"...no lawyer is gonna take a case unless he's fairly confident he'll win. if the case has no merit, it'll be thrown out..." You mean like the judge who sued the dry cleaners for ~50 MILLION for losing his pants that they didn't lose ? Or the thousands of people every year who "fall" in...

~7.19m shares of 26m outstanding are still short ... previous updates: Sep. 14, 2007 7,189,188 Aug. 15, 2007 8,415,598 Jul. 13, 2007 8,616,033 Jun. 15, 2007 7,216,160 May 15, 2007 6,354,194 Apr. 13, 2007 5,352,588 Mar. 15, 2007 4,954,412 Feb. 15, 2007 4,042,966 Jan. 12, 2007...

Well they JUST started reporting every 2 weeks, so the info should only be 2 weeks old ... then again they don't always get the info out on time either. I find the nasdaq.com the best. Type in symbol and use the dropdown to "short interest" There are plenty of websites that talk about...

I think as long as you send them something for your estimated tax payments and then get your taxes in on time you'll be ok. They sent me a notice of penalties every year, but honestly it isn't that much and I'd just the same let them figure it out. If you're making 100k + from trading then...

They ran those commercials for a couple months or more and just figured out the company was a scam ? Somehow I doubt CNBC will be giving the ad money back ...

"...claimed the company violated price discrimination laws when it slashed the price..." AAPL discriminated against stupid people ? lol That lawyer should hurry on over to Detroit and sue them on the behalf of car buyers (aka stupid people) for making crappy cars for 30 years!

Maybe its just me but all their names and pictures make me think of bad porn ?!? Oh and how can you expect Fox to run stories about the War when they can fill the air with Anna Nicole Smiths baby stories ?!?

FYI OTM (On the Money) is getting the axe. Kudlow is switching with the Fast Money slot which will air twice the second being after Kudlow in the OTM slot. Incoming on Oct 10th 2007

I've been on vacation for a couple weeks and it appears that the XLF now has penny pricing for options priced at less then 3$... Were there more securities added ? TIA

Yes

Nravo you might try an ETF like the IWM instead of single stocks. I've been doing double calendars on the IWM/XLF and so far so good.

Anyone see the monster call volume on PTR today ? Yahoo is showing 240k DITM calls, but my other feed isn't showing any volume at all.

People still see ads on websites ? Firefox + adblock = no more ads Welcome to 2007 !

There are a couple threads on that SPY trade and the volume was from last week but still showing on Yahoo... The word is that it was someone moving funds from one account to another ...

nravo - I was talking to one of the option brokers at a recent Moneyshow and they told me that most people who blow up accounts use naked puts. Poor risk management I guess. . . I'm a fan of them myself !

I'd look at the IWM if I were you and place very small bets especially on OTM puts. We've already had a 10% correction so buying puts now is like buying fire insurance after your house is on fire... a bit too late IMO

Great discussion on 1256/taxes ! tag

Anyone have the backtested chart of the VIX that includes the 87 crash ? TIA

CPST ran up huge during Katrina ... might be a crappy company but they have actually improved since 2005 and they haven't ran up yet. At time of posting CPST is 1.04

I don't disagree with your thesis but wonder how much on the downside you see in CC given they have ~2$ in cash ? A buyout isn't likely given todays credit situation, but with their cash position nothing can be ruled out ... a private equity firm could come in and close their losing stores...
