SANTA OR DIE

This is it folks (extra Denninger). We’re either going into the cesspool of hell or hopping aboard the “deathsled” to bestow a great pain and misery, a final blow of sorts, to the childish morons who continuously short this market.

Last week the tape was weak; but you wouldn’t know it by reading iBankCoin. The Option Addict pulled off one final “epic trade” for the ages, getting long massive quantities of TWTR December 50 calls, all done under $1. Some of his members, inside of After Hours with Option Addict, got in sub .20 (+6,500+). Do you know where said options are trading now?

Almost $10.

Jeff bought a house with the proceeds, literally.

Just to put this trade into perspective, had you dropped $5k into the TWTR calls when he suggested, those same calls would be worth over $65,000 today.

Isn’t this what we’re here for? How many of you made over 1,000% on this trade?

Congratulations to all of those who participated in this trade (tips hat).

As for my BALT position: I believe the Morgan Stanley analyst has it all wrong when he says GNK is an overhang on BALT, keeping the shares down due to uncertainty. I believe GNK is negotiating a pre-packaged bankruptcy and such an event will not affect BALT equity holders. Why else would Centerbridge take a 14% stake in BALT, just last month? They are most likely working with GNK on the bankruptcy details.

At any rate, I expect trading to be thin and volatile, as most hedge fund managers move to cash to lock in great gains. After all, these gents would like to get paid their $100 million bonuses. Any hedge fund related sell off in December will most likely result in a January boom, so hang tight and pick your battles carefully.

    In regards to holiday parties, if the guest asks you to remove one’s footwear upon entering the home, what is propper protocol?

    Does anyone think we will hear tapering news this week? My guess is that they leave everything the same and we continue are cocaine party.

    I entered at 0.25 with pretty heavy investment – so far the returns are at 3212%. – but remember, this trade ain’t over yet…

    A quick check of Fly’s match. If you went in with $5,000 @ 0.25 per option, at $10 per contract the net worth of those options would be (200 contracts x $10) $200,000, not $65000.

    He said when OA suggested, which was original 85 cents.

    Also, I hope it’s not a “final epic trade” as I hope we land one or two next year.

      Ah – I was going by his talking about people who had got in sub 0.20 and using the 0.25 for nice even numbers.

    The $65K comes from 6500 contracts at $.20 each, now worth $10. 6500 x .2 = $1300. $1300 x 50 = $65K.

    Great trade Jeff.
