    AAPL: Buying the Dips!

    If you believe in the DCF models,AAPL is being priced at a 7% 10 year growth.Thats essentially how MSFT is valued. Not making a case for AAPL one way or the other,though it would appear it is getting "reasonably" priced... GOOG on the other hand:)

    I hear you.. I do realize it should probably be looked at in a theta/gamme realtionship as opposed to some "hard coded rule".. Are you almost alway net flat options when short gamma? Seems like everyone is long the wings

    Sorry,I wasnt clear.. If someone pays 2.50 for a 10 pt fly,most feel that they are risking 2.50 to make 7.50. The truth is,I almost never let a 10 pt fly go to more than 4-5 bucks. So,the R/R ratio is misleading in my case as I am paying 2.50 to make 2.50(selling the fly at 5). Do you...

    In reality,I never let flys go to more then half the max profit.So my real R/R is really 1 to 1. I typically trade flys as a cheap bet.I am in the AAPl Nov 50/60/70 for 50 cents..

    Help me out here. You get long the fly at 2.56 and kick it out at 2.75? Interesting.I typically do not get long flys where I am risking 2.50 to make 7.50. I see most of you guys have no problem with that R/R. Great thread.thanks T

    My view is AAPL goes out between 640 and 655 on 10/2. Dont have the balls to short the straddle,nor do I want to sit glued to the screen and delta hedge. The Oct/19 spread was long 1 650 call short 2 680 call... Whats MOE? thanks T

    Quick question for you guys Trading AAPL.. would you rather be long the 10/12 -10/19 650 call calender for 6.00 or long the 10/19 650 680 1x2 call spread for 5.40 I was in the 1 x 2,but am wondering if I am better off in the calender
