I'm also long via the aug 16 180 calls into the report, we haven't really seen capitulation from the shorts and I'm expecting a big guidance raise considering all the free advertising the company's got from the stock performance.

Wow 250 calls expiring in 3 days (before we) were up to a dollar. I may have to jump in to the selling volume game.

I was on a phone. I meant selling calls and that 3 day expiration was before the ER.

When I say I'm short vol i mean i'm short volatility. I you're not sure what i'm talking about feel free to ask

Any thoughts on snap here? I thought i saw some pretty spirited snap vs facebook talk somewhere. I'm thinking about selling calls in both the weeklies and monthly here. seems like there's a ton of risk to the downside here but i don't really follow the stock much

I mistyped, meant sell calls.

But I'd love to hear which specific strategy you are using to short volume and why not others.

They barely beat. Should run flat. I'd guess they give most back

I'm sure they'll give some back from hitting 210 just now. I think my 202 call is safe till the opening bell though.

But who knows really, CC and guidance incoming...

How are you enjoying the whiplash? From 216 to 198 back to 205 where it closed. You may still be good after all this.

You keep using this word YOLO, but I don't think it means what you think it means.

It closed at 202 yesterday...

Not my entire account. But given that I haven't really attempted earnings gambols in my short time in options, it felt YOLO-ish at the time.
