Thanks I have been real sick the past two weeks - believe it or not. 103 fever and all last weekend. A friend of mine was questioning my sanity in trading - and actually making some decent money in 3 accounts - while sick as a dog. I told him it was delusional and yet in some ways I was...

sold 1 SOX March 555p @18.10 PnL -120 bought 2 of these ITM puts @16.70/19.30 - posted earlier. Then rushed into exiting one at 15.90 for a small -80 loss. Today they bid as high as 18.80 and SOX could trade lower still. For me it has always been often early/rarely wrong. Its just too...

+3 AAPL March 65c @ 3.70 low confidence on AAPL trades - this is an example of a non-intuitive trade. More like a gamble. But since I am short calls in other accounts I will hold these 7 AAPL calls atm/ITM calls into next week.

AAPL buying 6 AAPL March 65c @3.70 AMD buying 10 March 3750c @2.20

AAPL +4 March 6750c @235 day order buying 4 march 6750c @2 (short March 70/7250c in regular accounts at 2.50-2.80)

by the way - just realized I didn't reply directly you what you said. Yes I need some serious soul searching over the next couple weeks as I am leaving a months income on the table in a few days. IF I had held every trade I either posted on here and/or entered every trade I had planned in...

one more thing you know what it was on the chart that triggered that gut on AMD??? It was that AMD had traded back to the TL from 12/8/05 - 1/18/06-2/14/06 and I always look for these kinds of levels and re-tests and "patterns". TLs are a large part of my method. But not everyone can read...

bjdhawk look at my earlier post on AMD - today! I looked and saw the 4250 puts at 1.90 ask. I was all ready to click off a TEN lot since I got a very strong VIBE that AMD was heading to 40. Somehow I just "knew it" and you know what triggered it - something I read earlier on briefing...

next time ask yourself what the reason is you left too soon. IF it was a valid reason - (in your opinion - like going to a meeting etc.) then just go on to the next one. But IF not then figure out how to avoid it. Today I left 650 on table with EBAY - but that was not the faux pas. It was...

GOOG + 2 March 390c @6.60 (near LOD) once again patience pays off in waiting until GOOG traded back into gap. Patience is so important in trading once you have mastered the fundamentals. It then becomes almost all mental no different than in sports. order buying 2 March 390c @ 5.60

DNA day order adding 4 more DNA April 75c @9.80/9.60

you gotta question the beautiful mind of the person making this comments who then proceeds out of impatience to exit the march ITM calls almost 650 too soon in the a.m. trading hours, and with 2 weeks until expiry. Pass the meds! I did it because of a sub-conscious bias that EBAY could be...

AMD placed order earlier buying 10 March 42.50p @1.45 when offer was 1.90 (now bid @ 2.40) since I figured the puts would go to 2.55. Obviously my gut was right that AMD would be moved back to 40, and in hindsight I should have bought at market. But with only 10 I didn't think the r/r was...

OIH day order buying 6 OIH March 145p @3.50

this sucks! had to go out for an hour so I closed 10 Ebay 3750c $.60 cents to soon!! But hey what's another $600 in 45 minutes?! :eek: :eek: AND I didn't roll int oApril waiting for a PB. That infamous PB that never comes! a lot of good it does to be a great chart reader and...

sold 2 GOOG March 380c @ 14.60 PnL + 760 order buying 2 GOOG March 390c @410 EBAY sold 5 march 3750c @3.10 PnL +325 order selling 5 @3.40-3.50

INTC more great analyst calls by lazy overpaid bums who apparently don't do any homework when making these prognostications. Its an amazing sad fact of modern capitalistic culture how many of the most inept and incompetent can make the most dollars for limited or borderline results. Too bad...

INTC did not post it here but on Monday when APOL warned I was so pissed that I exited all 20 INTC July 2250 @.70 PnL +60 I will look to re-enter after the dust settles.

GOOG indicated +9 (but- can it hold until open?) + 2 March 380c @10.80 and looking to take profits at open of what we hope will be +750-900 (then roll into April 400 or March 390/370 IF GOOG pullbacks). I can't re-enter the 380c once I exit since that would be a 3rd day trade...

I was so pissed that I deleted APOL it from all quote providers and TWS, etc. and haven't looked at a chart since its warning. Apparently this is the second time in a row these jerks have warned. I should have been aware of that. But I just could not believe they waited until the last day of the...
