Yoo Hoo, Moo Moo...


I threw away a few winning lottery tickets the past week or two: 

AAPL calls on Friday right before the big move up on Monday (tonnes of Twitter chatter yesterday about a guy whose AAPL shares would have been worth over $50 billion, but he sold them back in the day for $800, so I feel for him...)

FB $45 and $47 calls


Next time, I'm going to pile in on every break of a new level, but I'll hold onto the winning positions until I see some call selling or put buying.  But on AAPL, I can only afford to be unilateral for now.  The puts are way too expensive.

This $170 level on the SPY is also no fun, but I'm watching GRPN because it could be the next FB if it gains some momo.
