nope...i was trying to buy FAS at cheapest price but never got filled and able to change it
Maybe we can break the 9000-9500 mark with this rally
thanks Z...i am watching it...i think it makes another new 52 week low before it goes up some
Morning HoPers...DOW looks green for now...I dont think it will hold though. I hope FAS drops some so I can pick it up but looks like Fins are up at the moment like yesterday.
WFC might be a good bank to buy into also....Pretty good divi. rating right now but waiting to see on there next one if they end up cutting and if so how much. Right now paying 8.79% divi.
had a loan with them for about a month a little over a year ago...ending up getting loan with local bank and cheaper interest.
I think the best bank to own will be JPM and probably even GS but I dont own any of them..I might start with JPM on some dips
I've just been lurking and pretty much staying clear of the market. Havn't really done much except I shorted HSNI at 7.09 and closed it too early but I like profit so can't complain. Also been a little busy at work for past couple weeks and not much able to watch market.
Z what ya think about FITB? Looks like it going to be a good pincher.
FAS has been good to flip last couple days but I haven't due to missing target I wanted to buy at... Its coming back down for me though and will buy if it drops some more. Had order last week for 7.20 and got down to 7.21....wish I had order at 7.25 cause I would of sold it in 9's or 10's.
SKF options high compared to XLF...I think it will be a good PUT on SKF but I think XLF will be a good CALL also. I might wait a couple days and get a CALL ITM
someone D/L from somewhere
Not much...how are you...Good Morning ALL
Anyone thinking about XLF 11.00 or 12.00 Calls this week?
I've seen Gran Torino a week or 2 weeks ago. Its pretty good I think. I got it on DVD...lol
Thoughts on VG?
Anyone jump in RAD? I got in at .35 and seems like it cant or dont want to break .37...trading tight between .35-.37
I should of held my short on HSNI but I didn't want to take chance since I cant watch
what ya short on? I was short on HSNI Monday and closed it yesterday to get profit
I took profit today also on my short from Monday....lol...HSNI from 7.09 to 6.61
bought some RAD at .35 also...hope not going to be dumb
I dont think it is a short call.
ZLC been doing good...thought about buying other day but never did and now up over 40% in 2 days
also UIS is doing good...my other brother bought some at .56 & think he sold it at .99 or had order at that. Dunno if he changed it. at 1.18 now
Whats thoughts on shorting HSNI?...has had big run since early Dec. 12th from 1.50 - 7.55 to yesterday and going down some today
You can sell same day...say you buy 1 contract which equals 100 shares at 1.00 a share and jumps up 100% to 2.00 then yes you would get your money back plus 100% before commission
1 contract X 1.00 = $100
Sell 1 contract X 2.00 = $200
Happy New Year Everyone
Have great X-mas, & New Year. Got anything you think market will do the rest of the year?
Wish I was around to catch some of this play to get some $. Maybe next time I will be. or just put an order out if I see it in time
I guess Option Monster is in his cave loading up on bread & ammo. Hes been gone for awhile again.
whats ya'll take on ZLC...Seen alot of people talking about it this past week and looking into for a bounce. Also a low floater right at 32 million and a director just bought some shares at 6.xx to have a 28.5% stake in company.
Same here...All my PUTS I've sold for a lose this week and my calls are losing also cause of not enough time and dumb ass me held thinking its going to keep going up so I will reap more reward. So I will be sitting on sidelines until I can see what is going on.
Auto bailout talks collapse over union wages
Senate auto bailout deal collapses over Republican demands of quick union wage cuts

Yahoo! Buzz Print WASHINGTON (AP) -- A $14 billion emergency bailout for U.S. automakers collapsed in the Senate Thursday night after the United Auto Workers refused to accede to Republican demands for swift wage cuts.
Workers leave the Chrysler Truck Assembly plant in Warren, Mich., Thursday, Dec. 11, 2008. Prospects for a $14 billion auto industry rescue bill dimmed Thursday amid growing opposition in both parties and despite urgent appeals by both President-elect Barack Obama and President George W. Bush. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya)
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he was "terribly disappointed" about the demise of an emerging bipartisan deal to rescue Detroit's Big Three.
He spoke shortly after Republicans left a closed-door meeting where they balked at giving the automakers federal aid unless their powerful union agreed to slash wages next year to bring them into line with those of Japanese carmakers.
Republican Sen. George V. Voinovich of Ohio, a strong bailout supporter, said the UAW was willing to make the cuts -- but not until 2011.
Reid was working to set a swift test vote on the measure Thursday night, but it was just a formality. The bill was virtually certain to fail to reach the 60-vote threshold it would need to clear to advance.
Reid called the bill's collapse "a loss for the country," adding "I dread looking at Wall Street tomorrow. It's not going to be a pleasant sight."
The implosion followed an unprecedented marathon set of talks at the Capitol among labor, the auto industry and lawmakers who bargained into the night in efforts to salvage the auto bailout at a time of soaring job losses and widespread economic turmoil.
"In the midst of already deep and troubling economic times, we are about to add to that by walking away," said Sen. Chris Dodd, D-Conn., the Banking Committee chairman who led negotiations on the package.
Sen. Bob Corker of Tennessee, the GOP point man in the talks, said the two sides had been tantalizingly close to a deal, but the UAW's refusal to agree wage concessions by a specific date in 2009 kept them apart.
The autoworkers' contract doesn't expire until 2011.

Bought some 3.00 CALLS on Ford this morning at .30...right now at .44/.45

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=33997595
lol...same here but I guess my calls will eventually be on the good side and hopfully make up the lose on PUTS
I kindda hope it is. I got some PUTS & and CALLS in some options but with market somewhat trading sideways this past week I'm losing money on my options. I have more PUTS so I hope it falls or atleast a couple stocks.
If you buy PUTS you expect the price to go lower and your shares that you own in the stock don't matter to that.
