Yellen is speaking in a couple of minutes.
So why is the Fed commenting on particular segments of the stock market?
I'm expecting profit taking between this afternoon and tomorrow. Plus it's a small stake.
Got $4.50 weekly puts in $PLUG for .09.
I'm holding calls in the only stock that's down today.
Maybe it's really telling you not to.
I'm trying to liquidate the positions in one account and there's zero volume for these calls so I decided to buy them in another account. Put in a buy order for my ask price as I had the only 2 for sale at 3.90 and ended up buying them at 3.82. Now I can't sell them for 3.80. Go figure.
If you put in an order for the ask price, how do you end up getting a lower price?
Damn. $DDD is ripping right through that 200 dma. My Jan '15 Calls I bought 2 months ago are almost break even now. lol
Maybe they're charting your trades and think you're forming a rounding bottom.
I know your pain. I've had no luck either, man. Well I had some earlier in the week. Last month I bought a $225 call in $TSLA for 2.85 then watched it go down to .25 last Friday. For some reason I kept it and caught some luck on Monday and Tuesday and sold it for 10.20. Everything else has been bad. I decided to just start doing some buy-writes and so far have made $800 with $TWTR, and $P doing that. It's boring though. The only actual calls I still have are $DDD Jan '15 and '16 leaps.
Looks like you got a winner!
Don't you hate it when you have a limit order in and it hits your price and still don't get the sale, and then it goes down?
If you're kicking yourself, you can get out with a slight profit. Then you know they'll crush it and fly up tomorrow and kick yourself even harder. It's almost a can't win situation. lol
If I had calls, it would have crashed.
Good luck, man. I can't win an earnings play for anything so I'm not going to try any more.
I finally would have been right on one of these.
Something is telling me to buy $TWTR puts, but I'm staying out.
Of course I lost yesterday on some $SPY puts because I had a stop on. Got stopped out and then went looking for something to make it back up. If I didn't have that stop on, I would've had a great day yesterday and never bought any $TSLA calls in the first place. I need to start believing in my trades.
I bought some $TSLA $220 calls yesterday for .45 hoping for another big turn around Tuesday, but got tired of waiting and don't want to hold through tomorrow so I sold at .77. It was hanging around .50 most of the day and finally popped a little when I had to take my daughter out and had to use the eOption app to sell it. Had to use a market order because the quotes weren't current. Had contracts so I'm happy.
Remember those $SO calls we had? It's over $46.50 now. lol
Haha. Good strategy. I will use it too. I'm 0-fer on those. The 1 time I was right I was faked out for a loss when I could have held for a huge gain. I hate those guys.
Wow. This market is complete crap. What the heck happened? $TSLA went from $212 to $203 in 30 mins. $NOW beat on the top line, bottom line and raised their guidance for next qtr and now it's down 7%? WTF? That makes no sense.
Every time I've seen $AAPL pop like this on earnings, it's faded the next day.
Big e/r from $AAPL, including 7-1 split. Wow. Now it does something when I don't play it. I took a flyer on $NOW $60 calls for 1.15. Not sure it will make it though. I hope $AAPL picks everything up tomorrow. lol
Guess $TSLA is going to give back everything it gained yesterday. It's the Wall St money stealing operation.
GM, guys.
Got some $TSLA $225 weekly calls at .80. Hoping for a bounce from the early morning. Stochs pretty low on 5/15 min for a scalp.
Damn. $AAPL just went up $5+ in just over an hour.
Just sold these $SPY puts for .52 from .42.
Is Yellen supposed to talk today?
I missed my $AAPL trade. It moved too fast for me.
Bought $SPY 184 puts at .42.
Guess we should have held out for more. .20 more. lol
Of course as soon as I sell it at 3.80, it shoots to 4.60.
Sold my $AAPL puts at 3.80 from 2.75.
Yeah, sold at .50 from .40. Made $100.
Broke 45. Nice.
