Most options, even in the money, won't be exercised until expiration (pending things like earnings or dividends playing a role), right? I may be misunderstanding you though.

A little more on AVEO for those interested.

It lost a partnership with Novartis, but it was actually a good thing.

Irish & OA1,

What is your strategy on AVEO? We are on the brink of that $2.50 mark. There is alot of volume today. Is now the time to hold and wait for more news or sell and hope for another purchasing opportunity? TIA

I've been working it to a net free which is now completed, so I'm off of looking at short term moves. But based on the pure volume signals AVEO looks to be a stock with a firm bottom looking to reverse trend and head back upward. You had a gap created by the opening but that gap filled exactly at $2.43. That tells me big money is wanting to squeeze shorts.

FYI - Taking a bunch of big premium payout options off the table. This is the luxury of catching the wave BEFORE the wave is pushing the surfer. This doesn't mean the wave is over and shorts are clearly getting the squeeze today. Once that action subsides we could have a pullback (not reversal) day or two before any continuation.

I don't care one way or the other right now because nearly every strategy paid off.

Anyone interested in education on credit spreads these guys do a decent job explaining the approach. Good steady stream opportunity. Free seminar.

Major buy volume coming in on TWTR?

Basic credit spread, sell a put and sell a call at the same strike collecting two premiums and expanding your break even range.

You can also buy way out puts and calls to cover and limit your risk.

Selling a put and a call requires twice the buying power and your broker has to approve you for the infinite risk on the call sale but it is probably the best option strategy out there.

I've always seen credit spreads explained as simply buying 2 different types of the same option with the short one being the nearer to ITM, so you cap your risk with the long option and make your premium from the short option.

I've always heard straddles explained as same strike with a Put/Call.

Is that wrong?

I enjoy reading all the strategies on this board - you guys do a good job.

Exactly. So if any of you are continuing to pursue education then this strategy is a great low risk one to add into your arsenal. I don't even speak much to all of the other investments and strategies on this forum. We have enough going on . Ha

So you're saying the right decision was not to sell it?

You are right. Tasty trade calls them "vertical" instead of spread.

In the "can't getbin them all" category I give you TER. I was so close to accumulating shares under $20 a while back.

With that move options still likely a decent opportunity.
Closed out TER options as it approached filling the gap all the way back to April

AVEO up 17% today
IrishTxAggie
How long do you want to ignore this user?

AVEO closed at $2.83. I'll take a 17.5% day anytime.

I'd personally expect a retrace down to the high 2.60s tomorrow barring any major news (buyout, partnership, P3 readout, etc.). AVEO will eventually need more cash, so keep that in mind if you decide to take a position. Again, this isn't a stock I'm playing with anymore. It is a long hold for me.

I've held a position in AVEO for well over a year now and have no intentions of selling any in the near future.
