I think most of FJ and 30k's accounts have an additional comma than my accounts.

How many commas are we talking about here, boss?
I have no idea if I'm doing it right but most of my options trades are in the 0.5-1% of my trading account range. My trading account is about 10% of my main investment account, which is mostly for long holds and wheel strategy (except for those rare opportunities when crwd hikes up her skirt and gives me a wink)
I like that the 50k acct has given us a little peek at 30k's position sizing strategy

You have to be careful on spy with this, because your low was never a traded price yesterday, was just a darkpool wick that was recorded to the tape.

Went long QQQ at close, at a pretty important area chart wise, case could be made for going long or short here, taking my shot long. Like the spot as easy to see when wrong.

CWH has 7% dividend. I hope we get assigned. I may sell another put in the 50K account.

Tomorrow will tell the tale for direction I think.
I like the trade. I'm long a little AAPL still, holding overnight (very small position). I don't think they will make a drop this easy for bears (every robinhooder and his dog were probably buying puts at the close).lobwedgephil said:

This week has had me busy with real life, sorry for delayed response.Thriller said:
Talking out loud. Respond if you want, but mainly this is diarrhea of the keyboard, trying to learn and put my thoughts on "paper".
I'm trying to figure out when/where to take profits. I had a few positions in a 50K account at around 2K each. I bought these prior to jumping into the conversation and can't really tell you why I bought them except for the fact that i "felt" they had been hit too hard in recent months. "That's not a great reason to buy, but I do feel like it's a good reason to start research.
However, now that I have them, I'm trying to follow some of the recent guidance and lock in some profits, set some stops, and then reevaluate when/where to get invested again.
What I'm trying to avoid is selling for the same reasons I nought - gut feeling. I have the following (all long, no options yet).
TSLA: Bought at $790. I sold a fractional share at $911 (15% gain), leaving 2 shares. I sold another today at 25%, leaving 1. I'm tempted to put a stop in (where???) and just let it ride. Should I sell this last piece or let it ride?
NVDA: Bought 9 shares at $221. Sold 4 at $265 (~20%). Current stop is at B/E.
Similar sized positions in AMZN, AAPL, MSFT, DIS, FDX, APA, and LOW. Those aren't up enough to to sell (or are they - all less than 10%). Stops are set at 80% of entry price.
Companies on my radar from a macro perspecctive: CSX (or another railroad), KR, and possibly a bank (BAC maybe)
I also followed 30K into a couple of smaller plays for less than 1%.

I missed your CWH trade. What did you do? I've been thinking about getting back into that one. I think I have 50 shares left, but sold everything else last year.

Yeah odd. Think he has a screw loose or two. Can't imagine him threating nuclear use for Ukraine without his country being invaded by them. But weirder things have happened.Bob Knights Liver said:
Weird timing for that headline. You'd think they would have been prepared >2 weeks ago when Putin made a tweet about it?
Quote:
U.S. jobless claims set a more than 50-year low last week as the red-hot labor market shows few signs of cooling in the near-term.
- Initial jobless claims, week ended March 19: 187,000 vs. 210,000 expected and a revised 215,000 during prior week
- Continuing claims, week ended March 12: 1.350 million vs. 1.400 million expected and a revised 1.417 million during prior week
At 187,000, new jobless claims improved for a back-to-back week and reached the lowest level since September 1969. Continuing claims also fell further to reach 1.35 million the least since January 1970.
It'll get revised upwards quietly in a few weeks when Biden doesn't need a positive headline.Brian Earl Spilner said:
