I had to sell my latest Apple options a decent sized loss. Still up ~3x over the last 10 weeks but that number used to be 4x.

Back in ATVI.

Can you post examples of your trades? Is it all about getting in early?

I have some screens for various sectors on Fidelity.

One screen is upcoming earnings for every stock within that sector that has experienced growth over a certain %.

I'm in the buy on rumor sell before news plan. If a reputable company has good growth YTD and is heading into earnings within 2 weeks, I'll go out 3-6 months on call options atleast 10% over the current stock price.

Sell the day before earnings if before the bell or possibly the day of if after the bell.

Went 20%, 20% and then 325% in the first 3 trades until the tech sector took a dump.

I am making a play on solar. YGE, not a lot of money but I think they are getting overly sold. CALPERS just recently increased their position.

Will buy both Kroger and Supervalue, hoping they are takeover targets.

If Walmart buys Kroger, they will have about 90% of Mississippi market.

Let's talk about gambling for a minute. If I wanted to buy $8,000 of MMEX when it's down 10% like it does every day before it snaps back up...roughly a million shares...but the daily volume is around 17MM shares traded. Will my order have a lot of trouble filling, or will it fill but take a while?

I'm selling some FB stock (still keeping a good amount).

60% AMZN
20% FDX
20% V

I have no AMZN, and obviously this company has nothing but a clear Interstate to drive on. Time to stop dreaming and wishing, and get on with a decent amount.

FDX...shipping only gonna grow now

V... buy the dip on companies you never have to worry about.

I got into CARA at around 5. Its upto 23 right now. Big jump of 15% today on FDA news. Still some steam left I feel.

I initiated a position on SND today for long term.
