nice!  I'm just holding, at this point.  Should have sold at 3 the other day!

Worried about ASICMINER price decline? Lock in a price. I see a PUT option of 6 shares @2.6BTC strike for 0.2BTC premium on btct.co
That's a tempting one, that is.

Smart.

where can I learn about what these 'options' mean?

[velacreations]

it's climbing back up, now.  I think shareholders that had btc lying around are buying cheap shares.  The demand has increased significantly.

We'll probably be back up around 2.75 by tomorrow.

Congratulations to those that got cheap shares.

Call options:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Call_option
Purchase a call option to have an option to buy at the strike price by the expiration date. The premium is paid at the time of option purchase, and is not included in the strike price if you take up the option to buy before the option's expiration.

Put options:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Put_option
Purchase a put option to have an option to sell at the strike price by the expiration date. The premium is paid at the time of option purchase, and is not included in the strike price if you take up the option to sell before the option's expiration.

FYI -- you can change the hours parameter on the query string to view custom charts. Default is the 4 day chart. Sometimes it's handy to look at 1,2,4,8, etc.

Data is available as far back as late last Thursday (6-13) up to what is current from the blockchain API.

Price is backed at 2.8 , so quickly adjust... I think for bid at 1.9 you might need to wait another insane kid panic selling.

sold at 2.89 bought at 2.65 for my entire stash (only 20 shares but still!)

Cool man , if this situation repeat everyday you will soon double your shares.

I did just about the exact same thing, but only sold ~60%

Feels good, one of the first times I had real conviction about a move, and executed.

That's good more options trading will stabilize the market. I encourage people to get more involved in options trading of AM on BTCT.

I decided one or two undercuts is worth another 

PUT 5 @ 2.6BTC strike for 0.13BTC premium

We're getting some competition on the PUT markets on btct.co (In the past, I've noticed the CALL/PUT offers have been overpriced and many intentionally constructed to deceive naive buyers).
