ok .thanks.. thats fine. I just check your future posts on elitetrader if u post such glaring opportunities.. i was already short 8 naked calls BIDU. which made me nervous.. they were in the 270 and 280 range... when it went up, if I was given such a tip, probably I would have sold...

you were bang on the money on this one. do u make more predications occasionally. ? do you have a twitter which I can follow thanks.

hi. dmo, could you post your link to the above reference. I also use IB and I was unaware that there are borrowing costs other than the quoted option price. for certain STOCKS. does IB specifically mention these costs before we initiate the transaction. for the given stock ? also...

kudos to the reply. when you decide that such and such % is what you need . do you think the market will agree with you. Its all about the potential of a given trade at a given time. I did lots of covered calls .deep ITM. when I could decide my ROI. and kept it safe. but many blew up in...

DIA. that was a nice one.. well. if diamond prices have collapsed. and even producers are closing mines http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/business/7906425.stm but why is TIFFANY rising like crazy ...

one way you could do it is sell a bear call spread at the money. which gives u an almost 1:1 Profit /Loss situation which you could derive with shorting the stock. I have done that many times in my IRA the trick is expiry. and if the short leg is to be assigned then they can unilaterally...

i am also intrigued. . I perfectly understand USO.. puts calls.. do my stuff.. spreads.. etc.. everything.. I have a thinkorswim account and IB account opened with futures trading access. but I could not figure out how to simulate the same trade. may be I need some mentoring. also, one...

ha ha your reply "so is 99% of the rest of ET. Good luck in your search; you will need it." makes me remember Metallica's song " SAD but TRUE"

u know what... TIFFANY is nothing... only 16% short squeeze interest... look at NILE.. ha ha... 50.2% Short squeeze... its unbelievable.. it seems like everyone knows the bubble is going to pop. what I am surprised is that so many late entry longs are not exiting in the hope that the...

I did not know this could happen. the poster on the yahoo board is saying that , there were no options available , when he put in limit orders. please see post below. http://tinyurl.com/NILE-SHORT...

isnt this. one of those typical trades. where conventional wisdom says to do something. but unconventional wisdom wins. ha ha. well. most of the market seems to be like this . he he. hence why different for TIF

hmm.. wud anyone recommend rolling a short position over. from APR to MAY.. I have 25 short strike calls. which I will roll over to May 27 for even 1.60 approx.. I read somewhere rumors of takeover. but seriously. who would want to buy this POS retailer in this economy.. This is one...

any one shorting this retail POS.. it should be falling but has gone through the roof..

there are a thousand ways to skin the cat. dont complicate. I wud prefer to use a strangle/straddle. if u can guess the range.

Yup, I am also in this dilemma.. Also to add, I was initially looking for a side business/job. which would be after 4 pm ET. ie. after the markets have closed. I think may be evening shifts at some restuarants/liquor store, hotel front desk. I think Hotel front desk sounds like a no...

have u tried thinkorswim.. use the paper trading acct.. u can see all the chains u need in this world !

EXACTLY, infact I wonder why SKF is even traded.. there should be no BID ask on it.. just a price which reflects 2X inverse of XLF ( but I have noticed a disconnect as demand supply changes and it leads /lags on the true 2X from time to time ) it always closes close to the 2X inverse...

sorry. i miswrote , I had put a limit of 4. but AZO was hovering at 159.80-90 range. when they pulled the plug on it.

BTW, on a related note, I have a tradeking IRA account which allows me to sell spreads I sold one spread for AZO 155 to 160. since it was 159 hovering and since I am not supposed to hold naked short shares in my IRA( as i cannot contribute to it) unilaterally at 3.59pm, I saw...
