AAPL: In .40 (Dec5 415 Calls), out .42, lol the fade p..ed me off, only to see it ripping to new heights EOD like out of nowhere, WTF
POT - Disappointing today. SPY ripping, POT dipping. I understand it had a nice rally yesterday but still, expected much better performance today.
AAPL - got some DEC5 415 Weekly Calls @.40
POT - unnecessary dip - Hope this is a "W" forming and up it goes again.
What happened, Mikey?
AAPL WOW, SPIKE!
POT - So strong today! (I'm up almost 100% now on my Quarterlies)
POT 45 Quarterlies .24 up now!
AAPL: The new iTV is coming but do they need DirectTV? It's not like Apple had to buy their own carrier when they introduced the iPhone. We'll see :) Rumors Shrumors for now :) I bet some Anal-yst will bring NFLX into these rumors too.
Oh Jan, you've got plenty of time then. By then your Calls should be a lot more worth, no? So why worry? :) Yes it will probably decay a little but i also see a big correction of SPY in 1-2 weeks and VXX bounce to 40's again
Wouldn't touch VIX/ VXX yet - I think they'll be ripe in January :) Let the SPY piglets get a little fatter, to 130's and the big correction/ crash will be sweeter :)
POT gapping up - 43's! I can see 46-50 next week if all goes well and it goes up at this rate.
SPY: Santa is here, finally. 126's gapper so far. I think we might see a rip to 130's this time and then a big correction early January.
See this? It's pissing me off, maybe talk to jimmybob about finally banning SpaceBound (PipBoy): http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=70205343
POT squeezing! 43's calling!!!
POT - nHod!
lol yes i got steamrolled by Santa this time. Oh well. I was too stupid not take almost 100% gains yesterday in my Puts.
Both are in for a nice bounce and then some.
GL + squeeeeeze it to da moon
Very nice man! I saw the Sanglucci guy tweeting about it today and i didn't pull the trigger sooner but i'm in the Quarterlies now.
POT: We'll see. That's why I got the quarterlies. POT was/ is around 52w lows and bounced off and now also got upgraded by Anal-ysts.
Potash Corp of Saskatchewan (POT): RBC Capital raises its recommendation to Outperform from Sector Perform on account of an increasingly attractive valuation. Accordingly, the price target is also increased by $8 to $58.
POT: Filled for more 35 contracts @ .14 (+ 3 @ .15) of 45-Quarterlies. Holding 138 now - ($1,780.00 Cost) at avg .128
POT: Got 100 contracts of Quarterly 45 Calls @ .12+.13
SPY: I can only blame myself... for being too greedy yesterday. I was up almost 100% but due me being stubborn and thinking more retrace was coming in SPY i held on my Puts and held on and now instead of nice profits i lost it. I can probably say the Weekly 120/ 121 Puts and some small lotto 117 (all together combined worth like 3000.00) are probably gone while i still hold Quarterly 121 Puts (worth 1000.00), maybe i can get something out of those next week.
Sometimes one needs to learn it the hard way, especially when trading SPY. This mofo can bounce and go hard the other way and do so big time.
This week wasn't my best one. I not only left a lot of $ on the table but also didn't take profits.
And i was my own worst enemy. I didn't stick to my guns in PCLN when i got those calls for reversal and now i f..ed up in SPY.
I could write a book how many times i left $ on the table by being too greedy. Because 100% are so common in Options i am too often trying to push for more but that is just stupid. This week I could've made $8-10k or more in PCLN + SPY but due to these mistakes i'm at a loss of what I put in.
And I am man enough to admit my mistakes and now i paid the price. Not the markets are to blame and i didn't get scammed out of my $ but simply my own choices are to blame.
It's now time for me to finally learn from these stupid mistakes and hope others can learn from this example so we don't become "Sisyphus": http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sisyphus
Very good post, UPB! I'm getting tired of people like SpaceBound (PipBoy) only show up either to post his gains (and never any losses) and gloat about other people's misfortunes or show up only when stuff is in his favor but is nowhere to be found when it's the other way.
This board doesn't need this childish OTC crap and I was hoping SpaceBound (PipBoy) would finally stop but nothing has changed, he's very much the same.
I understand you can't quickly ban people but it's getting very tiresome (i have already blocked/ ignored him) but if he doesn't stop maybe at some point jimmybob should step in and use his mod-powers.
SPY: Why would I be out of Puts already earlier? It's almost back at LOD-levels. I'm waiting for later when it's hopefully in mid or low 122's to sell for 100% hopefully.
We'll see. My last post of my 15 possible here for today. Have good trading all, you'll find me on twitter.
Cheers
SPY will bounce a little on the 1-min/5-min chart but overall on the 1hr chart still way lower to go for correction. Waiting for another leg down later, under 123 and low 122 possibly. If 121's today that would be super sweet too.
We'll see. Nothing is ever for sure. A pump can come out of nowhere as usually.
SPY let's see 121 today or lower :)
SPY: Weeeeee my Puts looking nice :)
SPY: Got 35 W 121 Puts @ .21 now as well (Cost $770)
SPY: Got 27 Quarterly 121 Puts @ .71 ($1820.00 Cost) - I intended to buy the Weekly but was mistakenly in the Quarterly Options Chain and got confused. Whatever. Going to buy the Weekly too in a bit.
I don't have to fight it, it's fighting itself.
ECB buying Italian bonds now for 30 minutes, why we're seeing the bounce in SPY/ Futures off lows this AM. Yesterday the PPT today the ECB :) Gotta love them.
