I’m here to frolic..
Dr. Fly, I’ve stepped out into the prison yard, no one wants to fight…
Wait until morning.
Here, let me chum the waters: Last Friday, at the close, I saw an opportunity to take some $TWTR weekly 31’s, planning on a decent pop this week. The pop didn’t happen Tuesday morning, thus week, so I decided pull an absolute bitch move, and go trolling for affirmations on a position I already held. See here: http://ibankcoin.com/option_addict/2014/05/22/my-beloved-capital-welcome-home/#comment-38198
I became discouraged, and decided to salvage my premium (-10%), and move on to the next idea. Now I’m sulking around in a dour mood, as $TWTR has become one of the successful ideas of OA, and Chess. I fucked up..
Don’t sweat it Buccs. You will find another one!
Thanks, Jules. Being a short dated play, it was a small one. I’m just bummed at myself for being so weak.
sorry unc,i got you beat,was a poster here,who was also a ppt member,remember the”wife”. she was telling everyone she could think of to jump on qcor when it was just 2 bucks,sorry no (pun) intended,got sick of holding it,even sold it at a loss, look at the biaatch now. talk about fucking hurt…………….
drummer – Heartbreaker… There’s no way I would have been able to hold through all of that, but the 5yr view is legendary…
@UB damn you must feel like poopy…lol That sucks; felt like me back in February when I bought $16 calls in BKS when it was trading at $15 a share. I rode it down to $12.50 and sold at $13 only to have it rip into the final week of expiry to $21….Needless to say would’ve been over 1000% profit. I sold for a 60% loss in premium
Danny, I looked at that BKS chart. I wouldn’t have done any better. My problem w/ this TWTR trade was I had conviction about an idea, placed myself into a perfect spot, and conducted myself like a douchebag all the way out the door…
UncleBuccs, damn the number of times I gave up on trades just before they worked. Sucks, but, it works both ways as well. Trading this fuct up market will give you a case of the stupids at times.
rahagar – I have a case of “the stupids”, complicated by acute testicular atrophy.

Thank you , like in gen pop can be boring without outside activities .
bring them all out to the middle of the yard and then gas ’em.
Only retards trade options
Is that why people with inside information trade them?
thanks, Sir Fly for letting us out !!!
Snag a little CLVS below 55 to hold thru the weekend. Their presentation this weekend at ASCO could make a nice Monday AM Delight.
New target for XON?
Long Micron (MU) from $7, sold half at $29 yesterday, looking to sell the other half at $35, Long SUNE and GTAT from $8, looking to exit soon. Long FEYE from $34…
You merely adopted the darkness; i was born in it, molded by it…..
ADEP and PLUG gave me power this week but now trying to take it back. They think they have power over me
TWTR is getting ASS JACKED.
bot TWTR calls, to go with my MNST,FB and AAPL calls, and MNKD calls too. I trade options.
Shorting the gold miners via DUST from 28 and change. Shorting CAT now. Allahu flybar
I thought PANW was going lower, shitdick.
XON new near term price target?
Is there a good chance that options expiry today will push this higher?
I keep seeing these stocks fall 10-30% on earnings. has anyone considered buying OTM puts on mid-cap earnings releases for tech and retail sector?..maybe $200 a trade or so
