There's a good chance it's a poster following this thread...

I saw that too and wondered if some poor Texagger got overly excited reading the thread!

Picked up some DBX and TWTR right before close today. Hoping to offset some unrealized MU losses over the next few weeks.

TWTR scares me, I'd pick up ROKU on a pullback. I added DBX also today.

I bought some more IQ and started doing covered calls. If someone wants to pay me to let them gamble like a moron, I'll allow it.

TWTR scares me too. I think they are losing daily users but it's tough to tell exactly what's happening because they have bot accounts and ghost accounts.

I picked up DBX a week ago @28.00 could have sold yesterday at 34+, but holding thinking it has some good run ahead. What is your exit price?

Depends on your time frame. I believe it prints a trade at 38 within 4 weeks, after the lock up period and the sellers get flushed out. JMO.

TWTR's platform and business model doesn't allow for any missteps and the stock will be punished severely. I also believe they will lose more users than they will be able add.

Yep, I'm just hoping it can get back to where I bought in around 40 so I can make most of my money back and call it a day. Lost that gamble in waiting on earnings and got burned

Oh well, live and learn

I wish you luck my friend but I don't know enough to offer any advice. I've never traded it.

I'm long now so I'm just hoping for a gradual move up, nothing technical about it at this point, so some luck would always help too!

Anyone following Clovis Onc CLVS? This stock has taken a beating this year, down over 50% YTD. It just started enrolling patients for a combo trail with BMS Opdivo. Wonder the prospects of a turnaround in price for CLVS in the near term?

Ranger this may be in your wheelhouse.

I bought OCX. Liquid biopsy screening. That just sounds right.

Looks like I will be called out on 400 shares of roku @$55. Still holding 1200. It's been a good week.

---

Awesome! Yes it was a big week and now virtually bulletproof into next week. Looking for swing trade entries. If we wave on down Monday thats fine.

I also decided to add to BBOX long term holdings. That's me sitting at the bid after hours as well.

I added several lots today and have another 20% to buy. I might wait and risk catching it on the breakout above $1.55. Reason being if the sale of their government unit doesn't close by months end there will almost assuredly be some selloff.

If it closes you will know it before the news breaks by stock action.

---

update: I did get called out. Now have $22k to work with cash in my ROTH. Looking for that next opportunity.

NKTR

Like a Jaguar on the prowl its a waiting game fir a bottom reversal to get easy rubber band trades. Futures off triple DOW digits and double S&P.

Ideally, I'm looking for s&p futures (/es) around 2810 level area based on fibs and some potential chart support but would be kind of surprised to see it get that low.

I could really use some nice earnings from JD and WMT. Especially interested in JD to see if it can take off like so many of us think

I went long at 30 and a 2 days later it went to 40. Part of me thinks I caused that rally because that has never happened to me so quickly after purchasing a stock

There are a crap ton of large companies that use dbx. They're just now starting to monetize their service while adding customers. This thing reminds me of Netflix.

Whoever it was that placed the covered call on FDC...well done. They announced a secondary share offering that will bring it down and pause any upward movement for a period.

Morning Gentlemen -

I have a question that the brainpower on this board could help answer. My fantasy football league has decided to invest the buy-in until NFL playoffs. With that said, instead of saying 1st wins $500, etc. etc., we are saying 1st - 60%, 2nd- 30%, 3rd- 10%, with the hope that the buy-in will grow over the next 4-5 months.

What would be your #1 stock recommendation to invest this amount (~$700)? We would rather the stock be in the lower range ($5-$30) that way we could acquire more shares. And to throw it out there, the group understands that it could decrease to $0 as quick as it could double. But, with that said, hoping for a stock where the collective group is bullish on.

TIA!

Have you ever heard of MoviePass???

So that double top prior to earnings was a good signal. Now what to do with 50 remaining $385 puts expiring Friday. Take the money and run? Or take the money on 30 and execute short position on 20?

JMO, according to the charts I follow, it has a chance of printing a trade in the 325-330 range this week.

Wells is the CFO, sorry I misread it when it hit. I still think it hits 325-330 though.

That would be ideal since I don't have to make a decision until Friday.

Surprised to see it come up a bit after opening a couple % points down

I've stayed away from the PARP inhibitor plays. TSRO is another popular play here along with CLVS. I know quite a few people who have been trying to "buy the dip" in both of these names for well over a year now. The price action speaks for itself. At one time these names were popular due to people thinking they would be buyout candidates from big pharma companies. When the buyouts never come, the price just steadily declines. I am by no means an expert here, but from my limited reading it seems the PARP inhibitors have lost their shine a little bit and the field has moved on to newer potential treatments. From my understanding, these inhibitors must be used in combos to have any value, and sometimes they show limited improvement when they are included vs not. I would read up on it though because I'm just reciting this from memory and may be completely wrong.

Good action in TWTR at the open. Weekly 31.5 calls bought at the open in size to go along with Aug 24 32.5 calls bought towards the end of last week. Hopefully this gets moving as I am currently underwater on some calls that expire on Friday -- looking for a short bounce back to 34s

JD trying to test that lower resistance line yet again

Earnings coming soon. Did you get a protective Put in place?

So talk me through this one...I see that I can buy a put to expire on Aug 17th (day after earnings) at a strike price of $33 for $0.32.

If JD tanks earnings and drops below $33, then I can exercise my put and make $x pending on how low it goes, but if they do well or stay flat, then the put would expire worthless and I basically just paid $32 (plus fees since I'm on Fidelity) as a protective hedge?

Would this be smart, or should I be more/less aggressive with the strike price?
