bought shares, sold at the money calls against a portion for a synthetic $81 entry just needs to close over 132BREwmaster said:
ROKU - are you shoppers of it, still eyeing $125? I'm tempted to sell here before options Friday (assuming MM's drag it down again tomorrow).
Same. Have a feeling AMZN disappoints, and even if they don't they'd have to really crush it to affect GOOGL that much. I got 25% return, but not much to write home about $ wise. Also, if AMZN does well, my shares in my IRA will take away some of the sting out of missing out on this.Shiner Bock said:chicken'd out on these, sold all for 9% profit... likely to regretShiner Bock said:i saw the same and bought a few of the 1290's at .25 for a lottokhkman22 said:
Went in on some lotto GOOGL 10/25 1275c. Got in at $0.60. Hoping for AMZN earnings to lead the way on this. This was based off of Manic Trading's 1290c tweet earlier this morning. Maybe if I'm lucky it'll run a little into close and I can be net free and hold 1/2 for tomorrow.

Been crazy in the real world. Nothing new so far. Markets bumping up against resistance and now wait to see if AMZN sends us on a wave down or markets use any selling to flip the script. I bought TVIX and if we breakout I'll add equal share amounts each $0.75 lower. Right at all-time lows, so breakout or its gonna bounce.
NET found support
ZS - Good grief that stock hopefully found support
AMZN had insider knowledge of what was going on because the shares haven't budged during the market upswing. Very telling.
JPM paid in full on the calls
CX - now they missed by .01 billion bringing in $3.6 Billion for the quarter. The chart is almost identical to SUM when they had missed their quarter. Buy it like it's gold in my opinion.
Can we get a "COOP WHOOP" - Need to find time to golf more....apparently
Something has happened to my algorithms. I took a nearly 7 figure bath on some holdings that went contrary to everything that had always been solid. I posted concern over a hedge fund "peeking" in and am looking into that as a potential outlier. For that reason I'm sticking more to Large cap high volume stocks for the time-being. JPM was a test of that and it held true.
JD - Nothings gonna happened without China deal, and that looks like its going to be an election decision. Granted if macro markets explode it likely busts out but it can't even get to $32 this retest of market highs.
RTN brokeout from major resistance.
Been accumulating ACB...mainly 2022 $4 Leaps.
But it's already grown their revenue.IrishTxAggie said:
I think AMZN is an AMZN problem. Not general market. Their computing services missed big and their cost from the 1-day shipping is eating them
Yeah...you want to establish a position and then on any consolidation days add some and if you get a 15%+ move higher on consolidation you look at volume and if it's big you hang on...if its in line with last 10 days I sell the extra buys and do it again.Shiner Bock said:
How do you play leaps? Just buy here and there on down days since so much time to expiration?
Oh it definitely is, which is why it's ignored the broader market rise. Couldn't even break $1800 where it had hit $1850 on similar market wave. And zero breakout back towards retesting $2000's. Be careful on it because money flow has been going red and it could really sink.IrishTxAggie said:

Several services had alerts today. Average was to buy the Nov 8 $255's for $1.70 with a $4 targetkhkman22 said:
Anybody have thoughts on AAPL for earnings next week? Was thinking about some $250 11/15 or $245 11/8 calls. I'm hoping their guidance for those signing up for Apple Arcade and Apple TV+, along with forecasting users due to the new device purchases (even though those are free for a year) will give them a boost, even if earnings don't crush expectations.
It grew their revenue, but at what cost? The economics of the next day shipping is what cost them. The plan is awesome. It's just not cost effective...yet.docaggie said:But it's already grown their revenue.IrishTxAggie said:

I know that I now preferentially buy things that are next day free delivery.
Why bother planning a Target / Lowes run when it can be waiting on my doorstep the next day
I'm planning to buy more at this level in my retirement account.

Head and shoulder just completing. Need to see rejection of that for decision.YNWA_AG said:
Thoughts on SE if you have time. Irish mentioned it due to money flowing into 12/20 calls
I do. I still have it. I enjoy it because it gives me an idea of where the money is going. You have to make up your own mind as to what to do. It doesn't give recommendations or anything. It's worth it to me. It's already paid for itself multiple times over.leoj said:
Irish, didn't you have a cheddarflow account? Has it been worth it, just curious.
OA1 - does this same logic apply to DIS? Seems like overwhelmingly positive public perception of DIS+ and future expectations but no where near its high on this market wave.oldarmy1 said:Oh it definitely is, which is why it's ignored the broader market rise.

There has to be a "zero" point on DIS, as in, where do Disney+ subscriptions start? Once they have a starting point, growth rates can be applied and financial projections can be added. I think you see a huge jump up when initial subscriber numbers are announced because future revenue can be projected.BenRev09 said:OA1 - does this same logic apply to DIS?
