Not seeing it on my app, but I thought that they did. Oh well. Still trying to decide what to do with my CELG capital I freed up.

$26 BAC 20 cents or better to next Friday would be worthwhile risk

Anatomy of a short squeeze folks. We are squeezing hard right now so a Monday pullback begins to look likely as this continues on momentum.

BUY. THE. DIPS.

In my younger days I would sit on my hands watching the flash downs and then watch equally as stocks squeezed higher. The hardest thing to do for a ton of traders is pull the trigger when everyone is saying its doomsday.

I've been following this thread for a while and really appreciate the insight here. I'm fairly new to investing and looking for a place to get started -- any books, websites, podcasts, etc. that you (or anyone else here) would recommend to get started on trading and options? Thanks!
Hi Bill

This was one of the first books I read. These will begin to get you into the sense of wallstreet, although a lot of the first book didn't have insight into all of the technology, but its good starting points.


https://www.amazon.com/Market-Wizards-Jack-D-Schwager/dp/0887306101/ref=asc_df_0887306101/?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid={creative}&hvpos={adposition}&hvnetw=o&hvrand={random}&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=e&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl={devicemodel}&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4583795260829447&psc=1

The follow on book was worthwhile too:

Seeing several services now posting call option alerts to enter ROKU $35 target strikes.

Sheesh talking about being behind the curve. I wouldn't enter a call on it after the pop. Yeah it likely gets there on momentum but that's as bad as the downgrades today on ALGN - which by the way paid off a net $2.40/share after the $1.80/share hedge.

Noob question here... what situations (besides ex-div) would it take to get exercised early?

Take for example my TROX190118C7 covered call which is now both ITM and (sadly) above my break-even. If I was on the other side of the coin, my simple mind would have exercised early and done something with it on a day like today (either sell outright or sell another call) - what am I missing?

I suspect it will be positive. He will brag about the jobs number, Fed backing off of future fast rate hikes and trade talks with China next week. If I were betting, it would help the market by scaring the shorts even more before the weekend.

Not likely to get exercised early but it really doesn't matter because it most definitely will be. No way a stock that ranged down there and then broke out will retrace back to its range. What happens is the buyer of that call sells the option to someone else and so on and so on. That is 99% of how options are handled.

Will take 2525 to see BAC run to $27+

Lot of shorts on that sucker fighting tooth and nail hoping this isn't a trend reversal move.


OA, why is a good exit point? I have made 45% ROI, should I take my money and run or do you think it will go a lot higher?

Oh the markets lulled some top looking short sellers in on people profit taking and worried that we had topped and is smacking them in the face. Bear market rips and short seller traps have no mercy.

Its on a technical breakout but after a day like today its a coin toss on pull back versus continued short squeezing. I think it reaches over $27.50 and you have time. You gotta look at capital gains as well. Are you cool with selling today and hoping for a pullback to net above an additional capital gains hit? These are the decisions.

The downside is that we left a gap on NFLX at 275 today...wouldn't mind trying to retrace and close that quickly as I really don't want it to come back down here any time soon

And we have ZERO upside gaps on the S&P. Flying blind on the gap analysis upward.

Another enormous volume-price bar today on Powell's feather growth. Turning into a real dove. 30 points in 12 minutes.

Hopefully consolidating on top for 2520 area for a gap up weekend.
