bears are so disappointing. they couldn't even push price below Friday's open.
Quote:
The bank that rules all banks the Bank for International Settlements ("BIS") altered the international accounting rules for gold. As a result, how gold and by extension, silver is traded could soon change significantly. Beginning Monday, allocated gold the actual physical metal held by banks in the European Union will become a Tier 1 asset, just like cash, elevated from Tier 3. In an allocated account, the customer's gold is set aside, tracked by unique serial numbers. The bank earns a small holding fee, but the customer retains ownership. Gold in unallocated accounts will remain a Tier 3 asset no longer considered an equal asset to gold itself. An 85% margin will now be required to cover unallocated gold accounts meaning there has to be 85 cents on hand to cover every dollar of "paper" gold lent out. Previously, banks were not required to back these unallocated trades at all.

I'm in the MU 7/2 C85 as an earnings play. Earnings report is Wednesday.$30,000 Millionaire said:

I played smaller on the calls given earnings. Chart looks great but earnings for me so far this year hasn't been the most memorable.$30,000 Millionaire said:
I don't normally hold through earnings, but I suppose it could be a blow out.

It won't surprise me to see a new ATH again today.$30,000 Millionaire said:

What did you do on these?GreasenUSA said:Quote:
Bought SQ 250C weekly
LOTTO size - 3.40 entry
EO got a pretty good entry on that one. I scalped it on a 3.39 entry. Waiting to see if we get a mid-day pullback.

But from a trading perspective I will rinse and repeat buying weekly puts at a high.....hopefully anyway.
Would like to see at least some weakness before buying hedge level puts.

I'm with you. Would love to 'time' (loosely typed) the top with hedges so we can make a killing on the way down.$30,000 Millionaire said:FJ43 said:It won't surprise me to see a new ATH again today.$30,000 Millionaire said:

The longer this goes without an 8ema touch the more powerful it will be when it goes down, I think.

Whats everyone's thoughts on the forbidden fruit thats in the $135 July calls.
All day battle going on around $135. Options are up 70ish%.
Im thinking without a clear break of $135 by the end of close Ill close out half of my position be close to net free and see what happens.
I was really really close to buying back in at 3.00 per contract, but I saw 2 strikes working against me; I don't like to enter trades during the lunch hour, and Q's and SPX were drooping. Sat on my hands. I'm over 1% on the day realized, and those haven't been easy to come by lately, so I'm happy to wait it out for a faster mover.FJ43 said:What did you do on these?GreasenUSA said:Quote:

I bought per above....sold then bought back on the dip. Riding wave 2 but needs NHOD to go I think.
I don't know if the above is factual. And, I don't know how large of a trading segment the unallocated gold accounts would represent. If this is true, it should be bearish near term for the unallocated accounts and then go bullish after the weak hands are culled out. Raising margin is generally bearish as leverage is reduced, volatility declines and the market adjusts afterward.AgShaun00 said:

I'm up 15% on round 2 but it needs a pop to move them. Will kill premium if not. May set a tight trail here to exit green if retraces again then watch to see what happens.GreasenUSA said:I was really really close to buying back in at 3.00 per contract, but I saw 2 strikes working against me; I don't like to enter trades during the lunch hour, and Q's and SPX were drooping.

Awesome! Yeah, at least it's still Monday though. Got some time. Would like to see a run to 250 by close.Quote:

You eyeballing the volume into close as an earnings preview or do you see something else?

It's like a word salad. So much to condense into a digestible presentation. I work through bits and pieces as I can. If you guys who made it to the one that had power outages and winter storms think it had value I would be ok with placing it on the Venmo.AG 2000' said:
OLDARMY1 - are you working on a new options presentation / video for release?
Been looking for that and feel I'm still struggling some with options and could really use some insight and knowledge.
TIA.
Lots of value. I watched this when I was a complete newb. I have watched again now that I understand a lot more and its way more eye opening and understandable.oldarmy1 said:It's like a word salad.
