HAVING AN AVERAGE DAY

I like the look of the market here today with the usual divergences in play. I happened across a lucky opportunity yesterday in my Burrito love affair, and has paid handsomely.

I booked a gain in $SPLK today and used the proceeds to average a position in $TSLA a few minutes ago. I have lost more money in that name this year than I can count, so like $CMG yesterday, and $BIDU back on 7/29, I told $TSLA that this is our last chance to “make this work.” I gave these three stocks an ultimatum in my last purchases. 2 of the 3 relationships have paid out and we’ve mended our recent differences, now it’s up to $TSLA. The ball is in her court. Naturally, I am invested in her and have given her an opportunity to make things right.

I also bought back into $SOHU after yesterday’s sale. I needed more time, so I locked the September win at its relative high, and bought back into an October position just off the low today. We’ll see how that works out.

The last trade I’ll take today is to add to $LN, should I choose to do so.

    Been meaning to give you props for that $BIDU call. I remember the gnashing of teeth from the peanut gallery as you held firm! Your teaching is so good but I’m starting to think you have a chemical makeup that is found in less than 1/10th of 1% of us. Or just a giant pair….no homo

    You had highlighted WDC a few weeks ago, iirc. Did you ever take a position? It’s flying today. I’m thinking about adding to my NFLX position on todays weakness and very happy with the move in UAL.

    Last week you said you’d explain how the Sep 1 candle in TWTR was “supposed to make me feel bearish.” Care to pick up that discussion?

      WDC was my question for OA. He confirmed that it fits his sentiment map.
      I had it from just before that, and still do.

      FWIW, similar setup now is in KEX. Easy to manage against last bottom. If it doesn’t hold – there is no bottom… lol

        I did take a position, yes.

        Magnum, I feel the price action in TWTR was to get you to sell before it moves higher. That’s been right so far and should look even more obvious tomorrow.

        Still view this as bearish?

      Looking to book September $KMI’s and seeing how $CPB handles these lows to book the puts or let them roll.

    $ADPT is down appx 17% today, are any of you thinking about picking up any shares or calls, or is a falling knife scenario? Cheers!

    @OA I am currently enjoying some big dick gains in my $PYPL calls of this weeks expiration. This move looks like the start of a bigger move. Would you agree or does this resemble a pop and drop to you ?

    What about $SNA. OS in Exodus and has your wedge going. Not really in the hottest sector though.
