LOL. Im finding out more and more of this hot yoga you speak of.
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/ )

wayneme - in the 2012 contest, only 2 people who were in the top 5 names after the first week finished in the top 10. The other three were all in the bottom half of the group on 12/31.
wings its numbers they make you and break you some people say daytrading ever ever wonder how them kids get rich never hear about the broke ones lol metals or stocks numbers
one more thing if i win or lose as i think i will you should give any thing to the local coin clubs youngest poorest member thanks for doing this contest maybe we'll all learn something
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.

Thanks,
But a little early this month for kudos. I expect my miners to get assaulted through next Wednesday......comes with the sector. 2 guaranteed hit weeks per month.
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)
PS: looking at afterhours trades-- folks in this thing with AAPL at 532.17 might drop a few spots tomorrow
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.
Still have reasonable expectations though that things will work out by year's end.
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*
AAPL Prices Date Close Jan 25, 2013 439.88 Jan 24, 2013 450.50 Jan 23, 2013 514.01 Jan 22, 2013 504.77 Jan 18, 2013 500.00 Jan 17, 2013 502.68 Jan 16, 2013 506.09 Jan 15, 2013 485.92 Jan 14, 2013 501.75 Jan 11, 2013 520.30 Jan 10, 2013 523.51 Jan 9, 2013 517.10 Jan 8, 2013 525.31 Jan 7, 2013 523.90 Jan 4, 2013 527.00 Jan 3, 2013 542.10 Jan 2, 2013 549.03 Dec 31, 2012 532.17
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.
<< <i>Just go with the flow. It's all black boxes and HFT's any ways.
Nice to see Cohodk finally ascend to the top of the chart. >>
and he did it without those overrated metals.

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!
<< <i>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.
<< <i>Nice call, cohodk. You may win this contest the way it looks now.
Added - Wait a minute! Didn't you sell puts? Now, I'm really confused!!!!! >>
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.
My MAUXF closed above $2 for the first time ever today. Keeps hitting one new high after another. I am predicting $3.XX or higher by the end of the year. And that's in addition to the current 10% divy.
OUCH! 14th to 44th in a week. Good thing this is a year long contest lol. For the record, I would've locked in the apx. 9% realized profit before it even got to 9% had this been real $

That's also why I sold about everything on Tuesday, in order to reload again later next week.
Still have reasonable expectations though that things will work out by year's end.
this is counterintuitive to me at first blush, but this is not the first time today I've been confused
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!

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*
