Wow! How much margin or funds does one need to cover that trade in order for it to go through?

Nice find! I hope you pour more coals on THAT fire and that you got in near day's open. AH shows stock's up $0.55. I'd be following you if I wasn't all bought up already.

To Anyone: What streaming charts program do you use, and what's the best offer for not too much money you've encountered? I'm currently using MarketWatch's streaming charts for ~$30/mo and it has glitches regularly. Am going to "free trial" Esignal's program but is expensive to subscribe to...

To Anyone: What are you using for streaming stockcharts and what is the most decent offer for the quality you've found? I'm using MarketWatch streaming charts and it's often got glitches, for ~$30/mo.

Smallfil, You keep a good pile on your plate! I have trouble keeping abreast of 3 pos'ns alone! What with the news and intraday jumps. I know, I should not be watching so intently. I make my decisions based on certain charts after hours and should not change them based on other criteria...

I'm guessing you guys are both stateside. That said, Canadian purchases are generally 1+1/2 times to double what they are stateside.

To CNMS2 - I bought that options "bible" and what a book! It just arrived in the mail and now I see why it cost $105. It'll be a while before I finish it if I don't skip all over the place in it. Thanks for the rec.

Closed out my BBY call for a good profit this a.m., bought a put right away as it was sinking fast. Still holding overnight (I have to because of my acc't's daytrade rules) and looking bearish with higher volume. DNA also went for a good dive, inflating my put nicely past the buy price, not sure...

Welcome back! Hope the break from trading was refreshing.

Brian, BBY gapped up and is holding steady so far - I was nervous this open, not sure whether it was a gap up for a down day or what! She opened above $50 and is floating above there now - I thought it might prove to be a resistance point. DNA is definitely broken to the down side, but not...

Well, I admire you - nice acc't balance, winning trades, sounds like a stress free trading life. I'd be following your style if I had near that much - thanks for posting!

That's OK, Hank! I just mentioned that in passing, throwing in a comment I wasn't sure you knew of but might want to hear from "the man" you might be following. I SO agree with you on the yo-yo dance energy is doing - tightly following the crude and gas prices - and that we are headed for...

So that means you're counting on it trading below $50 by expiry? And possibly below $47.50?

Speaking of whom, he was bearish on it, the last he spoke of it.

Amen to that! Happy Thanksgiving to you by the way! Hope that turkey was good! Our Thanksgiving is in Oct., probably because of a cooler climate in general and so shorter growing season. I will keep you posted on anything I find going well to try and give you a leg up into a profitable trade! Us...

I don't know the greeks at all either, just wondering if you did and where you check. RSAS I see is rising, looks like the same pattern as DNA when I thought it would bounce off the resistance of $95. Incicdently, I'm playing the same scenario again except at $98, but it doesn't look good from...

Thanks, Hajimow. If TXN were to go down, would you not stand to make more if you BOUGHT a put, rather than sell one? I thought your selling the calls on TXN would be the money makers if it went down - no?

Yes, I see now - pity he's not posting any longer...

How's that again? I can't get anything from this reference address.

Sorry to hear of your mom's misfortune - glad to see you're back! Yes, I was wondering as I was researching him whether the 2 Gary's were the same guy or not! Meanwhile, I made a big mistake. On Friday, expiry, I set a sell limit on my GOOG calls instead of a trailing stop, overconfident that it...
