Oh Yeah, Just Wondering...



Recommendation: It is multiple choice, but I'd appreciate your opinion. Not eveyone likes the "addict" color theme, and I am open to making changes.

PS- You can also leave a comment in the "other" field.

my ex-girlfriend was easy like sunday morning, but thats neither here nor there...

Hi Everyone,

Jeff, is TNH a good stock for intraday play?

Thanks and i learn a lot from this blog.

By the way, as a good citizen of optionaddict community, i have voted already.

It disturbs me to see "Knight Rider" in front of a Vespa. I mean, at one time he did have the coolest car ever.

Jeff,

Are you feeling nostalgic over yesteryear? Just wondering because of your choice of music lately.

Seems like the market isn't doing much of anything at the moment. With bated breath?

liz

Black is beautiful!

Let's see, The Dude, Hasselfhoff and Lionel all sharing the front page. That's an eclectic mix. Why not some Richard Simmons also to pump us up? Thank goodness there's also a picture of your lovely bride to balance things out.

ORCL looks interesting today.

Peter V

PBR is coming out of a flag 12 point possible move? also splitting
plus oil I do not know what effect the fed will do to oil

DG, if you want to get out of AMAG before the announcement , put an order in maybe 40 cts under the current offering. You my get out.

Jamie

Addict,

Anyone has the Investools basic and Advanced option manuals for sale ? I lost mine. Please email me at tena281@gmail and we can negotiate the price.

Kas

What, are we haning out at the Kohler Cafe waiting for Fed-speak?

Michelle

oops. "hanging"

Jeff,

Who the heck cares about what the "Gritchers" think about your blog color! It's your blog. It's your personality. Do it the way you want. They should be thankful they are receiving the blessing for all you do for us option addicts, instead of gritching about the color background. I won't vote because I don't want to influence you in any way. THANK GOD FOR JEFF KOHLER AND HIS BLOG!!!!! Repeat that 20 times. It has a nice ring to it.

Kas,

If you still have access to Investools and your on-line courses, you can print a copy or even make a PDF of the current documentation.

Liz, I'm with you girl...black is back!

As I've watched my account pre-announcement it's kind of funny, literally up, down, up, down and now back up as we get to the run up at 1:15 CDT. It's like the market is just looking for an excuse to go crazy to the upside!

I like the black background, but sometimes I want to copy, paste and print something and don't want to use all my black ink....

Jeff:

All of a sudden LZ spreads on options are crazy. Any explanation?

They were not like that last week?

ADDICTS

While waiting on the announcement, I ask a question. Bette 80's show, Knight Rider or A-team?

Grant

All we need now is a drum roll.....

If you "want to copy, paste and print something...", then copy and paste into a text document, like Notepad, Word or other document application, then you can save, print, etc and you won't get the black background!

Blogging from the plane right before takeoff. Calling all addicts. PLEASE hold up the market while I'm in the air. Get a burrito, get a white mocha, do something.

I love the blog as is.

Long: Anxiety
Short: Midgets

H,mm...seems like all trading has stopped...

We got your back Brett....I am doing an expresso for ya buddy..

We've got you covered Brett. On top of that, I had my Franziskaner Hefe-Weissbeir...(last night) to stave off the bad Fed energy! Have a good flight!!!

Just bought DECK pre -FED OOOOOOH!

Have a great flight!

For those of you feeling nostalgic over "knight rider" now.

Here's a link to the theme song...

http://teamknightrider.com/music/music.html

Couldn't resist.

liz

DECK and CMI screaming higher!!!

Even my puts are behaving (somewhat) post announcement except LCC.

Good Job Raimo!

So was the news positive? I can't really tell.

Michelle

Knee -Jerk @ least CPO didn't retrace!

COL on your radar? Breaking up!

EGN.....

Initially the market liked it, then it didn't...it's still sorting it out. Looks like it's moving/moved back up. (You should be able to tell by looking at your own acct or the broader markets.)

This is not atypical. Watch your trades as we approach the market close.

Benton , I bought COL today it seems to be holding ground

SNHY
Great stock, too bad no Options.

Brett is going nuts I am sure...

OF - I play it quite a bit ... it's has a history of pretty smooth moves. I'm in with you ....

Short

ALB, PAY, CEG, EGN, BSC

Long

GOOG, AAPL (still), PCU, MLM

Bob, Are you playing EGN to the downside. I see is a descending triangle worth 5.00 moving back up to hit its head on resistance @ 55.00 correct me if I'm wrong!

Brett's been around long enough...okay yeah, probably! He'll be reassured as soon as he powers that laptop up as he's walking off of the plane!

Well at least now we can get back to normal, what ever that's supposed to be lately.

EGN to the downside, and I took TOL to the downside when I mentioned it last week....

Well, if this is the market rally, then I'd better buy some more puts.

Michelle

My only frustrating trade is AAPL..I know I got in early,but it is still within my pattern...so...its a small postion, I am playing the old I-phone hype...and uptrend and analyst upgrade...but small postion so if I am wrong I'll get out unscathed...

Michelle, I bet you forgot to put on rally cap! I'm still looking for mine, I know it here somewhere?

Bob,
If that is your only frustrating trade, man, you got it made.

Michelle

your rally cap! so much for proof reading! always after the fact...

Not certain if I am taking a trade, but GRP is UGLY...

Looking for a close below $54....

Bob:
AAPL
Couldnt agree more. I have a very small position too, and staying there for now.

Who is supposed to make the market rally? Maybe we should all start buying? (laughter.) Okay, so we aren't Warren Buffet. I am going to go do something else. My account is about the same, some up, some down, but nothing breaking support. Just hope we don't have counter-Fed day tomorrow (laughs hysterically now.) Okay. It's been a long couple of weeks.
Michelle

Okay everyone press send!

I'm a little late in reading the blogs today. I think I could have helped you out, Brett. You're from Omaha, right? And if you're flying to Chicago, you're probably passing over my house (I live in the Okoboji Lakes area). . . I'll post the Fed response on my roof and all you need to do is take a look out the window.
Lori

Michelle,

R u still in your CME call??

Long:

OXY, MMM, RL, CLB, FCX, MLM, CTV

SHORT:

KIM, MSTR, PBCT, AMAG, ALB, ROG, JWN, BSC

MMM IS FRUSTRATING-SEEMS TO BE IN A CHANNEL. I WILL EXIT JWN IF IT CLOSES ABOVE MY RESISTANCE OF 50.25.

EVERYTHING ELSE SEEMS TO BE HOLDING UP. i HAVE 15 POSITIONS WHICH IS REALLY TOO MANY BUT IT SO HARD TO PASS UP A GOOD POSSIBILITY. I ONLY HAVE 1 OPTION IN EACH.

Yes, I am. Couldn't let it go. It now has made up almost half of what I was down. This market is just crazy.

Michelle

P.S. Plus it's a September

Michelle,

CME will retest $560 again. If it bounces back down off $560, get out.

Raimo,

You still short LCC?

I have support at ~29.9 (diag) and 30.2 (horiz), which means I'm busted. You have anything different, I don't have my Prophet Charts available at the office?

Grant,

to answer your earlier question, (knigt rider, A team, Bette), the answer is:

DUKES OF HAZZARD!

LCC at $31.17, gapped up from $29.67. Resistance at $32.50....get out if it breaks that.

Great, thanks! I owe you a Yuengling or twelve!

Bob

That's a good one, it is tough to fight with some good old boys and the general lee.

How about Macgyver?

Ah, yes, the good ole general Lee
and Macgyver another great
watched them both there's nothing better
cept a yuengling and a real hot date!

I see consistent weaker daily (pos.) volume on BSC do you think it will turn over @ 145.00. or is it wishful thinking?

optionfanatic..

I am with you..I am holding my BSC, it will turn and go lower..may take a few days, but it is going to go down...

MLHR broke support on long H&S with volume on earnings news. $7 target.

Bob

Since I respect you so much as a fellow trader and I see you as a man of great culture I poise another question?

Better movie "Smokey and the Bandit" or "Cannonball run".

Golf clap all around

Grant

Thank's Bob. I always appreciate your input!

The Honeymooners! only kidding!

Oh, Grant, what a bunch of guy movies. Ugggg.
Thanks, Bob. I am keeping my eye on it. I have found that sometimes when I freak out and act too soon, I lose money. I try to calmly do what I need to and give things a few hours or days to shake out.

BSC, LCC -- I'm in those, too. Luckily, only one put each.

Michelle

Spaceballs beats the bandit and the run...

Like FFH, it is actually down now.

Michelle

Okay. I am going to start naming chick flicks in a minute:

When Harry Met Sally
Emma

Don't make me do it (laughter.)

Michelle

I see your shwartz is as big as mine, the question is do you know how to use it?

Great memories;)

Come on Michelle

As a girl you got to love the Bandit!

Waitress, I have whatever she eating!

Spaceballs,
Dark Helmet, Pizza the Hut,
Classic movie Bob

comb the planet, gimme some paw...yeah, a really funny classic...


anyway, later addicts, I am off to baltimore for the yankee game, my sons 14th b-day today..and he is a die hard yankee fan..

Optionfanatic
You aren't serious about the honeymooners? I suppose if I mention My Little Margie or My Mother the Car I'll be on my own here too, huh.
Lori

Bob, Have a great time. I'm also going to take in some minor league ball game over the week end.

I Got best ever

NERDS

Lori, Its a chance sometimes you have to take. Stocks and options will do it to you, I,m ready for a long weekend!

What would have happened if the Fed raised rates?

Michelle

Did anyone else get into GIVN and FLIR yesterday??? they both played nice today...
had to exit JWN today near the close (at least i waited til the end of the day, instead of getting out at the top of the day)
also out of UAUA ($40 was my exit point)what happened to airlines today ??

Michelle,

When the Fed raises rates...the market goes DOWN! So we don't want that, unless you're only playing short.

Tonya,

JP Morgan upgraded six airlines today including UAUA and LCC. Still in LCC for the time being.

yeah!!! rimm blowing it away,,,just hope all those profits are still there in the morning

sue

Raimo,

Hope you had a blast at the game with your son, that's a great thing to be able to do! Thanks for your blogging today! Actually everybody thanks for the blogship today while we all waited together!

Michelle

From what I understand it would have dropped the market alot, everyone was think that the fed was going to hold rates.


LONG MLM,POT,DECK,TNH

SHORT,NYX,WTI,PAY,BZH

Bob: Have fun at the Game. BTW Clemens got crushed yesterday. Good your son wasn't there for that game.

Long: SNHY and DECK (from the sidelines)


Is deck not the best looking one year chart ever.

I took profits on SNHY way back at 40.50 and I thought I was to cool for school then!

I am almost all cash so I am just rooting you all on.

I could use a little help if someone could push PFCB down 3 or 4 ticks in the next 2 trading days. It won't make up its mind.

Maybe tomorrow will be a good day. For one RIMM's earnings, posted just after hours, must have been fantastic; it's up $18-$20!! Anyone holding RIMM?

--Patti

Yes, Patti, I'm holding RIMM!! One contract . . but I hear that now it's about to become three.
:D
Lori

Patti,

I held 1 RIMM Sept call,,,,sure hope those profits are there in the morning,,,,I really so more are in it also,,,I think 1 of the other girls is in it.

sue

Boy, you guys must think I'm an idiot. That was supposed to be sarcasm. Sorry I wasn't too clear.

Michelle

typo,,,,I really hope more are in it

Michelle,,,,i knew you were joking,,,you are definately not an idiot

sue

That's okay, Sue. Some of the trades I've taken lately -- the jury is still out. (laughter.)
That was also a joke earlier when I said, "Can we expect counterFed day tomorrow?"
If this was the rally, maybe the counterFed day will be up 100 points.

Michelle

has anyone done the 4 day live event for active investing? comments on what you think would be appreciated

sue

Michelle
your not an idiot I'm an idiot, I though a question like that was about the only one I am able to answer.

grant;)
