Who said anything about ATM options anyway? Point of a strangle is long OTM, maybe you should go to options 101. maybe you don't know how to read a chart. why don't you pull up the weekly 375 and 400 calls and same for august. Calls moved ahead of the stock on friday, stock rallied, big...

has nothing to do with hindsight, vol was low, options were priced cheaply and were pricing a small move, IV started jumping friday around noon and kept going, stock was obviously going to be bought going into earnings. Going long the day of earnings near the close when IV is highest is just not...

Apple options are in a whole other world. I've traded them for a while and no 2 scenarios are alike. Sometimes its great, sometimes its the worst thing ever.

He wouldn't have had to go out to aug although could have. But buying a strangle right before the close on apple with IV at a high point isn't smart. The smarter play on the weekly would have been to get in thursday or friday last week before the IV started to pop, would have made a significant...

weeklys were a steal on thursday. a lot are up over 300% look expensive now tho. Should see Vol drop after earnings unless they really surprise everyone

Seriously, who gives a f*#k what they say? Why should it have any effect on what goes on? These are the same agencies that slapped AAA ratings on every mortgage to hit the street and look how that turned out. Why don't they just remove them from even being able to continue as businesses instead...

Whats the best mobile platform for day trading options?

Why don't they let option markets trade during same hours as equities, such as pre/post market trading? Especially in heavily traded/liquid names. I think some of these premarket trades give an early unfair headstart to the markets, expecially for option traders. Any thoughts?

I beg to differ. I'm no fan of Goldman, but if it weren't for the I-banks, companies wouldn't get funding for projects and startups, so you're wrong. How do you think those projects get funded? Who puts together the bonds for construction? Unions in this country are abysmal, they are...

Let's say you have a collar on XYZ stock, say trading at 25/share, you have $20 puts and selling $30 calls. Hypothetical; stock gets bought out at $40 before exp. Whats the likelihood you get called away immediately? Do you think the call buyer would exercise? Would it be worth it to buy back...

Not hard to tell the profitable traders from the unprofitable ones on here, that's for sure. Can you say sour?

All of your statement's are worthless.

Who's worth more, Buffet or Trump? This board is hilarious. A forum about the stock market and trading and 98% of the posters hate trading and hate the stock market.

1.False 2.Millionaires are as common as Starbucks these days, and most consider themselves millionaires by net worth including the value of their home, even if they're still paying a mortgage. Calling yourself a millionaire becuase your home is worth a million is very different than having a...

I agree upside is not infinite, but as far as "competition" the same 'analysts' are the ones talking competition. Fact of the matter is that they have no competition. RIMM is dead, and the only reason why people mention android is to throw the headlines, but they sell all types of phones, apple...

I agree, not like I expect stocks to give handouts to traders or investors, but the opposite applies as well, a stock like apple shouldn't be trading so diseased considering they are pumping out $25+ billion a quarter. If the average price target is well over $400, it seems very odd that it had...

it's trading like its HQ is in greece and all the employees stopped working so they can protest. Hard to buy these dips when it just keeps dropping.

Apple been trading like absolute sh!t recently. Just lost all of its pizzazz. Very frustrating action. Just not the same stock it used to be. Way too much manipulation wether its good news, bad news or no news. I mean it hit 310.50 today with no news and the market is flat/up. Unless they made...
