I'm not sure where that Nov 85 Put is going to go but AAPL on the surface of things had a good earning report. My hypothetical trade had me short 85 puts at 5.05. If AAPL gaps up early and ends down by the end of the day I would not be surprised.

My intention was to try to exit post-earnings. I would obviously only risk enough to be able to take on the shares if I absolutely had to. The spread is safer but I don't know if its worth the profit

My bias on AAPL going into Tuesday is that the earnings number is going to be pretty decent with an unexpected volume of iphone sales. (Supposedly these dang phones make more profit per phone than one of their pricey desktops - but I digress.. just to set my bias for this question) The...

the white monday thread and everybody calling an intermediate, short term, long term bottom tells me that monday we will be down. ET after all is the ultimate contrarian indicator.

I am not sure if the overtone is Arabs raping the markets or Dubai hedge funds raping the markets... Many of the hedge funds in Dubai are run by european ex-pats managing arab / oil money and HQ'd there for tax purposes(I suppose)

Wait is this washington DC or are we talking about Attica now? :)

This is an old thread but I have twin Dell 2407FPW sitting in portrait mode and I can't live without full page display's anymore. Looking at pdf's, webpages and excel spreadsheets is so much better, plus with a decent video card, these are pretty damn sharp monitors. a few extra hundred...

That would be only 2 hours a day, oh I get it. thats what they work anyway.

Are we talking about the stock or the product? Blackberries are evolving to meet the market's needs very well. I am on my 3rd generation blackberry and it has saved me many a client, dollar and deal. The stock and company may have reached the law of large numbers and cannot deliver 30%...

Got their best clients and institutional money out of financials on May 5th using the upgrade Now getting best clients and money into financials on the downgrade. obvious no?

I'm reading the other thread and you are saying only to buy MOS and POT and V? which is it?

I always thought GS used their conviction buy list recommendation to get them and their biggest clients out of a long position in those stocks. (in effect generating a top whilst being out of the stock.)

ByLo, the same was said about the mp3 player market and the ipod is not that different from the others but its a fat profit line for AAPL because people are paying a premium for it. I think you will see the same for the iphone. Going back to the stock, I think people ran AAPL up going...
