I bought the VIX 40 calls again today for 0.55... now 0.70x0.80... debating on whether or not to sell...
I picked up some CYCC at 1.63 today... anyone else playing this one? I'm thinking I'm going long on it...
wow glad I got impatient and sold yesterday at 2.00
I bought VIX 40 calls the other day... boy are they paying off! Holding them till tomorrow I think...
I took a little hit from it, but I didn't invest too much... options are tricky. I really don't like to hold them for too long, unless the expiration is really far away...
It sounded like he got 1/3 of his money back when he sold in the 0.30-0.50 range... maybe with gains
It was nice while it lasted
Swing and a miss... looks like the markets opening higher
Usually when I buy VIX options, I'm wrong... so you're probably right
When the DOW hit the 200MA on 6/03 and closed below it, the next day it tanked... I'm gambling that it'll go down again since it hit and closed below the 200 MA again today... I only used a little bit of money, but if the VIX were to hit 33 tomorrow, it'll be a 600% increase for my calls...
why can I not learn my lesson... picked up VIX 30.0 calls at 0.50... thinking the market will go down tomorrow... if VIX goes down tomorrow I will probably lose most of the investment... they do expire tomorrow, so gotta be careful
Yep, I knew I'd regret it... no more messing around with the VIX... it's like a casino... the house always wins
I don't know... I'm not putting much into it and I'm keeping an eye on it... I may sell lower than that
I'm probably going to regret it, but I picked up some VIX Jun 35 calls for 0.80... gonna sell them today or tomorrow at the latest
I'm going to wait to see if BP hits 34 or 35, then I will pick up those puts again
I've got my sell order in place for 0.80...
I bought more at 0.63 last night in AH, now sitting with a 0.64 avg
That's why I only bought a little... I'll add more if it goes down there...
You couldn't have known it would tank like this today... it happens too fast sometimes
I actually picked up some shares (not very many) at 0.67
my goodness... is BP in freefall mode or something?
Out at 2.25! I didn't want to get too greedy... I'll probably get back in today at a lower price if I can
Holy smokes, 2.08x2.09! I'm up 40%
BP Jan 20 puts are 1.80x1.89 now :D
It seems like being bearish on BP is too easy... it looks like it's breaking through more supports... thoughts Z?
sweet, they are 1.73x1.75 now
I picked up some BP Jan 20 puts for 1.50... I'm thinking BP is gonna keep going down... thoughts?
Trying to salvage something from those contracts... that's the bad thing about options... unlike stocks, you can lose 100% of your investment...
is that close enough to 16 for a close?
Hopefully it comes to the 16s in the next couple weeks... I certainly didn't anticipate these contracts being 0.05x0.10
That's what I was thinking... were you able to get out of the rest of your Jul 17s?
What are your thoughts on DUK now? Short term
This volatility is making me dizzy
Did you ever pick up Oct 17s?
Sweet... DUK Jul 17's are .15x.20 now... getting those 0.15s Friday may have been a good move
Nice... DUK came back into green territory 16.00 close
The rest of my order filled... 120 contracts at 0.15... now the waiting game...
Decided to pull the trigger... I picked up some 0.15s... there's still plenty of time for this stock to get back up... even if I sold for 0.20, it would be a 33% gain (minus commissions, of course)
Not yet... tied up in other things... I may try to get some 0.15s
I haven't had time to check the market much... swamped at work and trying to plan for my first anniversary :D
I sold my DUK 17 JUL calls around 16.20 for 0.25... took a loss, but I'll probably try to get back in lower
DOW 10,068...
Will the DOW go below 10k this week?
