The investment..speculation, out right gambling thread

<p>I sold 3 of the put spreads just before the close. I’m keeping 2 contracts on the calls and puts. When I don’t have a clue what’s going to happen, I don’t go all in or all out.</p>

<p>That’s good, doct. Who knows where aapl is going.</p>

<p>I have to be careful. I was tempted to sell too many puts today. I thought aapl was going to close closer to 460. I was going to do something very, very dumb.</p>

<p>I am sick of watching aapl.I am going to get fat again if I keep watching aapl. Everytime it
jerks down I eat something. :)</p>

<p>I probably should have sold all the put spreads - at most I’m only getting at most another .28 for the other 2 that I held onto.</p>

<p>If that put spread goes to zero you will be happier than if it doesn’t. :)</p>

<p>Hopefully it does, but if I sold it today, I would have gotten everything out of it except for .28 and maybe aapl closes above 505 tomorrow.</p>

<p>Ok…</p>

<p>I’m not that delusional. :)</p>

<p>It’s interesting AAPL just announced a best revenue qtr in the entire history of stock market and the 4th best profit qtr of the entire history and yet down almost 13%</p>

<p>I have a GTC order for AAPL at 405. I may raise it, but I suspect if we get a pull back in the market AAPL will retrace even lower than 405. </p>

<p>I got killed shorting NFLX. It is a dog but Mr. Market loves the wrong stocks.</p>

<p>How is your friend BCEagle? AAPL is trading roughly $10 lower right now than his entry point. He should have listened to you.</p>

<p>Razorsharp, bummer about nflx. </p>

<p>At least you weren’t long aapl coming into today.</p>

<p>"Ok…</p>

<p>I’m not that delusional." </p>

<p>I may be delusional but at least I can hope.</p>

<p>I’m hoping.</p>

<p>Aapl is trading 448.40 right now.</p>

<p>When we are short premium on expiration day, we wish our lives away. </p>

<p>I need aapl to close where it is now, so I am wishing the next 5 hours to go whizzing by. :)</p>

<p>I unloaded the rest of my call spreads in aapl slightly after the open and around 453. Should have sold it all yesterday. Anybody know why qualcomm is going down besides whatever impact that aapl has on it?</p>

<p>This is ugly…</p>

<p>I guess my 505 - 480 put spread is ok. I should have kept all the other put spreads: 490 - 475 and 535 - 510</p>

<p>placed an order to buy… 25… AAPL at 425.</p>

<p>Great verbal fight between Ackman and Ichan on CNBC. They really do not like each other. Ichan called Ackman a liar and Ackman had a few choice words for Ichan as well.</p>

<p>Whenever someone asks Icahn a question he doesn’t like, he turns around and claims that the person interviewing him is bullying him into answering the question (no matter how reasonable the question) so he says he’s not going to answer that question. He’s done that a couple of times on tv. He comes off as the bully to me.</p>

<p>Ok…I feel better now.</p>
