Eliminate the Noise

Not much value coming from me today, as I view most of today’s price movement as noise. With the market generally acting heavy here, its important to notice what stocks are diverging from the overall flow of the market. Based on what is moving today into broad market weakness, there is still an appetite for risk (TSLA, GOGO, SFUN, HLF, CLF, MNST, QIHU, SUNE, etc).

This was a point made yesterday in After Hours with Option Addict – rather than focus on market weakness, focus on what is working underneath the surface.

No new positions out of me today, but will probably book a couple gains and take off a loss.

    Anyone else like the spot in LNKD for a dip buy?

    Pretty easy to manage.

      Man – certainly is tempting on a $4 dip. Not a classic OA trade, but tempting nonetheless. All it takes is ONE good day in the market….

      Given that they are weeklies, I guess we can call this a YOLO.

        these conditions must be met for it to be a YOLO trade:
        1) is it a weekly option?
        2) does the trade excite you?
        3) are you only allotting “stripper money” to the trade?

    I will be picking up a BWLD position end of day if level holds (probably options in Jan). If CMG gets it act together this will also go up…if CMG tanks, it may bring it down. Or, it could act independently.

      Even after that nasty breakdown through support? I was thinking it might dip to a 15-handle this week after that awful price action.

    I’ve changed my rank from “Piker” to “Distinguished Gentleman” with respect to the AHWOA service. Hopefully that’s enough fire power to turn these markets around into today’s close.

    I am trying to understand charts. If I understand correctly, is the support holding good for LNKD?
