BayPig, Puts, and the Never Ending Story...

BayPig,

Long-time, no-see, eh? ;)

So here we go into yet another options expiration and I again find that I am holding on to a large number of largely worthless puts! I thought that passing on June and buy July options expiration would be safer, but what happens? The stock triples!

But I hear that the "trend-is-our-friend", so maybe things are looking up? (though I guess I there's not much hope for those 37 1/2s, eh?)

Did you see the posts on the yahoo board reporting that AMZN was trading down around $95 afterhours? Too good to be true as far as I'm concerned. Tomorrow should be very interesting.

I too would like to say hello to other regulars on this board - I keep thinking I should have been saving copies of some of the message exchanges that have taken place these last four months - this stuff would probably make for a pretty good novel...

Glenn, do you feel like playing the protagonist?

I've been reading this board for months now and finally decided to do the trial
membership.


BayPig,

Welcome to SI. It is nice to have another bear around and another opinion.

Just wanted to say I enjoy your posts and admire your tenacity with this beast. I hope
both of us will be making some of our money back over the next few days, weeks, and
months! It's only fair, isn't it?


I could not agree more with the above statement<G>

Glenn
