RIMM finally confirmed that double bottom so I added to the position. I personally think blackberries are garbage, no one i know likes theirs and I can't wait to get an iPhone. RIMM can buy it for me with a nice drop to $100.

I meant double top. Sorry.

Jeff, you have always talked about not holding options over earnings and I thought that I'd held APH over their earnings announcement on the 17th. I was really petrified when I went and saw that the stock was up dramatically on earnings announcement (I had puts as it's been in a down channel for months) and then realized my put expired tomorrow and I'D SOLD IT!!! WHEW!!!! But it proved to me that even when a stock's in a serious trend (either way) earnings can kill you.
I agree with Brett, although because I'm Canadian I HAVE to like RIMM... I'm buying puts on them right now. And tomorrow could be a biiiig drop.

Jeff, I got in CSH yesterday on a 45 put at 2.10, it is at 3.90 now. I also bought a put on RIMM today. I am looking for a big drop in the morning. Emily wanted to pull out of the CHS put, I told her to go to class and I would take care of it. We are still in, she always instant messages me while in class. She is a riot.

Jeff, I learned from you to never hold options over earnings. Unfortunatley I learned the hard way. It is part of my trading rules now.

Jeff-

Let me preface this by saying everything i've learned about price patterns is from you.

I heard you talk about a flag break on ICE on the 17th and i was kind of surprised. The volume was okay, but that candle didn't really bust out of the little channel i had drawn. Do you still feel that was just a failed breakout or maybe a little early on the trigger?

I'm just curious so i can help build my awareness of these patterns.
