was eyeing, would have cleaned up
goog, lmfao, they did it again......just like last time
go biggggggggggggg. i expect up $30+ in ah
lol wow, they crushed it!
niceeeeeee lol. i went in for 10more dec's eod too.

if your not playing SAVE puts right here with this chart, you gotta be nuts lolzzzzzzz
not playing goog at all. it gained $55 in a few wks or so already, probably sees red no matter what the report entails.
Thanks.
Trying to play a SPY spread but I can't get any decent credit. May need to sit this week outor wait until tomorrow.
I am not playing it this time, I own 200 shares of aapl, currently, and am selling calls, but will protect myself with some weekly puts. Next quarter will be the aaple play, they should blow the roof off, imo, I still may play the aaple strangle too??? not sure..
How are you guys playing GOOG earnings?
good thing your real estate job was calling, market picked up here eod.
I bought 10 spy 120 puts this morning, made about a hundred bucks on them and sold them, as I had to go look at some property.
that looks like a legit buy.
Looks like I am going to get called out of my aapl today, so basically, if I do, I will have made just under $20, per share in a month, by selling calls, buying them back on the dip, and reselling the same expiration calls lower. Total, I made roughly 5% in a month on an $82k investment, so not too bad!
good job bro!
watching SMBL dec $7.50 puts for an entry in the next few days.
My apple play is paying off nicely, for a safe long term income play.
For those who are new to options, here's a board I put together a few years ago.
enjoy,

I know, just looking for a little bounce on a 17% drop day outside the bottom bollie, threw 10k at it, looking for 5%
careful bro. 2008 is closer than we think. puts and only puts are in play now.
Got a buy in for ANW at $3.76 for 2700 shares. This thing should bounce
Moved the buy to $3.78, got filled.
