OPPORTUNITY IN THE SPEED

It’s been hard to get much traction in swing trading, but its been great to see you guys navigating this market so quickly.

There’s been a lot of solid group think in the chat, so thank you for your participation.

As discussed in After Hours with Option Addict last night, I like the idea of a bounce here for the remainder of the week. This may only go so far as to create lower highs in the market, and get that VIX back down to 16-17. From there, if you are a bear, you better come out fighting. If you are a bull, better pick your top prospects right here and now.

The charts I posted on yesterday’s blog seem to be good for at least a 10% market move at minimum from these prices. Within a week and a half to two weeks from now, that move will begin.

Good long tails and strength in a few growth names today. We’ll see how they perform into a little market strength this week.

    Bought $FEYE this afternoon. Stop at 27.50. Order in for 1/2 position of $SUNE at 17.50 for a long term hold if it pays it another visit. $BAC back below where i sold it last (+/- 17.50 at option expiration). If we end up in a deflationary, low rate environment, is that still a reasonable play?

    Alright @Bchu, I’m taking a shot here at JDST…

    In at 9.40 with a stop below today’s low. Don’t really like the overnight risk but taking a swing. If I’m wrong make sure @Chub gets his share of the money…

    Bounce soon. I think we take out December lows then lets see where we are. My two cents.

    I bought a small amount of calls in FB, BABA, and MBLY late in the day. The latter 2 look strong so far, but who knows in this market anymore. My KORS calls were obliterated today on a single downgrade to Neutral.

      KORS – mine too. Hedged by TLT at the moment, but damn. Was sure retail was going to run a bit.

    Ten year ($TNX) double bottom in yields? Only bond chart that has any potential meaning out there. Methinks the elusive top in bonds has just occurred. Big day for equities ahead —

      every dip gets bought. 2015 is a bull market yr for anything precioius metal related. So many bears had been calling for a crash in that sector.

          You are correct, 90% fall in these so lots of room above.

    Out of my BITA calls +323% what a good trade. Could go higher still but given the market I’m just going to lock in profit

    barely 30 comments on a day old thread….in past times this has been a very lucrative buy signal.

    bought FEYE march calls, and SPY jan calls.

      Does seem a bit dead – maybe people are actually focusing on stocks instead of arm chair quarterbacking OA’s stock recommendations

    Anyone else heavily invested in retail stocks. I think this first quarter could be all retailers.
