    If $AAPL breaches 560/570, going to be buying 500 June Puts.

    • emburns: could be the push below 500. I think the default and subsequent market sell off would be the event horizon which shaves AAPL market cap.

    • emburns: Besides with the VIX where it's at, you're getting vol relatively cheaply.

        Sold $AAPL Jan puts for 30% gain, buying 550 Feb calls - looking for an extremely quick trade.

        • XRTrader: Agree with call buying - picked up some Feb 2013 $500 calls this morning. Yes, expensive, but if AAPL bumps $25-50 profit % will be huge.

        • XRTrader: Meanwhile, even if AAPL stock drops, the feb calls will retain good value as they price in Jan earnings results IV. Good risk/reward.

                            • Ocean Man: Sometimes when you get a double it's good to let a smaller amount ride on a cheaper strike so you don't give back all or lose out on more.

                                    I'm thinking there is a ocean of stops around 520 in AAPL that is waiting to be hit.

                                        When will the AAPL margin calls begin? Is it too big to fail?

                                            AAPL continues to bleed money. Also, about to be right on my call that it'd be under 520 by Thanksgiving.
