My option trades

Long a few 195/210/225 flies for AMZN. I'm betting the e-commerce industry is good right now..

THAT and the EPS expected is a mere 7 cents compared to several multiples of that every other time before this... I'm sure they can beat that...

let's see. If I lose, it's nothing I can't handle... If I win, it'll be nice change to spend an upcoming bachelors party..

Here's to Ganesh and Jesus atticus

BBG is showing an EPS consensus of $0.39.
 
This was a classic black swan... It moved more than twice the straddle value pre-earnings.. nobody thunk it!

the straddle sellers are just shitting their pants.. if you sold it, you're at approx a $1700 loss per straddle...

YIKES!!!

But I'm genuinely concerned for flipside21... he had a 18000 running loss because he dumped most of his account into SPY puts- which, according to him, and if true actually amounted to $90,000 trade!!!

He probably lost more today if he didn't close out and take a loss...

He needs Ganesh!

Thank you for your concern.
I am hurting bad, down $46,442 on this trade in 2 days.
I have some bad qualities when it comes to trading: excessive position sizing and difficulty in getting out of bad trades, but I'm holding on to this one. Futures pointing down on Spain downgrade.
 
So an update...

I only lost around $500.. I had a really wide IC in SBUX which I closed soon upon market open... so that helped a little.

For the IC, here's a snapshot of my attempts at givin the market makers a bit of a chuckle this morning:
