Comments on: How I Made 164% Today on Apple Options http://www.darwinsmoney.com/apple-options/ Financial Evolution for the Masses Sat, 04 Feb 2012 16:14:25 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Darwin http://www.darwinsmoney.com/apple-options/comment-page-1/#comment-255 Darwin Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:01:19 +0000 http://www.darwinsmoney.com/?p=86#comment-255 Actually, yes! I had bought an out of the money Oct expiry 35 strike call a few weeks back when shares were in the 20s. I also bought something like a 10 put. I figured the stock rockets back up into the 40s by October on well resolution/buyout news OR they declare bankruptcy. Looking as though the former. Right now, in the money a few hundred bucks, but I'm just hanging on for complete resolution. The market hates uncertainty. Once the issue is resolved, shares will rally. If a buyout rumor arises, that will drive further increases. Actually, yes! I had bought an out of the money Oct expiry 35 strike call a few weeks back when shares were in the 20s.

I just closed position at $1245 for 245% gain since shares followed thru today. You're right, I owe myself an iPad! I'm just not an earlier adopter by principle though, maybe I'll save it for 2nd gen! Yes, sorry, got my hundreds mixed up!

Don't you mean $260-$270? “At the time, Apple was trading in the low 140s.”
