But if you truly believe AAPL will reach 232 by Sep 15 '17, a 150 strike at that expiry costs $4.70. Even if it were only to reach $200 by the expiry, the contract would be worth $50. That's a 11 fold return. Why not do that? p.s. What is your stop?

You expect AAPL to reach 232 by Sep 15 '17? Does this mean that you bought options on AAPL? What strike?

Exact opposite experience. I have used multiple wires. They were all sent out by JPM before 2PM PST and I received a text alert from IB within 30 minutes saying the funds were available. It was probably something wrong on your bank end or your end. Did you create a "deposit notification" in...

That's not a contradiction. Had you pre-empted, you would have made even more. What's more is that an investment in GOOGL or VZ would not have hurt you. So you could have hedged just fine with all three.

Reactions are usually too late for those kinds of things. I would just divvy up some cash amongst the those in the field. I would be covered no matter what. Also, just because one gets there quicker does not necessarily that the others in the industry will absolutely be left in the dust, and...

And what are your thoughts on the matter? I already know what the author of the article thinks.

Why would low cost of a spread not be an issue for you? That's like saying, "here market maker, skim some off the top of my trade". The strikes do matter if limited. AAPL is a good example. Weekly is by $1 and monthly by $5. Monthly is July 21, Weekly is July 7, 14, 28. if AAPL is 147, which it...

If Lynx routes through IB, I say cut out the middle man and opt for IB.

I am assuming your broker is IB. Even if not the case, you still need what is listed. You must subscribe to L1 as well as L2 to get L2 1. You are missing level 1 data: 1a. NASDAQ (Network C/UTP) 1b. NYSE (Network A/CTA) 2. You are missing NYSE Open Book. There is also the bulk option...

If you wouldn't buy now, why would you buy at all? Especially if they haven't monetized their myriad users. In that case, what isn't good @18 isn't good @8. That snowball effect is unlikely to correct unless they do something drastic. The next earnings report is expected August 9 per EW, which...

Doesn't that assume they won't choose to hold onto their shares?

I am not bringing in politics, I am bringing in money. This isn't a coffee thread, it is a financial thread about coffee. As such, I just couldn't see your "monetary" or "financial" reasoning for liking Peet's over SBUX. It seemed to me that you like Peets just because it wasn't mainstream. Are...

Let me guess, you only buy organic, shop at Trader Joe's or Whole Foods, wear ironic sunglasses, rolled up shorts or pants, rebuff the establishment despite being able to afford Whole Foods and probably voted Democrat.

AAPL 04:07 AM EST

So that's it. Just the link. What are your thoughts on the article?

Not to split hair because I do see merit in your statements, but I think you have neglected two major factors that often go unseen or ignored by people who point to what you just pointed to, those being: Giffen goods effect and market sentiment (their cult following). 1. Very few companies have...

What do you mean by market share. AAPL represents ~11% of global market share whilst being bigger than all other tech companies combined. AAPL has some much cash on hand that they can simply buy innovation through other companies as they have done with their myriad subsidiaries. Nokia corners...

It is interesting that M said there is an increased basis to account for the cost of "cash and carry" in USD related pairs as opposed to non-USD. Borrowing to sell and lending to buy. So the increased basis means more risk/volatility. USD pairs have cheaper conversion than GBP pairs. Ex...

Still better than the competition. I would rather have an iPhone or an iMac over a PC or a Samsung any day. Well the new iOS will only use about 50% of the space for storing things like photos with the same quality. I am happy about that. People will get over the modem issue. QCOM successfully...

It is not a FX translational loss. I haven't placed any FX trades in that account. No foreign stocks.
