2006-04-07 Friday (NVDA ex-split day, add 250 OPTIONS)

The NVDA split took effect immediately at IB that I saw
-2400 NVDA
150 200604-NVDA-27.5-PUT


I input 1300 cover order at 30.00 that it makes sense because yesterday SHORT closing at 30.6.

I also did 200 GOOG short sell and cover and win $156 from GOOG

When near to the ending, the short screeze continue to the hardest level that the NVDA-200604-27.5-PUT Option drops to 0.15!!!! lowest ever!!!!

Since the ending before-split was 0.30 and ex-split is 0.15. I believe at 0.15 level, I have lots of chance to win!!! My gult feeling is correct.

I bought 250 OPTIONS near the closing at 0.15, which pull all my remaining OPTION cost down to 0.19. It means next up-level sale can bring my OPTION even.
