TWTR making a pretty strong attempt to trade into its overhead balance. As discussed last night, new highs wouldn’t surprise me here with the way this stock creates chase.
Will update you on new trades as I take them.

(Slamming Head Against Wall)
Well,
Theta kicking my butt in FSLR, GRPN, KBH. Now holding 2/3 of a position in ANGI trading below what I bought at. Trades I passed on (CTRP, TWTR) climbing like Apollo 11.
No question about it. February 2014 – at this date, I became the world’s WORST option trader.
Whew.. im not the only one then. Looking forward to a reset in March.
Pffft – I’ll see your pain and raise you my puts in SCTY, TSL and PANW….:)
You’ll be back – focus on the basics, my friend
hey look. SPX up 2 handles and all of OA’s shit is rocketing into orbit. Business as usual.
/me flaps handbird across table.
I’ve got the teenybopper special going from head to toe, TWTR, AAPL, LULU, DECK
TWTR -> When waiting for the dip goes wrong
GGS Jumping
bot calls in PANW this morning when it broke over 70
LULU looking as sexy as a nubile coed in see-thru yoga pants
I’ll bet if you did down, you’ll find that her stepmother is ANGI.
Bitter Much ?
No, not me.
Solars look awesome, buying March calls in FSLR and SCTY
Damn TWTR, YY, Qihu, FB, and LuLu…Putting me in full masterbation mode….lol
RVLT breaking out.
WUBA looking really good.
@LanForce. Thanks Lan but I can get into WP without a problem. So many passwords I’m forced to write them down. Tried them all, no avatar for me. I’ll live.
Thanks anyway Buddy.
Granpa – I had to create a new account for the avatar website.. Once you have created the new account and added an avatar it gets pulled into IBC. More complex than its needs to be but only takes 5 minutes max.
Thanks Alpha
Bingo! Thanks Takingalpha.
LNKD looking like it found a bottom here this morning. May take a chance if I can catch $192.25 with a tight stop under todays low.
Watching this too with next week’s 200s in mind. Like the footing its found at the bottom of its channel. 4-1 risk/reward to reclaim middle bollinger next week at 210. Going to wait for the close.
Snowed in. It’s great to be able to watch market and read chats in real time. Looking forward to the AHWOA in real time as well. $IRBT breaking out. First target $53.
Bought SBUX puts and TZA calls. Not happy with this rally
somebody brought up the ugly $VHC chart last night in AH.
turns out $VHC won a patent appeal case which $AAPL brought against them. up 12% today
the market moved fast up off the lows sure, and caught alot of ppl off guard, but the more ppl i hear say they dont like this rally for this reason or that, the more conviction i get in it. WBAI YGE TLOG etc biotech hunting looks good still
right
is this the real deal on tsl & mcp this time ?
EDR has no option volume but the FEB 10s look like going well into the money by expiry
I haven’t seen anything on a stretch target for QIHU… I’m not good enough to analyze these things by myself yet.
After 102, you’re in uncharted waters. Recall that prices have memory – I would put a stretch target of 102.50 and see how it responds at that level – with tight Tight TIGHT stops.
It could sail through to new highs, or it could immediately reject them.
If i were me (and the stock hits 102ish), I would have my stop at 101.35
Excellent advice, I have zero experience with uncharted waters securities but I have learned that prices have memory (though not experienced it in real trading yet). I’ll tighten the stops I have now when it gets closer and hope for all time highs.
Thanks Lanforce, and congrats on the fancy new avatars.
Thanks for the congrats – it seems like the avatars are also acting as a vaccine against the imposter.
any weekly YOLOS going into tomorrow?
everybody looking really good in here today showing their flair!
Me?
A little tender thanks to the beating my nutsack took from $ANGI, but otherwise, things are looking great.
is that why the sack is so large in your avatar?
What?? It works on AHWOA but not here. WTF?
There ya go.
There can be up to a 5 minute delay when you add/change an avatar. IBC is not CONSTANTLY polling the Gravatar server.
Also something I learned last night, when you add or change your avatar it will change existing posts you’ve made (notice your original thread that I responded to earlier).
I am long avatars. LOL. nobody likes it…but I will be starting a DDD position today.
i’m probably jinxing this but the dipshit impostor is gone
Something tells me the flurry of avatars (plus OA having clear landmarks yesterday as to who he was) has something to do with it.
ZNGA target should be around 5.50 if it breaks out of this consolidation
Bot few UNXL calls here . (Mar)
GLD puts here?
Soon, me thinks.
what you thinking in terms of strike?
today would be awesome if not for that whore $angi
Never again will I dance with $ANGI. She is dead to me.
agreed agreed agreed
Hope y’all realize that ANGI has a daughter. Her name is LULU.
Indeud
She reminds me of this girl that my buddy hooked up with twice. She gave him crabs the first time and he went back a month later and got them again. Burned twice by the same girl. I feel as dumb as he does.
Dang – flashback to the 70’s. While I’m too sober to share all the gory details, suffice it to say my buddy passed along crabs via an unknowing female intermediary – to me.
Was her name ANGI?
No, but they might have been cousins.
SCTY…took out some intraday stops and look what happens…rippage. volume. rippage.
TWTR doing its best ANGI impersonation right now.
just fell off a cliff. wth
seriously dude?
What the??? Soemone’s playing games.
Someone
Damn….
i guess “overhead supply” was in the high 58’s.
Still haven’t forgotten about short $GLD and long $GDX. But currently both are triple overbought. Hard to take action.
So where do we go from here?
CBS April 65’s and Time Warner stock
$TWTR 57.50’s YOLO – cause I got big balls
They are sizable balls mrboulders.
not sure about the brain, but I got the balls…
lol!
usually they dominate!
looking forward to OA asking “how’s everybody doing today”…mood will have changed. fwiw, i added march calls on DDD.
mood for me depends on how TWTR closes for the day.
just kidding, i’ll love that little blue bird no matter how much money it tries to steal from me.
ohh, I didn’t see that drop…it’s still above the bottom of the daiy channel up. today is FBs day to shine…tomorrow, who knows.
Did some shopping today; Picked up some VJET, SD, CRM, and NAT march calls early this morning. I wanted SFUN but she got away from me.
Might through a starter on GLD puts… I will probably go for the April 115’s because gold’s recent moves down have lasted longer than 6 weeks.
Didn’t mean to post hear yoshii11. My bad
+1 on the CRM, golf clap. I forgot about this one, and today’s entry looks beautiful.
If you see any more of those CRM setups, give me a heads up please. I want in!!
I was scrambling this morning because my watch list was probably too big… so I didn’t have the time to post/comment. Next time though

WDAY going for the 100 roll. FB CTRP saving my ass this week too.Now i gotta get me an avatar.
Buccs is handing out avatars
Yes, UncleBuccs is the resident pro when it comes to avatars – I’m quite happy with my updated version…
That’s awesome
haha!
Realistically I need 4 avatars. Bullish, Bearish, pissed off at the market (and the world). My fourth will show a WW I biplane heading straight down toward the earth. I’m sure you can figger out what THAT one is for…
My PDCE Feb calls were worthless last week… Now profitable?- love that shit.
Any ideas for avatars UncleBuccs?
This comment was not supposed to be here… sorry lanforce

Thanks Twink.Gonna look for pic of that Greek god with two faces to reflect wins and fuckups that plague me.Bipolar something maybe.haha
Either google “gravatar” & set it up there, or use the “settings” tab in the After Hours chat
Thanks.Hope we’re all having a good day.What a freaking market.
Lol! Working on it!
how the hell do u add an avatar? can’t seem to figure it out
Hey Unc was feeling a little faceless this AM. Thought i was gonna get creamed.Felt ANGI was be the template but am up pretty good today.A quick word how to do it would be appreciated.
SEC Musings
For those that didn’t read Fly’s rant last night on his “friends” at Seeking Alpha, I urge you to do so.
With nothing else to do late last night (save total my ANGI losses), it got me to thinking; if a “PR” firm is hired principally to promote a company (and its stock) and an article traceable back to that PR firm is circulated via Seeking Alpha – is not SA complicit to a certain extent in market manipulation ie pumping ?
As a highly circulated and (in some circles) respected financial advisory service, doesn’t SA have a higher degree of responsibility and accountability ?
I mean it’s one thing if Joe’s Blog says “buy Lanforce stock” (LF – OTC). It’s another thing if the article appears in the Wall Street Journal, especially if they omit the word “advertisement” from their copy.
As one of many who has suffered at the hands of “expert” advice from Seeking Alpha – it got me to thinking that their could be a WAY interesting class action lawsuit in there somewhere. Turns out SA’s full disclosures are not so full as one might think.
Lan.Gotta agree with you and Fly but i think some of those bastard analysts on WS also manipulate just the same to get their buddies better prices.Most of them are totally wrong it seems.Look at GNRC which was a position i had and was blown out of it due to an analyst’s “call”
I guess my only comment here is that the WS guys get whatever attention they get – S.A. caters to the retail investor who is MUCH more susceptible to market manipulation and “news” that isn’t.
I wonder how often this “touting” really goes on. I’ve always suspected this but this is the first time I’ve seen someone get caught and pay the price.
I bet the problems for Seeking Alpha have just begun…
and thank the Lord I sold my ANGI calls last night or I’d be hurting today.
I’m a dip buyer of LF-OTC, but just for a quick trade, sell the rip! lol…haha, just playing
I know for a fact it will jump next week from 1.27 to over 3.82 on announced earnings.
if we get back to flat for the day on TWTR i would be ecstatic.
$NIHD taking off…
a little bit late but as well grpn taking off to
TRLA into earnings? Seems risky. I could cut my losses here at 50% or gamble.
Anybody else in SUNE for earnings AH?Good luck to us.
Didn’t see Fly’s post about gold… dang.
Owner of GLD 4th week March puts
wonder if that’s The Fly picking up shares of she who shall not be named.
short covering frenzy?
who knows, but it’s nuts

TWTR – YOLO 57.50
4 to 1 R/R
“Nuff Said”
I’m in.
Once more into the fray!
1, 2, 3 reversal pattern on the intraday 1 minute chart setting up.
Same YOLO
In it.
TWTR YOLOs! I’m excited for tomorrow.
http://youtu.be/SMhwddNQSWQ
Sorry about that. SUNE earnings not till next week.
She who shall not be named is racing back up right now.
Figures since I sold out of my 15’s at a quarter…and now they’re at a buck.
Not trying to rub it in (I’m in the same boat with same options – but I held) – but why such a hurry to lock in losses ?
You know she ALWAYS freshens up and is ready for another tumble after f*&&ing all of us ?
haha, I know. I dumped after it broke down from that flag pattern around noon, thought it was going back to lows. On the bright side, my 17.50’s came back from 0 bid.
HSOL back from the dead
Can’t do it. Gotta dump TRLA and realize a 50% loss.
Aw c’mon
Good luck lan. Earnings are one thing I just can’t consistently beat so I choose not to participate. Not worth the stress.
Angi feb 15’s were a 20 bagger today if you bought the blood. wow.
Aversion brah
Yup, dam, just commented on this in the clubhouse.
I know it’s uncouth to mention this stock in a hopeful way, but seeing as I’m at a 95% loss on my options that expire next week, I hope Denial happen quickly and she gets her ass back up
i fucked up my stock holding plan. I wanted GOGO and ANGI stock. I tried an option play on gogo at 18.50 and the IV crush from the corrected earnings call screwed me. I was supposed to be stock but i didn’t. Now I missed a chance at ANGI shares in the 13’s too. Oh well. 2 months of planning to shit.
matt_bear! I thought you were my comrade in GOGO shares from the $19s?
crazy price action into the close on ANGI
I grabbed LNKD shares eod yesterday. May grab some calls eventually too.
FSLR is set up right now for a big fat move up
and this is the real gator
Jeff were you in SYN and OXBT today??
Is anyone concerned with the expiration date coming up this weekend for TWTR?
If you bought a short dated option, be concerned.
March 22, 55’s, my first options trade, thanks for your help.
You are in good shape with these.
Thanks lan, love reading you here
I am still hold 50% of ANGI feb 15 calls . Hope to see some green tomorrow
Futures down again. Hoping for another gap down to buy. Would really like to add some China and solar.
Good morning, everyone. I just opened an account at TOS, and can’t figure out how to place a stock order to fill before market open. Can anyone help me? Thanks.
hey ilene, on the order entry section on the bottom right where it says DAY, click it and change to EXT and also where it says order you can change it to market or limit, suggest keeping it at limit though as premarket/after hours orders can be pretty wide. hope that helps!
Much like the ANGI 15s at the low yesterday, anyone willing to try WTW 25s today?
I might try it… also interested in TRLA yolo. Just depends how they behave early
thanks, @optiontrader. looking at IMUC. I have an acct at IB, opened a TOS for the charts and my biotech basket.
puts on Gold today?
ZNGA didn’t waste any time
I don’t understand why you guys wanna dick around with gold at these levels.
Having sat on an underwater NUGT position for awhile, it looks like I might get out of it with a profit… While NUGT’s chart looks good right now, I do find myself contemplating whether it might be good to hedge a bit here and if so whether it would be better to do so via calls on DUST or puts on NUGT or covered calls or? Any thoughts? Thanks!
Good to see ARIA back up where it belongs
I think FSLR is ANGI’s roommate.
I hope FSLR is the good roommate…
Sold the Feb’s early this morning and looking to re-enter
Also, while I’ve heard people mentioning rolling some of their options, what do people think about rolling the following options?
CNDO – Feb $2,5
GRPN – Feb $12
KBH – Feb $19
CUDA – Feb $35
FSLR – Feb $57.5
X – Feb $28
With the possible exception of X, I think all of them might still be good candidates… (I should check their IVs however) Anyone have other thoughts? Thanks!
I sold my GRPN, KBH and FSLR this morning. I bought GRPN mar on the sell off earlier this week. I don’t know if I’m going to buy back KBH right away. I am gonna hold my CNDO 2.50’s probably til expiration b/c it still looks pretty good here (imo). I don’t even know when to buy FSLR again… damn thing won’t pull back.
Thanks for the response!
My reply to this is right below Malloyo’s thread. Haven’t had coffee yet.
Sign in required, nice! Joined the TWTR YOLO 57.5 at .50, very small position. BOT WTW MAR 25s, avg .63. No conviction, looking for a bounce.
Certainly agree on KBH, FSLR. I don’t have X, but if it were me – I’d get whatever premium I could and then HOLD OFF on re entry until it can hit and sustain 26.50 or so. That was such a good looking chart, but the darn thing refuses to budge.
I DO hold GRPN and given yesterday’s performance, I think there is still a shot for next week on this one (it was closer to the target yesterday than to the entry).
Rolling is 2x expensive – you forfeit what’s left of today’s premiums, pay more for the next dated one, plus commissions. It’s a balancing act.
I see GRPN has earnings tomorrow… that can’t be right?
I see after market on the 20th
Yep I see it now, thanks
Thanks for the response lanforce!
Wow. This is obviously a rare occurrence. But Several of OAs top non solar/china picks have talked hard of late. $trla, $$angi and $wtw
when it rains, it pours. i have naked puts. the plan was to own it long term and at the same time get some premiums to lower the entry, but $WTW dropped beyond my wildest dream. i also own $TRLA. it’s in my IRA but still.
Tanked I meant. Not talked
Anyone have thoughts re $PRAN?
I’ve been thinking about that one myself but passed for now. Maybe it is good for a quick bounce here at support but looks to be still too fast. Implied Vol is at all time highs. Compare now to to big run-up and fall in Aug-Sep which was followed by a month long cool-off period in October before running again.
Picked up WTW Feb 25’s for .20.
Also picked up TRLA Feb 35’s for .20…. Very small positions here. The way ANGI moved yesterday got me thinking
In retrospect your play seems better. I don’t really want to watch WTW, just looking for a bounce. I should have gone cheaper and shorter.
ZHNE…might take a stab here. Declining volume and decent wedge.
Any biotechs that are actionable?
http://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=211&t=MSTX,ARRY,CRIS,CCXI,IMMU,NAVB,ONCY,CNDO,PLUG,RNA,TSPT,OSIR,INFI,VICL,XNPT,CYTX,IMUC,GALE,MNKD,SQNM,RNA,AFFY,CERS,CLSN,DSCO
My watchlist… Some have already taken off but a couple are still actionable
Thanks Sandwich. Some nice charts there.
CNDO great chart and interesting science. Infecting patients with parasites to arrest auto-immune diseases and allergies. Pretty cool stuff.
GOGO at/below 20 could be a “go-go”.
I like it at $19.05 ish. Right at old resistance line…easy to manage there.
Still a DDD bear? Yesterday and today were the easy part…from here on out it gets tougher…plenty overhead supply to contend with. manage accordingly.
Nicely done… I hope my VJET follows suit
I chose DDD over SSYS because I thought ssys was already well into its run before ddd…but i like how ssys is sifting through the supply. Hopefully yours and mine can follow suit…looks like ssys might be the new leader.
Oh yeah, just noticed that. SSYS just caught an upgrade too
UNXL or fire
I wonder if OA hopped into JASO today
how are all the TWTR $57.50 YOLO’ers feeling right now. I’m not personally in the YOLO trade, but i’m curious to see if people are feeling a little pressure mid-day.
Are you sticking with it till the end, or salvaging premium? i feel like the next decisive move should happen within the hour.
Another hour – we HAVE to see some sort of mid-day break from thsi price point.
Dangit !
