Or beautiful!
That's the beauty of options right?
Where do you think those Chipotle customers went to eat? Maybe we should be buying calls on THAT restaurant's ER? LOL
FB even turned red today!
What kind of chart are you looking at that told you this? What I want to see is the price of the bottom of this new horizontal channel to decide if it's worth holding these calls.
The market maker on the weekly $50 UPRO puts was much nicer today than yesterday and than any of the other expirations...either that or nobody is playing them much.
I'm diggin the way SWHC is greener than CMG on a percentage basis lol
I could be wrong...I just bought one for $1.82 more as a lotto than anything. But I get suspicious when things like the CDC report conveniently get released the day before the ER. And even if all is clear...this won't fix itself tomorrow...we're talking months if not years.
I dunno...I figure it's bounced enough from $399...look what AMZN did...green as hell for days before ER and then...timber! And I defy you to say AMZN ER was bad in comparison to what CMG will release.
I got burned for my greed on AMZN...so I've turned to a sell the green market philosophy until it's over.
I don't need to be in the money...I just want to be in the green.
Would you believe I don't have a Twitter account? LOL
I'm confident the numbers for the Q will suck donkey dicks on rye buns
SWHC green! Holding Feb $21c and Mar $25c
I don't know about you but on a day where the S&P is down -37 points I'm diggin the way SWHC is green!
UPRO $49.75 -3.08 (-5.83%) weeeeeee!
See what happens when I have to leave for an appointment?...nice trade!
UPRO $50.136 -2.694 (-5.10%)
Alphabet stock could rise another 40% to above $1,000

Alphabet surpasses Apple as world's most valuable company
Alphabet Inc.'s stock soared to an all-time high Tuesday morning, pushing Google's parent above Apple Inc. as the world's most valuable company (http://www.marketwatch.com/story/alphabet-officially-surpasses-apple-as-worlds-most-valuable-company-2016-02-02)by market capitalization -- and analysts think it will rise another 40% this year as they boom toward $1,000.
In its first earnings report in which the company separated Google core results from those of its "other bets," (http://blogs.marketwatch.com/thetell/2016/02/01/alphabet-earnings-to-break-out-non-google-results-for-first-time-live-blog/) such as Calico, driverless cars and Nest, much stronger-than-expected core results prompted several price-target increases on Alphabet's stock(GOOGL) (GOOGL).

The most bullish came from Deutsche Bank, which raised its 12-month target to $1,080 from $900. That price target implies 40% upside from Alphabet's close price on Monday.

"We think the current re-rating in GOOGL shares is 2/3rds of the way complete and is likely to grind to $1000+, hence remains our top pick," said Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Sandler in a note to clients.
A number of other brokerages raised their target above $1,000, including Bernstein Research ($1,050), RBC Capital Market ($1,000), and Mizuho Securities ($1,070), according to FactSet.

Other target increase came from Susquehanna Financial, to $950 from $875; Credit Suisse, to $930 from $900; Stifel, to $930 from $900; Pacific Crest, to $910 from $850; Barclays, to $900 from $800; Goldman Sachs, to $890 from $850; Morgan Stanley, to $880; Baird, to $880 from $780; and Wedbush Securities, to $830 from $800.
All but one of those brokerages reiterated stock ratings that are the equivalent to buy. The only exception was Wedbush, which raised estimates but kept to a neutral rating.

Shares of Alphabet rose more than 3% to $794 in high-volume trade Tuesday morning. Its market capitalization hit nearly $547 billion early in the session, versus Apple's $530.9 billion market cap. Apple's shares slipped 0.8% to $95.65 in recent trade.
While Alphabet separated out its experimental "moonshots" businesses for the first time since its reorganization, it was the core Google business that shined the brightest. Revenue for the division, which includes YouTube, ads, search, the cloud and Gmail, rose 18% year-over-year to $21.2 billion.
"Google's [fourth-quarter] results left little confusion around the strength of the core franchise," said Sandler. "There are few companies in global technology with $20B in quarterly revenue, consistently growing north of 20% ex-fx on top and bottom lines."

disclaimer: I bought puts
Investors are always looking for stocks that are poised to beat at earnings season and Wynn Resorts Ltd. WYNN may be one such company. The firm has earnings coming up pretty soon, and events are shaping up quite nicely for their report.
That is because Wynn Resorts is seeing favorable earnings estimate revision activity as of late, which is generally a precursor to an earnings beat. After all, analysts raising estimates right before earnings—with the most up-to-date information possible—is a pretty good indicator of some favorable trends underneath the surface for WYNN in this report.
In fact, the Most Accurate Estimate for the current quarter is currently at 81 cents per share for WYNN, compared to a broader Zacks Consensus Estimate of 74 cents per share. This suggests that analysts have very recently bumped up their estimates for WYNN, giving the stock a Zacks Earnings ESP of 9.46% heading into earnings season.
Why is this Important?
A positive reading for the Zacks Earnings ESP has proven to be very powerful in producing both positive surprises, and outperforming the market. Our recent 10 year backtest shows that stocks that have a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) or better show a positive surprise nearly 70% of the time, and have returned over 28% on average in annual returns (see more Top Earnings ESP stocks here).
Given that WYNN has a Zacks Rank #3 (Buy) and an ESP in positive territory, investors might want to consider this stock ahead of earnings. Clearly, recent earnings estimate revisions suggest that good things are ahead for Wynn Resorts, and that a beat might be in the cards for the upcoming report.
I need to really study these trades you make...
Meanwhile it looks like I killed it with my $780 GOOGL call
