How much appreciation/depreciation (percentage-wise) can we expect? Is it worth trading? I’ve got a couple APR 420’s I’m considering…..
Quoting from aapltrader:
http://aapltrader99.home.comcast.net/~aapltrader99/Apple_Trading/April_Option_Play.html
“Look at the below info on how Apple and a near the money Call and near the money Put traded this past Jan 3rd and 4th.Date Apple Apple Jan 21 410 Call Apple Jan 21 410 Put
Jan 3, 2012 $411.23 $10.80 $9.70
Jan 4, 2012 $413.44 $9.90 $6.38I pasted the option chains for Jan and Feb monthly options below for Jan 3rd and and Jan 4th.
As you can see, Apple moved up $2.21 but the Jan 410 call dropped by 8.33% and the 410 Put dropped by 34% in 1 day. The implied volatility for the Apple 410 calls was 28.17% on Jan 3rd and dropped to 22.68% on Jan 4th. “
Does this impact spreads? -
Maybe it’s me—but I just don’t see it. Looks like Ashton Kutcher is playing Steve Jobs in an indie film titled “Jobs”—weird.

I thought this was an April fool’s joke…?

Does this impact spreads?From the referenced page above: “This does not impact any typical spreads (bull put / bull call) with the same expiration date as both legs drop in value. However, be careful if you are legging in / out of spreads around these days. “

It’s not always obvious on the announcement. But I agree with another—your deep ITM calls won’t see much impact, if any.

I posted some info on how the actual math works on Vega & volatility changes in the option thread. It is here. Hope it helps.

I’m confused by this exchange.
Just me, but I wouldn’t use deep ITM close-to-expiry calls to play earnings. The time premium to go farther out isn’t that big a deal IMHO.

The Summer of AAPL is here. Enjoy it (responsibly) while it lasts.

Thanks, Steve. -
The pieces are starting to fall into place. Seems the markets wanna rally!
I wouldn’t mind a dip to buy some options or BCSes but I’m fine whichever way AAPL goes other than down like a rock. Which I really doubt. The earnings tractor beam is getting ready to fire…

Exasperated, roni
Futures still looking solid. AAPL goes up, it gets a little oversold, either works for me.
Might actually try a Buy the Dip order for April calls or BCSes before market open. Of course, if the trade goes wrong, I completely blame Rudyo

What are you exasperated about.
I sometimes do not have a clue what you are talking about.

You made a little joke about a market rally because I didn’t say something more like “looks like an up day tomorrow” and left open for interpretation that I’ve been hiding under a rock and haven’t noticed a pretty epic world market rally the past quarter (and I was a little imprecise I guess, since US indices were doing fine, it’s just the Asian/Euro markets that cooled off recently…or something, it’s mostly AAPL I follow anyway)
I made a little joke with the upside head slap and the “Intraday is silent” note via “Context, roni”
You replied with two words, a comma and no punctuation
So did I, and no I ain’t all that exasperated because I wouldn’t have pivoted so quickly
I lack communication skills
And there we are.
