    Now I KNOW you guys are jealous of me. It takes TALENT to be down 30% in a week (or 24% in a day!). All it takes is a bad day and ill be back.

    Thanks again for putting this together!

    Stock can be purchased in one of the companies supplying these materials. It['s one of the few times in my life that I wish I had "some" knowledge of stocks, how to buy etc as I would like to buy some stock in this company. ( http://rapid-fire-marketing.com/ )

    Interesting that Wingsrule and myself are using different vehicles to bet on a dramatically higher silver price in 2013. My guess is that we will finish close to each other, either way up or way down.

    Yes, thank you, but as we learned last year, it's best to stay humble when doing well 3 weeks into a 52-week race, as anything can happen (and usually does)

    Yeah. Someone with a long position on AAPL might even jump into first place.

    After the hammering that miners took Wed-Friday, I would expect to make a dramatic fall after this week's posting. As I said on Tuesday, it was way too early for Kudo's.
    That's also why I sold about everything on Tuesday, in order to reload again later next week. image

    Still have reasonable expectations though that things will work out by year's end.

    Could someone explain why being short an out of the money put is profitable when the underlying stock moves strongly down?

    this is counterintuitive to me at first blush, but this is not the first time today I've been confused image

    he has sold, in exchange for the premium he banked, the obligation to buy AAPL at 250 if the stock is put to him between now and January, hasn't he?

    it seems like the value of this option would have gone up, and being short it a negative event.

    thanks for all help!

    On Jan 15th, AAPL closed below $500 for the first time in months, and cohodk plummeted in the standings.
    He recovered significantly on the Jan 19th post (With a higher Jan 18 close for AAPL)
    And now with AAPL WAY down, he's up this time? *craving enlightenment*

    His entry point (midpoint between bid/ask) was $3.06 per share or $306 per contract. Those options are now trading at $1.50/$2.20, or a midpoint of $1.85 each.

    thanks for your responses. for now, I'm going to assume that it is the increased volatility of the underlying security that causes the options pricing models to value them higher. All of the "in the money" options seem to have moved in the expected direction. Very very interesting!

    Yes Baley. I chose AAPL because it has been extremely volatile which created very high premiums in the options. There are many factors that make up premium, namely time and expectations. A month has gone by which reduced some of the premium, but most importantly expectations HAVE been met. The chart of AAPL was a disaster which meant market participants EXPECTED AAPL to go lower, so once it did, the premium came out of the options. The options were inflated because of the perceived risk of AAPLs upcoming earnings. Once those earnings were out and no longer an (un)expected event, there was no longer the need for increased premium.

    When expectations have been met, what else is there to be concerned, worried, excited about? PMs rallied in 2011 because everyone knew there would be continued QE. And they were right, but since this was an expected event, prices have not gone higher. And unless there is a major unexpected event in the near term, PMs prices will continue to stagnate, if not drop due to the illusion of false promise.

    This is an EXCELLENT case study for those interested in this.

    Yes, I sold puts. Someone PAID me for the right to sell their stock to me at $250. Or more than 50% below the Dec 31 price, or for about 2 1/2x their cash balance. I wont lose money unless AAPL drops ANOTHER 44% from this level.

    Baley, the option is so far out of the money and at such an extreme valuation that it has very little chance of being exercised. Premium will continue to erode unless AAPL drops dramatically in the near future.

    For whatever it's worth, NONE of the products that they produce did anything for me. But bear in mind that my chronic pain is so bad ( 3 1/2 years of waking up with minimum level 4-8 pain , every day, 24 x 7 . It never goes away ) that Vicodin doesn't do anything either. More like a peppermint than anything else. However if you do your research you will find plenty of people with milder pain than I, swear by the dixie drops .

    Now if Tetra Labs ever goes public I'll invest significant $$'s.

    The people in California deserve a standing ovation for what they've been able to do.

    Oh well, 38% in 30 days is is a decent run for short money. They say nobody ever went broke taking a profit! image
