I'm looking @ the 5/24 $22.5 puts. Cheap gamble for earnings with enough time to include further market weakness due to geo-political events and selling for summer.

Futures look like garbage for the open. I raised cash today though so anything that looks promising to you, please share.
Well, if those futures hold you'd likely see DE flash below the Darvis Box premarket. Be a good buy looking for it to quickly move back above it. For options you'd wait for open and the second its back above $155.25 and enter.


How far out would you look on the options with earnings next week?


Lot of risk to enter before China talks outcome. Support lines and Darcie Box breaks to the downside will precipitate on a failed negotiation. It's probably a weekly option $157.50 day trade vs the super high risk trade talk options past earnings date; especially if talks fail. You'd lose at least 50% before batting an eye.

Sure, if talks have success you'd also make 200%+ but it's a casino market right now. I'll maybe trade a weekly cheap call as a $5 ante but I'm sidelined for the duration.

We won't get to enter a bottom portion of a v if news hits after hours but we have a nice left side to climb Non-fundamental non-technical macro events suck because of the above. You can't develop a software to read minds.

Here's my thinking.

If talks fail how much expectation of that has already been baked in with stocks dropping?

As long as a trade war isn't erupting as part of a no-deal wall away how do markets respond knowing they hate uncertainty?

If a trade war does happen just what level of escalation will we see?

MU is looking REALLY attractive. What's a target price to go long shares, not options?

OSTK misses on estimate loss but revs higher. See if mixed bag holds through forward guidance. Just need it to hang above $11.50 and below $13 through Friday to collect the covered call premium.

I sold puts a few weeks ago and got an entry around $42 for a medium/long hold. May sell some more of it stays down here after I free some cash up

20 points away. REMEMBER the gap fill does not signal entry point it is simply a magnet within range. Markets can overrun it but we're already seeing some stocks giving up and failing, so its all very difficult to read until you see it real time and respond.

Unless it rolls over and ends up neutral or even negative.

SMH has two good gaps $105-$107 area.

Link to WSJ Article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/why-china-decided-to-play-hardball-in-trade-talks-11557358715?mod=rsswn

"The new hard line taken by China in trade talkssurprising the White House and threatening to derail negotiationscame after Beijing interpreted recent statements and actions by President Trump as a sign the U.S. was ready to make concessions, said people familiar with the thinking of the Chinese side.

The hardened battle lines were prompted by Beijing's decision to take a more aggressive stance in negotiations, according to the people following the talks. They said Beijing was emboldened by the perception that the U.S. was ready to compromise.

"Why would you be constantly asking the Fed to lower rates if your economy is not turning weak," said Mei Xinyu, an analyst at a think tank affiliated with China's Commerce Ministry. If the U.S.'s resolve was weakening, the thinking in Beijing went, the U.S. would be more willing to cut a deal, even if Beijing hardened its positions."

The Chinese misread the situation...why the hell would a country that refuses to negotiate with terrorists and having an incredible economic boom become willing to cut a deal and compromise?

Honestly, lets just give them our list of demands and increase the tariffs to 25% on the total $500B worth of goods and just let them suffer till they are willing to sign our deal.

I picked up an INTC put before close yesterday after the lowered guidance. It's down 1.50 from close - should I sell my put immediately at open or hold for a while? I can't imagine they have a green day today but don't want to get greedy when I should be up around 80%.

DISCLAIMER REPEAT - ALL TECHNICAL ANALYSIS LITERALLY "TRUMPED" BY TRADE NEGOTIATION OUTCOME

IWM. It gave up the ghost on support and failed down hear premarket. Hit a volume V. This would be a technical buy signal if not for macro events, yet something to note. See other examples yellow boxed.

Would be great except for a pesky little event looming in about 18 months. And China knows it. Who will be able to play chicken the longest?

It's just impossible to read. INTC losing that support could give bears escape and bulls incentive to flood in or it could be toast. Big down opening might melt down more but as a rule I tend to take a gift one day profit of that size.

Intc has a decent problem missing a technology node. Fortunately they have a ton of cash, so they'll figure it out.. But not without a temporary loss

Because there's a lot of downside for the US too. Tariffs nearly 100% of the time harm the home economy more than the target. Most econ estimates are predicting a 25% across the board hike would cut GDP growth in half. Yikes.

Edit: Lighthizer is calling representatives telling them tariffs are going up Friday. But they're still meeting today....
