    Gilead is shady as fuck. There are many companies working on a vaccine at the moment, but you don't hear anything about them. Most likely GILD is not doing any better than their "competition", they just report a lot of hope and investors buy it.

    AAPL earnings April 30? Weekly options are cheap - $6.25

    It would highly surprise me. I expect AAPL to give weak future guidance and profit warning for next quarter. They're reporting Q1 earnings, which will not be as heavily impacted by the virus-situation as their Q2 will be. But let's see.

    Exactly my thought. I really believe Trump made some deal with the biggest hedge funds. It's IMO no coincidence we started going back up on March 24, the day after Trump & Pence had a meeting with Citadel, Third Point, Blackstone, Vista Equity, etc on the state of the economy & market

    I really hope so! Did not saw this rally coming. My positions definitely need at least a small drop ;) Other than short being squeezed, I don't understand this mornings rally though. Don't see how the unemployment numbers can be interpreted bullish.

    Feel the same. In my view it's just too much, too quick and not sustainable considering state of the US and Global economy. NQ again at January levels or AMZN at ATH is insane. Consumer spending will go down (look at unemployment), hence so will company sales. Smart money who bought in at 2300...

    IB Margin requirements rising as VIX falls, reaching nonsense levels

    I experienced the same, although not to such an extend. My main trade is to sell premium in SPX options, profiting from time decay, however, only to the extend I have sufficient capital to cover (with /ES futures), if need be. This strategy works like a gem and is very consistent, as long as you...

    The unfortunate thing is that those kids move the market as moves are much smaller during RTH and - on aggregate - there's hardly any move at all during the day. Interesting article here

    Fully agree with you. It worries me though. I just cannot comprehend stocks like TSLA are near $700 again, in these times, with factories not producing and a massive decline in sales. It's all FOMO on top of FOMO. Fundamentals, let alone valuations, don't matter anymore. It reminds me of the...

    Agree it was oversold and indeed expected it to move up. However, what surprises me is the violence of the up move over the last 2 days. I didn't expect we would rally 300 points in a week. We're at the same level again as we were in June'19 and March'19 even though the economy is in much worse...

    I also thought the market would not like the unemployment numbers Thursday morning, yet /ES rose 100 points in less than 2 hours (8:15-10:00) when they were published. WTF? Was totally lost there. My short position hopes you're right, but having a difficult time understanding the markets...

    Charts not loading in TWS

    Same here. Good I found this post: thought it was me (checked internet, programs running, etc etc). Pretty annoying it's not working :(

    Exactly what I thought. That first jump seemed like some entity got caught in a big way.

    IB Margin increases....

    Fully agree. Believe we're over $24k for 1 ES now... On the one hand I understand them, but on the other hand it can also backfire: First day they increased them, I overlooked it (wasn't aware) and was writing strangles on ES that I planned to cover when we would come 50 points from my...

    Delta Hedged Put Butterfly - The road to 50% APY

    It's called OptionVue. I use it as well, but can sometimes be a bit buggy (long load times, server issues). I have a one year license, but not sure if I keep it thereafter. @ Longshot520: I'm wondering how this strategy worked for you during the Oct-Jan bull market. It should perform well in a...

    How are the wallstreetbets guys so successful?

    They are buying far OTM put/call tails in the hopes off making a big bang. They will have more losers than winners, but hope the winner will offset all losers. As others are saying, the actual % of people making these outrageous returns is relatively small as you won't see them post about it...

    Was just looking at the same. Down 25% in past 3 weeks. Unbelievable.
