    What do you tell your friends who don't have a clue...

    Funny. This happened to me last week. This so-called friend said "can you help me figure out how to use a _____trade account i just opened with $500. I want to buy SIRI, it is(was) at $6, i think it will go down to $5.5 and i will buy it there. Then i will start to learn how to invest in...

    The difference is huge cnms2 but you don't need to explain yourself to the likes of characters you find here. It was a mistake on my part that i should've just kept to myself. Didn't mean to cause any static. :( cnms2, i will admit i had doubts about your actual trading style and habits...

    Pink Floyd--your forecasts--mostly being correct--working the system. Good for you. I am working hard to take LYO down but to me, up, down, what's the difference. Risk-Time-Biggest bang for the buck are all on my mind right now. I want this week to be a good earning week so i'm putting in...

    I was under the impression that you trade with money. My mistake. ST humana trade is over or nearly over. Depends how you played it. I can't get specific about this one b/c of consideration of other parties involved. I thought you would easily see which ATM options had high time value to...

    HUM is ripe now. We may want to sell ATM options trading out 1-2 months that carry high time value.

    With odds like that i would stick to trading cracker jack prizes. EDIT: listen iceguy, i'm a bit weary of talking to those who wear shades on cloudy days. Catch my drift? I obviously have plans for LYO to break to the downside and catch this break b/c of readings i have taken. Now, yes if...

    Here is my thought about LYO options: they are very tradeable and someone is probably eyeing up the march 30 calls for a sale but i don't have the skill level to trade LYO options. This is why i stick to the underlying. It was brought to my attention some time ago by a friend and i have been...

    LYO as a short candidate: Defensive stop zone $27.80-$28.30 Target zone $24 Underlying price $27.19 This trade is not for the risk averse. EDIT: As you may have already realized LYO cannot make it in this world netting $10 million per quarter--hurricane or not. However, lining up...

    Good eye on VZ ice with shades on too. VZ approaching completion of price crater as aforementioned. There is the gap in price(31.80-32.20) that i'm certain is driving some of this demand. As far as my trading/analysis goes this trade is over--all that is left is pulp, no juice(ST). I'd...

    Close that gap

    I like gaps. Market has weak knees. I can smell the fear.

    Keep looking then. My math teacher in ohio comment was rather amusing. And, how did you know my nuts are numb? Problem is realizing you are sitting on them. Thanks for the reminder!

    Interesting analysis cnms2. If you are inclined to trade AAPL you may want to decrease your time frame until there is a price breach in either direction(54 or 57.70). AAPL's price uptrend has a rather noticeable testing pattern here--we are in the process of testing the right shoulder(daily)...

    Ya know, i didn't. HUM reports next week(mon.). Volume is too low and spreads are too great to get fancy in HUM options(not that i can get fancy with derivatives yet :) ) It seems next week will be a good time to trade HUM. VZ has an interesting chart. Their earnings should go up is my...

    You may want to try Realtick. Any problem gets taken care of on the spot now. I think Realtick wised up and decided they don't want to be compared to the Utah company and looked upon as less than willing to continue with data after the Archipelago merger. Last year and in prior years you...
