Condolence to them

Planning to bet on AAPL's earning. Long PUT, willing to lose all premium (1/4 profit from recent gain of AAPL's and GLD's tank) should it goes otherwise in exchange of unlimited profit .

Dear guys n gals, need your help on confirmation. Trading in and out frequently, the profit gained is considered as Capital Gain right? So need not to pay any tax and need not to file any tax right? or it's taxable based on tier basis?

Dividend which is an Income Gain is taxable? Thank you

korean drama also not bad

how does the forecast of earnings work?

Let say initially it was projected to have $1 gain per share but upon reaching the earnings announcement like 1 more month, the outlook wasn't look good and revised down to $0.70.

During announcement, the earnings was $0.85. The stock normally rally? though it's higher than newest projection but lower than previous? Both projections are with forward looking.

Irony? the stock rally if the latter is true, I can just purposefully revised downwards so that it can hit the target easily?

gold drops little only versus silver...

As for aapl, it formed a rising wedge in a down trend, downtrend perhaps will continue.

aapl bought put @ 397.53, out @ 395.11
