will give goog analysis in morning before openQuote from Rob on Business:
How about GOOG for tomorrow the 18th? I know it definitely is weakening now, as it had a hard time following the Nasdaq's strong afternoon rally. I'm stuck in Nov.400 calls that are having a hard time keeping premium. I don't know whether to close in an opening rally or wait closer to market close.
Quote from pinabetal:
I probally shouldn't make this forecast since there was some aftermarket trading according to 007 but here goes.
Probally track sideways with a possible higher high over 17th high and a possible lower low too. Short on any penetration of 26.12 once the top is made by intraday tape, That could meand 26.12 to 27.00 or even higher, just watch for top. This is the best early morning senario. If it trades down first without going up first to 26.12 then go long at 25.70 to 25.40 area when it appears bottom is made on tape. Of course put stop losses. Cover any short on same day. Get out of long same day.
I'm currently experimenting a new methodology, and I don't know yet how reliable or accurate it is (or will ever be). Per the attached chart: tomorrow should be a down day for GOOG with a flex point around 10:35 am EST.Quote from Rob on Business:

Uninvited_guest, you sound rather infantile but I will oblige you some information....
I've been trading for a living since 1996; switched to Equity Options in 1997; have made over $1.8M in options (mostly on the buying side). Fear/greed is applicable to those who are locked in "rat-race", so 10K is "chicken feed" to me.

AAPL
long AAPL Jan06 60p - will add more tommorrow IF it continues higher (or the Jan 65p)
will enter Dec 55p .15-20
then--- sell 2/1 or 2.5/1 -- Dec 60p (on any decent PB)
it gapped today -- so I expect we see 61.50-62 on or just after expiry
