Stock/option picks, feel free to give me any input on any infor on stocks/options I'm looking at.
I'm an older stock player converted to options. I got out of stock at the end of last yr after the 4 yr run up.
I'm Just playing short term plays I tool a small port of $ to play with to play Options(but not really Good at it I either, I'm up around 400 to 500% from the first of the yr but I leave a lot on the table or hold too long, hard to convert from longer term holds to these fast type movers/or options) I don't know how you guys can find or read these fast mover/gappers
I get my picks from fundamental and longer term charts and break them down to 60 min and 2 hr charts. I it real hard for me to read these as fast as you guys can.
TIA Flip
JASO, Sold half for 1.00 but I did hold half just because it traded over $14.00 this AM in EH
Then on the pulback I bought back the 100contracts for .40 (on the pullback I didn't think it would pull back that much) I sold
for 1.00. not sure that was the smart thing to do, but I feel that way sometime after buying LOL (I Am playing on the houses $ either way?)
but really I feel it gets a run back up in the next day or two, JMO

JASO SWEET %POP real $ Option play as posted
JASO,Now I think it has three upgrades today:
1) JA Solar Holdings Co. (NASDAQ:JASO) was upgraded by Axiom Securities has a $16.00 price target on the stock.
!!! Axiom Securities’ price objective would indicate a potential upside of 51.66% from the company’s current price !!!
2) Analysts at Roth Capital set a “buy” rating and a $15.00 price target on the stock.
3) Analysts at Sidoti set a “buy” rating on the stock
Hi Ham,JASO I was just going to post the info on JASO and tell someone to run it as a Gapper LOL note: it also got two UPgrades today too! I think that bodes well ahead of the ER?
JMO anyway GL I have been holding cheap .10 and under options 100 contracts calls march 12.00

JASO earnings march 17th, I'm holding 200call contracts on the cheap as posted
<<also I did pick up the JASO cheap options at .10 and some I got at .05/.07 fills just playing them going into earnings>>
I will hold them intothe 16th or close to the March 17th earnings.
Note: this stock can make some crazy runs
GRPN Maybe now they will let it move up, that is what I was waiting for, I think they will hold it down for the 11.50 march 7th options Xp out of the money? I might take a bite today?
I like to buy on Fridays for options(it works out better IF they have weekly options for then to pull back to keep them out of the money, then they seem to pop on the next Monday and tue.)
back in AA with March21 12.00 calls at .26 and
April 19 calls at .54
As oted on back post on AA I have a new run setting up for march7th/march 10th
I will be looking for a 1.00 to 1.25 run to 13.15/13.25
JMO's
Also might watch CENX to follow along

Good morning and thanks for feedback.
the volm has been low as it bases at the 8.50 area
I have been watching the pos and neg vol each day/hr from the drop, there has been a lot of buying that has been covered up.
I'm just watching for a move up with volm to show they are going to take or show the shorts they are going to run it back up.
my two to three week target is 10.00 (there is res at 10)but would not suprise me if they run it right back up to the 12.00+ area before the drop. JMO
Flip
GRPN:THEN I see a run up to the 10.00 area over TWO TO THREE weeks JMO again
So,Note I'll be ready to play march 21 and april options on CALLS seeing it might take up to TWO THREE weeks I'll need to get into
the end of March
So will need more then the March 21 calls, maybe march 28 or April 4th's
Note on a longer play for two to three weeks I play the closer $ option like 8.00;'s and 9.00, then as it moves up I sell the 8.00's and bank MY $ and will buy the 8.50's and 9.50 on the weekly as they come up.when a option comes in $2.00 is when I would sell/bank it and roll it up into the next $ I would buy 1/1 of my1st play at the next $ and also play the next out $ or .5$ 2X$
That way you always play most of your next two plays with the houses $ JMO's and take on Option plays
Icon, GRPN: Don't short or buy puts
I spent time tonight on chart and I think we are two to three days for a spike up (maybe around .75) then I feel the shorts will try one more time to pull it back down to this level,
THEN I see a run up to the 10.00 area JMO again
So, I'll be ready to play march 21 and april options on CALLS
AA getting clost to BO, Note IF it breaks 12.20ish Total View /Market Depth has some volm at 12.25 and 12.50

POT thanks, change 1st target to 36.70 off confirmation of ADX spike on 10 min chart JFYI

Three reasons for the move:#1. coverted 750M 10 yr noted <.02%>News last night
#2 Ucraine ports tied up for shippment of postass,
#3 and the posible Embargo on Rusia might tie up shipping postash? JMT on it.
<<POT confirming BO, two targets #1. 36.50 (I might raise later as we go today) #2=37.75ish? JMO
My options in AA and POT have me giddy today LOL>>
Charts, OK thanks will read after market closes,
I like to post what I'm thinking of buying before I buy, just in case someone might see or hear something before I buy or ADD.
sometime I will give my targets because I might get out before I post, damn things move so fast in Options.
Oh and forgive the typos as I type fast while posting and watching the market LOL

JMO
Also working well for me are the CIEN options as noted, the POT options I held and added , also I did pick up the JASO cheap options at .10 and some I got at .05/.07 fills just playing them going into earnings

SD : did you see my post on earnings tonight and the large opeions/March on calls and puts?
SD earnings tonight: big options sitting on call and put side
150,000/250,000 $6.00 and 7.00,8.00 and 9.00's
