BBV come sweat the stock market with me
just set up a small options straddle on etrade. What that means is I need the stock to go either up alot or down alot to make money. If it stays the same I lose. I stacked it so I make a killing if the price rises alot, lose money if it rises a little, and make a small amount if the stock goes down. Here are the payouts.
3 740 4 240 5 -260 5.5 -510 6 -760 6.5 -1010 7 -1260 7.5 -1510 8 -1760 8.5 3240 9 8420 10 18420 Notice max loss is 1760 and max gain is huge (for every dollar the price rises past 10 I make an extra 10k). The options expire on november 17th so the price (currently 5.75) needs to really move tomorrow and on friday. edit: Company is Etrade, symbol ETFC

Re: BBV come sweat the stock market with me
Good luck to you but I think they are going to file for bankruptcy soon. The stock went from 26/share in August to 6/share now. Not to mention a 60% downswing on monday or tuesday.
The graph of their stock in the last couple months would make FGators cry.

Re: BBV come sweat the stock market with me
No but you are hoping it goes up. I dont think it will. I think it will either go down big or they will be able to tread water and stay where they are. I think they will go bankrupt but their stock did rebound a little today. Good luck.
Oh here is a graph since BBV needs one.

Since you're not in the finance forum might want to put up a disclaimer saying you're not recommending people do this themselves, you're not responsible ect.
