    Appl has reached near the bottom..

    I never thought my AAPL 150 NOV PUTs would be worth something. I already wrote them off when they were trading at 5c. Too bad the gain in the puts did not offset the loss in my long term aapl holdings. :(

    i'm in and about break even right now. I was looking at this stock all morning thinking it's a good candidate but waited for the signal before entering. By that time the stock was up a very healthy amount.

    Me too. I'm going to close out all of my short term positions before the FOMC tomorrow. Not even sure if I'm going to enter into any new positions tomorrow until after the decision.

    I missed out on Jade. I blame myself for not paying attention and then by the time I noticed, it was already up 15%. I'm in ARGN and still holding into the conference call. Sold FTK today when it got close to the 10% gain mark. Sold SMSI 5 mins after the open for a 1.91% loss. Sold...

    I saw JSDA jump up too and started nibbling at it with 200 shares. Except I typed it in wrong (was trading options) and I got 2 shares of JSDA. I decided to stay out and closed the position for a net $1 loss. In SMSI from 16.19. Still in FTK from last week. Also in BPHX but not in CRNT...

    Alibaba.com

    If you are an American, you're out of luck. I asked Schwab and they said Americans are forbidden to buy foreign IPOs for 40 days. I also opened a ticket to IB asking them the same question on the 18th. Heard nothing back.

    I bought CMED on the 25th @ 41.58. The time of the execution was 10:12. I got the buy signal around that time but can't remember if I just went with a market order or waited for a fill. I got into FTK today at 09:57. I bought it on the way up and I think I just took the ask price. I...

    No one else got into FTK? I bought it on the way up and now it's hovering around my purchase price. Sold CMED during the intraday dip as it hit my trailing stop. Looks like I sold near the low for the day. Bleh.

    What are the downsides of hiring a prostitute?

    Disease - Yeah yeah. Just wear a raincoat and you can skip the disease part. Robbery - Better than losing 1/2 of your net worth! Damnation - Sorry, can't help you with this one. Arrest - You're obviously doing it wrong if you're worried about this. :D

    MSFT paid $240m for Facebook stake

    To play the devil's advocate, has anyone been on a college campus lately? There's no more asking for numbers. You meet someone and then you look them up on Facebook after you get back. That's it. You get their name and everything else is on Facebook. Everyone, except the social outcasts and...

    I'm still working on my exits as well and this is my first month trading this method. :D For me, I'm looking to bank some profits before taking additional risk. I've seen people sell half and let the rest ride with a trailing stop.
