I cant wait to buy puts for LNKD. They are going down just like P did.
I couldn't find if LNKD reports before or after bell so I bought puts today in case it was morning, and I'll be away from my desk for the rest of the afternoon. But yes, it seems to be ramping up for earnings just as P did. With these highly volatile internet IPOs I figure it's a 50/50 gamble, although I think they need a pretty nice beat + improved guidance to justify the 25% they're up YTD. Pandora's numbers weren't bad and it plummeted, I think lnkd could do the same. Google has it at a 760 pe ratio.
I corrected my post above about ALTR. They're having a conference call with a business update today after the bell. Not earnings, but still an event that is going to move the stock
I'd possibly go long ARO but I think the calls are a little expensive. I'm doing my gambling on Ulta already, so will probably sit this out and see how that one goes.

LNKD reported back in February and if I remember right they actually reported fairly well compared to analysis expectations.

I know this well because I documented a trade (MAR $75 PUT) that went against me big time and now those puts are completely worthless. LNKD is not reporting.
Looks like the Apple fire is running hot again. I wish I had sold and repurchased like I would have done in the old days. But I am trying to limit my trading activity.

Don't be too sad. I sold my calls at $545 and have been waiting for an entry point ever since, now I think I probably missed the boat and prob won't be rebuying at these levels (which I may regret later)...
The saying says "Sell in May, Go Away." I'm not really seeing anything that is going to keep the market from going higher. Balance sheets are improving, companies buying back large amounts of stock. I wouldn't be short here. There has got to be some type of market/fundamental breakdown to push this bull market off it's path. I did move to about 30% cash last week, but that was merely locking in gains.

traded AAPL twice. in @ $424, out @ $519, in @ $491, out $539. in for a third AAPL trade: in @ $535, and out @ ??? also, loaded up on AAPL APR calls @ $440~$445 range and they are down ~20%. if the market breaks thru 1,370 tomorrow with in-line job numbers, AAPL should be fine. Its iPad 3rd Generation weekend sales number coming out after 3/16, and its 2Q earning slated a month and a half away. Whatever happens I can bet my house that AAPL will hit $600 before end of this year.

Can you share why that is? I do recall you were dissatisfied with Zecco. Is your new broker outrageously expensive to trade?No, I trade at $5.00 with E*Trade so on 200 shares of AAPL the commission is not really a concern. However, I am not eager to generate short term capital gains. While I made a ton of money trading in and out of the stock, and do not believe I'd have been better off buying and holding, I don't attribute that to any particular skill on my part and I find that if I start "trading" I keep buying more and more of the stock as it drops (averaging down) and quite frankly I don't want to own more than 200 shares.
DelCheapo said: Anyone playing ARO or RENN earnings?
DelCheapo,
I've been debating ARO all day. Quick question for you or anyone else; Yahoo is reporting 12.50% shares short as of Feb. 15th, where can I find more up to date data?

I'm trying to decide which calls to buy on ARO right now....APR $19 or $20?
My heart wants to buy ARO calls but my head is saying no... think I'll sit it out and watch from the comfort of my non-position.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Aeropostale, Inc.
