was short a lot of SOX calls... was pleasantly surprised that we sold off! Of course expiry isn't over yet for us morons who hold overnight... :eek: further I bought some EBAY near LOD, and VOILA it hasn't moved a muscle since... ... so I think I'm going to start a trading chat...

anyone else stalking this one? Can't do it during triple witch expiry... while its in manipulation mode.. ... but thereafter I'm gonna look to enter ITM puts.

I was actually wondering about that too? I mean it was my thought that markets only go ONE direction. But... I guess they don't................ they go up AND down. Wow I was beginning to worry. Ice :cool:

well.... I'm going to scale into some July and August puts... in various accounts... with a fairly tight leash... and expect to be early as always. Going against the 'trend' but its a bit long in the tooth... non? And "hopefully" will be able to time spread them against June premium. Rememebr...

is it Memorial Day this Monday? :D :D

well its pretty simple.... give a straight answer the first time, be aware of an acute problem like this with popular/major index options (not have to talk with 4+ people and "argue" until they concede there IS a problem), and have ONE person handle the matter... maybe, just maybe... even call...

you can't see all the positions... and this means with IB's system you cannot trade the options online. I take very small positons with IB since 1). I don't trust there sub-optimal marginning and 2) there are too many tmes this kind of b.s. glitch can occur as they continue to add more and...

it is now 11:40 Chicago time and IB's crackerjack technical guys were still unable apparently to have the open option positions in SOX 430 calls appear on the screen; meanwhile the SOX has reversed off the lows and I was unable to properly make a decision on closing these and/or rolling and or...

... customers who have semiconductor index options (SOX) have no positions showing up on their position screen. Can you believe this? But as many already know, when you call them they are not aware (at 8:50 CT) that there is an issue. So you are placed on hold several times. Then you are told...

thanks for the input... good analysis. I am real happy with my play lately, but so many suck-out from outrageous hands that it's almost inexplicable to handicap the crap play of some players online. I have been calling guys down last four days, and if it was on TV I'd be a modern poker...

Here's two for the books. I can't recall being so outraged particularly the first hand ( 2/4 table - NL) 1. Ice = pocket Ks in M1 field reduced to one other player across from me shorthanded game. Flop is x x Ah. 4th is also a small heart A-hole is betting big but I have a...

sometimes on certain tables what you say is right, and this guy had a big night... taking down the largest pot of the night after I left the table and was observing... in fact for a smaller table it was one of the biggest pots you'll see in a while (400bb) This after he had a drawdown of...

thanks for all the feedback/analysis. Unfortunately I didn't spend enough time looking this hand over i.e. post-mortemm as occurred to me when you asked for position etc. So one thing I just "learned" is (obviously) the value of going over certain key hands in more detail to discover ways to...

I raised 3x BB on A/K in late/he was in front of me/middle/ring game/chips about even I raised 2x pot on turn (8d) and he re-raised all his chips. Having nut flush draw with high pair/kicker, I called. If I had more chips maybe I'd have come over top and lost more, or perhaps he would have...

just read this tonight.... great reply. appreciate your comments. Had a couple great days. Then tonight I am in with Ks/Ac and flop is 2/A/9 all spades... so I (semi) slo play. Guy starts raising me, so I call thinking I'm setting him up. Fourth comes with an 8d. I have the nut flush draw...

what's the saying: an "overnight success" takes like 10 or more years... something like that....!

perhaps he trusts himself more than you trust yourself? To me that is the key. ICe :cool:

Looking good Billy Ray... Feeling good, Louis!! :p

Friday the 13th! Does the rally end today ? Doesn't look like it so far... getting tough to find reasons to continue this rally which is exactly why I think it will! (i.e. NDX) IcE :cool:

:D well why not just say the put is $25 or 60? I mean to illustrate something shouldn't one use "realistic" values for the puts and calls they propose to sell? Ice :cool:
