ALMOST THERE

If things align here today, or even tomorrow, I am taking a shot against the beloved $AMZN.

If we see a market bounce here and $AMZN trades closer to $820, I’m pulling out some puts.

My $ACM idea gapped up at the open and faded, which means I have weeks until I can get an entry into this stock. Therefore, next earnings play I am watching is $JEC.

Again…if I get a gap down, I’m a buyer.

    Taking bets on which happens first:

    OA gets his AMZN fill.

    SHLD actually goes bankrupt.

    Balls of steel man! I wish you the best.

    To me, shorting AMZN is like trading DRYS. You just don’t fuck with it.

      Pulling the pin on a hand grenade is usually the first step in destroying your enemies.

        Possibly, provided you do not drop after counting to 3. I see the 820 Mark on chart. Also see this ripping to 830. This trade would require loose stops, but can be really profitable. Looking like $NDX running out of gas today.

    OA – What’s your time duration for the AMZN trade? Are you going a 3-4 months out? Also spread or naked?

    PnF counts are uncanny and don’t lie.

      I’m not questioning that. I said the same at Dow 15k. It’s completely unacceptable to show up at Dow 20k as a bull calling for 24k. Especially since you rode the bear call up most of the way.

      I would have kept that all to myself. Just saying.

    Unacceptable? Sorry to screwed up your timely contrarian indicator. Or maybe…I’m top-ticking this market, and I’m still as reliable as ever.?

    For the haters/rubbish up here, I kindly refer you to an OA headline called “BIGGER THAN THE BELLS THAT RING IN YOUR CHURCH.” Google machine will expand on that for you, if you’re not too retarded to use Google.

    Jeez.. OA won’t be shorting it to ZERO.. 820 is resistance so if it presses thru and then fails it’s a good opportunistic short. No biggie.

    IWM right off the bottom of the range, I wonder if it sticks.

    This whole pattern/range reminds me of early-mid September. Holding my IWM puts and TLT calls.

    Like the AMZN short. Everyone I know says to buy AMZN which makes it even more compelling a la capsized boat slide from boot camp
