THEY BOUGHT IT

90% of stocks on my grids here were in an uptrend even before the $SPX turned off its opening low. Think about that for a minute. The market looked like a short possibly, but stocks didn’t.

The $IBB was defended at the 68-69 level I mentioned yesterday. That was a very important signal here IMO, as it signals that the market is in a chase to play some offense rather than defense.

I’m watching $CRM, $WDAY, and $KITE.

More later,

    OA what are your thoughts on SAGE after this pullback. News seemed very bullish a few weeks ago.

      I’d have to be a huge fan to buy after a big gap like that. If you had to buy, this is the day to start. Rotation taking place today.

    Just pulled the trigger on an SQ Sep 10.

    Small position in ALJ stock in IRA. Also scoping out WNR but not sure which acct or options/stock – see upside to 25 but may take a while. SN also looking interesting – quiet.

    BIDU pretty coiled up here on the 1 minute chart, but I have gotten my hopes up too many times before…

      I do think today’s low is the short term bottom for BIDU – would be fun if that stock started playing along!

        It will do like most stocks – wait until fewer eyes are on it, then explode 20% in a week….

          Glad I’m not the only one who wants to give BIDU a kick in the balls.

            if it doesn’t work out this time, it officially goes on my A-hole stock list. LNKD, PCLN and YELP are currently on that list for me…

    $AGN has been up but a decent volume pocket above here. May be worth taking a shot here.

    It’s beautiful, commodities taking a hit, Big Tech exploding upwards.

    Anything mining, be it oil or minerals, is getting pole axed.

    Vanguard phone banks are flooded.

    It’s real easy to buy stocks here isn’t it?

    Sold most of my $KMI calls for a 5 bagger. Held a little bit through earnings for a gamble at the very upper edge of that profile. Caught almost no premium into earnings if anyone’s looking to initiate, though pretty tough after this run.

      I am holding – since cost basis is a nickle, I would rather gamble with the earnings than book it here…..I held my MSFT calls and it worked, looking for the same to happen here……

        My batting average has been too good on earnings lately, I have to mean revert on my coin tosses pretty soon. Didn’t want to let the lion’s share of the gains disappear. Also it’s an account I manage more conservatively. But great luck to you!

          yeah, I am letting my winners run here and betting on the volume pocket. If there is a big spike (5%) after earnings, I will take the money and run, or at least trail a stop

          I did close my MSFT position for a 300% gain – think 57.5 is too far to reach and I will lose time premium waiting for price…

        OK, I am a chicken – I took 1/3 position off for an 11 bagger….letting the rest run Playing with the houses money now, so no matter what I should feel good about the outcome…
