It Sucks to be a Trader!

2 weeks back, I had a nice position in [[IPI]]. I bought 20 calls around 0.55 cents, right now the same calls are trading at $13.30.

You do the math.

    Agree, but is this market not too choppy not to take profits ?

    Also, Zanger picks winners maybe 35 % of time. (Your strike rate is astonishing 90% I would say) but he holds his winners for weeks and months and then margins, goes all in, banking insane coin, mind you, with less % of winners.

    I was in the same situation with IPI.

    If we knew the stock was going that high we would have both bought 2000 call options on it.

    Still sucks though

    Blue, I wish I did, I had a huge gain and took it.

    But had I held, it would have made my year.

    Oh well,

    turning $1,100 into $26,600 is not fun for you?

    multiply the 13.30 x 20 x 100

    I guess you are not too bullish on SOHU anymore.
    That one died nicely.
