Nice move by APOL! I shall be back next week! :cool: It's not ill-luck when an option trade losses money, but it becomes a luck when profits are posted.

Thanks for the PM. It's appreciated! Account is down by about 7%, I can cope with that.......will watch PD and CME. My new entry & exit for short term are okay; I was impatient as highlighted in the quotes.

I'm out! Sold at 1.65 for a loss of $1,750 Any willing trader can take the other side of my next trade. My entry was too early. Will re-enter APOL.

PD and several other stocks are on my radar.

I bought 35 contracts of .OAQAL APOL JAN 60 Call Premium: $2.15 I will re-evaluate position if/when stock drops to 60 Will update! Edit: I bought 35 contracts!

I got stopped out at 2.15. - $5,200 I will post new trades tomorrow.

I bought: 10 contracts of Jan AET 95 Put @$2.75 70 contracts of Jan AET 95 Put @ $2.80 Option's symbol - .AAFMS I will re-evaluate the position if stock trends back to 94.00. Will update!

No! I bailed out at 1.80 when a shift in direction occured on my chart. My focus is on exit point if/when trade goes wrong before injecting $100K in January. Experiment is panning out well.

Iceman1, thanks....you are right on the VLO. A drop to 48 is likely. How are you handling the straddle? Weekly chart supports your sentiment. I bailed out at 1.80. Looking at ACL and TLT.

Does iceman come across as someone who can't decide for himself?

Thanks Iceman for that nuggets of wisdom. After capturing bearish moves in BOL, KOSP and other stocks, I think I'm now ready to inject 100K to the market. Goal for 2006 is $1.2M.

Why is it difficult to wait for the market to meet the trader's criteria? Is it greed or what?

Most likely! I'm not seeking maximum returns.

VLO Credit Spread. BTO: Jan 52.50 Put STO: Jan 55 Put Credit: 1.30 # contracts: 10 I will update!

Thanks for the suggestion. My goal for this year is much more than 100K but I will see how far 11.5K will go in 2006. I'm also planning to start a stock trading project with 20K to compare results with options acocunt.

Novel20, I am still here and reading. I am not trading at the moment.....will post as new trades are initiated.

Here again! Today: I got some contracts of AFL Feb06 50 Put @$3.60/contract. Will re-evaluate the position if/when stock climbs to 47.25. IVGN Dec 65 Put bought at $1.35 and held for two days was sold at $1.25 for 0.10 loss. I told onlookers on Yahoo messenger that the stock is in its...

I'm holding AX, hoping it touches 62 and probably fly to 64.

Oops! Interesting!!! I'm back but will only post when I make new trades. I did make one today but not many contracts - AX Dec 55 Call bought at 4.50. Will start posting my trades. How are you uninvited_guest? Are you still in AAPL? Congratulations if you held on to your position when the...

That's a guaranteed profit! Just hope that XLNS doesn't gap down before December expiration!:)
