Morning House...
Wish I could stay home today. I feel like I could make lots of money playing options today.
FRE is Da Horror right now
I got some puts the other day and could of made $100-$150 but not watching is costing me and not having a sale order out also.
Wondering how Visa is going to be. Keep going down or start heading back up
Thanks...Wish I did it more. I had several chances to flip it but I didn't. Also don't help I cant watch it all the time
Thanks for the charts clay.
Wonder how much RGR is going to keep falling. Maybe should short sale it
This has turned bad the past couple weeks
Can I get a chart for RGR & V? Thanks
Nice page...I've seen ya on the Cancun board and was wondering if ya can do a chart for V & RGR.
Thanks
I see Siri is up today...Sold it this morning for same price I bought. Figured it would go back down like it has been the past few days. 2.00-1.85 range
Yes I did. I have't played much since options either. I bought Siri the other day & sold it today for same price. Wish I never sold it now. Kept seeing it go to 2.00-1.85
thanks...I need some more. I got some thats killing me right now so trying to decide if I need to avg. down or wait
Happy Camp came back today after a little nap earlier.
Sold my GM puts for 125% gain. Bought at .38 & sold at .86
Sold my GM Puts today at .86. Bought at .38. Nice for a 125% gain
Morning Pleasure...Lets make some green today
Morning HOPs
Morning Tina & HOPs
congrats and thanks.
I am opening or trying to open a account at Just2trade.com and see what I think about them. They are pretty cheap and might like the layout better than optionhouse. I opened a account at OH but haven't funded yet. I'm not that big of a fan of there layout. I have ST but the contracts at 1.25 sucks. J2T is 2.5 base with .50 a contract. I know OH would be the best price but the layout is not easy or as for me.
Sold my F put today for 140% profit. I see I could of got a couple more out of it but got scared that it was going to go back up in price.
Sold my F 4.00 Puts today for 140% profit. Wish I would of waited now till .14 or so. Sold at .12. But profit is profit and I'll take it anytime.
One thing about Visa is some places starting to not take there credit cards. They take the debt cards thought. Sam's Club I know don't take the credit or where I live. Someone else don't take it either but can't remember where.
Morning House
I dont really see it breaking .50 when that is all they are going to get bought out for.
I have no idea. I think it might be from the history of the share price from the highest point that it might be at -74 a share. I also think the 5 billion cap would have to be from the shares O/S and price of the stock.
GM needs to keep going down. My 10.00 put looks real good today. Looked like crap yesterday.
I am liking my GM Put again today.
Have a scroll at bottom. Noticed it on another board also.
This could be a reason RGR has dropped back down to 52 week lows again I guess

MacroShares Oil Ends Trading With More Than $1.5B in Assets
Thursday June 26, 10:50 am ET
Significant Investor Demand and Oil Price Volatility Pave Way for Introduction of New Oil Fund Scheduled to Launch in July
MADISON, N.J., June 26, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- MacroMarkets LLC, the pioneer of the next generation of Exchange-Traded Products, announced that yesterday (June 25, 2008) was the final day of trading for MacroShares Oil Up (AMEX:UCR - News) and MacroShares Oil Down (AMEX:DCR - News). The last day of trading marks the culmination of the MacroShares Oil lifecycle; UCR and DCR were launched on November 30, 2006 and concluded in a predetermined termination trigger, which was hit as oil approached record highs.
ADVERTISEMENT
MacroShares Oil is designed to transfer assets between the Up and Down trusts as their NYMEX light sweet crude oil benchmark price moves. When launched, this benchmark oil price was $60. Since the securities transfer assets on a dollar-for-dollar basis, the Up Trust cannot deliver performance of the benchmark oil price beyond $120 (Up Trust's underlying value hits a ceiling once the Down Trust's underlying value is $0.00). With this in mind, MacroShares Oil originally built an early termination event into the security structure once oil prices approached $120. The early termination event occurred on April 16, 2008, when the benchmark oil price closed at or above $111 for the third consecutive business day.
Sam Masucci, President and CEO of MacroMarkets, commented, ``In 18 months, our first MacroShares product went through a complete lifecycle. During that short period of time, the oil market experienced tremendous price appreciation and volatility. UCR and DCR provided a way for investors to take a position in the upward or downward price movement in oil. Over the period MacroShares Oil accumulated more than $1.5 Billion in assets and averaged close to 1 million shares traded per day, indicating significant investor demand and liquidity. We look forward to continuing to fill this type of investor demand for our patented MacroShares products with future offerings.''
On July 3rd, a final distribution payment will be made to the UCR and DCR shareholders of record as of June 30th based on the underlying value of the Up and Down MacroShares Trusts. The underlying value of the trusts will be determined based on the June 25th closing price of the NYMEX light sweet crude oil futures contract for August, plus or minus any interest and expenses accrued in the trust for the period. The final distribution amounts will be announced on June 30, 2008.
The next MacroShares Oil products, MacroShares $100 Oil Up and Down (AMEX:UOY) (AMEX:DOY) are scheduled to begin trading on the American Stock Exchange in July. The structure will be similar to that of the first MacroShares Oil (UCR and DCR) and will allow investors to benefit from either the upward or downward price movement of its benchmark NYMEX light sweet crude oil futures contact. MacroShares $100 Oil will be based on a reference price of $100 for the benchmarked NYMEX light sweet crude oil futures contract, and will cover a range of prices between $0 and $200, with a termination trigger occurring when the benchmarked NYMEX light sweet crude oil price closes at or above $185 for three consecutive business days.
Here ya go. This is what I was talking about in bold.
They have another short and call for oil coming out I see. I will have to look at DCR and see the PR when it is coming out.
GNA has had a nice run for the past 1-2 months.
STKL might be a good one. Be good when the factories open back up I think when that will be will be good news for them and recover some. What has happen to NANX for today & yesterday I know because of the market itself.
SIX might be a good one. Its dropped alot and down to 52 week low today. Earnings coming in July and might be descent due to people not travel as far or much.
RAD would of been nice to buy yesterday for today so far.
lol...I just want to make some money from it and then it can go through the roof.
One thing that makes me think it will be alright is cause earnings is coming up and Hope they are as good or better than expected.
Think 580 calls for goog is good day to buy or wait cause its going to go lower tomm for goog?
DAL & NWA up a littl today right now but not much. I figured they be down today do I bought some puts on DAL....lol Not lost money or made any on it today so far.
