I think AMTD is going to breakout this week. There has been heavy institutional purchasing, and none of the institutions have recently sold their shares. With earnings coming out the 24th with record expecations, I'm thinking that AMTD will go up in anticipation of earnings.

Now that I'm looking at ATW (with the current P/E) it is somewhat expensive. However I would never bet against a growing company in an industry in bull mode. In fact I wouldn't bet against any company in a bull industry in a bull market. You'd pretty much be betting for a pullback, and that...

I'm actually VERY bullish on ATW right now. The drillers are in a bull market AND ATW is undervalued and still growing. I suggest you go long and make up for what you've lost through your shorts. Here're some numbers: P/E 9.08 Earnings Growth Rate 27% Earnings Estimate for Current Year...

Well tomorrow is the March Options expiration date. You are right that it requires a large amount of capital. However, if in the money options are not exercised, the options become worthless and the people holding the options lose the premium that they paid.

Alright, since I'm a newbie to the street in general I need to ask questions so that I can grow in my understanding. I hope that someone will be kind enough to answer my questions. If there are 6 times as many in the money calls as puts being exercised, wouldn't it have the same effect as 6...

I guess I should've worded my question better. So here's the revised question: If there are 2500 puts and 15000 calls that are considered "exercisable" on a $100 stock, approximately what percentage would it move up or down? And generally what time do those options get executed?

So tomorrow is expiration day and I'm an options newbie. How significant is the price change when a stock that has 6 times more exercisable* calls than puts? *-by exercisable options I mean calls under market price and puts over market price.

I wouldn't short this stock. Of course I'm writing this after they came out with earnings...but yeah =)

I concur :D I would love to hear his reaction on the radio.

I could just sit here and list all the right calls that you made, but that would be pointless since people could see for themselves in your portfolio =). I refrained from pulling the trigger on TAP because the Vector numbers were pretty bad. I realize that Vector is not the only authority, but...
