I am a huge fan of FMD long-term (and possibly short-term as well).

Strike price?

Hope you held off on that CX trade, I see it is down nearly a dollar from where we discussed it.

Sorry for the delay ahnuld, I get ocassionally pretty busy the last hour of trading setting up my overnight positions and the last 30 minutes showed me some real bargains (Hope they were bargains).

Anyway I like your purchase, it has a lot of upside potential and should show itself long before jAN 18 08. Great thing about options is that you always know your max loss.

Very nice position on CX there, I like the way you setup your trade with protection.

Good luck with them both,

Jimbo

adding more RGLD (royal gold). great stock for those seeking exposure to gold. they are a royalty company that makes their money off the gross production and not the net and are therefore immune to rising costs that many miners are facing today. they do not have any hedging or derivative exposure. high margins,low overhead,1 billion market cap and only 17 employees. wall street doesn't understand mining, nor do they like it...but this business model is easy to comprehend and i believe is going to be a huge winner before this gold run is over. i have the jan 2010 30,35, & 40 call options which i bought when the stock was at 22/share. adding stock today.

got some american express 52.50 puts that expire at next weeks end. Lets see how low some panic selling can drive it.

Looking to buy some American rail industries. They make boxcars for trains. Carl Icahn owns about 30% of the company and they got slammed last night for lower demand for one of their products off from 21 to 14.70 on the week.

Ha, YHOO and CSCO tanked, as did GS during the day but at least it came back around 2:30 PM. Averaged down my GS 120 calls to 3.85 so am in good enough shape there to cover any losses on CSCO. Crazy day today.

Bought some GOOG NOV 720 calls and RIMM NOV 120 calls (as well as RIMM 110 NOV puts in equal number to my calls), hoping for an up morning for both of these.
