Posted by Bob Frey on :
Trying .15
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Got um at .15
Posted by keithsan on :
you should get it, i took .20 impatient
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Don't think will break 5 today but before the 18th of March for sure in my mind.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
going to try getting some qxooi at the top of this bounce.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
In qxooi @ .60
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Watching the trades go through looks like a lot of little folks getting hurt by the look of the sells going through.
Posted by keithsan on :
got an order in for a dime to get me even at .15
Posted by keithsan on :
may grab some ooi for the day
Posted by keithsan on :

watching the q's but staying out for now
Posted by Bob Frey on :
In qqqol @ 1.20
Posted by keithsan on :

Posted by Bob Frey on :
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Don't think luck is in the cards. Markets are gonna tank any day now. And I would go long SIRI at about .75
Posted by Bob Frey on :

Posted by Bob Frey on :

Posted by Bob Frey on :
Trying 1.40 on the qqqol's
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Canceled the sell at 1.40
Posted by keithsan on :
holding QXOOA (i'm an idiot for rushing) and Qxooi
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Got QXOOA, QXOOI and a bunch of QQQOL.
CPI = As expected
I like a gap up on the open so the sellers can come in and whipe um up.
Posted by keithsan on :
CPI looks bad
no Q's for me, to many eggs in one basket at the moment!
CPI not looking that bad after a second look, slightly better than expectations.

2040 looking like the lid now.
Posted by keithsan on :
LOL- command center froze.... was looking at QQQOK will grab some if it pops back up to fill that gap
Posted by Bob Frey on :
FOMC meeting minutes due at 2pm. Sell offf before and after depends on what they say and the markets take.
I will try and dump the q's just before 2pm.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Looking like we got some more great trades.
Posted by keithsan on :
thanks for heads up, didn't give me a good oppurtunity to get in after the freeze
Posted by keithsan on :

Posted by keithsan on :
who the hell wants and IPOD anyways. was hoping to catch a quick .15 or so on the q's, before the meeting. got the feeling i'm holding through it though.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
I am going to hold as long as we stay in this area. I will have a market sell order readyat 1:55pm though.
Posted by keithsan on :
got my exit order in for .80 didn't fill on that dip yet
Posted by keithsan on :

Posted by Bob Frey on :

Posted by keithsan on :
good point
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Looking at INTC long EOD
Posted by keithsan on :
interesting
very interesting, cut projections 3% from 8 to 5, 23.00 is the same spot as the 50 MA. looks like overreaction, could be a nice bounce.
[ February 23, 2005, 14:46: Message edited by: keithsan ]
Posted by keithsan on :
didnt grab any intc.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
None here also.
Long hard to do these days.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
QQQOL trying at 1.25
Posted by Steve020866 on :
I picked up some (INTC) INQCE MAR 25 call @ .15 do you think i should hold for a day or 2 or sell it when it hits .25?
Posted by keithsan on :
see how it plays out watch the chart, good luck
Posted by Steve020866 on :
Thanks. I am hoping for a big jump at EOD, We'll see.
Thanks for the input you 2 (Keith & Bob) give, it has been helpful. Tried playing the stocks themselves with not much luck so i am hoping for a change with options. Not doing much better yet, I just had some expire worthless, yeehah what a start. Luck is about to change and with your input it should help tremendously.
I did pick up PFE options a week or so ago when you mentioned it but didn't have much to put into it. Still doubled the money though, THANKS.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
I would sell at .25 if you can make money.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
missed the q puts @1.25
Posted by keithsan on :
that was a great call those PFE's
sorry i can't offer more help, I try and not predict to much here, i take what i can get.. I love options though.
Posted by Steve020866 on :
Picked up some JUXCX, JNPR 22.5 call @ .45 RSI is showing oversold and the chart is looking good.
Posted by Steve020866 on :
Still waiting to pick up some SIRI Mar 5 Puts. I've had my order in since yesterday Morning @ .10 and it hasn't filled yet. A lot of sales going through at that price but no luck yet.
Posted by keithsan on :
still holding QXOOA obviously, still have my QXOOI from 55 and 60 Posted by Bob Frey on :
We having fun yet!
Posted by keithsan on :
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Love it when we get it right!
Posted by Steve020866 on :
I finally updated my by in price for QXOOA to .15 and picked some up. Nice call!!
Posted by keithsan on :
glad you did steve. make some bank,
the plan was to sell my QXOOI on break of 5.28 but....
still holding, should break 5 by wed's, hopefully sooner
Posted by Bob Frey on :
With BIIB in the QQQQ you would have thought the q's would be way down. Wonder whats going on.
Posted by keithsan on :
SIRI up on news from of XM raising prices to SIRI prices......
got greedy a bit here
Posted by Bob Frey on :
SIRI will fall from here.
Posted by keithsan on :
I agree.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Ouch in premarket. 5.85
Posted by Steve020866 on :
quick question. I picked up some SIRI Mar 6 calls when i got the Mar 5 puts. Where do you think this will actually turn back down? I only picked up 25 but got them at .10
Posted by keithsan on :
nice price!
I'm jealous! When it closed at HOD I figured it would pop this am. looking for it to bang off of 5.90 (hopefully not 6.) and begin its down turn EOD or tomorrow. IMO its a combo-oversold bounce/xm news
Posted by Bob Frey on :
I think she will tank. Will see 5 before 6 in my opinion.
Posted by Steve020866 on :
cool thanks. I will set my sell price at .20 and see if it goes.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Market has a negative feel this am to me. Futures say its going up though.
Posted by keithsan on :
market will be down today, looks like an am pop and then dooooooowwwwwnnnn Posted by Bob Frey on :
Thinking the same.
Posted by Steve020866 on :
well sold the SIRI Mar 6 call for .30 and put that into the SIRI Mar 6 Put. I am also still holding the SIRI Mar 5 Put.
Lets hope for a big drop
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Dam thing allmost got to 6 ok now 5.
Nice trade Steve!
Posted by Steve020866 on :
Did you see where StockPickReport sets SIRI as strong buy? I wonder what the basis for that is.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
no. And have no idea.

looks like that synopsis was fairly accurate, made a new low EOD, should open lower or gap down slightly, just my humble thoughts.
Posted by keithsan on :
small gap down.
Posted by keithsan on :
QQQOL order in at .50 missed hod while at lunch with students, thinking it may pop up, 0il at 52 looks like a down late day/tomorrow.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Hard to imagine why this dam thing ( SIRI) is running but it just hit 6!
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Trying qxooi @.2
Trying @ .30
[ March 02, 2005, 12:45: Message edited by: Bob Frey ]
Posted by keithsan on :
I'm still in that one at .55 and i have wAY too much in that basket already.....
I need to diversify my risk better. as well as take some profit:)
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Diversify has always been a problem for me as a trader. As an investor ok but. When trying to trade it is hard enough to get one right much less a diversified bunch.
Posted by keithsan on :
Just walked in, oils at 53 and no fill on my QQQOL....damn jobs.
Posted by keithsan on :
market pissin me off this week.
on other notes: Siri should open down tomorrow again, lets hope it holds that down this time.
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Plenty of time if your still holding.
Posted by keithsan on :
yep, still holding everything, expecting a better day tomorrow.and week following. very odd week so far, oil at highs....
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Trying for more QXOOI @.3
Got more @.35
Posted by Bob Frey on :
I sure hope this falls as hard as I think it should.
Looking at more puts here and I have a ton now.
Posted by keithsan on :
chart says down, fundamentals say down. XM is already down...market going down...
Posted by Bob Frey on :
The 2.50 looks really good. I try to keep my Strike + Premium as close a dollar of the current stock price. Right now it's at .31...which is a really good play...especially for a LEAP...
Posted by Bob Frey on :
looking ok this am.
Posted by keithsan on :
yep nice close and good open....
Posted by keithsan on :
nice close still no bid on qxooa need that pig to start moving
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Hard to think no one buying these puts here. No premium at bid. QXOOI @ 55 X 60
Posted by keithsan on :
i'm still holding that from .55
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Average .4 here.
Posted by keithsan on :
ooa finally has a bid again.
Posted by DENSKIJR on :
Hey Bob or Keith,
this maby a stupid question but I use ameritrade and trying to find a price quote for qxooa and found nothing Im not sure if I have the wrong ticker or what stock am I looking for. just starting to learn options so this is probably a dumb question but oh well you gotta start somewhere right. thanks for your help
Dennis
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Den may need to add a .X to the symbol or something else. Contact ameritrade.
Posted by keithsan on :
I have ameritrade for options punch in qqqq for symbol then option chain and you will find it under march puts.
if your using live quotes or apex command center for options if you know the title put a + in front of it. for this it would be +QXOOA it will give live bid/ask high low and last price. etc...
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Gapping the wrong way this am.
Posted by keithsan on :
did that on friday too, hopefully follows same pattern, no support....
Posted by Bob Frey on :
Grabbed some of the SIRI APR 2005 6.00 PUT QXOPI
Posted by keithsan on :
Out qxooi .75
stuck with my qxooa, shoulda learned about buying out of the money before i bought. Won't happen again Posted by Bob Frey on :
Ya should have made money with the 5 puts as well.
Posted by keithsan on :
It was a good play, but, I had 5 weeks playing option, all green. took ALL my earnings and put into an out of the money play with no knowledge and lost it ALL. back to were I started,
By the way, since i started options it is my only RED Posted by Bob Frey on :
so ya up or down overall so far?
Posted by keithsan on :
overall up a little, was over double what i started with....
not much volume on those qxopi's today, may grab some, want to see how the recent upgrade plays out.
Posted by keithsan on :
quote:Originally posted by Bob Frey: Grabbed some of the SIRI APR 2005 6.00 PUT QXOPI
grabbed some today too.
Posted by Steve020866 on :
Check out this option list on EOG. Why do you think that people are buying the 80,85,90,95 calls for a stock that is only at 45.50. Is there something there that I don't know about.
Also AAPL had high volume on some of the calls that are almost double the stock price with volume on calls from 85 to 135 on a 42.50 stock. What's up with that????
