these trades can happen on any day, at the moment you will notice there is high expectation from investors for a monsterous move probably to the downside so impled volitility is high which makes option price more expensive. That haliburton trade ...

2.5 hours to go before the market opens and the futures are all trading higher so If EWZ opens higher above 55.75 then I WILL NOT take the above trade however if it opens slightly above or at or even below yesterdays close of 55.42 then I'll take ...

reason I personally would not bother with EWJ is because its range is very narrow on a daily basis, now your 12$ put you were considering is just in the money with EWJ closing at 11.92 so you have 8c in the money and 3c time value left. EWJ moves ...

when you SELL calls you leave yourself open for unlimited upside risk, that stuff a stay well away from plus for 4c just not worth it or did you mean BUY

T.F. its taken almost 16 months to understand these explosive gamma trades or near expiration trades, its all i focus on, but one must be aware you are set to lose whatever you risk as there is very little time to make adjustments plus you must ...

Fool, sometimes you have to be careful with these high volume trades as institutions may use options as insurance for positions they already have the opposite way

Let's Trade Options

F. Interesting spot. Just had a look and i may be tempted to buy some if any week it can close above 55.85 in the next few months. yesterdays close at 54.43 may give us a short term daily play down past $54, yesterdays put closed for 23c With two ...

Facebook closed at $26.60 today so at opening tomorrow i will look to buy fridays expiration $26.00 put. closing price of the option was 7c, so baring no pre market shocks that option should open for around 5c, if it does then i'm buying FB May 2013 ...

Let's Trade Options

wulfgar, looked at fb it has to get above 27.20 for me to comfortable for a call spread. If this closes below 27.09 tomorrow then I'll consider buy a put option for a high gamma set up for fridays expiration. $26.50 or$26 put depends on where the ...
