You're friggin' telling me.  It was also a punch the shit out of my desk day.

 

I had SPY 138 calls at .775 today ..... sold them at .90 when it was finding some resistance at the pre-market bottom.   I think when I shut my computer down out of complete frustration the calls were up to 2.18 or something like that.  Oh and I passed up on AAPL calls repeatedly.  mad.gif

You made a great call by buying them calls but a mistake by selling too early. No one really knew Apple would take off like that at $562 a share. Not much resistance for Apple up there these days.

It's never a mistake to sell for a profit wink.gif 


But I have noticed that o7media often posts about missed profits due to early exits. Maybe something to consider, idk.

Well, I posted about a large move on AAPL coming again this week. It was setting up for a breakout one way, Monday confirmed it was going to be up. I was about to buy the 560x calls when tones did..but I kept hesitating because I was worried of the time decay. Ended up gapping up ...

 

So I had to chase yesterday morning, that's why I sold early because I thought I missed a lot of the run already. Plus I had a bad entry yesterday morning. Now it's at $577 pre market mad.gif

 

edit: But anyway...I'm gonna catch that top again, and this time I'm getting the multi bagger on the puts!!! horse.gif

Puts and apple don't go well together. I'm just speaking from experience and would tell you not to call tops until it's already been confirmed. And with apple that means it's only rising 5-10 points per day, haha.

eh AAPL for me at least is a bit easier to call than other stocks...mainly because it only goes up tongue.gif

 

the 570x calls from yesterday that i bought at 1.47 are now at about $14 :(

Hey guys.  I'm a new investor here and I really like this thread.   I'm pretty familiar with options though I haven't actively traded them as you all have.  I see all the buzz about AAPL so I decided to sit on the sidelines and watch you guys play a couple days before jumping in.  I'm in the process of building a little daytrade station for myself so I'm only using yahoofinance for info at the moment, but every AAPL option I see has a n/a bid or ask price except the distant jan 13 and jan 14 options.

Am I missing something?
