Bingo!! SLB reached 100.75, my SDBJT options reached $1.05 and sold to the American. Net profit $430.10 for less than 30 minutes of sweating, better than poker. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Short oil at $90

[/ QUOTE ]

You have a market order, or are you giving a tip/suggestion?

[/ QUOTE ]

That will be my position when oil hits $90. I figured everyone has mentioned what they have a purchased so I would say what I plan on purchasing. Not a suggestion or tip.

Update: Well I screwed the pooch on ETFC, took a $1.00 loss per share and exited my position minus <$1007.00> including comissions.

Almost anyone with significant mortgage exposure is likely to take an earnings hit over the next couple months. Even though Etrade bailed out of the mortgage business, this last quarter was from July timeframe. Also, even though a company may have been out of the mortgage business for awhile, if they are holding toxic paper they have not yet written down substantially, it can continue to suck earnings out of the company like a vampire for years to come.

what is your projected price point on Cisco? It seems like it broke out of its 4 month trend. Is this a long term investment or do you see it bounce off $30?

Hurry up and approve my freaking account for option trading already. sheesh

Without any approval people should be able to buy options. Their only downside risk the the amount that they buy. Silly bastard regulators.
