weak open, think market is still in hold pattern not quite able to trust the bailout plan yet after the back and forth last week. ES only up a few points. Not much action going on, i am going to play warhammer instead :P

i would be very careful trying to short the financial after the bailout. You may wanna wait a few weeks first.....

lol :p an even bigger joke is citi is looking to buy wb. That's like 2 drunk trying to hold each other up...

do you know what buffett bought? will you get 10% a year interest with your common shares of goldman? and zero premium options.

the stock gapped down $25, what do you expect. If you are making a directional long play, you are fucked no matter what your trade is.

edit: doesnt look like a selloff into the closing is happening today. It will actually be good if we sold off a bit today to around 1180, then if the bailout is done. the rubberband will bounce back twice as hard.

but dagnyt speaking purely on volatility, in this case the IV/HV really isnt that bad. If you look at the IV today, it didnt "crash". I didnt plug this into my model, but if rimm moved a few dollars UP, the IV would dropped more, however i think FF still could made money. What i am saying...

where is the earning guidance? can someone paste. all i see is share buyback

ok monday, thanks.

that's what i wanted to know, when they will be relisted so i can close out my positions to get my cash for the weekend play. But looks like it's at the discretion of the brokerage, there is no set rules for the timeframe i guess. The question wasnt if they will be worthless or not, that's a...

lol are you guys kidding.... also what about if you have a short position on the calls? so long nov put short nov call what will happen to them.

i have some nov puts as part of a strangle that i want to cash in. but it says the stock is no longer trading, and optionsxpress wont let me sell the puts. When can i get rid of those contracts to get my money? the support just says the stock is not trading so options are not either. thanks

out 1198, will reenter if it falls to necktie again in 1194, stop 1192 out again 1196.25

long 1196. stop 1192 headings towards necktie support on 10,15min, and 200ma on 1min edit: support not resist, cant type today

ops yes strangle, not straddle. That's usually a bad play right now as you will be against high iv and theta decay. But i am betting on a big move in either direction by next week that will overcome the 2 negatives. If this fails to be true (market doesnt move), i will exit. That's my stop...

everyone will be thinking that, so it may start at the 2-3pm turn point. i have finished building my position by legging into 1130 1250 strangle, with a bias on upside. Will be holding this over the weekend. One must be crazy to hold anything over the weekend that has the potential of...

that's a given, but how do you know the deal will get signed soon? it looks very unlikely before market close today, and even during the weekend is in doubt. Market is just hanging on still with the hope of a deal by market open next week, when reality comes home and the hope is gone it will...

never seen a more confused market lol. 1188 and 1200
