just liquidated everything on the early GOOG release. I don't like the feeling this market is giving me. Made a profit on CAT, UTX, lost a little on CSCO. will likely stay cash until earnings are over, may pick up some names that have already announced. namely looking at IBM

Any swing traders around? I'd like to see some other posts in here if you guys want to. I'm a little dry on trade ideas atm even after looking at about 100+ charts this morning. I have 25% cash right now that I want to trim to at least 5% via equity holdings. I generally stay away from...

These guys are good..had me questioning myself and my thought process and ALMOST shook me out of CAT. I still have a long way to go for this to turn into what I was anticipating, but the position is finally in the green. Trying to evaluate what I will do going forward with this junk. Doesn't...

out of the top 5 DOW stocks today, 3 of them are my only 3 holdings: CSCO UTX and the biggest winner of the day CAT The other two being BA and INTC I have yet to decide whether this is a good or bad thing. I think what this means is if the market goes down ill get killed, if the...

Annnd I sold HAS at 37.90 can't catch a break..

I am also an ex poker player, FU doj :) I will say one thing since i had the poker mindset, and people can correct me if im wrong. but the patience and keeping your cool in poker only works in trade setup, NOT once trade is initiated. I would say my number 1 flaw in trading is im patient and...

Im not trying to be rude but you keep contradicting yourself. you just said it should be worthless, but the post before you said you bought it back to avoid people painting the tape..thus not being worthless. I'm not sure what to tell you other then if you buy a call back you will always pay...

Dude..you just answered your own question right there. Why should you be able to buy it back at 5-10 cents when there is obvious risk involved, if there wasn't risk invovled you would just let it expire worthless and collect your 35 cents

oh and i just read this a little more clear, even on weeklies you can't buy it back there will always be a spread, need to let it expire worthless.

why didnt you just let it expire worthless? options expire on saturday so on friday close there is still value, stock can have an after market news that makes share price go up before saturday etc.. Did you even read your options disclosure agreement???

been neglecting updates because well my performance hasnt been great =/ but anyways here it is: Account@ $22,266 Still hold CAT, UTX, and CSCO at previous mentioned prices..all 3 have been killing me lately. 2 days ago I bought PCN at 17.34 looking to hold it for a swing trade. I...

All my thoughts exactly. and yes I have my 7 and I am with a broker. And I have asked to have my accounts elsewhere and I can't. I actually don't know flys completely well yet but I have been following this journal and doing a lot of paper trades. But alas I will have to forgo this strategy...

unfortunately not, ive already tried :D guess ill just stay out of the fly game for now.

wow, that's a whole lot more reasonable then mine is trying to charge. i was mainly just curious, i cant change brokerage due to my job

ended up buying pcn yesterday in my retirement account with the intention of holding it long term @ 17.34 but got nearly 4% out of it in under 24 hours and couldn't resist so sold it today for 17.93. Will get back into this potentially in the future. I do like PCN a whole lot more then PHK...

any of you guys putting this fly on mind telling me what brokerage you use? mine charge 3 transactions of 6.95 each transaction to put on a fly..

sorry to revitalize a dead thread 3 years later, but not only did these guys not die, but they are at all time highs now. Honestly, they have some pretty impressive results..

anyone know what's going on with phk? I normally dispise these posts but i've done everything i can to figure out. this thing has shaved 40% of its value in the last 3 days with no end in sight. I was considering opening a position in this about 2 weeks ago and obviously happy i didn't, but...

Look at the chart, on the way up AAPL had a false exhaustion point at this exact same level, $640, however it continued to charge all the way to 705. then aapl formed a very very clear and distinct head and shoulders. and now we are on the way back down with a false(maybe?) exhaustion point on...
