Yep. Like shooting fish in a barrel. Like taking candy from a baby.

Maybe he meant to say he sold the puts rather than bought them. Maybe he never actually made the trade but just had it on his watch list. Whatever, there will be something. You just know he is not going to fess up to losing $1500 on this trade.

ETA: What a tool. Sorry I forgot to put that in my post. I insist on putting that verbiage in ever reference I make to FF. Wonder if I should also insist on doing it in color?

Someone probably hacked his account again.

Lots of goodies this week. Here's my uneducated guess for some reactions (as opposed to the report).

Positive: HOG, EBAY, YUM, MSFT
Neutral: IBM, INTC
Negative: CMG, CREE, SNDK[/B]

Wow, looking at the 5-day chart (see link below) I'm eerily accurate, although the neutral reactions end up being negative due to run ups. At any rate, I'll stick to hedged positions for now and hope the game lasts a little longer. Maybe if I last a while I'll add a small gambling fund for earnings. I'm still green behind the ears after all...

Good job with the gif. Bad job with the trade- as always.
 
Quote from ForexForex:

Added 20 more contracts @ $0.39. 40 contracts total, average $0.45 each. Big day tomorrow. This trade is like shooting fish in a barrel.

Once the trade is completed I will give details about my strategy, I do not want to show my cards yet.

CREE played the worst case scenario took a 80% hit on that one with reverse iron condor for earnings....Had only 1 contract, not a biggie..

SNDK is doing very well, FSLR is good too. YOKU still has time to play out earnings in June...
Will add one more May contract at the close on Monday for NFLX earnings...

All these are Reverse Iron Condors...but i'm experimenting with BWB plays now...need a solid income strategy to stick with, and so far BWB looks better then Reverse Iron Condor R/R,,,plus BWB can be done on monthly bases.
Also if anyone has done double BWB please let me know...

Sell 3 May 845 Calls
Buy 2 May 865 Calls

Will adjust as needed...If market drops farther, will leave it to expire and keep credit.
If market goes sideways, will wait for sold calls to loose value, then buy back to have a free trade on.

If market rallies hard , lets say 40 point up day,,,will close the trade...

NOTE: on a previous message there was a TYPO
Buy 1 67 call
