[kidstockster101]

lol yea, I know what you mean. I'm taking a look at Speedtrader now. Hope to be up and running by month's end. Thanks for the info bro!

[harbs]

wow, long time!

well, i used grossman securities till last week..

i have accounts at tdameritrade/izone - mytrack - and now, speedtrader..

wish there were one broker that had it all but never seems that way..

[kidstockster101]

Hey Harbs! Long time... I'm gonna back into trading shortly; took a little break to deal with LIFE.. Was wondering, what broker are you using now that Prodigy went under? TIA

[BlackThought]

this board is dead!

[daiello]

Hey got your PM.

That's cool with me, although, when I come back to trading full time, I hope I can get it back :p

Take it easy smoke.

[harbs]

mee and dig..monster move..have one option left lol..

[harbs]

ok, i'm putting my money where my mouth is..

i say we have a bounce off oil in the 62-64 range..looking for mid 70's or so..

bought some dig and mee calls this am...

if oil hits 61 area i'll have stopped out..

bounce u pig..

then come down to $3 a barrel so we can buy gas at .03 lol..

[harbs]

i bought 1 call in the $5's for the back account - dig $25 calls..

i would like it to tank a couple more days so i can load big..this will just force me to watch..

[harbs]

nihd - earnings tomorrow..

might do a small straddle on the $20's..

[harbs]

rotf

[daiello]

That's true. My guess is their is just continuous selling from hedgies whether its them shorting or unwinding their long positions. Or maybe both, the hedge fund world is brutal, I know a few months ago, I was talking to a guy I worked with. He said goldman and a hedge fund (which I have connections to so I'm trying to get in and wont give away the name) heard this other hedge fund was going long stock xyz (made up cause i forgot specifics)

Well, goldman and this other fund, shorted the hell out of it, and this other hedge fund went belly up.

So my point is who knows what the F oil is doing lol.

[harbs]

agreed..

but i play bounces on stocks that go up on nothing but speculation and air (like oil did) and then if they tank they usually bounce nice..before going much lower..just thinking this might be one of those..

course the nice thing is that i want it to keep dropping personally lol..

[daiello]

Well, lets look back. What was the reason for the spike in oil?

Not fundies, not technicals, not dollar decreasing in value, not demand. So we can conclude it was speculation. So what are we down from last year minus the run? 10$? (thats just a guess I don't know for sure)

[harbs]

yep fundamentally that makes sense..

it's just that drop from 147 to 67 making me think she's due for a bounce, even if dcb..we'll see

[daiello]

I don't think OIL bounces unless opec cuts by a crap load.

Recession looming = less demand = lower oil prices

[harbs]

do we buy some uaua puts soon..? monster move up..if we think oil will bounce soon would be a good move..watching..

[fastlizzy]

Yeah, GOOG is nuts today.....was 394 Tues. morn.

Wish I had gone short on it.....thought about buying some puts! Doh! It's gone down so much it might get a pop on earnings.

[harbs]

made out well but didn't quite hold long enough for the last move to 115..

now watching again..

also goog reports earnings..debating some kind of straddle..

[fastlizzy]

LOL.....did you hold those AAPL calls? Hope so!


nice mover......lots more to go IMO!

[harbs]

oops now 7.7 have been flipping but shoulda held..perfect dip and move again..

[harbs]

bought some back in 4.75 but outted already lol..

[harbs]

outed up to 7.4 today..nice play..now just scalping..wanted to hold longer but markets not cooperating yet after initial run green..

[harbs]

aapl - shoulda sold out in the mid 5's lol..just bought more in back account at 3.35 in the midst of a death drop in the markets..still just nibbling..

[harbs]

go u pig..

[harbs]

in aapl '95 oct calls at 4.3 nibble..stop in at 3.5 area..hoping for a multi-day hold..need a green day on the markets lol..

now back to flipping..

[harbs]

mee - one to keep on watch on that chart maybe mid 20's for next bounce..course needs to coincide with an oil bounce..

[harbs]

mee and aapl on bounce watch..but so many things on watch..can't keep up..

[harbs]

aapl - has had some downgrades this weekend..wonder if she loses that 115 support area and gets under $100 in this market or holds and bounces...

should be some good options opps in the coming days and weeks..

[harbs]

oh boy...i'm in 4.24 average gulp..have no idea what is up..added 3.93

[harbs]

mee - lol..from 32's to 46..we knew oil had to bounce at some point..i didn't hold any calls for the monster gains..oh well, had the right idea..just couldn't hooooooold..

[harbs]

well, today is expire...we can buy puts on stocks that are up huge on a big short squeeze..stay nimble..gulp..

[harbs]

yep been trading gs options all day...man the perfect storm today..didn't even nibble small on aapl after posting on it the hour before the move..oh well..great day anyway..i'm worn out

[daiello]

Calls for everything ran very nicely. GS, MS, MER, BAC, etc.

[harbs]

calls just bounced 1,100% in an hour..hurl

[harbs]

aapl - starting to watch for a bounce w/ the markets...cult-stock, usually bounces back huge..

[harbs]

mee - monster bounce on the calls..wow

[harbs]

monster move..already sold too soon lol..

didn't fill a bunch of orders..

[harbs]

i'm going to start nibbling small on mee oct calls $25-35...probably early but just thinking oil and energy bounces in the coming week or so...

[harbs]

aapl - already bounced some today..but w/ expire this week could be huge plays in the calls..almost always bounces large..down from 180 to 130's..

[harbs]

mee- over and over the $45 calls give 100% when stock drops under 40 and bounces..unbeal..

[harbs]

mee - ended at it's lows...huge tank of 50% in the last few days..and was 55 yday and now 38's..

if there's nothing wrong i'm not aware of yet, and it's just tanking w/ the energy/coal stocks then i'm going to be loading large in some calls - maybe 35 or 40 at some point in the week..and would think we'd have a huge bounce...

[daiello]

Nice job!

[harbs]

2.95 x 3.2 - i'm all out so should fly..except for the stock i bought at 40.79 for my mom in her account...going to use a trailing stop there..

[harbs]

2.75 x 2.9 wow..

almost back to even my first little nibbles lol..

wish i'd loaded a bunch more 1.5-1.7 than i did..

[harbs]

sold some out 2.5 to lock in..

[harbs]

yep, hence the nibbles on the early ones..

this stock has bounced so well so many times in the last 2 months on the drop down from 95..

u just gotta be willing to buy when everyone is selling : )

[daiello]

Timing, makes a huge difference doesn't it lol.
