I also took the $11 EWJ w call at $0.03 - just for Scooby snacks tho $0.15 off the strike I may be too late tho we'll see
EWJ is pinning on $11.00, with a hot market finish maybe it would get above the strike but looks like these will be worthless

{quote} 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
hey T.F. i took the trade at 5c but hung on thinking it was going to be 10-15x but in the end closed for 14c , nothing to shout about, lack of volume in NTAP makes me suspicious

{quote} hey CG, did you get in GDX puts?
NO, gold had moved before the market opened and by the time we opened GDX was at $29.53 that was 77c from the close of yesterday so it was going to be tough to get a substantial move past $29 as the daily range would be 100%+

But next week Shorting GLDand GDX is the play like I said in my GDX post

yup i was late to the party on the weekly but the real money Jun 22 $11.00 calls are up 10% on the first day. Hoping Soros can help a brother out and get me to $11.50 at least next week.

I sold the call leg near be today, if IAU would go to $13.20 or so I would make money on the puts.

A little bit of fun here, GS (golman sachs) this stock you can make a good living just trading options on this.

It takes patience and dicipline something i'm still trying to master. GS has some really good movement not every week but at leat a couple of times a month.

look at the high lighted areas, $3 became $70 per contract today and now trading at $55 per contract

VXX dumping into the close... I expect more downside as we dont have any major catalyst for quite some time unless we get a bomb out of Japan or Europe

UJ has established the range the BOJ claimed it wanted back when it began this insanity( 95-105) so although it will remain volatile I expect the range will hold... although "Aso is watching FX rates very carefully(New Noda?)"

Next week is pretty dead, german court ruling on the constitutionality of the OMT policy( which will most likely be a non-event) and some US data later in the week

good overall week in the options trades.... stunk it up on my spot FX trading once again.... Oh well, ill live to fight another day

have a great weekend everyone
