Thanks for the list, what about $AMZN...do you know when they report? I am looking it up don't think I missed it.
You may be right but I'm just waiting for a better entry...if it holds over the HOD I may also go long...otherwise looking for 635-640.
I'm looking to get in 650 weekly's on $AAPL also, but looking for a better entry around 635-640.
Yup those worked out well this week....in @.14 out @.70...we did the same thing last week :P
I had the $710 calls a few days ago dumped them for a big hit yesterday. GL!
The best time to get out of a play is when you aren't sure if you should get out of the play.
Prediction = Max Pain pin @ $670 or $695...I hope it dips a ton so I can buy Calls for the Monday morning news.
They have earnings today....bears are betting they miss #'s.
$BBBY at $65.51 (down 4.77%) in after hours trading:

Good call on that one if you played it.
QCOR has 37% of the float being shorts I expect an AH squeeze...keep an eye on it guys I'm playing the bounce with Oct calls.
$MAKO broke $18.30 with good volume.
$MAKO may make its move soon.
I just can't get myself to go on an earnings play yet...still considering it.
Cool just trade the option don't hold it...I know there is an intro to options class and UPB did cover that.
Yes you would lose your money...the option that is out of the money will lose its time value (theta) over time...if you are new you should paper trade first and not use real money...
If you insist on using real money only buy options that have 1 month to expire and only in the money or at the money options...
Otherwise be prepared to have to stomach loses and hoping it turns around for you...you should read the intro on this site and Uranium Pinto Beans just did a really good intro to options class and I think there is a video...I've only been doing this for a short time chose not to follow the intro and lost a couple grand while learning...b/c I am very stubborn and impatient.
If you want to be impatient and stubborn and are willing to burn through a couple grand go ahead...I don't recommend it.
I saw you buy those $520's...I woulda waited until $518 break with good volume but the gains woulda been smaller....you may see Theta burn...I'm down on my $535's...keeping an eye on it.
$ISRG may make another run for now. $MAKO just broke a key resistance point at $18.25 with decent volume watching to see if it can build a good base.
ISRG should get to $520 today if it breaks $518 and its working its way there now.
Hey Slugwrth10
I'm new also so I also have had the same questions, typically when a play is mentioned from what I've seen it is due to the patterns on the chart pointing towards a breakout...occasionally it is news driven.
If you look at $SINA it looks like its been in a downwards trend/channel since 4-20-2011 and on 9-4-2012 when it hit $60 it broke that channel and its now moving up. It's key resistance levels look to be $70 and after that $80. The key support levels look to be $61 and around $55. So if it can break $70 with good volume it could make a nice move higher and confirm the uptrend.
I recommend reading the links they posted in the intro on this site because they have helped me a lot. When I get the ticker I have a routine:
1) I go to freestockcharts.com and look at that stocks last 6 months history to get an idea of what the trend is.
2) I look at google.com/finance and enter the symbol to see if there is any recent news on the stock.
3) Next I go to finance.yahoo.com put in the symbol and then look at the key indicators such as float size, % of the float that is short, 52 week range and insider buying.
I follow a "trust but verify" approach to the tickers mentioned and pick my spots.
Maybe others have a routine they go through and they can add to or offer better sites than the ones I posted.
Hope this helps
Don't regret profit.
Stocks will usually move after earnings the problem is determining which way...AZO is coming out with earnings and so is BBBY...I don't have any opinion on them yet still researching...my gut is to not touch them cause any slight suprpise can send the stock tumbling. See $FRAN.
Expecting a bad earnings report.
I like the chart on $QCOR adding to watchlist may be ready to breakout.
$MANU may be a good one...$BBBY I'm up in the air on that one.
I came from the pennies also...this board has the opportunity to become the biggest board on iHub in my opinion...The P&D players lost their shirts on some of the last plays.
Only stocks I'm holding are $FRAN, $ROST, and $DIS...we'll see how this week goes I'll either lose it all or make decent $$$
Mondays typically suck...
Dang they went from .57 to .02 in nothing flat got out just in time...that is some risky business there...don't recommend people try that w/ a lot of money.
Good call got in at .19 out at .57 on $AAPL 690 weekly puts in 15 minutes...hahaahah
Put $FRAN on your watchlist....it got dumped on amazing earnings...it is something to keep an eye on, I've been mentioning it since $28-$29
$ISRG broke $498 with volume...watching this one now.
no volume at $712 oN $GOOG move...we'll see where it fades to
$GOOG $712 was resistance earlier...if it breaks this spot its going to move...the resistance at $712 is huge....lets see what happens...
watching $GOOG running sideways may be getting ready to move one way or the other keep an eye on it...
I wouldn't buy a put on any bank right now...if you are going to get puts on $GS good luck to you...
Watching to see if $GOOG can break through $710 with volume...
He did the same to $FRAN he's just trying to help out his bear friends...The future CEO already bought about a million dollars worth of shares.
JB I'm in is it 8pm EST?
I can't believe the amount of sale volume going through on $DIS...its like they are trying to keep it at $52.50
Keep an eye on $RGR I've been watching it past few days it looks like $50 is the point it needs to get past for a breakout...no position just watching.
