Doesn't expire until tommorrow, conceivably AAPL could have dropped several dollars after hours and then you could exercise your puts Saturday. Or some monster news item hits tonight. Bid was only one contract left after a ton of fills at 3:59 pm. Probably speculation on closing print is...

Do not try to state MY trading opinion. I will note that last month you tried to criticize my observation ( derived over several years ) that the market tends to go flat at the end of monthly options week. Not every month, but easily the majority of them. This is why I don't hold your...

Obviously, you've developed too big a head to think clearly at this point. So, now you are claiming Ryan was scalping AAPL volatility late in the expiry week with 20% of his entire account. Not what he posted at all in his reasons. This is one of the dumbest posts you've ever put up on this...

My point is when you are trading options directionally within 3 days of expiry, you should have a very strong opinon on that direction. You wouldn't pull a 180 degree turn within a few hours without major news. I happened to agree with Ryan yesterday that AAPL was going to touch $600 ( I was...

Falcon, as an experienced options trader, I have noted that the posts from Ryan the last 24 hours are not making sense. I would warn you there is a strong chance he's making it all up. Even if we were to give him the benefit of a doubt, the AAPL trades as quoted are a horrendous strategy.

Ya, that's like when you shorted PCLN at $100. You are famous on the exchange for holdng that position. ps I can make stuff up to.

Hmm, if they think $720 is conservative, and think $960 is very possible, why does Grand_Super_Cycle think that AAPL is a screaming short at $478 ??? Did he research that call, or just look at a chart blindly with no concern about fundamentals. Of course, anyone following Grand's advice lost...

There are things you said about this trade that are unrealistic, given the spread involved and volatility of AAPL. Closing bid price was $5.60. So if your "stop loss" is $5.50, you sold right ? Otherwise, your real stop loss is the entire position. Then you are risking 18% of your portfolio...

What a stupid concept. 70% of AAPL is owned by institutions who only care about the bottom line. How cool was Microsoft in the 1980s ? I remember a lot of haters trying to derail them. What was their main product ? An operating system, not even a good one in the early days. You remind...

There is no hope for you until you get educated in the field. Posting emotional crap about AAPL isn't going to solve this problem.

Too big to fail ? What kind of garbage statement is that ? They are making wads of money, they have no debt, and their in markets that have growing worldwide demand. You need to do some fundamental research, instead of just blindly looking at dollar figures you don't understand and making...

Grand's calling a top here on December 3rd. Grandm, please don't scapegoat me for your brutal performance calling broader markets.

Nitro has been short the SPX since 1229 and added to his position on two different occasions. He seems to have no clear attachment to reality. All these losing index scalps seem to be a diversion so he can let his gigantic losing trades run. He even declared them to be some sort of hedge against...

Only a mad man would call the market since 2009 to be a "BEAR MARKET". Its been a textbook bull market for three years.

I've reposted one of his calls from a couple of months ago. One that he frequently claims I lie about. Very basic stuff. Direct quote of what he said, and an invitation to explain exactly what he meant. Because to be blunt, any interpretation of his posts, no matter how literal, he will call a...

These type of moves are unsustainable and tend to end in tears . . . Maybe try sticking to trading concepts, like your short idea on AAPL at $478. That is why you started the thread isn't it ? How is that trading ( call/idea/whatever you claim it is ) doing now ? At what point is this "AAPL...

+1000 I urge op caution around sharp objects.

Don, I've heard this argument before, but my trading experience suggests that buying calls can be an extremely effective strategy if you are highly selective and only trade in the right market conditions ( eg strong steady market trend in one direction ). Or in special one off situations around...

Perhaps the reason you don't understand fundamentals is you don't do proper research. IBM is at their all time high right now, a fairly steady up trend for at least 20 years. Some one buying IBM in 1980, 1990 or at almost any time would have made considerable money just holding and forgetting...

I strongly suggest you withdraw your sponsorship as long as obvious frauds like Grand are allowed to operate. 2008 shoiuld have been a red flag in this industry to clamp down on this kind of scam.
