Stocks are taking on a more defensive tone today. At the moment, I am not stalking any new risk.
I will be lightening up a few positions into strength. For right now, speed of the market is critical. If the Dow +/- 40 point days are in play, don’t sell into weakness…wait for strength.

I’m completely out of ideas today.
Watching FSLR at these levels .
missed Z, was eyeing it when it was relatively strong today, and then it took off
refiners to outperform from now till early next year
I’m in LLY, remains to be seen if it breaks above 50ma
Can anyone tell me when BALT’s earning’s are? Yahoo has the 28th Schwab has the 30th R.C. is saying today Stockpro says the 30th…this is retarded
Earnings Whisper says 30th, but it also says it’s not confirmed… good luck.
Thomson says Oct 28th
LOL

I believe it reads earnings “are expected the week of the 28th” Nasdaq says 30th.
Thanks guys its the 28th
This from E-Trade and PR Newswire.
Q3 earnings are expected to be announced after market hours on 10/28/13Estimates: -0.070 | -0.120 | -0.170 (High | Mean | Low)
lol , good picture !
YGE looks like a possible dip buying opportunity? It’s back to the 50 DMA.
The china solar space is ice cold. Tread carefully.
Thanks for your thoughts. I was thinking YINN might be double bottoming here?
Bot puts FDX 131 weeklies YOLO
Did anyone jump on PEP calls? the volume on the Dec 90’s is 12,000 on 15 OI.
i went MDLZ instead. huge volume as well in the Jan’s
Bought ISRG Nov calls this morning. Doing well in this tape. Also holding on to GRPN, LNKD, P puts from last week. OA, any thoughts on any of these picks?
Hi StocksRider, which strike did you buy, nice price action and buy volume in the afternoon.
Jules, ISRG strike 380 Nov monthlies.
any thoughts on $JBLU and the volume profile? multi year breakout with earnings coming out tmr morning. in small with the nov 8c’s
looks like there’s a gap to high 8s to low 9s going back to 2007…
Any body dare to keep AAPL calls through earnings ?
holding small portion
I’m holding….is there any way the stock doesn’t drop…It always does when I hold. LOL
it feels like market has developed diabetes
I feel like we have to get past October.
today is boring as shit.
haven’t even logged into my account, i know too much of my stuff is down and i don’t want to sell.
agree
guess we’ll see if AAPL is a market mover tomorrow…in the meantime, GOGO has taken off…finally in the green for me after my early entry
YOLO BALT and HLF into earnings! FML if they miss
Godspeed!
Grindage… hanging in there…
Can’t help but think things grind here for a while then rocket higher OR . . . markets roll over and we continue playing more defensive names.
OA, would really appreciate if you can answer this. I had DECK calls from preearnings and I sold most of it on the earnings pop couple of days ago. Held on to some. Today carved out an almost inside day after the first day’s pop. Looking at the charts would you agree that it may still go up?
Based off today…higher.
Thank you OA! I feel the same.
theres a gap down coming,,,you can feel the dazed and confused vibe from all here….NQ scared the shit out of everyone
I see dead people too… it’ll pass 🙂
The path of max pain would seem like grind and gap down this week but straight back up in a couple of days trapping lot of shorts and then for a bigger downfall after Nov 1st week.
OA, I heard in your AHWOA recording that you endorse betting against Z. Can you please clarify your reasoning. It seemed like displaying one of your classic patterns when you like a stock – low volume, consolidating against a good support line for days. What am I missing? Is it the volume pocket below that made you go against the stock? Would appreciate your explanation.
Yep, ask me in our session.
Anyone else in the CLSN trade? Craziness.
damn dude,,,its a split,,,do you not research ?
Yeah yeah, I get that. It’s a very small play that i’ve had on for a while. OA discussed it a while back.
Damn, couldn’t get a fill in FIVE! Watched the weekly go from .85 to 160 in less than 5 minutes.
OA – Target for APOL ? I’m in Friday options.
Sold half at .65 this morning.. thinking about selling the second half soon
28.5 strike nov 1
Thanks for the input, P-Down. Last time the thing peaked in the morning, then sort of fizzled out the rest of the day. I’m in 28’s Nov1 – it seems to have a floor in the 28.55 range, at the moment.
Looks like it’s trying to rally again…
my target is $30 FWIW
have to pass on anything new here..im in the hole too much with whats out there now
That’s how I feel. Time for damage control.
Z shorts look like a good hedge.
crap – missed selling GS – 162.95 was an area of interest I wanted to sell into and overpriced a sale of half my weekly 165s – d’oh
me too…missed it…making a come back now, lets see
Patience, Kemosabe.
Unless you are wearing a black mask and have loaded your pistol with silver bullets, shouldn’t that read “Patience, Grasshopper” ?
It’s Halloween. I have a mask on.
Well, I am somewhat of a Long Stranger….
That’s what she said.
