I saw you post, I was so concentrated on tryin to scalp aapl, by the time I got over to look at wlt the market was closing. I had this on my radar when it hit bottom a few weeks ago. Boy do I regret not buying this one!
Lol somebody is about to make a lot of money if their call is "right"!
Ready for aapl to bounce off 530, finish at around 540! Friday afternoon payday on apple again!
im a little in the red too. Wrong side of some trades and also selling too soon. If I would have not sold so soon, I could be up 9 or 10k this week. and only using a 1500$ account.
But yes, this stuff is tricky and volatile. Its easy to lose 200 or 300 in 10 minutes.
Practice makes perfect........pinto beans made more money this week then half the country makes in a year, so yes money can be made in options
and the most fun is switching between etrade and optionhouse apps to make orders ;)
Which way are you thinking? I'm not great at reading charts yet.., does the CCI at 86 after the big gap mean a trend down?
You don't have another broker to use L2? Use etrade or TOS for data and charts..., enter your trades on optionhouse.
Maybe he bought 50 contracts!
Assuming u bought 10 contracts....that's just stupid cash right there!! Niceeeee
Lol maybe it's because I'm a AAPL head, but that thing doesn't look better then my iPhone!
If I learned anything from the last time AAPL took a dive. It will get knocked down to around 500 again. From analyzing the chart, it looks like it is being brought down to oversold again, at this rate..., 520/515. Then spike it back up again towards 550. All in my newb opinion.
If it opens red tomorrow, I will pick up some puts.
Why can't this be the next pinkie pumped up to .15???
Very true, I'm in Mexico frequently, and all of my contacts are asking what's my BB pin?? Man I have a iPhone, get whatsapp!! Lol but in a serious note, BB users outnumber iPhone 5 or 6 to 1...( in my experience)
Lol, it has to go one way or the other right?
I wanted to buy apple, but my gut is telling me that it will go down to 530 tomorrow. Still looking for weekly calls
Haha, time to cover!
Man I sold out too fast! I had short FB @ 27.50!, it's killing me, I covered at 28 :(
Huge play! I have the 26 put too but from last week,,,,Im stoked to get my money back there ;)
nflx is oversold bigtime. Hoping for a gap in the morning. IF not...I will bail and take the scratches.
bottom here for the SPY?
Yeah I've been watching this board for 2 months now. Everyone is really chilled out about stuff like that. We are spending a lot of energy trying to do it right, don't have the energy left to pull out the Pennie ante BS! Lol
Let hope ;), I guess it had to find a bottom somewhere around here
It's falling from a cliff. I got some 90wc at .17 when it hit 79 the first time :(
NBG!, I have a fetish for playing with banks in a crisis lol
If it compares at all to the samsung and iPhone 5, it should be able to steal some of the pie. And how many people struggling throug with an old BB will be read to upgrade next year!
Since I don't have much cash in hand right now, I'm thinking about 500-700 bucks worth of march 14$ calls.
Put 500 bucks into think or swim. Use that as you platform on the pc, then use an iPad or second pc for entering orders on optionhouse or another cheap broker.
What's everyone's price idea for February/march ? I live in Europe, and still see many blackberry users. Also, in South America ( Mexico and Argentina in my travels), tons of people rely on the BBM messaging because text messages are not included in the monthly plan. I would assume much on South America is the same. So plenty of companies are probably getting ready to place orders for the new phone.
Is a 25$ price being too optimistic? I myself honestly cannot stand the BB bold!, but I don't really care about what I like on this play, I like profits and this stock it's pretty much sitting in a hole with a huge fan base and a completely new phone and OS coming out
Nice job on the spread this week! I have a question if you don't mind answering, as I'm really intrigued with your spreads. You prefer to write calls (605s in your case), rather then sell your 600 calls for a profit? I assume you bought the 600 calls first (for .35).
Nope.., stopped out of the fade lol :(, maybe another chance in a few minutes
Lets go priceliners, take some profits! Back to 648!
pcln won't break this back down! And I pulled the trigger on 645 puts this time lol!
All the time!
Costco announces a special dividend.., shares up 4% pre market,
The company reported that they will be paying a special dividend of $7 per share which will be paid on December 18 to shareholders of record on December 10. COST will also pay their regular dividend of 27.5 cents per share on November 30 to shareholders of record on November 16.
COST reported that its November revenue increased by 9% to $8.15 billion. Revenue from stores opened in the last year increased by 6%.
There are several companies paying a special dividend this year, as a result of the possibility of investors being obligated to pay higher taxes on dividend income beginning in January. Since 2003, investors have paid a maximun of 15% on their dividend income, but that rate may soon change unless Congress and President Obama reach an agreement on taxes and government spending. If there is no agreement, dividend taxes could reach 43.4%.
Costco shares were up $3.76, or 3.90% during premarket trading Wednesday. The stock is up 15.83% YTD.
The Bottom Line
Shares of Costco (COST) have a 1.14% dividend yield, based on last night’s closing stock price of $96.51. The stock has technical support in the $90-$92 price area. The stock is trading near all-time highs of $103-$104 a share.
Yeah it was, and I Missed it! FB is creeping into the OB.
SINK IT!!
So how high do you think this will get pushed up for people to collect that dividend ?

Las Vegas Sands Unveils Special Dividend of $2.75 a Share
By Nathalie Tadena
Las Vegas Sands Corp.'s (LVS) board has approved a special dividend of $2.75 a share, as the casino operator looks to boost shareholder returns.
Shares jumped 4% to $45.77 after-hours Monday.
The dividend will be paid on Dec. 18 to shareholders of record as of Dec. 10 and will cost the company about $2.26 billion. Las Vegas Sands had about $3.75 billion in cash and cash equivalents as of Sept. 30 and 823.4 million shares outstanding as of Nov. 1.
"What this special dividend really represents is the unique position our company currently enjoys in the hospitality, leisure and gaming industry," said Chairman Sheldon G. Adelson, adding the company will be "very aggressive" in identifying new development opportunities that will help grow its cash flow.
Las Vegas Sands also noted returning capital to shareholders remains a long-term priority. The company recently said it would increase its annual dividend to $1.40 a share beginning in 2013.
Las Vegas Sands, best known in the U.S. for its Italian-themed Venetian resort in Las Vegas, generates most of its revenue from profitable casinos in Macau and Singapore. Earlier this year, the company gained a bigger foothold in Macau--the only place in China where gambling is legal--with the official launch of Sands Cotai Central, its fourth casino in the gambling enclave.
The company earlier this month said its third-quarter profit fell 18% as it reported higher operating expenses, masking growing revenue from its Macau and Las Vegas operations.
Through Monday's close, the stock has climbed 3.3% over the past three months.
