Dear Goodness GOOGLE. DON'T HURT THEM.

Is it just me, or is google gaining $1000 a share in 7.5 months been incredibly quiet?

Apple just SPANKED earnings....

NOT speaking about AAPL directly, but in more general terms since I often see questions/comments like this.

Stocks traded ahead of earnings sometimes turn into cases of "buy the rumor, sell the fact". Remember that a stock's price is the present value of some future expectations. So, when the results come in, people take profits.

You also have the questions of where we go from here, are the results repeatable, what does the future hold?

This is particularly pronounced in very large/mega-cap stocks. But, the market will continue to evaluate as it does, especially once the algos lose steam.

In Apple's case, the 52 week high is $150 so it's not too far off at these levels after a great 1-year run, so a breather isn't unusual, especially in light of what I said above.

I understand all of that. But they destroyed earnings. Not just met or barely beat.

Well at least GOOGL is moving AH.

We had our foot on their throat. Sankey told us to take it off.

Hopefully we get to put it back there soon but in the same conference now.

Which is why I'm glad I own a stake and don't plan on selling it

The market will do what the market will do...and the market is always right, even if it's always changing its mind

Amazing earnings. Hopefully, GOOGL keeps going up!

and CMG, GOOGL, and others are moving because of great earnings and guidance.

AAPL did not.

Hopefully, FB, LRCX, MCD, AMZN, and PINS all have great earnings and go up.

VIX closed at $19.36, SPY and Qs dropping AH. Tomorrow should be interesting.

Google may gap and fade. If it opened where it is now, that probably close to +4 ATR.

Great point.

Not stocks related but it just hit me on the tu SEC deal...

Can you imagine the red azz the left behinds in their conference will have for them this coming season. Horns down will be a normal occurrence.

---

Big 12 refs might be rooting against the sips for the first time ever

---

will be glorious to watch....and hopefully the SEC teams gives them the same "welcome"

after all the stuff on social medias, I think everyone is. The only fanbase happy is Ole Piss, they finally have someone more stuck up than them in conference.

Whatcha think?

Redler would say can't get too bearish when its above the 8 & 21 EMA. Much less the 5.

SPY

How about the Qs?

Hmmmmm IWM

I am a rookie.

But until the fed actually starts address inflation and reducing money supply I will be bullish after any days with sell offs like today.

In my opinion we will continue melting up with day(s) of selling in between.

The fed controls when the "heavy" correction will come (which I think will be upwards of 15%). Until then.... YOLO.

I will continue to sells puts/calls at -3/+3 respectively.

Crush them into a pulp on the field. Shut out. Make them cry.

At what point do we make a fund for recruits? I tried pushing this on premium. We need to get a texags fund going with a visible dollar value that stays at the top of the bone page for recruits to see how much money we are raising to pay current players for "NIL."

I think if/when we lose today's low we will more than likely revisit the 50 EMA again. If that is near term, then the span time on visits will have moved much closer together.

Lose 428ish and quite possible we begin a large pullback.

Until then trade the trend(s) for me although I find this harder than usual.

Dear Mr. Market. You flushed retail today. Now reward those of us who held during the sell off. GREEN THE REST OF THE WEEK.

---

It wouldn't surprise me at all to close the week at or near new ATH. Fed meetings the next 2 days may change that of course. Tomorrow I would think will be sporty.

Hope I am on the right side of the bet when JP speaks or minutes are released.

As austinAG90 said earlier today next weeks meetings may be the bigger deal for direction.

I am still not sure I fully understand who can pay whom, when, via what means and how much or what all the details of this are.

I haven't dug into it at all so far.

FJ is correct, but a thought: just because we aren't bearish doesn't mean we should be loaded to the gills with OTM long calls either. I feel this is a precarious place to go super long.

Yes, we can go to ATH, just not super high probability.
