TIGR has a nice upward channel going on the one minute.

---

Nice daily chart as well, I'm in for shares and targeting the gap close mark at $25+

---

Got in the 8/20 $15s this morning at the open for .45, got out earlier this afternoon at 1.05. Nice little trade.

Also have shares behind it but figured would play the run to earnings today.

I sold my remaining VIX calls yesterday at 3.10. Not advice, just responding to your question.

sell all in that case. these spikes can be very short lived

Being in RIG is just a daily beating. Want to sell and take my losses but can't bring myself to do it.

AAPL needs to hold the 10 dma. If not, we could see a bounce of the 20ema tomorrow. It could be an opportunity to enter a weekly lotto.

---

That idea got blown up in 30 minutes.

Be safe. ugly selling here into close

Go pull up any energy sector stock. The charts are nearly identical.

Just a heads up, the sell off you just witnessed because the fed "might" taper this year is a canary in the coal mine. When they do actually taper, the market will probably react violently, like a meth addicts first night in rehab strapped to their bed. FWIW, I'll be decreasing my exposure and raising cash, except for TTD, because that's a 10+ yr plan. Plan accordingly for you and your families. JMO.

---

None of this matters.

A 5% or 10% selloff is just another opportunity to BTFD.

This Market is juiced...and stocks only go up.

I honestly think it will take an unprecedented crash for people to get scared again.

---

If I coupled your points correctly....a 5% to 10% sell off (due to FED tapering) would cause a dip - a buying opportunity. I think I agree with you if that's the correct point.

As for an unprecedented crash...I'd say that would equal, FED tapering + FED raising rates + Joe shutting down the economy due to Delta V. That should do it if those events happened fairly close together. Then we get,....more stimulus, lower rates and more mortgage buying and more unemployed Americans on those permanent increased Govt benefits that just got passed. Rinse & repeat.

I'd go for just the tapering.

My account got blown up in 30 minutes as well... oh well, let's buy the dip.

good healthy flush into close. Bears have to be pleased here.

So....ES closed below Mancini's level. His earlier post said can drop hard from here.

Yesterdays mini dip in #ES_F was bought but now bulls need to recapture the lvl that caused the dip (4440) to get back on track

Plan today: Support = 4430 then 4398-92. As long as 4430 holds then 4475 then 4510+ in play. Loss of 4430 sees 4398-2 big lvl & market drops hard below https://t.co/lPFILzJgsC

Edit - Updated post:

After multiple tests 4330 gave way in #ES_F and level to level move here sold rapidly to my 4398-4392 next level down.

Fairly important zone here. If bulls can't defend here we should finally begin a deeper correction 4335ish (50dma zone - vulnerable to fail) then 4300 below https://t.co/Mhlgf3gd1S

I bit the bullet on RIG a while ago. Luckily NIO trade offset a big chunk of losses.

Damn I go away for 30 min and everything goes to ****

Yikes

OPEX Expiration Week. Cool cool....

Based on this, more pain through Friday.

Kicking myself for selling those PII puts after I failed to close them in time last week.

I perfectly called the head and shoulders pattern. It's now fallen to 126.40. I bought the 130 strike when it was at 133.

Oh well..$1500-2000 lesson learned there. These lessons are getting damn expensive.

VIX approaching $21

great chart! and brutal reminder. I should've looked at something like this before this week (and if I played anything played strangles!).

so maybe small bounce tomorrow then dump Friday, rebound next week. just a guess.

Good lord
Have to agree with rest of week outlook

Also want to request you bump this week prior to the next rodeo. Definitely don't want to be long for the first half of that week

So big green candle coming up. Got it!

NQ....no matter how you slice it that is an ugly candle. Volume to boot.....

Do you have any clue why a company like them would drop 51 million on Gold bars?

---

Hedging their huge mountain of cash position appears to be the PSA.

Also, said they are considering crypto too and would report if they buy/hedge.
