In the following right at the close: AAPL Jun5 11 PUT @ $0.49 Should be good for a little money while I wait.....
Busy morning today. Out of the following:

AAL Jun5 11 PUT @ $1.02 up from $0.49

AAL Jun5 12 PUT @ $1. 71 up from $0.98

Earlier posts were incorrect in that it was AAL PUTS, not AAPL PUTS I got into....was pushing hard for Apple on both days, but never got in. I guess subconsciously I was wishing....

Anyway, good money on both of these!!

But here is something interesting: I got out of the AAL 12 PUT at $1.71 and the spread was about $0.10 to $0.13 the first half hour or so of trading .....about 30 minutes later, the bid dropped to $0.30 and the Ask jumped to $2.85...….the spread very slowly started coming together, and just in the last 5 minutes tightened up to normal of about $0.11 with the Bid of $1.62 and the Ask of $1.73.

Note: I just checked it again and it is widening back to Bid of $1.57 and Ask of $1.86. And it's doing all this with the stock price only fluctuating less than a nickel!!

Things that make you go "Huh?!?"....

Out of the following:

SPY Jun8 310 PUT @ $2.75 up from $1.36

Probably has some more room to go down, but too close to expiration to hold very long. Good money, though....

What about FX Options? I know vols are low, but this would interest me more than equities. Also more relevant, given the nature of the forum.

I know very little about FX options, but I DO know that you can make more money with stock and index options, so I never bothered to waste time with the FX options. As far as your interest and being relevant to the forum, just start an FX options thread and you would probably get some others interested in that and kill two birds with one stone....

Good advice. I searched for an FX Options thread and was quite surprised there was nothing here.
