Surf- Can you point me to any type of article anywhere about any of Buffetts villas? I just do not believe that. I won't pass judgement on VN's trading. I do know that he bored me half to death in his book. One of the few that i have ever not been able to complete. I know that Buffett...

First board I've been on here in a while.

This is my definition of fun. Covered 5's of a lot of shorts. Just want to get lighter so that I can reshort higher. Worst case, I am just living with puts and no common. I can live with that. Too bad that gold/silver is taking most of my gains today. Hope you all are loving this.

Blew out the last of my SMH, too small to keep on the screen. Got .14. Looking for another 30-50 before getting short again. Luck guys, H:.

Highest ever!!! I hear that a lot of it was option related. Heavy option trading in the qubes too. Interestingly, it came on a day that was basically down with a surge in the last hour. The volume wasn't at the bottom really. It probably will act as a multi-day bottom. It is part of the...

I haven't changed my tune one bit. I'm just trading SMH common against the puts I have. Think it's called gamma trading or something like that. I'm not much of a vocab guy. Since my puts are struck at 40, now that we're under, I essentially have a few million dollar short position. I bought like...

That was so fast. I just blew 10 of those SMH out for a bit over a half. SMH just flew there. Book em while you have em..... Taking the rest home and looking to snag a few puts on the close.

Covered that GE and taking some SMH home long against the puts. Good luck guys.

Guys, I covered all my shorts except ge, stop at .5 Gonna let my puts do my talking. Things just can't seem to get rolling on the downside yet.

Did the 38's b/c it was trading high 37's at the time. Seemed like the best cost effective way to play it. I put out a score of GE at .5 today. That secondary really looks like it's dripping all over the market. I will probably cover this MOC though. Covered my NVLS on the opening dip...

Who's NV?

What makes you believe that he's a joker. Seems to get many more of them right than wrong. I've read all his letters many times over. Really great material there. He's made me money so no complaints (only got one share though). BTW: I was thinking of going to vote that share. Are any of...

Not that much really. Since they are long dated, most of the prem is just time and not pric/vol. I think I put them on when SMH was at 41.5 avg or so. I cleared about 150-200k so far this year trading just common. I'm only up like 70 or so on those semi puts and about half that on the qube puts...

Guys- I've been holding about a score and change of smh common shorts for a few months now. Also bought a few hundred of the 38 QQQ long dated puts. Last week, I bought a few hundred long dated SMH 40 puts and really pressed it on friday. Today I doubled up that position and added mostly in...

Hey-- Surprise! Surprise! I'm going to be in NYC in about a week. I'd love to do another get together at that time. Maybe i'll post more on it in a few days. I know that Surf wanted to go last time, maybe he'll come down.

I would recommend contacting the top tier firms and get a real job. Prop shops are for hacks that can't cut it in real trading.

I only made 2500 on tasr today. I was averaging 30-50 a day for a while. Feels like a waste of a day.... Funny that you can score a 6 figure month trading basically 1 stock. Even funnier that i did it without level 2 quotes most of the time.....

Honestly, it is pretty annoying. I knew something was up today b/c my quotes all went blank. Then I knew to turn on cnbc. Otherwise, I'd have probably just kept reading the news. Still, I think the problem is not on IB's end but the exchange's.

I can handle all those. We have all of them. Best of all are the Nutria. These are oversides sewer rats which can get up to 65 lbs, most are around 30-40. Anyway, to keep the rats under control, the state offers a $2 reward per tail you bring in. Naturally, you have a lot of rednecks with guns...

I'm best bid in gold for june delivery. Anyone wanna tag me? This prick keeps moving up the offer every time I up. This is the bottom clearly in gold. No idea on that gold ETF. They haven't filed any more SEC docs in months.
