I feel S&P will start to drop as of today. It shows exhaustion. No crash but just 4% correction in a week specially that we are entering May next week. By the way S&P is up now slightly.

I also know some traders will throw up by trading appl. One way or the other. Long or short.

As you know I predicted $520

AAPL will be halted for the earning announcement. So you can all relax.

check out price action on YHOO todayn something must be happening. Rumor is that FB is settling the lawsuit in cash.

How about a flat idea after the earning. Why it should always go in one direction? being flat is also a possibility. Either flat or down. Up is not a possibility. FYI: I don't trade AAPL.

Actually he missed 4.

who is your broker? naked call for what strike price? ATM? ITM? OTM? Index or normal stocks? Porfolio margin or reg T?

I did not read the thread but my gut feeling says SPY will drop soon. Now it is $138.60 I expect it to go to $137 and lower. Not below $135. I also expect a big drop in AAPL after the earnings. I don't trade AAPL. Drop to $550 not more. By the way this will happen in a week.

Now YHOO chart screams it is a buy. I am in by selling naked PUTs.

YHOO is at 15.51 now ( 10:14 AM Thursday). call 16 that will expire tomorrow should worth no more than 1 cent specially we are after earnings and volatility should have come down but strangely it is traded 5 to 7 cents. Something should happen imminently or some investors are burning their money.

brilliant. Thanks for the post.

3 points: 1-SPX options are definitely not as liquid as SPY ones. Check the last trades on SPX options and compare them with SPY ones. SPY options are traded to the last second but last SPX options trades are sometimes 2 hours old. 2- In case market goes against you and a liquidation is...

SPX weekly options are PM settled.

Yes that exactly makes sense. Because in your first order you are selling 48 PUT and in your second order you are buying 48. So you are putting order on both sides of 48 PUT. You cannot do that. Just cancel the first order. You won't be charged any cancellation fee as it is a combo order.

Another question that I have. Did FB haggle? Did they offer 900M first and it was rejected? !! that they upped their offer to 1B? Well who cares about that 100M more.:eek: I guess FB CEO got A+ in rounding the numbers in math.

If you put your order as combo order using combo feature of TWS, you can cancel it any time and you will not be charged any cancellation fee because your order has not actually hit the exchanges and it is conditioned. So you left your first combo order unchanged and uncancelled and put a new...

I installed instagram today. I palayed with it for a minute. I noticed that there are at least 10 apps, available doing the same thing. I bet there will be 100 more in less than a month. It is really an easy app. Just image processing. Nothing else.

Your deposit in the bank or your stock investment with your broker?

Yes I "SHOULD" but with almost 10 brokers that I had been before I left them for good to IB, never that rebate happend to me. I know some brokers pass that rebate to the customer but I believe that is a rare practice.
