CRAZY gains thread..1000% gainers or more. (options) - Page 43

AMZN looks really bad from a charting perspective. They have had good revenue on the 2011 year, but I think there is a slight bit of open room for speculation. The analysts estimates for the next quarters are very spread. Maybe most of this gap can get filled. Either way they are under pressure from an overcrowded market with the Kindle. With BKS pairing up with MSFT that can be interpreted as more pressure for their margins. Once Google gets under way as a provider for Google shopping that could be a game breaker. AMZN knew that it had to start dishing out cash to do something otherwise it was going to get creamed. The stock is also up a lot since 2001, so I would keep it on watch for more clues to be revealed. If indices puke I could see this one getting crushed.

^^ hopefully, still holding on to my May 200x puts

need it to pull a gmcr

Interesting. I'm watching AMZN for a push higher to $240 this month. I'd like to see a pullback to $220 first though, I'd definitely be a buyer there.

Yeah. Just looks like a head and shoulders to me on the weekly and even the daily. Even if the right shoulder got negated from a move up there would still be a double top giving it a lot of trouble.

might not be 1000% but im holding onto FOSL puts and RAX puts...both on missed earnings

Lookin' at DMND May 23.00 calls ... spread a little less than desirable (.30/.50).

After I get rid of my shares in AAPL, OXY, BAC, NEM and SLV (among some others) I'm never going back to those. Only options trading for me.

The 22x weekly puts are only at .30. Potential for a 5-6 bagger here...maybe more.

Damn these GM puts fell to a low of .23 yesterday. Now at .36 x .38. I wasn't paying attention to it yesterday, those .20's would have been nice.

edit: Just bought some at .33.

i'm scared for ur life imagining the bank roll ur trading with

Yes but you also have 500 times more capital to trade with.

He's talking about how much he can lose. I'm just saying that losing 5k with 500k is a lot different from losing 5k with only 25k.

You can definitely lose a lot more with options than stocks. 100x more risky. But the reward is also much much larger.

Can we not bash nate please anymore throughout the forum. That has to get really annoying and it kind of annoys me seeing it practically every day at some point or another. Not picking and choosing, but eh..

I think it has more to do with the fact that Nate did it to himself by constantly coming off as a whinny trader. Further, he seemingly wants advice on what to do but then doesn't really care to listen. At this point, I don't personally see it as bashing. If and when Nate actually comes out and apologizes for being too emotional and actively trying to listen to the advice more experienced traders are trying to tell him, then I will refrain from giving him shit. Till then, play ball.

Yes, I understand. It has just been overdone imo, as there has been much more than just a few comments across the board. It's hard to just listen to others on the internet, as that just lost someone money yesterday for example. I think he just looks for other's opinions because he has a job and is not a full time trader. Just imo.
