NTRI is a joke.  That stock is in the shorts hands for now.  This stock is dirt cheap for the long term as in next 4-5 months your getting a bargain at this price.  Load up and average down if it hits 43 (which I doubt it ever does)

Looking ahead, even though traditionally this seasn is the one to be long in the market, can one really say that this year, in any way, is conforming to "tradition?"
 Simply put, I tend to think this market is going to tank, and tank big. I am tempted to short the S & P. Anyone have strong thoughts regarding the term from now to January 1?

Lippsman,

See now that they are going to land GOOG at 560, those short puts are likely to finish at ZIPPO, so the 7 bucks in premium short are yours to keep..I am not shocked but pissed because they closed the 560 calls yesterday at 45 cents and I could have taken that chance, but didnt.

Now the only way to play the stock is to buy the calls below the strike, the 550s or the puts above if the stock goes over 560 for a time..

Unreal..

They are running FSLR to 110 for expiry.

DRYS running as well..shocking moves to be honest.

Considering some Oct 110s on FSLR today..too pricey though.

Speaking of DRYS, the Sept 80s are a 17 bagger today..

DRYS is almost a 7 bagger in less than a year.  Somehow I never find those.  That chart is insane.

Vermeer,

No way on PALM..they dissapoint and at a 30 PE are overpriced for the growth the have, or dont have for a better word.

I would never consider purchasing that stock.

Looks to be 560 on the nose.  I think some 550 puts for Oct will pan out just fine.  Just be sure to jump out when it hits a bit below that so you don't end up getting screwed when it starts to go back up.

Oh no, I didn't touch those.  I was too concerned about my Dell which held on by the skin of it's teeth.  Again, it payed back a great deal by taking something that was already in the money.

And what gets me is that the stock fell flat after a great earnings report.

Lippsman,

I dont get that..

So did you buy the 27.50s at some point in the past and sold them today?

Yesterday would have been better to sell since it had a day of time premium, unless you sold when it was up earlier in the day.

Maybe you are doing somthing different than I am thinking you are...

We can discuss this in more detail through other mediums.

I sold them yesterday when it was up more.  I just found it odd that the stock didn't jump today.  But as my last post said, I'm back in once again.  I think this time it will hit $30 though.  But as you see, I'm playing it safe once again.

Maybe I should make it a bit more clear what I said.  When I said it payed back a great deal, I meant that if I took the $30 like I wanted to I would of lost everything, instead of taking a slight hit by taking the $27.50 calls.
