I forgive you! Especially if you can cover my loss! Just kidding! had small profile of GM as a Hedged Bet. Sold all GM today...

You know you're in trouble when the CEO says "Bankruptcy is not a bad idea."

so when does a share become worthless? only when a company halts all operations? so if i feel that they will emerge a better company to be profitable again one day and the stock price will rise then i should just stay long on the position

Sell your GM shares... With the proceeds buy GM April and May option puts & or bonds.

Watch these webcasts: Options update (about 5 minutes) but especially In the Money (about 7 minutes).

GM shares? Your in the wrong forum. Im talking about SiriusXM stock. GM shares are bigger pigs than this. Only a fool would hold GM stock over $1, at this moment in time. Gm stock was worthless 2 years ago. Just took till now for people to realize that.

For anyone else interested in learning more about options - if you have a TDA account - you can click on the "education" tab in your account and go through some pretty decent online training. I've been looking at doing covered calls - so I've just been through some of it.

any one else having dejavu about the SP today....

No real people are selling today below .34 or .35, it's just MM's playing ping pong.

I call close at .3400

What Im seeing too. I agree. Which means they will need to move the stock up or down again to generate volume, and if they think .32 is holding, only one way left. :)

Hehe. See...
There you go. They dont even trust .33 or .34 to hold tomorrow.

Wow what the hell was that.

Nice little jump at the end there, was figuring .33 -

Level 2 had it at .3500 even

that was a nice little jump..... hoping it's a good tell for tomorrow.... we'll see what AH/PRE hold....

Beach, I'm showing 931,619 and 103,005 shares @ .35 at 16:00.01 and 16:00.06 as the last regular hour sales. (I'm using Fidelity Active Trader Pro.)

Hi Para ... Must be honest - I am holding out wondering if it might open lower in the morning.

Notice the 3 transactions with the same exact amount of stock. Brandon probably knows what this means more than me, but heres what I see it as.
2 MM's or large instituitions. One is covering a short, as low as possible, the other is buying shares as low as possible. The third transaction is probably a buy. One of those traders wants shares over their short they just covered. Now did they want shares to buy and hold, or use to drive the price back down to cover more shorts. No way of knowing.

Rick, you are right, I did learn it that way too.
