It is very strange.....
CAT... talk about selling the news....
Trump was on giving a briefing with the French guy right around that time... Nothing really market moving though... NK, blah, blah, blah.....
Well, I still have ‘em =)
I think that was actually TechniTrends call..... I’m assuming made a typo on his 1st trading range post....
Anyway, I did get some puts not long after open... Wed $265p @ .35. I won’t be able to trade much for a while, so I’m playing small
I went in for a secret put scoop earlier...... couldn’t post it at the time.....
Wed $265p @ .35 Just playing small pos’s if I have the opportunity=)
Sorry... you said you expect a trading range of 267.33 - 267.79, that’s tight. Was wondering if you meant 266.33 - 267.79
Spend, spend, spend everyone!! Lol
Consumer Confidence @ 128.7 in Apr vs 126 expected
Mine is working ok on the iHub app. I had to turn off the extended hours though...
Trading range of *$266.33?
CAT to da mooooon!
OMG imi... that’s brutal!!
CAT earnings killed it.. $2.82 vs $2.13.... This is a big DOW driver.... and SPY likes to follow....
I sat down to read a book to the munchkin while watching SPY. Got a phone call and it was all downhill from there! Ah well.
My puts last Fri expired worthless. And today we get a nice tanky. Ugh.
Looks like I’ll be out of the game for a while. Gotta get my granny into assisted living then clean out and sell her house. I’m so tired =(
I don’t usually use stop losses on options..... Guess I should start. Ya never know when the phone’s gonna ring....
Aaaaand a few mins after I opened my trade, I got a family emergency phone call.... I just got back... to worthless puts. Figures!
What the heck. BTO Fri $267c @ .45. Looking for a scalp, tight leash
I think maybe I’ll just wait until power hour to play...?
Missed my chance for calls!!
Hahaha!! Just checking in & saw your post, lol. I’m on the sidelines atm.... I’m looking at calls, but I’m a bit shy right now...
I think Trump ultimately walks away untouched..... He’s gonna throw everyone else under the bus to save himself...family included!
Hmmmmm...... We already knew that... Trump is a “subject” but not a “target”, although, subjects can turn into targets very quickly!
He goes back on his word constantly... But, I think he knows his presidency would be dead if he touches Mueller, so maybe he knows better on this one!
True..... wasn’t thinking about that... You could clearly see the Algo’s starting to fight =)
Well, if he ends up firing him, I’m going all in with puts!
And the market believes him??? Hahahah!!
The DOW shot up like 100 pts in a min!
OMG! What just happened!?
K... giving calls a shot... BTO Fri $269.50c @ .41.... Small pos
I’d like to BTFD at some point..... but I’m scured, lol
Lolzzzzzz....... I <3 SPY
Out of my Fri $268p @ .83 from .62
Bowing out of my puts here...
Looks like SPY failed to hold the 50 dma at abt $268.48ish. Selling tends to be over between 12:15 - 12:45... Got my finger on the sell button!
Keeping an eye on how SPY handles the 100 dma at abt $268.86ish.... If it looks like it’s gonna provide support, then gonna ditch my puts while they’re green!
Yeah, I got some puts on the sly while making breakfast, lol....
Fri $268p @ .62
It is nice that earnings season is running the market atm instead of politics. Like a breath of fresh air, lol.
Yeah, it was a small pos, boredom trade. I dumped @ .10. Ramen for dinner tonight, lol. I wanted to make 20% on the trade, had a chance for abt 55%, didn’t sell, ended up with a loss.
I’m changing strategy starting today. I plan the trade and then don’t trade the plan if it’s going my way. The problem with trading SPY is that the direction can change so darn fast. I need to trade the plan!!!
