I WANT TO EAT BABBY posted:It's only down 1% and it's not uncommon that it declines ahead of earnings. Often picks back up a day or two later. At any rate options premiums were ridiculous so I sold May ICs at the close. Up 7% so far.

pr0k posted:I think I'll hold off until the oil spill news at least slows down. Right now it's still accelerating. RIG is getting butchered over that spill, glad I didn't get in when I was eyeing it a month ago. Though I guess once the extent of the damage/reparations is clear it might be worth jumping in. God knows how long the probe will take though.

Baddog posted:They've already lost way more in market cap than the fine will ever be. I see people throw that around a lot, but if they were hit with a 10bn "fine" (total cost in cleaning/litigation) wouldn't they lose far more than that in market cap?

ayekappy posted:Yeah, I bought some more at .25-.20 to average things out. I still feel kind of dumb about jumping the gun and getting my off-the-top-of-my-head calculations incorrect and buying for as high as .50 this morning, d'oh. Live and learn. I probably should've gotten more than I did, but oh well.

IratelyBlank posted:Also, this may be broker-specific (I am using Options House), but what is "buying power"? As I made my trades today, my buying power has gone down by an amount equal to what my trade is worth and never rebounded back up. To illustrate, I started with $500, it took -$200 (or something) for my first trade and then another $250 for my second trade and now I only have a "buying power" of $50 even though I sold everything I bought today. Do they just hold my funds overnight or something? It takes a while for a trade to settle, think it's trade date +3 days for stocks and +1 day for options/futures.
