I know. I've only read a few pages and never commented on it. The hysteria of some people is too much to take.

punching through all time highs after hours it looks like! wish I owned some.

IBIO is an interesting one as well - they're working on a vaccine, they even have a facility here in Aggieland. They built it in 2010 with the sole purpose of a fast vaccine (FastPharming, their term), with funding from DARPA (part of the defense department).

The last time DIS was this cheap... it went on a tear to 141 in 5 weeks. Granted it started that tear at 107 (and disney plus I think was the catalyst). That was 11 months ago

After 107, you have to go all the way back to 2016 to get to $90. I know covid is scaring investors, but dayum that's a long way to fall! and will be a heck of a bargain.

and on ROKU, what happened to the, "We're all going to be avoiding the zombie apocalypse by watching tv and using our roku devices?"

This thread has taken quite the emotional turn. Not a good look for traders.

Also, where tf did all the engineer hate come from across the board? I bet a large % on here have a technical background.

Fair requests.

I usually only frequent the thread when things are getting interesting to bounce thoughts and gauge sentiment. Day to say I run a long short low frequency systematic strategy In futures with trade duration avg around 120mins. I'm 60/40 long short over the past 2 years.

I've only made suggestions here when I have high confidence in a more macro move that this thread trades and it looks like no one is quite ready for that direction, which is usually short.

I'll share some intraday high probability set ups when I can.

Which companies thrive if people are sheltered for a month?
Netflix subscriptions?
Video games?
And is also a good company once this passes?

Thanks for recently following me! (I think it was just the hat)

Here's my thoughts as of last Saturday on this week.



They have slightly changed as the week has gone on. I believe we are at this level in 1998-esque trading. I wasn't double digits years old then but understand there was a financial crisis in Russia. Imo, the extreme responses of the governments to prevent the spread of COVID (By shutting down cities) could be far more detrimental than Russia financial crisis.

My thoughts have been developing all week and agree that we test lows tomorrow.

No idea if we are in "98" or "00" tho.

Sold my June crude 46 put at 4.44. Big red candle down while I was at dinner, decided to get out. Left some cash on the table. Oh well.

We may get that "flush" at the open that we're looking for, right OA.

Honestly I think you've been more insightful since the last time I was critical of your posting, for what it's worth.

Since I got on your case before, I feel I should come out and say this as well.

Thanks for sharing. I have them saved to get in once the dust settles to go long for retirement portfolio. No clue when that is, but not this week.

IF we get a flush to 2850 today, I have a 50 wide butterfly I put on for a BUCK two days ago. I've got a limit order at 35 as I'm on a plane till 9. Turn $100 into $5000? We shall see. Sometimes I don't close these until late in the day for a pin!

Buy a call side for a cheaper spread with 1 day expiration to stay in the game.

Spreads continue to be the big winners. Total for a spread $4000-$4200. SPY down $10 = $5.80 to $6+ net per share win. Buy shares against $298 Puts would be $7/share profit.

Anyone watching the minute chart on SPY:? That was weiredly crazy. Popped to $293.50 and then went a full 6 seconds without a trade. No buyers at all so the sellers quickly took it back below $293. Either a shakeout or this will melt.

With this morning gap down, today's value is to the upside I think. Shorting after a 3% gap down just doesn't seem like the value. Remember what happened last Friday the end of the day.

Futures did NOTHING on that jobs report. Bears are in full swing right now, before a weekend, USA is getting virus action at higher levels, today doesn't smell good from an emotional standpoint. People may want to hold some cash over the weekend, may be a good day for me to start learning how to apply the vertical spreads with a bearish mentality.

Plan is scalp open long if there's a surge. Then short to below the AH low. Short pending some post open stats

If surge down at open, limit down rules may come into play today.
