stock options picks

[catrader]

picked up some cop oct 70 calls for 2.65.  cop has ran up some but its pe still realatively low compared to peers.  factor in the price increase caused by hurricane and this can be play still.

abs (albertson's) dec 25 calls at 2 here seem worth the risk.  many headlines on pending buyout in the $30/pps range.  So we should see.  If that happens at least a double in these calls.  Gives you some time too.

bought a cog jan 45 call for 5.40.  ske just got bought out today.  with prices of natural gas expected to explode in the winter, cog seems to be a decent play. can also consider swn and chk although those have ran up some already.

cop and cog calls coming back up, abs still not moving much.  Will probably come up with a new thread next week on the 1,000,000 board, something like 2000 or don't know what amount to with the kitchen sink, that is options, pennies, stocks, anything opportunity.  These few days, can have made money on anything oil and natural gas and if had thought rhat would beat earnings and rimm disappoint.  always look in hindsight no?  Well happy trading all.

well most prior trades lost a whole bunch or expired worthless, so let's start picking again and this try try to keep record to see how it goes.  purchased dsco mar 06 5 call for 2.45.  Guess see potential in the insider buys as of late.  And I think the company might have potential.  Do your own dd.

this is after the fact, but just amazing.  One might have made a 6000% return today if they had bought a jan 06 420 goog put near open today.  Per quotes, went as low as 0.05 and as high as 20.  if someone were visionary and could have pointed this out to us.  like a lotto!  great for put people but call people must be sad.
