Blazin F up disclosure:

I lost my LT LOW shares on Friday. Just a good example of not giving myself enough time to allow for RL bullshit to sometimes get in the way. Friday was monthly option expiration. I had some calls in the money and normally I would just roll that out. Time got away from me and with 15 mins to go I started entering my orders. There is a divy this week and options computer algos don't like ex divy as it complicates the math some. Just meaning spreads tend to be wider. I was in a call with very little activity and they where nailing me with a +$1 spread. I was trying to use a roll order so closing one call and selling another at the same time. When you do this your bid and ask won't show the system attempts to respond rather than act. By the time I went to cancel that roll so I could enter both legs at the time so I could get the machines to tighten the spread they didn't fill my order...So my shares are gone. That's not the end of the world but its a tax hit that sucks.

This realizes my gains in the underlying and means a tax hit...23 days before it was going to roll over to a LT gain son of a b.

I guess we'll see where it goes but if she sold yesterday she missed the peak by a ton, and it certainly wasn't down 11% in one day. It's down 0.2% today and 5% over the last week.

Edit: nvm the link says she sold it Dec 31st. Which is odd since the market wasn't open that day, but whatever...

Im pretty sure the markets were open NYE.

This was a less egregious trade by Nancy. As we discussed early, AAPL is stretched pretty far by year end. Selling off that high isn't the craziest thing. But do I think there is a chance she got inside info on AAPL sales at year end? There most definitely is.
