DECK the CALLS! ~ Apple Inc. (Public, NASDAQ:AAPL)

 ... with the DEC 100s! 

BOTD loves expiration week. Check out how closely the option contracts will trade with the common stock.   AAPL options have tons of volume and open interest.  Watch/Trade/Buy (QAALT).


Hey, this chart looks just like the one above!  

$108 by X-MAS ??!!?

RETAIL + SANTA + TECH = APPLE 

... ho, ho, ho! 


 The POWER of LEVERAGE = MO' MONEY! 

 Apple (AAPL) goes from $100 to $108, hmmm, that's 8% profit.  
    (QAALT) goes from $3 to $6+ ... that's 100%+ profit!  

 30 shares of AAPL @ $100 = $3000   (8% profit = $240)
   or   10 contract @ $3.00  = $3000    (100% profit = $3000)

OPTIONS = RISK = COAL for Christmas! 
...  if AAPL goes down, flat, or closes under $103 by Friday.  bye, bye $3000!!!  

p.s.  yes, our math is terrible.   

         The Sun?  ... it's coming back around again

The AAPL idea is something I was sneaking up on this EXP week... But Goldman cut AAPL to neutral overnight... still think it will bounce back anyways... but I might buy 95's.... even Mittal (MT) calls for the car industry steel play... Great blog...

Does anyone know of a good free site to plot options prices? I have an Ameritrade account but it seems to only plot stock price, not options prices.

Thanks!

Whats the deal with FAZ hittin $55? Is that you sell price? Are you gonna switch to FAS? I myself was waiting for FAS to hit $20 or lower.
