I_Am_Madness Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wow. Look at those AAPL feb 500 puts. Over 11 today. (high of 14!) Dang..that would had been a 13 bagger in 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bundys_dodge Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Hardly read anything anymore. For one, it's usually very depressing and for the most part, adds no benefit to my trading. Too much info out there these days...... You nailed it PD. Information overload, pure and simple. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Joe Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wow. Look at those AAPL feb 500 puts. Over 11 today. (high of 14!) Dang..that would had been a 13 bagger in 24 hours. If you are a "slot machine options trader" (i.e., put in a nickle, win $1,000,000) Then OpEx week is always the best, and in my opinion, only bet out there when playing options from the long side And for exactly the example you mentioned...the premiums, even on the big dogs, shrink WAY down giving at least a half-reasonable chance at a win ...and sometimes the win can be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetlag Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 So far the trend is still friendly with the bullz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trader Joe Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Yeah, their views are very bias. It's hard to use any of that information to make money. Yes Hardly read anything anymore. For one, it's usually very depressing and for the most part, adds no benefit to my trading. Too much info out there these days...... Ditto I think that's how human mind works in general. We take a bullish or bearish position and subsequently only look to reinforce that opinion. Seconded Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zero_value Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wow. Look at those AAPL feb 500 puts. Over 11 today. (high of 14!) Dang..that would had been a 13 bagger in 24 hours. And I thought I hit the jack pot with a 6x return in 3 hours yesterday. Today picked up 20 puts of SPY 134 @.24, be very lucky to see 0.50 by tomorrow otherwise give back 5 bills to the house.

Jimi Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Money printing result in graphic form... I skimmed the article for reference to the foreclosure suspension that followed in the wake of the robosigning scandal. I didn't see any. Wouldn't that suspension have contributed to the appearance of better performance in the underlying mortgages described in the article and the subsequent recovery in the index? If so, as those suspensions end, we should expect the index to turn back down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psyche doctor Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Crapple still feeling the wrath of Savage, despite stock market being up. Looking for one more leg down, as we could be working out some fourth wave junk atm. Or we could have a 3-wave move down (wave a) a bounce in wave B and another down move into wave c, then off to the races again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
