First Round Draft Pick – VEND

Better late than never, but my March Madness entry of -Short VEND- is in the midst of a rug pull here. Millions of unsuspecting buyers of “a great trending stock” are falling victim to the massive sell order, courtesy of “Paulie” and “Vinny.”

Never count me out.

      yep, sandwich was even pounding the table on FRAN just yesterday in here. shame on me for not listening.

      VEND is epic! Its nice just to see this play out. Secretly I was hoping for a VEND vs. VEND 2nd round matchup.

    the tournament calls for a slow grinder, and in typical OA fashion he nails the 2 day 100% gainer. Always about the explosive profit. lol

    ISRG working on its 9th rangebound day. Just a reminder to keep on watch. Not a great buy here since its up today. Sooner or later it will rip on a break of Jan/Feb highs, otherwise a November repeat is in order. It can’t stay in this range forever.

    That was a quick dip there. But I sure like how it created some buying pops. I got in that GERN now that it came right back to the balance point from the triangle.

      Not a bad idea for earnings but I would purchase today or tomorrow because that IV is steady climbing. With all the income tax filings and the holiday season one has to think a record 1st quarter will be on hand.

    sold half of DANG Mar 10 call options…running on house’s money now. badly played trade on my part since I bought in on Jan 2nd, and missed two sell opportunities prior to today. I should have made multiple trades with shorter dated options, instead of riding the March option.

      Yeah I’ve been noticing with these fast movements that it’s safer and sometimes more profitable to actively trade and babysit.
      But I would’ve missed the run in SONS if I only got the Feb’s instead of the Apr’s purchased in January.

          Thanks…I think my longer dated option was fine, but where I mismanaged was not selling for profit sooner. I actually wanted to sell earlier this month pretty close to $11, and I lost track of it in the midst of everything else I was doing. I never initially intended to play this through earnings. How ’bout that PAY…good start.

            Yah I wouldn’t touch the options on this, they’re too thinly traded IMO. Vol pocket to 24, I bought stock @18.2 hoping for the 30% gain on the fill.
