On Monday’s watchlist, I highlighted MNST, a stock that was preparing to make a Monster move this week. Immediately at the open this morning, I tried getting a fill in August calls. I tried to haggle the price, all while prices were moving steadily higher off the open. I cancelled and raised my offer twice, attempting to chase the order with the stock…got frustrated, kicked my chair over and walked away from it. Needless to say I missed a monster mover today.
A few small trading errors like this, such as refusing to take my July calls in GMCR off yesterday morning at my target significantly slows down your progress on the week. Miss a great profit taking opportunity, miss a layup entry in a stock that explodes, and my account could have been up an additional 4-5 percentage points this week. Oh well.
I’ve taken the opportunity to look for set-ups today, because it beats watching a rotational tape.
I like FIO, LITB, SCTY, BZH, GOGO, RVBD, CST, LOCK…and KCG.
What are you watching here?

I’m watching JBLU into earnings, was up to 7.78 today until it got downgraded by JPM.
My favorite airline long…
I’m watching the GRPN move OA
Awesome pick
Would you grab some GNK here?
Yep
TRMR, recent ipo
Great look
My China longs are looking fresh.
Watching and picking some ANGI calls expiring this week.
I’m watching KBH and BZH. Just sold 1/2 of LITB @ 15.85 from 13.55.
watching $RAD consolidate some good gains, and of course the “buy the dip” in $ZLC
ZLC!
With of hearts of ice, the house is cold
Its like Slick Rick, without the gold
This right here is the life we chose
No excuses just go for gold
Although I already picked up ANGI calls expiring this week, I am thinking of picking up Aug calls too as a play upon earnings next week. May sell into strength pre-earnings next week. Thoughts?
How about UNIS,PLUG,CNIT,ACT off the 50 day, and VRML flagging just above the 50 day?
Out of those I could try VRML
thanks
I’m adding FSLR here. What is your next target?
Over what time frame?
Next month OP EX? My old BRKB is hitting high everyday quietly,,, gives me calmness. ( before the storm?)
$55.
Thanks. For stocks, will you sell FSLR before earning 7/29, or ride it through?
Sold last 1/2 LITB @ 16.19.
Why are you getting out? I am thinking of hoping in here…
I think it goes much higher. No problem getting in IMO. I just wanted to book the nice profit from 13.55. Probably too cautious.
Watching CVI
FB over yesterday’s high. Almost there.
ctrp
China stocks are starting to get aroused…
DATE, DANG, VIPS, CYOU, LITB, QIHU…etc
any ideas for the Friday expiration? Big movers with premium are ok. I have been stalking Bidu ahead of Monday earnings.
About to try NFLX
was looking at NFLX as well – what do you think of the 235’s – waiting for that drop to old resistance levels.
Also in on RKUS calls on your recommendation. Thanks OA!
NFLX is looking so sublime for Jul expiring calls. You doing Jul Exp?
Yes, but missed my f’n entry.
Here comes your chance. It is coming down nice and measured.
RAX, is shooting to 45 to soon
50 in 2 weeks?
Wow. The robots heard you.
Does DM have the look you want?
OCZ? SKUL? SUPN?
I like that SUPN. Like the others too, but not yet.
How about that $RKUS? Thought it was dead yesterday. Thanks.
Still love this one. Give it a little time.
Is this only because of $LEAP for momentum, or perhaps it too is a takeover target…
My picks won’t always require a fundamental thesis.
Long PBA at 31.66 (are you in this?)
Nope, not I.
Are you a buyer of Z ?
Up 8 of the last 9 days. I would anticipate a loss entering here.
Long CVI at 47.54
I missed entry NDLS yesterday. Is it late to get in ? What is your strike price? Thanks. I’m looking PBR also.
Will let OA answer. But thought of sharing this on PBR. Cramer pumped up this stock big time in yesterday’s show. I liked his explanation but it was a cramer bump at the end of the day. Part of today’s boost may be from that.
$12 was a gift in this name. Closer to $13 I’d start spending.
Added to the MBI 13s for Aug and took a big swing at the Aug 14s .
Bought a 100 of the AIG 47s for Friday and am watching very closely . Will run at .25 bid.
Long VLO Aug 37 calls at 63 cents.
BORN recently popped up on my radar. Thoughts?
I’m going to try a few of these stocks again soon.
Watching ACAT here, earnings 7/22, thinly traded, but going higher IMO.
