My (Good) Book

Options

AAPL, BYD, CRUS, DANG, FSLR, GME, MCP, P, PWRD, SFLY, SINA, SODA, YGE

Stock

GNK, GLUU, LITB, MTL, NTE, ONVO, PACB, ROSG, SIFY

As I book gains and manage, I am not in the interest of replacing longs just yet. In other words, if I add any positions this week, it will be because I took off two or more.

UPDATE: BOOKED SINA, P and closed SFLY.

    OA, thank you for sharing. Could you please share your thoughts on a TSLA entry? Looks like it could go to make a double top with its recent 194/195 high.

      There is a rhythm to Jeff’s trades. Once you get a feel for it, it really is a thing of beauty.

      Until then simply matching his entries and exits is not a bad substitute.

      More on that tomorrow when I recap my first month in this room.

      wouldn’t wanna see that gap from back in February get filled – long way down to $14 – looks like a volume pocket down to as low as $11.50 from the big volume support at $17, now broken.

    With Adobe losing almost 3 million customer profiles and credit/debit card information to hackers, I think there is gonna be some spotlight plays on Internet security.

    I’m adding FTNT to my watch list for a possible entry point.

    Oppenheimer raises its FTNT tgt to $26 from $24. Following a final round of 3Q checks, firm’s confidence levels have increased and it believes FTNT should be reporting results at the top end of guidance. Opco’s elevated bullish view is based on: 1.) anecdotal US (41% of revenue) checks suggesting an increased number of seven digit contracts; 2.) strength in Europe (34% of revenue); 3.) strong pipeline build-up for 4Q.

      Also out of FSLR booking 100% gain. I think that we are in for a bigger plunge this week before things get better for markets and that more stocks will be correlated as we continue our slide downwards. I hope I am wrong but this is what it is for me.

    The way I see it, time decay will be really aggressive as evidenced by today’s tape. Trading down or sideways over the next 2-3 days will put us in a very tough position. I think the trade is great, I’m in on the 500’s at an average of $1.62 but whole thing getting crushed by DC. What do you think? What would be your exit strategy?

            i sold out , big gain as well as nice intraday loss meeh. douldn’t see this coming really after the secondary .

        I am willing to take a chance. I was ready to pay $2.0 for it 2 days ago (Friday or Thursday). And it seems on track for your target.
