GOOG earnings this Thursday, Calls or Puts?

I hate goog

I get burned everytime!

When I'm bearing, it goes to $300

When I'm bullish, it goes to $270

When the IPO came out, I laughed at people for buying an overpriced dot.com.

I have not had one fucking winning trade with GOOG.

Last year I bought Calls and they went up 400%, 6 months ago I bought Puts and lost 100%.

I'm leaning towards Puts this time. Straddle is out of question.
 
so, thekin, what are you thinking now so I can fade you :)

J/k. I had it when that happens; I usually dodge stocks like that.

i'm a put buyer
 
Given YHOO's earnings announcement, do you think it serves as any indicator of what GOOG might do in general? Also, GOOG has had a nice run up so even if the news is good it still may sell off.

I agree that there is no good way to play this since the news can be good and it will still go down.
 
i think i will buy put on goog
yahoo earning were flat so it could sell off
or it can be worst if it announce a stock split :(
i will buy the put,s short terms
 
Your last chance for GOOG options before earnings is Thursday. Ebay down in AH.

Oct300 puts for $2.70
Oct290 puts for $1.05

Nov300 puts for $8.10
Nov290 puts for $4.80

No sense paying for premium, go for the Oct options and get it over fast?

very , very low IV before report , maybe they betting on non-event here. Adjusted ATM (310) straddle is only 12$ . That's represents only 3.8% from nominal , the lower I ever saw on GOOG before report. We shall see
 
yhoo earnings weren't flat. they beat estimates, and they were pretty much double same q last year. same q last year they sold a boat load of goog stock which inflated their earnings. if you look at earnings history on yahoo finance, it shows 9 cents for same q last year (which excluded the goog sale since it wasn't really income but basically a transfer off the balance sheet and onto the income statement).
