Re: Like shooting DVDs in a barrel
I have to agree with Nibbler on this one, but I'll be more aggressive... there is a $2 premium on put options that are $5 underwater and expiring in 4 days. That's pretty hefty, especially since the equivalent calls are trading 30-40% lower. Lots of speculators see a big drop going into next week, I think.

premium on the puts is still ridiculously high. Expiring in 4 days yet we've got to drop 6% just to break even? With piddly volume, the air will eventually let out, but I'm not sure it will by Friday so I am still not touching any options here.

Keep doubting Netflix :) I was right when I said last year it was turning into a superstar.

Have to say that this high flyer is worth some more research. Not sure where it is going next...and wondering if it is a chance to buy some puts or if we keep climbing.

I knew Josh wouldn't let this go unchallenged. Just to throw a baseless claim into the mix i've read that APPL wants to get in (and for APPL that means ruthlessly dominate) streaming movies via itunes.

might look to close this one today rather than roll the dice with monday...
