I never recommend trading short dated far out of the money options. It is very risky and is almost always a losing bet when you are trading just about any ticker.

A day after UAL’s earnings sent Airline companies and Cruiseliners ripping, we have AAL’s earnings this morning doing the same thing. Related companies are getting a  jump in price as well. I looks as if AAL will met two convalescing resistances. A short term trending resistance and a long term horizontal resistance. All we can do is wait and see. $United Airlines(UAL.US)$ $American Airlines(AAL.US)$ $Southwest Airlines(LUV.US)$ $Delta Air Lines(DAL.US)$ $Spirit Airlines(SAVE.US)$ ...
