FAST MOVES

We managed to catch a nice ride in $NFLX weekly calls in 12631 today, having purchased them yesterday afternoon. I’m still a buyer of dips in this tape, so I took the opportunity to move into $PCLN weekly calls, $GRPN April calls, and some $NDRM shares.

I missed my opportunity in $GMCR this morning, but am also looking at $CRM calls and $ASTI shares this afternoon.

If you were going to buy weekly calls here, what’s your top pick?

More later,

    Kind of think oil rallies back up above $50 again.

      But I’m a horrible short term trader and wouldn’t know how best to play that. Maybe ERX?

        Which do you think performs better? Oil or oil stocks?

          I’m honestly not really an oil / energy guy. Never partook in that space. My largest holding is still FCAU which I guess is a beneficiary of low oil. But I do like the pullback in ERX strictly from a chart perspective as I think it has a run to $65. So that would be 20% or so vs maybe 10% in oil.

            FCAU is a monster

            Yeah its been a nice easy hold. I still think FCAU gets to $20 to maybe $25 before the Ferrari IPO.

            I mentioned this back in November that this Ferrari IPO would be a massive IPO. Its such a powerful brand. If it gets the $12 to $14B valuation I think it can get, then the rest of the company is only worth $8B or so (compared to GM/F which are $60B+ and only do about 25% more in sales)

          I guess you could play UWTI if oil jumps 10%. But have to get the timing perfect to avoid the decay

            if you are holding for a week lets say, the decay really doesn’t come into play too much. it’s if you end up holding for months on end where decay effects are really felt

            right but let’s say oil goes down $3 then goes up $5, UWTI won’t really outperform much.

    Gasman – I’ve had my eye on shippers also. The Ouija is spitting out STNG. How’s it look to you?

      I think 2016 will be the year for STNG and other refined product tankers. I like FRO for a quick pop; DHT for a mid-term hold; and EURN for an inveestment

        Also like $TNP to $10. It is one of my largest holdings. I would wait for a retest of ~7.85 before initiating a position though.

      Wish I bought yesterday pre-market. I sold it the day before at $102ish and it was down like $10 the next morning. Huge cash flow generator.

      CDN – FRO looks great. It’s broken my heart a few times in the past, but maybe we can be friends again….? Good luck!

      I have a stock position I’m looking to add to. I’m thinking of adding today on this test of the 50 day, with a tight stop on my full position. If it doesn’t hold, I could see a flush to 35ish, which is where I would reload.

    did you intend for these fast moves to be to the downside? lol

    just cleared out the march 0’s, and 3 days into April i’ve already got a new batch of 0’s. Frustrating month after a big start to the year. Almost a repeat of last year, but at least i’m sized smaller in the positions to not eat into a principal drawdown.
