COP going to buy 16 COP Jan 57.50c @ 2 - hopefully tomorrow -- as I look for stock to trade near 57.50 - --- if not, plan is to buy at market near close of day.

b.t.w. --- for anyone trading VLO trading split adjusted tomorrow - 2/1

IMCL traded 200 IMCL bought @ 30.90 in AH when it tanked - this stock tends to get 'manipulated in the AH' - don't know why. sold @ today near highs @ 32.70 +360 I'm keeping an eye on IMCL for an entry <30 -- I believe it will trade back >35

right now (12/14/05) I'm sitting here nursing short VLO Dec 110c- will they expire @ -0- ? I may sell some Dec 110p - buy Jan looks like VLO dec 100c will expire -0- yeahh baaabby :D did sell 1/3 size VLO 110 puts @ 1.70 and bought + Jan 110p @5.30 debit = $3.60 also went long...

looks like VLO dec 100c will expire -0- yeahh baaabby :D did sell 1/3 size VLO 110 puts @ 1.70 and bought + Jan 110p @5.30 debit = $3.60 also went long VLO Jan 120c @ 1.45 - will likely keep it directional --- then convert into bear spread. -- best would be for VLO to pin @...

sold 4 mnx MW (Jan06 180p) @ 1.80 +4 mnx MX (172.50p) @3.80 - 4 mnx MW (167.50p) @1.80 - $2

just a hunch based upon the open interest near the 70 strike and all the front month 75 calls - with a paucity of puts. also -- over the years -- expiration week (particularly triple witch) has been a very good time for this kind of counter-trend 'surprise ' move - and a surprise downgrade...

too good to be true? LOL

darn-- I thought they were 21 !!

:D :D yes-- the order is below the market -- to take into account possible expiration at 65 this week - I may have to tweak my price a little. and yes- I am "scaling" into ANF puts seeking a profit from a reversal in trend on the underlying - now, whether I keep them as a directional...

huh ? sorry?? these are Jan

ANF GTC order to buy 15 ANF Jan 65p @ 2.50 - looking for ANF to trade to >$65 this week

MNX just entered +4 mnx MX (Jan06 172.50p) @ 3.80 will look to add after Friday then - leg into mnx MW (167.50p) @ >$2 already have position in + 10 Jan 170 Puts (3.60) - 10 Dec 170p (2.20) -$1.60 closed 1/2 dec 170p @ .55

MNX look at the size that crossed on Jan 170 Puts = 5500 Dec 170p = 3500 @.70 and on mnx AL (Jan 170c) = 3500 take a look at the volume on those strikes today-

pin could be 30!!

I am wrong- only 2600 puts,8400 calls

I am wrong- only 19o0 puts

what is the 'plan' - "make as much as I can?" Or-- is there a reason for buying that strike---- such as --- SBUX is heading to <30 so puts will ltrade at >2.50 and if so- is the R/R worth it with 2 days to go?
