What I'm getting today:
I will be getting ZOLT march $12.50 calls. Great earnings high short float. Soaring AH. GLTA
I use ShareBuilder... Don't ask why... Just what I started with.. I have been flagged one time before and restricted for "freeriding" for trading stocks but it seems to be different for options.... Money is put right into my account and they have not said anything no matter how many trades in make... I have a cash account... Maybe equities and options are treated differently?
Sure in will... Have not because did not think anyone would listen to me since I am pretty new.
If you haven't already... I recommend you get the BACK March 8 calls.... They are on fire since yesterday.
You guys have turned me into an options machine... Thanks so much for everyone's help on this board... I am very grateful.
ZNGA -
Bought march 15 calls this morning for 24c and just sold for 75c... Off 40 contracts... Man I am having a good week... Made almost 4000 off my GMCR calls this morning.... Time for a beer.
Anyone have any idea what my GMCR Feb 55 calls I paid $4 for will be worth in the morning? Should I sell them first thing?
Sorry..... It was GMCR....
OMG.... Something told me to buy the February 55 calls so I bought 5 contracts.... Wow... Hope it pays off in the morning.... Wish me. Luck
There is more money to be made on something other than big banks and SPY.... Lol
Oops..... That was for CALL - magic jack
My first multibagger
Bought 10 Feb 17.50 calls for 92c yesterday and sold them today for $2.19. $1300 profit..... I have learned so much from watching all of you.... Thanks a lot.
I got the same thing... Put in order for 60c and got 55c... Guess I can't complain... Lol
I'm pretty sure the stock already pulled back and recovered from that.. I look for TEVA to continue north.
My watchlist for this week:
NFLX - $120 puts
BIDU - $135 weekly calls
GS - Feb $120 calls
ZNGA - Feb $12.50 calls or $10 puts depending on how it moves early on
Any thoughts?
Anyway thoughts on watching ZYNGA with the news coming about facebook this week?
You may want to keep an eye on BPAX if you are watching TEVA .. The two are connected and BPAX has a huge ruling coming from the FDA on 2/14.. TEVA did most of the work for hopeful approval... If it gets approved both will skyrocket very fast.... Just a thought.
Don't look now but SLV breaking through resistance at $33.

Sorry... Forgot the s
Keenonthemarket.com has them
Oops.... That's supposed to be 7c... Not 70c.
I have Feb $13 calls for F... Had them for a while.. Bought them at 70c..... Paper trading on this one.
My 55c Calls are looking pretty good right now..up $400
I bought and sold the $50 calls this today...and then bought 10 more contracts at 55c this afternoon...i am hoping for a good return
I have learned to better use "the greeks" and volatility to make better decisions.... Thanks for all the help
Still paper trading mikey... Just wanted to try it...
Paper trading:
F - up
BKS - up
AAPL - down... Like most people I guess
GMCR - was up till about an hour ago
This was my first ever real options trade......
Thank you jb.... Bought Feb $50 calls for SBUX at 44c and sold them at 70c... 10 contracts... Nice little $260 profit...
Anyone see GMCR is diving? News out WMT getting their own single serve coffee machine...
This guy was banned from the options millionaire board for spewing this same garbage...
what do you guys think about SWFT Feb calls at 11....earnings just released and beat estimate by $.05 per share?? any thoughts?
Do you think it's too late to buy appl calls at $500 for February? Did I miss the boat here?
so what is the most important thing to look at when finding an option? if it is not just price and which way it is going...i guess i assumed that if the price is going up, the price of the option (call) would also increase....wow, lots to learn here.
Please help with Options Picking...
I have been paper trading options for a week now and every single one has lost money. I bought the following:
goog - 600c for march ----keeps going down (i know why with this one...should have got a put,not a call)??
bpax - 1.00c for march ---was hoping that feb 14th fda approval would make it go up...maybe i bought in too early
aa - 11.00c for february - stock is going up, but option is going down?????
zagg - 16.00c for may - stock is going up, but option is going down??
rimm - 15.00p for march - bought and went up for about an hour and then came back down??
what am i doing wrong here....what is the best way to know when and at what strike to buy an option? any help would be greatly appreciated..just trying to figure out what i am doing wrong.
Thanks...
Or..... Ummm.... Android?
ShareBuilder is only $7.95 per trade and $.75 per contract.... Not $15 and $1.00.
Question about exercising an option.
If you purchase an option (call) that is already in the money, can you buy it, immediately exercise it at the strike price, and then sell the stock right away?
If a stock was at 10.00 and you bought a call contact at .20 with a strike price of 8.00...how would it play out if you exercised it? What would you have to pay for the stock? If you bought 10 contracts would you have to exercise them all?
Any help from the great minds here would be appreciated..
Thanks
Sorry about that... Should have stated... I am paper trading these... Just wanted thoughts on them because I picked them off my scanner... Sorry for the confusion..
