No I've had them since before our mini crash. I'm not hoping to get in the money, just the current price up 10%. Then I should see an easy double and get out.
Enterprise Unix, huh? Would I have to pull out my old Fortran books to use that?
In any event, there seems to be a lot of stir and I'm trying to play the momentum. They wouldn't have called this today if it wasn't something that can impact the company, I haven't seen much movement in the options because I don't think anyone knows what they are going to talk about.
Who knows, maybe they'll announce an update on the Iphone sales numbers?
I bought some Oct 35 calls and am hoping for something positive and unexpected. Earnings growth has surpassed expections on the techs and CSCO seems like it's in with the mix. Hoping for a nice pop after the close and a strong open tomorrow.
Watch it go... to Infinity and Beyond!!! Oops, that wasn't Back to the Future.
I believe in this stock, really I do, but there's too much paid hype going on right now. I think they need to let things calm down a bit. I'll get back in when I see a strong $2 print or some substantial PR. IMO.
This may sound like a strange question, but being that I'm holding Sept 650 calls, how will the split affect them?
Didn't they call this the FLUX CAPACITOR in Back To The Future II?
Any perspective on today's report? A lot of speculation says that there will be higher than expected earnings.
There's been a lot of buying over the last couple of days. Do you think this has something to do with the announcement tonight? Was there a leak? Or is the previous profit taking over and we're business as usual?
Questions for Option people. I know we've talked about this before but I wanted to get some help hopefully from all of your expertise. Apple has an announcement tonight and I feel it will have a positive impact on the stock price. If the stock price does go up,will option prices go up or will the value be unaffected because the information has already been released?
In the same respect, CSCO has their earnings (I know this is an apple board, but the question is the same) if their earnings are better than expected, is it better to own the stock or the options for leverage?
Nobody talking? Everyone off the CYPW bandwagon?
Got it thanks. That was my feeling when I saw what was happening today. In fact I put in a sell order at .87 then saw a .89 print and no fill. I called scottrade and they said that eventho I had my order in before the .89 print I was not due a fill because all orders with Pinks are done on a not held basis. That's why I am salty about this whole ordeal. I still think there is opportunity but there's going to be some waiting involved and reenter after it stabilizes.
Ok can someone please clarify for me WTF happend today? I've held this since .0004 of the CTTJ days and today I see mass sell off, so finally I pulled the trigger at .80 for fear of history repeating itself. I think this is an incredible concept and I think there's a lot of potential here but am I being duped again? I want to get back in but hate the games that seemed to be played.
Does anyone know how much was given to the PR companies? Have they sold everything off? Should I expect more dilution? Should I wait to see more stability? What? Should I just jump back in?
What did Zig Ziglar do to you? You mean the motivational speaker?
Not quite sure what you mean by all of that, my position has stayed constant.
Of course but for how much longer? We can't go down any further unless they RS, and I'm tired of being Pawson's ATM
That's what I am asking
There's been a ton of trading with no movement for weeks. WTF? All I need is a .0003 print and i'm out.
So much for their experienced marketing guy. Is this the way they did that multi-million dollar deal in the carribbean?
Has there been any buying in the last 3 days? Or has it all be selling?
And what sucks is that I think a lot of us honestly felt that they were going to be straight up about everything and we had a real chance of this company making it. It's a shame.
So we were victimized by CTTJ and now again by CYPW. Well if they are serious about their engine, they just killed off excitement for their stock. If this goes and prints Sub-dollar, it's going to be hard for them to get back shareholder confidence.
Bearish is an understatement...Looks like an all out pummeling of the stock. What a drop over the last week.
And no info for taking out the floor. Looks like my Sept 300 calls are in the toilet...lol..they were speculation anyways.
What are you seeing in the futures?
I know, thought it just looked strange at the time.
Etrade, Scottrade, and the CBOE EOD site all show it up $.30. So if you're looking at Yahoo Finance, it's wrong. Last price is $1.35 around 2:49pm ET.
Don't know what to say , but I've seen this before they announced earnings, I'm going to wait til this hits 1.65 and dump with a 1.40 gain over 3 weeks. Not a bad return, and way better than the stock or Near the money calls
I think it will tickle $2 again before a plunge. Time to re-evaluate this
I just checked Yahoo and it shows a completely different bid ask and close than Scottrade does. What????
According to Scottrade, the last trade was around the same time that the stock was around $145. However, it traded $1 at the same time the stock was around $147. Decent option volume for an Oct OOTM call.
BIDU is pretty volatile. Its got great movement, alot like RIMM or Google. I think there's going to be some Trading opportunity and LT opp too.
Apple opened up above the previous close and ran for a bit. The Oct 200 calls opened at $1.05 and while it did drop to $1.00 for a daily low, Apple retraced and ended up $2 lower and yet the calls closed at $1.35
Any new take on JBL? I heard they are changing alot internally.
NOt a lot of chatter on this board. BIDU has been crazy volatile.
What doesn't anyone post?
Do we need to find some pumpers for this stock? I'll pay for them. I just want out, can we please go to 2 bid so I can get my $4 after I pay my trading fees?
Seeing this stock on my list of owned stocks makes me feel like it's bringing my others down.
Surprising how few people post on this board. RIMM has been all over the place and nothing to talk about?
Nice to see the Bid Ask for after hours.
Bid $1.01
Ask $1.00
Always nice to see an inverted bid ask. Can I buy 10M and sell 10M all at once? I promise I'll never do it again, just this once.
I hope you don't think I'm beating a dead horse here, but I am trying to figure out what I am missing in option price correlation. Today we had a drop in price down $2 and yet had an increase in price in the Oct 200 calls, up $.30. If the theory about out of the money options calls, then there would either be no movement or there would be downward movement because the IV is at it's equilibrium, correct?
However, another explanation for the gain would have to be the mispricing of the calls in perspective to the current price. Many times I've seen the price of Apple move forward with no movement in the calls, then recede, with no movement, but on the consequent upward move, the option increases. It's almost as if the price comes down to catch the option and bring it up. ( I should have taken Tex's, I think it was tex, opinion and bought more) Yesterday it was at $.95 and today would have been a nice 40% gain.
I agree the out-of-the-money option game is different from the one's in the money, but there's a strategy for everyone. Just wanted your thoughts.
Thanks
Agreed.
So are you saying dump them because $1.05 is overpriced?
October is a long way away. Granted it is way out of the money, but a 200 call with a current price of $145 still seems a bit shallow. I play the out of the money options because of the low entry and higher leverage, but I agree the pricing seems odd. I'm not looking to hit the $200 target, I'm looking to hit near it, within $20-$30 on a stock with this much volatility. That way a .25 call is worth $2.50+. Anyways, that's how I played it and I'm up regardless, but still seems with 3 expirations remaining that the pricing is off.
LOL. It was my greed. I saw the $2.30 print and got greedy. Should have at the very least locked her up at $1.80 It was a great run from $.25 even at this level, it's a nice pick up over 3 weeks or so. Guess we'll see how far she runs...
Thanks. I just felt that being Oct calls there would still be some price power. Thanks again
