theoretically primum already factored in the options. so it does not affect the premium after the didveed. but in reality, I studied the case last friday SPY/QQQ divedend day. ES friday morning gapped up, SPY gapped down, but its call does not move or a slightly lower than it should be...

bought some puts on FB this week when it hit my 50days EMA. works magically. the share-lock up period will pass, FB may be just signles in next several months.

if you have a vision, can see the daily bar breakout before everyone does, buy OTM. if you have a day trading vision, or minute bar, buy ITM and day trade Options (buy the one whose strike near to current market), do not buy too deep, otherwise some adversary happens, you lost big. if OTM...

looks there is immeadiate war. first, china was once defeated badly by Japan, they want revenge.maybe just use this as an excuse. second, china may want to change its standing, may want to chanllege the already defined rules, particulay u.s. leadership, they think they are powerful...

my gain on EXM almost 50%. It works really well. the street starts to realize it is undervalued if EXM will not belly up and survive. most likely it will not. based on this fact, easily it will print 1bucks up.

plus most people have misconception about time decay. they think because of time decay they lose if they use long timeframe. they do not realize this is only true if the market after a long period of time, it does not move. as you know, market just has two directions, either up/down...

I am a retail trader. on the contrary, 1. I just buy calls/puts 2.Never care about spread, butterfly, delta,greek, IV... never want to kknow 3. I care about the direction, just as jessie livermore said, big money is in the trend, not in the market makers' fluctuations, those just noises...

Warren Buffet bought chuck shares of FB? I suspecet. why? warren buffet likes to buy low, he thinks FB is highly undervalued. in 2013 annual release, you will notice the biggest holders of FB is warren buffet beyond insiders. He is an investor, not a trader. in 2025, FB stands at...

no one cares about your stop loss,so does the market. in another word, stop loss is your choice. not the market asks you to. if you turn your account into cash account, no one will have any control on what you are doing. your brokage will not force you out a position because of its paper...

trading rule one: never think about stop loss. very critical. find the right vechicles which do not need stop loss. if you do not use margin, then you do not need stop loss at all. no one will force you out. let the market corrects, if you are wrong, do not panic, hang on, wait a good...

I find penny stocks very attractive. it has one feature: like option kind of cheap , i.e., with high leverage but does not need margin. in another way it is far better than option, most time if you look carefully, they are highly liquid, not like option, even you see a trade, but low...

just worthless, it is september 21 expiration. compared to my big winner in KBH, and my BZH september in my retire acount, I am far ahead and just laugh. a great week. bought 10k EXM stocks with no expiration, intially though to buy some 0.05 1 call, but feels if I do not time it...

looks EXM will rock to 1+, just think it as option. if EXM belly up, EXM worthless. the good part is it has no defined expiration date, that is what I like most. any thoughts, already jumped 10%+. I noticed huge volume up, then around 0.5~0.6 seems no volume, kind of setup to run up.

you are right. just a suppose. since I feel weird about the price difference for puts/calls, then in this morning I noticed ES shoot 5points, that equals to 0.5~0.6 move in SPY, I noticed spy is red and there is roughly 0.6 point gap. the good thing is I did not buy any spy calls/puts, my...

after I closed my september calls, though I bought a little bit early, get to laugh, my october 13/14/15 calls of KBH shoots to moon, some tripled, some doubled even more. looks KBH will head to 20+ pretty quickly. get to buy some more of 17/18/19, this train really is a winner.

good clear explaination. but how about suppose: I bought some call yesterday for SPY 146 at 0.6 in the closing, but today SPY opened at 146.0~146.2 because of divendend. in this case I lost? am I right? when the market opens, my calls will be around 0.0~0.2? or in the contrary, how about...

any one has a good explaination about divendend and option. I noticed today SPY gapped down like 0.6 point, but ES holds. I suspect it is SPY didvend. actually I already noticed this dicrancpany about PUT/call. the put is more expensive than the call. I bought some spy calls, in the...

only made some on EGO. I lost all my puts in CDE. there is no bid at all. EGO bailed me out with some gain, I bought some 16 at 0.25 (yesterday). big loser in CHK too, all lost no bid any more. CDE sometimes show bid, not bother to close, just wait to see tommrow how it works. the good...

I have so many examples in my mind, it is hard for me to reverse my view. I feel I am sturborn. several weeks ago, I was thinking to buy FSLR 27 calls (FSLR after earning, thrusted almost doubled,obviuosly in the chart it is going up). then one day it dropped 5+points, almost removed all...

CDE/EGO performs weird. looks they are in a pullback (range band), and I do not buy pullback (lots of pullbacks just reversals). USO is a good example. USO's drop reminds me: CDE/EGO 's drop is just around the corner. I think lots of CRUDE buyers in this week get crushed. do not trade...
