Learn technical analysis and stick to beta stocks. Small caps that are still operating in the red are prone to an offering at any given moment. It is smart to have some money in speculative plays, but don't hitch a wagon to them.agdaddy04 said:
Really feeling like I've wasted a lot of money on all of these small caps. If I'd have just stuck to the large caps along with TTD, would have close to $250k more in my IRA right now. Hoping they pay off in the future... Luckily I still kept a lot in AMZN, AAPL, and TTD.

thanks. Certainly haven't "hitched" the wagon to them, just got a little "happy buying" with them early on. Have straightened that out, but still have much to learn.
Take this with a grain of salt, and I think it is oversold, but I also think we see this go a little bit lower... but what do I know. If it does drop near $44.90 and rejects that then I will personally load up on more shares. Not sure about options, but even if someone bought shares now and held long term I think this is going to look like a steal.
Just keep selling covered calls against them.agdaddy04 said:

If they're still down near the end of the year, maybe cut them for tax harvesting

I'm as permabull as there is, but I got bent over last time I thumbed my nose at the bicycle chart. It is just too consistent
Most of what I'm doing right now is in my IRA that used to be a 401k, so won't have any tax advantages.

$AMZN looks prime to make a move to 3700.
McFly, since it is your specialty, can you design the board a trade for that move in the next couple of weeks. Maybe a 3600/3700 vertical? or 3650/3750?
If you really want to find value, I like the 3650/3750/3850c butterfly. You might get fills around $13 for a possible $100 return. (Goal here would be to sell on a move upward for 3x-5x though.

Been +3ATR, volume declining all week.
Had the 105 area as a support level going back to start of week.
Check my post on the bottom of the last page on TXN. I'm waiting for the stock to retreat $1 or so and then likely jumping in.Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:

The crap thing with fly's is that they're closed. There is no risk-off with flys minus closure, unless I'm missing something.
Some really nice price movement on METX finally. My only green position today.
I would go to your trading platform and set an alert at around .41 for METX to swing trade it. If it hits, then great. You should load up. If it doesn't, then don't touch it.

QQQs channel.
Thoughts on FUBO? Had a nice pop before earnings, then a dump after earnings. I don't remember the reason for either move. Hit -3 ATR this morning and RSI near 30. Wonder if a short to mid-term trade is attractive.
I'm debating averaging down on SNDL here.

Nibbled at some PLTR @ 21.50. If it gets below 20 I am going to take some bigger bites.

Common. This is for my dad's account. I don't do options besides naked puts or covered calls in that accountBREwmaster said:Dec monthlies or commons? nice volume coming in nowIrish 2.0 said:

Maybe ELOX finally found it's bottom? No jinx! No jinx!
Take a look at TEAM....there has been some January option activity in the 500C and 520C. PEG play that consolidating above the 8 and 20 day
Biopharma is just ugly all around right now

BKKT is a buy
Small gaps are getting close to bottoming for the most part. There's just not much more downside to go. Maybe a couple quarters up to a dollar or so for the majority of them.
Almost every one I'm charting is screaming toward max downside that I've thought was a possibility for the last 3-4 months.

I would anticipate it to trade sideways from here and have continued volatility so maybe with a short-term horizon there is some money to make off of this dip. Would think the only thing that would send it up sharply is some type of macro news on the gambling front. To that point, we are probably waiting for gambling numbers in the Q4 earning report before the next major move to the upside if things are better than expectations.khkman22 said:

May I present to you all for your consideration PTN. This is a very interesting chart. Look where it is right now. It seems to always spike to $1.00 plus after it gets down to this area.
