I'm only gonna bet small on it so not worried if it loses. This is just experimenting for me.

 

The downgrades are for a retail psych job.  The smarter money has already had a heads up for a while.   Just been my experience with these and why I don't take those things seriously anymore.  It's why you get upgrades and see rallies get sold into by institutional money.

 

I mean think about it .... 50% of the float comes free on a 4 year low? wink.gif

Well you can say that about anything then. There would be no point to this thread really in that case because every large block buy/sell could be a hedge to their position.

 

Also, if you look at the OI they aren't high on any strikes. So if what you say is true about the smart money already knowing about the downgrades they would have capitalized from it. But because there is no high OI or volume for that matter prior to today I find it hard to believe that's the case.

 

But like I said, it's gonna be a small play anyway.

I understand what you're saying here. Makes sense, but... ROVI has been in a huge downtrend for a year now. Look at what happened on the last gap down from November 2011....

 

Same thing could have been said for that right?

 

It was at $30 then. It's now at $13....

Yes, but consider that $30 was twice the book value .... which is $15.85 .....

 

There have been no other weekly selling climaxes like the one we just saw.  IMO this has the looks of a brand new cycle taking shape ..... a stage 1.

So then you're saying they'll beat and rally?

Not playing, just watching.

It's not an earnings I would play based on what I showed you.  I mean 1,000 block of options really isn't that much in light of events that have recently played out.  Just my opinion though.
