RIMM ==> The USVI Winner!

[New-born baby]

I just wish that NB would have mentioned all his trading with the puts and calls on RIMM as he was doing it or that day instead of this much afterward. I would have liked to have heard his strategies and the logic behind them as the trades were made, and also that he was doing it. we've been talking about the stock and which direction it was going to go in and he never mentioned any of this beforehand or while he was doing it or contemplating doing it.

Ski, I am a man on the run, and have been since February. Yesterday I spent all day trying to clean off my desk, (filing, filing and more filing!) and I didn't get it completely done. Translation: no time for a thorough job of posting. But I'll try to do a little better, but I am very pressed for time. That's why I gave up my threads. But I really do enjoy your imputs, Ski, because I respect your trading skills, just like I respect Spike. Your comments are most welcome!

Now where is RIMM headed next?

i like the market to the upside but this morning lehman downgraded a number of financial stocks, Goldman Sachs in particular, and several others and that will have some kind of effect on the open and the next couple of hours. whether it rules the whole day is strictly conjecture. i believe RIMM follows whatever the market does today. if the market goes down from yesterdays close then i wouldn't expect RIMM to go up. but I wouldn't be trading to much other than a day trade, either long or short, in this market right now. good luck with that trade and the options. to much in that whole position for me to think about and keep on top of with all the calls and puts and managing them to keep them above water but it does look like the long side could be a winner. i think breakeven from here is going to be the outcome at best.

RIMM taking it in stride

Although it took a $2 hit at the open, with the dow down about 100, it's managed to recover the loss, and is even up a buck, while the market's only recovered about halfway. I say RIMM hits 86 by next week, whether the market goes up or down a percent or two. Might even happen tomorrow, if the market cooperates. Anyway, I've got my limit order in for 85.9.

I hope it hits your target Jiesen.

Sold RIMM for 85.7

Nearly hit my target just now, but it was darn close, so I lowered it to 85.7 and it hit that. I'm out with my 15%!

Thanks, $$MM, you are HUGE!

ya gotta take it when you got it in your hand. good show Jiesen.

Thanks, Ski!

Yep, I agree. A bird in the hand is always better than one in the bush. I'm especially glad to have caught this one early this morning (early birds and worms, right?) since 85.9 was barely missed today, and I could have ended up holding over a long weekend, when anything could happen!

No, I'm much happier sitting on my cash profit, ready for the next pick- or for RIMM to come back down to the 60's for another ride up.
