Sold my HGG (HHGREGG INC) April 9 Calls @ $1.15 from .84. Post 19106
DEEJ, I believe that puts me @ 7 for 9.
Still holding 2 which will be sold for a loss.
Thanks
Can't hit a home run every trade. Singles & doubles brings in some income & it adds up @ the end of the week.
Thanks
Sold NRG (NRG Energy Inc) March 28 Calls @ 1.30 from 1.14. Post 19226
DEEG, I believe that takes me to 6 out of 8.
Thanks
Send me a box of chocolates! LOL!
Happy Valentine's Day to the young ladies & women who follow this board!
Good Morning SOU!
DEEJ, it comes in cycles. Yours is coming.
Just bought NRG March 28 Calls @ 1.14.
NRG is retesting its 50 day moving average. Let's see if it plows through.
No, just closed the CTRP Feb 40 Calls @ 4.40 which I bought yesterday afternoon for $3.40. Post 19167.
Only one trade & a profit. Should put me @ 5 out of 7.
Let me know if your numbers match mine.
Thanks
Keep the momentum rolling. Nice trades!
My mistake guys. It was Charter that is up now about 8 bucks. Not my intent to misinform. Sorry guys.
Thanks for the kind words DEEJ. In my haste to get out of here & go to the doctor I sold CTRP for a $1.00 gain @ 4.40. The bid right now is $6.50. Could of made a few thousand.
Also, I mentioned that Time Warner was up $6.00. I apologize. It was Charter that is now up $8.22.
Life in the fast lane. Got to slow down a little bit.
Waited for Time Warner & the 20,000 whale. Now we know why.
Time Warner up 9.00 plus right now. Sold too early.
Gave up a few thousand.
I'll take it after a disasterous open. 5.00 on the bid now.
Heading to the doctors office. Take to you guys later.
Damn, 4.90 on the bid now. Sold too soon.
Sold CTRP Feb 40 Calls @ 4.40 from 3.40. Nice comeback.
DEEJ, I believe that takes me to 5/7.
Thanks

OK, rant over. Try to recoup some of my chickens running free in the street.
Strangle would of been worthless. Not enough push to either side.
Oppenheimer has to lay off the pot. Put the bong down!
Guidance for 1Q14 revenue growth of 25-30% was the highest growth guidance in three years.
However, NT outlook will be clouded as CTRP guides 10% non-GAAP margin for 1Q14, a historical low, due to aggressive spending in brand campaign and product development, plus 15-20% hotel coupon costs (though stabilizing).
The Oppenheimer analysts lowered their Buy price target:
Given 2014's dampened margin outlook, we lower our EPS estimate (now -9% y/y) and price target to $50 from $65.
It's trading @ 38.91 dumb ass.
CTRP??? Why is this stock down?
China‘s largest online travel agency Ctrip.com (CTRP) reported better-than-expected fourth-quarter earnings.
Revenue grew 31% to RMB 1.4 billion. Earnings per share was 39 cents, beating the consensus 35 cents.
The sales growth was driven by a surge in booking volume, which bodes well for Ctrip’s long-term positioning as China’s OTA leader. Citi analysts Muzhi Li, Ravi Sarathy and Gregory Zhao have the details:
Booking volume surged – Hotel volume soared 55% YoY and air ticket booking increased 37% YoY. We view the booking volume growth as the key indicator of market share expansion for the long term.
Overseas travel – We estimate that overseas revenues accounted for over 7% of Ctrip’s total revenues, and outbound travel could be the fastest growing segment with the highest margin contribution for Ctrip. In January, Ctrip acquired ToursForFun, an OTA in the US, to tap the North American market.
Good morning SOU!!!! Let's keep rolling!
Sheep means volume. Front load & sheep will follow. Front loaders sell for profit & sheep get screwed. At least traders here think for themselves & trade upon their best judgement.
Sold KSU Feb 115 Calls @ .05. Lotto ticket. Post 18478. Explained my 2 mistakes in previous posts. Never had an option expire worthless on me. Took the .05 for a $300 loss.
DEEJ, I believe that puts me @ 4/6.
Thanks
Speculation play on earnings. Bought CTRP Feb 40 Calls @ 3.40
Need this to pop or will see zero bids tomorrow. All or nothing.
You're on a roll. Nice job!
We could open up our own chat room. Through Yahoo, Google etc. Or sync what you have to what others use. We will lose the peepers of course unless we give them a way to access the chat room on their own. Just thinking out loud.
Good Morning DEEJ & SOU! Looks like weather causing problems.
Knock it off man! I have two losers ready to expire.
But the board is heating up! Exchange those ideas.
Bought HGG April 9 Calls @ .84
Not too comfortable with this. Low liquidity on a day like this.
The trade is still up there. Volume 3000, last price .01
Unfucking real.
Guys! Chech this out! what a rip off!
A trader bought 3,000 April 9 calls while simultaneously selling the April 6 puts. Now, this type of trade (called a risk reversal,) isn’t uncommon at all. What’s interesting is the 6 puts were sold for $0.01. That’s right, they sold puts for one penny. All 3000. Clearly this trader has plans for much more upside in HHG.
Today should prove to be an interesting day, as we’re going to be hearing from Janet Yellen for the first time as head of the FOMC.
The markets are trading as if they’re expecting her to make some dovish comments on her plans as chairwomen, and if that’s the case, I think we’re in for disappointment. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
As I write, GDX is rallying again today, and is now bumping square into its 200 day simple moving average at $25.30. As this is the first test of this MA since December 2012, I fully expect it to hold, and GDX to retreat.
Again, all my humble opinion. Holding it's price @ 25.54
We'll see what happens with Gold Miners after her speech.
Sold my TWX March 65 Calls @ 1.29 from 1.27. Was down $802.
I'll take a $20.00 winner considering the alternative. Post 18516
DEEJ, I believe that puts me @ 4/5.
Two losers on the way. KSU & possibly never make enough to profit on the Strangle on OUTR.
TWX Time Warner finally turned green for me. Huge spread @ March 65 Calls
Does anyone have the site for "SHELL COMPANIES"?
I have a few worthless companies from my penny days (2001) on TRACK DATA & want to find out if they made the Shell listing.
My lotto ticket is running out of time. KSU.
Two mistakes. Bought out of the money & should of extended it to March. Looks like a $300 loss depending on the bid they put out.
GM DEEJ! We all need to get on a roll! Making money is contagious.
Good morning Y U & SOU!!!
I'm sure there will be a shake tomorrow before earnings.
Just might jump on the side that is moving & get out before earnings. 80 Calls down to 4.50. 70 Puts up to 3.10.
Games they play. Money makers will shake this tomorrow to pick up cheap shares & most likely head in the opposite direction.
Just like pennies but on a bigger scale.
Came out @ 1:55 Central. Too rich for my blood now.
