Fail.

Irony is an implied discrepancy between what is said and what is meant.

also what happened to etrade? i'm not following any stocks

[ahnuld]

well no, not fully. The gist of it is I make money if the stock moves heavily in either direction. But ill et a little something back no matter what because one of the options will finish ITM while the other will finish OOTM

options trade in contracts. Each contract is the right to buy/sell 100 shares. I bought 5 put contracts and 100 call contracts.

[dchz]

strike price on those contracts how much was each contract?

[ahnuld]

$8 strike, puts were 2.25 and calls were .05
