Sold my GYPWA (GS $250Puts) at $13.30 so no I did not double my money but it was close enough for me. Total profit after comissions of $1602 in less than one trading day.

Hope my earlier explanation was sufficient CrushinFelt

Nice play, I was looking at picking it up on a major dropoff myself. If I were you I'd take some instant profit if it hits 56 tody.

I still don't know if I'd buy it today - I don't like to hold a company whose product is judged as ugly by most people I know, especially those with good taste. Fad is written all over it.

But maybe I'm all wrong... I'd like to hear why you entered the position and your long term strategy.

Am entering SIRI at $3.53 and XMSR at $14.70.

Tripled my position in XMSR so am averaged down to $13.70 per share. Doubled my position in SIRI and am averaged down to $3.39 per share.

Sold my UAWL puts for $2.50 each, total profit on this trade of +$282.00 Doesn't quite makeup for me exiting UA to early yeaterday when I was long but it gets back some of that mistake of having an itchy trigger finger. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Ever feel like you are chasing a snowball downhill on a sunny day? Well I doubled my current position in XMSR so now I own 1200 shares and am averaged down to $13.25 per share and am done with buying it. C'mon FCC, Congress and whoever else it takes to make this merger happen, let's go!!

hes not looking for a long term start. (I hope) but a short term bounce. I think the stock will be at 20 by the end of next year

Why do you think this? I know Britain is operating pretty close to capacity at the moment but if I'm not mistaken, inflationary pressures there are still fairly low. What do you think is going to cause this decline?

Since I am on an options roll I just bought 10 contracts, Microsoft $37.50 puts at $.93 each for a total round trip cost of $1000 even (well OK actually $999.90). I have a sell order in for these at $1.60 and hope to see that happen within a day or two, perhaps today but I have two weeks to work with anyway.
