Hate bringing up natural gas, but how do you handle stop losses? I set my BOIL stop loss at 6.35 (just below the 10ema line on the weekly) and it barely nicked it this morning, which seems pretty typical for my luck. I find that being 50% on your initial investment is almost as nerve wrecking as being down. Feels like I start to panic sell faster under these conditions.

Flashed below key SPX mark 3945 and then failed breakdown shot us back near days high before another failed rally and here we sit smack on Model T. I swear, amazing.
Ask Jeff! He's the hold up. Technical stuff.

It's all good man, just having some fun with you.
I think the obvious thing is that as soon as that hits the ex-div date, many will sell and it will drop at least, if not more than the dividend amount.
excuse my ignorance, by why not use a sell stop limit to try to lock in some of those dividend gains at market open, with the added 'protection' that if it drops more than the dividend amount then you can just hold and try again later. Seems like a safer play than trying to time it at market open...FTAG 2000 said:

or does the drop happen during AH/PM such that the order wouldn't trigger? I don't follow ex-div date patterns (besides that they tend to drop by the amt of the div.)
Not sure thats obvious. plenty buy for the long termFTAG 2000 said:txaggieacct85 said:ok. let me try again. it PXD. and I already bought $47K worth since I posted the first time.FTAG 2000 said:I mean, he could if he's got the coin.cjo03 said:txaggieacct85 said:

My FDX is up over 15% on a 12/22/2022 buy.
Did Barnes change his name again?
Look at this channel for SPY daily going back to 2/13.
By the way, that orange line at the bottom of today's candle is the upper trendline going back to the start of the bear market last March.

Futures at this hour only cause stress and can change but ES reversed hard with TSLA afterhours. The open tomorrow could be ugly.
Hey family, I know some here despise F16 but please read my OP because this is a threat to all our families, blue or red.

You don't have to post in F16 but I don't feel like redoing the OP and everyone should be aware of what's transpiring.

Ruh roh. I think we know how this usually goes. :-)
Not this time doc. My post is bipartisan and I'm not being an *******.

Social Security is theft
That all makes sense and I think, HOPE, you are right.
Feels like it could be an ugly ending to the week, market finally catching up to where treasuries are and Tesla isn't helping the retail/FOMO crowd's sentiment.

Just a redneck guess. We could see SPY 392.70-393.30…ish tomorrow.
Trade wisely!
I'm looking for 387.37 today. But what's the right answer?

PXD looks very nice this morning.
Y'all might want to consider refinery stocks now for a 2023 hold. It don't matter,...just pick one.

Anyone know when we get the Fed speakers today?

Fed Waller at market close.
But also hearing comments from Collins right now.
AAP seems to have strong support along this 137/138 range, good chance for a call with tight stop if it breaks this support
Question for the EMA guys (FJ, Irish pete, 30k): Do you have the extended hours on when you have your 8 and 21 EMAs? there is a difference when it's on vs off so I didn't know if it really mattered or was just a different way of looking at it.
SPY coming in for a VWAP test.
Look at this inverted H&S starting to form on ZIM.
