ok guys thanks for the opinions...googl has almost the same set up huge calls opened at 800 strike and above. Not sure what to do with these two.
AMZN question. I don't want to step on anybody's trades and I don't know who is long or short AMZN, but is it possible that AMZN makes another big breakout today above $700. There's some crazy high call intereest that was added overnight up thre all the way to $730 or do you think people are just selling those calls to collect premium? Thanks...
need help.
thanks JB, not sure why I don't follow through and trust my trades but that's happened alot. It's been a really rough year and it's gotten tougher, just can't seem to get any traction with the health issues and finances and everything else going on. Thanks again. I had some good trades today but not the conviction to make them.
I know I don't have alot of room for error but I had 3 trades planned and didn't execute them. I'm not looking for sympathy but it's been a rough go lately. I posted before but it just keeps getting tougher. My son't mom died a few years ago, then my mom, both of cancer and then a year ago my 19 year old niece. I had two heart surgeries and I'm in shape, it was just out of my control. Then lost my job. And decided to try to trade full time. Did good for awhile but then up and down and risk management issues. Now it's just me and my 17 year old son and we are in a very difficult situation financially. I really made a mess of things.
I had NO idea on your PCLN trade. Just haven't been on the board as much. I haven't even been trading until today. I did a few small trades a week ago and my blew out my small account. How was I supposed to know you had bought puts? I just saw the open interest and the chart looked good for a bounce higher and I'm pretty desperate JB. I've lost my job, we don't have much income and was trying to get a good trade to get out of this mess. I wasn't trying to hurt your trade or anything. I was looking at pcln, amzn and googl calsl is all and I messed it all up. I'm sorry your put trade didn't work out. I haven't even traded PCLN until today,not for a really long time.
I just realized I am the invisible man. That's why nobody responded to my post.
Posted PCLN this morning! But then when I got no response I didn't follow through on my trade. I was going to buy the 1300 calls and didn't do it...so far from $1.35 to $7.70 geez..I can't believe I needed someone to hold my hand on this trade. Then missed my entry on googl.
Any PCLN traders here? I recall there were a few, haven't seen Kraiger as much recently it looks like PCLN might get some higher action. Saw some negative news on booking.com but not sure. thanks
ok gl! I wonder about CMG, sure would like to catch one of those big drops or pops! Seems everyone is bearish now so it will probably pop again..it's a crazy mover.
cmg last time we got to these levels after first ecoli scare it bounce hard...What happens this time? Are you still holding those 210 calls? It's been kind of a disappointing rally thus far but you never know what tomorrow brings.
SPY 208 calls was definitely not it, but thanks for the suggestion. I made a whopping $110 on nflx puts but it was too tight for comfort. The lotto play of the day was the DIS 108 puts, darnit...but who would have thought that would happen with Star Wars coming out. the DIS 108 puts went from .05 to .81! so far...Gl and thanks for giving me your thoughts. PCLN puts also another good one...was looking at buying 1 1300 put and didn't pull the trigger at $2.00 and they went to $9.00! Options Rock IF IF IF you are on the right side right!
spy seems to be dropping like a rock...I show 203.53 now!
cnvegas yes I agree with your strategy; that has "normally" been my strategy but today I got suckered into those 690 amzn calls thinking we'd have some continuation but I was wrong...got in at 1.35 and held down to .57. It was a tough day for me. Now down to a really small account after having built it up from $600 to over $8,000...long sad story that I won't bore you with. But I do agree with your strategy.
Nolerman do you still think spy 208 calls for tomorrow is a good play? I guess they are pretty cheap now at .04. Is that one of your trades for tomorrow? thanks for your help. Wish I'd had pcln puts today!
it doesn't look like it's going to 208 today...maybe tomorrow...I'm not stuck on a lotto, just looking for a good trade. Maybe have to just buy one contract of my regular trades but sometimes on options x we get alot of wash back and forth, not sure...was just looking for a good trade...today it would have been amzn puts for me and I let myself get fooled and bought the break about $682 dangit.
Thanks Nolerman, I don't have any cleared funds right now to buy SOY calls, so I would have to wait until tomorrow to buy something.
Thanks Nolerman! Just have a question on SPY since I don't usually trade it. I saw an earlier post this morning were you advised folks to sell their SPY calls today because of ex-dividend so I'm assuming that's because of the montthly/quarterly expiration, so I'm wondering on the 208 SPY calls you mentioned are you thinking of next week's calls. Thanks!
SOS! Help. Anyone have any great lotto trades for tomorrow? Down to $300 in my trading account so looking for some help. Thanks!
Anyway know why the stock market is rallying? I can't find a good JOB, unless you want to join the service industry were they pay is at the poverty level. This economy is a joke unless you live on Wall Street lol!
NO FED RATE increase? Based on the bounce the last two days are you guys thinking the Fed rate increase will NOT happen tomorrow? It sure looks like the market knows something.
thanks Nolerman! VRX looks like it could run to $120?
GL with NFLX today! What call strikes are you in? I used to love NFLX with the big $ moves and apple as well but since the splits I have kind of stayed away. The bounce yesterday caught my attention though, as well as the opening downside. I could use a move like yesterday. JB's SCTY looked great too, but wondering if I'm too late to the party on that one after all the big moves.
Thanks Nolerman! Looks like it could be a bit of a wild ride again in nflx. I kept thinking it would bounce earlier than it did yesterday but it went right to the Fib level. I haven't traded nflx much since it split, but working with a smaller account now. Thanks again!
Thanks for your input! I guess the hard part for those that are not already in the calls is the entry today. We are getting a small pullback from the early $122 level. I'm just wondering where it will test before it takes off higher again today.
NFLX, what do you think? $125 today.
AMZN huge news: http://www.bidnessetc.com/58129-amazoncom-inc-may-soon-fly-high-with-project-aerosmith/
No much action on the board this morning, guess people made they big bucks yesterday and are celebrating Thanksgiving early. AMZN ready for a nice lift off. gl to all.
AMZN $710+ upgrade restated by Baird. Get your Black Friday specials.
Hello UPB! AMZN looking for a nice big move today! GL
AMZN $700 coming soon. Looks like AMZN will be trading higher tomorrow on that news and into Friday. Huge open calls sitting up there. Catch the rocketship if you can!
Could you elaborate on this? Did you mean you were buying CMG under $500? Thanks!
This has to be the best post of all time:

CMG feels like a shakeout....think. It's green today
I believe you OMARS you are the put king. I sold 10 610 puts today for a nice profit...I got worried why I say NOLERMAN's post about CMG going green EOD and I bailed before the news. Egg on my face now lol!
epic fail on cmg today. Sold my $610 puts at $7.80 from $3.75. Looks like 600 was a magnet after the run up. This is a tough one to figure will all the news swirling around. Have a great weekend all!
Just a few thoughts ad I will bid farwell to this board! Thanks for the memories!
I know what you mean Stutz...googl didn't come close to $580 today like you were thinking, but I did make a small amount on some 565 calls on that bounce this morning...amzn would have been a good short play too. Seems like all the big moves and window dressing on the momos took place yesterday. Have a good weekend.
I've given options my all the last few years and especially this year...had my opportunities that's for sure...most recently with BIDU $172.50 calls...stopped out at .50 on Wedenesday for a nice loss, and it ran to $3.25 the next day (so took a loss on a trade that was worth $6,000+ within 12 hours, lol); just one small example. Anyway, it's time to move on when you (i.e.,ME) is still struggling with risk management). I had a very high success rate on my trades, believe it or not 70%+ but it was the one or two revenge trades that consistently undermined my success. Of course I would never give up because I have a good system, but it's ME and my psychology that is getting in the way. And no more funds to risk at his point and rent and bills to pay.
gl to all on this board...and take care! I wish you guys all the best!
nice Stutz on pcln...I don't have a position, was just wondering about an entry...looking at amzn and googl calls not sure yet...if lnkd gets a bounce I might try for puts ...but it's down to 206 now...was hoping for a $215/217 entry on puts...good luck on pcln and nice hold overnight...
thanks guys for your input...on pcln.
not quite sure on PCLN because it's Friday and many times they hold the big move for Monday, and then we have this +$20 gap up...I know we had a big move last Friday, just a bit cautious here. thanks.
PCLN anyone trading calls today? I'm looking at a $1265/1270 price target today...haven't heard a mention of this one on the board today, so sounds like I'm going it alone...gl all thoughts if you are into pcln.
ced whatever you do don't go to stocktwits...you will become utterly confused...lol, but it's highly entertaining...some are saying $180 and others $250...take your pick.
