I pulled in a hand full of NVDA Oct $15 calls instead. Dirt cheap, lots of volume and I think NVDA may be putting a bottom in with all the news just past.

CHK and XTO are both good companies for the long haul. I own both of them.
my biggest positions are CHK and DVN. i will also say i live in oklahoma city so i get to hear every good piece of news tenfold on these companies. they really pump them up around here. if you want another good play on some oklahoma energy, look at SD. CEO's of both CHK and SD use to be in partnership back in the day, and now they are both part of the ownership group of the OKC NBA team. Boone Pickens also pumps up SD for the long term.

My portfolio is pretty much flat too nothing is dropping too much. Looks like AAPL is going to hit the 160's again. If that happens I'll pick up a few more shares.

Too bad Visa isn't dropping much still hanging around the 75-74 mark =(

Not sure what you mean. My stuff is mostly flat for the day with the exception of WM. Steep drops in what?
Maybe he was talking about the DJIA.

obviously this is a scenario if everything goes a certain way...but it's something to think about.

I don't know if I am looking at the right area, but on Yahoo! Finance, I only see Sept and Dec calls for NVDA

AAPL traded flat, it is trading like it's going to take some serious market turmoil to bring it back down in the 160's.

^^ Yeah, PW I don't know what you're talking about or how you came to that conclusion.

Try this for NVDA options http://quote.morningstar.com/Option/Option...l=A&ticker=NVDA

Symbol UVAJC. I paid $0.60 for 10 contracts ($600).
