FOSL doesn't bode well for us put holders, it closed almost at the HOD with buying increasing....Must be one massive short in in there.
MKT gone green ???? That was a quick turn around..
Is FOSL finally running out of steam, Shorters look like they got hammered today.
Just got 8 at .60, hoping we see a dip before close, coupled with the bad news from Greece may see some $$$

What moved FOSL from the 100$ open so quickly ??
Will CAT bounce off that 114.5 ceiling again today ? Its reached it a number of times in the past week, surely its time to fail back to the 110 or smash the resistance ????
Have to hand it to you Jimmy, you know how to pick them..
What was the LNKD gap about today ??
Made a 3 bagger overnight on the SPY puts from yesterday evening and made up my losses from this week. Now just need to make up the losses from the previous two weeks...any good options for next week ??
Anybody buying DMND calls tomorrow ??
MKt up or down tomorrow ??
I see they already made a double for some today, 17-37
wakeup and odin appear to be the only two people that defend the fraudster mel or his fraud company. Considering that no rational person could see any right in what he has done, then they are likely setup by MEL or closely related to Mel. You may get information if you go down that avenue.
Has CAT stopped trading, i dont see any trades the last few minutes ??
CAT stalling at the $114 mark....
LOL your joking right!!!. The stocks trades in the millions because there is so many shares through dilution, Mel had to do that nobody else. I see you joined IHUB just to tell us that Mel is a long suffering CEO, when we all know he is nothing but a two bit fraudster.
Yeah, two big up days in a row for that, sold them Wednesday !! would nearly off had a 10 bagger.
What moved LNKD today, big spike all of a sudden on a flat day. ON mkt up days this week it went down ??
You dont always get a 20% move after earnings,
In spy 131$ puts at .31, for a quick scalp. Resistance at 132.5
big volume spike ???
Managed to sell my 75$ options at 1$, its the only volume on that option (6). Volume appears too low to make worth playing.
Did you sell out of LNKD yesterday with that big drop ?
Crikey, LNKD down 4% now, what happened there ??
How was BIDU able to make such a big move on Friday, when AAPL could barely do the same on surprise massive earnings results ? Should AAPL be avoided for options ?
They appear to be pinning SPY at 131.5
Certainly does look contrived, loos like they are going to make the AAPL options expire worthless. Kinda makes the mkt pointless.
Dam, AAPL didn't even get the market bounce that other stocks got today. Very disappointing.
Every time somebody rings he says the machines are shipping the next month. I think he's just saying it for fun now.
Did anybody manage to get the AAPL 455 calls they went into the .2's which is a quarter of what they were before the stock jump. They could be massive by Friday evening.
What the!! Market rallies AAPL release massive results and its struggling to hold 6% up ???
In appl weeklies 455 for 1.31 average. Now going for 1$.
Thats the same crap he has been emailing for months..
Should be a ten bagger tomorrow for all those that gambled on the $450 calls.
Sanctions dodge: India to pay gold for Iran oil, China may follow
Oil-for-gold: Tehran’s metal shield from sanctions
India has reportedly agreed to pay Tehran in gold for the oil it buys, in a move aimed at protecting Delhi from US-sanctions targeting countries who trade with Iran. China, another buyer of Iranian oil, may follow Delhi’s lead.
The report, by the Israeli-based news website DEBKAfile, states that Iran and India are negotiating backup alternatives with China and Russia, should the US and EU find a way to block the gold payment mechanism.
Delhi’s move is seen as surprising, as earlier India and Iran said they would switch to yen and rupees. China, another major importer of Iranian oil, may follow Delhi’s lead, the report adds.
India and China need to switch from the dollar in bilateral trade, since the US and EU have issued unilateral sanctions against the Iranian oil industry and financial institutions. The sanctions would ban any bank involved in oil trade with Iran from dealing with American and European counterparts.
Both India and China, two major buyers of Iranian oil accounting for 22 and 13 percent of its total export respectively, have refused to join such sanctions. This means they have to establish a reliable way of paying for crude, independently of the parts of the global financial system controlled by New York and London.
Delhi’s current plan is to effect payments through two state-owned banks, India’s UCO Bank and Turkey’s Halk Bankasi, Turkey being another country refusing to join the sanction spree.
The US issued sanctions against Iran in December, aiming to put pressure on the Islamic Republic and make its controversial nuclear program more transparent. The EU joined the initiative on Monday, banning new oil contracts with Iran, but allowing current ones to be fulfilled.
Australia on Tuesday became the latest country to voice plans for such an embargo, although the move would be more symbolic than practical, considering the country’s small share in Iran’s oil export.
Japan and South Korea, two other major buyers of Iranian crude, are in talks with Washington over the issue, although both Seoul and Tokyo are worried that stopping their imports could hurt their economies.
Iran, which is highly dependent on its sales of oil, is reacting to the sanction campaign nervously. Tehran says it will not yield to pressure, and threatens to block the Strait of Hormuz, a key oil tanker route in the Persian Gulf.
German political analyst Christoph R. Horstel told RT that amid the economic crisis the embargo on Iranian oil imports could backfire on the EU, while Iran “will do quite well even under the embargo.”
“All the present faithful customers to Iran oil are set to continue buying this oil, and they will find a way, rest assured,” he said. “This is the signal I get from Tehran.”
“I was personally present when the deputy economics minister of Iran was talking to a foreign society in Berlin,” he added. “And the gentleman said very openly to the shocked audience ‘OK. You don’t want to buy our goods. Well, the Chinese do.”
Loos like i sold just too early.
Out, took my 10% loss.
Hoping to see it bounce off the 131.40 mark for a quick flip this evening..Nothing long term. Will take a quick loss if it breaks resistance.
In SPY puts 130's @.34, so you are almost guaranteed to make money this week if you buy calls.
