Watch AAPL and PCLN tomorrow. Possible morning dip and then another run. AAPL has earnings coming out on the 24th. I remember 2 months ago they said earnings was going to be better than forecasted.
had a nice play on AAPL 595 call today 6.20 to 9.00 lately going by the 3 minute charts. Playing it safe.
VXX calls did me good for awhile, but not lately. Maybe the market's volatility will increase now? VXX could go up tomorrow even if the market is up..VXX measures ups and downs, the more frequent they are..the more vxx moves.
Anyone think its a good idea to go long on NUGT ? Seems that it likes to run up and down quite a bit..could be a nice bottom here.
Guys.
SMEV is dead. Let's face it. I have a decent amount of money in there, and i hope the stock wakes up one day and maybe we'll see it be a .50 or a dollar a share. Until then, learn to play options. Trade real stocks with real news real shares. Options is a good way to make money.
Good luck to all.
If DJIA can break 13,500 we may see GREEN days, maybe like the .com bubble days? Until then i am not aggressive on calls.
At the moment asian markets are down 1%. This could very well be a sign of an overdue pull back. We'll see what Friday has in store for us.
My view on the market is that it is way high and with vxx being this low its as if these are the days when dreams come true and people are buying again (consumer wise)
things are far from great. I am in silicon valley, ca and while people do make good money here most are still in fear or cautious so to say, i can only imagine how other areas of the country are where there is no jobs.
Thank you for a warm welcome.
I usually swing trade 2-4 days. Often times I go for a quick hitter 40% 50% profit on a quick run. For swing trades I aim for 100% to 200% return unless I think its time to get out.
I work in IT so im in front of the computer all day everyday. However this market has got me sidelined just a bit. I went long on VXX $22 call april21st. I am very surprised to see such low level of volatility in the market, it has to come to an end sometime..
I am also studying AAPL GOOG and PCLN to be day/swing trading. At this point like i mentioned earlier im slightly sidelined. I am waiting for the bears to attack as I really do not have the BULL view on the market and afraid to switch from bear mode to bull mode.
Looking forward to learning more and contributing to this forum.
Thanks for posting this. The more knowledge the better we are in this business.
I bought a put for PCLN on friday when it hit 668 level it was up already $10 from open. I figured there would be a pull back, obviously i was wrong..
Jimmy another great call. I am thinking about signing up to your chat. Only problem is that i trade from work and our FW policies do not allow streaming websites/applications. I am guessing CHat is streaming?
I also can't use my etrade pro due to FW policies so i have to rely on basic hit the refresh button.
I feel that trading in this market using a L2 is a must.
Asian stocks currently down. Tomorrow will be an interesting day.
Nice. Yes, AAPL has a long way to go. They are continuously gaining market share. To be honest, once more people start moving from PCs to MAC apple will go way far. I am personally frustrated with Windows and their flaws, my next laptop is a Mac, same goes for tablet and so fourth.
Don't quote me on this but I read somewhere that AAPL is supposed to hit $700 by end of the year, if not sooner, depends on economic conditions of course.
Likewise. Waiting for pull back on AAPL, analysts expect this stock to go much higher, but a pull back is supposed to happen. Depends on the market as well though.
Once AAPL does a pullback im going to be trading weeklies
picked up March 17th $26 call for .76c on LOD. Should be a good play. Wish i got into the AAPL 7 dollar run at EOD, good job to those that did.
I hear ya. I am a big fan of VXX calls and love to play them on the dip. Very rare that i buy PUTS on vxx, i just figured yesterday when it hit $26.20 it had to do a pull back to 25.70 or so.
On my watchlist AAPL calls after the dip. PUT for CF. VXX calls. Today, im really just watching.
and didnt you tell me that buying VXX puts yesterday was a bad idea? exactly..Made a good a profit on the pull back today. not entering VXX calls until $24.90 levels.
meanwhile, looking at CF and deciding when to buy a PUT stock is up quite a bit today, my question is how will tomorrow play out. CF has been downgraded to a sell rating i believe and it should not be near these levels $176 a share, but it seems that it may run to 180 before it truly dips again.
vix vxx are great plays esp when things are getting volatile and market is due for pull back. we should see VXX go down slightly tomorrow and then up from there.
Reason i say that, DJIA went down 203 points today, it has to go up tomorrow at least 40-80 points in early trading, as there usually is a bit of a rebound involved. Long term though, we should def see a pull back perhaps even to 11,500
goin into VXX weekly puts $25 put @ .34c VXX should see pull back when market rebounds by EOB today or for tomorrow.
FSLR possible rebound?? stock making new 52 week lows, who knows where the bottom is but whoever catches it on a rebound may benefit.
Congrats to all that are making money today..!! VXX call payed off nicely. in at .74 out at 1.20 over night.
question: WYNN had a nice pullback, any good entry points? I am thinking 115 116 if it goes there. Jimmy? Any one else with thoughts on wynn
got into VXX $26 call Mar17th for .74c
watched it all day and thought it was a good entry point. IMO things should get volatile real soon.
Well said. I will be doing research these days to prepare and will post stocks that I think will go down with the market.
The best way to be in this game is to be a few steps ahead.
UPB- Knowing that the market has been up drastically last 2 months, a pull back is well overdue.
What stocks should we be shorting when market begins the pull back?
I am def going to be playing VXX for calls when market falls, but what else is there we can benefit from when market falls?
Thanks in advance.
Jimmy-once PCLN hits 645 or so, is it a good time to go into PUTs?
Same goes for apple, there has to be a pull back..Please keep us updated on the PUT plays.
I believe that if we see dow jones tumble, many will follow..at this point i am starting to think of good PUT plays for when the market decides to do a pull back
Thanks Jimmy!
JB- you are right about risks. I had a great week and went too aggressive and lost the $2k+ i gained this week. Will be much more careful from now on.
Please keep us updated on the hot stocks that you are playing.
I am a rookie investor that is still learning options, really frustrated i lost my hard earnings from this week (and some of my own money) but it is a learning lesson and i will keep it in mind.
Moving forward...
I got my eye on BIDU (analysts expet 185 to 200 price target) also looking at DMND and SINA.
btw great play on PCLN! Any thoughts on AAPL? Will it go up again or dip to 490s and then run?
Have a great weekend folks!
Anyone made good $$ on Apple calls? Calls jumped from .20 cents to 4.50 on their $17 dollar run.
Got it. I am holding a Feb 18th $26 call on VXX. To be honest, i am surprised that the volitility hasnt jumped yet. IMO Market is way overpriced and is going higher on pure hype.
Waiting for market to have a correction.
Anyone playing "calls" on volatility futures?
hey guys i got $26 calls for Feb 18th on VXX. Since the market continues to climb im having 2nd thoughts on my decision- i was expecting market to have a pull back.
Any major plays to watch for this week?
With market currently being so high, VXX is waiting for the market to drop and go high. Options for the win on this one.
Amen. This is exactly how i feel. With this type of good product, they have to explode sometime.
I agree with you guys. It is skeptical that Heritage say they have not been doing business with SMEV since August yet they are still on their website..
I think they are just not telling us everything, i hope something big is in the making. Looking to start 2012 on a good note $$$
Guys,
If you think about it, it is better to have no news than weak/poofy news. I believe in 2012 SMEV will wake up and give us the run that we need. We will wait and see.
this company does not need a R/S. They should be able to pump this stock all the way to pennyland.
don't stress about it guys. They have a real product, a product that is great, soon the sun will shine on our street. i have 2 mil shares at .003 and it is a great price to have it at.
Waiting to hit .01+ mark. Stay positive and good things will happen
as much as i would want to be negative, if we look at SMEV's 5 year chart, they were 20 cents at one point. Perhaps we can see that happen sometime in the future?
We can only hope. I keep praying.
I hope the company will pay some promotional firm to pump their stock so we can all make some money and get out. I have once seen a stock pumped so hard it went from 5 cents to 2 dollars in 1-2 weeks it was amazing. Then the stock fell faster than it went up..lol
I hope the company executives see this. Company split was so efficient that stock still looks like a joke!! Share price is not going up, only thing you did was rob us investors.
Great job SUTID! Great job. I am cashing out my few hundred dollars and running as soon as i get a chance.
If GNTA breaks resistance levels we are going to the top, especially if the company continues to release good news. Should be a good ride, buckle up.
luckily i only put a few hundred dollars into this stock. Horrible reverse split, everything is just horrible about this. I am sorry to those that had a few to several thousand in it.
Best of luck to us all. Pennyland sucks!
hey guys been away for a little bit. It is sad to hear about Heritage and SMEV. However, this does not necessarily mean anything bad. It could have been financial terms disagreement.
Nonetheless, I am also holding my shares. This company has got to go sky high sooner or later. It is a great product but in this economy even gyms such as 24hr fitness or crunch (golds gym) most likely do not have the money or do not want to purchase $20k massage capsules.
The business will go up, or maybe they are just waiting for some healthcare company to buy their technology for roughly 10mil or more? Even if an acquisition like this happens we have got to see the stock go to 5 cents or so.
Just wanted to put in my 2 cents. Let's keep our fingers crossed.
I'm with you guys on this!! We can only hope to see some type of good news coming out soon, especially with their address change, something must be going on. They do have a great product so good things should be ahead.
