I’m looking at SHOP up 12+% rt now, and AMZN earnings are out after hours.    I like AMZN calls rt now.  Think 1800-1820 strikes

  • That's why I'm out. There is no end game, IMO. This has to be fixed outside of the market and I got too nervous about what that entails for retail investors. They will always be last on the list, if o

I agree. AMZN just bounced off its resistance at 1660 yesterday and should have a solid earnings

You, Kyle, and Sushihorn are probably still shorting netflix

Lol. Sushi is why I got rid of my NFLX position many years ago. You know, before than ran up 2100%.

Then again, Sushi was also why I got out of most of my stocks when DJIA was at 12,000, instead of riding it down to 6,000.

What are your thoughts on LUV? Down 7% today while the other airlines are up.

Are they being punished for the warning they posted? Or are they just the first to admit future increased operating costs?

For the record, I have never discussed shorting netflix or any other stock.

AMZN on Fire!!  Higher than yesterday’s highs.   This could trade up to 52WH tomorrow if they absolutely blowout 

I think FANGs are expensive. I see a rotation into defensive stocks and expect selling of growth stocks.

They could be, but they all just pulled back 10-20% and are slaughtering their earnings/raising guidance.  I'm saying it right now, I think yesterday was a short term bottom in the market and we push back to ATH by the end of Q4 and this bull market rides for at least another 18 months (barring any black swan event).

Let me put it this way. Institutional investors are taking their profits and deploying into defensive, undervalued stocks is what I am hearing...

Some are, some aren't.  There's a bunch of really good Twitter handles that enable you to read through 13F filings pretty quickly, and across broad spectra.  For every person I've read going towards value or defensive names, there's 3 saying there is no value in value, and it's too early for defensive.    

 

That's not to say that those people are right or wrong, just what I've seen.   

 

And yes, if Goldman comes out and starts issuing buy ratings on FAANG or sell ratings on Defensive names, I'm probably reevaluating my thoughts.

Ya, we will see who is priced right in the next few months...I still think AAPL will be one that holds well.

AMZN down 6% and GOOG down 4% after reporting earnings. Combined that's enough to be a decent drag on the Nasdaq tomorrow.

AMZN after the bell tomorrow and they are gonna blow out.

Nailed it!

Per my Yahoo Finance feed it said AMZN reported earnings per share of $5.75 on revenue of $56.6 billion and Bloomberg expected $3.14 per share and $57.07 billion of revenue.  It also said that the forward looking guidance was lower than expectations.  Still, they killed the earnings per share expectation and just missed the revenue number.  It seems to me that the forward looking guidance is the cause.

Yep 

amzn down 9% . Good to buy Dec or Jan calls as Trey said at about 1800 or 1850. 

Forward 4th qtr guidance of $66.5B-$72.5B vs consensus expectations of $73.8B. The low side of their guidance would be a fair deviation from expectations. Also last years Q4 revenue was $60.5B (38% gain from previous year), so the low side of guidance would be a big slowdown in growth.

Personnally I believe they will crush Q4 revenue as they make it so fucking easy to holiday shop.

An actual legit guidance range from AMZN?  I remember back in the day when they would give a stupid range like "Our Q3 revenues are expected to be somewhere between $0 and $1,000,kabillion."

Q3 GDP first look:   3.5% vs 3.3% expected.    Wow.

Good gloss from Yahoo finance, of all places ends with very high quality take from Shepherdson:

Quote

Personal consumption grew by 4% during the third quarter, better than the 3.3% pace expected by economists and faster than the 3.8% pace of consumption seen during the second quarter.

In its release, the BEA said, “The increase in real GDP in the third quarter reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures (PCE), private inventory investment, state and local government spending, federal government spending, and nonresidential fixed investment that were partly offset by negative contributions from exports and residential fixed investment. Imports, which are a subtraction in the calculation of GDP, increased.”

Government spending rose at a pace of 3.3% during the third quarter, the fastest since the first quarter of 2016. Nonresidential fixed investment, which broadly captures business spending, grew at a pace of just 0.8% during the third quarter, the slowest since the fourth quarter of 2016. The build in inventories, which many economists had expected to see during the quarter, rose at the fastest pace since 2015.

Bloomberg’s U.S. chief economist Carl Riccadonna said following the report that, “The composition of growth in the third quarter has some important implications. The economy has reverted back to the `same old’ model of consumers accounting for most of the growth. Supply-siders will be disappointed to see business fixed investment essentially stalling out after a robust first half.”

In Riccadonna’s view, unless there are more tax or another change in fiscal policy, growth in the second and third quarter’s appears to be boosted by a “sugar high” from tax cuts rather than creating a new path for economic growth.

Ian Shepherson, an economist at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said of Friday’s report, “In one line: Strong GDP growth hides soft capex and massive trade deterioration.”

 

Well my SNAP puts are going gangbusters. I regret jumping out of my SPY PUT position, but cash in hand is better than cash on paper and I still turned about a 70% profit on the option lol

A lot of Capex spending is tied to rates.  As they increase, capital expenditures are going to slow.  We are seeing that live (Shit, look at the housing starts #'s we see every month).  Fed should be eyeing a plateau here for a bit.

I don't think they will or can, for two reasons: First, the Fed has already signalled multiple times that a december rate hike was on the way, inluding statements made by Richard Clarida yesterday. Second, given unprecedented criticism of the Fed by the president the governors are likely concerned for the credibility of the institution as a nonpolitical actor.

We are in for at least one more hike, I bet.

No doubt they're raising in Dec.

Gonna be a fun time to buy calls soon. But I'm also v biased in favor of AMZN so don't listen to what I say lol. I think it won't go any lower than 1400, but it's been flirting with being oversold for all of October. If it goes below $1500 it's gonna be quite the buying opportunity.

Yeah, but 25% off highs is a pretty drastic trade for a company growing like Amazon still is.  Now trading at 30 2020 estimated earnings.  That's pretty damn attractive

The 1560 area is a 23.8 pullback from the ATH.  Pretty key level.  

I have some basic questions . I have started to dabble a bit in some individual stocks and have had some success (luck). Mostly it is with amazon . Bought at 1702 and sold 1785. Bought 1615. Sold at 1670. All of this in the past week. My question is how are support and resistance levels calculated. I have found some online but are they accurate? Are these levels reliable ? Is there a site you can direct me to that has these values ? My next question is I have heard of buy walls. Is there a site that shows volume of These orders. Say a buy wall at 20k for the Dow Jones. Or a strong buy wall for the nasdaq at 7000? I am currently on the sidelines but have been strongly thinking of investing not only short but long term (1 year or so) lately. Thanks

ive shorted one of the new fangled kiddiegram internet stocks.  hold my beer.

Yes.  there is a website that tells you accurately and reliably support and resistance levels, so you'll know precisely and unfailingly what are the floor and ceiling prices of a security.  

And 6% of the time, it works every time.

Truthfully, most of the support and resistance and pivot point info people say are just highly educated guesses based on past trends, market forces, and correlating different calculated signals. I personally use barchart.com since they have a "traders cheat sheet" (here's Amazon's for example) and I like their charting tools and it's free. 

I would buy amzn at 1500 right now but I’m scared to death of fb earnings after the bell. I mean seriously the stocks just can’t go down to 0 in 1 session ..... right? I guess it’s that plus the 2% eu tax on revenue and the new China tariffs that scares me a little right now . I think I’m gonna pass for today...

I was in a meeting most of the afternoon; it's days like this that convince me that the market is against me ... days when big moves happen and I'm not able to track or trade.
