Calls bet American Airlines will fly: http://finance.yahoo.com/news/calls-bet-american-airlines-fly-094719444.html
American Airlines flew higher yesterday, and the bulls were onboard.
optionMONSTER's Heat Seeker program detected buying in the Weekly 39.50 calls early yesterday, with traders snapping up 5,800 contracts for $0.27. Volume was more than 6 times open interest at the time, which indicated new money being put to work.
Long calls lock in the price where investors can purchase shares, allowing them profit from rallies with limited capital at risk. Their cheap cost can also generate significant leverage on a percentage basis, which happened yesterday because the Weekly 39.50s almost doubled to $0.48 by the closing bell. (See our Education section)
AAL ended the session up 3.6 percent to $38.65. The stock has been trying to hold $38 after the market's recent slide to 10-month lows. The company has fared worse than major competitors Delta Air Lines and United Continental, which both remain positive on a trailing 12-month basis.
Overall option volume was almost triple average amounts in the session, with calls accounting for a bullish 71 percent of the total.
I hope PLUG is working on this, seems a no brainer to be involved with hydrogen stacks that can power a home.

Tesla will introduce a battery for your home during its highly anticipated April 30 event.
In a letter sent to investors and analysts on Tuesday, the electric car company said it will announce a "home battery" and a "very large utility scale battery." Similar products already exist on the market, but Tesla said it will explain why its batteries are better than competitors' solutions at the event. CEO Elon Musk thinks rivals' batteries "suck," according to the note from Jeff Evanson, Tesla's investor relations director.
Tesla (TSLA) shares rose more than 5% Wednesday on the news.
Home batteries power up overnight, when energy companies typically charge less for electricity. Then, they can be turned on during the day to power a home. Though home batteries cost thousands of dollars, many utility companies will offer rebates. [Read more at the link above]
Dam! Scottrade just finally after 1.75 years converted my AAMRQ options. I had bought 7 contracts of the $3.00 calls for like $0.90. I never sold the options, thank god!
Final payout was a 5400% gain.
Not sure who here went through this with me a while back, but seems not selling the options was the way to go.
Not sure what I will do with this money now, I think I need to sell some of it, maybe 25-30% and invest it into something else smart. Not sure what to play with yet as the markets are very high, S&P etc.
Big hello to the longs that held/bought through the bankruptcy! Smart!
Best to all longs!!!
BOS, agree with ya, I feel this should downtrend (VXX) Anyone not agreeing with us?
By the way, if S&P hits the high again of all time and starts creating a double, triple top etc what would be your best trade and symbol if one thinks later on, like 2 weeks to 3 months out that we see another dive on the S&P? Wondering what is a good S&P short with fast movement?
Best Dude!
I'm still holding the $31 Dec 26 VXX Puts
What is everyone's thoughts, seems this should continue to drop here (VXX) oil seems stable, market staying up, less weird news and xmas season coming that should calm things down a bit. Maybe I am all wrong, thoughts everyone?
Also this is very interesting, any thought anyone
Wow I'm lost a bit.
Holding a bunch of VXX Dec. 26, 2014 $31.00 Puts
The VIX dropped 15.53% Today
The VXX dropped 2.96% Today
S&P Skyrocketed to 2061.23 up 2.4%
But my [VXX Dec. 26, 2014 $31.00 Puts] were only up 10.98%
Oil is testing the $55 area
Can someone help me understand why the [VXX Dec. 26, 2014 $31.00 Puts] only rose 10.98%. Not sure what to make of this one and what my plan should be now. lol. Dam. Any info to explain this would be great.
Thanks and good luck to all!
Crazy stuff, looks like FED is on the mark here, jees hard to say what they will do or say, this should get interesting. I am still on my short options Dec 26, 2014 but might get out on a pop and reconsider all. Seems most expect S&P to get worse (go down), but sometimes market moves can be the opposite of avg. sentiment (as they say) right?
Risk on, how do you see this formation taking place (as I type), is the shape in favor of a rise or drop on the VIXX, just curious, like your insight, thanks.
Yah wondering how it's looking since your last post in your opinion.
Ok so where do we see the bounce higher on S&P, we are at 1984.98 now?
I bought the VXX PUTS for Dec 26, 2014 last Friday, made a killing on my last CALLS, out of them.
Now I am expecting a S&P correction back up as it appears ready to do pre market.
Where do you guys think VXX will go today (Monday)? I am wondering if S&P goes up strong all day or tests something then drops again, any ideas anyone? Everyone seems to have many different opinions on where they think the market will go again.
Also, OIL rebounded after a drop.
Wooo, craaaazeee..... but I like it...
Glad I stayed put and researched, holding the 31 Dec 26 calls.
Where ya think this is all headed everyone?
Lol, yes, sleeping, understand. Ok. We'll we are both on the same fence somewhat, good! Best for sure, back at ya!
Stocks and more, hmmm interesting, thanks for the update, I'm staying put, this type of trade moves very fast, I'm in at a bottom of support so going to tough it out lol. Will watch the Jan 31's :), hope ya kill it dude.
Here we go, let's hope so!
I've been reading all the news and studying stock charts, seems really no one has a clue what to expect from the S & P right now.
Yep, Pearl Harbor was all about oil/supply/cutoffs.
Agree Roo5guy, all indexes seem shabby. But the oil drop might screw up the works, throws a ton of people in disarray and US oil companies in a big way, finance markets etc.
Stocksandmore, still this is in a prime spot to POP hard (VXX) I bought a few more right at close on Wed. Dec 26 $31 CALLS. Nie nice pop going right now on VXX, talk people, everyone's thoughts?
I have not been to that burger place but love CO, they have a ton of good rest. here for burgers, the hole in the walls in Sedalia are classic!

Right now it's getting interesting, I loaded 31 Dec 26 calls, still in them, I don;t know what the market holds but everything seems strange to me. Oil dropping can cause another housing type crunch bubble burst due to junk credit getting messy bigtime. Also don;t trust Russia, I think there is a global plot to disrupt oil to screw Russia, they can't make money now as oil cost to sell for them is negative now per barrel.
So many other reasons I don't feel comfy, ebola is also not gone.
S&P as far as I am concerned has tested resistance and seems to be failing, and the markets are HIGH either way you look at them.
I see this as a normal market correction with MANY reasons unexpected happenings can really hit the market and cause a fasdt fast drop and thus more complex volatility then one might expect, also VXX is seeming to bottom up till this moment and it seems smart $ knows something. Not sure what, as they are not allowing the VXX to fall apart technically.
Anyone else has thought here? Those are mine, lol.
Best from the Mile High!
Risk on
When is your time frame for the gap fill, happy thanksgiving!
Risk ON, interesting, I see your point with going higher strike and longer out on expiration date but I was not sure it will pop that hard, but you all are talking about a 40 gap, so that's interesting, I never really considered the gap idea so that's a bonus from my view here in Denver.:)
Sitting tight, a bit of a stomach in my mouth though. lol
LOL StocksAndMore
On TradingView.Com I am watching some posts and agree that the SPX resistance is at 2075-2090. So I think we are still ok, anyone have any more opinions?
I think it just touched one of those levels (SPX 2071.10) so it is quite possible we test it again today before close and then the fun begins, (Drop on SPX)
stocksandmore
Thanks for the follow-up, very much appreciated, everyone keep me posted as i am balls to the wall at this point myself.
Happy Thanksgiving!
I am buying a boat load of Dec 26, 2014 $29-31.00 calls, slowly a few at a time. Where do you all here think this is going, how will this act. Seems we just touched resistance at about SPX 2071.10
Interested in everyone's take here if you expect the SPX to correct (fall).
Talk to me peeps.
Best from Denver!
"We are talking about whether we can collaborate in battery technology or charging stations," Musk was quoted as saying in the interview.

Not happy with management either!
Costco and PLUG Power would make sense.
Costco fuel prices near Denver are almost .25 lower per gallon than any other gas station.
Refuel stations for fuel cells, NO BRAINER and HUGE going forward in this polluted planet, BADLY needed ASAP!
Tesla is about to shake up the electric vehicle landscape again as it prepares to release a pair of new models, but it's actually one of the automaker's older cars that hit the news this week. The company announced that it would provide a battery upgrade to Tesla Roadster owners, giving the electric car a 400-mile driving range.

Spread the news. :)
Yes please share the links people for the C call.
This one has a tendency to move in a big way, Hydrogen is a sector that CAN heat up, I don't listen to what others say, hydrogen is an amazing energy that will be used IMO around the entire globe more and more and more as we see more wars, issues with oil, oil prices being to high, and so many other reasons. PLUG has a massive potential with it's patent portfolio and BIG name clients like BMW and Walmart. I also knew one of the main engineers at BMW, they have been working through hydrogen possibilities for decades. There is something to this all and I think it will surprise time and again... and gain going forward, Hydrogen stocks have massive potential!

Nosebush, agree on Andy, management needs big help still! Time for a new ceo!
(GE ) Loves To Buy Leaders w Patents!
detearing what's up buddy! We know!
Fuel cells not going away ANYTIME soon! Big growth!
Rumbullion baby!
Prepare to dance! New power music just released yesterday (wink), let's get ready to rumble!
SQWAAA - EEEZ!
Unexpected news of any kind freaks out big short positions, I think there will be MUCH more news and developments soon and a big short squeeze, there is no avoiding it, Fuel cells based on hydrogen will not go away and only become a MASSIVE PRIMARY energy source VERY soon, in my (and many many others) educated opinion.
Shorts take precautions buddies!

OPPS CNBC Cramer, said there are "other stocks to buy", he just lost people a FORTUNE, BLDP up 9% in 20 minutes. What a freak - A Zoid.

Converting my first set of PLUG options (June 2014 $1.00 Calls) to stock as we speak. I imagine others are as well. So my orders are buys, woo! I have lots more to hold and convert, going LONG way out to 2016, this and BLDP ARE MEGA Growth stocks! Period! BUY BUY BUY!
~Sherwood Coasts Group
Delete these posts, waste of MY time and not related at all to PLUG.
I'm in since below $2.00, long till 2016 options! Holding tons, many up 30-70% today alone, very nice. Staying long long term.
Much to happen soon, the IRAQ situation is a BIG reason the US Dept of Energy etc needs Hydrogen NOW, and I mean ASAP. I expect huge strides in this sector... LONG term!
