Bought April 2013 $10 strike calls on TFSL for $0.40.  If exercised, TFSL would be 4% of my portfolio.  This is a volatile special situation stock.

Bought AAPL call

I should just make a template for this. I bought a $570 strike 2014 AAPL call for $113.10 per share. The stock has dipped sharply ahead of earnings Tuesday. I've read a lot of negative sentiment about Apple lately, but no actual news. I bought because I believe the sentiment is dropping the price, rather than a change in prospects. It's psychologically attractive for a pundit to predict a disaster. However, the size of the position within my portfolio is making me uncomfortable. More profits aren't worth a good night's sleep. Proof either way will come Tuesday.

AAPL call

Bought another AAPL call; $590 strike, 2014 expiration, $113.90 per share. Is there a twelve-step program somewhere I can join?
