Out of GOOG at $8.60. I would've held longer but I'm just trying to protect profits. I don't want to get too greedy in these uncertain times.

Well this was a bad idea. Maybe there'll be a sell off.

Yikes, bullish engulfing daily candle, if it closes on highs should be a near-promise for solid follow-through to the upside tomorrow. I would be very hesitant to hold this, although I have not poked around under the GOOG hood to check theta, IV, volume etc.

Out of those GOOG puts at $3.60. Stupid loss but I was confident it would sell off towards the end of the day (and it did).

Ugh, should've held overnight. Would've come out with a 20% profit had I sold now. And the stupid calls I bought this morning are getting wrecked, I should've protected profits sold for a 30% profit about 30 mins ago.... horse.gif

Really man? If you held overnight you would have been holding through that run to 613 and then knew a sell to 601 was coming? Dont hindsight trade

I thought about buying some calls for PCLN while it was sub $710 but I didn't want to touch it. It's made a nice recovery so far and is up to $720. Earnings wise, they might beat.

Was watching PCLN for puts at $726 this morning ...fell to sub $710. Then watched it for calls from $712 to $721.

 

I didn't buy either time because of the premium. Did you see those things? LOL .... Options are very expensive because of the earnings tomorrow. eek.gif

laughing.gif I've thought about buying a share or two just to say, "I've traded the most expensive stock in the world." The volume is ridiculous, today it was 1,240 but I've seen it end the day at 300. It's actually had quite a nice run up in the past several months.

I told myself I wasnt trading this week, but one more wont hurt lol

 

Well sold my last option that I am going to trade for a while, decided to take a break from option trading, will continue to do long term holding, but with my stupid crazy work schedule and then trading during the day, I just need a break haha, have gotten out of shape and I need better sleep, so my final trade was some BP stuff I was holding. I held onto a few contract because I felt it would dip farther and it did.

 

Got out of my 41p  @ 1.15
