I agree totally. I could have played the april 60 or better yet may 60 calls and still realized a good gain and have a good deal of time on my side...thanks for the advice. i do appreciate that...

I am expecting ISIL to have good numbers...my personal target on this is 3.00, but will gladly take 50% gain..again, you set your own targets here...

thanks man. appreciate your thoughts

ISIL reports earnings later tonight and from my DD and research and looking at the feb semiconductor sales etc..(have a subscription to next inning research), this is the one i am buying now... in some May 30 ISIL at 1.50 10 contracts isil at 1.50 for 1500 (UFHEF) again, i am just...

Sold half of my calls at .80..and the rest now at 1.00 it worked out well.

i have not sold yet...want to see the action today and tomorrow. but will pull the trigger for atleast half if it hits .60 for a 50% gain.

You're probably right, I could have cut down on my risk by playing the may 60 ITM calls...thanks for the honest and sincere advice. I do appreciate that...my goal is not make new folks follow me and lose money...if that is the impression this forum is having, then i will stop posting...I dont...

I understand every ones response, but if i had say 30000 dollars and plunked it down on OTM calls, then yeah I am gambling, but i starting with 1000 dollars and i dont care if i have to catch a lucky break here or there to grow this, but the reason i posted gild was i had done my DD and saw...

Once again man, you dont need to follow my picks. I am just posting my picks and you are a total liberty to ignore me. Dont you think. if you want me to explicitly state then here it is. Options have a high risk of losing money. I am not a trading advisor. Please do your due dilligence and...

did i say i am a trading advisor. I am just posting my picks. you are at liberty to ignore my posts. But dont post any wise ass remarks if you cant come up with anything better. makes you look foolish.

6% to break even is right, provided I am gonna buy the stock outright. All i am trying to do is But to open and sel to close and if the uptrend continues which i think it will leading to earnings, the 65 calls will move well. also just a few days ago, monday it was at 64 and change...so all...

maybe you should re think statement " 1k to 100k = nice double digit gains"; otherwise somebody will be tempted to take other side of your trade(s). you mean just for the heck of it...let me know

good luck man....thaks for visiting the thread. appreciate it

It may sound a lot 1k to 100k. but some real nice plays to be had out here...some stocks on my watch list are SLB, GRMN, MRVL and if you play the may or june options, this will pan out... just my 2 cents

not doing this as a gimmick or paper trade etc, just to throw these trades out there. GILD earnings on 18th and as you know with option expiration on the 20th and time value almost nil, a good earnings report will really be good for this stock. I believe earnings will come out well... this...

sorry, starting out with 1000 dollars... 20 contracts GILD APR 65 calls (GDQDM) at .40 for a total of 800 dollars target = .80
