Stock Rhythm

The Solar stocks and China names are working today, and I’m getting support from other positions I’ve been holding over the last couple weeks. Today I feel much more in tune with the stock rotation going on out there and our existing positions look awesome.

With this strength in China, I picked up shares of WBAI, and am watching MOBI, CLNT, BONA, and DQ.

I’m looking for set-ups, so if you have any that are compelling please feel free to share.

    RBCN? multi-day full flag….though it’s also at the top range of a multi-month flag. Would you be looking at breakout potential or a trip back to the low 9’s?

    If I don’t nail ACAD w/my Feb’s, I’ll be getting the March contract and be out ahead of earnings on the 10th, or not. Either way, I like it

      Sold my CRZO calls on Friday. Only up around 200% today…Instead of a beaten up rabbit, my avatar should be a cat, because I’m nothing but a pu$$-…

      I sold QIHU last week and I top ticked it at 4.10 just before it took that dive. Felt fantastic then, but I now I know.

      I had my sell order in just about where the underlying stock was to hit uncharted territory. Still a win.

      every social media stock (except the golden FB) blew chunks and sold off hard on earnings. So, logic says close the trade out and avoid the pain. Stock market logic says using regular logic will leave you in awe as GRPN magically gaps up a $1 instead. lol

        Yeah I agree matt. One of them is due for a post ER pop and it could be GRPN.

        One of the many things we’ve all picked up over time here with OA is discipline and avoiding that kind of gamble.

        It wasn’t that long ago I’d load up for that pop!

    If you were a holder of YGE and HSOL feb calls, would you take the gift today and sell? Or would you yolo it and hold it out for the week? Any input is much appreciated

      i assume you have yge 7’s? depending on your cost basis, you probably need a 15% move from here at a min. Very tough call.

        I threatened to put FSLR on my permanent black list, so I figured she’d do something today.

        (Yes I wrestled with this on Friday too – but decided to let it ride).

      Yeah, my FSLR was so near to worthless at the end of last week that I didn’t bother to sell it.

      Go FSLR go!

      I’m in it with you lan, but my concern is we’ll see a she-who-must-not-be-named-esque earnings play, where it’s up, just misses estimates only to see a gap-down through the volume
      pocket.

      ..But yeah, may as well hold it at this point

        I think the difference here is that there is not all the surrounding hype that there was with she who will not be named.

    I think it’s coiling for another gain. Maybe put a stop in @ 10.70, but give it tomorrow to try and shoot for 11.50.
