I am curious what the reason was to do this trade and why on NFLX? Is this one you are very familar with? Or was it just like walking up to a slot machine and finding the one with the nicest colors, sounds and potential jackpots? It would be helpful if you can articulate the reason for this...

-1 is too ambiguous to make a call; that sounds neutral. You had a -5 on BIDU as I recall prior to this stock (SINA) taking off. Both are in similar space. I took the stock short over the weekend - allowed short front week calls to exercise. I have long calls and short puts. May work out...

thanks for taking the time to reply... that's good info and 'advice'. I don't need a stock like this when I see it up 14 and BIDU, SOHU, COYU etc are not even moving. After this last month (when it dropped from 116 high to 68 n a week or two) I should have actually realized what you are saying...

That's why I trade it... just caught me completely by surprise since all other Chinese stocks have not and did not move (much) this week; have to get a news feed. Didn't think I needed it when I came back to dabble in trading in July. I should have checked the news immediately when I saw the...

AAPL cold go lower next week. It could go <390 easy. But why jump in now OTHER THAN via put options or bear call spreads? Once again I got out too soon on AAPL calls. This stock is becoming like an ATM machine. Only my rational mind can't fathom these large moves in such a short time with all...

Did it again overnight long Oct14 410 calls at 2.18; sold at 7.10 rolled immediately into Oct21 420 calls @9 sold for another 1.40; both not far from highs so far today. Now : +Oct21 425c -Oct21 435c +Oct21 415p - Oct21 405p gonna try...

I actually made a few dollars buying Oct14 410 puts the other day expecting gap to close. I traded it 3xs and got lucky. However now I have a backspread long at 405/410 It just seems that the 4Q is not a time to short the strongest performing tech stock. It could have a sell-off in October...

you're obviously smarter than me. But who the H would dream it would have this move. No indications. To add to it my dumb brain sold my long SSfutures at 84.30 (don't ask why because that would require me to actually have some sane reason) or plan to articulate! The original "plan"/idea was to...

I have had it with this joke of 'stock'. One week it's down to 65 on some BS about chinese government regulation and then a week or two later it goes to 90+ from 78 yesterday on some more BS about some speech by some clown in china about regulation. I will never trade this piece of garbage...

do not take the Series7 lmao

I was long (4) Oct14 385c overnight (weekend) @2.03 avg. and (2) Oct14 395c @.67 Sold to soon today... hoping AAPL fills the opening gap by Friday so I can get back in and not f-ck it next time, by selling too soon :-) gotta say; it's hard to think AAPL is a short here, OTHER THAN closing...

I didn't take the risk -- the OP did! lol I don't catch falling knifes any more. I agree with you

The reasoning was that the VIX was at a absurdly high level... and, albeit it "could" have gone higher and higher still..... the "probability" was that we would have a quick, fast, sharp reversal of trend.... not a slow, gradual one like you mention..... that happened in the old days; when I...

+10

bravo!! hope you didn't get impatient and sell too soon (like I tend to do) .

who says that it is a "trend" ?? Prove it to me that it is a trend. What I mean is this: when I studied at the CME I was taught there is not just ONE trend - hotshot. There are ST trends, intermediate term trends and LT (major) trends. Further in this 'shell game' of a market that we...

... are you still laughing hotshot prick

hey HOTSHOT --- are you STILL laughing ???! You're a real genius N54

as I was saying....... Anyone looking to short this week?
