    Taking Apple (AAPL) short

    AAPl this has to be the best trading stock ever why the H am I bothering with any other this is an ATM machine. I just wasted 5 months since I returned not trading it; then again I find you do better when you really get to know an underlying (stock's) personality- agreed?

    Taking Apple (AAPL) short

    going back into the early 90s I never wanted to play earnings Just doesn't fit with my personality and emotions. But in this case I should have figured that most people expected' up side and here it is at 399 AH; guess I should have figured that. But how could you gamble that it would not...

    Taking Apple (AAPL) short

    IF you held your position and are closing it AH I will buy you dinner in Chicago. I bought ONE Nov put just for the H of it. Be interesting to see if it makes me anything tomorrow as AAPL just now went from 392 to 405 in 20 seconds.

    Attention: I am now short!

    congrats on that. Good job in this wild market I am having trouble sticking with my convictions. Was long GS for about 2 weeks... waiting while it played musical chairs. Got frustrated. Then when it finally is time to ring the register I am exiting my Oct 95 and Nov 90/95/100c waaaaayy too...

    Attention: I am now short!

    this is a tough market to handicap... things are crazy. It's becoming exceedingly hard to outpace a computer. I can't even get a price entered before it changes. I try to close short calls on MNX and before I can even enter the price it's changed +70 on ask; it's insanity lately. It's been 6...

    Attention: I am now short!

    Do you guys really get off on criticizing other guys?? Why don't you put all that energy into making money for yourself. Ok, let's see your P & L for the week/month -- each time you make fun of someone who expresses any opinion about a trade or given direction. If you show me that you had the...

    Taking Apple (AAPL) short

    all observations are welcome - always like to hear diff views. The gap from Friday is suspicious, IF I wasn't so afraid of this stocks upward momentum last week or so, would have added more puts at 426. But maybe it actually does hit 450 up from 370 a few days ago. Maybe the bubble is back.

    Taking Apple (AAPL) short

    Redneck does AAPL typically fill gaps? What do you base that opinion on - just reviewing chart?? If so, then I want to add some itm puts. The problem with gaps if they do not fill immediately or next day, you don't know for sure -- when--! For example will AAPL first hit 450 and then...

    Taking Apple (AAPL) short

    you're right - that is the Q. By classic definition a double top (reversal) must be confirmed, simply trading to similar price levels does not constitute a double top. One thing about the potential DT pattern is reasonable symmetry between each high (top?). What I see as more compelling for...

    Taking Apple (AAPL) short

    yes +415p/-410p (started as -405p but took small profits in 405p) and rolled) and +425c/-435c Maybe leg out of 410p --- convert to put credit spread (i.e. sell front 420p --- and/or sell 425c if excessively large move/gap higher and convert to bear call spread.

    Taking Apple (AAPL) short

    AAPL is going to sell off next week. The 1M Q is: from what levels? I have bear put spreads and bull calls spread (front/otm) --- will convert accordingly into higher expectancy spreads once I see Monday action. Take profits as they come, and then see if I can catch a large down move by...
