Cleveland - I am trying to negotiate Twitter and would like to follow you if you are on there - I found Helen and I think I found Dr KSS but there seems to be several similar nicknames I am so sorry for the personal affronts that you all have endured he[...]

$APTO - Helen, Doc's call on $Apto was indeed spectacular and I am one of the fortunate one's who jumped in at that time. I outlined the price history since inception of trading so that individual Gummies could form their own opinion of the implications[...]

$HALO - stock is up modest $.35 and June '18 calls (all strikes) are now offered at 80+ implied volatility instead of the usual 50+; something is up. Looks like judicious bids are in order hoping for a lucky fill. long $HALO calls.[...]

$HALO - previous high close $19.07; previous high tick $19.37 currently approx $19.20. Call option implied volatility increases from Jan'18's and March '18's around 38-42 then June '18 's jump to 50 and Jan '19 and Jan'20's 50- 54. Clearly the setup f[...]

$HALO - I've lost the post but the question was why trade Jan'19 calls for March'18 calls at the same strike (25), when the Jan'19's obviously have a much better chance of still trading when and if there is a buyout. The answer, which may not appeal to e[...]

Thanks to all Gummies for your interest and support of this thread. I have decided to no longer post here and will post my suggestions and conversation on Dr. KSS ' main thread. $Halo calls will be the initial subject of discussion.[...]

Dr KSS - I will take your advice and post option trading discussion on this thread. I recently managed to post the following on the other thread:$HALO – my suggestion is to switch some of the Jan’19 calls into earlier expirations and then to add w[...]

$HALO - Jan'20 options will trade as of Monday (11/13) The pricing of the prior expirations should not be affected. Currently the implied volatility of $Halo calls is between 47 and 52 with the out of money Jan 19's at 50-52 and I expect similar for the [...]

$HALO - Jan'20 options scheduled to start trading on Monday.Since many Gummies are holding substantial profits in $Halo calls, I would like to post some additional suggestions on my thread, STOCK OPTION TRADING, but I can't find it under "most activ[...]

niizajim - - $HALO - all my option plays in this stock are intended to make enormous profit upon buyout. I am perfectly prepared to lose some premium along the way. The stock appreciation and subsequent profit are "icing on the cake". So let's grab so[...]

$HALO - my suggestion is to switch some of the Jan'19 calls into earlier expirations and then to add when Jan'20's are available. This seems reasonable - we have 400% profit in Jan'19 25's and my idea is to lock in some of the profit and cater somewhat to[...]

$Halo - Since we Gummies have substantial profits in the Jan '19 calls and since the Jan '20's will be out soon, it might be prudent to take some profits and re-invest in the March'18's or June '18's which sell for much less and then also re-invest in the[...]

$HALO - Thanks michmana2 for your excellent post. I intend to post some ideas regarding an adjustment of positions because there appears to be a distinct possibility that the potential suitors are getting antsy. DrKSS may have coaxed us into "homerun[...]

$Halo - hello again DrKSS - I've been away for awhile since suggesting $Halo Jan '19 calls on Stock Options thread - interested now in any recent news or developments in possible buyout and of course any of your comments on their science - thanks[...]

$Halo - long Jan '19 calls with 30 strike; as stock moves up we gain unrealized profit and also lose leverage. Is there any recent info on time frame and/or MC of possible buyout? Also not sure when later 2019 and 2020 expiration series become availabl[...]

Lumpified - I can help a little: Equity with loan value must exceed maintenance (not initial) margin; excess liquidity is important and when it falls below 5% of liquidating equity you will receive a warning and then if it falls to zero, some portion of yo[...]
