Funny you should mention - the other nite there was a show on the Playboy mansion. The design criteria for the water level in the "grotto" where all the bunnies would frolick and play is...you guessed it: just under the bodacious line. Bwahahahahaaa! btw Exalt! +1  |

You don't think it will just slowly fall from here today? I anticipate that it will. Taj seemed to think so too. I'd be careful. just my .02, but I am often wrong

One might want to sell 18 covered calls for 10 cents or 17 for 70 cents.. just a thought.. GL... |

Next weeks 20 strike selling for .21 is the only good deal, the rest are low IV, too low for my money
or, the 21 for .12 looks like a good bet.

This is beyond my paygrade, but a good trader I know says look at wkly. vol candle on 1 yr. chart, only 2nd time it's been green this yr., 70 million green bar at low. Maybe you can interpret his meaning. GL. Accumulation by some big bettors who think the markets continue down at least in the short term.  Ask, what is the cyan line on the hft charts? TIA. |

Mine too, but last week was a doji and the wk before was a bearish cross on the 20 & 50 MAs - forget what I said earlier Lou. |

So will cost you $350, you will survive but too bad you couldn't close when you were ahead.
I did my conservative options thing that I told you about, made a couple of bucks.

Congrats Man.. yeah, I was in pulled into expected meetings and my trade ticket to close the position at 50 cents didn't filled.. I tried to rollover the options during last 7 minutes of the trading but price action went against my trade and I was unable to rollover.. hopefully I will get lucky on Monday .. Have a nice long weekend everyone... I am going to Mt. Shasta.. leaving shortly.. |
