    Sold the rest of those DAKT calls at $0.80 and have now liquidated all positions into cash. Wow, that DOW is back to the lows of 11,600-11,800. Right back to the starting point of the last small rally. Hope things can turn around as it does look gloomy on the fundamental and technical issues of...

    Closed all of MRVL calls at $0.55, on job report Friday. TTWO was also closed on that Friday at $0.65 for loss. I still believe in 30 DAKT Jul. 20 calls buy avg. of $1.125 Loss on those MRVL calls were ($850). Loss on TTWO calls were ($350). Total loss of ($1200) did put the account in...

    What a day, closed MATK at $2.10 for loss ($1325.90), closed CMTL at $3.40 for $974.10, and closed SFD at $0.30 for ($925.10). Made a big mistake believing SFD could buck the trend. Bought another 20 MRVL July 17.5 calls at $0.55. So I'm holding 2 long term positions: 30 DAKT Jul. 20...

    Sounds good, I thought if NCS could hold above its 200-day ma, it should have some energy to pull high....and I'd be looking at $40, and then possibly $44 for the next 6-8 weeks, we'll see though lol, its all predictions until that time is here. I'm hoping to come out on top tomorrow with...

    Equity option trading

    Yeah, what a surprise, that's why I went light with 5 calls instead of usual 10-15 calls. This one is very tricky, just when you think its down it gives some life. Still pretty surprising, they lowered FH 08 earnings in the last report, and then shoot the other this quarter. NCS was at a...

    Thanks Sorta, Well, the market is off today and it's at an inflection point where calls and puts are at highest risk. I'm going to go light. Bought 5 NCS June 30 puts at $1.60. Earnings are tonight and I think NCS will fall on earnings according to my research. Good luck to all and I will...

    Equity option trading

    Closed OVTI June 15 calls at $1.35 for loss of ($525.90) Closed OVTI June 17.5 calls at $0.10 for loss of ($425.90) Good thing the shares didn't fall too deep, but report was poor, surprisingly poor after 3 great ones the past 3 quarters. So we could see OVTI reverse lower towards $12 after a...

    Ouch, closed those DAKT nearly worthless for a loss of ($625.90). I will hold onto SNDA calls, as the earning report was great with top and bottom line beating estimates, I feel there might have been weak money leaving the table, so I'd like to see the shares back to $34-$35 area by Friday...

    Equity option trading

    Buying light here: SNDA June 35 calls have jumped from early morning of 50 contracts to over 1200 contracts by noon. I like the reversal on SNDA last Q, and momentum higher should continue here with a good chance on strong EPS/revenue report. Bought 8 SNDA June 35 calls here at $1.85. I...
