    VLO facing a trio of law-sutis, not to sure I want to sell vol on it even though it looks expensive. NOW is the best trade in my opinion. We are at all time highs and EVERYONE is bullish. I dont think there is a risk of a large gap to the upside. However there is a TON of tail risk here on the...

    We are currently just above break even on EBAY (stock @ 38.88) . Confrence call starting in 20 min. Can management pump this thing up? This could be a big winner!!

    Yikes, I was hoping to get out after a +/-$5 gap before 9.45. Intraday volatility has picked up quite a bit the last week, definitely do not want to hold on to this thing for to long!

    Yea they had a large move! Which is why the vol (in my opinion) is so steep! Yes I am long the 225/250/275 Fly for 12.95 risk. . What do you think about the EBAY play? The Atm straddle is just over $2. Pretty cheap, no?

    Long EBAY Straddles. Apr26 36.5 avg $2.28 I don't think there is any risk in this trade. I am short vol on ANTM. I have no reason to believe the current premium is justified. I have looked over the fundamentals/recent news and I cant find anything that will cause a large spike here! The margin...
