Oh, I'm not eager to short spooz here at all! We got sharp May selloffs three years in a row, and I wasn't going to get long going into May. I wouldn't get short though unless we saw some kind of confirmation, which is the exact opposite of what we have now. And Trendlover, ADT is a pure...

In case you're wondering how to pull this off: The key is to bring up this philosophy up-front, within the first week or two, when your relationship with her is just starting to get serious and nailing other chicks is the farthest thing from your mind. It helps a lot to pick someone who grew up...

Great list, but there's one more thing to add: <b>How he makes her feel about herself.</b> This is important. While it's always best (for karma's sake at least) to make her feel good about herself, some of the sleazier guys are adept at picking up one night stands by doing the exact opposite...

I can't resist sharing my somewhat unconventional philosophy here. One of the truest axioms ever spoken was Chris Rock's brilliant observation: "A man is as faithful as his options". Some guys have both money and 'game', i.e. the ability to say the right 'panty dropping' type words at the...

ADT back up to $42.30. In case you guys don't know what to do... SHORT IT HERE!

I covered a third of the Jan '14 puts, and also rolled the strikes down on the June bear spread as I mentioned before. I think you know how I intend to play this going forward- reduce size on sharp drops, and add size on bounces...

Seriously though, I've long said that you gain far more life experience and wisdom from your failures, not your successes. And this should be common sense, but I should let ya'll know that I'm NOT going to hold that ADT June 48/44 put spread for 7 more weeks, just to squeeze out the last few...

HFT dudes are fast approaching my personal 'most hated list', vying to take their place among the Islamaniacs, politicians, frivolous lawsuit industry professionals, racists, and narcs...

Hey, we're all securities industry professionals here- We're not <b>supposed</b> to be mature, responsible adults. :D

As satisfied as I am with ADT, my timing in gold was in fact lacking. I started putting on small gold bear positions a few minutes ago below $1450, but it looks like I missed the top... if that was the top. Also, I hope Surf comes back soon. I get how harsh critics/trolls can run a dude off...

Now that I have another minute to post stuff: Daring, you really do have a point- but maybe not as strong a point as you might think. Time decay isn't all that bad on such distant options, plus the fact that I can't predict the BIG drop as well as I can predict the drop from top of the (former)...

Levitation, growth or lack thereof always trumps value! The second earnings growth goes into reverse you'll REALLY see this one get pounded.

Thanks! ADT current price= $40.85. I already took some off the table at all sorts of prices. Samsara- You get me, I like that. Daring- You've got bigger balls than AC/DC (but are probably too young to get the reference). I respect that.

Why, thank you good sir! :D I probably sounded the same way he does, back when I was young and relatively ignorant.

HFT, huh? I reckon we don't like your kind around here, boy. :p

It worked three years in a row- Sharp May selloffs in 2010, 2011, and 2012. Will we go for #4 in a row?...

OK, I'm gonna cut you some slack and assume that this is the first time you've ever encountered a trader mixing time-frames on one single position, which is a pretty advanced concept after all. So even though both trade categories are the same basic thing (=ADT bear positions), there are two...

Bingo!

I see what you mean, but in this case I'm only intending to hold my 'best size' for very short time periods, and only while it's near the range-top. As soon as it even gets down to mid-range I start reducing. I'd never expect to have 'best size' on when and if I get the desired plunge.

1a2b3cppp, I'd like to buy your course and make tons of easy money. Do you accept paypal? You know what, never mind. I'll just give you my MasterCard number right here: It's 5401... hold on, I have to take an important call from my good friend in Africa. He's royalty, a devout Christian, and has...
