I have that on my watch list. This could be a good Options Pincher play
Insider

CAK is going to run today!! Good acquisition news!

EK - at support on chart and trying to bounce up. Blackrock and Vanguard are in as significant beneficial owners with Vanguard just having filed within the last few days.
Nice! Congrats!
Most of the time I will buy Options on Pinchers. There are a few reasons I like Option outside of the nice return on investment.
1. Predefined Risk. Lets say I buy 30 contracts of a $10 stock for .50 a contract. That is a investment of $1500 and I own $30K worth of stock. If the investment does not go my way then I can only lose my $1500 I put up.
2. It helps me control greed. This is a time based product. So if you buy a Call that is a few months out it forces you to make a decision. I find that I do not get emotionally tided to the stock when I own the Option.

Insider On this board are these all options or do you purchase the stock also. Thanks
SWS Sold my June $5.0 calls for $1.40 today. Purchased for $.55. a nice 255% gain
Insider
The reason I have not bought this one is that I like Pinchers that have been trading much higher for some period of time. If you llok at RXII it was at $1.70 or so in September and ran up to $4 and now has come back down. I goog example of one I liked was SWS. This stock was trading for $12 -$20 for the last copuple of years and then was ripped all the way down to below $5. Here was my post

I am not saying it will not work but it is just not my game. Plus the price is a little low. I have had better results with the ones in the $4 - $15 range.

LPHI, looks like it could be a play soon, huge short interest, forming nice pinch, riding lower bollie. I will be considering options on this one!
Losing
I think the 1 year LEAP option is the way to play this one.
see my previus post
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=58806307
As I said in the post I thought it might go lower and just started a position, so I will take advantage of these prices and add some more $7.50 Jan 2012 Calls.
I see this getting back to $9.00. It might take 6 months, that is why I am buying the 1 year Option Calls
Insider
No doubt we want to keep it real on our boards!!

No point in losing $ Losingmoney lol.Hate to see someone take a hard knock! That was my job in the past.Takes a while to learn this business the right way.
Good stuff making bacon, lol, love that!
Losing
yeah just looked at all that........thanks
No it has to come to a support level,Hasn't found one yet.Today is horrible for it.Look at a 1.7 year chart and you will see where it rose from ($2).Probably going back there ($2).It was a great run from $2 to $7.No complaints but not one to be looking to enter again especially after today.Alot better stocks out there.Oil and oil service stocks are HOTT right now
even as a pincher on the daily?
Guys think TLB is a good buy here?
Thanks. I am still holding. There was a lot of bid support today. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
nice, pop back up today
I would consider going to Phoenix just to meet again and talk with you guys.
Options are a very powerful way to play the pinchers. Watch our Options board to get started. If you are ever in Phoenix let me know, we can meet and go over our Options strategies

Very big pinch on the 60" chart.
The stock. I have never bought options before so I do not know that game very well.
Good plan. sell if you get the quick pop but if it goes lower, buy more as it forms a pich on the daily
Did you buy Options or the stock?
Insider
Yep. I am prepared to average down one time. My experience shows that huge volume almost always precedes the move. "Big money" doesn't go into something expecting to lose it. The biggest volume came in at the lows of today.
I have to add that a strong component in my decision was the huge volume today. That kind of volume almost always signifies that there will be a rally above it if nothing else than for the MM's to make their money back on all of the shares they had to absorb (buy) at those prices.
PPO and RSI are still heading down. Keep an eye on it. I would say it will go lower over the next week. you may get a quick pop as it is forming a pinch on the 15 minute chart.
Insider
Swing trade...10% target at 4.14...not sure of timeframe...if it really went oversold too far then I wouldn't think the bounce will take too long that is why I set a short-term target of 4.14
We'll see how it goes...I'll be watching the charts to see how it behaves...
What is your time frame and what % are you looking to get out of it. Is this a day trade? swing trade?
Insider
In EK @ 3.76
Looking for 4.14 target minimum
Not at all. My strategy was that DF was a great company and was just beaten down and out of favor. I knew it would turn back up in time so I purchased the 2 year option calls (2013 LEAPS). I was prepared to sit on them for at least a year. But after 2 months I had a double so I sold and took my gains
Insider
Nice move. Did you get worried when DF kept going down?
looks good...thanks
SVU in a pinch again
Insider
Sold my DF Calls $7.50 2013 LEAPS for $3.90 as contract. I bought them during the pinch at $1.90. A nice quick bag
