Watchlist
Several stocks on my watchlist:
NR7: NYX, BBY
All time high: GS, BIDU
Unusual Options Activity: DE
Courtesy of Briefing.com: DE Dec 100 calls are seeing interest this morning, with LBO chatter circulating. The upside Dec 100 calls have traded 8270 contracts vs open interest of 3450, pushing implied volatility up around 6 points to ~30%.
Breaking down: APPL
AAPL has been trading in narrow range the last few sessions and yesterday it closed below the week's low and below $90 level.
ENER is still on my watchlist
On a separate note, old solider has kindly shared some of his trades with us and there is some interesting discussion going on here & here.

Well I thought those Apple Puts were looking juicy, so I bought 6 contracts yesterday of the DEC $90 put, they're up 186% today. I wonder what going on with DE? Do you ever speculate in options of takeover bids if you see there is a lot of "unusual" activity? Just wondering. Check out today's blog entry, my third options trade, ever!
Thanks!

P.S. As for the post below, that's a lot of great rules to follow, hell if everyone followed them, they'd all be sitting high right now.
Cal, congrats on your AAPL trade! At which point did you enter your trade?
I have not "speculated" in options of takeover bid showing unusual options activity before. I'm keeping it on my radar more for a day-trade candidate should it continue its momentum with the speculation. Its a little risky to hold as swing trade in my opinion. Never know when it will announce LBO (which is great for stock!) or dismiss LBO (stock will tumble!) - which to me is quite like a gamble, unless the options are really cheap
old solider,
Thanks! I hope to be as good as her, lol, if not 50% of her trading skill is also good enough!
