  • 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 went bonkers and bought 100 next week expiry AAPL calls at the 155 strike.  Their earnings are out after the bell today.  

 

I'm either getting fucked or getting an F-250

bought @ 4.80.  closing price 6.66. 

this is not a brag, since rest of my shit took a beating today.  nice V shaped recovery to end the day but i already got shook out of a few positions.

bought more TQQQ 134C next week expiry just before the close.  banking on the tech beat.  if it doesnt work out, i might have to hotwire a F250 to sell to @Trey3216

Luckily I have 8 trading days to see some movement.  APPL earnings were pretty damn solid, stock is up a little AH.  We'll see what the open and the next few days hold.   Glad I did get the next week expiry rather than this friday.

And now it’s down 2% AH.  Looks like I’m the hare.   

I dont trust the volumed AH. 
hopefully shopify hits a homerun tomorrow, and j powell says hes gonna buy up all the stocks and bonds and give us all free play moneys

Msft just flipped AH. Thats why i dont trust that shit

So what do we think will happen first....gme volume finishes below 1m for a day or the reverse repo exceeds 1T$

Shits borked and these things might happen this week(tomorrow?)....

Plus last time the monthly inflation numbers were 5% for 3 months in a row was the lead up to the 2008 crash....we'll see what July brings but may and June were 5%

Store $$$ in the backyard for a few months???

You are going to be IV crushed either way. Hope it works for you though, maybe a big rally after FOMC.

5.5% out of the money on a blowout quarter for a stock that has somehow managed to underperform the S&P 500 for the calendar year and is overcoming significant headwinds.   It wasn’t a bad bet, and yes IV will dry up, but this thing could also jump 3% depending on FOMC news and run 1-2% up 3-4 days straight.   You never know.   

Chinese markets rallied overnight.  US market (ES aka SPX futures) rallied back to basically monday close.  "dead cat"?

FOMO/TINA in full effect in the last 10 days. Economic news has been grim and the markets reacted (for one day).

I could use that sort of a push as I'm sitting on some $444 7/30 SPY calls, they only cost $0.76, but I'm hoping it isn't money thrown into the incinerator

Down to one day left for SPY to make just a little bit more of a move - knowing my luck it'll move after I've closed these out sometime tomorrow. 
Because I'm sure not looking to exercise my 10 SPY calls at the end of the day tomorrow.

Did a quick screen on Finviz: 0-3% above 52 week low and sorted by those with the highest volume on 31JUL. In other words, extremely oversold tickers that were gobbled up on the last day of July.

Five of the top ten are short ETFs.

this actually worked out.  closed today for +30% gain.  unfortunately it was a small position because i got my ass reamed on amazon.

 

sold 2x3400/3350 put spread on amazon day before earnings because there is absolutely no way amazon lost money on retail and web services during lockdown, right, and forward guidance only goes uppies?   risk-reward was fucking horrible.

bet was for amazon to NOT DROP 200 fucking points in 1 day, to gain $294 total.  anywhere above 3400.

between 3350-3400 i'd have sliding incremental losses and could cut the cord.

below 3350 i'd be out of $10,000.  it closed at 3330.  so that was cool.

What’s up with gold? It’s gone nowhere with inflation elevated and Bitcoin and crypto pumping.

somebody got liquidated

gold took a big stumble on friday, so this might be a delayed dealer/prime broker response.  maybe client were not able to pony up the margin requirements.
