Nothing brings people out of the woodworks more than a good ol' WWR discussion.

While we're talking about it though, if it loses that $1 "support" then it could go down a ways (if that's even possible to go lower).


aaaaannnnnddd there it goes

Dammit. I'm just glad I sold some covered calls way back when to lower my cost basis a little bit. I'm not down quite as much as TDA thinks I am.

If anyone is interested, these are now available for under 70 cents.



An idea…..Can buy these Jan calls and sell the 12/16 $75c for $.10-$.15 (total debit). **This does come with some risk since the call you're selling is less than the strike you'll own.
I'm gonna bring this one up one more time.

You can still buy (Jan 80c) and sell Dec (75c) for .14. Even if the ticker is above $75 next friday the gain on Jan $80 will keep up with the gain on the Dec 75c. If the ticker stays at ~$69-70 you'd even be able to sell Jan 85c for a dime on 12/19 if you wanted for a $5 spread all at the cost of ~.04 (plus fees).

This is far from a slam dunk profit trade, but it seems like there is great R/R here.

I'm all ears to hear how/why this is an awful idea.

Because if you get exercised between now and next week you get assigned and end up short those shares at $7500/contract? I guess worst case (stock has mooned and is over $80) you exercise your jan calls to cover and are only out $500/contract, but any price above 75.14 over the next week and you lose money. R/r doesn't seem great to me
Another edit: i neglected the value of the long call...value of those go to somewhere between 1.5 and 3.5 if the short call goes itm and exercised... that's still likely to leave you in the red if the sp is over say 76.65 next fri

I said I'd follow up on this. I was successful in getting my fees reduced by Merrill Lynch from $0.65/contract to $0.50/contract. I think I should have maybe pressed for more, but think the cut to $0.50 is significant. I trade a bit more than I think most on this thread do, but worth a shot if you trade a decent number of options. I'm guessing I trade 100-150 or so per week.

I lowered my cost basis to $1.50/share now.

If the stock next Friday is at:
  • $76 - the Jan $80c should be ~$1.90ish
  • $77 - the Jan $80c should be ~$2.25ish
  • $78 - the Jan $80c should be ~$2.70ish
  • $79 - the Jan $80c should be ~$3.20ish
  • $80 - the Jan $80c should be ~$3.75ish

So yes, there is some risk the higher it goes, but that's a $10+ move in a week. Like I said, not without it's risks, but seems like good R/R.

Thoughts on SOXL as a hold at these levels? Just broke even on it today but concerned this rally is gonna fizzle out soon. May just get out whole while I can.

lol this is the way! If you buy an infinite amount of shares, your net loss per share would approach zero!

I jest. I lost money on that turd too so pretty much everyone here can laugh about it haha.

Looks like futures contracts rolled out to March on Trading View. Hate when there's such a big gap between ES and SPX. Time to recalibrate.

I saw Mancini allude to this last week in a tweet somewhere. Does this change the price of SPX at all? I think the gap goes somewhere to around 30 (was close to 5 or so these last few days).

Depends on your definition of long. I've typically hold them for a few weeks.

If you're not long enough you will likely pull out early and miss out on the climax of the trade.

I usually buy DNN around $1 and then sell at 1.25. Rinse and repeat.
Bought today at 1.07. Will add at 1.00


Did not sell. White SRs are levels for swings.

This is why I bought yesterday and why I held all. Will see what happens with next attempt at 1.17.

This here is why it seems like it'll be hard for there to be a big sustained drop in the near-term.

Wholesale prices rose 0.3% in November, more than expected, despite hopes that inflation is cooling (cnbc.com)

Quote:

Wholesale prices rose more than expected in November, dampening hopes that inflation could be headed lower, the Labor Department reported Friday.

The producer price index, a measure of what companies get for their products in the pipeline, increased 0.3% for the month and 7.4% from a year ago. Economists surveyed by Dow Jones had been looking for a 0.2% gain.

Excluding food and energy, core PPI was up 0.4%, also against a 0.2% estimate.

That 3920-3930 level has been strong support.

Moreover, SPY has been a magnet to 395 area. It's stuck to it like a rip cord. Any time it extends away from there, it slingshots back. Once VIX expires or possibly next week due to FOMC/CPI, I expect things will decline. That's my guess at least…..

I wouldn't expect too much until the Fed. 3920 - 4000 (3970 really) is a chop zone for now.

3920 has been nails on holding support but it's been tested many many times now.

.3% miss but no pudge down. .2% beat on CPI and it green dildos up.

You can tell the MMs will burn the options they need to. Can't let the plebs in retail be right.
