I play options to hit a home run or grand slam. I see it as 100% risk dollars as I have no hedging strategies to offset any losses nor do I write options against stock.

I buy puts and calls only, not index options.

I had one good hit last year with Nuance, NUAN, made $11,400 on a $1,500 investment. I've also lost a TON of money since 2009, all risk dollars.

Anybody see Amazon came out with a new card with 5% cash back on Amazon purchases. We use Amazon a lot and was thinking about getting it.

And yes, we pay off monthly.

I need to get this done.

Our card for personal stuff is a Cabela's CLUB card. Which I'm going to dump because Bass Pro is rolling that business into Chase. I know a lot of people at WFB...

They actually modified the existing card
It used to be 3% amazon/2% some categories like restaurants, etc. 1% everything else

They modified it to where non-prime members get 3% but prime members get 5% now. Pretty sweet.. I'm assuming they'll get rid of the Amazon Prime Store card that used to give 5% off at Amazon with nothing else.

Very nice. How long did it take for that position to play itself out?

Options are just a fun game to me. I don't really care about losing too much because it is going to happen with options whether you like it or not. I try to limit losing by taking short, less expensive positions. OF course there is more to it than just that. But nonetheless, if I make money, great!. If I lose, I hope to learn something. I do not concern myself with any fees either. That is just part of the game. I will say I have made more money than lost. But most of that has just come down to luck.

Still like the position I am in with this trade. BAC took a step back while some repositioned money. If BAC goes down tomorrow. Which I don't anticipate in the morning. I will hold on probably over the weekend. If it spikes on earnings, I'm selling out.

My only question is.

I have three cards already. All with zero balances. One I haven't used since 2010 and only keep it because it is my oldest account. Should I cancel it? We will be upgrading houses in 4-5 years and I want a top notch score.

Do you ever buy anything other than a long call or put?

I buy MOSTLY short term calls or puts that expire within the week. I've even bought options on a Friday morning that expire at the end of the day hoping to catch a big move with high leverage.

I have to be careful because twice this year I was designated as a day trader for moving in and out of more than 4 round trips in a single day and it caused all kinds of alarm bells.

I need to keep $25,000 minimum in my trading account to satisfy Scottrade if I want to day trade so I don't do it.

One time was an error because I liquidated options that were in the money over two days and in 5-10 contract blocks instead of selling all 70 at once. Got hit with like 6 R/T trades on that the way the new rules apply.

Do you ever notice how traders try to move a stock to close at the strike price on Friday's close?

Saw that. I already had the card, so it's nice to just have a new perk.

Has anyone on here used the Nova X Report?

It is being pushed hard on financials websites.

Also-who is into the Medical Pot stocks. I have 4500 shares of one "company" that did not do squat. Some other stocks soared 125,000%. Curious where you think the next play is with so many states changing pot laws.

Just pulled the trigger on VERY RISKY Amazon $822.50 call options that expire at 4pm today.

23 calls for $1,403.10 = .61 CB includes commission

I'll try to get out by 2pm at the latest. Trying to get at least .85-.90 for them

So did you sell? Now you're underwater if you held

The bid-offer on my AMZN options are now 1.20 - 1.29 and running, looks like a short squeeze.

I should sell half the position
