Still no fill on RIMM but it's moving the right way. Dream on.
I like FB, not that I spend money there, but maybe they'll do well on ads like GOOG.
LNKD is useless, I got nagged into joining and almost never voluntarily go there. That's why I've been selling calls.
Time will tell.

It held 2.00 - 2.20 well, could be selling off with market. Good publicity on stem cells keeps coming, eventually someone will bring a wildly successful product to market.
I'm giving it 9 years, IRA's loaded.
Even AMST moved today.
hans
Sounds dilutive. No wonder stock printed 3.50 and went tanko. Not liking my 2.90 entry, should of waited.
hans
QPSA still around? the poster for Y2K inet froth bubble stox.
do they have earnings yet after 7 years?
hans
LNKD likely to kiss 70 strike a few times Friday for op ex, maybe close on it to the penny.
I'm short a Jul 5 put for 10, trying to buy back for a few pts.
so far naked put selling on weakness and naked call selling on pops has worked quite well. Must be a big short position? Surges come every day or two, otherwise steady selling.
hans
Considered RIMM short into earnings... still no fill on my order to buy at .99, based on my dream of a RIMM flash crash to under a dollar.
hans
bought at 10+, more at 8+, lost 90%, averaged down, lost 90%, now bidding .55, if it runs up a few bucks may get out even.
I'm not liking my silver (or oil) much anymore. However, I expect the dollar to soften, and more middle east tension, and so they should run up again some day. Hopefully soon.
hans
You were sure right!
I re-bought at 2.90, terrible entry. I suppose it'll break 3 if I wait long enough.
Hans
Bidding 2.90 to get the shares back, if I get them, may take nickel or dime if offered.
hans
Out trading shares 3.03, bidding 2.50 to get them back, don't expect a fill. Holding my 13 core IRA positions till 2020.
A friend's wife lost most of her vision; they gave her stem cells. Exciting technology, I hope it helps.

During the great crash, there were no bids for the blue chip Singer sewing machines. It had traded at 30 or 40, was falling, and there no bids. Some errand boys pooled their money and bid a dollar for it. They got a fill.
Just in case, I'm putting in a GTC buy on RIMM at .99, although I consider a fill extremely unlikely.
hans
Hmmm I had a dream about RIMM last month, in which it had flash crash and traded under a buck.
Disclaimer: my dreams are a product of my subconscious imagination. Past performance is not indicative of futures results.
Naked LNKD jul 80 call written for 10 this am... covered for 6.60, TD calling it a daytrade geesh.
Strategy: write puts on decline, write calls on advances. Wait for reversal, or wasting. If put the stock, sell calls against it.
Only drawback is a big sustained move up or down. It may run up, but I doubt it will be sustained. Down move seems more likely.
May try the same thing with groupon, read online that they are losing a fortune and doing creative accounting.
hans
Re-established a trading position. Never got my 2.50 entry after that partial trade (accidentally bought 10% of the shares I wanted).
ASTM was strong last weak, and volatile. Added at 2.90 for a scalp. Keeping my 13 other positions for much high, no hurry, in IRAs.
News hasn't been bad recently either, my co-worker at WFC was talking about stem cells.
hans
Couldn't resist, sold a LNDK put last week, covered today for +2.5
Now trying to sell naked call. And buy puts on a big dip.
Sell the volatility, let someone else have their options expire worthless.

Macs don't get so many viruses. Nor Linux.
Windows is a pain to maintain, even for pro's, don't know how the rest of them do it.
Its near lake woebegon.
Leaving banjo at home (great grandmothers, but hardly plays).

I looked at LNKD puts on that spike just now, but the spreads are huge. lose lose proposition. No borrow, and I really should stay away.
Scalping oil spikes, oops, let one get away from me.
I should be packing for bluegrass festival.
hans
Sold last LNKD puts + .90, less than I wanted but just want to extricate.
Too risky buying any more LNDK options, big premium. Better to sell options, although LNKD could go anywhere on a squeeze.
Best to take my ball and go home.
Not a good opening for me, I'm net long ES and silver. Improving though.
hans
CAAS is bloated, or was over 15 or 20. I used to short it. At this price it could be a long, although bad news in china or elsewhere wouldn't help it. Next time it bubbles, consider it wackable.
Was asking 5.50 for LNDK jun 75's, which was the hod but no fill.
Getting wacked on my silver positions YI AGQ HL.
ASTM all over the place lsat few days.
hans
And I thought a touchdown in Minneapolis was unusual.
hans
Yesterday we were up big, the mkt tanked, were down big, and then recovered after hours. crazy day.
Yeah today looks good.
STEM and GERN and AMST not moving yet, no sympathy.
hans
Can you buy Tornado futures, or only Puts and Calls?
Sold some LNDK puts, jun 77 1/2 at 6.70 from 4.
Still holding jun 80s, missed by a a dime, in at 3 asking 5.50
trying to write july 75 for 10 if we droop.
hans
NFLX has a great business... they got me to up my months bill for some streaming. But yahoo reports p/e of 77.77, which doesn't not sound lucky to me.
A great short at xxxx.xx (I'm assuming it wont go over 9999).
hans
I averaged down 13 times. Sold it all once at 40, bought it back on the way down. Flipped a little, but it's not pulling back for me.
It seems to run into the close a lot, considering buying every day during last hour.
hans
Today deserves a rah rah post.
Covered LNDK short put during the morning pop.
Holding 2 sets of puts, one ITM, other other just out. June 77 1/2 and 80 strikes. Looking to lose both if we dip tomorrow.
Then looking to sell ATM puts, premiums are outrageous. Puts could decline even if stock does as they waste.
hans
Kramer vs kramer?
"Call"ed in sick to play with LNKD puts.
That reminds me of my recent dream... RIMM flash crash to under a buck.
hans
sold my SLV 33 june calls, relief, hate holding high premium calls. + 1.4
still long HL AGQ AGQ SLV YI YI YI at various levels and one Short position.
Overall position quite improved last two days. Do we run back to 50? Fail here? fail in 40s? or run to 80?
hans
If you sell 1000 LNDK calls and puts and the world ends do they expire worthless?
I dreamed that RIMM felll from 70s to under a buck in a flash crash of its own.
I had thought I bought some, but in the cold light of day I don't see it in my account.
hans
My cat tells me she will be shorting the heck out linked in as fast as she can borrow. She's reckless, but I'm going to have to look into it myself.
To me they are 3rd rate, I spend close to zero time there.

LinkedIn is lame. I got nagged into joining, rarely go there, dont use it for much of anything, and find their spam annoying.
Senator, you are no facebook.
Just dont quote me if its a netscape in que pasa clothing.
hans
YHOO has lousy products too. Nagware, opt in, spam, lousy filter... I wouldn't use them at all but I'm grandfathered to my email.
