Can you give me the symbols for the puts you bought? Thanks
bot PUTs on SHW now at 54
I hope so, because I am sitting on some calls @ 80% loss!
Right now I have 2 oct 93 calls on GLD
FNGP will go back up, looks like the selling is over.
I say no pain no gain. Let the market work. No bailout is good.
The message is clear - No money? DO NOT BUY!
But I don't think the congress really has the guts to that. It is all politics. Something will pass soon.
If they never agreed to Paulson plan to give him dictatorial powers in the first place the market would have been fine. Even now I think we shouldn't make laws based on Wall Street!
We got here because we are all used to buying on credit. This 700B bailout, the FED's printing press solution will only make things worse.
I bought GLD calls
Buy Gold - GLD I bought 2 calls for Oct 88
Thanks, I don't need to become insane, I am already insane!
Any way right now I have 2 calls for DIA 133 and 1 put for DIA 108. Tomorrow if the market goes up I will sell the calls and watch my 1 PUT!
After that I will follow you, please post when it is time to get into these metals, I will watch too.
What do you think about TAN - solar ETF?
I am cheap too, I don't put much in any options, to limit my risk.
This is very good to know! i have a question.
GS Oct 135 9.70, 130 is 13.00,140 is 7.10 and the stock closed at 137.99
Is there a way to predict what happens to these calls if the stock moves up $5.00 or down $5.00?
I read in some options explanation that the Intrinsic value of In-the-money option is the difference between the strike price and options price. Then you have to add the Time value.
So 138(rounded number)-130=8 13-8 = 5
138-135 = 3 9.70-3=6.70 This doesn't work
Then if Out of the money options have Zero Intrinsic value then why is 140 call 7.10? This is all very confusing.
Option4you, How do you decide to buy that particular options? Thanks, I am trying to learn.
I have some Oct DIA 113 calls. All expectations are that Sunday there will be the Big bailout and Monday the markets will rock. Is anyone in these and/or other Indexes?
Tarani, what do you think of this plan.
Since you can't call the direction of the market or a particular stock, what if we buy 1 call and 1 put for the same strike price on the indexes, ex: DIA. And on Monday all indications are that the market will bounce, while it is going up we keep adding to our puts, and then when it starts going down, sell the calls and keep repeating this? What will happen?
IPRE, I bought Oct 113 calls on DIA!
Is this a good price to buy fre and fnm?
Hi, I am in LEHMQ, can we have a chart? Thanks
Also can you do a chart on GS?
IPRE, before you said that you didn't like GS!
How high do you think this will go before Oct options expire?
and what do you think about GRMN - calls, of course. Now I like these calls and am very excited about them and not interested in pinkies any more.
Thanks
That link has a lot of good info. thanks
I was accumulating GS calls and today Warren Buffet is putting 5B into it.
That's good. I am in AIG calls and doing great!
Can you look at the chart and see where AIG is going?
What about calls on MS and GS - they now changed status to bank holding companies so they can take in deposits!
I sold MER to get AIG
Also look at CIT, they asked to be on the no shorting list
you mean LEH board? What did I say?
You know how they say in England - the King is dead! Long live the King!
LEH is dead, long live LEH!!
LEHMQ trading on pink sheets!
Rumor has it - AIG shareholders are planning to pay off the debt sooner than later
AIG, Lehman going up
Take a look at AIG and Lehman
Out of GS call and in AIG oct 5 calls.
AIG shareholders planning to pay off 85B fed debt!!
Isn't Warren Buffet taking over CEG for 26.50 a share?
Market rocking - Dow up 430 pts!
GS went back up, I got 1 Oct 130 call @6.50 - now 7.30!
I also got some WM 2.50 Oct calls!
Calls are options to buy a stock at a fixed price some time in the future. You need to read up on it. and be very careful, because it is too risky!
CASH IS KING!
I got nervous and sold the GS call for 320 with 380 loss!
I think now it will go up. I will stay in cash.
It is ok, because yesterday I made 370% on SNDK and I still have a few calls on it. And I also bot some gold calls in ABX and AUY
I hope you are right, I just bot Sept 95 GS put for 7.00 per contract! Wish me luck!
You mean Sep put? Which strike price?
Time to get back into USS?
Thans, I will watch PCFG, I don't know why GSPG is tanking?
Let's buy gold - CGLD, GSS, GLD calls or GG Calls?
I sold SNDK calls @ 373% gain!!! I can't believe it!
Now how about NXG?
