Anyone watching IEP after the Hindenburg report? Inflated NAV and unsustainable dividend rate was noted in the report. Taking big swings at Carl Icahn with the report.

Will retrace but don't want to get in on something like that
I don't know how long it will last, but 2023 sure has been chop/bounce/fall rinse & repeat so far.
yea, I wouldn't want to mess with that.$30,000 Millionaire said:Danwell Home said:

I'm sure things will get messy with Hindenburg going after this titan. I'd end up just being collateral in the mess.
Remember Bill Ackman vs. Herbalife (Icahn)?
ACGN went to the moon all of a sudden on huge volumes, any news?
Looks like SPY is all settled in for FOMC

WWR with a explosion move back to $1.05. Get above $1.10 and the August $2 calls should bid $0.20. That would be a great target if you didn't have your GTC sell order overnight in place. I got to buy back all the shares that sold at $1.20. What's not to like?!

The unwinding of not only today's options but next several days will be wild. Direction will come sometime after the unwinding.,
These would reflect premiums a day or even two out but with 3 hours left the premiums are lit! $0.70+ for expiring $315 calls. 😂

And no one is surprised!

Anyone playing the announcement?
Don't know. You're dealing with IV crush and theta. Bad combo man.
Oh, I'm not playing it except through a couple of covered calls on some of my SPY shares. I just want to live vicariously.

Hey bud. So are you doing this full time now or still managing the corporate world alongside?
As for FOMC, I wouldn't play it. I don't do much in equities (or really the dollar) anymore, but what little I have played, I did take a SPY 415 call yesterday and ran it for a 60% gain this morning. That's how you play these choppy, government backed markets.
Nice to see you again Foggy, I hope all is well with you.Mostly Foggy Recollection said:$30,000 Millionaire said:

Only trading positions for FED I have is May 8 $420 25% of the total June $380 SPY Puts. So if I have 100 June Puts I have 25 May 8 SPY $420 calls. Bought those calls yesterday once the pivot confirmed off lows.topher06 said:

Here is my current look at SPX.
Current $SPX look. Channel reset at new supports after the tighter uptrend channel broke. We have a lone up & down gap waiting to be filled. If the upper one gets filled first, I'll bet a steak dinner the lower gets filled soon after. Longer the other way. Gaps always get filled! pic.twitter.com/d0wS0wGm8i

IV crush got anyone playing so far, good call on the sit this one out.
yup. The first 1 minute candle is always fascinating and a site to see.topher06 said:

It's a wild candle I tell you what
Let me guess..
"We are going to stay at this level and monitor the data as it comes in to determine the path for future meetings"
The FED will not be lowering, but they will continue to kick the can and let the market think they might.
Remember, if they lower, inflation comes roaring back and the problems in our economy stay and likely get worse. If they raise, the create a quicker pathway and a deeper immediate drop with banking and commercial real estate contagions. If they stay right here for 1-2 years and constantly make the market think they might be dovish sometime in the future, the market will slowly bleed out and they think nobody will blame them.

People, I use the term loosely as I'm describing lefties, think the economy is stronk. The Fed's plan will go along seamlessly.
If fed signals pause then blow off top might be possible.
Once paused however their will be a dash to the exits as people lock in T-Bills at peak rates. Why have funds in a volatile market when you can get 5.5% at much lower risk.
May not seem like a lot but with millions/billions it is real dollars with a good return at low risk.

I've been putting more in to my 4.2% yield savings account over last couple of months, I'll take that return on a relatively large chunk of capital for me at this point instead of leaving it sidelinedSF2004 said:

Exxon, of course, found a way to go down as a result of the news. Maybe this is just cycling out of energy.
I played both sides of it, with small profit exits, thinking that candle would be nuts. It worked.
Looks to be headed up from here. FJ had identified 413.23 as a key threshold back on 4/19, and I wonder if that still applies.

None of what is happening with energy stocks makes sense. Feels like accumulation phase to me.
