Hey Bronson. Just grabbed 100K at .0038 would like to see a run back up over .01
Damn, nice run on DKAM! Congrats man!
Hey Bronson! Hope you're doing well. I haven't been on the hub much let alone the Snack board...
Currently in NMRX and supposed to get a decent penny play later this week. I'll share with the board if anyone is interested. Haven't been doing too much trading lately though, just focusing on work and school.
E-trade showing some large Bid and Asks today... Wonder if something up?

When will I be able to buy this company as a shell and really get this squeegee business off the ground??? There was soo much potential!
Squeegee fo sheezee!
I think it's a combination of his perpetual buying and the current short interest (20% according to etrade). That was huge volume pouring in near the close and frost only picks up about 30/50k a day usually around the bid. Maybe something brewing for Monday and shorty dosen't want to get caught with his pants down? jmo

Yes, he bought more yesterday. He buys everyday lol

Currently he's holding 136,703,000 shares!

I think so. Here's an interesting article on AAPL too, 320 seems a bit low but I'll be loading around 350 if she gets there.

What's going on here? I was following Li-ion motors a while back.
Should bounce hard! I set my limit buy too high at .32 I guess
I picked up some 50 puts @.59 estimates seem a bit high imo
Anyone watching any earnings plays for this week?
Yep, caught the shots off guard. Perfect time with the overall market sentiment turning bullish on fiscal news :)
Nice start to the new year! ~ LNDC

3 trade ideas in AAPL - Friday close $533
The personality of AAPL has changed quite a bit in the last 2½ months. The stock is currently at $533, down 24% from its September 19 close of $702. During that same period, implied volatility has skyrocketed! Comparing at-the-money calls approximately 30 days from expiration, IV was 24 September 19 and today is currently at 39! Is it time to yell, "Sell Mortimer, Sell!" As in life as well as options, you can't have your cake and eat it too! Implied volatility levels have exploded because the stock has declined and gyrated wildly with much speed. That is the key, implied volatility acts up much more when there is speed, especially on the downside. I think there may be a few opportunities in AAPL options depending on your price and implied volatility outlook over the next month.
Opinion #1: I think AAPL has found a bottom here and the stock will be a little less volatile and more range bound going into the holidays.
Strategy: Iron Condor - Buy 1 January 600 call, and Sell 1 January 570 call, then Buy 1 January 490 put and Sell 1 January 520 put. The total credit is $16.50 ($1650) while the total risk is $13.50 ($1350).
Rationale: If the IV decreases 2 points over the next 16 days, the price range, within 1 standard deviation would be roughly $503-$590. Within this range we could make anywhere from 2% to over 25% on our risk or margin. Outside of this range exit the trade for a small loss or adjust it. I would look to be out of this trade in 14-16 days looking for about 10-12% profit target. If the price moves under $503 or over $590, I would exit and live to play another day.
Opinion #2: I think the stock will rally into January earnings!
Strategy: Bullish Call Butterfly - Buy 1 January 560 call and Sell 2 January 580 calls, then Buy 1 January 600 call. The total debit is $2 ($200). The maximum loss is limited to cost of the butterfly, $200. The profit potential could reach over $1600 if we landed at the short strike of $580 on the January expiration.
Rationale: If I think the stock can rally into earnings, January implied volatility will decrease and this butterfly will really expand. During the life of the butterfly, we can get a very wide profit area. However, as we get towards expiration, it narrows. If the IV decreases even 1 point over the next 20 days, the butterfly can make between 20-70% between $540 and $627, excluding commissions. This is an extremely wide range. My plan would be to hold it no longer than 20 days and look for at least a 30% profit on my initial cost.
Second Strategy for opinion #2: Reverse Calendar - Buy 1 January weekly $535 call that expires on January 4 and sell 1 January $535 call, expiring January 18. The total credit is $5.20. I would only do this in a portfolio margin account, since in a normal Reg. T account the excessive margin requirement makes this trade much less desirable.
Rationale: This is similar to a long straddle in that we would make money if the stock moved away from the short $535 strike in either direction. The difference versus a long straddle is that we would benefit if the implied volatility decreased, which would probably happen on the upside. What we don't want to happen is for the stock to hang around the short strike of $533, since it loses money. The way I would trade this is to take off the trade if it moves $30 in either direction. This is a more advanced speculative strategy and again, I would only trade this in a portfolio margin account.
The suggestion above uses the closing middle price between the Friday bid and ask. Monday, the option prices will be somewhat different due to the time decay over the weekend and any price change.
Yeah I was thinking about doing that butterfly mainly because I didn't understand the other two lol.
Happy holidays to you and your family!
