LMAO I walk away from the computer for about half hour and it dumps. Good thing I didn't buy today. I woke up late, working 12 hours and not getting home from work until 4 am sucks.

They have expiration days on Monday, Wednesday and Friday's now, so be careful with that. I read on the SPY board that today is x-dividend day for SPY and pay out is in April. I don't know much about that, but I guess it will mess with the option prices today. So I am kinda glad I slept in smile.

I usually buy the same week but on a different days expiration than the day I am buying. Example: If I were buying today, I would buy Monday's expiration. I try to buy closer to the money and I am out the same day. I have gotten burned a few times with SPY, buying and holding overnight. That is my rule to be out same day!!! I usually buy 10 calls. Depending on how much they are.
