shoreco - Re: EBAY, the big open interests in July are in the 65 and 60 calls, but the positions aren't that big. Interesting that the biggest OI is the July 40 puts, which the wise guys sold when the stock was down and never needed to cover. cboe.com It really hasn't moved since the original pop - I have a feeling they will sell you all the stock you want at these prices if you catch my drift.

shoreco, for me today is "exasperations" I'm mostly on the fence right now (too busy to trade) but this constant whipsawing has got to be taking a toll on many traders. But last weekend I had a strong feeling that this week would be like this, as there were soooo many companies reporting this week. I knew that we'd have some upside surprises, and probably more downside surprises. And I felt this factor coupled with options expirations was bound to make this week a very difficult one to play. So I have been mostly following the advice of the old market sage LVL, who once said "when it doubt, stay out."
