Good Morning
I am now the proud owner of a few LEAP contracts. 800 Jan14.They are red for the moment, but in 10 months they will give me 700% returns. :-D
Our stock is stuck under 620. Let’s see what happens next week following the dividend. -

You sound so certain and precise about that! Last time I bought far-out far-OTM leaps I expected 500% and got 850%.
Just sayin’, don’t be too sure about that number
(Of course, thanks to stupid restrictions on accounts at brokers that I have since dumped, I was only able to invest a tiny tiny portion of what I wanted to. 9.5x almost nothing is still not all that much. Sigh.) -
Here comes the first push toward 620….. Grunt!

I’m not a big TA guy at all, but it sure seems to me like there’s a lot of “built-up tension” around this point—and that it will either go through and spike up dramatically, or bounce off 620 hard into a fast pullback.

For now I’m playing it conservative.
Rolled down short calls on Sep 12, put on a mild hedge on my Apr 13s.
The market itself is OK, but some of tech and AAPL seem a little lethargic. Betting on AAPL not going up 25 in a single day if 620 is crossed. I could be wrong, of course.

Do the 2015s come out in a month? I’d wait. Seems to be a bit early for them though. More than 2 years.

Both:)
I was projecting 1700% on a very OTM leap. Mercel talked me out of it. If we hit that target, I will send him a bill for $180K for lost profits.

Sigh…
I’m indecisive.
As an “upside hedge” I bought some Aug 12 615/635s. High 618+ seems to be holding and the chart is looking better now.

That’s a very good question. Ask me again in January and I’ll tell you what you should have done

Nice to see you again, 620. Can it hold?
AAPL regained mkt leadership. Outperforming the indices as of a minute ago.

Are momentum players going to pile up now? I think we have 2 more days of solid up before we cool down and revisit 620.Don’t take my word as advice though.

It is the former…..so far!
