is it me or has EBAY turned old and boring lately?!
COME ON already at least bid 3!
This stock is up SIX CENTS. Is that right? SIX PENNIES on a day like this when NAZ/NDX is up big?
WOW- why wasn't I born a pro golfer. :eek:
well it's like they say - IF you live long enough you see EVERYTHING!
EBAY and DNA are not up at all on a day the NDX and NAZ are up big. Yet CME and SOX keeps going higher and higher for no reason. I guess rising tides don't raise all boats anymore! Only word that comes to mind is inexplicable!
It's like some fking market god knows I have 10 ITM EBAY calls and has held EBAY at the same price level all day. It's fking amazing. A freind of mine used to say to check for hidden cameras in your office since it sometimes seems like the market eye knows what you want or need to have happen, and then makes it as hard as FKING possible.
What did Shakespeare say? First thing we do is kill all the hedge funds?
you know there is an old saying in the market - but sometimes certain people think it doesn't apply to them, or think this time is an exception, or that they are bigger than the market and economics. It's amazing how many thought that back in the late 90s.
"bulls make money, bears make money - but PIGS get slaughtered"!
CME is the biggest joke since the 1990s bubble. You got a bunch of seat holder-maggots manipulating the stock higher and higher in the face of nothing much to justify these price levels. It's amazing how people come to accept prices like this. But then TASR was once a high flyer also.
Mark my words. This stock is an accident wafting to happen. It will go down at least 100 points. This is another oil b.s. manipulation by exchange scumbags. Oh wait, I forgot its the small investors who are buying this POS stock at 435. Its a joke.
I guess the reason this sounds "angry" is that the hotshots at SEC et.al. are more worried about a fking PDT rule and regulating the small honest guy--
--- but I wonder what we would find if they examined the buying in CME and matched it with insiders and CME members, and CME underwriters. Of course I guess its not "illegal" to buy stock in the company you work at. SURE!
sold my 1 CME March 430p at 10.40
PnL
+40
still underwater on other puts - sold some long calls today in other account. Now in a bear call spread
gonna go eat my pizza.

DNA
sold 7 DNA April 80c @7
PnL +532
(exercised great patience to wind up at a decent one day profit considering the stock was down as low as 83.50 - many newbie traders would have stopped out for a loss)
GOOG
+2 March 380c @10.80
(again exercised great patience in waiting for my prices considering march 380c was as high as 14.50 offer)
DNA
+4 DNA April 75c @11.18
(gonna stick with this baby even though it ain't looking real strong - and - with expiry ahead again we have a similar condition to last month with a probable 85 expiry pin target given the large # o/i at said strike - thus I bought deep calls to take advantage of smaller mark-ups as we near expiry)
EBAY
waited all FKING day to sell the 10 EBAY 37.50c @3.1-3.40 for an overnight profit of $800 but the POS just wouldn't cooperate.
+10 ebay march 3750c
u/r PnL +500
