    My option trades

    AMZN reports on July 18. Large gap from last earnings. I like the company and see it >300 by January 2013. However I have a gut feeling that we might see an island reversal. Just wondering if anyone is playing AMZN. If Ryan was still here I'd be curious what his research shows about...

    JPM reports tomorrow pre-market

    maybe they can explain how their gamblers managed to lose a fortune. I guess no one learned a lesson from 2007-2008; same old over-educated, incompetent wannabee idiots trading millions and millions of dollars, with little success. Does JPM move market lower on Friday 13th? Or higher? lol...

    Does anyone have a solution for avoiding or decreasing modification fees with IB?

    trade at thinkorswim they will offer $1.5-1.25 per (active traders) and no modification fees... has helped me get much better prices and time it better without constraints over the last few months since I switched from IB.

    what are the disadvantages of legging into a bull call spread?

    I leg in a lot. Like all other things, you win some and lose some. On balance in today's options markets (unlike back in 1980s -lol) I think it makes sense on smaller size.

    Gs

    I trade GS. I see the stock at $105-107. My only issue (i.e about when to back up the truck) is from what levels will it start said climb. Will it see $85 first? Any GS traders willing to comment ?

    What is your edge ?

    +1 and patience as an option trader in weekly and monthly patience has served me well. I often take delivery as well and almost always the underlying reverts.

    Help with two losing options trades expiry jul12

    why buy a higher call? Either 1. sell for loss and open higher ATM or ITM puts in back month 2. sell higher strike put for July and create backspread - then "hope" underlying trades a lot lower. 3. sell current position and buy smaller quantity of Aug/Sept so that you get 'some'...

    Options are only good for two things...

    so?! however if that is true then you must be cleaning up in the market since you obviously believe intelligence has everything to do with trading success. I know guys with high school degrees who made millions.

    figure it out - I gave you all you need to do that. If you can't then just trade stocks. You didn't say whether the underlying gapped higher.
