Hi, a modern thread dedicated to everyone who made it past 2000-2002 and 2008-2010 and even all the gang who survived (1987, Recession of 1989-1993, 1997 Asian Contagion), what got you involved with Trading and when did you make the leap of faith from your regular job to Trading Markets...

Hi Jimmy, With my KS Febuary Calls I am going to continue to hold them and might exercise them if she keeps on flying up. If you review the time-and-sales on Kapstone, you can see where I got with with the first of my contracts and it took later to hit other contracts above $4.50. The...

Bright, thank's for the info on the 'walking spread" on Options House, I am going to open a account with a feature like that one. I will dump the ARIA CALLS on Monday, I agree this stock could get clobbered back to $2.00 quick and this was probably a combination of a Short Squeeze...

I agree, I saw guys add more money to penny stocks that continued to fall and another guy keep Shorting IMCL because he believed their cancer treatment was bogus, a great conspiracy he could not get out of his head. I think he started shorting IMCL when it hit $7 and kept shorting all the way...

I like seeing a young kid kicking ass like this, maybe the next Stanley Druckenmiller or Victor Neiderhoffer during their heights of annual gains of 30% plus? Mr.Druckenmiller had a nice streak with his Duquesne Capital Fund under George Soros hitting some banner years, Victor too had a great...

I enjoyed reading the posts that emphasize staying in this game, and making sure you understand you must destroy the idea that a "unrealized loss" is a real capital loss. There's a guy who started to think that since he had a higher degree than I do, Trading must not be very hard since...

Your not going to find a legit Broker pulling this type of crap on you, negotiate hard with your Broker to be. It's a Trader's Market and Brokers are willing to accommodate you by dropping fees big time! I do know there were a stream of scams and low-life Brokers charging Traders of BB...

How would you describe Vengeance Trading and is this a mistake even a seasoned Trader makes? I know guys who made horrid trades on Enron, Worldcom, Lucent and Tyco when all those stocks were “In-Play” because of the financial accounting scandals and bankruptcy rumors spread, these stocks...

Hey friends, I have some other options I bought before we talked on this thread, I have been holding the Feb $2.00 ARIA Calls I bought at $.70. Today when Aria was at $4.00, I offered them out at $2.10 and $2.20 when ARIA moved to $4.07and nobody picked them up. Three months of...

Etrade sent their most active traders and guys with big accounts to Florida's South Beach, we all got to listen to Greg and Oliver Velez (mainly Greg Capra) preach the merits of doing a strategic venture with Etrade. Etrade's top clients would receive the discount of 50% or if the Prestine's...

Xandman, I order the book you recommended, I stayed up most of the night in to the morning reading Bernie Shaffer's web resources and Option Monster. I bought some CRM Febuary $55 with the gains on ICE January $200.00 CALLs. Xand-man, do you do all the advanced option...

Thank you Xandman, Can you give me a name of a Option book you feel provides the deepest insights in the valuation of a stock-option without needing a phd in math to understand the pricing models. Who is the best Broker for Options? Is there any type of program that...

Thank's I learned my lesson, I bought the Calls on Kapstone because I thought the big sell off from $50 to $42 was bogus, it proved to be the case and my bids on KS were filled because those Traders who bought the stock-options probably got stock like I did. No complaints, it was a good trade...

Thank you for the ideas you posted on my Keystone Paper. It’s confusing because a stock-option like GOOG, Apple, CRM and TSLA might be worth $1 to $3.00 per contract on Thursday November 14 with one day left until Option Expiration. TSLA November $140 Calls hypothetically might be worth...

I am bullish on Wendy's too, when the earnings report came out I waited for the classic disappointment dump and bought. I think 2014 and 2015 will be great for Wendy's, bought the common stock and May $8.00 and $9.00 Calls. You think I should have bought the January 2015 $7.50 Calls since it's...

I missed you Stock777, it gets not better than a quote like yours. " “mw starts with an edge. all chinese stocks are crooked. told you this years ago. they have had 3000 years to perfect the art of the scam” Stock777"...

The morning of the earnings call Kapstone had some fake prints at $47.00, stock flew up to $53.08 and I put those (Nov $45 Calls) options out at $8.00 with no takers. I have 15 Febuary $45 Calls, the spread after the earning report was hit was the following Market. I offered 10 contracts out at...

I heard Goldman was Shorting the stock to match orders for all the buys by all the hopeful investors thinking this is the next Google. The Market Makers are the only once allowed to Short IPOs to provide shares for their retail and Institutional clients unless this has changed, has it...

I am getting no time-value for my KS $45 with a few months left, the stock hit $53.00 and the bid was $6.6 x $8.50. How do I unload options of this thinly traded stock? I put them out $.40 above "intrinsic value" and nobody picked those options up, $.40 above intrinsic value and they...

I can't get myself to believe in fertilizer when the biggest company in the World announced they are going to play hard ball in the industry. We farmers are getting better at using less artificial nutrients because the public is demanding we develop a more sustainable approach to growing their...
