Just right Beer.
A fair amount green on AAPL, IWM, and GS calls.
None posted, been at the hospital with stops set. Trying to exit along in here.
...So why not ring the register !
I'm always with you on that.
Perfect (or too close to call) on your SPY July 1, 206 calls at 3.32 from 1.24, both entry and exit.
2.67 X
However, I am a bit surprised that you entered SPY 208 calls so late in the stock's daily advance. Que your strike is leaning toward selling.
But who am I to criticize such success? Might you be readying for an overnight hold for an expected early advance tomorrow?
Congrats, big time.
Last day of the quarter.
Andrews on lockdown. Shots fired.

Beerworld and farooq, hi
I hesitate to get into another "world" of information, but maybe this one from David Larew.
Way too much on the charts (pages and pages) except for selected ones. I frequently read/scan his Daily Commentary better than RCKS. He refers to page five charts in that Commentary today.
I look in on him and certain charts from time to time. There are days when the list of attractive scalp prospects are poor and time may be well spent elsewhere.

Beer. That's one of the reasons I (learned long ago) try to stay away from getting into a big loss that requires doing something(s) that I am psychology weak at doing.
Frankly, I have sometimes tried to follow your and smartone's averaging down and maybe back up. But it's work that I doubt that will ever help me much if any and I just don't want to waste the time. Also, it's really difficult to surmise the real prices of some of the makeup trades.
Beer, hi.
Helluva play on your AMZN calls from yesterday at 2.65 and off today at 6.90

Hope you are regularly putting back some for the IRS.
Edit: I can't keep up with all your trades, but don't miss many of them. Thanks for sharing. It is very helpful.

Beer, nice persistence holding AMZN 705 calls from deep under water yesterday to your +27% gain at today's sale.
Nat gas keeps rising . Anyone???
I sure don't know where gas fits into things this week.
I'm just trying to keep a few scalps, either puts or calls, maybe 25% if I can get it.
Trying AAPL and TSLA puts, but not just yet.
WTI is down another two and a ha'f percent today. $46.33.
50 bucks a few days recently encouraged three more rigs to cut rocks in the Permian Basin. Some of what they are doing is going into old and abandoned vertical holes and tie in horizontal lines for fracking. Less cost and quicker return. More talk of that for certain kinds of rocks, maybe several hundred such prospects pretty ready.
Four green puts scalps closed today:
FB 108 puts +30%
AAPL 91 puts +23%
TSLA 185 puts +14%
IWM 109 puts +67%
Another TSLA 185 puts attempt still open, under water 31%. Poor entry and subsequent poor control. May hold overnight.

I'm suspicious of Musk's talk. Not especially today, but right or wrong, it doesn't strike me as well based fundamentally.
The Solar City deal was one that is questionable. But I'm not a good fundamental analyst, so careful anyway. The stock can go either way with little warning.

smartone; You may be right on FB calls. 5-minute indicators look to be in oversold.
Tempting to sell my FB 108 puts
Tried NFLX July 1, 85 puts but no dice. Too weak on the bid.

"More to come."

Long article, requiring substantial thought. For those who might be seriously interested.
Tiny partial:
At present, investors can expect a conventional portfolio mix of 60% S&P 500, 30% Treasury bonds, and 10% Treasury bills to return only about 1.6% annually over the coming 12-year period. This situation is likely to provoke a broadening pension crisis in the years ahead, due to the combination of underfunding and capital losses over the completion of the market cycle.
