I remember mentioning it too. The point was 1) "if anyone had watched the show Friday night" -- 2) how many saw the potential if different paths were taken by SMKY and/or potential paths down the road "if" things were to change?

On a side note, I just stumbled upon a blog last night about crowdfunding websites. Anyone heard about this?

Did anyone watch Shark Tank Friday night with Echo Valley Meats... was interesting how the guy did most of his business by mail order and went around giving out samples.

He didn't get a deal but he got exposure.

Pledge Not To Sell Genetically Modified Salmon At Costco

You do every Friday at happy hour! ;)

I guess time will tell. I never put a few months on this anyway... more like years. What's left to lose, right? I don't hold tons of shares like some of you here. Just like to look and see how the story is playing out. GL

I don't think the run into the .20's and .30's had anything to do with the ceo posting on ihub. My take was that the shares were being held tightly by the longs back then and level 2 was thin.

If there's a group behind this (some chatroom or skype that you keep saying) why wouldn't they let it run higher? Doesn't make sense to me as it ran higher last time. It certainly wouldn't need to be stuck at .05. If they have all of this control, I know they can actually prop the bid up rather than hitting the bid so what's your take on what's going on here. If they can take it down that easily, they can certainly take it up.

I saw your post earlier in the week, maybe even last week on ST and although the bid was very wide, was able to get in low and sold as it rose.

Did anyone roll a portion of their profits into October calls? Would be nice to see this one keep going and fill that gap.

Thanks.

Maybe UPB can confirm for us. I know he loves to do those late night video updates!!

You are having way too much fun making these videos tonight!

Oh btw, these August monthlies ended up hitting $60!

Next time... we load the dip!

:) Congrats! That's what I miss when trading options though.... can't trade after hours and get my $$.

SKUL beat :)

I have a few of those myself. Not sure what to expect from SKUL. I swing traded the shares over the last two weeks twice and made $ so they will probably miss and I will give it all back. :o

LNKD - congrats to all of you call holders. I luckily picked up two calls. Hope to make back what I lost trying to trade those shares yesterday.

Of course I have one put as well.

Thanks. :)

I just found some good reading on optiontradingpedia.com

Why do some stocks have no movement/volume etc on their options?
Say I want to short NVO but prefer to buy puts, I can't b/c the spreads are crazy and/or there is no volume or interest. Don't the options move with the stock or does there still have to be interest? Sorry for the newbie question if it's obvious. Thanks.

Weird day. Wish I had stayed away from LNKD though. Nice bounce at the eod there. Hope the shorts prove you wrong Jimmybob.

GMCR set to resume trading at 4:20pm

Right? It's really taking a beating. Why aren't the calls moving in price though? I notice that they haven't moved but 5 cents here and there.

Maybe I'll just sit on the 200dma to pick up some shares.

Market selloff into the close is what I'm thinking but what do I know. Reality should set in real soon. I have a few SPY puts left. :)

ECB comments out in the AM. Last big announcement for the markets. We'll see what happens.

and.... it can't keep it up.

lol

Don't know. LNKD rising from the dead.

LNKD new lod

One day too early for LNKD. Too many shorts.

Lol. Welcome to my world. Looks like LNKD won't be going anywhere for now. Think I'll just sit back and wait for the Fed reaction.

FB ruined my trading in LNKD when it (FB) went public. I've stayed away from LNKD since then. Maybe I shouldn't have revisted the trade this week. We'll see what happens.

LNKD took a little beating this morning but seems to be recovering a little. The 5 minute rounded bottom looking better on both the 5 and 15 min. I'm in shares. Didn't bother with options.

Seems to be a tricky one today.

What price did you get in at for the $120 and $130 LNKD calls?
Thanks.

I sold the AAPL monthlies at $7.55 the other day... :(

Hit a high of $32-$33 today

I think we missed the opportunity now. Gotta wait for it to come back down.

Thanks for posting that. Was wondering if you were still in the SPY puts. I am in the monthlies but still wish we were done with these next two days already.

Sysco is still selling it.

Suggestions for what to do with excess inventory.

First of all, there is a shelf life and it's longer than a few weeks so any product that has not been sold yet is still very much up for grabs.

Maybe SMKY should consider sending free samples to all of the talk shows like so many of these other companies do. Remember when Oprah would have her favorites on tv and companies would take off without enough manpower to complete the orders?

Did you watch the CNBC special on those silly bands? Once they showed up on Katie Couric's program, they took off (overnight).

So my suggestion is get some of those products that are laying around waiting to be sold or shipped out to Sysco and send all those talk shows a sample of what Smoky has to offer. Good Morning America, The Today Show, Live With Kelly, The View, Dr. Oz, OWN..............there are probably many more.

I'm with you; however, I think since I'm already bearish the beginning of this week is going to test my nerves a bit. I don't think we'll see a down day until mid-week just before the Fed announcement. I almost wish the market was closed another two days......

"IF" is a hill you cannot climb. lol

The most important word in this post is "if"

How come many people on this board never talk about how much you can lose in these trades? Things can go wrong just as easily and even more quickly if/when you're in the wrong trade or on the wrong side of the trade.

PNRA reported a few days ago. My August put doesn't look so good. It did great. Look at all those gaps on the chart.

**(I meant their earnings did great)

Already saw this along with the other video, I found a while ago. One thing I guess I'd like to point out is Eddie has a dream, he certainly doesn't seem to be giving up on it as he has shown tenacity and fortitude.

Why would he go through all the trouble of getting the name out there through various avenues if he didn't want to succeed as a real business?
