LOL....Im with ya on that...still holding my PUTS & have 2 calls with the same PUTS I have and they losing money also...go figure
I have no idea on this market either...I know I might step back for a little bit after this option expire and wait. Right now Market seems like trading sideways and I can't watch it so Im losing money.
Morning Fed...they are when I just looked at them on bloomberg
I think you keep same strike price and they end up making new option symbol....I got TMA 2.50 options right before RS or right after when it was at 2.50 and ended up coming out with new ones and I have to call in this option now to sell it I guess. I think Roag on Drpennystock has the same thing.... Basically my 2.50 options are 25.00 options now since RS
I dont use etrade but it should show a Bid & Ask & last sell... You can sometime buy at bid or below ask.
Pull up stock and click under options and shows ya diff. strike prices and everything. Also cbsmarketwatch & finance yahoo shows you the same thing but im sure etrade is more up to date on prices. Also should be a days range
Any PUT means you think it will go lower. A CALL means you think it will go up.
Morning UPB & All...so far looks like profit taking aleast from last weeks rally...I need it so my PUTS can pay off...lol
Here ya go another link to check out....Option Monster always recommends this... http://www.cboe.com/LearnCenter/Tutorials.aspx
Also if you don't know then each contract is worth 100 shares so whatever price you buy is multiplied by 100 & that is cost per contract. Dunno what broker you have also. Each broker charges diff. on options and usually is higher than stocks.
tried to pick some up at .90 .95 & 1.05 but never got filled...I was a little late on it
you have to get approved for options if you haven't already and you find strike price you want or a little farther out if you want cheaper and buy to open and then when you sell it is sell to close. options expire every 3rd friday of the month if not mistaking.
once you do trade options and make big profit you probably wont buy stocks or as much as ya did before. I use to buy stocks but since options I might have bought 1 or 2 stocks & sold since that in 5-6 months
also welcome to the board
That is UPB your talking about if not mistaking.
Dont blame ya...I would be happy also
I know ya really wish ya held now at 8.30's

Dunno...I know DLP is cheaper and think its suppose to be better that plasma but its getting better...Guy I work for heard couple bad things about DLP but who knows.
lol...you have good turkey day & you go shopping today?
ya...market is weird....You think it will start a decline next week after data comes out on shopping and everything else or everyone look past that if GM & all get bailed out
bought this one...great review ratings I see and great price or to me it is...almost bought 56 samsung last week but didn't

good job...thought about buying at 2.50 for quick flip...see that would of been
why is a CALL 200 out of money cost about the same as a PUT thast is 55-60 out of money.
Like CALL 370 is asking 1.45 & a PUT 90 is asking 1.45....Stock price right now 142.xx
looks like pretty much the market just going to trade sideways
Citi made a good jump today so far.
I see people like to change there names around this time of year
Helped the economy some also...bought me a 60 inch TV for 1k & bought 22" monitor for 130.00....I still gotta buy for other now...lol
thanks...Hope you and everyone else has a Good Thanksgiving also.
Morning...looks like SHORT SHORT SHORT PUTS PUTS PUTS right now LOL
good job....wish I had time friday but didn't even look at lunch cause had to do some stuff.
Think this will keep going up or just this week then back down?

I think in the GS deal he has options to at 110 or whatever if he wants to take it plus he gets 10% return or something like that.
Just think they wanted to take over Wachovia in Oct.
