“Actions” on the Member Board, 12/20/07

The market “woke up” today, especially the techs. We have positioned ourselves well since earlier this week, and, were able to profit from the jump today! Our “happy members” shorted LDK and MBI; went long on GOOG, BIDU, AAPL, RIMM, POT, MOS, AGU, LEAP, among many other plays! Congrats, everyone!

Here are some of the actions on the member board today:

LDK feels like it is going to try to touch $50 or low 50’s this morning after the open. Cost avg out in thirds or quarters at a time, but lock those profits up!

GOOG
I think we can see $690 soon; breaking $690, it can go test $720

Do you think BIDU is getting ready to set up for an early afternoon jump?

BIDU/Market
possibly; I think the whole market is just waiting to make the turn. Let’s see if it can push through.

Everything just woke up. GS/XLF are pushing up. I knew I should have picked up more GS 210s when it was down at 201 and 6.20. Oh well.

i would consider one of the two plays if you are bullish on RIMM (one is complex, but bare with me)
simpler play
1×3×2 skp strike butterfly +1 Dec 105/ -3 Dec 115c/ +2 Dec 120
prices are all over, so too difficult to post but probable cost around 2.25 to 2.35

my favorite (which could be done for breakeven when I analyzed – you may be able to get a credit)
+1 Dec 100c
-3 Dec 105c
+2 Dec 110c
+1 Dec 115c

there is some risk in the 109 to 114 range, but you get a free look above that and have downside protection if you get a credit

Happy Day! Even I made a profit today. Thank you, Happy, for POT and CMI, as well as the inspiration to take some profits on my GOOG Jan 720’s. I must say, no matter how little, taking a profit sure feels good.
