Facebook (FB) Quicklook - 3 Jul 12


<ul>
<li>Decided to get off my bum and make a move today</li>
<li>Sold 10 Aug $35/40 Bear Vertical Calls today for $75/contract</li>
<li>Profit Potential of $750 / Loss Potential of $4,250</li>
<li>I don't see this POS getting bullish anytime soon with technical resistance, low volume, a high P/E&nbsp; and limited ways to improve the EPS</li>

The Chicago Board Options Exchange will start listing option contracts May 29 The exchange typically waits a month or more before offering these options, but investor interest in the social media giant accelerated that timetable More Recent News/Trade
