VLO reaching st top

VLO well it made it to 52.55 - we still got some time this week for it to hit 53 ---- as I opined. Nice day trade off today's lows--- I did not take the trade however as I have enough VLO on the plate -

NTES order buying (4) NTES Feb 55p @ 2.75 (will look to scale into 10) then sell Jan 55 or 60p.

classic time to "sell on good news" -- non? after the initial madness? thanks for the heads-up! might look to get long some AAPL Jan 80c - and then spread with Jan 75c have a good 2006 r/arb -

NTES bought (4) March 60c @2.95 GTC order buying (4) @ 2.55 will enter 10-12 total @ <3 then sell ratio of January 60 or Feb 65c on mark up as I expect beginning 1/2/2006 - although given the gap lower it may take some time before NTES gains traction and begins moving >60-62...

"everyone and their mother is expecting....rally this week " on what do you base that statement?

just interested in another opinion --- did you consider lifting the 140p leg today on the gap to new intra-day high- looking to re-sell it IF (when) PD (likely) reversed off the opening gap-- or is that too "iffy" a proposition? It has worked for me well sometimes - and it is tantamount to...

PD looking to add shorts--- as I posted on another thread, it would be best to await a "key reversal day" before entering/adding PD shorts (via puts in particular) -- Well although volume wasn't much- being year end - today we did have an outside reversal day with a lower close. So...

ANF awaiting a short entry as mentioned a week or so ago-- actually at the time I was going to play the 65 (call) calendar - but stock never traded >65 during Dec expiration - I got a gut feel this stock gets hammered back to <60 after Friday...! In fact today's high was not a bad entry. I...

thanks for the reply r/arb -- just an old habit I guess that has seemingly worked many many times- but no way will I argue with your comments when it comes to options --- however many times it seems the tail will do/does a large % of the wagging as we near expiry. --- b.t.w. I mean that...

well--- damn it anyway-- was trying to wait until 1/2/2006 before adding many more positions - but think this is one trade I should have taken --- just didn't hit anywhere near my intended entry price on the 85 puts - and didn't like the Feb90c/85c last week. So now if and when it trades...

so far no posiiton in COF thre is a possibility I may 'regret' not entering Jan 85p @.80 today--- :D Frankly I think selling Jan 85c may have been a decent play near today's highs

bought 3 COP Feb 55p @ 1.17/ sold 3 COP Jan 57.50p @1.23 will add 2 more -- then --- will look to exit my +5 Jan 57.50c bought @ 1.85 - for >$2 reverse direction and sell them short -- ratio 1.6/1 -while intending on keeping remaining -5 Jan 60c sold @ 1.23 until expiration. looking...

did you keep the VLO Jan 52.50p... ?

closed all 52.50c --- (.90) placed order to re-sell Jan 52.50c for .50 higher - and --- to sell Jan 50c if I can get >2.45 still long Feb 55p and short the Jan 52.50p- and +stock (ratio 1/2 Feb 55p) don't think VLO will see 48 - but could trade < 50 -- and its not impossible...
