“Begin at the beginning," the King said, very gravely, "and go on till you come to the end: then stop.” ― Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland

Of course. "In the long run we are all dead" 14 billion years age there was the BIG BANG. Tonight I will eat at Friday's with my wife and have the chicken and shrimp. To me.. the chicken and shrimp is far more important than the Big Bang... or Apple stock.

sorry about viktor...just put him on your ignore list. Mostly crackpots have better places to post than on one of my trading threads.

We all forget that before AAPL there was PALM and Blackberry. PALM is long gone... swallowed up in the disaster known as HP. Blackberry still exists but is losing money and trading at around $6.00 a share(BBRY). This despite the fact that Obama has been a famous BBRY user as was Hillary...

http://www.wsj.com/articles/fitch-downgrades-gap-to-junk-status-1462975520 This is the sort of thing that can push a troubled company over the edge. GAP debt is now junk status. Many funds etc. cannot hold debt that is less then investment grade. So GAP will need to pay higher interest rates...

Filled @ $45 This makes expectation: Expectation = .85(45) - .11(455) - .04(228) = 38.25 - 50.05 - 9.12 = - $21

"You pointed out a negative expectation on this trade" My computation of expectation is very approximate and -$31 is probably not really significantly different from zero. If you wait for a computed positive expectation to make a trade you will not get many trades. This is probably correct...

"anything can happen in 5.5 months" :) You see... that's the "hit and run" mentality of the typical option player. You fear the market because you have not taken the steps necessary to understand it. I just don't happen to use options in the hit-and-run model. What about people who deal...

well.. you could conceive of a scan that would find 'mispriced' options. I don't think it would work. The scan would have to be able to read the Wall Street Journal and Barron's but it might be a starting place. Mostly I first look for companies that are making projections that are believable...

Jimmyjazz: Let me add one other issue. On some occasions you will find that the market has 'unfairly' priced a stock because of news events and you find your spread threatened. In such a situation you will see that you have made money on the long put and lost money on the short put. The whole...

jimmyjazz: That's certainly a fair question. What the hell is it I am doing? You are right. The options I deal with ARE pretty fairly priced. But there is some space for profit. When I sell puts I play the roll of an insurance company. If I buy a house I can't risk having the house burn down...

Ever watch "everybody loves Raymond"?? Whenever Ray's big brother Robert gets a good one in on Ray, Ray will come back with something like how Robert's feet smell. Ray conceives of everything as a constant competition. I'm smarter than you, your feet smell... and on and on and on...
