yeah I saw that but impossible to trade because everything is happening outside market hours...unless one likes to GUESS, lol...it doesn't make sense to me...they voted down austerity but now they want to tax themselves..what a bunch of idiots..they deserve what they get...they are slaves to the EU.
futures ripping on greek news I guess...almost impossible to trade this crap.
another epic fade by the market today! NFLX huge call wall at $665, doesn't look like it will hurdle it today.
yes indeed..thanks for sharing....Looks like the premium sellers win today with this sideways theta burn action....hope we get something tomorrow because today stinks....prefer the price action we got Monday through Wednesday...
I hate it when you think you're going to get filthy rich, and THEN they pull the rug out and you end up with squat diddly after everyone on the board congratulates you on a great trade before the market opens. I've seen it happen so many times, to myself included, I guess that's why that old cliché is so appropriate, don't count your chickens before the eggs hatch! nflX TURNED out to be a dud too, so far, unless you bought last night because you knew China would bounce lol...that's the trouble with OTMs, when they don't work the premium gets sucked out fast...been there done that...when it works you look like a boy genius...
Everyone have a great day...one more day in this glorious week!
gl ced! I wish the markets made logical sense, but honestly charts have not been much help lately; of course you can point to them after the fact and say look, I figured it out, but imo if you looked at plcn for example after the last two days, you would "think" it would test $1100 today and it's gapped up to $1130 for example...don't get me wrong, I like charts and follow them but the action lately and the news, etc., etc. have been nutz...you can say good trade but honestly it's more luck than anything right now...a guy that loaded up on calls yesterday looks like a genius today but it could have just as easily gone down in a big way...I think the FED minutes helped buoy things and also the big puts loaded up on put protection early in the week so had to make their money...now they've switched sides...it's all a game for sure...hope you can recover your losses!
that's a good way to go broke imo...hard for retail to fight it imo...been there done that and it's not very fruitful...gl though.
As popeyee used to say, I AM WHAT I AM! It doesn't have to make sense, it doesn't have to be logical because we don't make the rules CED, we are just along for the ride...so we just have to plug our noses and buy and someday we will pinch ourselves and it will all be over! I will be a lover not a fighter today on nflx...the date is almost over...next week we will breakup and I will have to makeup with some of the other momo dogs on the board. gl to you!
haha that's a good one! yes, you will be grouped in with the political prisoners if you sell your stock in China, but in the US of A we just have a exchange glitch to save the rich from losing money lol... it's a free market environment you know, lol.
futures are up a hair because all the problems were resolved overnight JB. China deported all short sellers to Japan and Greece took out a third mortgage and the Fed is planning QE 4 because sequels are doing so well at the box office! haha
huge bounce in China. What are you looking at?
SPY 203.25
something magic happened an hour and 10 minutes after the market opened...doesn't sound like anybody knows what it was? Guess it was the same reason the market tanked and the open lol...PCLN was a beast both ways today...gl to all and a happy new year!
googl, about time for a big upgrade lol...wonder if that's coming soon...everyone else has got a nice upgrade, guess it's time for googl.
what other explanation do you have for this crazy price action? down over 200 point then up almost 100 lol...wars, rumors of wars, Greece b.s., Russia, ISIS, Hilary Clinton....lol pick one or two ...I need more buying power lol!
April Fool's it' Options Expiration today! lol
IMO somebody made a lot of money on YELP put options!
maybe CALL should buy YELP...another wonderful company that crashed and burned lol!
lmao on YELP! what a sheety company! They are absolutely clueless...at least TRIP provides a useful service...
Nice job on TSLA jB!! if it opens around $280 how much do you think your $280 calls will be worth? gl!!
sure was...had I held my 8 PCLN 1142 calls overnight I would shoulda coulda made $19,800 lol... but sadly I did not....boy it hit that $1175 and crapped it's pants... speaking of crap UPB, did I tell you yesterday as I walked into the gym I stepped into a pile of human feces? It turns out a baby had a diaper blowout and just left a pile of poop on the floor...Yes, I should have been looking down but I was in a positive mood and was looking up...I don't know what the moral of the story is but please ladies pick up the poop...I didn't let it ruin my day...I washed my shoe off in the sink at the gym..and some poor soul had to clean up the load of baby poop...then I came home and watched my shoes in the washing machine... never stepped in the real thing before only dog crap...so that is my claim to fame!
Yes sir I did...made $ on pcln calls at open...missed the puts on the reversal...my slow brain overruled my fast thinking brain...and I got some bank off googl $550 puts.... wonder if we get some movement tomorrow or everyone has left town....many times the day before a holiday sucks, but I know we get employment numbers tomorrow so maybe some hope...and it looks like people have quit worrying about Greece until next week? IDK
pcln is nice but they are talking all the fun away, pretty soon we will be trading penny options lol!
Do you guys remember when GOOGL had some balls? before the split...now it has been reduced to a nutless wonder like APPL and soon to be split, NFLX...
JUNO is going to eradicate cancer!
upb what time do ISM and construction reports come out? 30 minutes after open? thanks....
you betcha Pinto...I'm a lion on the loose! No OTMs for me...wish I had taken the 1130s instead of the 1142s though! Have a great day all....
lol PCLN running wild..I'm a fricking genius last two days!
PCLN calls as posted this morning! Got the low of the day on the $1142 calls (5) contracts at $3.90 and (3) more at $4.30; sold (6) at $7.50 holding (2) more with a stop in to see if we go to my next target.
Ok thanks...I didn't know you were still holding plcn puts as I haven't been around much lately...what strike do you have? yesterday was a nice down move.
Hello JB and OM ers!!! been on vacation in Seattle...hope all is well here! Looking at PCLN today...JB do you think this one revisits $1153 today? Looking like it could set up for a higher move back to 1160.90+ I was short the stock yesterday with 1112 puts...looks like a bounce today if Greece doesn't foul things up.
market down over 300 points already...wish I had set up puts for Monday...ouch...no positions but what a drop so far. And who said Greece didn't matter again...?
JB or anyone? why would someone buy 500 NFLX 185 calls? on Friday, basically expiring in two weeks... thanks for any insight on this one.
Dear Fredd...what are we going to do without nflx...I propose a day of mourning, or silence on this board...I am truly going to miss this old girl once it splits, in the same way I missed apple after the 7 to 1; they are taking all the good momo stocks away...we are going to be left with playing "penny options" I'm afraid...Apple has been reduced to a piece of sheeeet and I'm sorry to see nflx go the same route... this one has been my bread and butter for the last few years...it is the single best trading stock out there. I'm tearing up as I write this..my cash cow is gone in two weeks... may she rest in peace or pieces?
Bought 3 NFLX 672 puts for $3.30 average sold for $7.80 average.
JB where do you think the 700 nflx calls will open today with premium decay and this gap up? IF you put in theo price on TOS it shows them pretty high and that doesn't seem right...is there another way to do it on the TOS platform? thanks.
I'm actually looking at calls on nflx today...think it runs higher maybe $700+ but that sounds like craziness...the split must be coming soon.
sounds complicated...I hope it works for you though! and you make bank...I think I will stick to my main plays.
maybe it does..I don' know...I just know what I saw. The whole day was sideways to down for hours and then out of the blue someone dumped tons of apple shares right before the close like 10 minutes or something and the stock dropped about $2.00...guess you will have to be quick if you try it. gl
Ced, I may be mistaken on apple, but I saw that action last quarter but I thought it was something of an anomaly because wasn't that when apple moved to the DOW. The stock basically traded sideways all day...many had called for a move to the upside and I was in some calls but sold them prior to that big drop because the theta was just eating premium...gl if you do it but I think there was something odd about that day....I remember the action clearly though.
