It needs to be a good one. Pushing the chips all in.
I believe that’s called the DTOTW (degenerate trade of the week)
🙂
i just call it winning.
Read fly now
OA did you cash in on MY or still holding?
Thanks
Still holding.
How about CREG or HPJ?
HPJ is so dam volatile. lost a good amount on that earlier this yr
SPWR up 4%+premarket. Not sure why but tweets about Chinese tariffs and Nellis Air Force Base contract.
whenever i’m feeling sad/down on trading, FSLR just seems to be there to pick me back up the next day.
Agreed. Just sold my FSLR 65 calls for a solid gain.
i got chopped out at $2 (from a 1.21 basis). Still holding jan 15 $75’s and won’t let those go.
Yeah I sold them at $2 at a 1.30 basis. If I would have held a little later into the day could have made more, but after I’ve got burned by a few greedy plays on my part lately, Sold a 220% gain for a loss and a 140% gain for a loss before this one 🙁 I’ve learned to be less greedy.
Loving my FSLR and SUNE today, both Julys…
Took down EOG
Hey I’m making money today! The me of 4 years ago would have sold everything at the open and cried in the corner when everything went up. Props to OA for his learnings and teachings of patience.
How about our old friend TWTR for the TOTW?
Oops, that was yesterday… nevermind
it was fun watching the volume grow on TOTW 🙂
wish I’d have taken the layup OA mentioned initially, too.
Sold SPWR way, way too soon.
You and me both!
strong market, I’m looking at $balt & $MPEL for EOD buys.
Sold a portion of FSLR to lock in 75% win, letting the rest run, first winning trade in a while
That should qualify as a solid retest for SUNE, low of $18.77 and strong ever since…happened to coincide with the 50d
TWTR needs to start flapping it’s stupid little wings and get going.
You ask and you shall receive apparently…. ask for more stocks to move up 🙂
EOG/SUNE please move higher.
Are you taking requests?
I’d like GS to go to 165, please 🙂
$WDAY trying to get it going. Need volume to come in.
Funny, we need Chub to bottom tick the solars more often.
$DISH
OA, I caught the rip out the gate in CREE 8 or 9 sessions ago. Is this the type of throwback you will stick with? I have been, and these June 47.50’s are just going red on me. Logic is telling me to hold the line, but I would appreciate your thoughts.
I could hold shares on down to $46 and still be at ease here. Best case scenario, I could ride this to $55.
mucho gracias
Market has really slowed down; alot of bears got trapped this morning. VXX still getting punished we might see single digits if this keeps going.
@ OA, you called for my service? Here we go. The Chinese solar stocks favorites this group not getting any love today #yge #jaso #tsl
Let’s see where we go from here
I think it might have something to do with the US putting tariffs on Chinese solar cell yesterday or whatnot.
I’m gonna test my bottom tick powers on another laggard that’s dragging me along.
$sina has absolutely not participated in this event mkt run up. Time to short it!!
Long AAV here
OA, What are your thoughts on WNR on this pullback?
Could be a buyer here. Not a bad spot.
Thanks…I’m on it
buy SINA 44.3.
Yesterday I believe I saw the VIX up while UVXY was down. Seeing it again today. Don’t know what to make of that…
UVXY is short end of the curve. To get it up, you need to give it another reverse split.
Thought they were both based on same time frame. 30 days pops to mind.
While we’re at it, would be curious to hear more tonight on why not to use 6mo and 1y for pocket analysis. I figure it’s to keep it dynamic relative to trending price periods we are examining but only a guess.
6 month and 1 year don’t include market conditions that leave pockets in price.
Ah, so not a good enough “sample size” of time then.
The lower time frame has never worked for me. What was the example of this we looked at last night? A short term gap ran over a two year trading range…
Yea, been trying to find it since I posted above.
was it MPO?
One more time for the AMZN option trade…..
what did you buy?
June 21st 310s on AMZN
Wow dude… Talk about making a great pick! Time to take it down for a 100%+ gain
You remember how COUP ramped all the way up past $30 to I believe $32 in just a few days? I think SUNE has that potential. Not saying it gets there by June OPEX, but I feel great about my June 21 calls.
Appears WDAY maybe the first High Beta to move out of aversion
GOOGL might be the tell. better looking aversion stage imo…
Had to play the GMCR YOLO for my portFOLO.
SFUN easy to manage spot, where you can cut the loss if it moves against you right away. YY could be nice if it continues to track sideways a lil bit. ILMN breaking out today.
Finally, if your car gets totaled and insurance offers you a settlement, make sure you negotiate. 1) good possibility you can provide them examples of comparable but higher priced vehicles than what they used in their analysis and 2) they should provide you compensation for loss of use of vehicle (if you don’t use a rental, otherwise rental reimbursement…but with loss of use the $ goes to you instead of the rental company). My final settlement was $2,427 more than initially offered, granted it took 2 more additional weeks.
Sold my AAPL call. In at $3,700, out at $11,940. Didn’t want to flirt with stock split shenanigans or AMZN potentially entering the space.
congrats yoshii
Thanks, we are having a great morning indeed. Somewhat relieved and feel like I have more to work with now to spread out amongst trades. TOTW looking good, too.
nice work!
Nice job, yoshii. Things continue to look up!
u my hero!
good morning for me indeed. $TWTR and $WDAY forging ahead.
That move in WDAY is surgical on the sentiment chart. Got into QIHU – it looks almost like WDAY last yesterday.
no kidding. it feels good to nail the bottom on the entry every once in a while. especially on a sentiment chart play, where the rebound is fast and furious.
Nice move in AAV. Thanks, Jeff
risk on baby. looks like the aversion stage is over. i went long IWM weeklies under 113 to make up for my short SPY follies. good to see EOG and TWTR taking off.
still short AAPL puts 😛
haha, was wondering if you had those puts! the Amazon move today is awesome.
they are not down by much. wish i had AMZN. i put a lot of dollars into BAC, but dang, AMZN would have paid fat.
