Entreped, good choice~ Follow the board because this board is very, VERY good when it comes to options, all the previous posts are bang on "YOU CAN LOOSE IT ALL WITH OPTIONS" BUT with the right knowledge and TA skills you " CAN MAKE A KILLING TOO-For life", First you must learn before you earn, simply speaking. Glad you decided to paper trade, how long? depends on you, if you understand chart TA and option premium volatility, your on the right track, 1-2 months, most here didn't paper trade(IMO..I know I didn't) going from stocks in my case pinks/OTCBB some B chips to options, haven't traded a Pink/OTCBB since. Link below for simple option trading vocabulary when placing your order to buy/sell when you are ready to trade. Enjoy!!

MoneyArmedInvestors,
Re: Your question, you don't have to exercise the option unless you want to, 95% of options don't get exercised, they basically get sold back into the market with a "Sell to close" instruction if you "Bought to open" this is the most basic for of an option transaction. Also you can sell anytime you want with or without a profit, you don't have to be in the money to do so, be careful because if you are in the money at expirey, you could be automatically exercised by your broker or they may sell your contract(s) for you. Hope this helps.
IMO
BB
Both ends covered puts/calls
lol. I missed the 1.5 AAPL calls too(saw them go by though..lol), Avg down with some 2.95-100 Oct calls. Did you say stay away(lol), everything looked BAD last week,. Nobody knew what the hell was going to happen this week. AAPL looking good, amongst others today IB, as for others, not following now.
IMO
BB
Hopefully LEAPS? Ohtherwise being long in AAPL will do just fine, time is on your side!!!
IMO
BB
Unless your playing fundamentals which we don't know about, the AAPL chart looks VERY Healthy, all indicators are pointing in the right direction, hope you held onto some for tomorrow and wednesday!! Canadian markets were closed today and AAPL was up, watch and see
IMO
BB
Your welcome ace!! Enjoy, if you have any questions, please ask me or any of the fine traders on board!
IMO
BB
Nice AAPL chart, hope the G7 meet was good!
IMO
BB
Sweet Mother of God, no dillution?!?!?!
IMO CMF on the plus side!!
BB
Ace, the first thing is to be approved with your broker and from my experience Etrade.ca is very difficult to trade options especially if you have been trading pennies prior to options,(I don't reccommend them even if you are client like myself), now what I have found to work VERY well is optionsxpress.com, a little more but AWESOME service, realtime options L2 and realtime charting, love them. As for learning the basics, please follow the link below:

gitonwithit, for all of us, I do hope it is unrealistic hitting 6200. But who knows, if the market adjusts so will we, and that will be the norm.
IMO
BB
Thanks kgoodrich, looks nice, thanks for the heads up!!
BB
IMO
Buy calls, Puts are for the negative(lol). If the Dow hits 6200 like you say, GOD HELP US all. It could, but do you think YOUR world would be the same, don't wish for what you have never experienced.(PERIOD)

True Larry, but can it get worse then this from XKEM'S COO(corporate oversight (WORLD)outcast)...!!! GOOD FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.. WASTE OF FLESH THIS, SO CALLED DOCTOR IS( Dr. Roberts SWIFT). I CAN'T SPIT OUT ENOUGH WORDS ABOUT WHAT I THINK OF HIS USELESSNESS with a drug like Nicosan which is helping to save lives, 5-HMF a hopefully soon to be FDA approved drug,..etc(we all know the situation, he is into heavy partying and women, or he would not be so blind, NICE words THAT IS, WITHOUT GETTING BANNED FROM THIS BOARD....YES I am yelling but not at you larry.
BB
IMO
Yep, no sign of dilution..CMF still ++, looks like a short covering with so many shares traded and no PPS spike. Still looking VERY healthy though!! considering, ANYONE TALK ABOUT GETTING RID OF THE dog WHO IS IN CHARGE?? Dr.ROBERT SWIFT
IMO
BB
lol, yep we shall see what next week brings, I hope for all you Americans, good will come of this. I love this bailout Bill!!!
IMo
BB
Well what do ya know: NO DILLUTION, CMF + side, hmmmm
IMO BB
Based on the most recent chart I would have to say down, BUT this chart was looking very nice prior to the MASSIVE sell off this week, hence all the down indicators which all were poised to turn up. My guess is is AAPL will move up in the next couple of weeks based on the slope curve up and the pincher formation of the ADX and PPO, in addition, AAPL options are to expire on the 17th this month, could get wacky. All IMO
BB
Wolf,
I didn't write it, my only concern and reason for posting is the sell off causing the markets to turn red, weather you vote or not vote for Sarah Palin is not my concern.

This is what jumps out at me after reading the email from a friend:
" It is rumored that Soros, along side with Asian and European investors
plan
to sell off a half of TRILLION dollars worth of stocks on the same
day,
making the stock market plummet and the value of the dollar plunge.
This
would be blamed on the Bush Administration, and the Democrats would
easily
win and set the coarse for an imperialistic One World Government.
Could this be why Obama's campaign strategy has been to run against
Bush,
despite the fact that Bush isn't running?
Soros did it to England...Will he do it to the United States of
America? "
IMO

Drifter, I am not sure if the dilution is shown on the chart, because it could be bond holders converting and going to the MM's who are short, and again I am not sure if it is directly filtered to those BUMS, and because of that it might not show on the chart and they could be covering(not sure how precise stockcharts.com is), however I am looking at the chart and it looks positive in terms of buying and available shares. And again looks like Swift is blowing out the negatives once more with his 8K, charts don't lie SWIFTY. Later Drift!
IMO
BB
Drifter, I am not posting that there isn't dilution going on, instead I will let the chart prove that there isn't, if you look at the chart below you will see that the CMF is positive indicating that there is NO dilution going on, also the green volume stick, again indicating ALOT of buying.

Very WELL said Lochute! Bang on.

Imf1264, I agree..SWIFT seems to be trying to pull the wool over us shareholders eyes, and this is my opinion only, I feel he is trying to do everything in his power to take this company down, securing the license for 5-HMF for himself as collatoral was my first indication, some of the topics he brushed off during the CC are another indication... Unfortunately for SWIFT, he is not playing with the regular pinky crowd here as he may think, MANY have invested 10's 100's of thousands of their hard earned dollars, and if he does try to pull something like that, well he will be liable personally after a formal investigation is conducted and brought to a US court, basically another $1000 or more at this point X 100+ shareholders equals a lot of money for a very good law firm to get involved to represent us and get what they(SWIFT, BASU) think belongs to them when it actually belongs to all of us shareholders. Anyways, just a little something that was on my mind lately and if SWIFT reads this board, he should heed the words of some posters on here, ESPECIALLY the ones who don't post but watch. Good night Monti bud!
Again IMO
