You know Wall Street hates AAPL when u see :

NFLX jumps 17% when reporting a profit of $24 Million  ,
AMZN jumps 12% when reporting a $550 Million loss

and

AAPL reports a $13 BILLION profit and drops 3%

@fc
AMZN & NFLX have a combined MC of roughly a 1/3 of AAPLs, which makes them more likely to pop after a good report (or in AMZNs case, a report indicating future growth).

VRTX is a drug company that's come out with a new cystic fibrosis drug that's under review by the FDA.
The announcement by the FDA on whether they will approve the drug or not is set for May 12.


It is likely they will approve it's use:
CF disease has few drugs available for treatment.
The CF foundation was involved in the testing of this drug and is backing approval.
The precursor of this drug is already on the market and works for specific CF patients.


If the drug is approved, the stock should jump.  This is a volatile stock.  In the last 3 months its gone from $110 to over $135, back to $115 and then back up over $135 again.  After hours yesterday, they reported a bigger loss than expected, so the stock price dropped.  It was already going down after rumors that it will be bought out were quashed.


My play. 
I expect the drug to be approved.  I hope it will pop up to at least $137, the high it hit twice in the last 3 months.
I bought call options that expire on May 15. 3 days after the FDA announcement. 
I bought calls that the option + the premium cost less than $134.  That gives me $3 each one profit.


Or I could loose the entire amount.

Care to elaborate what the premium was, strike price ....
If you focus on being a boss, you will never be a leader. Leaders lead people to growth and improvement.

The stock is now 124.20
A may15 call with a strike price of 125 cost (premium) $5-6.  So if the stock is above the strike price on may15, you'll pay a total of 125 + (lets say) 5.50 = $130.50.  Any amount the stock is higher than 130.50 is profit (less fees).
The price of the stock has fallen a few dollars since yesterday, so the options are cheaper.
(It often pays to just sell the call - at approximately the same profit - on or right before expiration.)

I'm not that familiar with option trading, but who would buy an out of the money call 1 day before it expires?

This stock has weekly options.  I'm talking about the monthly ones - May 15.
