Anyone else trading BP? I'm up about 900%. Could have been alot higher but I learned from my past to not stay in too long and to stick with your exit plan. Profit is profit.

? Not sure how you're trading it, I was in it for a minute way before the leak but lucky I was not holding at the time.

I won't touch it, but glad it's working out for you. Care to share how you're trading it to be up 900%?

I figured it had to be that, because I went to their stock and it wasn't fluctuating at 900%

No need to be greedy. I learned that 10 years ago.

This stock is crazy. I just wish I had more money to lose. I hope my 900% calculation was correct. I started with $165 a little less than 2 weeks ago and at the time of my first post was up $1600. Now I'm up 2K+. I sold my puts this morning for $600 profit but if I had held onto it for another 2h hours I would have been up another $1100. Profit is profit and I'm happy with what I got. From the beginning I wanted to start with $10K but unfortunately, I was only willing to lose $165 bucks.
