Ugh.
Its like Friday never ended for me. Well, my account actually shot up like a rocket in premarket only to come crashing down once the market opened.Prognightmare said:
Looks like the shorts are in OSTK now.
I am thinking that may be a good idea. Wish I had sold some at the open.Prognightmare said:
If we go negative today, this will be a rough few weeks. I just sold some positions at a loss to raise cash and I'm parked on the sidelines.
Me too, that's why I'd rather take a smaller hit now than be wiped out on a major correction. Major cash position on 12/26/18 would have set you up for the year.spud1910 said:I am thinking that may be a good idea. Wish I had sold some at the open.Prognightmare said:

Smart play, I'll be getting into ROKU calls for Jan on a selloff.Ragoo said:
I am making a decent bet. Buying ROKU Jan 2020 120c. Synthetic long position thru their next earnings cycle.
yep, today wreaks of illegal shorting, garbage. It will bounce back as usual, I guess after the criminals get out.Prognightmare said:

I'm in 75% cash now. If I'm wrong I can always buy back but I'm going to wait for awhile. China "wants to start talking" means a deal isn't imminent and if yields inverse again I just don't see a catalyst to prevent a selloff. JMO, I'd rather sit in cash.
Depends if your trailing stops are set as limit or market sales. The former can get gapped and not execute. Market sales on options (particularly thinly traded ones) can result in a very bad fill.Trolley Problems said:Prognightmare said:

Would setting tight trailing stops on my long positions be effectively the same thing? Or do I risk them not kicking in if large moves happen AH?

What makes it a synthetic long, the fact they are ITM? Or did you mean $150?Ragoo said:

they are ITM, so I have only paid a $10 premium based on today's trading price for the 5 ish months I get to hold the options.khkman22 said:What makes it a synthetic long, the fact they are ITM? Or did you mean $150?Ragoo said:

Sounds like the call this morning regarding the future of the organization went rather poorly. No purchaser for retail, and an investor for tZERO pulled out.boyz05 said:

Not exactly how I read it. I think it went well and they reiterated "when" they sell retail, not if. There was also some negative news on OSTK by Fox News today. That sure was timely.Maximus_Meridius said:Sounds like the call this morning regarding the future of the organization went rather poorly.
