50 could be top at ma50 line but watch out if it breaks above it could mean some more pain for shorts. This was heavily crowded on short side (at some point almost 50% short of public float)
Be careful.
SHLD: My original post here when the black doji was formed at 29-30: http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=70707016
But guess what, only 1-2 day(s) after when I got into the Calls i chickened out because of the bad CIT news. I am so mad at myself :)
Sometimes best is just to follow and trust the T/A and cancel out all the noise and news (doesn't work always tho)
SHLD 47's, check out this chart, UNREAL BOUNCE!: http://stockcharts.com/h-sc/ui?s=shld
SINA: 70's-75+ next week possible? It looks like it! Broke above ma50 and now has the trend as the friend, lolz
SINA: UNREAL!
I know but i was just talking about today :)
PCLN: Correction setting in to below 510-505 today or just a "BTFD"???
Waiting out the morning but interested to do some quick trades later. Lately I noticed however that the most interesting market action happens in the first hour and then it's like zZzzZzzzzZ
GOOG no bounce in sight yet. Edit: maybe now short term on 1/5 min charts.
SHLD 45's now. Still mad I sold the Jan 40 Calls i got at .15 way back and now they're like 5.00+
NFLX going. Let's see how it'l do today. Hope it goes as high as possible before earnings.
GOOG: yep, not expected. Just goes to show that earnings can be a pure gamble and best is to hedge the with both Calls/ Puts no matter what you may think the stock will do.
I hope the gap to 120 will be closed before earnings. This stock is just going up and up for no reason apparently. I believe what is happening here is institutional shorts covering. Otherwise I can't explain this buying of this POS with so many bad factors and the company even saying they'll be negative all 2012 and possibly even 2013.
If indeed the stock is at 110-120 right up to and on earnings the gap down and crash will be even sweeter and bigger :)
I will make sure to load some Puts on earnings day ;)
For now I hope the longs enjoy the bonfire.
NFLX: I don't know who is pushing this up but for now this POS will just go up and up before earnings it seems. Lots of shorts (and institutional shorts) probably forced to cover.
I would be surprised if it's up on earnings with so many bad factors to consider. I'm looking forward to at least a 10-20 bucks gap down depending where the pps will be right before er's.
Or am I missing something?
NFLX: 102's and rising! Keep an eye on this POS, who knows, maybe it'll see 110+ before earnings. It would be of course even more beautiful if the gap to 120 would be closed before earnings and then a big gap down/ crash on er's :)
I feel so stupid now: I had SHLD Jan 40 Calls @ .15, they're now over 3.00! The assumption of a nice bounce/ reversal was correct just on pure T/A levels. But yes this is a POS that might go bust sooner or later.
I should've just listened to my original gut feeling
SHLD unreal
I had SHLD Jan 40 Calls @ .15, they're now 3.00+, i feel so dumb for having sold them a week ago on the bad news!
NFLX 101's, YES! I WANT This POS to rise and rise and rise before earnings :)
I'm afraid this will continue for at least another week. Puts are not a good idea right now in this market.
SPY 131's: It's impossible for the market ever to be red anymore or go down for few days!
CAT: Any idea on that one? It does sound like they'll have good earnings but it is also very overbought. I was thinking of possibly going into monthly Puts soon for a correction (while day-trading other stuff)
NFLX: What's your take on earnings? The company said they'd be negative all year. Now the stock did run up again. Is there a possibility they will report positive numbers? Or another gap down?
I'm thinking of playing it safe with going into Puts and a little bit of Calls (just in case it goes the other way).
Yes, but don't worry I was just messing with you. I said since it's you i know you're not BS'ing. It is an amazing trade, almost too good to be true, right? :)
Congrats again!
Yeah, I don't like him really either but it doesn't matter. It was adopted as standard by many traders to verify trades (I believe it's the only one out here).
Not saying people here need to do it but it would add a complete layer of transparency.
Especially when people claim to have gotten in at the very low of day and out at very high of day :D
Just messin' with ya, jb ;)
Profit.ly is free. All you need is just the basic trades verification not the other additional stuff.
Wow, so not only did you get in at the very low of day but you also got out at the very high of day!
Usually I'd call it BS but since it's you I trust you're not BS'ing :) - Congrats to this amazing trade.
ps: btw for those who talk about transparency, have you ever thought of using profit.ly to verify all trades?
AAPL: Probably not anymore. Because a) the stock price is rising and rising and b) the earnings will be positive, I bet the Options premiums will be high already and the pps at 440 before earnings isn't impossible. Thus c) there might not much to milk out of it.
I might be wrong though, we have to wait and see the day of 24th and where it stands. But nothing wrong with grabbing some Feb 450+ Calls :) and we have to wait for the weeklies to see how the Options will look like next week.
Right now i'm eyeing NFLX for a potential miss as they said they'll be negative for all year 2012 anyway.
AAPL hits 430's in AH, passes 400 billion market cap: http://9to5mac.com/2012/01/18/aapl-reaches-all-time-high-of-429-a-share-market-cap-closes-in-on-400b/
fookin' penny spammer
Can AAPL hit 430 before close? Not far off!
Don't $AXE me, bro
PCLN: What energy drink did this puppy have today?
Fookin' penny spammer.
CAT: Maybe not 14 bucks but play the volatility. You don't have to wait til it hits 90. But there's a gap in 92's and if the earnings are a miss it can fall very quick.
Either way (via earnings or not) a nice correction is coming soon for sure, the stock is at way overbought levels more or less. And you've got plenty of time in Feb Puts.
JMHO
AAPL all time highs again. See ya in 430's and possibly 440's before earnings.
CAT: Hope it goes some higher before earnings as well. Looking forward to load Puts in the next few days. Thought yesterday's black candle was a sign for a short-term top but looks like it wants a little higher.
Getting pretty overbought. The fall could be the bigger. Anyone with some insight for CAT's earnings? Wonder if they could miss.
Is NFLX back on route to 100 again? And why? But fine with me, I want it as high as possible before earnings :)
