JJacksET4 ....... the play I assume would be to buy at open: RIMM Apr 2011 50.000 puts http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=RIMM110429P00050000 Then sell at close. I think a strangle would be too expensive - go with the direction, which is down. Very interesting trade.

1a2b3cppp ...... Read the original thread. The topic is trading in hindsight, in this case going back to 2008 and checking out the good trades that would have turned out nicely based on todays prices. So buying options will clearly be better than selling options, you wont be picking any expired...

UPDATE: Position still open, unrealized P/L: - $12.82

Why bother writing options? More money in buying, hindsight is 20/20 so go for the big would have gains.

Hindsight is always 20/20. SLV calls would have made you a fortune, much more than selling NG.

1a2b3cppp to reduce the risk you could sell the QQQ Aug 2011 52.00 put for $0.66 http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=QQQ110820P00052000 Buy QQQ Aug 2011 55.00 put @ $1.19 Sell QQQ Aug 2011 52.00 put @ $0.66 Debt $0.53 - Maximum loss $53.00 If the QQQ reaches $54.55 by August 13 - I week...

Yes

IB is slightly less than $1.00 per contract. Open and close will be less than $2.00.

I would make it an Iron Condor, don't buy the stock - buy OTM options to go with the short $350.00 calls and puts. Buy May $360.00 Call @ $3.20 Buy May $340.00 Put @ $3.45 Maybe even 1 strike further OTM on both legs. Buy May $365.00 Call @ $1.95 Buy May $335.00 Put @ $2.34

You would have to post the entire paragraph or link to what you read, one sentence can be taken out of context.

UPDATE: Position still open, unrealized P/L: +$5.18

$0.50 ITM with one week to expiration. Sell at $0.86, but you bought at $1.25 ( minus 31%)

Currently selling for $1.25 http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=QQQ110820P00055000 Minus 31% with one week before expiration looks about right. Sell at about $0.86. Is that August 8 or August 13? I think it's August 13.

I think stock777 and S2007S are the same person.

UPDATE: Position still open, unrealized P/L: - $11.32

I didn't even check when earnings was due, which I see is this Wednesday, April 27. I based this trade on the chart below, and sold the calls to reduce the maximum loss from $98.00 to $82.00. SBUX - Year to date - April 25, 2011 RE: Earnings I can't image SBUX climbing 8%+ after...
