Lets start a thread on BKS
Does Barnes & Noble survive the technology move to paperless books or EBooks?
Insider
I agree I have dropped the ball on this one. I will try to get this one rolling

What you mean Ihub is not full of trust worthy advisors. There are Pump and Dump on every corner, say it isn't so.
They should switch to IPump , IDump, IPUMPNDUMP, ETC
Insider
I am trying to buy BKS LEAP options on the cheap but no luck yet
Insider
I take it you had WEBM at much higher prices like around $15 - $20
Insider
Same here glad I only put up money I was willing to lose. There was a lot of good people that is now totally wiped out by the FLDs.
I do feel for those that lost everything.
I am sure some still believe that a short squeeze is still right around the corner. And for those that think that is true just ask yourself “do you really think that if market makers sold naked shorts at .70 on CDIV that they would not have covered by now. Or are they waiting until .001."
Get real
I have taken my losses to offset gains made in real companies and I have moved on.

I am in

Hey James that is one ugly .0001 stock. Learn from your mistake and stay away from the pennies
Insider
How about CDIV, EIGH and GRNO. How did that work out for any of us. Buy and hold, do not sell , we are going to the moon.

Insider

This book is a must read for all Traders.

Most of the time I will buy Options on Pinchers. There are a few reasons I like Option outside of the nice return on investment.
1. Predefined Risk. Lets say I buy 30 contracts of a $10 stock for .50 a contract. That is a investment of $1500 and I own $30K worth of stock. If the investment does not go my way then I can only lose my $1500 I put up.
2. It helps me control greed. This is a time based product. So if you buy a Call that is a few months out it forces you to make a decision. I find that I do not get emotionally tided to the stock when I own the Option.

SWS Sold my June $5.0 calls for $1.40 today. Purchased for $.55. a nice 255% gain. Here is the post from my buy

Insider
This was a nice suprise, but that can happen when you have calls with 3-6 months of time. I purchased the Option for $.55 and almost sold it for $1.00 a month ago but it only made it too $.95 (Greed got me at that point). the stock then tanked back down to the levels from December. Good earnings yesterday and the rest is history.
Insider
The reason I have not bought this one is that I like Pinchers that have been trading much higher for some period of time. If you llok at RXII it was at $1.70 or so in September and ran up to $4 and now has come back down. I goog example of one I liked was SWS. This stock was trading for $12 -$20 for the last copuple of years and then was ripped all the way down to below $5. Here was my post
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=57734532&txt2find=sws
I am not saying it will not work but it is just not my game. Plus the price is a little low. I have had better results with the ones in the $4 - $15 range.

Rich,
This is my first time hearing about "Option Pain". I will have to keep eye on and I will let you know what I think. Like I said in the other post I will watch a couple Option I own and see if they expire at the Max Pain point this website reports. Go to the site and put in TLB feb options. yesterday it showed $9 and today it is $8 but with the stock at $5 I would be suprised to see it move that high in the next 2 weeks. I will also watch COCO feb calls as it show $4.5 but it is close to $5.
Insider
NXPI I sold my NXPI July 2011 $17.50 Call. I was deep in the money and wanted to take my profits. Bought the calls for $2.10 and sold today for $9.10. A nice $7.00 per contract gain or 433% gain.
This stock was my Technology play and has the NFC chips that will be in all smart phone rolling forward. I think it will go higher but I was not willing to risk these type a gains so i took my profit.

I think the 1 year LEAP option is the way to play this one.
see my previus post
http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=58806307
As I said in the post I thought it might go lower and just started a position, so I will take advantage of these prices and add some more $7.50 Jan 2012 Calls.
I see this getting back to $9.00. It might take 6 months, that is why I am buying the 1 year Option Calls
Insider
Very interesting I will have to watch a few Option I own and see how close it comes.
Not sure how this works for lower volume options or just for stocks like GOOG and AAPL.
Plug in TLB feb 19 2011
It shows that the stock will be at $9.0 by feb 19. With the stock at $5.19 that would be a hell of a return from the current levels

Options are a very powerful way to play the pinchers. Watch our Options board to get started. If you are ever in Phoenix let me know, we can meet and go over our Options strategies

Good plan. sell if you get the quick pop but if it goes lower, buy more as it forms a pich on the daily
Did you buy Options or the stock?
Insider
PPO and RSI are still heading down. Keep an eye on it. I would say it will go lower over the next week. you may get a quick pop as it is forming a pinch on the 15 minute chart.
Insider
What is your time frame and what % are you looking to get out of it. Is this a day trade? swing trade?
Insider
Not at all. My strategy was that DF was a great company and was just beaten down and out of favor. I knew it would turn back up in time so I purchased the 2 year option calls (2013 LEAPS). I was prepared to sit on them for at least a year. But after 2 months I had a double so I sold and took my gains
Insider
let see if CAK will continue tomorrow. I have the stock and options

SVU in a pinch again
