To be honest, I still don't understand what option or what your doing. If you know what your doing then make that
I took a trading class a few weeks ago, and I see the pattern and trend that they taught us. Some stock is a bit hard to see, so I move on to the next. Now back to GOOG, I see a gap up back in Jan 23's which is what the Pro's did to drive the number up. It may never get fill, but around April 19's you see a small strong drive up from 760's to 800's so to me, it look like it may go back to that number and then shoot up to $1000's. Again, the trend look like it's still going up.
Any other stock you buying or looking, like to see these chart to learn more .. I'm also holding FTNT if your interested, got it around $17's .

FB probably will do well. It will, IMO at least be a place for high school and college aged people. Adults may use Linked in and google + more, but FB will probably always be around at this point.
A put option is an option to sell a stock.
When I purchased the $900 put, it cost me $20.60 per share, and options are sold only in 100 blocks, which is why I paid $2060.
If the stock opens at $890, for example, tomorrow. My 1 $900 June 22 put, would be worth a minimum of $1000 more added onto $2060. Why? because people that bought goog in this frenzy over the past two days are going to want to be able to sell their stock for $900 a share and not $890. However, since I bought an option, time is working against me.
The best way to learn about options is to use what's called a covered call.
For example.. If you buy ford at 14.75, let's say 100 shares today. Then sell a $15 September call for $0.80, then you'd pocket $80 and never have to pay it back. The if the stock stays at $14.75 by the 3rd week in September, you'd be $80 richer and still on you still own Ford. If the stock goes to 15.50, then you'd have $80 PLUS the 100 quarters as the person that bought the option off of you would "exercise" their option to buy the stock off of you for $1500.
For my friends who are rookie investors, I tell them to buy 105 shares of a stock, and then sell 1 call on a price just higher than your average price. Then, when the stock goes up, hopefully, you'll get called off, but you'll still own 5 shares. And these 5 shares are primarily a free wager as the option one sells probably covers the price of the stock's 5.

My goog play got stopped out at a loss as it ran up this morning to 920. I still think there's a shorting opportunity, but I'm going to focus my efforts on timing GLD and AAPL. I still believe AAPL is over $500 by the end of June, and GLD is over 150 by the end of June, also.

I believe you might be right, the trend on a closer chart look like it's going sideway right now, but when you pull back it look like the trend is going back up. How far, I'm not sure.. But if you predict $475 then make that

Thanks haus....We'll see. I'm actually more optimistic about GLD.
It should be mentioned that AAPL is currently at $443 and GLD is currently $134.
I don't use a platform. I like to "FADE" the news reports the day after they arise along with using 38%, 50% and 62% fibonacci retracement levels. I also do pay attention to volume spikes.
The always use stops.
