nice golfnara! I had nflx 470 calls at open at $1.30 sold all at 4.25...was going to hold 1 to see if we hit $575 but decided we are getting in to theta burn time.
Definitely like the Powerball idea! I got in a few YELP calls for next week, hope it happens...what's the buyout number, I see a few are floating around? maybe $70?
remember what happened to DIS? It looked so promising premarket then tanked...interesting on bita.
Nolerman, I remember when you were in KRFT calls! you could have quit your day job on that one alone! gl on YELP.
JB, if I remember correctly you said your YELP calls expire today? if that's right, what strike will you buy to take advantage of this yelp buyout potential...unfortunately my YELP that I held for almost a month expired last Friday, so I am YELP-less right now...sigh. thanks...Would you go out to June 19 and what strike?
omars that's awesome on pcln! Are you still holding your TSLA puts? I might look to try again later, or next week maybe.
oh okay, how much are they worth now, the YELP calls...looks like it too off like a rocket...buyout around $90...maybe I should buy some more if they are finally floating rumors again?
my YELP calls already expired....do you just keep buying them?
Spy ripping but NFLX doing nothing, could be a good short tomorrow JB...maybe 5 bagger.
golfnara, what do you think about Friday? this bounce might turn into a sell off on a bad jobs report perhaps; we were due for a bounce.
pcln well the 1200 calls went from $5.00 to $25 geez oh man!
JB nice action on PCLN off 1182 support, wish I'd bought 1200 went from around $4.00 to over $21...boy it's been a brutal, whipsaw morning..almost feels like an options x.... did you get any good trades? I need to find something good for Friday...let my one bad trade of the week kick me in the backside on tsla...should have just stayed away.
560 nflx puts cool dude...got in at 2.25 just sold two for $5.20 holding 2 more...but really messed up my tsla trade...that was plain stupid, didn't let the premium run off and I honestly didn't expect it to go to $231, big mistake...If I told you what I paid for my 220 tlsa puts you would laugh your head off! brutal...
honestly I went against my premarket plan, which was to short amzn at the $429/430 area and short nflx....for some reason I got all enamored with TSLA right before open and took a butt whooping. I haven't traded against my plan in a long time...should have seen how much volume was coming in on tsla and just stayed away...stubbornness on my part and that's a bad trait in trading...gl to you.
omars I'm out of tsla puts...terrible entry for me...had to take my losses, first bad trade of the week and I went to large on it..gl with tsla,..I just had to cut losses....had a double on nflx puts so that helped.
ya I got in too soon on tsla should have waited..had a great entry on nflx puts though...
omars did you short tsla? what do you think...? I'm in short but getting slammed right now...thanks...I should have waited a bit.
I was hoping to short TSLA at $227, maybe we will get a bounce...I think it could go 210 today but would rather short it higher...will wait for premium to run off first...where are you planning to short it at omars? by the way, nice job on BABA!
Amzn someone knew the upgrade was coming yesterday, did you see the end of day buying action in amzn off the lows of $414! it was due for a bounce on technical after having retraced about 50% of the gap move up after earnings but ...nice upgrade to $600 this morning haha.
Omars you going to short tsla today?
huge $600 upgrade on amzn.
gm cnvegas! I was thinking last night amzn was due for a bounce but then I woke up to those big red futures. What are you thinking of trading today? I still have a lot of work to do this morning. Also looks like tsla gave up all it's gains overnight...that one should be interesting too. And then we've got PCLN on tap for earnings with it's inflated premiums. Gl to you today.
thanks JB that give me an idea on risk management on these earnings...I agree this has been a tough quarter unless you had YELP puts or TWTR puts or AMZN calls or NFLX calls or LNKD puts...I didn't have any of them...I went with GOOGL calls and did ok on the ones in the money but the 595s and above didn't do well...
JB, es that nuts...didn't realize they were so high! By the way, how much do you risk on these earnings plays? like on GMCR calls today...I've kind of stepped out of earnings play because they never seem to pay off for me even when I'm right! I think the only one that has worked out for me was last quarter's PCLN calls...just curious how much your average earnings play is..thanks.
Is there news on goog? looks like it's up near $543 after hours?
Okay thanks, didn't realize people had gone so far out on their options was thinking they had 110 puts or something.
why are your puts screwed Rory on GMCR?
GMCR puts! oh my FREDD! is going to be one rich hombre! wow
thrx reports .09 loss but give out .25 divvy..down after hours but no big move either way so far.
googl was great! I sold my amzn puts too,soon! you think I you learn tha it take all dang day to break down...it does not want to fill the gap very...amzn likes to be difficult..last two weeks ya think I could hold this bugger! You would have scored on NDX! a lot of people thought we would bounce today, so maybe that influenced you to sell, but till a nice trade you had.
on NDX are there really people that bought at $5.90 on Monday and have held to $55.00 today...is this the real deal?
thrx,,,I just have a few may calls and some cheapie June puts...I saw someone bought a boatload of may 15 puts yesterday...so I don't really have much on it, unlike drpharmacist, he's loaded to the gills he said on june calls....
Anyone have trouble loading INVESTORS HUB? or is it jut me...the thing is so loaded with ads I'm wondering if that's what slows it down, by I have to reload quite often to post here...not sure if it's just my computer or others have the same problem...thanks
THRX got a downgrade from Cowen to market perform... stock is down - $1.35 this morning; reports after the bell.
FINALLY AMZN flipping breaks down...been holding these puts for most of the day...what a slow turd...
whomever sold AMZN premiums today did well...that one trades in a nice tight range for hours...
thanks on thrx; I still have my thrx calls but bought some puts too..it seems so odd that 26,000 contracts are sitting on JUNE 19 expiration, compared to everything else...probably nothing but I picked some up just in case...at .05 hard not to...can't see it dropping to $9.00 as it hasn't been below $5.00 since December 2008...it's probably nothing.
Hi drpharmacist...nice job on tsla puts today! Are you still holding your thrx calls? I noticed something strange on the open interest on the June 19 expiration...there are over 26,000 puts sitting at $9.00, what do you make of that if anything? It seems really strange to me, not sure that those puts have gotten any action but just seemed odd. Thanks for your insights.
A lot of volatility today! must be those Mexican jumping beans on cinco day of May.
ooops I forgot about tsla earnings wed after bell, that's why premium is so jacked up...not sure on earning for this one....car sales are likely to be lagging and the battery component won't kick in for awhile...maybe it will get a move prior to earnings but calls look expensive.
I agree on TSLA...looks great for next week...I think it will make a nice move...PCLN I am suspicious of...everyone has had trouble with the dollar and earnings...could be this one builds into earnings then flops...premium will be expensive on it next week for sure.
Like AMZN next wee, too and possibly lnkd for a bounce...googl might do something good as well. gl!
thanks JB; it's been a crazy few years, my son's mom died 2 years ago from brain cancer, then my mom last year and then my 19 year old niece died in a car wreck last summer...too much death...
lnkd 205 calls from .07 trying to run!
drpharmacist any seen him around? Just wondering what he thought of the THRX results...I didn't even much into the play, but I know he did but he was farther out in June so has time for something to happen. It's trying to trade off the lows, but so far looks like news was priced in for the adult side...maybe GSK takes a bigger stake at some point...
