google and baidu

The announcement of Google is ready to quit China's market is a huge bomb to the Internet stock recently, especially Baidu, the No.1 search engine company in China, whose stock price surged more than 30% in two days.

I bought some Feb. put option of Baidu this morning, hoping a correction will bring some money to me.  Let's wait and see.  But I can hold those put for too long, no more than 2 weeks as the time value is decreasing fast for the near term options. I should close this position by the end of Jan.

I bought some Jan. call option of Google this morning and sold it in the afternoon.  I bought it in 2.8 and sold it at 5.  Such a quick move, anyway, it's like a gambling, just for fun.
