I played this week so horribly wrong on XOM because of a combination of stupid decisions. By pure luck I think I'll come out ahead but it should have been way more.
But I have a feeling this gift is going to keep on giving.

It's a curse really. Like George Costanza choosing the opposite. That's how I should play.Golf1 said:

I'm down a bit for the day. 2-for2 in trades, but was not fast enough to cut losses on my last one. I'd love to still be holding those SPX calls I bought near today's lows, but I took profits and have been sitting out the rest of this run up not wanting to "chase".

In for a quickie. The '85 Dooley 454 is due for a windshield repair this morn and momma and I go shopping thereafter.Red Pear BCS Luke said:
Fluttered out of 1/3 ofthe Nov 11th $114C for XOM at 70%.
Only 1/3 remaining now - Don't be afraid to take profits.
And remember what Farmer said that even XOM is not immune to consolidation and taking breathers after all these new ATH's
Next week,....XOM has a real good shot to see the $117 area. ........ In the words of the radio version of Mark Levin, "There! I said it!" I'll be working over the weekend on this because I really need to do something in my position too. (For you CVX lurkers out there, that means $190 for you)
Have a great day & weekend!
Make a bunch of money!
BTHOF!

Sold half my XOM calls and set a breakeven stop on the rest. Not quite net-free but close enough for government work.

Think it is pretty clear that the market is reacting to the likelihood that the Astros take the World Series.
Why the heck can't I sell calls on my OXY 70 Jan calls. They are ITM. Fidelity tells me it's an uncovered position. BS

Just me but I'd set a trail to lock in green vs potentially exit a solid trade flat. Flat not as is breakeven but flat on the balance.

Is it a margin account? If so when you put in the order set it on margin and not cash.irish pete ag06 said:

I think I may do that. Thanks for the advice.FJ43 said:BourbonAg said:

Edited my earlier above. Meant flat on the balance not break even overall. Difference of 100% return or 50%.
Traders market still.

Check and make sure you are approved for "level 3" option trades in your account. You made need to apply for that level. It frustrates me the restrictions fidelity places.
No margin in Roth IRA
MAN... Took XSP 376 puts on the 1 min 8/21 EMA cross.
Had to sell them at breakeven because it was time to sing happy bday to a co-worker.
They would have been 150% right now and moving.

The beauty of this is that they probably hated having you sing it to them as much as you hated having to sing it.

I've ****ed this day up trading. Gave back a lot of my profits from this week. I should have shut it down after I got green and hit my daily target. Bob, you dumb SOB.
Cloudfare is going to be the swinging dick of cloud structure, services, and maintenance. Their clients quickly spend over $100k with them annually. I see it as a chance to buy NVDA in 2015.$30,000 Millionaire said:Bonfire1996 said:
Long entries: Ignore GOOGL and focus on NET. Sure you'll get 100%-200% on GOOGL from here in the long run, NET is going to be a $250B company in under 10 years. That is 15x from here.
Why do you say that? Any one of the big 3 can enter their areas more heavily any time
Their last four EPS quarters:
Beat 100%
Beat 500%
Beat 100%
Beat 500%
And they beat revenue each quarter and have guided higher.
If the future is cloud, which I think it is, this company slays.

Damn I walk my dog and come back to down 6-7 points. What happened?

Would you be inclined to hold off buying at these levels? It's approaching the 52 week low and recession talk is still looming.
Apologies if you have already answered this question. I do prefer to buy and hold!
i feel you, I took a quick 20% scalp at consolidation and now I look like a paper handed monkeyirish pete ag06 said:i said:

My last trade of the day was getting stopped out of SPX puts. That was a few minutes before it fell off the cliff. Can I throw a flag on the MMs for targeting? Tricky fing market here.
