Louetta's Lore

[Louetta]

Don't forget the Pats on Monday night fottball.

I like to follow NYA. The Nasdaq gets too euphoric for me sometimes.

Separately, HSOA came roaring back today but is down 3% after hours. Very irritating.

Maybe you noticed on my thread that I had a bout of Temporary Insanity...LOL and I dt'd HSOA today...made a shade under 2%. Actually, I think HSOA is a pretty good DT stock...But you won't catch me holding it over...Doug

I wouldn't hold it either. But I have those January options and I figure they (the company) either turn out to be on the level where I might get considerable leverage or I lose (all of it). So I'm playing it on a risk/reward basis. If the November report is as good as it must be to keep them on track for their full year guidance I should make out.

Yeah...I wish you luck on those. I don't know if this is feasible but have you considered also playing some puts on it?

Euphoric!!!...That's an interesting way to put it.

But a lot of those NYSE stocks are dogs. Parktwain mentioned something about those stocks and why he doesn't really follow the NYSE Comp...I can't remember what he said but I do remember that it made sense.

Park...Can you help us out here???...thx, Doug(IIC)

How would you do that? Sounds like betting two horses to win in the same race. Don't you know one ticket is a loser?

I was just running my tape of today's CNBC and I see oil was down $2.39. Would have liked to have seenthe broader averages do better in response to that.

In your case since you took the calls at a higher price that may be true...But strangling some options could be profitable here...So you lose 100% on one side and you make 300% on the other side...If I wasn't so sure that HSOA was gonna crumble I might give that a try...I just don't know when it will happen. But come to think of it I am going to check into doing that...thx...Doug

OK, I see it. If you really think its going to collapse the January $2.50 put is bid/asked at .05/.10. By then we should know something.

Hunting's frowned upon by the Winthrops on their own land at any rate. I don't believe deer migrate, though they may vacation down south, I don't know. In any case, there is no overpopulation problem on the Winthrop's land or if there is then those nasty deer must be hiding from me because that is where I go to look for them.

I don't know Lou. The humans from up North say they come down here to vacation and then they wind up staying, don't know why the northern deer would be any different.

Looks like someone gave this thread a low rating. I must disagree with them because I like this thread and enjoy reading it so I'm giving it a five.

Must be a Vikings fan. Pats lead 10-0 early in the 2nd.

Bought my EWA. Just put in an order to short PPH.

Doug,
I can't seem to find next earnings release , but they can't continue manipulating numbers forever.
