How do you see things setting up MF?

I also for the life of me am still shocked they haven't added turner sports. Can't watch Caruso on the nba on tnt.

I'm interested in getting into cybersecurity and with earnings a week from today, curious if any of yall have opinions on $CTEK.

Up 43% YOY but still down 58% from its 2020 highs.

It wasn't a loss if you didn't sell....

Thats what I call it as well. I didn't have stop losses today I just stopped some gains.

I haven't paid too much attention this week with Spring Break and all, but quick look, and yep, looks about right for an OPEX week.

I could see another red day tomorrow if we don't hold this next level of support in the morning. If we hold and bounce by 10 am, I think we end up finishing the day in the mid 390s on SPY, say 395-396.

Wouldn't it be something if we never hit 4K, and this week was the high. I think it's certainly possible. Everyone seems to think 4K is a foregone conclusion, so we all know what that means..... in the words of 30K, everyone feeling super bullish still?

Amen to that brother, no panic here.

For all that are in $ASO. Last time they had an earnings call (December) the stock ripped, yesterday was bonus day at Academy's hq and if that's any indication then this earnings call will be very positive (no surprise).

Not a genius but in short you are absolutely correct in that Equities DO NOT LIKE Rising rates. And to that you have the Bond guys thinking the Fed is taking their eye of the ball... Economy getting better rapidly... Inflation developing... And premium for the long end going up... Fed is only controlling the short end for now...There are other factors involved as well but free money and a weak Fed don't help...

---

And if yields keep rising....
I've seen a lot of talk about rates will only go up a little and then settle out.
From a % standpoint they've risen a lot quickly even though historical they are still very low. What are indicators it will level out?
Or wise to assume it'll keep rising until around 2% and then .maybe fed will act.
At this rate it'll be there really soon

Y'all completely F'd up my portfolio today. You deserve nothing.

But I'll dangle a carrot from Tulum.

Five-figure loss day, fun times. Shouldn't have checked, on vacation. Drinking intensifying, LOL.

This is an introduction to what a bear market will be like. I'm not saying we're in bear market but, this time is a taste of what it will be like. Throwing darts and stocks going up doesn't happen during a bear market. Refine your craft and DD to make more focused entrances and exits. JMO

I still think we are going up until May or so.

Feeling sort of happy.

I have been trapped in June 17.50 MGNI calls for a while, not much credit to roll to Sep, almost no extrinsic left that deep ITM.

Every day I log into that account and set a buy-write to sell my shares and buy the call back for $17 credit.

Finally after more than a month, some idiot bought it for $17, a $0.50 discount vs waiting until end of June. I'd happily trade $0.50 per share to get my shares sold now rather than 3 months away.

Do you really believe that's what happened?

I mean, I don't really care if it was a market maker or some other retail investor.

Just that I closed an unfavorable position with a wide bid-ask spread for a 2.8% discount 3 months from expiration.

I don't care who took the other side of the trade, I'm pretty happy.

AggieDaniel!

Since you're posting. Thoughts please!

Someone here or on another thread hinted that ASO's earnings would be great. Lots of Ags at their HQ so I'm sure some already know. Unsure how well it'll do given other earnings reactions but retail might be better off. March 30 feels like a long way though.

I also think a lot of RH traders got blown up this week. Notice the lack of gloating on Twitter?

---

The last several weeks. The twitter mob has sure died down since those few stocks went into orbit. Have a feeling there are a lot of social media warriors stranded at the top.

Seems like a lot of the big pumpers retreated behind paywalls as the market got choppy and someone got investigated by the SEC.

OA1-
Tracking your $UPWK calls. You initially had $1.05 stops on these which makes sense in my elementary mind. However, the note about $UPWK calls great at any price is confusing me since they closed at 1.10, just .05 above stop. Are you inferring the reduce or remove the stop?
