Wow, almost dipped into FOSL 90 puts at $4.00.....after those losses, I just didn't pull the trigger. I reviewed PCLN again for tomorrow. The chart is showing bearish signs all over the place. RSI is lower on the second top, and looks like a nice double top formation, no break yet, but the...

Wow, big disconnect. I didn't get a good feel for traders in the current market situation. Taking some losses in RAX and FOSL spreads.....I'm leaning towards heavier put trades for the remaining funds.

LOL, true to that, but then you just can't let emotions keep you out of which ever trade makes money....lol. I almost did grab FSLR a few years back because there's no way solar was going to last they way everyone said it would but I decided to buy some shares around $75 and rode it to $140...

RAX gapped 20% last time, I think the options are expensive because of that gap, so I'm getting in with 60/65 spread. The cloud sector has been strong. I did see FFIV and VMW with solid numbers, and EQIX gapping to new highs on solid earning. I think RAX should continue its momentum growth here...

LNKD trade turned out to at $14.01 gain. Should have taken what the market gave at $1.60-$1.70, but closed out at $1.20 from $1.00 cost. the shares did move up beyond that opening price as expected, just not as much partly due to weak broad market. From $118 open, I saw it hit around $120.50...

Taking second look at HLF....$70 to $45 in 3 days. Anyone else think its overdone? I think at the very least we get a dead cat bounce. Support used to be right around $52, I think the bounce is at least that high over the next week. I'm thinking of a spread 47.5/52.5 for about $1.90-2.10 range...

Closed out TRMB for loss of -285.99. I think LNKD will climb higher through end of day, so I jumped in 2 lnkd May 4, 2012 $120 calls at $1.00, set stop at $0.55, and I'll just see if the prediction holds. I'd gladly close out if the options hit $2.50 by noon. Anticipate small loss around...

All I can say from the data is that if LNKD opens here at $120 this morning, then leg out of the 120s and let the 110s run another 1-2 points....History shows LNKD adds at least another 4% above its opening price. At $120, you can almost be 100% sure that it'll hit $122-$124 sometime during the...

I'm playing it way too safe.....should have gone with the condor on GMCR yesterday, and today I had lnkd 115/120 weekly call spread set up screen....All I did was watched and these two high risk are paying big time. So here I am with my safe play on TRMB calls, where I am so sure that it will...

Plenty of these types of trades out there....who every bought V may 4, 2012 120 puts at $0.25 this morning would be smiling too....

Put limit order to buy 2 trmb may 55 call at $1.55. current bid/ask is 1.55/1.65, I'm still double checking, so the limit order is below bid, but if it hits then oh well. Oops, I raised my limit to $1.60 thinking it wouldn't trigger just yet, but it did. Bought 2 55 calls at total -$332.99.

That's a good bet right there Jeff. As long as you hold KFT. It has an average move of 4.5% in either direction from the day after earnings up to its next option expiration date. You'll have to be crafty and jump out at the right time (+3% swing in either direction to play it safe) otherwise...

ROVI and LNKD, I'm reviewing both because I know of their 10% plus pops lol. LNKD will go one way or the other... I'll take a look at AIG since I do like the chart, but I'm probably going with TRMB. TRMB has momentum....and 4 straight quarters is nothing lol, I learned that from PCLN which is...

Wow, that's a lot of trading there....

I got greedy and too hopeful though, I should have taken what the market gave....I took those short 125 calls at $0.20 right off the open, then saw the 120 calls at $2.20-$2.40 range and for about 1 minute my instinct said to take that small loss there....That's where I made my mistake and...

It came to a loss, I got greedy and set up a stop at $1.75 on the 120 calls, instead I got stopped at $1.47, freaking slowest computers they must have. lol.

Alright, I'm almost all out, and it may have paid off..... Closed out WFMI may 85/90 spread at $3.50, that's up from $1.55 cost with net gain about $350.96 Closed the V position at a loss of -$287.98 Lol, what a start, net gain only came to $62.98. That darn DOJ probe messed my...

Alright, I think I'm going to lef out of WFM getting out of short 90 calls at the open...should be around $1.50-$1.70 at these levels. Then I'll look to exit longs above $5.50 and try to get close to $4.00 exit on the spreads. At $1.55 cost, that should come out to a nice return. As for V, it...

Like I said before falcon, you may not get it right the first few times, but after trading certain stocks pre-earnings for a couple of years, you'll get a great feel for them.....One of my favorite is PCLN. That one's coming up, and with EXPE and TRIP already solid, I can almost see PCLN up 50...

I did a quick run through its numbers and I think V at least holds $125. that push to $127 might be wishful thinking by some newbies in the afterhours, but $125 should hold. Nice on the GMCR puts....that one will payoff....I felt I might be a little rusty today with first trades in a while...
