WOW, LOOK AT THESE GAINS

2016-01-06_19-27-36Not much to do here but sit back and bask in the glory of all of this movement. Conditions like this haven’t existed since 2012-2013.

I went 2-for-3 in earnings plays this week with $QCOM and $SWFT and my loss being $SBUX.

I hopped on early and bought today’s weekly expiry and Aug monthly expiry in $CMG calls. The weekly was a monster and I love the set-up here for a run in the stock over the next couple weeks.

I am struggling to sell anything, because as I said back in my “No Dips For You” posts, selling here makes it harder to get back on.

I’m fully loaded and trying to move things around to get into some of my favorite watchlist ideas for next week. I’ll have those all completed by this afternoon.

    Bought SWKS and HDP. SBUX looks to be doing not too badly.

    Looks like a home run in $CMG. Nice call!

    surprised PYPL fell so hard on a strong earnings and partnership with Visa. Stupid wall street analyst downgrades should be meaningless at this point.

    Out $iwm Yolo just under a triple. Wish I could have sat and watched it, probably more room to run, but duty calls

    Hi OA, let me preface this by saying I appreciate all your insight regarding sentiment and your abilities to predict market direction are uncanny. I’ve been following your 98-00 analogue thesis, and the one thing I’m wondering is whether, we are about 12-16 months away from the end of a Bull Market, or is this just beginning of a major long-term Bull Market?

    I apologize in advance if you’ve discussed this before, and I can understand your frustration with getting questions that have been answered. Your analysis is as transparent as can be, so please don’t take it to think you haven’t been clear. Thanks in advance.

      This is the start of a longer term bull. In about 2 years we’ll have a nasty bear, but in the context of a bull.

        Makes a ton of sense. Again, I appreciate the plain language discussion and content. Have a great weekend, and thanks for all the advice you’ve given out.

        What are you using to predict a 2 year bull run? You have been sot on thus far, I’m just curious. Thanks

            Never read any. Everything I blog write and use is original content. I’ve never studied anyone’s methods or taken from too many books. Everything I use is based on my own observations, reverse engineering, and honestly just figuring shit out.

    Closed out my $sco shares at $99 for about 20% gain. My original intention was $100 but holding out for that last $ felt like hubris

        I do believe it could. And I don’t close myself to the idea of buying back in. But at this point it was roughly at my target on a Friday afternoon, and I have found waiting on that last percent has been deleterious to my bottom line these last 6 months. I’d be in complete blow off mode in my statement (rather than just doing very well) if I’d not have gotten greedy. So I’m trying to take 99% of my objective and roll it into the next thing. There are many things out there right now.

    When does bidu go too low? I know it’s in balance just trying to figure out downside risk. This setup reminds me of the 2012-13 setup

    Tried to sell most of my $s calls on Friday, but didn’t like the ask and let it ride.

        If a sharper (or luckier) person than I had hit my ask then I’d be out in the cold. But I’ll take it! Having a go at $FCX here.

        Index puts may end up being a good selective hedge against individual names. Well done!

    OA, I remember you saying you are looking for a spot to get long crude. Are you waiting to see how it reacts to the $40 level or just searching for the right stock?
