2000 % IN ONE HOUR The one that got away

This one hurt. I bought 2 skf 200 feb puts today at 1:30 for .90 each. Last options x I lost 3500 so I was being very conservative. so I sold it at 1:37 for 1.15, at 2:53 this options was 18.20 each 2000 % in one hour It does not pay to be a bitch. Hey at least I made 50 bucks
 
thanks...this is really interesting...do you normally trade options on expiration day?..risky?...I never really saw SKF, but now I will watch it for options trades...why did you only trade 2 contracts only?do you trade SKF options often...thanks...very interesting...what have you observed trading SKF options?
 
I only bought two because they are very very risky. its the most risky, but can be the most rewarding options you can trade. Ill buy two of a few different options some times ill buy calls and puts on the same stock because you can make up to 2 to 20 times your money. google today went from 100 to 900 in just two hours so there are many times you can use this on experation

yeah yeah yeah, so you would have made a couple of thousand.

i should have sold more options last nov 21. i ended up making only 130k but could have made 800k. let's all cry ourselves to sleep ok?

I think it's good to review your trades and learn lessons from past trades. You are doing fine.
