I take no pleasure at someone losing money but this thread is a perfect example of what happens when you trade with the other head down below and only think of the profits and "guaranteed" money.
Odds are at ET that you fade any trade alert posted. Hubris is deadly for traders and I hope the poster has learned a lesson and I am sorry for the monetary cost of it.

Quote from forex-forex:
No money left.......otherwise I would.
Just curious, if you were going to trade RIMM for earnings only, why did you not just put a strangle or straddle on RIMM?
Thanks Optioncrotch .... I plan on recovering lost funds with a similar AAPL trade. Will keep ET posted.
I don't trade earning strangles or straddles.
Very sorry about your loss.
I hope that your able to gain some knowledge from it and that experience will help you not only make it back but more.
what a smart trade???????????????? if long on vega
where if price goes up- impl vol goes down ....
i think you will need help from Nasa to attach a rocket to RIMM stock to be worth the risk
