Uhhhhh... ok...but what are the strike prices? And isn't the stock at 27? What am I missing?

I guess I am misreading the whole thing...what strike prices are you talking about....maybe I got your prices mixed up with strike prices...only thing I can think of.

Don't have option quotes right now...what expirations? Also am I reading these prices wrong? How can a 25 put be worth $60? Wouldn't the stock have to go to Negative 35 to be in the money? What am I missing? Also, do you expect an $85 move on earnings? I am sorry for sounding dumb. I know I have...

Trying to get banished to "chit-chat" maybe? Can't be long at this rate. Has gotten so far off topic. And the intesting thing is that I thought some of the threads that were "banished" were more relevant to trading than this one has become. BUT, having said that, I stand by my earlier...

Yes, well I promise he will posthumously shake things up even more when I reveal what his real intent was. Besides, I am almost 100% sure he is still here, just using other screen names (and no, I am not one of them). I do believe, however, that he had a HUGE amount of aliases.

That is a possiblility I considered, but why a seperate thread for only one post? And if i did it that way, wouldn't it sink to the bottom and deprive a lot of the people that would be interested in it from seeing it because of time factors?

When in Rome.....

Well, I have something very interesting to tell everyone about Super_ego. My dilemma is that I only want to post it once, and I don't know in which thread or at what time to do it. It should and will come as a revelation, that I assure you! Any suggestions on how I should go about this? I...

Yes, well that was the point I have been trying to make through this whole thread. Look at the first post here. My intention was to find what trades REALLY were trades you COULD learn from....such as the AOL trade I talked about 2 posts back.

I would be sure of my "facts" if I were you. I happen to be quite familiar with the Mark Rich fiasco, and I assure you it had NOTHING to do with a "bribe". You can hate Clinton, you can hate Rich, I don't say you are not entitled to feel any emotions you would like. Just that you are wrong...

Tuesday before the '87 crash, I sold my oex puts (2 whole contracts) for a loss of 1/2. Had I held them a week more, they would have been worth (at their top) about 60k....this was on about a $200 investment. But at least I didn't lose much:mad: But again, I didn't learn from this....it was...

hey all, these trades described are all pretty much what I was describing in the first post as trades we had no control over....at least not in the extreme volitility. Or after hours earnings, news, etc. Yes, some of you pointed out that you did not take your profits/losses quickly enough, or...

I was wondering if anyone wanted to share remembrances of their best or worst trades, and what they learned from them. I think perhaps these aberrations to our normal trading activities can show us, occasionally, what we did right or wrong. And if we can share these instances, maybe we can...

Now you sound like Superego.. With a follow up by Billy Graham:) PS: Did you give up on adding graphics to your posts? Good trading and good luck Chas!

Always the best MS...always!!!!!:) :)

Super_Ego, I thought that you and fasterpussy were the same cat. But upon reflection, I realize that fasterpussy never has anything to say, so I guess he really was just obsessed with you and did his cheerleader thing from the heart!

Done...emptied except for one special one!

Someone actually told you that? I just thought anti-social. I never considered "unpatriotic", but that was prior to the economy going to hell.

Well sometimes he just got too excited to be careful!

And the truth is?
