FFIV only problem is the gap post-earnings gap; however, by trading to 116 3/4 Friday it 'closed' a % of the gap. Now, if it does not trade lower than I agree it might move higher. actually, prior to yesterday, it was forming a 'rising wedge' which I expected to take it to 127 +/- and then...

this is cute Zacks has a #1 rating (Str. Buy) on RVBD and now has a +4 on GMCR (Sell) . Back on October 24th Zacks' had a Buy rating on GMCR and it was cut in half from that level. think about it; people actually pay these clowns for advice. based on Zacks being an obvious contrary...

i also really thought RVBD would be higher - thought earlier gap would be a possible target - why the hell did it sell off also, on GMCR.... what makes you think it gores higher? This time I'm gonna strangle or straddle - maybe front with back month - stock is up 10 this month. thanks...

what made you believe RVBD was going to 'pop' higher? wish I had bought puts! lol

we must keep on stepping if we are going in the right direction or else know when to change course

maybe close, take proceeds and roll into next week.

What target for CRUS think maybe buying puts or shorting CRUS might be indicated - looks like it gone parabolic. might be good for a 3-5 pt downside, or more after earnings. what am i missing? of course maybe it trades higher for next 2 months and then takes a hit

when you do earnings plays do you give consideration to impl vola? nflx +9-10 AH so will you close both sides of 105/115c or get "cute" and see if you can let 105c 'run away' further - given the earlier open gap to approx 120? I tend to get cute and it almost always hurts me. figured...

bought (1) NDX 2425p @1.50 testing also scaling into SQQQ Feb 14c - bought (3) @175 - then tried to sell feb18c @55 been a while since I traded NDX; was trading the MNX but illiquid/ spreads too wide.

may I ask why you are giving yourself just 2 days to be 'right' - what if it sells of on Monday, not by Friday?! curious why you look only to front month or week - more bang for the buck !?

good job on TPX wish I saw your post earlier - would have bought some calls. looked bullish when I looked last evening. Do you now think TPX might be a short/puts if it nears 69-70? Obviously these gaps will resolve at some point. Have you found after +earnings report they trend even higher...

looks like you are going to ring the register - bravo where do you find the underlyings to trade - where do you look for upcoming earnings? TY

you like the attention, don't you. let's say you are right. What does that do for you hotshot!

i agree it has upside - but it may sell off first is my hunch - chart 'looks' more bullish however bought march 125p sold feb 115p order working to buy Feb 125c

any thoughts on buying puts on FFIV here ?? i am scaling into march 125p + 130p and will sell Feb puts on PB however chart does look st bullish - so might take some long front calls. just think market has had a large rally and due for some reasonable correction ever if st trend...

Ryan, I agree maybe you should roll down or at least sell 100c to have 'some' hedge b.t.w are you in Chicago

sounds like you have a decent plan... do you buy front month options, always? If you go out a month or so, does that give you more time to adjust/repair your strategy... and some room for error so you take hit like on PH etc.

which ones? what expiry - front?

is this a gamble (i.e. pure dice roll) or do you key off charts or T/A, or volume? It's trading 8990 right now - AH. looks good so far.

what strikes are in your spreads? you're looking for a pop in price AH with earnings release? To what level?
