{quote} well it worked out as orignally planned bit mondays price action did throw me a bit with it finishing stronger. I'm still waiing in GDX to make up its mind, it finished 29.93. I would like it above 30.05 and hold to buy end of week calls, maybe 31 call strike, waiting game at the moment. Expect some kind of bounce then more volatlity. VXX and VIX had good moves
Finally the price for GDX has move and held above 30.05, it finished at 30.30, I held of taking a trade in gdx because the 31 call moved out of the price range i was prepared to pay. I may have missed the boat howeve is GDX opens above the close of today i will probably be temted to takr the 31.50 call closing price of that option was 6c.

If GDX trades under $30 on the open then NO trades for me until next week

Looking at GDX and GLD I would like to say its gonna pop upside ONLY if it can push up above the 50 day m.a.

AAPL looking vunerable to the downside, looking to do a longer verticle put spread on this, need a little time to work through r-r
AAPL DROPPED ANOTHER $11 from yesterday, aapl puts are too expensive to trade one days expiration.

IF the $430 put was around 10c on the open i'd buy tomorrow, we shall see.

AAPL closed at $438 today from yesterdays close of $445

{quote} not trading no financials tomorrow, will wait until NFP is out before any decision is made
I'm with ya on the sidelines bro. Watching Tokyo. Want to see Asian demand for gold. Got my fingers crossed for a blowout (high) NFP number. That'd be the funnest. If not its just gonna be more of the same.

Nikkei down 1% but gold holding steady. When the big NFP number comes in the gold range will be broken and the bond bubble can keep deflating. Out for Thai food. Good luck early risers.

Miss B. when you are in the reply window, look down on the bottom left - there's an attach files function that will let you upload the image file. Sometimes I also have luck just cutting/pasting.

Think i may take NTAP $38 call on the open of the market if NFP comes in flat or better than expected
NTAP option closed for 10c yesterday hope the pre market doesn't move before i can get a chance to buy it. If it does then i'll just leave it.

IF NFP is negative then i won't trade this and just look to the GDX that i've already discussed in another post

NO BLOWOUT, big drop in gold, big swing up in 10yr Tnote yields, watching TLT, might consider the $114.50 w call for a scalp, but not sure...

yep biz as usual

Condors all made it out and the concurrent drop in the vxx added some nice profit to the positions.... the tlt calender took a hit for the same reason but as long as we dont close below 113 on expiration I should net a small profit on the short unit theta decay

NTAP I see has moved past your strike but the options volume looks thin in there...

edit: no, I see you're up well on decent volume

This selling for $0.38, if it was real money I would probably sell here and feel good about a double, but just paper so I will watch....

My Jul $13 IAU straddle is atm again and if gold would break out above $1,420 the straddle would make some money. Tired of looking at it, may just bail on it if gold falls back into its $1,380 - $1,420 range.
lolololol I am stuck in the straddle from hell. Gold did 1,419 - $1,376 in the last 24h. If gold would break below 1,350 or so I would make money. Taking too long....

Nice... A portion of my personal pension fund has been in this trade for over a year now and I am not looking to sell anytime soon. Glad to see Soros is backing my investment.

I have looked at options but I haven't had the time to read up on it. Thanks for the links to some educational stuff... I will certainly explore this area of trading.

well gl, it takes some study but the rewards are great I suspect, still on the steep end of the learning curve myself. Sounds like you got in EWJ at the right time. I bought EWJ Jun 22 $11 calls for $0.23 today, looking for EWJ $11.50 next week.
