3021.74 S&P.....pressing closer

Shorts are trying all they can to hold JD down. It blows and you will see $40 on it fairly quickly

Call me crazy, but I took a nibble on MDR 10/18 $2 calls.

I'd pay the extra 10% premium for the 11/18

You're crazy. Restructuring coming their way. Good luck

Taking 75% of FSLR off the table.

100% taken off of smaller accounts

LOL, love it

but when he plays golf, great things happen. I remember COOP

Dang. Sold my JD position yesterday and kept my zs

Too late for an OSTK entry?

Ostk in the green. Let's go baby

Not at all. 15 was better obviously, but it was 28$ a few days ago before the shorts got a hold of it

Posted before and nothing has changed. JD is my largest holding. That said, see strategy on testing $33 multiple posts.

You get a challenge to resistance, on a Thursday especially, you buy the $31.50 Puts on the super cheap insurance. I almost hope it fails back below $31 so I pocket 50 cent per share+ on those each wave until she finally breaks out.

So my dad owns quite a bit of AT&T stock that he accumulated over his 38 years there prior to retirement and loves the 6% dividend. He's at the point of debating what he should do with it. He certainly has blinders on as he wants to keep buying T stock, but he can liquidate at any time and reinvest in other stocks.

If anyone had a good article he could read to get more information, I know he'd appreciate it. I saw this morning they are considering selling directTV, so sent that to him to read.

Thanks OA! Sold off some of my REIT and joined back in on JD and bought a few puts for insurance

I think there are quite a few of us "old folks" that have the old Bell stocks that rolled into AT&T.

I've considered cashing out, but never really had the desire or need. It's like a piggy bank that pays better than a regular bank.

FOMO got me

Back in OSTK for first time since I rode its first wave up..$16 let's ride

I'm with you. 16.02. Gahhhh, I hate myself sometimes. This stock is like a drug.

I would say I would not count on T for any kind of capital gains. They will reduce leverage and always keep increasing the dividend, but management has absolutely wrecked shareholder value with the DirectTV acquisition and since they are incompetent, probably the Time Warner integration as well. It's a huge Bismarck battleship that at this point is what it is and can't be turned around. There's a reason Elliott wants them to divest assets and get leaner.

If we crash and burn Atleast we can say we weren't one of the $28 guys

Lots of volume on NVDA $180 calls for tomorrow. Looks like they're expecting MU to push the sector.

You aren't kidding

ZS

I tried to put a stop limit order in this morning to sell the ZS shares I bought a couple days ago. I accidentally put a buy order in, which obviously filled immediately because my limit was higher than the current price. So now I have double the shares. And it started dropping immediately.

I wish I had just sold it all right when I realized the mistake. But I set a stop limit sell for all of the shares, and it was never reached.

Guess I'll ride it out for a while to see if it can eventually get up to the $53 neighborhood.

What happened with it?!?!?

Guess I'll hop in on the OSTK fun with some cash I had on the sidelines...also went net free on the X puts and the short term SFIX puts are working too

When do you sell the puts? Up 104% already

Go net free if you think there is more room. But net free is always a good rule of thumb

Done! Hard to beat free

T has the longest Darvis Box in the history of the stock exchange (That's a monthly chart since 2001. Recent trend you can see has been to bounce off Model T midline but $45 is the Holy Grail. As long as you dad is happy at 6% knowing that the stock likely will revert back down dropping $15-20 go for it. If I had T I would hope this current move showing on the monthly chart pasted trends at least up above $40. I'd get out of dodge and then see if it breaks $45, having captured the meat of the Darvis Box.

And they're doubled again

At least the GASX pill I took on Tuesday is providing some relief for me.

NFLX barely hanging on to support around $283

We came with half of a point from filling the gap from yesterday. Sharp bounce off of that but that upper resistance band stinks. Need 3017 to get broken for another bite at the apple
