I started to buy yesterday but I try to buy on strength and
this morning looks pretty strong for the nuts.
I "hope" that people are bargain hunting.
Only time will tell if I am right or not:-)

Good luck to all... I'm going fishing...

Yesterday AM I bought EBAY calls at 6 3/4 and immediately placed a limit sell at 10, the previous high for the day. All day I watched EBAY slide... and slide... and slide lower this morning. A little while ago I tried to sell at 3 1/4 and Schwab wouldn't let me - no positions to close.

Dang!! The calls hit 10 and were sold 7 minutes after I bought and placed the sell order yesterday! I went to yesterday's time and sales to confirm. Never looked. Never noticed. Talk about volatility!

That was too close for comfort. I'm not going to push my luck - or risk upsetting anyone with a post today. :)

Good luck to all today.
