I know right, it looked like qcom was about to break above 62 and just take off, but I think the slow push out the gate is from the market's weakness. I am seeing red in SP and DIA, qcom might be the few holding nasdaq intact, but it can't hold for long and the entire market doesn't follow...

Thanks, I've always had experience on the stock side with these earning trades, but I am starting to get adjusted nicely into the option side of these trades. Still some stuff to work out like those losses in amzn, goog, and ph. I don't forget my losses at all.

That's true, but I'm not trading any trend trading here. Just quick in and quick out with profits or losses. No need to look back just move forward to next trade. And there's no time to get cocky here, I haven't even reached my target yet. I'll get cocky once I'm up at the top there, but not...

out tsco for loss -275.90, I'm up to $6930 after all this with a few open positions. If QCOM can give me just a few more bucks, I'd like to close out the week at $7000. Still have another $11000 to reach my $18000 goal.

Out MA spread 6.50 for $314 gain and BIIB at 3.05 for $114 gain.

I knew, I knew it. Out of GMCR with my net profit at $1,684.10. This was about 3 times my amzn loss. On my way up now, I'll look to lock in MA spread gains and TSCO isn't doing too bad too. QCOM can wait.

Unbelievable. I was trying to short the gmcr 60 calls at 2.80 or higher, but it just never got to that price so I left the 55 calls alone. Never thought GMCR would hit $65 to close out AH. That's the pay day I have been waiting for from AMZN. I'll take this one to the bank tomorrow.

I have no idea what BIIB did the yesterday, but its report was yesterday morning before market opened and it was trading closer to 115 at that time. Today, I have seen nothing but +120 after the initial swings. I held on waiting for it to break into new highs. I'd love to hold this one out until...

LOL, never go into a trade with hope.....always go into the trade with confidence knowing the odds are on yourside. I need two see some profits in today's trades. The SYNA and BIIB gains can only hold my account at $5400 for so long.

I'm trying to understand what you're trying to do, but I'm not seeing it. Sorry still at the simple level in option trading.

No problem. I looked at both and figured, 0.30 for an extra 2 weeks is worth it. They are moving fairly fast higher too. I did get tsco at 3.20 for the 80 calls, and MA spread at 3.10 with the 365/375 calls. Just 1 contract on the MA position though, $310 exposure is more than enough. That's it...

in 3 qcom feb 18 2012 60 calls. I went with the regular feb expiration because they were only 0.30 more in cost. Plus, my notes tell me qcom moves in direction of its gap after earnings. Plus, positions in syna and biib are starting to skyrocket. SYNA options are above $5, and biib i bought...

As for today, I think I'm going to grab those QCOM weeklys 60 calls. I'm going to sell GMCR 60 calls to create a spread with the 55 calls I bought at $2.80 days ago. I'm hoping GMCR's rally today can alow me to sell the 60s close to $2.80 and get a free play on that trade. Then I'll use the $500...

I was putting my bet on AMZN's history. About 3-4 years ago, AMZN did just that. I think it was a poor Q2 report where AMZN dropped to about $45, then the following Q3 quarter, AMZN surprised to the upside and the stock pushed right through to new 52-week highs. You'll have to go a ways back to...

Through experience, most companies would go through a bad quarter like one AMZN had last Q, then surprisingly pop higher after its next report. The way the shares were trading here at $180-$190, downside pressure was limited to $170 compared to the potential upside of $230-$240. I was just...

The chart looks like it is setting up for a bearish trade, but I've got nothing on RCL, I traded CCL like once about 3 years ago, so I'm inexperienced in the cruise ship sector.

Well, something like AMZN today is one of those reason I try not to get too deep into the money. I mean my spread will be close to $0, but at a small cost to me, imagine those traders who took AMZN Feb 18 2012 $175 call at $23.90. That's $2,390 for 1 contract. First of all, 2390 would put me...

Thanks, I came out blazing to see how it would feel on some heavy losses and heavy winners....Trading stocks, when you take a $1000 gain, it's only an 8-9% gain, so not much to gloat about. So far here in options, I've seen -100% losses, and 200% gains per trade. That drop in my account from...

lol, the bid's showing 0.01, about $2 in premium left for my position, I'll ought to give my broker another $5 just to put that out of its misery.

Been struggling with this trade all day....I was thinking about setting up an iron condor again on AMZN like the one I had on NFLX....but AMZN's just not a mover like NFLX. It's no 15% pop. AMZN is more like a guaranteed 7-8% swinger. I'm just going to go with calls....Looks to me like...
