[bankedout]

Nice win realdeal, and welcome back!

I'll try ASPS short for next week.

[sd]

Good Win RD!
I can't imagine how a fuel pellet and timber, nat gas company could possibly outperform the one company that is about to single handedly transform the universe- ahem, internet........into moving at light speed!!! How could my horse pick's talents be so understated and misunderstood?
WELLLLLL.... I'll likely go short next week, just haven't figured out
which horse- SD

[blygh]

Nice pick real deal - I have bought and sold PCL a half dozen times in the last few years so I keep an eye on it - I can't figure a reason for the recent pop though. Well let's see - last week was options expiration so it is no surprize that shares were dumbed to prevent calls from finishing in the money (my working hypothesis) . I will test this hypothesis and go long JRCC (which dropped this weak substantially and cut the value of the March 15 call which had a lot of contracts out

[realdeal]

thanks bankedout

[realdeal]

Well… SD good buddy, its CSCO we are talking about here. It’s a juiceless stock. Yup I heard about the big news. You may have found your short play for next week .

[realdeal]
