Just read the numbers on GMCR....Q3 guidance is below estimate, it looks like shares are halted, but I'm thinking new 52-week low coming tomorrow?

Crunch time, and looks like WFM's numbers are in.....I see a trade up to $87.50 and that's a new high. And look at Visa, should be a nice payout at $126 too, only if it holds tomorrow morning, I hate those morning swings. I don't even have the numbers yet, but streamer is putting up on both.

LOL, I saw that yesterday, thought the 55 puts at 2.40 right after reopen yesterday afternoon could run a bit....would have been high risk, but the payoff would have looked good today.

Update me on how it turns out tomorrow....I'm starting to see more calls added to the weeklies at this late hour. I think the longs are rushing in, and that's never good for the upside. On the other hand, 4000 puts traded at the weekly 40 strike. I said GMCR may swing 20%, but they are clearly...

GMCR has averaged 20% swings, with the wild card -41% drop....there's no guarantee, but the odds are for another 20% move. No one should be playing this straight calls or puts, has to be spreads of some sort, or butterflies, maybe even condors.

Hmmm, interesting, I see options heavy on calls, short interest is huge at 3rd highest reported by Nasdaq in past 12 months. numbers should stay solid. Avgs 20% swing minimum. Someone going with 1 direction could take the 52.5 at 2.56 with a 7.44 return potential for a 3:1 risk. I'm just going...

I just noticed GMCR is also reporting earnings tonight....it was one of my winners last Q, but probably not enough time to research and set up a trade here. Still, I'm going to do the research and see what I come up with.

Wow, that looked like you were putting in some heavy work there falcon. I would have ended up closing everything and settling it out tomorrow.

Yep, that's what I figured brought down MA and V. I believe V's price point has already included the potential operating expense. Now, as for the surprise, if V holds it steady in EPS and revs, along with everything else showing the same amount or less as MA, then traders should be more likely...

June options on SPX, looks like you've got a 1290-1310 target for SP500 by mid June? That sounds pretty bearish in that time frame. I'd at least see the SPX find some kind of support around 1350 first....there must be some bad econ news coming up within this time frame? I guess we'll see what...

Thanks, and your response are showing up lol....looks fine from my view.

Alright, so I thought I'd be getting a great risk opportunity on Visa this morning especially after the price action in MA on its report. I think Visa is in a much better position than MA, and the nubers on MA were solid. Of course, the shares had to slow down somewhere. As for Visa, the shares...

The market showed topping signs in late March, I started following and trading AAPL short term positions dropped my account from $10000 to $8100. Took out about $6800 from account for family emergency (mom has cancer). Haven't traded since early April, and just logged back on today. I have...

how much higher can AAPL go? Had to sell those puts again and bought 3 aapl mar 23 2012 605 calls at 4.50 just to see how far it can run up again this week. Jeez, is taking a few hundred each time too.

And added 4 orcl mar 23 2012 calls at $1.00.

also went back to add the aapl 575 put at 14.95....all in now, just a matter of how the market turns for the rest of the week.

2 goog 630 puts at 5.44. will add orcl puts too as an earning trade. also got into 2 gs april 125 calls at 4.6

Closed out the AAPL APR 575 puts at $17.10. AAPL opened near $600, and that was enough, dividend and buyback program set into play too. Took the loss there. This morning sure looks like a drop, I'll be looking for 1 GOOG weekly put today. Plus ORCL looks like a good earning candidate, My...

That's true, but I just checked and I don't have credit spread capability yet, just sent the broker an email, hopefully I'll get approved today.

I was about to say that's a lot of trade in your account, but then just read that its paper trade....phew, No way I'd handle all that. As for my real goal, finally got into it. AAPL April 21 2012 $575 put at $21.35 (1 contract $2147.95 total cost). Eventually I want to spread this one too...
