Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[OSUBaneBrowns]

Nike is about the only thing up.

edit: I lied. I meant this morning

I'm going to let things ride for about 6 months and evaluate the portfolio around September or October. I didn't get the UA stock at the end of the day. I wound up getting ETFs stocks with Charles Schwab for small cap domestic and international growth. Diversify the portfolio for the time being.

@Asantehene What was expiry on those SPY puts breh?

Today. Would've flipped 600 into around 2300. Same old story

It says the rumored buyout is between 17 and 18 billion. That puts the final share price between $223 and $236 or so. You might make anywhere from a few hundred bucks to a few thousand. Not sure if that risk is worth it for me. Inevitably share prices always trickle back down after buyout rumors, unless it's 100% solid, offer on table... so you'll either need some courage and patience, or cut out now.

Hopefully the buyout is beyond 18 bill.

@FinesseKing

Needed that courage and patience, breh...



You said you took the mini L and cut out.. the buyout was for $21 billion and up to $254

Lost instead of up $3600

I love British bond insurance. Using words like "nationalisation."

Maybe thats a problem here too.

@Asantehene I honestly dont know, do you guys trade American or European options?

American. Why do you ask?

Just curious. I see you say "expiry" I wasn't sure. And I'm not sure how Canada works.

European options would suck.

For the guys who trade on a regular basis, do you trade within the industries that you have a familiarity with? Or do you just go to morningstar, the street or motley fool and see what stocks they are talking about, do your own research and go from there?

 

[aliG]

I normally trade within the industries I have a strong familiarity in.

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Thats a good question. Actually a lot of my portfolio is pretty widely diversified with index funds. Although the diversification has narrowed as time has moved on and I feel I have a better grip on the markets.
