I'd love to get into that too....AAPL's one I think is due for a correction, I mean we're sitting $100 points from its earnings gap just weeks ago.

SODA's due for a report tomorrow morning, anyone up for that one?

lol, maybe I should have overtraded yesterday and added SINA calls too....spot on in the research on SINA with expectation of rally from $63 and had a target of $70-$72.

out the long at avg price 15.65, profit on this trade was $624.10. Wish I had put more concentration into getting an AZO position too.....missed out on a great opportunity there too.

Here's where I'm hoping the spread works to my advantage.....closed out the pcln short 630 c at 7.70....looking to close out the long 620 calls now.

I though CVC had solid support at $14. I just checked the numbers and their actual EPS was $0.22 vs. analysts estimate of $0.23. Imagine that, weaker number, but the shares are holding higher by 1% so far in premarket. It almost feels like there are buyers at these level holding the shares up...

If AZO opens at $380, then I'm out. From a previous closing price of $366 to an opening price of $380, assuming I bought a $370/$380 call spread, I'd be out with what ever profit is showing in the account. The only reason I would hold this spread and close the short at $360 is if AZO opens below...

Actually there is a reason. Priceline.com lol. Here's the details: Say I want to risk $600 on PCLN, and as of yesterday's close, I would have to buy the PCLN Mar 630 calls at $6.00 just to get this trade in play. In turn, PCLN would need to trade above $636 for me to make any meaningful profits...

Interesting, a short sale avg price of 630.20? Then again, I'd have to assume you're scalping here and looking for a 5 point drop. But then again, just by reviewing PCLN's price action in previous reports, the low risk short would have been to allow PCLN to open at $630 tomorrow (I think the...

CVC has been a mover the last 2 reports. I'm talking about -16 and -17% losses the trading day after earnings are reported. At $15.60, we're looking at $13.20 to downside and about $19 to upside. Because the shares are at $15.60 instead of $15, that 15 straddle would be more beneficial if the...

closed out esrx this morning at $3.45, didn't even read why the shares decided to gap higher today, just took the opportunity to sell. I still have HLF calls, a total loss on DECK mar 100 calls from last week, and 2 PCLN Mar 2 2012 $620/$630 calls bought at $3.70. I thought PCLN would trade to...

Sorry falcon, I'm trying to give you a better explaination, but its hard. For me, I kind of just see it come.....say something like PCLN today. I have this feeling (of course also have 3-4 years experience in trading PCLN earnings) that PCLN will open soft say +10 points tomorrow morning and...

From my experience in earning trades, expect the unexpected 75% of the time. And most of the time, expect that huge unexpected gap that everyone else is always surprised by lol......it's funny, because I've heard people talk about how much of a surprise it was to see some stock jump 15% on such...

As for today, I like my old pal, Priceline.com.....been friends with PCLN since its current uptrend back in the $50 range, had a nice gap up at $173 to $210, then played a nice one from $244 to $280-$290, and it just keeps going. This one's kind of like AAPL, trading at $500, but the P/E is only...

Looks nice just checked the charts on CTB....wouldn't it have been better with a short term maybe March 15 calls? Just wondering because, I just feel a looming correction coming.

Sure I'll try to explain why the spread has started working nicely for me. I'll give you the trades I took to show for. Starting with NFLX. The cost on the options were up the roof, and at that time, if I had bought say a 100 call on NFLX with NFLX at $93 or so, I would not have made a 100%...

Jumped into those Deck mar 92.5 calls. The other interesting trade today would be CRM....that one's a real mover everytime, I think spreads would serve best though.

Nicely done jeff. Still holding onto HLF and I now have that ESRX position too. Both are up, but not by much, and with so much time left I'll just hold on to them. Add in the possible call on DECK today and I'm starting to get fully loaded.

Take it easy falcon lol....don't over trade right.

Yep, after the market closes. In 2 52.5 calls just now.
