In $BIDU w 115 puts @ .73
Yes indeed, wish it were going our way but oh well, I only grabbed 10 contracts.
Out other 1/3 $VXX w 15 calls @ .30
In @ .21 out at .28 and .30 for a tidy little profit of $2,300
$VXX 15 w calls .30 x .32
In $DNDN 7 w calls @ .30 for the lotto
Well done MB! Making money on both sides the last couple days. All about anticipation.
Out 2/3 $VXX 15 w calls @ .27 from .21
Holding other 1/3
$VXX w 15 calls .27 x .28
Thanks for the heads up, was the call volume on the 7 before or during the pop?
Rockin, nice one UPB!
$VXX 15 w calls .25 x .26
In @ .21
On opposite sides now huh :0) BOL!
In 300 contracts $VXX 15 calls @ .21 on volume.
To me, THIS is the strategy. Wait for Imp. Vols to cool off a little bit after earnings, then see how the market over/under-reacted and trade accordingly.
Interesting to see $UA popping over 5% on what I consider only decent numbers. Inventories increased ~245 million to $381 million and they only increased profit $1 million despite a revenue increase of $369 million? That's not good. Very interesting and will be looking at puts today I think.
Sympathy raise in guidance that I doubt will materialize. May look further out but I think puts are ultimately the play here.
I'm not sure anyone thinks a good $AAPL ER will save the economy, but it sure as hell will save the DAY tomorrow. :D
Should be an excellent opportunity to buy $SPY puts Wednesday around 3 p.m. eastern.
Here comes covering...
I think this is a good selling point. Just my 2 cents.
Spanish short-selling ban is on ALL stocks, not just financials...very interesting.

Oh I know, it is just my timing with $MCP in general. I forget about her, then chase. I just don't watch it as closely as I do other securities, for whatever reason.
Ha, trust me I've played $MCP like 10 times, averaging down, adding on a solid move, I just don't have the touch with that baby. Not quite sure what it is. I like that trade though!
I always screw up my molycorp entries, but I feel like i always have the right idea. BOL on this one Mikey!
Diggin it.
Nice, GL bud! Looking good for sure.
Nice call UPB!
Big volume still coming in on the $VXX 13 w puts. Over 24k now and almost all of it on the ask. Watch out for inflated premiums but I think it is a good indicator.
Out other 1/2 $VXX w 13 calls @ .11 from .08 and .09
In $SLV 27 w calls @ .11
I got out 1/2 @ .13 because I had a few too many after I added at .09, looking for 13.35 best case. I think we'll end up around 13.80 as LOD today though. Either way very nice trade, I'll take it.
Ha, I have no idea, wasn't me! Just watching the tape :0)
I WISH I had that kind of money to be buying ~$25k way OTM options in bulk like that. When I bought those $AAPL puts friday my palms were sweating and it was the first time I've been in a genuinely nerve-wrecking trade in a long, long time.
Luckily it worked out well because it was about 8% of my working capital :0o
Anyway the tape on these $VXX w puts has been telling for the past 2 weeks. Sharks realize that it is broken and have been pouncing on it non-stop and making a lot of money. Not that it will always be the case, for instance this morning the w 15 calls were up 500%, but still, the $VXX is hurting because of peoples' expectations, and it is easily exploitable.
Out 1/2 $VXX w 13 puts @ .13 from .08 and .09
Holding the rest for a little while to see if we can't fill more of that gap.
I hear that!
$VXX w 13 puts .13 x .14
Nice one bud! That's what I like to see. Think you may have sold a little early though ;)
Nice call on $VXX puts Mikey, glad I snatched those up. Watching the tape made it quite obvious.
$VXX w 13 puts .11 x .13
2,000 $VXX w 13 put contracts just got bought on the .12 ask even with the market hitting resistance. Just a heads up.
$SPY looking to break out, new HOD coming.
Beautiful trade on those $SPY puts, well done MM!
