200k shares? That buyer continues with several more of those taking it back to $2.82.

Personally I like having a total 100 calls costing $900 vs 200k shares at almost 1 million per buy into earnings.

Hope they're right on the buying.

So even though small there is still a premium component, even on a stock like CX. The shares would have to move above $5 or the options likely post earning don't move. And if the price is below $4.90 tomorrow after earnings then I would wager the options are at 6x7 cents.

At any rate this is what education is worth. And frankly, if the stock doesn't drop then I then start liking the trade for a bounce above $5 over the next week.

I bought 100 calls

Welcome!

DE closed at days lows. Likely one more day downward at least. That's good news for options opportunity.

Just two calls. Total of $20.00

Big volume on CX at the end.

If any of you have live charts pull up TSLA. This is gonna be fun

Looks like a big sell off at the end of the day. Hoping for a strong start tomorrow.

FB and MSFT are up

TRNX?? I thought you were better then that OA!

Lam Research (NASDAQ:LRCX): Q3 Non-GAAP EPS of $3.70 beats by $0.31; GAAP EPS of $3.47.

Revenue of $2.44B (-3.2% Y/Y) beats by $40M.

Microsoft up 2.5% after hours. 1.14 EPS vs 0.99 est EPS

FB nice beat....Up $9

That will likely give TWTR another push towards all time $45 highs soon

TSLA loss expected to be $3.5B. Crazy enough if its less than that it likely pops and if more that will be it on the Darvis Box major support.

CX $4.85....would be hilarious to get in the money pre-earnings. Would you short half against the calls if it did?

I held my 5/17 twitter calls to avoid the day trade. It's been way down all day. Hope you're right!
*Im still up big on it overall

Hope so.
Bought a 5/10 $40 call on TWTR yesterday

So, earnings are coming in now for today, several companies better than earnings, revenue, but dropping in price after hours?

Sell the news. It's typical AH. If it was a solid beat and good call, it will pick up tomorrow. Lots of stocks have beats priced in right now.

2.38 billion monthly active users on Facebook. That is actually insane to think about.

Damn! I'm going to be the last person on earth with no social media presence (outside of one semi-anonymous fan site which also has an investments board)

I've never been a member of FB and never will.

LRCX up big AH.

XLNX getting killed AH

TSLA afraid to release earnings?

Been wondering why the movement has been sideways, its either gonna go up or down lol

Rev guidance was above consensus, just got ahead of itself.

A $130 Put option would have cost you $1.41 before the close. That option would be worth around $9 currently.

ALWAYS PLACE PROTECTIVE PUTS ON SHARES. ALWAYS!

Stock went up from $90 to over $140 since January. $50/share profit and people won't take $1.41/share for protection. I'll never understand most people.

And since the losses are already in on the initial big drop. You could wait to see that first stable area and trade against your Puts. I do that all the time. In this instance XLNX drops to $123 sideways trend. Buy shares on first volume signal above $124.50 that occurred and now you're at $126.15. Trade that a pure stop loss so your Puts are the regulator tomorrow and there ya go!

I don't own it but thanks for the lesson.
