Apple Inc. (AAPL) 7-25-07 Trade
Bought some Aug. 150 calls yesterday and doubled my position this morning. Apple reports today AMC. They will beat expectations. Stock should go up after hours today.
!@#$ $!!%$ ....I am so pissed...late yesterday the stock started to dip a little, so to protect some gains I put in a stop loss order. I figured I'd put it low enough to stay in it, but high enough to give me a profit if the price dipped that low. Well sure enough the price hit my stop price and stopped me out (sold my options) It hit it exactly no less!!! I swear market makers hit peoples stops on purpose just to get the commission from the trade!!!
So needless to say I am very pissed, as I predicted Apple shot up to the moon after they posted earnings. RECORD EARNINGS!!! Because I got stopped out I missed this big move, one that would have netted me 3K.
So after I got stopped out, this trade made a 3% profit. Would have been 100% at the least!!!

Apple Inc. (AAPL) 7-24-07 Trade
Yesterday with Apples morning sell off (which was totally not justifiable) I bought some Aug. 150 calls. Mid afternoon it shot back up and I had a nice 27% profit. But I decided not to take it and set a stop loss at a 5% profit. Well later that day starting at 1:30 to be exact it started to sell off again. I got stopped out my stop price and made a 5% profit on this trade.
I would have usually taken the 27% gain and walked away, but with Apple reporting today after market closes, I felt I would have more upside. So around 3:00 I bought more Aug. 150 calls.
This morning it shot up with a nice 28% gain, but was short lived. I did not have time to place my sell order to capture that gain. The stock started sell off quickly again, so I double my position and watching with a close eye. I still feel that the sell off is B.S, Apple will come out and report later today and beat the streets expectations. AT&T's numbers were totally bogus. AT&T is not going to make as much money off the iPhone as everyone thinks. AT&T pays Apple $3 a month for every iPhone, plus another $8 a month for every NEW customer who came over to AT&T just for the iPhone. There has been (so far..only a month) 70,000 new customers. So right there is over 5 million dollars a year for Apple coming from AT&T.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) 7-2-07 Trade
Bought some July 125 calls this morning right after the open, when all the idiots were selling off the common. I sold them 10 min later for a 12.5% profit.
I will be looking at this trade for the rest of the day. If it dips back down to around 2.10 I 'll get back in.

Apple Inc. (AAPL) 6-25-07 Trade
Bought back some July 120 calls. Same trade as last. But this time I bought twice as many. Apple, (rather the whole market) is on a roller coaster ride. Great for trading as long as you are on top of your trades.
I sold my 120 calls today (6-29-07) for a 17% profit
