Sometimes its like that. Scary scary scary, oh not that [...]

Yes something worked! Being long the RUT. I had cut my NDX portion from Friday, I see I forgot to mention that. Got a little bit back there. Still long the RUT, and might buy the NDX tomorrow if we see the beginnings of a bounce tomorrow morning.
DSX - I dropped the DSX options for [...]

With the RUT now down 1.5% and the market teetering a little bit, I didn’t want to risk anymore with the BIIB calls. Took a 13% loss. They were breakeven yesterday and I almost took it. Either way happy to be out of the trade as it was an off system impulse trade and those [...]

CRDC - Big pop today. 8.4%. Broke up from its flag.
SEED - Popped 12.2%, I’m [...]

Staying long. I didn’t panic when we broke the 200dma’s on the indexes. No. Stayed strong and held on. 4% bounce today in the RUT and about 1% in the NDX.
ORCL is on my watchlist as an earnings play so I bought some ORCL Jan 22.5 calls near the close @ .50. There was very [...]

I noticed some serious strength in BIIB this morning. Bought the Jan 60 calls @ 2.65. I was trying to get my order through and realized I was in the wrong account and the Jan 60s were up over .45 by the time I executed the trade. Sucks for me.
BIIB may have gotten too cheap [...]
