Picking up 690/715 Apr 13 Bull Call Spreads for $8.9. Should be good for a 200% gain by Apr.

No moves. Holding everything. What's your earliest expiration Roni? And what's your "usual" cut your loss percentage if you don't mind me asking.

Yep, and Marketwatch willingly plays the stooge for such bottom of the barrel self-serving ethics. There otta be a law. Oh, wait there is. Pity it is never used against parasites like these guys.

Picking up 690/715 Apr 13 Bull Call Spreads for $8.9. Should be good for a 200% gain by Apr. I'm in the same. But I got in at $10.20

The good news is that we are getting the worst of it in the first hour.
I think we will recover most of our losses by end of the day.

The good news is that we are getting the worst of it in the first hour. I think we will recover most of our losses by end of the day. Agreed. I think the end is near with an RSI (14) of 37 MACD very low, basically most indicators below the average. Greatest risk I see is actually a drop in the indexes because of Macro factors and we follow suite but given the above indicators we probably won't drop too much more.

I hate it when they are sneaky like this. The gap is at 636.76 and they take it down to 637.55 and leave it unfilled knowing they are just reloading for the next leg. These dramatic moves do not allow people to reposition, (wish I could ). We are at levels on the daily that I can't believe we are at considering earnings are so close. Best of luck to us all

I think back to the "set-up" the Friday before our drop. At the last minute these analyst come out with 8-10 mil for the opening weekend. Apple had an allotment for the first day then there were technically no sales for a week and a half. The weekend comes and Apple sells an amount that is made to order for WS. My conspiracy mind starts to wander. I have been duped again.

Found this article and did not like what I read. It says 91 out of the S&P 500 have issued pre-earnings warnings as of Friday. WTF, how is the market even close to these levels if this is true?

Just my 2 cents as an ole fashioned common stock investor - Feels just like cy q1 days before the earnings - question is whether or not they will have another blowout earnings and be up $50+ vs missing huge analyst expectations due to a "slow" start to iPhone 5 and continue the downtrend/stagnancy for some time until there's light at the end of the tunnel that cy q4 will be ridiculous... Lol hopefully it's a quick shot up but these quirky price movements never fails - don't even have to be a rocket scientist now to see it coming (sometimes)! Good news is it'll recover. Just gotta be patient. I'm all in by end of day. Gotta see where this afternoon takes us. Still a bit weary given no immediate relief at these levels ...

Well, we're pretty close to the lower Bollinger Band on the daily chart, and at least RSI supports a relief rally.
