Trade Journal for Dummies(LOL)!
Using DOWN action to Sell Apr34 puts with REckless abandon!
Wow, we were, well, Wayyyyy Offfffffffffff, LOL, we expected a GAP up and then a Crash-n-Burn, instead da-Boyz GAP-R Down and initiate a "Compulsive, Cascading, Waterfall, Discount-Wave and we think we're gonna LIKE IT!?
We expect the GAP down to NOT be filled, then a test of the Break-Out, 31.68 with a Bounce, then we violate 31.68 on the down-side and make a RUN for the Island Beach at 31.23 and see if we can Catch-a-Wave of Meaning, or NOT, LOL!

Boyz, you are Awesome at dis-GAME and we kinda LIKE IT, NICE!!
Posted Friday with the "Update" post:
And what a week and Four weeks it has been, up 5.0% for the week and up 26.4% since the YTD low posted on 09Mar. I know it’s pretty much impossible to accept it but we’re going higher folks, MUCH higher!
Here’s the implications for da-Bears, we got down to a -14.2% for the Year with the 25.63 posting, that’s down -14.2% from the YTD Pivot, 29.86, hence, we should expect at least a +14.2% up move.
We can do what Other TA, Chart, Fibs or Lies play-ar’s can Not do, we have a static YEAR-lee Pivot, 29.86, that we can use to extrapolate future price, howz dat for “Inside Information”, who are we and why are we here, to DUP da-Boyz, what Else, LOL!
Using our proprietary system we can prognosticate, with authority, and we LIKE IT! We simply take 29.86 x 1.142 and we get our expected upmove completion number, 34.10, how freakin sweet is dat!? Btw… dat’s a 33% up move off the 25.63 low and well within the confines of Bear-Market rallies and maybe even selling ourselves short, pun intended, if this is sumptin bigger like a New Bull Market launching, huhh, Get a Grip on yourself, NOT!!?
But wait, dare’s MORE, LOL, if our extrapolations are of a meaningful nature, well, then we can also expect the 29.86 to HOLD on any pull-back!? Obvious-lee a move back down to 29.86 will be a -7.5% move, but more importantly is that a move from 29.86 up to 34.10 will be a 14.2% up move and we gonna be dare to extract coins from da-Boyz as they Rape-n-Pillage more 401k, Investment, and Ole Ladies/Widow-r’s Pension funds, Sweeeeeeeet!
Let’s recap because dis is Big Stuff here Campers, we have in our possession, the actual Targets for BOTH a pull-back AND continuation up, dis is BIG Stuff and we MUST recognize the significance of their prognosticating powers!
That said, do NOT get all Gidy and stop sleeping at night as you consider what you’re gonna do with all the Coins your gonna extract knowing dis-stuff, oh boy, sighhhh! Instead, devise a plan of meaning and “stick to it”!!
In other words, a disciplined, taking on CASH and Profits, approach will take you dare, well, if you dare go where MANY play-ar’s have gone before you and gotten dare Coins taken away dat is, LOLOLOLOL!
