Almost all of my friends got laid off. Many of them bought houses recently and working in odd jobs can't pay off mortgages . . really sad.
East / West coast is still doing fine (until the global economy tanks) but AB is in a recession. News media doesn't print it coz of the upcoming elections.
Sold half of my DWTI at close (230s). Still holding all of my UWTI (more buy orders at 0.50).
People here in AB, Canada are in a panic mode . . province's economy is based entire on crude!
It going down for sure, but I bought (and will buy more) for the long run. The same thing happened to me with HALO . . I knew the play so I bought it till the bottom and it payed off well for me.
I am not able to trade actively like you guys so I play like this now.
I see that you changed the ATS girl after my humble suggestion!
So it was you . .
'Work' as in I work for myself!
I am playing both sides (UWTI and DWTI).
My DWTI went kaboom over the last few days. Buying since 140s. Not buying anymore - would be selling from now on in layers.
I bought some more UWTI around 1.20 and then today in the 0.7s (will buy more around 0.50 if it gets there to bring down my average).
For the USOIL (WTI Crude) the next extension levels (for bounce) are around 37.50 and (if that breaks) then 30.00.
For crude in general (I am in the oil business), 60 will be the new 100. Some more blood on the street and then it will stabilize - At work (Me & partners own engg. firm) we have shifted from oil & gas clients to safety & testing operations which are more stable in these times.
I also had SPXS on my watch - though of buying around the 18s - saw the market today and opportunity is already gone - S&P and Dow getting hammered - All the algos selling like crazy.
I am buying more UWTI as oil tanks.
I sold my HALO stock today. Held over a year, big payday for me.
Sold today $19.60. This was a long one for me.
GLTA
I'm averaging about 2.50 on UWTI (bought over 3 - 4 layers).
1.80 might not be the bottom - I am in the oil sector - Might have another nasty plunge before going north - But in the long run, the risk:reward is great imo - My risk is my entire position - Reward is about 6x.
For long term holds its very hard to overcome fear. I lost 3g (option bet) on NBG last year. Took 3 positions in HALO (Had 1k shares at 13.00, its a good stock I know will go up, then bad news hit last year and the damn thing tanked, I bought 2k more around 8.00, now up about 15g now, holding). I am gonna buy SPXS in layers over the next 6 months or so (China has a big credit issue, will affect markets here imo soon).
I am doin great, thx.
Been busy with work - Don't post here!
Swing trading - Options (AAPL, SPX & some popular tickers).
Long term hold - UWTI (3x crude long) bought a few months back / plan to hold into next year - HALO (holding since last year, may sell around $20+) - Gonna buy SPXS (3x bear) in sometime (markets undecisive)
Didn't get your backyard grill reference ?
Check out Jordan Carver. How have you guys been ? Long time
Looks like the girl of the month hasn't changed in over a year!
I currently have no positions. Last trade was $180 to $230 when this wave began.
It's currently in wave 3 - IF it can break and hold above $270 with volume, THEN next target is $320s - ELSE possible support around $220.
Good that it's working out well for you. GL
I am back in with a 1/2 position: 1000 x $13.51
Regarding this situation in Ukraine - If tension lingers on, how serious of an effect can it have on the indices from your experience ?
I know the markets are a bit red today coz of that.
For big board players - Markets are down due to the Ukraine situation - Will eventually present good entry opportunities

Regarding this point of yours
Actually I made an error - My earlier stop was at 14.40 - I somehow thought I had raised it to 15.40 but I didn't - Just realized that, lol.
Anyways, made some coin on it - A lil upset coz I was up over 6g on it yesterday and I actually made just above 4g.
Now looking for the next setup
FB is pulling back like I thought it would yesterday

Exits 1000 shares at 16.10 (yesterday) and 1000 shares at 14.40 (today).
Almost a 3 week hold for little over $4000 in profit (I was up above 6g yesterday - DAMN I held half thru the earnings)

Hey . . I m fine. How are you doin ?
Are you invested in HALO ?
Being profitable wasn't expected, but sometimes they announce 'other' milestones / etc which investors see as 'favorable' . . giving the PPS a boost! Also, I remember from the last time, the stock had badly retraced just before the earnings . . which wasnt the case this time.
I am still holding half of my position and will probably buy back the other half at a favorable opportunity . . swing trading till we have volatility.
I am glad that I sold half of my shares and locked in some $$$$. The earnings lotto didnt work out very well it seems now. Eventually I expect HALO to move up . . I am still holding the other half.
I saw . . but I keep busy with work so I cant play all of them.
Position update: I just sold half of my HALO shares (realized $3000 profit) and am holding the other half (another $3000 unrealized profit) thru the earnings (Today AH).
I just sold half of my HALO shares (realized about $3000 in profit). Holding the other half (another $3000 unrealized profit) thru the earnings.
This was my longest hold I think . . I keep busy at work so I have become a more 'patient' trader now, lol.
Those other Baker Bros tickers also did very well (both are up over 100% in the past few months) . . I didnt play much though.
Good luck Fritz. You are a long term holder . . hopefully HALO should reward you very well. If an acquisition happens, it would be better if it happens much later (for long term holders like yourself) . . the higher the PPS (plus about 10-20% premium)
I sold half of my HALO shares (1000) at 16.10 (locked in about $3000 in profits).
Holding another 1000 shares thru the earnings.
Was holding from 13.12 (link back)
I just sold half of my shares at 16.10
Holding the other half thru the earnings.
In fact I came to that same conclusion. Leme load up the L2 and see what's going on
I am also guessing that FB will present a good re-entry opportunity for option players within the next few trading session (small pull back is on the cards before the next leg up).
Thanks Azy. I must mention that from the GRPN chart, I calculated just a bounce . . chart is weak, I dont believe it will regain strength (unless things change fundamentally) . . its UP over a buck from its bottom, I'd recommend taking profits for those who picked up those cheapies.
I remember the last earnings pop and I kept cursing myself for not having shares (actually I had but I sold the day before I think).
Kind of a tough call for me today . . lets see, I am flipping back and forth in making up my find. I have 2000 shares from 13.12 . . so I am up over $5500. I am gonna decide in sometime.
Good luck to all holding.
