I am with you there, got burned on this one as many people on here as well. It does seem like though when it does have these massive green days, red days follow right after which is why I though ITM puts. Eventually I made a little money back on it by going with that strategy.

I am. Probably spreads on VXX for October and then calls for VIX mid-late Sept. On VIX I will most likely go ATM or +1.cptthunder said:

Thank you all. I appreciate all the messages. We are fortunate we are where we are with modern medicine. Doctors have said the prognosis for preemies this early even 10 years ago was quite different. Side note, I heard of a family friend that is 50 years old was born around this same time and they just sent him home with mom and dad in a shoe box and he slept in a dresser drawer lol. Unfathomable to me.
NICU (and PICU nurses as McInnis noted and from our experience with them from our son) truly are a godsend. I'm honestly at a loss of words at the care they provide. Just a complete blessing.
When my wife's water broke, they started the magnesium and steroids to delay labor as long as possible and to help Faith develop as quickly as possible. Her contractions slowed considerably and the nurses were all indicating we'd likely be in the hospital for a week or even several weeks. We didn't even make it a full 24 hours lol.
We hope to have her home by Thanksgiving if things go well. Then again, maybe we should aim for the Sunday after Thanksgiving so baby care doesn't interfere with watching A&M BTHO LSU as we go undefeated.

Congratulations! So happy to hear mom is doing well and of course little Faith progressing each day.
Whether they come early or late they are a blessing no matter what.
Hmmmm.....she may be a little rebellious in years to come making her own decisions a little early.

I bought some 9/22 16Cs for VIX. Looking back over the course of the year, we've had a VIX spike either the week before or just after OPEX every month.FJ43 said:I am. Probably spreads on VXX for October and then calls for VIX mid-late Sept. On VIX I will most likely go ATM or +1.cptthunder said:

If AMD could stop wedging and start running, that'd be great
Bought $TELL commons yesterday, working on a reversal after a gap down, looking for $3.5 -$4 for a mini cup completion
On AMD, what's the right way to draw the trends for this? Using the red lines from 8/30, this is failing to the downside on the daily. Using yellow going back to 8/5, it's still got room for a move up.

It actually looks like it could be forming a hanging man on the daily. But I go back to last earnings at the end of May, it dropped a hanging man with a short wick the day after, then started its ridiculous run.
It's a do not trade for me, for now.
XOP is running. Sector rotation?

Still plenty of discipline to learn, lol.
But there's a couple of tickers I just put into a list of don't trade because how I think about stocks and what I think would move it one way or another just haven't worked out, with some tough results. ASAN's on that list, along with MU at the top.

Bougth the pullback to the R1 pivot after getting stopped out on the way there.

Anyone have $2 mil laying around? I've got about 506 Afghanis (some are U.S. citizens) needing to be flown out of Afghanistan within 24 hours. Deleted the rest for opsec purposes.
God speed to you and your team. Get those poor people outta there.

ATER I bought back the covered calls on my shares on this dip and set a stop on the shares at 6.80. If it stops out the covered calls made me some quick money, and if it wants to run I've got the option to cover the shares again or just sell the shares outright. Volume has fallen way off but either way it's a win and a stop will just move that money back to cash.
Thanks McInnis!

Have two planes on the ground but we are waiting for State Dept to process. Everyone is in safe houses and transportation has been procured. Just need that DoS to do their thing. We lose the aircraft in 24 hours if we don't have the funds.
Pray we can get this op off the ground. Need lots of prayers! PM me for more details. I'll get them to you as I get them.

Back positive on my $3.97 cost basis WWR. As someone said a few days ago, keep chugging little buddy.
Another name consolidating within an ascending triangle near ATH.. keep an eye on $SQ. Set an alert for $273.50. Think it can make an initial run to $279ish. Volatile name building up energy.
If AMD breaks $106.80 to the downside, then I believe it will be going down further and landing somewhere between $100 and $102.25.AG 2000' said:

This would actually line up with the significant pullback everyone is expecting in the S&P, and what would likely be a small degree pullback in the Russell.
I would be cautious on longs here, as it needs to confirm above $114.50 to signal that a bottom is in place.

I have been completely out of this one for awhile now but still check on it daily and give it the middle finger whether it's moving up or down.

Can we start a TA go fund me? That's a lot of scratch but Aggies can surprise. If you got part of the money ASAP would that move the needle?

Maybe hit up Jimbo, he's got some more scratch laying around.
Not sure if it's been brought up yet, but...
Carnival $CCL announced additional cruises starting November about an hour ago. They've been on the rise all morning. MIGHT (my opinion) be a good end of month options play before the word really gets out.

It seems like SAVA has found a temporary home here in the low-mid 50s. I'm going to wait for a possible macro pullback and then buy some more down here.
