Bought a couple of XSP411s for today.

---

Honest question… why XSP instead of SPY? Those bid-ask spreads are atrocious.

---

Cash settled at the end of the session.

You can usually get filled somewhere in the middle of the spread range.

This play didn't work out today though. At least I was just using some profit from another trade. Frustrating we got no bounce.

seriously though, someone explain ASO.

Not sure exactly what you're wondering about.

The were private and rumor was had gentlemen's agreement with Dicks to not open in each others backyard. Supposedly that started to crumble so they sold to VC b/c VC had the cash to rapidly expand their footprint. They are now opening stores in new areas.

Another nugget I've seen are projections for the sporting goods market is expected to continue to grow. Population growth = more kids in sports = buying more clothes every dang season. Plus they reach a wide breadth of customers that spreads out revenue stream....kids sports during school year...then hunting season...then fishing season. Constantly have those folks coming thru the door. Not to mention a loyal following.

VC also really ramped up their online offerings so trying to get into that channel more.

They have started to creep with more and more ASO brand items though. However still maintaining a good mix of brands......for now at least.

That's my understanding and my take on it so that and your own cash will buy you a cup of coffee!!

Thanks.

I just expect it to take a breather. Dang this just keeps trucking.

Wanting an opportunity to buy into further, but it doesn't want to present.

Model T today is 411 along with yesterdays highs. We broke yesterdays lows earlier and I wouldn't be shocked to do it again today. Kinda leaning towards an engulfing candle on the daily.


Edit: keep seeing stuff on social media from fed comments that sound positive so may not retest lows like I thought.

You were right. Good call. Maybe the last 30 will be interesting

Fair enough, thanks. I could see how that would be a benefit in certain situations.

for the last year it takes a breather for a bit, comes down slightly, then goes back up. Analysts keep raising price target and they keep beating earnings every quarter. For a while there they were CRUSHING earnings. This last qtr they beat earnings but not by a ton and missed on revenue. It still kept trucking.

I specifically will only sell CC's that expire the month immediately BEFORE earnings as each announcement has brought solid jumps up so far.

I hope you're opportunity to buy in does not happen!! Unless you're willing to buy in now

A bit early to tell how this will play out and markets avoiding it for now, but is this a canary? I thought something big would happen next week. Looks like North Korea front ran me.

NK used to do this all the time before the orange man told him to knock it off.

Nothing to worry about unless it actually lands on Jap soil.

Yeah, I remember these quite a bit, but I just don't remember Japan telling its citizens to shelter. He used to fire them innocently into the ocean.

Probably every third or fourth launch they would shoot one over the island of Japan. They always used to sound air raid alarms based on trajectory and what city it would fly over.

I miss being able to post pictures easily on the phone when I had premium. I got so tired of every conversation on the premium board being about our coaching staff that I had enough of it but I miss how easy it was to post charts and the patterns.

Anyways... Going from January 22 highs on apple on the weekly chart sure does show a nice bearish pattern that we are currently getting rejected at.

Been doing the same. Bought in at $32 and have lowered my basis to $25 with covered calls. Hoping it can push $70 tomorrow and I may sell some more. Was +2 ATR today for a bit and nearing RSI of 70.

Happened in October, they issue shelter warning when it appears heading over them.

Japan is bro. China is *******.

Question for the guys working in big corporations. Was looking through Southwests voting issues for the annual meeting, and saw that one of the items being voted on was whether shareholders could remove directors without cause. The board, surprisingly, is recommending to vote against this idea .

I was just curious if shareholders being able to remove directors without cause was the norm or not in big corps.

Yes, look up ISS.

If we stay in this tight range today, we may be setting up for a bullish harami. Worth keeping an eye on, but we are trading inside yesterday's big red candle.

Yes.

But this move is likely to get some activist investor onto the board (read, an ESG PITA).

Tread lightly.

hah funny. Was coming here to post the same. VIX coming down do it's 6mo support at ~18.10.

SPY keeps testing that 410.75-ish level again. I'm out until it confirms a move above or big rejection

411.50 looks like the spot to watch to me.

Agree. Scalping in the meantime

Has anyone checked the Model T on BTC?


Bottomed around $15K. ATH $68-69K. Model T around $40-42K?

Have been surprised this robust rally from such a sham.

It likely reflects the growing dissatisfaction with the way governments are manipulating the money supply and a change in consumer/institutional sentiment re: BTC being a "sham".

tried search function but nothing popped so asking here.
I'm bag holding on AULT and planned to ditch it whenever I sell ASO to offset taxes from gain. Just got an offer to convert current shares to other shares. I'm still a newb so this is greek to me. Anyone in same boat that can explain it in laymans terms?

I don't think we can break and hold above 412.50 if it gets there.

i.e. this time it's different.

It's a corrective wave for BTC. I've just been surprised by the robust nature of it. Given all the negative news and sentiment around BTC/FTX/every other crypto firm, I would love expected a much more feeble rally.
