Sorry for your loss. Cancer of any kind is no laughing matter. The pain that you can see through their eyes is horrible. My mother is doing much better now, they caught her lymphoma cancer early enough, but 6 months of chemo was needed. I'm looking forward to finish strong for the rest of the...

Don't worry about falcon, apparently he seems to be the type of person that reads the first and last chapter of a book and judges its cover. I'm not worried about that. If he wants to know he can message me and he would have known that I started with $1700 brought it slow to $2200 before...

True, everyone gets lucky once, in my case, its been 3 lucky times already if you count CHS profits early in the week and playing around with CRM weeklys today. Maybe I have 9 lives and will get hit 9 lucky times. Good laugh of the day it sure was.

Thanks, I was not going to trade those just yet with excess capital too low...just wanted to test and see if my instincts were back on mark. Looking good though.

And just like that I'm locked in with a $173.99 profit in 25 minutes. That's it folks, doubt I have the appetite for anything else today. Safe weekend and more to it next week.

Unbelievable, just jumped right in front of the train and catching it for a ride now. Raised stop loss on this CRM trade to $2.25, I'm getting out with a profit if CRM decides to only close gap and drop back.

Well, playing with fire now. Instead of the puts, I bought 2 crm 145 calls that expire later today at $1.30. Stop loss at $0.50, I'll take about a -$150 loss or so later on if it fails. Otherwise, I want to see if CRM can finish +2-3 points positive today. It'll be interesting and playing with...

Going to try and add a day trade here.....CRM weekly puts and see if I can make a quick profit. CRM tends to move farther in the direction of the open post earnings. I'll follow that trend.

That looked like a nice risk there at $55 each. The market just felt like it was going to punish anything that wasn't perfect. CRM Q3 was set at $0.31-$0.32 against analyst est. of $0.34, and that was all that mattered to the market. It didn't matter that revenue was stronger than...

Yes, a simple long put spread buying 300 put selling 285 puts. Cost me $620 the other day, I put it in as a hedge in case the market decided to drop. It was a pick between PCLN and CMG because both charts are broken. I think I feel my instincts coming back. I didn't go with the ADSK trade...

thanks falcon, it's not easy, but one I finally reach that mark, you'll be the first to know. Going easy for these first few weeks, just glad to take in a nice gain in CHS earning trade and I'll wait and see if CMG can be my "weak market" hedge.

Good thinking.....lol

I know CRM's had a solid earning record with 3 of the past 4 swings being higher by an average of 10%, but with the market in this mood, it could carry into CRM. I'm not even going to play it this time around. My best bet would have been to follow the trend up as I have noticed some strong hold...

Thanks Hurricane, I'll take this good start for now and I'll call it sucess once I reach the $5000 mark. :)

Sorry, not my words on hijacking, just using Dan's words, looked like he's pissed at you. I'm cool, post any ideas you have. I was just going to stick to CRM for the rest of this week, but I kind of like ADSK puts too now. Somehow, it feels like ADSK is pressing to get shot down as it tries...

Oh yea, took some hits on that AAPL trade. I didn't have enough free capital to make a nice run after running down to $800 when I restarted again, so I decided to take some cash off my IRA take the tax hit, and make another run to the end of the year. Much better with the $2250 starting amount...

oops, guess my thread was getting hijacked lol. already posted in the other thread, but looks like Dan is pointing out that the guy is a little out of his game. Still, took in CHS Sep 16 call at $1.40 average total 6 contracts. Also have 1 CMG sep 300/285 spread that I legged into and...

Last I left I had $1200 to trade, and brought that down to $750 only after some long hold in PCLN trade. I made a move from east coast to west coast to be closer to family, so did not really have the time to update. On that news, I did learn the game of golf. It's quite a nice game to play...

My last trade was the PCLN spread on Wednesday of last week. With $128 left after that trade what else was I going to do lol. I believed in that trade so I had to wait it out and take the full loss or get something back. It showed signs of selling off on Tuesday and Wednesday keeping my hopes...

Who's in FB today? I was down to $400, and put $312.99 in the PCLN may 660/650 put spread. I've been holding this one for the past week, so there really were no need for any updates, and even as the options expire today with PCLN clearly below $650, I'm only getting $700 back at market price...
