good on you guys that have it. This year has been good to you with it.
No and I was considering buying some actually. I really like what they have been doing lately. Congrats GB!AMAZON!!!!
Bob, I know you were shorting them earlier. Did you stick with that? Sorry if so.
Sold today at $60.75 for a loss of $664 after commissions. I didn't want to be holding this long then I read this story. The first version said it was an oil cargo ship. I didn't want to hang around for the aftermath of that bull####.I have 200 SCO at $64.00. MIssed another 100 at $58.00 yesterday.
I saw this article after the close yesterday.
Bought at 380 - doubled up at 330 - sold around 350 for a slight loss. Pretty much the story of my life. At least i held DDD. I will be walking off a bridge later.AMZN

There are some people here who buy options, but your question is a little broad. What are you looking to accomplish with them?rOption trading (specifically buyer of calls/puts)..................how horrible an idea?
No idea what I would be trying to accomplish. I barely know anything about them. In fact, 30 minutes of reading last night is the only thing I have ever read about them.There are some people here who buy options, but your question is a little broad.

I personally only sell options, bu there is the resource I always recommend. Has articles, online and in-person seminars -- all free.
Spend some time and see if there is a strategy that works for you. You will need to apply to your broker before you can trade them.
My broker is Schwab. Been with them forever and they have everything I need and good customer service.

The levels are 0-3 and buying a call or put requires level 1.I think I was initially a 0. I then reapplied later to get up to level 3. Took me two tries. I assume it is related to how many options trades you made or how long since you were last approved.If it is some sort of process applying to people and whatnot I probably just say screw it. Was just curious.
This stock market thingie is so odd.Bought some WWE at $14.11/shr. I think people are overreacting to the subscriber numbers and the numbers from last night's wrestlemania shows that wrestling is still very popular.
They should have a promotion where a random shareholder gets a date with Paige or AJ Lee. That would be awesome.
I will write covered calls from time to time. If the market is whipsawing good chance they are filled. I wrote covered calls on my entire fb position which were called at 65. Nice profit for me but I lost the stock. Really depends in what you are trying to do with them. Uncovered put/calls are a pure bet. Be careful.Option trading (specifically buyer of calls/puts)..................how horrible an idea?
(sorry if this has been discussed but didnt wanna read through 70 pages to find out)
edit....also one other quick question. What site do you guys use for trading and why?
so dumb... hold another month and that 3K becomes 8KOut 1750 shares of UCO for a profit of $3,050
I left the order on, and it filled Wednesday at a cost basis of $37.16 after commission. I'm cautiously optimistic, but I'll have a quick hook on this one.I put in an order for TWTR at $37, figuring it would go down some more. Of course, it bounced this morning. The order is GTC, but I'll probably take it off if it doesn't fill by Friday.
Bought another 100 @ $54.27 today for 200 @ $55.33In for 100 SCO @ $56.38
It might take a while to get a listing but if you pressure your broker to buy Canadian, you might be able to buy shares.Cam you even invest in bitgold in the US?BitGold
Out at $58 for a profit of $513 after commissions.Bought another 100 @ $54.27 today for 200 @ $55.33In for 100 SCO @ $56.38
I probably did not provide enough background on this one. Today, with a few state exceptions the longest combination vehicles that can be run are double 28' trailers. The advantage of 56' over the standard 53' trailer are nice but not necessarily a deciding factor given the complications of running doubles. However, once you start talking double 33' trailers. Now we're talking 13x10x8 or over 1000 cubic feet more per possible pull. The pull is represented bya 6 figure power unit consuming a ton of energy and a dwindling and valuable resource represented by the driver. 25-30% increase in utility for the really important resources involved in trucking could mean a significant revolution in the industry.Drifter said:Longer term play - Legislation to allow double 33' trailers in the T-HUD appropriations bill has passed its first congressional hurdle. If this gets passed, it could be a pretty big windfall for the trailer manufacturers. Among the major manufacturers the only one that is pubic and not part of a larger corporation (like Hyundai) is Wabash - WNC. They are currently trading at their post 2008 high so there may be some risk there.

I heard about this last week. From what I understand there is a lot of blowback from States because their infrastructure can't handle these things.I probably did not provide enough background on this one.

Not true. There are two debates currently - increasing size and increasing weight. Weight is the issue that might have an impact on infrastructure and the current bill doesn't increase weight limits. Also, the waters are somewhat muddy as the rail industry is pouring millions into lobbying against most measures as it directly hurts their business.I heard about this last week.

They are two different things. The bill I am referring to is to increase the size of trailers running in tandem to 33' each from 28' each. It does nothing to address current weight limits. There may be potential blowback based on infrastructure if the weight limit were to be included, but it doesn't so as far as the pending legislation is concerned, there is no blowback.Drifter said:Not true.
