Still waiting for my RIMM flash crash fill at .99
patience.
I get them sometimes, but I've always assumed that I'd get either nothing or pennies from the settlements. Interesting that someone collected something.
Missing Jim Q & his turn dates.
SS ES 40 a few times, R there. Thinking we bust higher sooner or later.
Watched NQ make new high until tick came down under 800, then shorted for + 2
Talked a while with some Paulites handing out lit. Interestingly enough, I thought I was more articulate in making their points.

Bot some last week 2.60, sold 2.75
Back in 2.42 today. Good price methinks.
And holding 14 long term positions in IRAs.
hans
I was expecting a few days of pop before the selloff.
Wild luck today, sold some oil long near 99 and covered some short near 95 on limit... different contracts, boxed.
looking for some volatility.
hans
The pols are saying its a deal, just a few days of formalities to go thru. Mkt up big on this news, will be up bigger each day until prez signs. then, who knows?
Agreed. Futs rocking.
Mkt sinking, congress must be doing nothing.
LNDK, TDA had the shares, I just was a minute late at 114 and a half a pt short. Coulda shorted at 13.50 and covered under 100, but I didn't want to chase it down, it could of run to 150 for all I knew.
hans
LNDK: Many buyers, few sellers.
I saw it print 115, checked puts (huge premium), entered lmt 114 short order, never filled, it was 113.xx by that time and never came back.
hans
Lots of IHUB activity, and the stock is red today. I'm not thrilled yet.
hans
LNKD jumped 14 pts... tried to short at 114, missed.
hans
Careful, when congress straps on their porta-spines and avoids insolvency market may jump up a few days in a relief rally.
ASTM down .12, its not liking the news much. Perhaps drowned out by the recent run-up and macroeconomic non-events.
hans
Wouldn't you agree that while the debt crisis is bad, its not particularly relevant which party is 'responsible' for causing it ?
I admired Zeev, and each 'political' post besmirches his memory.
Metals strong last few weeks over debt. If crisis ends, they should pull back nicely. Longer term, the weakness in the dollar and bad news world wide will push them to new highs.
hans
Metals falling, is there hope of a debt agreement?
metals strong, oil weak (why?), futs wishy washy
More government agencies will solve all our problems.
NFLX is so generous... a .24 discount, if I jump thru the hoop.
Metals should pull back strong, if brief, when they settle the debt thing.
Wacked today, but ran into the close ended up with modest loss.
My cat is shorting conoco phillips... up 10% on a re-org? that produces no value?
And if splitting is good, merging must be bad, yet we have merger mania?
I'm starting to think there is something fishy about the markets.
hans
Futs kind of tanking ah here, sweetness.
How about eliminating IRS, AG, Education, & Ethanol subsidies for starters?
I'm still short LNKD, short 80 call, short 82.5 call, short 85 call, looking for a drop in mid 80s at least before op ex.
hans
Yep, LNDK buyers despite P/E of 1000. My short calls suffering, see if they sell it next week. So far every option trade has worked, long and short, as the stock is volatile and premiums are big.
hans
It may hit my .99 target soon.
Nice run, poor close. I averaged down a third time at .60, just need a few bucks more to extricate at a profit.
hans
IB had some LNDK to borrow, although I had to wait for it. I'm also short calls.
hans
Covered my LNDK put yesterday, now to sell calls...
It's bloated, this move is based on momentum and short covering.
Once the insiders can sell (180 dayas) there will be a nice down move.
hans
Methinks .27 for RIMM is unrealistic, but I'm still hopeful that my .99 bid will fill.
hans
I just looked it up. LNKD has 80 million shares outstanding, and 1 million are short. But wait, only 7 million shares trade openly, the rest are held by insiders. So 1/7 of the shares trading are short.
Insiders can trade 180 days after the IPO. I'd say shorting 140, 160 days after IPO and building a position has some merit. Some people paid 2.xx per share, they are going to take profit and the stock will tank.
hans
For sure, no one buying LNKD based on fundamentals.
LNKD 4 pt, 8 green bar run up, wild.
I'm short a jul 5 put, should cover soon at this rate.
hans
The binocs are for keeping a 'closer' eye on wall street?
Sounds good I could use a LNKD pop. Methinks short squeezes and daytraders contribute heartily to the pops.
Been selling puts and calls, short a put now looking for a few pt pop to cover. Don't want to hold very long. If it runs up far enough, it'll be call selling time again.
