That's good to know that they are consistent both ways at least.

LeonPhelps, Is an announcement coming for RIMM? When? Their earnings announcement isn't until Dec 21st. Or maybe this is the one you're talking about. Thanks, Frank

Loufah, Thanks. I traded after 9:33AM EST. It had definately opened when I placed the trade. They said it was due to bad data that the exchange had. Oh well. I'm more over it this morning. I FINALLY had a winning trade, and then they busted it. So, I was just a little...

I also wonder if they would have busted the trade if it went down in value. So, is it the broker that busts the trade or the exchange? Thanks, Frank

This past Friday, the FDA lifted a ban on silicone implants. So, this morning shortly after open, I purchased 1 AGN call option. I got confirmation that it FILLED, and as the option was increasing in value, my liquidating value was increasing nicely. About 20 minutes laterI get a...

I can't find any specific info that the FDA announcement for AMAG will happen this week. The most specific I can find is "4th quarter". However, "everyone" out there seems to think that it will according the options volatility. NFLD's FDA announcement is even more specific to November...

:-) lol Maybe not that many though. I'm expecting GOOG to pull back a little (which means nothing). So, I was thinking of a few. Frank

How much does GOOG have to pull back for those .05 cent options to go up to .10? Based on my corrected calculations, this may be something to look at. :-) Frank

Your right. Oops. I've made plenty of options trades, I should have caught that. That's what I get for replying in a hurry. Ok, maybe I'll buy some myself. :-) Frank

What??? 8000 options @ .05 costs $400 Am I missing something? Maybe I don't understand your point? Please clarify. Thanks, Frank

Keep in mind that 8000 of those put options are only going for .05 cents a piece. That's a whopping, $400. Oh boy! Whoever bought them likely doesn't have any insider info. If they did, they would have bought more expensive put options and a lot more of them. They are hoping GOOG drops...

Does anyone know when the FDA announcement will be for NFLD? I've heard "sometime in November", and I'm wondering if there is a way to find out more than that. Thanks, Frank

Would Stock Index Futures qualify under this also? Or would any commodities Futures product qualify (for example, including CBOT Mini Silver)? Frank

Ok, it's official. Now, I'm bullish. In fact, I bet most people have switched to a bullish position. Some are later than others. Myself included. LOL Now that most are bullish, does this mean we are going to be heading into a bear market? BTW, I saw the charge, and the prediction...

Rallymode, Very interesting. This discussion is getting more and more interesting. :-) What about the original strategy that I posted? What do you think of it? Thanks, Frank

From what I understand, here are the differences.... A Stock Broker is different from a Financial Advisor. Some Stock Broker's call themselves Financial Advisors but they are really stock brokers. The SEC (& state) requirements for Financial Advisor are different from that of a Stock...

FullyArticulate, Thanks for the reply. I'm interested in learning more about the strategy you offered as well. With the strategy you outlined, are you talking about buying OEX options? What is a good ratio of x to y? If the market rallies hard after hours, you said to buy back...

I'm reading McMillan on Options, and they talk about a strategy that I have questions about. It's a hedged strategy for Index futures on index option expiration Here's the strategy: On Expiration Friday do the following: Buy five in-the-money expiring OEX calls Sell one S&P...

Why is everyone so excited to see someone who has a lot to offer leave ET? So, he made a bad call. Haven't we all? If anything else, it gave everyone something to write about for a few days. :-) Remember, tomorrow is another day... Yes, I've lost some money too on this run up...

Found it. They're expecting a FDA rulling this week. The price of the options have increased 170%! Gotta love this IV. Now, I just need to figure out how to profit off of this (or maybe it's too late). Anyone take their ADHD drug in their testing? :-) Frank
