    Option trade idea on YHOO

    I did not want to recommend selling naked PUT (although I am also doing that) because I wanted to propose a protected trade. Have you calculated the margin comparison between your idea dn my idea? potential gain/loss? It is great to hear that you are still trading YHOO. 85% of my account is...

    Option trade idea on YHOO

    It is obvious that YHOO is in uptrend. Here is my trade idea which has low risk and has the potential of more than doubling your money in 4 weeks. First leg: Sell 15/14 PUT Spread for July for credit of about 15 cents. Sell 15 PUT and buy 14 PUT. Second Leg: Buy 15/16 CALL spread for...

    Anyone Betting on Facebook?

    I am short GRPN, FB and ZNGA and long YHOO. Specially GRPN should get hammered soon. FB will not get hammered. Only will go down. Big investors won't bet on FB yet. ZNGA is a also a piece of crap. Lots of good news and potential for YHOO in the buffer.

    Anyone Betting on Facebook?

    FB, GRPN and ZINGA will falter soon. A wise investor does not bet on a few days action. Don't you ever think that big traders are taking profit today? GRPN was upgraded today so its effect will evaporate today.

    Expiration Friday questions

    You will never know. It depends when the big news come out. Those who are long options have a certain time to excecise. It is like 4:15 or 5:15 or something like that. I am not sure. The best way is to call your broker. Sometimes you might end up less than 500 shares short in your account like...

    What percent of my cash should I use for trading?

    The main problem with option traders is that when the trade goes against them, they become hopeless and let the option expire. You should have more risk in option but say if you buy an option at $1 and it drops to $0.5, you should get out.

    Modeling theta decay in 6.5 hr market

    That is good question but all theoretical and the answer won't help you in trading. My experience says that the price of the option decays as we get close to the market close if the volatility stays the same (most of the time it does not based on buying or selling pressure on the option...

    Can someone help me understand broker fee structure

    There is a way to bypass the $1 minimum in IB for trading 100 shares and just pay 0.5. I am not going to tell you how but if you have used IB a lot, you will find it out. A hint: Putting order will not be that straight forward. You have to use one of the trading features that IB offers.

    Anyone Betting on Facebook?

    FB almost has moved against the market everyday. In a day that market goes up like 3%, FB can drop 10%. No correlation. CSCO, INTC, MSFT should double their profit iorder their stock to go up 2% but FB and GRPN fart and expect their stock to double. Really what kind of business GRPN is in? 7B...
