Still holding Sept 13 243 puts, still underwater (-50%), but patiently waiting.

Given that the markets are influenced by almost everything and SPY is a collective ETF based on or given direction by the markets I'd say most is fair game. However, only when relating to a discussion about the index or stock. No spamming about political beliefs, but talking about how trump is doing this or that while having input as to how it may change or drive SPY I'd say is okay.

Yeah but they don't expire until Sept 13, who knows what'll happen by then. A lot of potential things to drop the market between now and then. News says NK to test another Nuke on their Freedom day this weekend.

But, you're right I don't think we'll see NK news tonight.

Still holding my puts, but you're right tomorrow could be a big up, all depends on what happens with NK.

Nice finally broke even on my Sept 13 243 puts

NK sixth nuclear test may have just happened as a 5.6 magnitude earthquake was detected in NK

NK says it has developed Advanced Hydrogen Bomb

What if the hurricane or these two hurricanes were the start of this recession?

Doubtful and purely speculative, and further compounded by issues with the White House, maybe. Would be interesting if this turned out to be a Black Swan later. I doubt this will have that much of an impact on the economy though.

The day when BAC has more volume than SPY. Blah.

Shocking, trying to keep their market up any way possible.

Not good news, but it looks like SPY is shaking it off for the most part now. I'd sell at open, but thats just me and my opinion. I do have puts so bias.

We'll see it is slowly falling.....and there it goes back up rallying on bad numbers.

Meh I've got my sept 13 243 puts just in case, probably not long enough but I expect us to drop next week.

Yeah it is, sadly bought mine a little too early, now it looks a lot better though.

Yeah they're not wanting it to drop.

Was out sick yesterday, was thinking today was Wednesday SMH.

This has to be for the long term though into October, before November. Just looking at the past months it does look like the pattern is substantially different than in weeks past. Maybe due to current events.

It is green Wednesday, but the rug has to be pulled eventually.

It's had in the past, it'd go from .0002 or .0003 to .0010 or so based on news. It takes time, I've been watching it since 2013-2014.

I won't put another penny in OTC stocks. Got burned on another stock that is essentially a scam like most. Now its about options, which even if I lose money on, I still have a better shot than penny stocks.

I absolutely agree that buying at .0006 is a waste unless somehow its pumped to at least .0012. That probably wont happen.

Early on just a short time ago or whenever this does drop to .0002 is your chance to load up on millions of shares. Otherwise you're wasting your time.

Green green futures, maybe we ride back to 248 this week. Fears apparently are even less now that trump and Kim talked about the missile launch.

Sadly I did and sold for a small loss as I didn't hold. Got to impatient, had Sept 1 245 calls @.56. Ohh well.

Yeah you were wise to, I held mine a little after to see the direction and gave up an additional 100% gain, still made double.

I waited a little too long to sell.

Well looks like futures took another turn to the down when euro opened, dollar also down.

Futures started turning around 11:15 pm PT, like someone literary flipped a switch. S&P currently at .43% down.

Oh I have VIX call and puts I bought at EOD AH, I'm more than happy to see a crash and burn tomorrow.

Futures are already coming back down, as usual they'll probably turn green overnight into the morning. Unless trump tweets or something else happens.

Yeah that's another reason I bought puts, the usual volume didn't seem to be there before AH, then wham the other half was AH. Found it strange.

They're trying to push this back up so hard with those large bids. Think they do that then sell off as the bid is pushed higher. Don't know if this is all retail or mixed.

True test will be when the market opens and depending on what happens tonight if anything.

If nothing else comes (tweets or another missile) I think It'll recover by morning. Volume is drying up again so I'm sure It'll be driven back up.

Wow next leg down maybe, missile path was similar to planes path from Japan to US.

It flew over the Northern Island of Japan and landed in the Pacific Ocean.
Who knows what their intent was or where they wanted it to go,
doubt they wanted it to breakup though.

Initially they didn't know where it was going just that it was over Japan, so that was the concern. Now its still in Japanese territory in the Pacific, but I think the concern is what the worlds nation powers will do in response.

Tagged 242.97 AH, looks to be bouncing back now, as people probably by the dip.

Missile landed in Japanese waters after breaking up into three pieces. Market may start recovering, however, we'll see how Trump takes it and what's said.

Yeah glad I bought those puts now and still have my VIX calls for wed at 14.

Then again, we could recover in minutes and even be green tomorrow morning, who knows.

We'll see, may recover by tonight or tomorrow morning depending on what the missile turns out to be and if it hits anything. Already bouncing back to 243.63 now.

NK missile headed to Japan. Update: NK Missile flew over Japan, as expected AH is recovering.

SPY Drops AH

Wow

Bought some 244 sept 1 puts
