That's a freaking monster gar. As a kid, I used to pick gar off in our creek with a .22. A .22 wouldn't even put a ding in that big, tough *******. Just wow!
A lot of that was supported by the AI buzz, no?EnronAg said:
looks like the last time we had a SPY death cross was back in March '22 and we had a steep rise in equities for about a 2 week period before tanking over a 3 month period...then subsequently, we had a golden cross in Feb '23 where we had a steep decline over a 5 week period before the big acceleration upward that we had this year to 52 week highs...primarily driven by Mag7...but regardless, it looks like we could have a rebound after the death cross for a couple weeks before the big fall...just relaying what happened after the last 2 events where 50 and 200 day MA's crossed...
FWIW, I don't put much stake in 'death crosses' on indices but I give them more weight in individual stocks where the company's fundamentals changed. I do like 'golden crosses' in individual stocks though.EnronAg said:

SPY approaching that May 5th gap around $407...let's see if it fills next week or if it just teases it like it did on the 9/21 gap...
Did this make the turn we're hoping for entry?Heineken-Ashi said:
Watch AAPL $164 range for a potential low. If it forms a little base, buy there and place stop immediately below. Target range is $173-$176 by end of November.
If it bounces before there, it's likely very short lived and pressure will remain down to $160.
Very very close. If you are in or want to get in Monday. Stop should be $165.29.Towns03 said:Did this make the turn we're hoping for entry?Heineken-Ashi said:

I'm in the exact same boat (and viewpoint) as you. In hindsight, I wish I had pursued my typical long-dated option strangle strategy, deploying less capital for the same hero/zero outcome. I would have cashed in nicely on the put side, while keeping hope alive with the way out-of-the-money calls.ProgN said:
I do at higher prices. I have not bought more on the way down because this stock will end up a zero or hero, there is no middle and I have enough exposure in it.
looks like yesterday and today were the end of month window dressing that we've seen some of the last few month-ends...MM's using it to suck in some longs and all the CNBC talk of seasonality, etc. yada yada yada...anytime they trot out all these guys spewing "this is the best month historically for the market" and "shaping up for a year-end Santa Claus rally" it makes me want to play contrarian...I bet we fill that $407 SPY gap later this week or early next week...ProgN said:EnronAg said:

It's gonna fill it and more, more than likely. Look for continued weakness to close out the month. The end of the month will maintain the path the market has been on for the majority of the month, not always, but most of the time it will. JMO
So maybe I shouldn't tell you, that historically, we will have a green November?EnronAg said:looks like yesterday and today were the end of month window dressing that we've seen some of the last few month-ends...MM's using it to suck in some longs and all the CNBC talk of seasonality, etc. yada yada yada...anytime they trot out all these guys spewing "this is the best month historically for the market" and "shaping up for a year-end Santa Claus rally" it makes me want to play contrarian...I bet we fill that $407 SPY gap later this week or early next week...ProgN said:EnronAg said:

Pretty rare, but the good news is November has been higher all 5 times. December does fairly well also. pic.twitter.com/PgvpGc1x1X

SMCI smoked earnings estimates, now just waiting on the conference call and guidance.Quote:
Super Micro Computer Q1 EPS $3.43 Beats $3.20 Estimate, Sales $2.12B Beat $2.06B Estimate
I was half kidding, but it seems like the hardcore traders on this thread moved over there or are just doing their own thing. I'm in SMCI and have been a good while so I enjoy the SMCI talk!

What this thread needs are ideas, questions, suggestions, etc. Push yourselves to identify stocks that you see potential in and bring them to the board for opinions. That's how everyone learns and refines their skills.
I'm just focused on the most recent ones that I've brought up and waiting out this difficult market. SMCI reports earnings today after the close. I'm not concerned about their earnings but I don't expect much because stocks aren't being rewarded very much right now, but I'm definitely interested in their forward guidance.
I'm not a day trader, I'm a momentum trader that applies a combination of technical analysis and fundamental analysis.

I'll just say my story that I'm sure others have experienced some sort of iteration of this since covid that contributed to leaving the thread. Made a lot quick, lost a lot in a slow bleed, parlayed gains into WWR pipedream. Economy is "strong" but most see a house of cards, govt says everything is good and inflation is under control (Kevin Bacon "Remain Calm, All is Well" Animal House gif here), we see a different story through their actions and choose to park cash in t-bills at 5% or just index invest until judgement day.
