THE GAP UP GANG NOW UNDER PRESSURE

Strategically, I refuse to buy into the gap and go days we saw on Monday.  Any market setup like that with the crowd relatively ‘engaged’ makes the pain trade + lower.

Now that current prices have knocked out Monday’s range, I’m eager to buy. In essence a wasted week like this can be an opportunity if you end the week with longs getting stopped out and ending the week flat, or with low exposure like they did on Friday.

I still like semiconductors and software stocks. $SMH is setting up for a big move…and the software stocks I mentioned last week are on the 52week high lists this week. I’m interested in $SWKS, $MCHP, $TTD, $FFIV, $EVBG.

More later,

OA

    Balls of steel to take an entry here. Granted history is more than on your side, but the headlines too much for me right now.

      With a month in between creative and witty comments, I’d hoped for more.

      But since you suck dick at everything else, I suppose I’m not surprised.

      Funny, we had a good laugh earlier this week in memory of your hysterical mic drop moment.

    Is it just me or is the comments section dead lately? Low site traffic?

    Just curious what you see in the SMH chart that looks so good. What are you looking for to go long? Been keeping my eye on SOXL

    Seems like gold miners are ripe to short. Couldn’t even go up on a day like this.

    Loved the setup in NTNX, the late day pullback helped me get long some Sep 22.50’s at a decent price. Added back some AAPL calls I let go of prior to earnings and picked up a SVXY call spread for next Friday. Feeling pretty confident tonight, not so sure that’s a good thing

      Crap – wasn’t stopped out. Had $10.50 stop and opened at $10.50 and continued down and didn’t get hit.
