    GOOG for once i was taking the "be patient and let the trade come to me" approach, so missed this trade.....so far! think i will let expiry pass and re-evaluate. DNA did the 2/14 reversal represent the test of the 9/27 lows of 80....or will we get your often mentioned "second chance" of...

    XLNX had a little follow thru from Wed gap up. straddle turned out profitable. today i closed the feb 2750c at 1.3 for +.85 but kept open the 2750p. overall position is locked in profit. Ice, curious to know your thoughts on hanging onto an unprofitable leg of a strategy b/c the MV is...

    legged into calls at .45 and puts at .60 with expectation that this thing plunges thru the already filled 1/5/06 gap support level. Also thought cisco report tonight might take tech down, but that hasn't seemed to pan out. :( overall, not my best endeavor....

    Iceman, some nice action with ttwo :) wasn't me at opening print, on board until the first bounce (if you can call it that now) so got out at 2.25 for +1720.....but just like my g-friend always says, just a little early :D man, you right on with the $13 call. if you're not going to take the...

    thanks for the heads up ice. read greenbergs article and will leg into a strangle by picking up some feb 1750p. i see that 21% of float is short so any non-negative news could ignite rally as technicals suggest. do know of any earnings news release dates?

    TTWO i think this gets resolved to the upside, but market action has me cautious of being overly bullish. need to pick up some puts to balance risk.

    GOOG unreal, some market players made some serious cash pinning that thing sub 400. Ice was right with playing the TTWO straddle and sell non-performing leg. Still like technicals after today, holding Feb 20c

    Ice- agree with your $20 call, this is a VERY NICE setup under my TA strategy. what are your thoughts on hitting the TTWO Jan 20c? very low cost bet with $$$ potential if ttwo sees 20?

    Ice, enjoy your journal. would like to get your thoughts on something. you have talked about traders 'pinning' a stock at expirations periods. does this typically happen to all stocks general or more volatile stocks? What are some things to keep in mind about this? for example, i...
