Out of: AAPL Dec14 185 CALL up to $2.50 from $1.18 Will be looking for a drop to see if it is worth getting back into.....

Trading straight PUTS/CALLS like I do on extremely overbought/oversold stocks, the options are more priced on intrinsic value and time value, as 99.99% of the time I close the trade well before expiration. If a stock is ready to move up, calculating ...

I do agree that events can and will move the market, but I've found that most things like rate hikes or such as that have short term effects, as they tend to be priced into the market already. It is only those totally unexpected things that create ...

That is why you have to look at the charts for the market overall. A weekly and monthly chart of the OEX and DIA will give you a good indication where the market is headed, and if it is headed that way for any length of time. It is that length of ...

Well, not near as bad as I thought it was going to be, basically a non-event. Makes me think that AAPL is actually a lot stronger (and oversold) than a lot of people realize....

NVDA looks good on the daily and weekly charts, but tomorrow will most likely be a down day, so you'll get in cheaper....might even be able to get a better strike price for the same money?!...

Well, President Trump stepped on Apple today after hours....problem was he never said he was going to hit iPhones with a 10% tariff, just "Maybe...Maybe" and that he "could" impose a 10% tariff and people could handle it. I doubt seriously if ...

How often are spreads like that profitable? It seems like I could make a calendar spread work for me if the dates were spread out a couple of weeks apart....like if I saw SBUX close to making a move up within the next 3 weeks, but it's not ready to ...

Futures indicate we will most likely have a gap up in the morning, but will be looking at: AAPL Dec14 185 CALL @ $1.60 or better Chances are, it will not be available at that price, but AAPL looks good for a CALL sometimes tomorrow....

SPX weekly charts look like it is ready to bounce up in the next 2-3 weeks, most likely to the 2750 area and possibly up to just over 2800. Hopefully that will happen in the next two weeks! Might have a little more down this week, but if everything ...

Out of the following: SBUX Nov30 66.5 PUT up to $1.58 from $0.45 SBUX Dec7 67.5 PUT up to $2.40 from $1.00 Overall, SBUX was profitable, but not verifying my indicators after the update cost me a lot of time and tied up money that didn't need to be. ...

Funny you should mention that, because after looking at my old options training stuff (and I did check out Tastytrades), I have actually been paper trading that type scenario since Monday (using Fridays option prices) with SBUX and other stocks (GS, ...

Expiration week trades can lose money very quickly, so just remember tomorrow is basically the last trading day. Markets are closed Thursday and only open until 1:00 p.m. Friday (which is typically a very weak trading day), so you'll need to watch ...
