CRAZY gains thread..1000% gainers or more. (options) - Page 33

lol well there would of been.. if someone else paid the ask  laughing.gif

yeah i see stuff like that all over on wierd things.. no volume one month and 30K on another.. then i see 5K on a call option which is obviously bought i would think, and the others sold.

 

Dont get me wrong, 80% of options are losers, which selling them is the best way to profit i think,.. I just dont wanna do it nekkid, nor do i feel like owning 400K worth of stock to sell one option. lol. (ex google)  i want to.. but i cant bring myself to do it.. yeah more stable etc, but its not worth the reward at times.  I dunno maybe on smaller caps or something.

I stay away from ETF options.



If you pull up the option chart you can see the volume and what price they were bought/sold and whether they were bought at the ask or sold at the bid so you can some details from it. But yeah you're right, it doesn't always tell the whole story. I still look for those unusually high options, and if I like the chart I'll play it.

 

You stay away from ETF options? No SPY either?

PHM had a ton of volume on the May 9x puts a couple weeks ago before the home builders started tanking. Someone bought like 50k+ contracts on 2 different strikes so I was assuming it was a spread which is why I didn't play it...

 

But those puts went from like .25 to .85...someone got rich laughing.gif

Thanks. You're in PCLN puts?

 

I just bought calls...had to chase a bit. But I'm in next week's 790x calls at 2.65.

Gotcha. Last year I played SPY a lot because the markets were so volatile..haven't touched it this year. Thinking about playing EEM though, it's a lot more volatile than SPY.

I was one day too early on the pcln puts should've got it at peak yesterday .. Going to be tough I need monster drop to continue .. Coming close to breaking even it's going to be tough.. I got till next week but I'm sure this is going to bounce soon.. Hmmm

Same issue with nutflix...

Some SPY calls on Apple earnings should be good. If Apple climbs then the SPY should move up. Apple brought down the SPY today with its drop.

post #656 of 1189
Some May AAPL $615 and $620 calls could be baggers. I will pick some up soon.
post #657 of 1189

wow look at SODA go. Up 4.6% ..making new highs. Damn calls at 1.70 now. Sold mine at 1.05 frown.gif

Hi,

 

 

Yesterday I did my first option, I did a put for 20th April of the company "REP.MC" because they are having troubles in Argentina, the strike was 17 and I paid 0,13 x 100. I bought 3 options so a total of 300 shares.

 

Here's the thing, I had to pay only 39€, and on my interactivebrokers software it says that if i sold now i could get 20€ extra.

 

Would that be multiplied by the total amount of € I purchased? When should I sell it and how? there is no way i can see the spread as it says info is not available.

 

This is the company i went short: http://es.finance.yahoo.com/q?s=REP.MC&ql=1

 

Opened 17,96€, now its 17,44€ and my put was 17€. When do I start making profit?

 

I also did those:

Apr20 4 PUT NOK (Nokia) @ 0.14725
May18 20 CALL CHK (Chesapeake Energy Corporation) @ 1.12725

 

Can anybody explain me a little bit? I'm kinda lost

 

Please help! :D

either way one of us is going to be in a lot of pain this week lol..  what is your bail out point? for me i'm at a point where its gotta tank huge or forget it .. premium is getting sucked dry

everything in the charts looks primed to drop but you know how that goes 

 

If we blow through the 20 day.. i think this thing could really pick up speed here.  I'm not seeing any conviction from buyers in the volume here that along with the general market/europe maybe I get what I need here on these 710 puts.

really with PCLN i feel it needs to be intraday.. as other items are factored into it and the rise and fall of the stock. Its not a pure only stock.

Might get lucky .. might not.. but i expect it to rise on monday not decline.
