i was thinking the opposite. short Nov long Oct. It looks like high Nov prices are already factored in. With energy selling off, it looks like there's more reason for Nov to fall than Oct to. Target of 7.50-8.00 for Nov, Oct hedge in place for hurricane risk.

Down .50 while oct is only down .18. looks like a good spread opportunity.

QG has its own little story - spot to future price interplay, strong momentum in trading (get out of the way until trends define), a tendency to overshoot, etc. I traded tonight as well, long avg 6.565. i think this dumping overshot - i'm expecting things to stabilize at least around...

I called $8.00 gas because of record withdrawals and a possible hurricane season. Now the story is different. I think $6.50-$7.50 will be the range (sorry, $3 gas is not in the cards unless a record warm winter builds up reserves higher - and you wouldn't possibly see that price until...

excellent thread. i've been really struggling lately trading nq and es --- I'd ideally like to enter once or twice a day, and get a good chunk out of the market. But I find that lately i'd probably be better off buying before market open, set a stop loss of maybe 5-10 points down, and...

well i went in with a small long 30 straddle (5 august 30), plus a bunch of august 25 puts. hopefully the price will hold or go higher from market open, so I can sell my calls. Then second (haha) hopefully the market will realize quickly this stock isn't worth much, then fade it down all...

give me a break.. there was some movement, albeit a little difficult to trade during. 12% movement isn't bad (of course I think there was more room for downside). beats HP today. Any thoughts will it be faded tommorow or continue up?

I'm selling my calls at market open tommorow and hoping for the best destiny for my puts.

the past movement of this stock looks questionable. very high PE. Earnings are tonight. Could it go down to 22-24 range ?? i bought 5 aug 30 straddles and 30 aug 25 puts this morning. Regardless of result, I think this thing will move. any thoughts?

next time I need this thread to go directly to my cellphone so I can buy mass puts in time. :)

Hey I bow in all respect to RM. but this thing looks to be similar. I'm amazed. Those calls are both SERIOUS dips. Serious serious amazing call. Thanks RM. I'll show you around San Diego next time you're around; I think I can show you a good time.

But there was no runup before earnings. And their PE ratio is in healthy territory.

compare the activity on both. crm has an over the top P/E ratio, has always come in -very- close for comfort on earnings reports, and with the economy's behavior as of late, may do poorly. The stock has really overshot as late, as well. It only takes a penny below expectations for a serious...

What are your thoughts on CRM (salesforce.com) ??? same story??

Did anyone see the 60 minutes interview with Ahmadinejad this week? Forget hurricanes and Nigeria ... this is big. The guy is sharp too -- I wouldn't trust him due to some of his anti-semetic rhetoric, but I can't deny he has a little more going on up there than perhaps Bush. The...

With this PPI, we're back on track to 1.29. BTW, that 50k position I had at 1.2885 was margin called out by accident the next day around 1.2862. I held too much other stuff... :) That was one time where margin call saved me a little. The dollar strengthening on the terrorist scare was...

i'd wait until the petroleum status report on Weds. there might be more downside.

short straddle? hahahah... a trade like that would be as close to russian roulette as you could get.

that would make my day. hopefully it happens before august expiration ... if not .. i'll have to renew forward to Sep. :) but may do it in straddle form again. apple works well with straddles.

we're both amazed with its strength. It feels like the market as a whole is finally acknowledging a switch to bear mode, and yet no big selloff you'd expect.
