A atticus Oct 18, 2011 #61 Quote from atticus: I only follow the 50% because it's so widely-followed. I have some flies on in GOOG: Small positions into a binary event and unhedged. More... Out remaining 3 lot (both flies) at 53.00 and 13.50.

N newwurldmn Oct 18, 2011 #62 Good cut on the calendar... staying steady did not pay off today so far... let's see, but if the reports are true, this will not be a good trade for me.
