I sit around with piles of cash waiting for a buying opportunity...then get timid when it presents itself. Glad I bought at least some of the dip.Brian Earl Spilner said:
What a wild month. Glad I bought the dip hard.
SMCI going for $625 today? Did not expect to hit my next limit so soon.
There are some bigger buys today in shares. That has my attention, I'll join you on shares at least.I bleed maroon said:
After doing some further research, I decided to take a chance on ALB as a value-type play. I chose to first buy Oct $110 calls, but have added some Dec $110 calls and Dec $50 puts (in case the bottom drops out). This is totally a speculative and risky move, obviously. Thanks for the heads up, PROG.
About to sell out of these for about a 2.5x. I think they will be worth more Monday or Tuesday but not going to chance it. Might buy back tomorrow if we get a retrace today to $205-$207 range.Heineken-Ashi said:
Bought IWM 8/21 $207 calls for $2.63. Looking for 2-5x on these with IWM target $212.50-$223 in the expiration timeframe. Premium paid is risk, so not a cheap play.

620's I have as next resistance (if charting this run up by itself). then 650, 700, 730. but I hope it cools off, paper hands here needs a new entry.Brian Earl Spilner said:

Can it hit $650 by tomorrow?
Your daily gain must look damn good right now.
volume says yes. still picking up big buys.Brian Earl Spilner said:Second limit hit.Brian Earl Spilner said:

well I was only being semi-cereal but here we are a week later
Crap. Fat-fingered my SOXQ buy (wanted to put profits in there), and bought 100 instead of 10.
Oh well.
Don't love TOS defaulting to 100.

I think I mentioned it before, but you can change that default number of shares/contracts in ToS to avoid a massive order mistake
Go to Setup --> Application Settings --> Order Defaults
Thanks. Missed that post earlier. Changing it now.
It's improving, but I'm still pissed about SMCI not pre-announcing that margin issue before the correction.Brian Earl Spilner said:

FWIW, I've heard that the margin issue this quarter was due to a large customer. Customer hasn't been named to my knowledge, but I'd bet that it was Elon's $5B server order for XAI. Someone buys $5B in one order, then of course they would get a discount, especially to gain Musk as a customer. I'm still not going to sell any shares until SMCI is $130-150ish post split though.
The rest of my buys, especially the one's I listed at the open on that bloody Monday morning, are doing incredible. I still hold all my POWL too and won't consider selling any until $230/shr, especially after listening to CSCO's CEO this morning on CNBC.
Didn't see this until now, but big block of $700 SMCI puts were sold on Monday. 10/18 expiry
That's a great sign and bullish.El_duderino said:

Exactly. I think it was total order of $5-$6mm. Somewhere around there
Is it safe to say (don't need specifics) that your major individual stock holdings are the following:
* POWL
* NVDA
* SMCI
* ARM
* AMD
Smaller holdings:
* ALB
* DELL
* FSLY
* SNOW
(Not placed in any sort of specific order)
Any significant ones missed?

* NVDA
* SMCI
* ARM

Between now and next week we might be in "short the banking sector" territory.

I've posted, and apologized, for FSLY and SNOW when I cut my losses awhile back. They are no longer on my primary stock watchlist.
Yes, that is my primary stocks that I hold at over 95% in all accounts.

Watching $213.30 range very closely. I sold out of my calls but am looking between there and $216 to initiate end of September puts.La Bamba said:Heineken-Ashi said:

You don't think rate cuts in Sept Fed meeting might give more of a bid to small caps?
Every single "dip" on SMCI has been bought today.
Let's see if that holds here...

Maybe temporarily. But I've posted my thoughts many times on what rate cuts will likely do to this market.La Bamba said:Heineken-Ashi said:Watching $213.30 range very closely.

WTHVF, another Heineken-mentioned gold miner, making a big move today up 26% (finally). Been way down on that stock since my purchase earlier this year.
I really really want AMD $149 and I will close my swing buy from last week. Can still get up into the $150's next week, but I'm starting to get the feeling tomorrow will be red Friday and I don't want to chance anything.
Give me one more push up before close and I'll be happy.

SMCI $658 target for this week went unprinted. I still have $716 through early next week (gonna be be tough to hit), and a confluence of targets at $750 with over a month to happen (seems more likely). Problem is, resistance is under those targets in the $720 range and possibly lower. And I've got a lot of shorter term targets that have opened up today that suggest there might be a sizeable retrace to between $525 and $575. So it could very possibly be down and then back up next week.

Why?
rates falling should be bullish for the larger banks
even with the KBR taking it in the shorts over commercial loans defaulting

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I had an almost 6% total net worth gain today. Biggest percentage day in a long time. I may go buy a whole carton of eggs on the way home.
