The split and an upgrade or two. I looked at some cals but it sprinted away as I was trying to enter the order...missed some at .38 that went to .85 bummer. Thinking it has to pull back sometime. Still my go higher later. Some saying 120...wtf

NFLX has been crazy today

Credit goes to Smartone for that tip !

Eoption account...OK now. Had my name spelled wrong. Sending ACH set up tomorrow to set up funding transfer. Hopefully ready to try it out next week.

For me, normally trading just a few contracts at a time I'm sure I will like it just due to the much lower costs. I'm not making good exits sometimes because I'm on the hook for $25-30 as soon as I hit the buy button. Now it's going to be like $7-8. The AAPL trade today...they made more than I did. At this point I look smart getting out but had it not move up a pretty good bit I may have just held only to watch it get worse. If you are in for 10+ it's not so bad but if I get over 10 contracts I probably got there in 2 or 3 buys so just heaps the commission on more.

Been waiting days for a confirmation and account number.I'm just going to call in and see what the hold up is.

AAPL 127 call bought yesterday .35 sold .46 ( around 2:30)only had a few and had to use etrade so not much profit. E option taking a long time to open my account. Not sure what's up.

SPY calls..still holding? You'll be up big this morning. I don't know if I trust this market to hold today going into the week-end...but I'm wrong most of the time. SPY did ok yesterday and that influenced me to hold AAPL calls way too long before dumping. Working today so not able to play but good luck.

AAPL ripping in AH put holder better had covered. Maybe we get back rolling tomorrow

AAPL your market moving powers are amazing (tic)You starting doing charts on AAPL and then you and your "Minions" shorted one of the worlds biggest companies right into the toilet. Imagine what you could do to Penny stock crap ? You could RULE THE WORLDDDDDD! LOL
Actually I'm pissed cause I had calls from yesterday and was too stupid to sell this morning. Market was OK for a couple of hours. Didn't see the AAPL swan dive coming. Seemed like there was no bottom.

Why is everyone buying lotto calls on BIDU ? Earnings?

The crooks know what they are doing. Get the little guys to dump for cheap and then sell them back to the chumps later. Hard to win this game.

EDIT yep you made good money... over 4 million shares dumped in the last 10 minutes. What you bet we find out later that Carl Icahn dumped a bunch.hummm
Man you were on the right track with those AAPL puts. $2.60 now geezzz. There is no bottom on it today.

IS there a bottom? I mean really this one has been stupid today.

AAPL the only thing I'm watching that has closed the gap up from this mornings open. Will more follow?

Here is just more evidence of my sorry luck...AAPL is the only stock or index i"m watching that has sold off and filled the gap from yesterday's close...only AAPL only what I'm holding. Shakin' my head Smart just wth?
Well it filled the gap but I'd be surprised if it gets back much over 123.50 again today.

The watch wasn't even supposed to be a factor well..... until they want to make it one. Iphone sales were great and info came out they were increasing the next production run like 10 mill units. If I sold we would be at 126 now if I hold it goes to crap...it's just me

EDIT 2 as i was typing the biach is sinking again....$%#@
EDIT looks like IF it can stage a little rally past 123.50 it might have a chance to get going. Going to give it a few more candles on the 5.
No...highest was .40 I was at .43 on the ask, got back to the computer it had already sold off a little but waited for a bounce.That lost momo and here we are.Yesterday it gapped down and pretty much sold off all day. But that would be expected as I was in calls lol. So today it gaps up..will it keep going up all day. Hell no cause I'm in calls. At this point burning premium and not much sign of a huge rally. SPY, IWM started turning up but AAPL not wanting to follow the market today. But yesterday they were in lock step

We got the early bounce but the bid is weak on these calls. Nobody thinks it will hold or keep moving up. Stock up $1 my 125's flat from yesterday

Had to guess the open price, had a bid in at .43 but didn't fill. Now waiting...my wife was leaving for work right when market open so bad distraction a the worst time..Need a little over 124 to get stronger bid on these calls.

I had a bad day..needed that laugh LOL now that was funny.I guess I will be eating a serving of that too.

AAPL So much for holding 123...They ran it into the ground.Going to need a decent bounce in the morning to salvage this one.SPY and IWM didn't end up too bad...maybe something good will happen over night

EDIT REALLY want that 123 level to hold on AAPL. Trading wildly back and forth.
So far nothing dramatic either way... SPY kind of put in a DBL bottom with yesterdays low so really watching to see if we can close off the low of the day..

NYSE about to come back on line. Wonder what effect that will have? I've been in so long now premium is eating away....Surprised the good news had no effect on it today. market just too negative.

AAPL 123.76 Pivot on 5 min chart? What you got?

AAPL and SPY trying AGAIN...can pigs fly?

Favs are AAPL, TSLA plus a little BIDU,LNKD,IWM,AMZN,BABA, GOOGL never works for me. NFLX gets expensive,Used to trade FSLR a good bit too

EDIT If they can get the NYSE back on line we might get a rally. Stocks are still trading but I'm sure not at 100%
SPY is trying to turn up. Hope AAPL will get some love soon too!

AAPL well that's working for ya! I'm back about break even again. Where is that dollar rally we need?

Panic sellers or bold buyers? Jeezzzz my AAPL calls were hanging in there till this happened. NAS still trading but stupidly

EDIT AAPL 125 calls @ .39 Both starting to turn up. Typing too fast trying to catch this train.

Some weeks I only have certain days I can trade so it's hard to be patient. Forced to try to make money here if I don't get called into work. Things starting to firm up a bit now...maybe a reversal of some sort pretty soon here. Don't trust the rallies much so going to protect my profit when it gets there.

EDIT good idea I thought it might snap back but indicators really were not confirming.
AAPL 125 wkly call a few @ .49 jumped a few minutes too early...
Your stuff working today?

EDDY don't post pink sheet crap here. Options only thanks

AAPL nice! Look at LNKD if you would have flipped to calls after your put exit this morning WOW. AAPL was much slower to pay off. Thankfully it did. Had to trade that in the etrade account but I had enough contracts to make it pay off decent money.

Since I'm the King of Stupid on this board I'll say it's worse than 50/50 maybe 75% a bad idea. If you do you almost always need to get out when it goes your way. Sometimes the trend is right but the trade is too early so it can work out but for me it's mostly been throwing good money after bad...

AAPL call 126 out .68 !!!

SPY trying to go GREEN!

AAPL getting some traction now. Riding out that dip sure sucked lol.
Still looks like it has potential for now.

Tesla Motors Inc. (TSLA) was downgraded to hold from buy at Deutsche Bank on Tuesday on valuation concerns. The brokerage remains bullish on the company's long-term plans to leverage its scale and battery systems in stationary storage, a project the company announced in April, but said Tesla's shares at this point appear to already reflect the opportunity. "Investors have been relatively optimistic on the market opportunity," said analyst Rod Lache. Despite the downgrade, Deutsche Bank said in believes stationary storage growth "will be very substantial" a few years down the road, and estimated that it could add around $2.20 to Tesla's earnings per share.
