Zeev's Turnips Patch-No Politics (ZEEV)

[Bill_ban]

SNDK, AAPL looks good, as well as the QLGC calls possibly over the puts too soon to tell. If QLGC moves higher in the next 20 minutes, I buy a long after hours as well to add to the position. By the first morning trading we can get an idea if we power up in any of these 3 and add actual stock to positions. Did the same with INTC and JNPR and that's the way to trade earnings season and not buy and hold through earnings or hold long (they were all down) until one day before the report. NO CHARGE for information and not strangling on a dozen semiconductors. Simple level-headed strategies for a season that is fraught with surprises. (Usually the lower they go before the report, the better chance to move up so it would be the reverse strategy of HOLDING UNTIL ONE DAY BEFORE THE REPORT (i.e. when they power down) and then SELL!!!

I might do the same with AAPL although SNDK is already too high so I expect a good gain on the calls. SNDK the calls should do very well (puts will die but that's fine), AAPL still we have to see. You need always to hedge a put position with a call position with contracts 10, 20 or whatever. Don't listen to those that tell you to buy the entire stock long or load up on August calls and endanger capital. I would have thought anyone who trades more than a year or so would already know that.
