I knew my maximum loss would be $1250 (minus the credit i got) I never thought for a second that I'd reach 60% of it this quickly. ;) -mnx

I have a naked short put the @ 12.50 strike... never seen anything drop this sharply... I should really learn to avoid earnings announcements. -mnx

sm99, i take it you're not at swift anymore? -mnx

if you see any prints between the bid and offer on arca (P) then they are crossed orders (that's an order type...) those other magic prints as szeven said in my experience are either someone trying to hit the bid/ask on via TRIM( and getting micro price improvement) or AUTO (I used to see...

it opened for trading around there... the IPO was priced well below 100$... something like $80 or $85...

unfortunately for us canucks we can't particpate... ;( I'd participate for sure If I was a legal us resident... oh well... -mnx

Looks like you're right friend... I don't know when they changed their system but looks like auctions are now only for nasdaq, amex, nysearca only listed stocks... cheers! -mnx

15% up move today and I don't see any news on yahoo or cbsmarketwatch... also insane volume on the April calls... I only noticed this because I'm short a couple April 25 calls (@ 2$)... I've got some long february calls in place right now to protect the position... any news I'm missing...

someone who is wiser can correct me but I don't think you want to be buying volatility when IV is high... your best chance of profiting from a straddle is when IV at the low end of the range. I didn't bother to check but the IV on most of these options is probably not at the low end of the...

i traded with them part time over a few months last summer. good customer support, platform is sterling trader pro which is pretty nice... hope that helps... - mnx

she sits next to me, that article is more than 2 years old. she's still trading and has done very well for herself. btw the way when the article was written we were all arbing the amex specialist on QQQ... good times... cheers! - mnx

I'd never be where I am today if I started paying 1 cent per share commish... learning how to trade is already hard enough, you don't need to fight the uphill battle of paying 1 cent per share. paying 1 cent per share is going to eat through your deposit pretty quickly... - mnx
