I bought some more MSFT in early January, I think, at $215/share. Not as much as before but probably third largest holding.

Still holding your sharres?

No better time than now for a high probability downside trade. ACHR Feb 21 $8 puts.



This is an ending diagonal reversal, what I view as the most probable trade available. But, as always, nothing is guaranteed. This is all or nothing as by the time invalidates, puts won't be worth much. Assess your risk with your sizing, not your stop, when playing options setup like this.

Min target is $7.25 and max target $6.30. Should return 2x-6x.

NVDA's tip peeking through again.

Back to personal all-time highs thanks to buying the dip on SOXL heavily.

My oil stocks are getting ate up this morning.. CVX, XOM, COP, OXY, OKE, PAA, ET, EPD.

I'm feeling the pain.

---

oh, woe is me on the ET and EPD lol

I have family members loaded to the gills in those 2 since the COVID drop in March 2020 and have to hear them talk about those constantly

Those two have been very nice. PAA as well.

oil has been a bust for a year now (especially the supers). what's your strategy?

Anyone playing AAPL earnings?

I bought a handful of puts for today in case we didn't get a good result. So far, looks like the upside far offsets the cost of those puts.

---

It lost its pre-market steam and the covered calls I sold are all nicely in the red.

It's all long term holds under the assumption we need energy. We can fumble around all the other methods of producing that energy, but at the end of the day there is more energy in a drop of oil than any other thing, and when push comes to shove AI and Data will win out over the environmentalist.

Also, companies like XOM are on the cutting edge of everything. So if there is a move away from O&G because it makes logical sense, XOM will be one of the first there.

JBLU support is high $6's if it gets below this area. Ugly morning for longs. But can still attack $9 area if can hold.

---

Hit 5.95

---

I'm just honoring my stop at 5.85

What a gut punch

---

I ended up scooping up the shares you sold at 5.85. JBLU is now at 6.85. If I sell now, I can buy a few cases of beer this weekend.

I love the buy high, sell low strategy with my big oil stocks...has seemed to work beautifully over the past 2.5 years

yeah, I had a good run with CVX & XOM since Covid. Just got sick of watching them languish.

I'll probably get back in at some point. Not a great time in the cycle.

I hear ya... ET, EPD, PAA have had nice runs lately, and I like my APD stock this past year. COP, CVX, XOM have been a banger. And I hate Oxy is what I've arrived at lol

I have a 2/28 XOM call right now, wish I didn't.

yeah, the pipeline stocks are the only ones I kept. Somewhat irrational, but love the sweet dividend.

Diggity said:

I have had XOM for years. I'm 68 now so holding for the dividends and some growth. OXY and DINO are new and will be fairly short term investments (2026).
ET is also new but will keep for dividends.

None of those 3 are large holdings.

EPD is my largest holding and I've had that since 2009. My kids will inherit that, as well as XOM, some day.

EDIT: EPD is in my SEP/IRA so whether my kids inherit any EPD depends on how long I live. AND how much money I pizz off!!!

we are in a complete and utter risk on environment right now...all the money is flowing into mega caps and ultra growthy names...when this little musical chairs game ends, I have a feeling value, energy, financials, etc can step in and provide some nice returns...but until then, it's just ride this megacap/tech run until otherwise...and full disclosure, I'm not positioned there currently...so missing some of these insane rips...oh well, I got my divys and TLT

I love my dividends lol

Have you looked at GOF? Trying to get someone elses opinion on this thing. I don't want to sell it, but it is at a 27% premium. Can't find anything with that kind of dividend return.

Take it for a ride for me.

It got as low as 5.75 on that drop and at this point I don't have the stomach to test it again.

Should have sold at $8! You live and you learn

Very nice! I sold my DINO about a week ago. Watching it for now.

Wasn't familiar with that one.

Looks like a pretty complex leveraged fixed income product. That stuff is way over my head. Can't argue with the returns if you can stomach the risk.

Financials will get crushed when the extend and pretend for CRE ends and they M2M their bond losses.

There is more leverage in this market than ever. Brokers are protecting themselves. Would recommend playing it without margin.
