I would probably pay more attention to your post if you realized that there's no such thing as "patronize money back." It's called repatriation of profits. A tax holiday for corporations will never fly because the public will never agree to it. And as we all know the politicians won't advocate it because they want to be re-elected.

Capone was thrown in jail for breaking the tax laws.

There's a difference between paying less in taxes and violating IRS regs. Let me put it this way, if AAPL didn't take advantage of the tax loopholes, David Einhorn would be b.........g and moaning. Even the recent sale of bonds and repurchase of shares in a way takes advantage of a tax loophole. By doing it this way instead of paying the repatriation taxes, AAPL saves billions.

We'll probably continue with the uptrend. This is getting booooooring.

I don't know about you but I'm pretty amazed with breaking a $100....wowwwwwww.

It's looking very good...volume is excellent. We'll be green before lunch.

I was pretty accurate yesterday. Today, we're just getting started, the pullback was a blessing.

We'll finish green today.

A good idea. GOOG calls have a hefty premium that is as good as cash. We're on an upward trend so you should be raking it in.

Good time to short...you can always cover later at a higher price....lol.

Is that the law that says as GOOG goes up it goes up faster and higher?

Probably the same people that bought since the beginning of the year...the fools...yeah right, I'm buying more before the end of the week.

Good idea...you can always cover at a higher price...lol.

How did you calculate 90%, I doubt this very much. Always look at what the "Big Boys" do. Institutions, mutual funds, and insurance funds buy stock not options. It's absolutely true that the stock moves the options.

BBRY is a very volatile stock. If you are a beginner with calls, start with a less volatile stock. Also, a good idea is to start with a covered call strategy. Google "covered calls" and you will get useful information on how to implement the strategy. Basically, in a covered call strategy the calls you write will act like insurance premiums in the event BBRY drops in price. You can also buy puts as insurance.

You're taking too much of a risk...with that kind of investment, weekly calls at $15 or $15.50 make more sense. The gamma and delta are more favorable.

It would be the first cyber-space #$%$...another first for the Yahoo AAPL MB...lol.

Agreed. The MMs decide whether AAPL gaps up or down at the open on every day of the trading years.

There is no exception for when there's a cash dividend involved.

Agreed. MMs might try some games during pre-market, but I expect only a small gap down, maybe .80 or so. Shorts also, might try some games during the first 2 hours of trading. But who knows, we could close green tomorrow.
