I hear ya, options have been better for me as well.

Try setting a strict 20% stop loss playing 300-400 dollars per position.
You can make some good money that way.

Whats up Boxden!

Options seem to be the way to go man.
Word of advice, I suggest you go with a cheap contract broker such as Optionhouse or Tradeking.
I use Tradeking and it works fine for execution. All my charting is separate however.

Thought it reversed its trend today but i guess not,
stopped out at 1.55, no harm done

Picked up a couple AAPL 565 WC @ 1.6

Let's ride the lighting

Ive got the same mindset as you here.

Made a ton picking up AAPL calls once it gets destroyed and enjoying the ride back up in the past and hopefully do the same here.

Anyone gonna try and play find the bottom on AAPL?

I just got stopped out of my puts this afternoon.
I think you would be safe to not worry about Christmas numbers until later in the month. JMO

I hear you, I'll probably cash out most at 43-44 and let the rest ride off into the sunset.
Seems to be the best way for me to trade.
Especially with SODA and the damn short brigade that seems to haunt that stock.

Looking for it to test that 44 level soon?
Im holding those 45s ss well

Quite unfortunate what happened here. Still holding.
I think the company sits on a good foundation.

I think I'll be jumping in on those GOOG and AMZN positions if they pop up tomorrow AM.

perfect charts for a little drop

I second this notion. Plus I had issues with IHUB's level 2 service.
Not very reliable

If you have TDA, you can use quotetracker which is free for users and it gives real time L2.

If you hang around, I think the 4.00s will be here soon!

Its funny to look back at when I first covered GTGP....
Look at the date, she was trading at .04 then....hahaha.
Wish I wouldve put everything I had into it then lol.

Those are moving averages.
Look up on investopedia if you are still unclear

I love how this forum has no relevance on the stock anymore. We traded close to $500,000 dollars Friday. That's not ihub money.
What we say here doesn't matter.

The 665 puts I had seemed to hold pretty well. I saw it was bad on the 670s though

Looks like our magical 670 level is the decider....
Ive been trading it as such

CRM looking tippy here at these levels.
I'm watching for a fade opportunity into Sept.

AAPL. Any idea when the patent trial verdict will be out?
I don't see too much upside if AAPL wins but if they lose some aspects of the trial, we may have a drop back to 650 ish Imo.

I'm still holding Oct 710 calls but picked up some 660 puts at close today.

Well then I think we are on the right track, even though I wish it would run to 750 by october so I can cash out my oct 710s :)

This run has pushed my account into another level, I can now start to trade how I want to.

I think aapl pulls back around the 670 range short term. Just a hunch.

Thanks man! Lets keep it going

7/25
I think it was right when it dropped to 580 after the ER.

Im up approximately 350% on the Octs

Out of AAPL SEPT 670s @ 17.7 from 1.4

Still holding October 710s

Buying Sept and Oct calls has since doubled the entire value of my account as it sits right now.

Get off this board.

Judging by your username, you may be a tad biased.

Yep, I bought these during that drop after their last ER. I sold some of my SEPT 670 for 7.2 from 2.5 and picked up a small 635 WP to hedge the rest of my holdings.

I'm loaded up with Sept 670s and OCT 710s from 2.5 and 1.7
Selling some of the Sept soon and letting the rest ride

Any opinions on this 640 R for AAPL?

It looks like the next stop but can AAPL blow by it after a quick pit stop is the question.

I cannot comment on that haha. I tried it with the RPMs but that wasn't such a good idea ahahaha

It was magical, I noticed when it was at 88887!

Took a trip this weekend....
Look at the odometer....And disregard the speed.

haha yea it was just a joke. I saw him there and thought it was funny. Those dollars look thin though

He's showing up on mine at $2000 on the ask.
Haha, those are some lofty expectations even for this company!

Looks like VFIN has the right idea....

Hit the $8.88s when they come up next week.

Probably sooner rather than later too.
WOW, this could be VERY interesting VERY soon!
