Good Morning

As you know, I am out of town for the remainder of the week. I’ve hit my southern California destination, and have successfully set up shop. The valet and concierge gave me an odd look when I rolled a luggage cart with 2 24″ monitors, a laptop, and microphone through the lobby.

Before I forget, AHOWA members, we are going to utilize GoToWebinar for our session after the bell today. Livestream on the road is not an option, unfortunately. I will provide login details on the AHWOA page prior to our session.

As for the market, I am going to book a couple gains in something today. Just not sure what yet. I feel like I’m on a 10 hand winning streak at blackjack here and know its only a matter of time before I lose a hand. For the record, this has been an incredible run, and further proves the point of focusing on the trade, not the market.

    If you’re here all week, then you have a treat in store for you tomorrow – what is known in the vernacular as “Santa Ana Winds”, a condition that elevates temperature, causes planes to use the reverse runways, and generally trashes the exterior of your car.

    Welcome to SoCal !

      YES. Agreed. Been trying to find a good spot to jump back in this one. Icahn is up to something and these’s going to be a huge pop sometime before year end knowing him.

      Here’s an idea that helps mh hold through intraday shake-outs. I look at the 1 year chart and ask “is it broken?” “Is my reason for getting in the trade no longer valid”? Take a look at LULU today. I considering bailing as my winner turned into a loser this morning. The chart was still vaild. I held. Nice spike in the last 20 minutes or so.

        …and target reached. Taking profits at a near triple but leaving 1 contract on for second target at 80ish.

    Option addict,do you do this for a living? is it possible to trade for a living starting with an account size of 100k or should this just be viewed as passive income?
