Morning Mateys - Make today good!

I've gotta run already, early for me, lol. Could be a good bounce back up from the 'Inflation Tantrum' this morning. Watch your Charts :)

TV

Herman!!

He's sleeping it off and like Sting - having a 'Dream of the Blue Turtles'

Gonna take the dog out - A) Before the snow gets worse

B) Can't get a read on how to trade. Things are too choppy and volatile right now. Good luck guys, good time to batten down the hatches and take some shore leave, hehe

I've been unable to trust our trusty Scans this week

Things are definitely not behaving normally. We'll have to see if the dust settles on this ....

Normal first hour zaniness - this week has had that all day

Don't blink, you'll miss a turn around, hah!

Good morning Kim and everyone :)

Good stuff, Kim, glad to hear that! Keep both eyes on the Chart and see what it tells us. VXX puts, maybe?

Carlo Roberts - yes, Rolling them over is a great idea if they are currently up and you still want to hold them. You said they are no bid, so I guess that is your only choice other than expiry :)

Good luck Mateys!!

Crazy, did exact same thing yesterday

Wish I had free powder...!

Thanks Sam, have a good one!

Arrrr Mateys, I'm in the studio all day

Checking (silently) when I could but it seems like the shenanigans may be over.
Sam I hear you, stocks have been nuts this week.

Caught me off guard, but this correction brings us to the topic of using The Chart and Scans to play downward momentum safely and correctly.

We want to sail this beautiful Pirate ship in smooth and stormy waters :)

Cheers everyone, hope you are feeling as good as possible!

TV

Very quick back and forth on everything

Oh yes I have that saved. I just need to practice it more :)

That's a keeper, for sure :)

I've been using the 2 day, 10 minute most of the time but I see what you mean with the 5 minute

Oops I forgot to change it to 1 day

Never mind, hah. Interesting view, more exaggerated

That's hard to read! Lol

For that kind of time frame, do you watch the side bar more? It's easier to make out

Fascinating, Volatile day out there: What do you guys like?

I'm watching VXX Puts (SHout out to Global!) and QQQ Calls

they are soooo overpriced, tho

I hear ya :)

It was a very good day for Puts in almost anything, and VXX - wow

Hope you're feeling better and you have some time today; I will be glued to my screens and charts!

Morning Captain Sam!

Holy KaMoly!

That's still a nice ride from .30!

Wow look at it go -- I sold waaaaaaaay too early

... Once again. Stupid day job, always getting in the way

People are getting scared, VXX is spiking up even more

Thx Sand, you too :)

VXX gapped up, did well on those. Already sold, nice $

I meant to keep them longer, but I can always buy some more.
When optimism and irrational exuberance return, VXX may sink again :)

Lol, I was worried about you when the Pats took that brief lead

Good stuff, it was a great Final.

I don't watch a lot of football -- the game last night was exciting :)

You rest up, Kim. I think Sam will also be a bit on the sore side today

Morning Sam and all!

Crazy game, the Eagles were impressive :)

Yayyyy Eagles!

That was a serious hail Mary at the end...

Eagles, baby! Have a good one, Sam

Nice work!

Yes VXX DI+ dropped down below main line about 5 min ago.
Sho nuff it is falling

I'll be clutching my VXX Calls :)

Yes thx Sam, AAPL doesn't always react normally

I made a bundle off of the NFLX good E/R last week. Ah well, AAPL is already bouncing back, and this is more gambling than typical Pirate Plundering using the Charts :)

AAPL getting killed - Reverse STP!

Hey Sam, ok you've got some time.

Hope you can enjoy this weekend, in the meantime :)

Gotta watch those AAPL calls like a hawk today

Yeah I saw that, up and down, yo yo options

AAPL seems to be fairly upbeat news

PPS is bouncing around, but trending upward for now

Any green this week is welcome! $$

Thanks Sam, nothing expected until 16:30ish

Steroids, wow. I hope they work, and that you don't have to use them for too long.

Lol, fingers crossed for AAPL to blow it outta the water!
I picked up 3 calls as well .... Let's go!
