Anyone remember that commercial with the message, "You're not getting older you're getting better"???
Lies, all lies.
p.s. If you do remember that commercial, you're old too!

So much golden truth in this post. That bolded statement. Wish I would have written that.$30,000 Millionaire said:Literally one of my least favorite tech CEOs. He personally really messed things up for me in a prior job. Helicoptered in and made all these promises for what Salesforce could do, completely brushed aside valid concerns with their plan, and hard committed to dates and scope. Anything to get the sale, I guess. Legitimate disaster and the last thing you want to own is implementation results for something you know isn't realistic.$30,000 Millionaire said:
Benioff is such a smug SOB. Love to see him take it in the shorts.
On the flip side, it was pretty awesome that every time their team couldn't deliver something I got to say "get Benioff on the phone and let's have a discussion on why you can't meet the dates he promised for you". Those poor guys worked 24/7 and still couldn't get it right.
Been down that road many times and it's gut wrenching. I was mentoring a close friend through one of these situations in 2021 and all of 2022 - my friend was responsible for one of four segments and it was the only segment that worked after rollout....ADP vs PeopleSoft. His around the clock documentation about killed him as to why the software firm wasn't delivering, but he came out on top and they hated him. He was the only dissenting voice in the room for rollout and it delayed the rollout for 9 months and software firm ate the cost.
I loved this statement, "On the flip side, it was pretty awesome that every time their team couldn't deliver something I got to say "get Benioff on the phone and let's have a discussion on why you can't meet the dates he promised for you". Those poor guys worked 24/7 and still couldn't get it right."
I worked with SalesLogic and believed it to be superior to SalesForce. In the end, SalesLogic was found to be superior,....but when your company owners have a major ownership stake in SalesForce, they get to call the shots on what program is to be used. It was a double suck situation. I have nothing good to say about SalesForce.
I appreciate your post.

Not yet. 90 day continuance because plaintiff tried to offer a new damages model after they realized they were screwed. But yes, eventually that's what I'll be telling the jury.ProgN said:Boy Named Sue said:

AAPL could go through a retest cycle but when a stock like it hits a new high there is usually big fireworks ahead.
I'm thinking $200 flash.
I'm thinking $200 flash.
so, what are the thoughts on the board? are the lows in for the year? do we retest the 3,800 March lows? or God forbid, do we even sniff or go back to the 3,500 October lows? I personally just do not see either without some major catalyst, but would love to hear thoughts on the next 6 months. Mega cap & AI bubble definitely seems stretched, but I just don't see a major drop back to those lows and think it trades in a 4,100-4,350 type range.

Hope you guys made money short. On the long side, I think 4200 is possible, but right now it could be a double top.
Not seeing the volume to have high confidence
It would be inhumane to hit 4200 and not fill that 8 month gap. That said, the bears used it as a carrot the one time it looked like it was going to get filled, so maybe. But if this breakout confirms I think we see crazy stupid kind of rally as high as 4325.
Fed June 13-14. Alternate theory - they announce a stop or pause on hikes, and get a blow off top on SPY.

Given the labor report and jobs added - I highly doubt they will pause on hikes. If anything it'll be like what one of the Fed members was saying in that pausing for June to get some more data before resuming in July.FTAG 2000 said:

If Jamie Dimon thinks that rates are going higher, I have little to no doubt that rates are going higher or we can change how we view/interpret labor into the model.
Edit: We added 339K jobs last month and unemployment is 3.7% with declining workforce as baby boomers continue to retire. Going to keep putting more pressure on labor until AI or technology proves out to fill the gaps
So you're saying my June 13 SPY 430Cs are a bad idea?

I think you take a flyer from OA and plow into AAPL $200 calls lolFTAG 2000 said:

Nice! I had this same thought as you this morning - happens about once a year, lol. take out 183+ and off to the races.oldarmy1 said:

maybe it squeezes into the close, might be an end of day lotto. (I'm in a few 182.50's with you already) and some next week expiration.
your thoughts on PYPL? bottomed and looking like clean reversal. A real beat down name.
Happy birthday OA!

I've got some August 20Cs that are 25x right now.
I'm ready for the run to $94 (January 2021 high).
Happy Birthday OA! Some good ones this week.
I'm out - been a great week and don't want to ruin it.

I'm honing my public trades, so novices aren't as freaked out by capitulation moves. Less trades publicly but high confidence. Announcing seminar next week, in advance of new trading business going live. There will be two seminars - first one for beginners and second for advanced. Reminder that any who attended either seminar are able to view either (or both) free, as well as will have 60 day free access to the site.spud1910 said:

As far as the site goes, there will be a complete trading approach including:
- Day Trade in/out trades (Generally these materialize in the opening hour and exit 90% same day w/runner hold)
- Futures overnight (Some of the best movement is in the overnight sessions. Most macro tests occur then)
- Set-ups (like our ENPH and AMT this week, where specific entry points are given for people to set alerts and then action CHARTS, CHARTS and MORE CHARTS!)
- Outlook and strategic approach (This is updated daily using data points received at the end of each day)
- Live sessions (Up to 3 days a week with live-look at market opens, thoughts and anything actionable)
- Running Trade Updates (Entry date/price, Target, Stops, Results)
- Lotto (Generally Lotto Friday, except when I see a high confidence continuation day, such as recent SPY Lotto on a Tuesday and Thursday)
- Edcuation (Everything from trade psychology to position management - what % of dollars on any given trade, etc)
Sounds awesome. Any idea on mobile or app ability?
That's been the biggest hold-up. And I have to have instant text for entry and exits, so people with a life can live it and get notified when actions are being taken.SoTXAg09 said:

Congrats OA! Sounds exciting for all parties involved.
OKTA Killed it on earnings but got hammered. I don't see it going into a long consolidation channel. Bulls are going to kill the bears I think.
Also, BIGC broke out. ASAN and BIGC.....we get a bull market rally again and you'll want those in your portfolios

Looks like it's starting to get some juice here this last 30 minutes.
Anytime a stock pops at the open, consolidates and then crawls back to days opening levels you know big money is in the block order mode.
