Did my EOD trading (actually only my entries are usually EOD) at midday, took a small loss on MSFT calls (think tec. Will rally but I was 4 DTE) , holding M puts in the money till tomorrow prob (3 DTE) added APA long put. Figured maybe catch tail of this energy melt down, closed below pivot...

Possible long put play if it breaks 580. Oops, no options . Is this right ? Why?

that's interesting..the news line you received from TR at 11:00 I didn't get until 11:31..received the same at 11:22. But, If there are different level of service from TR, I'm sure I'm not looking at the best. I don't day trade so for the most part it is acceptable, I wouldn't see it...

you should print this and pull it on your wall!

Ok then, every sell side b/d in the States has volumes of data/opinions on GS. A lot more efficient than the one offs you'll get on ET. I'm out.

True, but hardly a catalyst to move GS. Which is what I thought this thread was about.

GS is pretty much expected to be involved in some way in deals like this, it would be bigger news if they were not involved. Fundamentals are good, just need a spark.

These are all valid points. But I think the issue is that they have been around in one form or another since Nov, drove the Trump trade (although fin rally stated earlier in 2016) through q1 2017 until legislative/political realities stated taking it's toll on the thesis. What is needed is a...

Not sure I get it, but funny anyway. gotta like the safe gun handling with the index finger on the stock, outside of the trigger guard. While eating a cookie.

Oh, Deep thoughts. Any widely accepted currency that is to stand the test of time needs an element of stability and transparency to be a store of value. Bitcoin, etc. is not there yet, maybe some day.

It is x DVD on SPY and I believe triple witching, may be a partial factor. Sure others will chime in

@hhiusa Are you staying with your GS calls ? if you don't mind, what are your stops, time frame, etc. thanks

Now I feel bad, let me rephrase....at the current time, I do not think WMT has the personnel resources to execute a successful home delivery system.

Not to be rude, but the ave WMT employee can't find their own shoes.....they're going to do home deliveries ?

@Martinghoul I bigly yuge agree ! If you de construct many of these structures offerings, you'll be amazed at the vig the bank is keeping.
