Then 60 day is too long, unless you have info that the company will do well. When is the next iPhone coming out, we start planning with that in mind? So maybe I should just wait till 1st week of October and do a 60 day, coz by the time its maturing people will be shopping like crazy for Christmas so Apple stock should be doing well. Plus I read somewhere that for AT&T users, the iPhone price gets halved after I think November, so maybe I should just do a 60 day with hopes that most people will buy in November, the new one is coming out today?
Itz I think said something about options maturing the 3rd week of the month? So is it best to buy the last week of the month, especialy if you in for the long term?

I think you are still not in the picture, most trades occur in slots of 30 mins. So you only have half an hour to predict correctly. Its only a few blue chips and commodities like oil that offer 60 day trades.

So basically im gonna have to do day trading? Oh wait, most trades are 30 minute trades? Wow!! Thats crazy, and it only happens when the market is open? Or is there after hours trading? So can you put in a whole day trade? If you are in the money at the end of the day, do they automatically sell it off for you?

Wow thanks for the tutorial, that sounds like a very high stakes game. So you would be better off buying Apple on the day they unveil and when they start selling the new phone. Preorders start today.

@Nabwire.take time and learn options trading.Once you start trading you will understand why i say so and you will thank me for all the money i will have saved you.You asked me yesterday what were the best trades after fed action.Unfortunately everything has already moved so much especially if you are trying to get in today.XLF and financials will benefit greatly because of fed purchases of mortgage backed securities.I believe you are already in stocks like BAC,i would sell some and trail some.i wouldn't initiate new positions until after a pullback.watch MCP could be the next GMCR in terms of huge moves.
