Heh, funny that BAC puts are mentioned as an example. And, yes, following tips any where on the intarwebs is really, really dumb. Do your OWN research, and don't play with money you are not afraid to LOSE all of.
That said, bought the BAC NOV $20 puts for $0.99, and as of the close it is up 15%. I think BV is right, the GDP numbers will disappoint. Either way, it should be a volatile day tomorrow, and a lot of fun for those that play.
I'm glad you guys started this thread, and I didn't think the convo in the other thread was something that needed to be taken private. As long as you all are comfy with telling people what you are doing, then it is cool. I just hope no one gets too excited and makes a big bet on the one that goes really bad. But again, if you follow the nutters here, then you have to just as nutty, and know that we have all taken losses as well as our gains. Most of us have been fortunate to have better gains than our losses.
