We are sending a missile defense to Guam in response to N Korea reported by CNBC. This could be the catalyst that sends the market into a correction.
Will do, thanks!
BBRY- I'm with you on this one. I have next week's weekly $14 Put options.
You edged me out man, nice pick!
AAPL- I guess the downgrade is good for Apple (up pre-market right now)...link back for article.

Gapper CONN earnings tomorrow morning
Seems to be the case. I'm hoping I wake up tomorrow and see futures down 100+ and Apple down $20 PM :)
AAPL- I held my weekly 410 puts that I bought for .36 last week. I'm crossing my fingers for tomorrow. Best of luck to us if you are still holding as well!
AAPL- I'm tempted to take my Put profits. I don't want greed to burn me but if it keeps tanking tomorrow, it could be very lucrative!
They must have all filled their short position :)
Right! It's definitely not funny if it can impact someone financially. I always say stick to the classics. Salt in the sugar bowl, saran wrap over the toilet bowl, or fake spider on the pillow.
I couldn't agree more! I started to panic when I first saw it, lol! Good thing I read articles entirely before reacting but you're right some investor could have scrambled and bought pre-market today. I do love a good goof though. I almost gave my wife an egg this morning to eat at work and I was going to tell her it was hard-boiled...of course it would not have been. Also, I was going to do the ol' saran wrap over the toilet bowl this morning.
I just saw this on the press releases for AAPL via TDAmeritrade!
Apple to Buy Netflix in All Cash Deal
8:10a ET April 1, 2013 (Benzinga)
Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) is finally silencing the “do something with your cash” crowd. In an all cash deal, Apple confirmed Monday morning that it will purchase rival Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) for $11.76 billion.
The merger is supposed to put to rest licensing issues that has kept the iTunes video library from becoming the cash cow that Apple had hoped. By bringing Netflix to iTunes, Apple will become the largest streaming service of old movies that young people don’t care about on the planet.
9to5mac reported that Appleinsider reported that Digitimes reported that Foxconn will soon leak photos of the clasping mechanism on the new Apple/Netflix DVD case.
In a joint statement, Apple and Netflix said, “We’re excited to bring our two highly volatile stocks together in a venture that should create even more day trading opportunities for people around the world.”
The new division—of course called iFlix—will be ran by ousted Groupon (NASDAQ: GRPN) founder, Andrew Mason.
Happy April Fools Day from all of us at Benzinga!
AAPL- I sure hope so, I bought the 410 weekly puts last week. I'm really hoping more develops with China today or tomorrow. I'm surprised too that CNBC has not been pounding the story into the ground like they normally do. Maybe they want to get their short position first :)
AAPL- This may be old news but just saw this article:
http://finance.yahoo.com/news/fidelity-contrafunds-danoff-cuts-apple-141731565.html
I figured with this North Korea mess that the market would have been down today.
AAPL- I agree. Apple needs China more than China needs Apple. This situation could get ugly. Here is a good article if anyone wants to read up on it:

BBRY- beat eps estimates by .51 but missed on revs. I believe subscriber base down 3 million. stock halted.
RHT- I'm going to watch it in the morning to maybe take a Call position. I need to look through the report too.
That doesn't look that bad at all to warrant an 12% drop right now. Maybe poor guidance...
RHT- tanking on earnings. did they miss on revs or something?
If their earnings are positive, it could cause a massive short squeeze. 30% of the float is short
BBRY- I bought some 11.5 puts for .04 I think this is going to move hard one way or the other. If it trades flat tomorrow, I lose a couple hundo which I can deal with. It will be worth the anticipation :)
I threw a few bucks at them too for fun. Good luck tomorrow.
