well--- looks like my "read" on VLO was correct so far - mulit_option you gonna stick with the bull spread - ? Maybe you can repair it with the front 50p. (have a suggestion for your next front month spread - I will PM you with my thoughts)

I doubt "uninvited_guest" was correct about much - as all he seemed to do was criticize others without putting his own ideas out there for public scrutiny. In 2006 - I hope (intend) to be able to update this Journal in more earnest with consistency and indicate pnl as you suggest. right...

you're welcome m/option lofty goal you have for 2006---- but why not aim high! good "luck" in achieving the goal! (by the way - please don't hesitate to PM me if you ever have an excellent trading idea you're willing to share- & I will reciprocate) :D

at this time I am looking for a pin <52.50 --- I am also long Feb 55p after selling Jan 55p for +4 (almost) and then rolling into Feb 55p (which are in the red by $1+ albeit VLO stock is higher). However when I sold said Jan 55p I rolled into 52.50p when VLO was nearing 51. The stock was...

You ever have time to do any reading after the market closes-- are do you have more important things to do -- and expect others to give you all the answers? In other words-- if you're not willing to work really hard, particularly in the beginning -- try something else. In the final...

It seems like only yesterday we were concerned about Y2k and had so-called pundits predicting a catastrophe with the world's computers going into a new millennium. I recall like it was yesterday the day madmen ran planes into the WTC. I recall Spring of 2000 out in AZ at the EL Tovar Hotel with...

I did not enter AAPL 80c yet - the intent/plan was to thereafter leg into a bear spread -- perhaps at the 75 or 70c -- on any large move in underlying- looking to get, i.e. 4 or so ---on jan75c --- thereby getting as close to neutral as possible- even though I would then plan on taking delivery...

good points - sounds like you are clear on what works for you. welcome -- bonne chance in 2006 ! b.t.w I recently limped w/J 6 in position - flop came K J 6-- I raised 4X BB - re-raised 8X - I then pushed all in- 2500 and was called - K6 vs. J6. I lost and was out of the tourney...

:D was wondering how you got 1.15... ? so depending on what price you sold MG for-- do you/would you ever consider lifting that leg -- on a large pop like @ the open today-- then look to re-enter and narrow spread debit? ICe :cool:

HUM selling HUM Jan 55p @ 1.60 already +5 Hum Feb6 50 p @ .90 then will look to get "cute" and leg into Feb 55p if we get a bounce back to >55 on HUM as I "expect". Obviously my order buying HUM Feb 55p @ 2.10 isn't lookng to get filled. Yesterday I could have bought Feb 55p @ 2.35...

didn't it make a new high this morning-- but you mean closing high I presume? Probably waiting for a 'key' reversal would maximizxe the timing of any entry-- for all of us -- perhaps we will get it today or Tuesday. Let's look for a lower low at the close. Don't expect to see it before the...
