<p>I need one too but I guess we just had it. I am glad we bought our place a couple of years ago because it is perfect for us. </p>

<p>I may need to buy a place for one of my kids and the cheaper prices are gone. Also there were very few sales at low prices. People did not put their homes on the market unless they had to…</p>

<p>The former owner of our place died. If she didn’t die, we would still be renting. Nothing else has come up that we liked. </p>

<p>Do u play golf? I take it the golf course condos are still expensive even after the real estate hit?</p>

6082

<p>I don’t play golf but I think paying for Golf isn’t so great when you can’t use it for 35% of the year.</p>

<p>It’s also a gated community with security guards, etc.</p>

6083

<p>So are all the condos expensive or just the ones on the course? </p>

<p>Anyway, those condos don’t sound right for you.</p>

<p>Do you want to live in a gated community?</p>

<p>I guess apple really broke out of its downtrend. This is a very boring expiration for me. My orders are not going to fill.</p>

<p>There are really cheap condos (Apt Conversions) that I wouldn’t touch. There’s senior living. There are nice condos but they’re about 1.5 miles away (I’ve run through them before) and we looked at them 30 years ago. There may be others too; I haven’t really looked and there’s been a lot of construction. The best elementary school in the city is in this area which is why it’s desirable and expensive (for NH).</p>

<p>I don’t see a need to live in a gated community in this area.</p>

<p>Haven’t even looked at Apple since earlier this morning.</p>

6085

<p>Cool.</p>

<p>AAPL broke through 50 DMA and downtrending resistance. I think that I put the target for the move around $478 a few days ago. Or $468. I’ll have to check but no hurry.</p>

6086

<p>Igloo will be happy.</p>

<p>It was better owning calls in aapl than shorting puts. Everything expired worthless. Next week I am short some aapl 430 and 435 puts and goog 730 puts. Also those svxy 50 in apr I am still short. </p>

<p>Sub par expiration for me. Didn’t do much today.</p>

<p>Doct, anything of note?</p>

<p>I guess the stock market was flat this week.</p>

<p>Stopped out on ORCL for a 9.61% loss. Good thing it was a small position.</p>

6090

<p>Ellison may need to spend more time overseeing ORCL. Maybe he spends too much time buying islands, commuter airlines and hanging out at Indian Wells (he got a hug from Nadal!) and America’s Cup.</p>

6091

<p>Well BCEagle91, as much as we would like to we just can’t win them all. On to the next one…</p>

6092

<p>The loss was only $1,700 or so. Basically noise.</p>

6093

<p>That’s great.</p>

<p>No biggie.</p>

6094

<p>Other than the puts I sold, this has been a lousy week for me. My 4/20 Jpm 43 calls are down. I had to roll out the 3/22 49 Jpm puts to 4/20 47’s. Some of the other puts that I sold did expire worthless and I’ve missed the aapl rally!</p>

6095

<p>I feel bad that I didn’t encourage you more on the leap spread.</p>

6096

<p>TJX is doing great. They sell a lot of NKE stuff but they’ve also been really executing well and their business model is great too - brand-name stuff a sizable discounts.</p>

6097

<p>A replacement for orcl?</p>

6098

<p>On cnbc options action, Dan Nathan had bought aapl may 460 call for $15 and sold an April 460 call for 8 for a net cost of 7 and is up 14 percent</p>

6099

<p>Looks like he is playing earnings. Earnings come out after apr expiration, right? Did he mention it is a volatility trade for earnings?</p>

<p>Yes, I am happier. It is riding a roller coaster. BTW, am I the only one blocked from the site yesterday afternoon? I kept getting a message about malware attack on CC.</p>
