days like today up about 2 months salary in a couple hours thankful my desire to make money trumps fear of losing it
I already have some October far out of the money VXX calls as it was potentially building to something before yesterday. Probably wont add anything here at this point. 0DTE volatility plays are such a small chance of success.I bleed maroon said:You gonna play the VIX? Tempting...Heineken-Ashi said:

It looks like he optioned the same amount he sold, and they were planned sales. I think this is likely covering tax bills and a nothing burger. Could be wrong.EliteZags said:

FDX just **** the bed with their ER
FDX seems to always crash on earnings then slowly recover and crash again.
Looks like earnings action today just wiped out the entire gain from when it rocketed June 25 earnings
Something for both bulls and bears
SPX all time chart in log mode is again approaching its long term upper trendline from 1929. Would come in just over 6000 if it happened next month. That's some damned good upside for those willing to play up here.
The EMA's showing are 55, 144, 233, and 610.
I'm actually considering buying a single SPX 4400 put for the day after the election. I think it's running around $5. I would fully expect to lose it. But if a crash like event WERE to happen, even with the SPX only getting to 5100, the sharp increase in volatility would spike the value so high that it would pay significantly well. The same could be done with an October put in the 4700 strike range for a little cheaper.
Not a bad hedge.

I made enough today to pay off my mortgage and my car loan but they are at 3.25% and 2.34% so I'll likely let it ride until money markets are paying less than that

Nike up 8% after naming a new CEO.
I think it's a good move.
lots of folks were upset in 2019 when Elliott the newly named CEO was overlooked and the outsider was brought in (outsider'ish.. donahoe was a board member)
the people of Nike are happy with this - will be curious to see the biz results.

Are you saying POW! or POWL?
Yes

Probably selling my POWL here as we reach big resistance from the last time and will try to buy it back on another dipnancydeedavis said:

That percentage of short interest in POWL keeps going down. Thinking Prog's prediction of the shorts having to buy is coming to fruition and driving massive volume lately. Put a stop in today at $189 and will adjust up if this keeps going. Love it!

Yeah I may miss some but I'm up 54% on a fairly large position so I'm cashing it and if I leave some on the table, no worries. With such a small float POWL is volatile and feels likely to dip again at some point
Yes, this is quickly crossing the line from "wow this is fun!" to "oh no, when does the music stop?"
SLV keeps on cruising up
Yes - my third ride on SLV call options in the past 18 months or so. Nearing my 100% gain point where I take 40% of the initial stake off the table.Happygilmore20 said:

The first ride was very successful, and then H-A started hyping it, helping to convince me to take another run at it. It was also successful, so I am trying to catch lightning in a bottle for the third time.
I sold my remaining SLV 9/20 $28's about an hour too early this morning
mind blowing that anyone with a brain will be shorting companies that make electrical gear when leadtimes are pushing over 52 weeks plus. demand is so high it is crazy. With so many data centers coming that takes up so much capacity and if O&G gets going again, they should be busy for years.Number Monkey said:

Same here. I have calls for Jan25 and Apr25 in case we get fireworks after the election.
Nearing the point where I think about selling a few Oct calls. I am no expert, but I think the MACD charts indicate this latest surge may keep rolling for awhile. Bird in the hand or two in the bush.

where are you getting 52 week quotes? 65-70 is typical these days.AgShaun00 said:mind blowing that anyone with a brain will be shorting companies that make electrical gear when leadtimes are pushing over 52 weeks plus. demand is so high it is crazy.

Call me brave, ignorant, or stupid, but I bought some Jan $300 FDX calls. Pure speculation - I do not recommend for any sane investor...
Seeing way more POWL chatter on X. If SPY can hold on a few more days, should get interesting.
If it prints $210, a new ATH, then it'll breakout. If that panics the shorts, then it'll shoot to $225+ quicklyCC09LawAg said:

That is what I am hoping for.
Depends on type of gear. Data centers you are probably right, but MSB are 40-52 weeks. Generators are back to less than 40 weeks on some type of units. We do mostly commercial so that is for our type of projects. A few mfg are adding more lines which is helping lead times. More of the HV/MV you are correct on the 65-70. HV xfmr for utility I think are pushing 90 weeks.Ragoo said:where are you getting 52 week quotes? 65-70 is typical these days.AgShaun00 said:mind blowing that anyone with a brain will be shorting companies that make electrical gear when leadtimes are pushing over 52 weeks plus. demand is so high it is crazy.

Eventually production is going to catch demand. Then everyone will have to keep filling those expanded factories. I hope it doesn't slow but could end in a bull whip effect
Dang, missed my $32 SOXL order by 4 cents.
I'm gonna be nervous AF all weekend.
Not sure how to set my stops on these calls because the volume is so low - stop limits almost guaranteed to not get filled, but a stop loss can get triggered so easily because sometimes the price jumps down $1 and up $1 in the span of minutes based on buys.

if we have a president that bring mfg back, then it won't be a problem. Intel factory in Ohio could wipe out 50% of capacity for 2 years if ordered at the same time. Doesn't factor in at all what samsung is doing or data centers. I think 10 years out and this is still safe. I do meet with the executives of all the gear mfg and piecing it all together, I don't see how they are slowing down besides finding workers to get it done. hard industry to automate.SAag1113 said:

Strange AAPL selloff at the close. Went off a cliff.
Strange indeed. I'm glad my protective Jan $200 puts executed this morning! Up over 10% on the day.Brian Earl Spilner said:
