Netflix is crazy. Looks like it is going for $300. I'm not chasing it though.

So far Silver is doing well again this morning in pre-market

Bid is at $37.96 and ask is at $38.16 quite a gap between bid and ask which is a good sign so far. Let's see how these gains hold for today. Weekly options expire today.

Robert Turner says AAPL will hit $500 by the end of 2012. Looking at trends I see this happening by mid 2012 and it is also considered the most valuable company in the world. I'm thinking of selling all $50k of my apple shares and buying all calls for that much. Is it a good plan? I certainly think so. Thoughts?

Can you afford to lose the 50K? If you're right then you will be a rich man. But if something happens and it goes down, can you deal with being out the $$?

Marc Faber is one of the few guys I actually pay attention to.

Quote:

Of course, the Fed can't control what we do with the money, which is why bubbles continue to form. Both Alan Greenspan and Ben Bernanke have created massive bubbles, including equities, commodities, bonds, wages, and sometimes currencies. From 2002-2008, Greenspan and Bernanke have created massive bubbles.
To play this, Faber said that cash and bonds are undesirable in this environment, and you should not own U.S. debt. One way to play this is to own ProShares UltraShort 20+ Year Trea ETF (NYSE: TBT). He said that even if the deflationists are right, you should not own government debt.
Faber concluded by saying that he thinks we should prepare for the next war time, and gold might go ballistic. He said having gold all over the world is a safe hedge from potential confiscation.

That's an obvious risk but by then my other investments should compensate for that potential loss. It'd definitely be safer to just hold shares and I'd have a potential of a $25k profit but options seem so enticing. I'd play it safer and sell at $450ish if I decide to but calls.

Wait for the next dip and buy $40 Silver calls.

If the market does not crash I see Apple going to $400-450 but if the market does roll over no way on earth Apple will see $400. The current economic situation in the US is quite bad. Stock prices are where they are now due to manipulation and funds from the stimulus package.

OXY and SLV have done well the last few days. OXY calls are up a good 60% since I posted.

That's another concern. I don't want it to be April 2012 and the markets crash again. And I still have July SLV calls with $36 strike price.

How's SLV in Asia this morning?

Pretty quiet and flat due to US holiday.

AngelinIsRich08 · 05-30-2011, 04:14 PM

^^^. Yea. I forgot the markets were closed today.

AngelinIsRich08 · 05-30-2011, 09:21 PM

SLV rallied by 8.4% last week. I'm thinking it'll do the same this week, maybe another 3-4% though.

OXY up again today

SLV not doing too shabby today either but I would not chase SLV now.

MPEL hit my target price of $11

AngelinIsRich08 · 05-31-2011, 09:56 AM

Siri is crazy. I have been making profits off of it until it was frozen at $1.70 for three months. I just exited out of it and completely forgot about it. It's now $2.41! That's up almost 40% in a couple months!

Chowbow · 05-31-2011, 05:56 PM

Man, I haven't been keeping up. Long on a few positions and just sitting back and letting things ride.

Yeah, Siri is good. They don't have much competition these days.

AngelinIsRich08 · 05-31-2011, 08:33 PM

I'm looking at Siri hitting $3.00 by mid to late fall. But it's still too high for me to go into again.

AngelinIsRich08 · 05-31-2011, 09:40 PM

I sold all my apple shares today and immediately bought July apple puts strike price $335. Automatically made $1500.

Portfolio is up $12k in the last week.

Nice

AngelinIsRich08 · 06-01-2011, 10:24 AM

The US job reports come out Friday and the expectation is that u employment will go up. Job hiring is crap and the private sector only added 38,000 jobs compared to the 200,000 in April. I'm thinking the DOW will be down to the very low 12,xxx. Puts are already in progress.

stylinexpat · 06-01-2011, 10:33 AM

MPEL still holding up and bullish today though I think it is now due for a correction. It had a nice run from when I said it would run.
