Made a quick $500 on AAPL 9/4 115p. Probably could have been more but I don't feel like sitting here and watching it all day.
Thanks and thanks for the help. It isn't a lot of $ but making money on any options trade, I'll take it.
Double down, Long term growth says we only go up

I honestly don't know much past that, so I'm hoping someone else here can expand on their significance.
Y'all need to keep in mind you don't have to trade every day. If the value isn't there, just sit on your hands. These are days where it's OK to say "Nope. I'm gonna go to the gym instead". I don't think many in here have truly traded during a correction and people can get killed and accounts blown up. Just wait. There will be opportunity to come.
So what about buy and holders like myself ? Just not look at my accounts and keep throwing money at it ? When do I man up and take an L

Etrade is slow AF right now
ALMOST opened a 344 straddle. Would have paid 100% at the moment.
How far can aapl realistically drop today?
Man I get off the sidelines in QB, MBIO, MGNI, ONTX and get crushed. Figures.

Two painful lessons I've learned this week, learn from me. (Many of you will laugh at me for these, but hey, share and learn is better than learning alone).
1) When VIX is rising WITH the Indicies, this is a bearish divergence that you HAVE TO pay attention to. It's worth taking some risk off when this appears.
2) DO NOT TAKE RISK OFF ON HEDGES. I screwed myself by capping myself by taking risk off on SPY puts yesterday. Had I not converted these puts to small put spreads I'd have saved myself SEVERAL percentage points. I try to be risk averse, and this cost me big yesterday. Let your hedges run or fail. They're there for a reason.

Getting smoked too. At least it's in my retirement account, I guess.
It's amazing to think one year ago we were racing towards the first Trillion dollar company. And now it sits at 2T.Jet Black said:

Depends on what was in your account. Were you buying tech at the highs the last couple months? Are they blue blood dividend stocks? Too many unknowns to give you an answer. If it was random tech that just went along for the ride, I'd dump it. If it is a blue blood, I'd look to add more at the next major support as long as it holds.hedge said:

Yes, I learned to let the hedges run. Hurt me big time by taking profit on them and then watching my account tank further but now with no hedges in place.

Has anyone checked in on Portnoy?
Some perspective on number 2. I bought 355puts at .90 each a few days ago. Those are worth 18.53 right now. Huge account saver but I got stupid thinking I'd take some gains and lock them in.McInnis 03 said:

Time to buy some TSLA for me
I bought some more QQQ and AAPL today as soon as I had both in the red. (Jumped in on both last month.)
Alas, pulled the trigger too early. Should've waited. Ah well.
Still like these for long-term holds.

ONTX at .19 cents now. Sure I'll buy more

You'd think. I know tech was the first causality today, but the rest pretty much followed....
If so should we expect an overall red day for the market but a small green day for financials, energy, consumer discr/staples, and health care?
ARKK and ARKW are 15% off over the past two days. If it gets to 18%, I'm buying them all back
Exact same issues I had this week. My cut was to take profits earlier and be happy and others I should have closed faster and taken the loss. FOMO F'ed meMcInnis 03 said:

Brutal selloff but the gap filled so some value buying here makes sense.

OA, what do you think is really badly oversold right now? For us longer simple traders just to hold and watch for a while?
Number 1 is exactly why I was nervous on Wednesday, so I thinned out my winners, dumped my losers and bought a 9/9 SPY 356P.McInnis 03 said:Some perspective on number 2.

Number 2 is exactly why I shouldn't have sold the 356P for 150% gain on Thursday, I could have sold it today for 20x. A win is a win, even when everything else is a loss.
Incredible, best day ever. I held spy puts and vxx calls overnight... I cashed out of 348P's and VXX calls (all today exp). Will see if I can add a hedge for next week on a rip back up this afternoon.
Also, adding a spy call (out a month) here as a cheap winner. We may drop a little more, but won't matter much.
