Now the suckers who lost their money in shorting when it was going up and then again lost money in buying when GOOG was going down will start to buy to make themselves victim for a third rape:p

looks like your gamble paid off: those c are quoted @3.80/4.00 now nice trade Bitstream : I liked your post . It looked a pure gambling to me too but it made sense for that low premium. Now I believe that it is a good time to short or buy March PUTs for 340.

When I said it will close below 350, it was already at 360. I believe today shorts were caught by a correction that I felt it is happening two days ago. Shorts were caught as longs were caught when it dropped. I think it will gradually give back its gain till tomorrow. The guy who bought calls...

Having said that, I still believe GOOG will close below 350 by option expiry date.

did you read the latest edition of Barron's on GOOG? I wouldn't buy it.... Did you also read his interview on Marketwatch yesterday? He said my article was old and when I said that GOOG was at 475 and blu blu blu.....

uh? what on earth are u gonna do with those calls, expiring in few days? The premium u paid is gonna go f**k even if the common is gonna kiss the strike at exp: theta pressure will make sure that they won't gain a dime. waste of money. Definitely he knows that he is a kind of gambling and if...

I see GOOG is bottoming and I believe it is a good short time buy. 350 Feb calls are pretty cheap now. My strategy: 1- Either buy the stock at this level or Buy Call 350 for Feb and sell Call 360 Feb.

My gut feeling says that GOOG is a buy now. INTC is a buy too. But definitely GOOG might be more profitable in short term. Now it is about $345

This thread makes me appreciate Ameritrade. They give me 4 business days to fix any margin call You can not compare IB with Ameritrade. I had an account with Ameritrade. I can talk hours why Ameritrade is one of the worst brokers for active traders. When they give someone 4 days to solve his...

I've just heard so many bad things about IB's customer service. Why do you need customer service? Are you one of those traders who put an order and then start calling them to see what happened to your order?

I sold naked put for INTC for March at $2.4. When I go long INTC at these levels , I am not expecting $10 profit in a week. As someone said $19 to $25 is a safe range and If my nake PUTs expire worthless, I would be happy and if they are assigned, I will be happy to be long on INTC. If I am long...

Here's a basic question. As I leg into various positions I've noticed that the margin requirement for a simple protective Put is usually about 10% of the stock value. (Buy 100 shares, buy 1 ATM Put) Of course this changes as the underlying moves. I'm just referring to initial conditions...

I used to enter my orders manually in a spread sheet for my tax but this year I decided to use Quicken so that it will be easier to download it into Turbotax. It seems that I have problem doing that and I need help. Now my questions are: Are there any software that is commonly used by traders...

You are watching too much 24 :D

hajimow, How about those couple Feb 360 puts that were sold for $3.50? Have you covered them yet? I tried to avoild answering this question but I knew it would come :( I still have them but I sold Call 400 @ 2.6 to reduce the damage. Now I hope for GOOG to go up :eek:

And I covered my Short at GOOG at 366 today with a good profit.

I am still holding on my short. Now who is the man? :D I was right on my conspiracy theory.

I have heard a rumor that some big tech mutual funds are dumping their AAPL and GOOG shares and buying INTC. Since I have almost the same position in my account that made sense to me and I bought that rumor. Has anyone else heard such a rumor? Do you think it is a good strategy to sell two...

If we know what the MM is doing and what he has to do. Is there any way to screw him and benefit? LOL.I like these kind of bold and annovative questions. Another way of asking this question maybe is "Does ever a MM lose money? " :confused:

Maverick: I don't remember that I have got upset from anyone on this message board. Actually I enjoyed your inputs. Once again I did not buy your option rotation theory (because I did not understand it) and I believed that the main reason that GOOG went up was psychology. People considered...
