TwoCitiesCapital Posted August 21, 2015 Share Posted August 21, 2015 I sold some puts on CHK today. I'm getting a 5.6% cash yield to purchase it if it drops by more than 28% in the next two months. Seemed like reasonable compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCG Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Shitty Scottrade's website seems to be down, so I can't buy a thing. >:( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpadebet Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 You can buy anything...its like Thanksgiving Black Friday...only the wait was much longer. Any ideas on which names have the highest bounce back potential? I am thinking BABA calls, JPM warrants, selling IWM/QQQ/SPY puts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurgis Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 JPM & AAPL orders went through, BRKB went through too. Was on hold with Fido at their high priority line for 20 minutes never got rep... Edit2: Fido website is working though after some glitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombgrt Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 JPM & AAPL orders went through, BRKB stuck. >:( On hold with Fido at their high priority line for 20 minutes now... I was too slow for GM at $25 so I just bought some FFH... Don't expect this to be over yet anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAiGuy Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 By the way, etf's like FDN traded down 40%, are these buyable? Dunno. VIG is pretty liquid for an ETF and the orders didn't go through right away. Does feel like free money, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karthikpm Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 By the way, etf's like FDN traded down 40%, are these buyable? what explains a 40% drop ? Seems like it's concentrated portfolio but has decent names like Amazon, Google , priceline etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like it's concentrated portfolio but has decent names like Amazon, Google , priceline etc It's ETF liquidity. Most of that drop is the ETF trading price, not the underlying securities. It should return to close to par by the end of the day if it isn't already b/c its arbitragable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tombgrt Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Nothing explains it, I think the system failed and some people got great bargains.... Also bought LMCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
