QUOTE(danmooncake @ Feb 4 2012, 02:39 AM) Yes... bears aren't here yet.. the UE numbers are darn good tonight. Bulls are still in control. Europe issues are taking back seat. $SPX going to 1350 and higher.. Market in a slow cooker ... not ready to serve bears yet. No position in LVS, but still playing FCX. FCX --- hmm. Will look into it. Thanks.

A bit of profit taking here using Greece as excuse again. But, I think this slow melt up continues.. Watching FCX, and LVS (  ...) and also $SPX (1325-1330 support or buy point). FCX = plot using the 60m chart, Flag formation but watch that 50 ema line (stop loss=45). This post has been edited by danmooncake: Feb 6 2012, 11:23 PM

LVS sold at low point  TS HIT the brake... duh! Now ZERO position with cash. Looking forward with FCX and MGM..

No one buying apple? It just started selling "officially" in China last month. Isn't that a huge upside potential? Or you think it's not gonna be that fast?

Nah, I skipped Apple for almost 1 year now. better options out there. You can even look at NOKIA (NOK) or RIMM (Still a fund manager favorite) http://www.cnanalyst.com/2012/02/top-10-mo...eb-05-2012.html3.73 +0.74 (24.65% 2nd straight day rising.. DUH, why I forgot this one.

DUH, why I forgot this one. NOKIA?! I thought it's a dead horse already? Cannot see any business opportunity for it yet. It's heading to a dead corner. I've been eyeing Apple for a year now. Watching it goes higher and higher and still hesitate to buy since worry the heat may cool down from peak. However, the heat is still there now. And again, I'm still hesitate.

I'm eyeing Nokia's options, not the mother share. There is still HOPE for NOKIA. Haha. Then why not buy the OPTIONS, the cheapest entry to it? Buy 1 lot enough ma. So what's your take on APPLE in JAN 2013? 500$? 475$? It was just $5.00 last 2 months 500 call options Check the spoiler » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

Holding some mother share of AAPL. Not holding any options after breakout of 425. I'm looking for some opportunity to buy some puts later. Not now. This slow melt is continuing. SP500 wants to break out from 1350.. so gotta to watch for it. Riding FCX, looking for opportunity to re-enter LVS. Might want to scalp some MPEL as well. Looking at energy sector as well.. Brent going up, WTI going down. Spread is widening. Something big about to happen. This post has been edited by danmooncake: Feb 7 2012, 10:29 PM

It's a tough fight for Apple with Android phones now. About the same market share with Samsung alone (22-23%) for now, as Android's users are still increasing. Apple is no longer a "premium" brand to "show face" since it is consider affordable and on par with other brands now. However, if the China fever works out fine, I think even $600 is not a problem by JAN 2013.

With the recent FCX price movement in small price range, I've been holding two trading account accounts: Long and Short. Long below $45.50.. Short above $46.50. Working out well so far. Also, with the recent FCX dividend boost news, I'm going to change my strategy to start accumulating mother shares of FCX for options trading. Looks much better than US treasury indeed. Selling out cover calls or shorting puts - bias is currently sideway to upside. General market is melting up with low volume. Testing 1350 here..Puts are getting cheaper. Volatility is low. $Vix is low. SP500 floor is around 1320-1325 now. I think big boys in control want to take this up to SP 1360-1375 area before hitting it with a sledge hammer. Let see how it goes.. This post has been edited by danmooncake: Feb 8 2012, 09:54 PM
