Top Pick Tomorrow – XONE
– Option Addict
Now, when we fought, you had that eye of the tiger, man; the edge! And now you gotta get it back, and the way to get it back is to go back to the beginning. You know what I mean?
-Apollo Creed
Do you read that as X-one, cksone, zwon, xone, or something else.
KRS – One ?
this APOL trade is getting absolutely stupid to the upside. Man, talk about feeling left out. No Drago today, all Apollo.
If you listened to last night’s AOWOA, you would know that he expected this. He said it would run up all day, and of course, he was right, as usual.
it was too late to get in that point.
I’ve been in and out of conference calls/meetings last 3 days. My trading has suffered as such with bad exits and missed trades. Nature of the beast, i’m pouting but i’ll get over it. lol
Sorry, I took this last week. Laid out the entire plan with the trade last week. Sorry if you missed it.
I’ve said from the onset – $27.
if it manages to break $27, its clear air to $40
Hello OA ,
Any thoughts on DV for earnings play ?
Casino play…Long ANGI, small earnings play…should rip higher with massive short squeeze if surprise earnings.
Options are pricing a 20% move. Yikes
Herb Greenberg on CNBC just criticized the APOL story and the bid was not hit on the stock at all. I guess we no longer have to have the TV while trading.
Herb Greenberg had one of the worst calls of all time abt 10 years ago when he was pounding the table to short MNST ( Hansen at the time).He’s a knucklehead.
Dude! I was all over that MNST:

It was a monster stock, pun intended. Homerun.
is trading webinar not working today?
He’s out of office for the afternoon, but should be back for after hours session.
I’ve been here all day. You guys having some issues?
i tried logging in twice and got the white screen listing the phone numbers….no audio or video.
CNBC wants you to guess which stock they are talking about. Funny.
All they needed to say was which stock did OA crush today.
Are you playing earnings with ffiv or did you drop this earlier ?
dropped last week
Thinking about doubling down on YGE at .45 (In most of my options @ .75).
Any thoughts ?
Which do you have, Ian? I’m in X9s
Sorry – probably should have said that.
Nov Monthly 8’s
I’m thinking about it too – will probably just wait until I get my usual buy signal
Would appreciate a heads up in here if you do.
Thanks Cheese
Will do, Ian
Herb greenberg is Apollling
Good One !
In the FWIW column, if you had bought GLD Nov 1 120’s on 10/15/2013, your return as of today would be EXACTLY 100.00%.

ANR up 5% so far today.
ANR yet another thing of beauty by the master OA
OA, got lucky with FNMA. I had jumped into it couple of days ago. In fact posted it here on your blog. Question – when would you book the profits? It seems it is just breaking out of a long term consolidation cycle. It could go higher. But it is also a volatile stock.
Thoughts?
Quickly. They don’t stay long.
Finally got a fill on the dip on XONE

Guess the source (institution or person) of the following quote – bonus, guess the date of this quote (no Googling, it must be a REAL guess – and cheaters never prosper).
In its most recent trading session, APOL has closed at a price level that was not very different from its closing price of one year earlier. This is probably due to its weak earnings growth as well as other mixed factors. The fact that the stock is now selling for less than others in its industry in relation to its current earnings is not reason enough to justify a buy rating at this time.
I’m going to have to say……..seeking alpha?? (I’m Ron Burgundy?)
Nah – but points for the effort.

YOLO, angi?
Options have priced in a 20% move.
ouch thanks, just one of those hairbrained last minute ideas, your level headedness is appreciated
guess not, only monthlys
Looking at JRCC here… Ready to go, or too much over-head traffic? Opinions?
only .20 range from here, so might as well jump in and see where she goes
OIBR too. move a bit lower to $1.75-1.80 is great entry. easy to manage with support at $1.50
what does one do with LITB, which is slowly dragging the portfolio lower?
i dropped it yesterday. glad to be done with it. hate the website and now hate the stock. haha
Sell it, like I did. Easier on the soul
done….looking forward to a sweet option play to recoup that dog
Agree 100%. Crappy stocks seem to stress me way more than decaying options. Weird.
“Hedge fund manager Mark Spitznagel predicts huge pullback for stocks. How bad is it? Tune in now to find out!” LOL CNBC… love it.
OA, would you sell FFIV if you were still holding now?
Kinda funny question. Only insiders know at this point
Only if I were wearing my while gloves and had Chipotle for lunch.
hold! bet they get to $100
Coach OA, I have been following from afar, but did catch the APOL and ANR, ur still throwin’ the heat…u still in YGE?
In YGE, yes.
thanks, will hold YGE….is FFIV and VMW good longs?
APOL taki.ng another run at 27
My ANR target was $6.75 which is high within consolidation range, and also previous support level, now resitance. Anyone else have targtes/ideas?
NOV 6 calls. will hold stock LT
bot common today at 6.12 and sold half at 6.53 at the close – next target area is above 6.87
GME still game? (pun not intended) sold out yesterday morning, wondering if i jump back in for a new high.
Has anyone tracked the other stocks in the education sector, in light of APOL ?
GNC! Word.
BIDU looks good. Too bad next weeks options are super expensive. Might try this weeks 155’s if it puts in a higher low on the 10d 10m around 153.50. Might also be pushing my luck on this with the back to back week BIDU YOLO.
Jeff…gonna bail from this thread if the insults/profane trolls can’t cease..not a prude…but ya know ,enough
