not totally but greatly reduced in a couple accounts - maybe 2-3 trades. Lots of AAPL combos time spreads etc., some EBAY/QCOM straddle/NTES/VLO/MNX/SOX/GOOG/CME/TTWO/IMCL/BBY positions when I began the series 7 studying. Do you trade?

OIL/QM well I am looking to short oil agan today. Have no fricking idea why it is going straight up but I think we are near a decent st short opportunity. OIH 145c time spread @2.65 (may/april) already short April 140/135P/long 130p @ +2.45 will seek to close 135p today @<1 and...

AAPL Anyone wish they had these tax problems???! :p Not exactly a turbo tax return for Jobs! Amazing that some people in the USA don't even have basic health insurance or food and medicine, yet so many like Jobs could fill a large swimming pool with disposable cash. SAN JOSE...

the answer I picked to the above was breakeven is at 25 the day before expiration since the option has not expired yet and all over choices but one were totally off and the other potential and obvious answer (28) asked one to assume they had collected the total of $3 from the put sale -- an...

heard you did well- congrats! just noticed the recent average national score is 73%, and only 66% pass this test. So guess it's fair to say 89-90% is bragging-rights territory! :p Honestly thought I was so prepared that a 95-100 was doable; but after seeing the frustrating obscure and...

thanks bjd! a couple months on and off studying, and then I stepped it up during the final week. If you ever decide to take this test here is some advice I was given today from someone I met who had just finished taking a portion of the CFA exam at the same time (he needed a drink worse than...

here's an example of a meaningless (and unclear) question from today's series 7 test. Now what knowledge does this question test? It is a purely trick question in my view. "short XYZ stock at 25 and thereafter sell a January 20 put at 3. On the day BEFORE expiration, what is the investor's...

Series 7 Day Damn IT! I am so disappointed! I wanted to get a 95+ on the series 7 test I took today (6+ fricking hours) but I only got 89!! EIGHTY NINE!??? That sucks! Hope I can still be a member of ET, Baron! :confused: Guys, this was a hard test. Not because of the material...

GOOG is that a misprint on GOOG? :-) looks likely that my (short) 380p (and in this account) my long 350c are going to yield some cash tomorrow if the nasd MMs and the shorts don't find some way to manipulate GOOG lower overnight. :D :D Of course the shorts will all be limping around...

NDX this market is getting crazier every month ! It's not a market anymore- its a giant arbitrage MOSH PIT with the large option scum players wagging the dog! But in other accounts I did sell my SOX April 500 and May 510c at highs on the day - and luckily was able to convert my short SOX...

AAPL 2202 April 60c crossed @5.10 (5b/510a) (dont know if it part of spread, late print or a close)

the sooner you lose those feelings and look at it strictly as a (tough) business --- the better you will do. I saw a repeat of an interview with Mark Cuban last night, and I agree with what he said about success: "many have the will to win--- but few have the will to work and prepare" ...

sounds like great wild kinking SEX bro! Ice :cool:

Totally back to health! Now feel 110% finally after 3+ weeks!!!!! If you ever feel like bitching about things just remember that without your health nothing really means squat to any of us anyway!! Nothing like a 103.5 fever and potential pneumonia to give one perspective on life! :-) A lot of...

SOX On March 1st I bought 2 SOX March 555 Puts @18 (and posted them on this Journal). Then I sold them at 18 on March 2-3 after holding down them to 12.50 bid. I must be losing brain cells or seriously need a long vacation (after suffering through a 3 week flu/cold bug which is gone finally)...

its hard for me to believe that if you have any meritorious cause of action that you would come on a public trader forum and publish that you are about to sue a certain specific person/business and then claim that you can't provide details unless and until you actually file same. So what you...

still fighting this absurd 'cold" and/or sinus b.s. Hard to get rid of it once it gets a grip on you in the Chicago cold, snow, low indoor humidity and less than optimal indoor air quality. Not gonna post for a few days so I can take it easy, think less, sleep more and get rid of this once and...

you are right Neoxx... I think he did say that! good luck on your diagonals

thoughts to ponder over the weekend: In this game, the market has to keep pitching, but you don't have to swing. You can stand there with the bat on your shoulder until you get a fat pitch --Warren Buffett The true speculator is one who observes the future, and acts before it occurs...
