Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I am new over the past month or so to options and was looking for advice on time decay for weeklies. I understand the strategies being discussed for longer term options, but how is the best way to play the weeklies. Specifically, on a whim very first thing this morning, I purchased some April...

Has anyone mentioned GT Advanced Technologies (GTAT)? Apple built a factory for them to make screens for an undisclosed product, but I am more interested in the PV development side of their company. If this blog is correct, they could be about to announce (March 14th) a way to knock 40% off...

I dawned on me last night that a ton of investors here are saying that they hope to use the profits from the sale of their Tesla stock to actually buy one. What would happen if Tesla came up with some sort of program that allowed those people to sell their stocks directly to Tesla in return for...

For what it is worth, I think Causalien has a valid point. When I started investing in Tesla last fall, my broker really raised some concerns about investing in it. Apparently it even made dinner conversation at her house. When she asked her high school son about it, his response was...

I have been a been a big fan of Ambarella (AMBA) so far. They are responsible for the camera on a chip used in the GoPro cameras and several other ip based security cameras. Although they just went public within the last year, all of their numbers look very stable and this is not the first...
