Premarket shakerz and moverz
So heres the deal. Reply to this post with a list of puts/calls plays for the day that you think are primed and ready to take off - in one direction or another.
With the goal being we get a lot of different ideas circulating about a lot of different plays and we can all find new ways to try and make even more money.
Yeah, but thats still 18 days away. IMO theres still room for downward correction. Its already overvalued and the most recent news was fairly underwhelming. Im not confident the run up on news for the 20th will be anywhere near as explosive as this last one.
Nice

Guess I better start chewing on holding over the weekend.
I've been boofed one too many times this week by holding something too long.
Im sitting on some $100 puts.
If it doesnt fall through 100 support then it appears the market doesnt have a lick of common sense.
No news until the 20th. Everything so far has been forward looking and underwhelming.
And now its being pushed/pumped an incredible amount by CNBC.
I'm thinking TSLA be hosed.
No more news until the 20th,
and that interview today was pretty underwhelming.
Option prices for TSLA are all over the place this morning though. Lots of slack.
Looking forward to the announcement at 130
I think I read that the hyperloop is going to be expanded upon on the 20th.
IMO, they need to make the superchargers work faster than 30 minutes for half a charge.
Interesting news. Supercharger infrastructure to grow three-fold by the end of june and nationwide by the end of 2013.
Will be interesting to see what effect this has tomorrow. I'm torn.
Lots of open interest for those 120C.
Not currently reflected in the stock price, but it will be interesting to see if Musk pulls a rabbit out of his hat.
*Correction* - Less bold.
Just read about D11 Conference.
Picked up some 115 calls just in case theres an unveiling
Bold
Usually if futures tank the market sentiment carries over and implodes the regular market as well.
So they do matter. As do rising interest rates.
IMO just watching the chat room is great way to pick out a top/bottom play. There are many very astute traders on this board who post some explosive picks on the hour.
S&P futures not doing so hot overnight, bond yields rising rapidly as well.
Agreed. But calling the top is going to be difficult, and possibly costly.
Irrational - lol. Putting it mildly
VIX is UP, Market is UP, dollar is UP, Interest rates are UP, Oil is UP.
Something if not everything is being artificially held up by who knows what. Eventually its going to implode. I just hope its during the next two weeks.
If SPY breaks 167.50ish I might have to reconsider my appraisal. But I think we're overdue for a healthy pullback. But you're right, its just a waiting game at this point.
10 year is up to 2.13% from 1.6% at the beginning of the month.
Up 6% today alone.
Agreed. Eventually this will get ugly.
On another note, someone just microsecond filled the gap....
I just dont see how it can continue to rise with whats going on with QE and interest rates on the rise.
Looks to have a small resistance developing and bearish candlesticks.
Guess we'll have to wait and see.
Just broke LOD
Just hit 166.02.
Looking like a shooting star candle today.
duh duh duhhhhhhh
I certainly hope so, just picked up some puts
I don't see a gap to be filled to 160, but it does appear to be a minor support level.
Honestly, TA seems to have gone out the window lately with the announcement of the elimination of QE in the semi-near future. Its been much too easy to get burned on TA with whats been going on fundamentally - market has been all over the place.
I opted for June puts - so the fluctuations arent as brutal lol.
Also playing this one.
Not sure if itll break the support at 218-219 but if it does those should be golden
Good luck with that one. Unless Mr. B decides to switch of the QE tomorrow I'm not ready to tango with that never ending staircase just yet.
My guess,
It gapped up on weak news, then fell on technical and fundamental selling.
News was okay, sales of soup appears to be up - but sales of juice is down and sales to restaurants is down.
Gross margin fell over 3%.
Sounds like they tried to put a good spin on it, but the news reads lukewarm to me at best.
I think I'm done with SLV, but I may try to get some GLD puts when it tops out. Watching TSLA at the moment as well.
TSLA looking like it might be ready for a pull back.
Volume slowing, looking a little top heavy.
IMO market cap seems to high at this level.
What after hours quote are you looking at...
Lucky for me I whimped out.
Sold my CAT's for a moderate loss on friday and sold my SLV's to offset the loss.
UNFORTUNATELY I had to go to work early this morning and was not able to follow through on my BIDU call from yesterday.
Ironic when I could have made more money staying at home.
I still think gold is on its way down the toilet. Not sure what backed todays change in pace other than a technical dead cat bounce.
On another note, TSLA puts anyone?
Anyone think BIDU will walk its way up to $100 by June?
This is just IMO, since I also have just recently started trading options - at least with real money.
I traded virtual options for a year or so on and off first, and that experience made me realize how hard it is to make money trading with a couple of hundred dollars. So I saved up and waited.
With just a couple of hundred dollars I would think commissions alone would eat away an most of the profits.
Lol.
I should have sold this morning for a small loss. Instead I'll probably hold over the weekend to see if I can recoup my losses.
Still think its going to go down. I actually cant really explain the upward moment other than too many down days in a row and that Press Release which was hardly good news.
Mine are blowing up at the moment.
Trying to decide if I should grit my teeth and wait or bail out. I hate holding over the weekends.
