FebOE Stuff?
As Jim Carrey exclaimed in the movie Dumb and Dumb-r, “Wow, we we’re WAY Off”, LOL, and instead of topping out and heading South-bound da-Boyz appear to have a entirely different agenda, COOL!?
We made the adjustment rather quickly and increased our long plays to compensate for our short positions we added to play the move down to tag the S5, 42.52!? In addition we managed to post $2.12 in daily gains to increase our posted OE profits to $35.16, COOL!
We now have a Guillotine Head-Press on the Q’s at 43.75 and we’ll be printing Money on a move to 45.00 OR a move to 43.00! This should come as NO Surprise since our Charter calls for us being Both Long/Short at the same time and we did NOT disappoint as the closing bell rang on Monday!
We’ll UN-Wind said Feb47 and Feb48 puts that we sold short as price moves higher. We’ll do the same with the Feb44 calls we bought yesterday! In addition we increased our Feb45 call position from a QUAD to a Double QUAD or in translation we now have 80 Feb45 call contracts with an average cost basis of 1.115 (40 @ 2.03 and 40 @ .20)! This will form a BRICK Wall up at 45.00 and allow us to exit our Feb44 calls along with buying back our Feb47 and Feb48 puts we sold short!?
In summary, we are controlling tens of thousands of shares with hundreds of Open put and call options and this week portends GREAT profits as we UN-wind these positions! And in the Spirit of da-Boyz, we anticipate their AWESOME ability to Manipulate prices into our Profit-Zone!
We’ve spent Massive amounts of money buying and configuring these pawns, bishops, and knights and are now in a position to PLAY with da-BOYZ in a otherwise FORBIDDEN venture, PLAY-ing Options with ONLY FOUR days left to expiration, WOW-za, DO NOT try this at HOME Game-Players as you WILL go SERIOUSLY BROKE, LOL!
Btw ALL, there are MANY Prognosticators and EVERYone has an opinion, good for them! But we be here to make YOU Money and could care less about being Right or Wrong, as a matter of fact, we be wrong plenty of times but being able to ascertain said "Wrong-ness" is our specialty, and being able to hedge said probable "Wrong" outcome is in our Charter! Therefore we go forward every day posting our trades in Real time, many times in advance using price triggers, then add-em up each day, then tallying the Final Numbers to confess for ALL to see the Good , da-Bad, and da-Ugly!
OE Pivot, 45.35, close on 18Jan
High, 45.88, up 1.2% (New High, 01Feb)
Low, 41.61, dn -8.2% (Posted 23Jan)
Close, 44.07, dn -2.8%
Spread, 3.16
PM, 9.4%
We start today with the following Open OE Port positions:
Short positions (expecting the Q’s to go Down), controlling 24k shares
Feb41 puts at 0.180, (QUAD), bought long
Feb42 puts at 0.565, (QUAD), bought long
Feb43 puts at 0.40, (QUAD), bought long
Feb44 puts at 1.165, (QUAD), bought long
Feb40 calls at 2.88, (QUAD), sold short
Feb42 calls at 2.03, (QUAD), sold short
Long positions (expecting the Q’s to go Up), controlling 36k shares
Feb43 calls at 2.66, (QUAD), bought long
Feb44 calls at 0.54, (QUAD), bought long
Feb45 calls at 1.115, (80 contracts), bought long
Feb45 calls at 0.20, (QUAD), bought long, add on 11Feb
Feb46 calls at 0.32, (QUAD), bought long
Feb47 calls at 0.14, (QUAD), bought long
Feb48 calls at 0.05, (QUAD), bought long
Feb48 puts at 3.65, (QUAD), sold short
Feb47 puts at 2.975, (QUAD), sold short
This gives us a Net Long da-Q's bias going into today and we'll use said Bias to play intraday Short plays to protect our Core positions and to post gains in an effort to minimize our pending losses on Open Positions.
These intraday plays are strategic in nature and will help us post profits that will off-set our losses incurred during this OE period as we HOLD Core positions indefinitely (see below side notes, Pending Gains/Loses)!
DCB (Dead Cat Bounce or NOT)
It’s TIME to expect a DCB of meaning and we fully expect the OE pivot, 45.35, to be taken out this week with the R1, 45.92 being target Number ONE! We’d NOT rule out an extension this week to tag the R2, 46.48, before the smoke clears!
We posted good gains yesterday as we traded in and/or out of Both puts and/or calls intraday and unloaded for same day profits. Hence our FebOE profits increased by $2.12 to $35.16 as we started the day with $33.04 in profits!
These posted profits are impressive but don’t forget we have many wounded soldiers still on the battlefield (pawns, bishops, and Knights) bleeding RED numbers everywhere, especially as we get closer to the OE and the delta shrinks up into a wie, sorry Michelle, small amount, see “Pending Gains/Losses” below!
Those gains are actually quite good since most of our gains usually come a couple weeks into the OE period. Mostly just positioning our pawns, bishops, and knights during the first couple weeks so it’s a bonus to post modest profits already!
Btw…if you don’t play Chess then I suggest you STOP trading Immediately and go learn da-Game, da-Chess game dat is! But don’t stop dare, stay away until you can actually BEAT someone at Chess. Otherwise, as most players who read to learn vs. actual experience, you’ll have learned just enough to lose your SorryAsskie life Savings, Get-it, Got-it, GOOD!
Side note (Pending Gains/-Losses):
These gains/losses will post when positions are removed and/or expire!

Net gain/-loss pending for above open positions at the close = $-27.26
This pending gain/-loss(s) is dependent on our ability to navigate this OE period with the utmost precision in regard to da-Boyz! Not to worry, we suspect da-OEPM factor will shed some light on da-Boyz and their Footprints of meaning (True intentions), LOL!?
Gain/-Loss History:
JanOE, $10.40 (up 20.2%, $10.40 into 51.85 = 20.2%)
FebOE, $7.90 (35.16 -27.26) (if liquidated at the Close)
