this dude made 2.5 million trading options in just a couple days. i am sure insider trading was involved though. Efkie, where you at? what you think? u the options guy

Lol@ OPTION GUY

It's a VERY big risk to invest 100k to buy 3000 call option contracts at a price of 35 cents. :smh:
If the news wasn't received well by the market and those options went from 35 cents in value to 17 cents then that 100K that the trader invested would have been halved. Stupid RISK to take ......UNLESS you know something is going to happen. :rolleyes:

Good for this trader...... BUT it can also go horribly wrong like this guy
He invested €2800 on a euro/franc CFD position and lost €280,000 when the Swiss National Bank removed its currency peg.
He was leveraged 1:400 :eek:

Check out the links below. I use Scottrade and it costs $7/trade. Also, if I don't understand the product or how it works, then I don't invest in it.:D

My mom introduced me to sharebuilder.com. What other websites should I look into to join. I need to sign up somewhere in which I can get into international trading.

The IV rank in AMZN (about 80%) is too good to pass up. :)
I think the stock will not fall to 340.
Therefore Sell -3 vertical PUT options AMZN 100 JUN 15 350 / 345
Risking 1200 $ to make 260$

There is always the commodities futures and forex market to trade.:yes:

And in a down stock market, always go short major stocks that are market leaders! :yes::dance:

good tips

Where the cat that said buy ECOB and RWLK? That's what I wanna know. Damn you, nicca.:hmm:

i endorsed RWLK and i made money off of it but i didn't mention ECOB. i guess i got out at the right time for RWLK. i am really surprised that it kept dropping the way it did. i am optimistic it will rise again given some time because dude, seriously, just look at what their product. it's a live changing invention. society or should i say Wall street might not appreciate it now

why didnt you drop that LCI, I thought the rule was get out at no more than a 10% loss. or am I crazzy?

well, depends on what book you're reading. some say 10, others say 11, etc....i don't really ascribe to any schools of thought when it comes to dropping a stock. i look at current events, fundamentals, and whatever product they're offering instead....and make a decision based on that

How yall been doing on your stocks? I'm currently sitting on the sidelines. The Chinese stock market is going through hell.

I'm going to sit out until I feel we hit bottom.
