Do you buy only what is available, or can you get exactly what you want. I know there are expiration dates, but what would I buy to protect 1500 shares while still being able to take the up gains, for say 1 month? Thats what I hedged the other day and it ties up all that cash.

I need to learn about how options work. That chart doesnt make any sense to me but I like your results. The lady above mentioned about along put would protect my stock price but are they cheaper than going short the same size stock.? I was short my entire long just the day before, but I...

Oh, yea. All my longs went down to gap. A bummer as I could have made a killing if only I was short. It held up good durring the market sell off, but all it takes is a bad mouth report to freak people out. But hes right, no point in selling now because it buying time while its extra low. I...

Well, it now appears the selloff was triggered by a news release RIMM posted updating their current performance. It said they reaffirm they will have 4Q earnings in line with what they predicted last quarter. They said they are getting over 20% increase in subscribers compared to what it was...

Holly cow, look at them jumping ship! I cant trade till 8am, but its still going down. I'm buying more asap, but its still going down. I normally dont trade in after hours but this is just too sweet. This is the reason folks to never trade using your entire account. You never know when a huge...

Fooy, why take the fun out of it. Everybody should trade naked all the time. And clinical studies have show that trading naked is healthier than trading any other way. :D

Yea, I have no doubts. Bargain hunters just cant resist and I already loaded up for the bounce back up. Buying these selloffs is like taking candy from a baby. :D

Well, after that little route on the zero content bank rescue plan, I have a feeling people are going to have a whole new appreciation for a passed Stimulus plan. ANY stimulus plan. And if it gets burried in gridlock, somebody is going to bend over and light a fart to spark the huge rally to...

Naw, that aint Hogans bottom, that's Shultz's bottom.:D

Dang, lots of different oppinions here. Some i agree some I don't. The way i see it and trade it, we are on the bottom. So I do longs of RIMM with cash, new popular products, and upward momentum and hype. Its a great play that has to be played smart in this volatile environment. But the same...

You must be so bored you got to make trouble out of absolutely nothing. If you got to pick on something, why not go pick your nose. I didn't say anything other than good common sense about how the market is trading most everything these days. The market is on the bottom. Buy the dips and...

Surprise surprise surprise. This is why when trading, keep plenty of cash on the sidelines to allow you to take advantage of opportunities. The President said last night that Geithner was ready with a clear and concise plan to fix the banks. Turns out its clear as mud and he will be making it up...

Well I just bought more for the pull back. :D This thing has got monster earnings comming up. Who do you think is going to be dumping for this pullback? I think you just saw all the pullback your going to get. Hmm, there was another post there I was responding to. It vanished all the...

Comon traders, cut the guy a break. He's new and hes not very good with taxes. But he'll learn and things will get better. :D Anyhoo, that was a fast drop all the sudden. I bought just 500 more when it close to bottom and sold it for a point. Bought 500 more now and we'll see how it goes...

Well, not a bad morning boys and girls. Right at the open bought more NOK at the lows and will wait for it to grow big and strong. Also sold yesterdays RIMM at the open for a tidey gain. But then it came down again, so I bought it back. Then it went up a little further this time and made some...

I dont know a thing about FAS, but a rally floats all boats. And as long as you are just a little patient, pretty much any stock you buy at these levels, even the Auto's, will bounce profitably in the next rally. But do your homework to know if FAS is good quality. If its a stinker, sell in the...

You have to realize that people were buying stocks such as RIMM even when it was $140 and DOW 14,000. They were all anticipating the next leg up of the historic bull run. And it could have happened. But the general masses were unaware that banking was clogging up with junk mortgage backed...

Folks, everybody does it different but I'm only interested in doing the way that makes me rich. First I mostly only trade RIMM because the earnings coming up are going to be huge and most importantly, everybody and their mother is hyping interest in it. Second, I trade all day because I...

Oh in this market environment, definitely take gains regularly. I leave a thousand in for the ride up, wherever it may go. But then I buy daily dips and sell them at daily highs. If I can spot an obvious short like I did Friday, Ill hedge my long with an equal short till the price drops abit. I...

AAPL and RIMM are great because they are among the few companies who work hard to grow profits when everybody else says it cant be done. So while other 100million dollar CEOs head for the vacation hills to wait for better economic times, these few companies hunker down and get the job done. So...
