Yeah not too bad for a 30 minute hold.

Wish I did the goog fly, too pricey now.

Yeah, it's up 1.10 from entry. I don't plan on holding it through NFP, but who knows. I'll post my IB equity run in a week or two. I am up 30% for the month on my book (all activity).

I sold too early.

It's peaking too early, 7.55 mid now. Dumped half at 7.45

Performance to date: +36.2%. I'll produce 100% on account by Dec 3 or I'll offer full refunds to all. 500% by 3/1/13. A palindromic number. As good as any date. My regular portfolio (not concentrated) has done much better.

Out of the GOOG fly at 8.30 (8.60 mid).

Very impressive record.

I actually got into that GOOG 680 fly near the close for 7.10, looking to get out now as well.

Thanks.

Out of the Jan13 AAPL fly at 43.20 (55 mid). Performance to date: 37.1% due to lot sizes. Would be higher but could not commit to 100% (90-99% of cap).

No significant opportunities this morning, so I will wait for the last hour. My entire book is performing far better than the "all in" account.
