Goog

[DSteckler]

<< How do you feel as to which way it could trend? >>

A lot depends on the volume on the way back up. If GOOG just drifts higher, the volitility will get sucked out of the calls and they could go down in value even as the stock goes up. Or GOOG could rise a few more points and then retest the lows, which would also drain the value of the calls.

Getting pummeled pre-market, down almost 15. Next stop the 200DMA?

Ski, hope you didn't buy those calls!

I wonder if all those dudes who write for Barron's have covered their Google shorts yet. ..... Lawd! As of this post, down 5% on 10.8 million volume. Last price 344.51

Forget covered calls: puts! If they had $400 puts that they bought the first time GooG stumbled...they'd be fat cats indeed!

I'm soooo tempted to pick up some shares right here. I know I'll get hosed if I do....

[DSteckler]

I dood it.

[DSteckler]

I undood it this morning for a 50 cent loss. Grrr...........

Buy GOOG, sell Feb covered calls

Im just curious if you ever do this .... ie buy goog at $347 and sell Feb $350 for $6.30 which expire in 3 days . I havent done this but idea always intrigues me.

[DSteckler]

Puts or calls?

[grebnet]

Calls

Stock may get taken but doing it for guarantee income....unless GOOG tanks more

[DSteckler]

Calls. You will be assigned the call, assuming GOOG closes above 350. Assume it closes at 350. Your "cost" is 340.70. You hope it gets called away because that gives you a 2.7% profit in 3 days! If it closes below 350 you keep the cash.

[grebnet]

That is why Im intrigued...

I figure a $1000 here a $1000 there wouldnt hurt
