You can certainly place a buy order at $528 before the market opens... it just won't fill because the stock will open at $580.

I was looking at GOOG trading through out the day today and am really kicking myself in the ASS for not picking up any calls today.

Those $590 calls of which were $.83 today will most likely open up over $12 tomorrow on options expirations day. Those that bought will make bank on them calls tomorrow.

I'm looking at the BIDU calls now. MCP may also do well.

I'm thinking short term for BIDU. $150 July 22 calls seem appealing. My SLV calls are in the money but to break even SLV needs to be $41. I remember you bought apple calls and you thought you'd be at a huge loss, apples $360 now so you should be good. I've been kicking myself over GOOG all night. It's crazy though, $65 increase per share.... And this is the first time I've wondered about buying after hours so I don't know the ins and outs of the after hours trading rules.

Yeah I've been long GOOG for a little while now. I bought when it had a little dip after the last earnings. Even at low $500s I thought it was a good buy considering financials. I didn't expect the news yesterday to be so big though. Pleasant surprise.

BIDU calls should not be too bad. I like OXY for this quarter. They report on or around the 29th of July. I will be buying some OXY calls.

Analysts now forecast GOOG to hit $780, up from $680.

AngelinIsRich08 · 07-15-2011, 12:47 PM

However if a debt ceiling increase isn't made markets will go down 800 points. Safest bets are s

persian54 · 07-15-2011, 01:04 PM

O well I missed out on GOOG :/

Been doing really bad past couple of months
I've been lazy, inattentive, not aggressive...missed out on a lot of sick money makers (NFLX for one)

AngelinIsRich08 · 07-15-2011, 03:52 PM

Made about $200 with goog. Not bad but was scared because there was a point in which i was down $1200. I want SDS and SPXU shares again. I'll have a lot of money back in my account now that my apple and slv calls expired.

stylinexpat · 07-16-2011, 03:58 AM

Silver finished at $39+ today which was nice

stylinexpat · 07-17-2011, 10:16 PM

Just wanted to share this link. I am picking up more calls this week.

AngelinIsRich08 · 07-17-2011, 10:37 PM

Markets in the upcoming weeks will mostly be dominated by the debt ceiling talks. No deal in sight so I won't be going long.

stylinexpat · 07-18-2011, 04:16 AM

OXY calls should pay well because their profits should be quite good this quarter. $115+ by or after earnings is my personal call on this one.
