SPY 130's on deck - Haven't seen it there in a while.
AAPL 428's callin' - ALL TIME HIGHS!
AAPL at 52w heights? Wow 427's - 430 today???
CAT: Keep on watch next days! I think she might be topping out here, although dividends and earnings coming up. My gut tells me it will be heading down.
Posted the chart earlier when Feb 90 Puts were .52, now they're almost .60 on ask.
I would go in some Feb 90 Puts while day-trading others. Could be worth it.
SHLD pop/ squeeze on "going private rumors". These rumors in all of these stocks are worse than OTC.
I sold out both. Too much BS. And when I noticed that it didn't go down on bad news (actually ended up green that day) and almost 50% short of public float. Shoulda stuck to my original plan when I posed the chart for bounce/ reversal off 29-30 on the black doji candle.
SHLD: wow there I missed a 10-bagger right here because I sold my Jan 40 Calls on the bad news last week. Just too much BS with this stock.
SHLD HOLY CRAP! 38's! SQUEEZE ALERT!!!
SHLD 37's up 12%+ SQUEEZING! argh!!!! My 40 Jan Calls would've looked so sweet now
And yet it continues going up. Shoulda kept my 40 Jan Calls. This stock is just too much. Too much BS
SHLD 36's up 7.50%! Damn, shoulda kept my 40 Jan Calls despite the bad news last week. This stock is just too much. Too many shorts in too (almost 50% of public float).
NFLX BIG SPIKE!: LOL, new rumors!
GMCR: Watching if it can break the ma50 properly and move higher. Could be interesting and maybe a good play for 60's
PCLN: wow
AAPL starts the new week with strength. Now everything's possible. Even 430-440 before earnings.
TSLA: anybody got 25 Calls right before close? Was 22 Friday EOD and now 27's - People way overreacted last Friday's news.
SPY 130's. Everything's OK, nothing to worry, EU downgrades, Greece default, what?

NFLX: I hope it goes to da moon, as high as possible before earnings. A gap down will be the bigger and harsher :)
Probably. I will most likely play AAPL + NFLX on earnings. Can't wait. (The latter won the recent war against me but i'm eager to get my losses back on this POS soon)
Article: AAPL - How NOT to bet on Apple's quarterly earnings report: http://tech.fortune.cnn.com/2012/01/15/how-not-to-bet-on-apples-quarterly-earnings-Report/
(not sure if I agree fully, but interesting article anyway)
CAT: Yeah could be a fun Puts play soon but i'd wait couple more days probably.
CAT: I have a question to those who entered it with Puts. Do you think CAT will have a pull-back at all since they have dividends paying in couple days? I wonder if usually all stocks go up before dividends since it seems a driving force for a stock as more people wanna get in, no? Maybe I don't understand it fully.
Also looking at the chart it does seem to have some more mojo left, yes it's entering overbought but it looks like it still could go a little, no?
That is (partially) true. I had to learn it the hard way this week in NFLX. Gotta be honest, not just posting gains but also losses. Option-god giveth, Option-god taketh.
I made nearly $8k on my swing trade in AAPL last Friday only to lose it all in NFLX this week. The mistake i made is to be too euphoric and over-confident, rushed into a new trade a week ago thinking NFLX will retrace and do a big correction for sure after being so overbought. I was only interested in a nice dip last Monday. Unfortunately there was no real dip and I continued to hold it since i didn't wanna sell for loss. And I made many experiences in the past where I sold for loss only to see the Calls/ Puts go up shortly after. But in this case and in hindsight I wish i did because it killed my $.
That said I wouldn't generalize + punish traders who trade with more than just a few hundred bucks in Options. To each his own and I think newbs are smart enough to know to paper-trade first, learn Options and start with small $ first. But of course this is your board and in future I will only post %-gains/ losses here and keep the rest on twitter.
SPY now on the way to be green later? These markets are a joke!
S&P DOWNGRADES FRANCE!
NFLX 96's on a big down-market: YEP, THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE! :)
I have seen many things in this stock market but not this yet.
Yes, holding, although i'm pi$$ed about the move yesterday. It dips to 27's in pre-market on the bad news only to go green and 34 later in the day? WTF
Total irrational move on these crappy news for Sears. I hope this BS won't continue just because of the low public float and short interest.
It was on TV, maybe there was some link to a online video, can't find it. I don't think he's the first one to say SHLD is going BK either.
The fact Lampert bought SHLD shares from his Hedge fund (and not in open market) means the investors there are dissatisfied and don't trust it.
SHLD: Rips and ends up green yesterday on very bad news. The world is upside down folks!
But this is most likely the reason:
SHLD - Jim Rogers says "Sears will go bankrupt 100% Certain"! And today's bad news might be the start of the fall into teens short-term.
Not sure why it's still in 31's now but I guess the fall will accelerate later and next trading days.
I would pick up some Jan/ Feb Puts.
SHLD Loaded more Jan 25 Puts @ .20-.24 - I think she's done now after these news today. Should be down much more already, I assume it's some morning short covering.
SPY red!: Nice gap + trap
NFLX BIG TANKAGE!!!! 80's!!!!!
NFLX TANKING! 90's, watch when it breaks below 90
Mt. Blanc, for the last time, I can't reply to your PM's as I don't use a $-subscription on iHub. So please don't private-message me anymore, thanks :)
But yes I do think SINA can hit the ma50 (65'ish) on chart at least, especially on this JPM upgrade and it already gapping up nicely.
Who knows, we might see 65's today already, wouldn't be surprised. What if 70 tomorrow? Maybe get a few lotto W70 calls for a hundred or few hundred bucks :)

SINA: Funny, I actually didn't see when you originally posted/ called it. I went in because i saw Mt Blanc saying he'll probably go in Puts soon so I looked at the chart and saw the oversold reversal going on. So I thought it might indeed end up at ma50 on chart by end of this week.
The JPM upgrade helps of course too.
