When FB broke down, the firs thing I looked at was TWTR and SNAP. I didn't play them out though, so I missed that drop on TWTR. It was ugly. I just closed out a couple of the calls I held, and those are big losses. The entire BABA 190 and 192.5 calls came to a loss of -$2965 total. Also took a...

That's the reason right there why I'm not jumping ahead of this earning. You take your pick and CAT's not one I want to jump on ahead of Monday morning's report. I've followed CAT since it's raid about 2 years ago with shares falling to about $90. Right now, I believe we're going to get some...

Thanks for the chart Jeff, It surely didn't stop there. I didn't start averaging down until right after 1pm. I used BABA as my leading stock to the downside, and BABA capitulated at about 1:04pm. I took the loss on BABA 195 calls at -2687, and rolled down to the Aug 3 $190 and $192.5 calls...

It looks that way. AMZN's report and solid gdp at 4.1% (although that just matched estimates and was well known) couldn't even hold the market. The Russell 2000 went first. I don't think it was ever green today, but -1.4% right now. That's big. I was able to grab GOOGL, AMZN, and CMG calls with...

I thought I'd be done with AMZN and GOOGL by the end of today, but I can feel investors jumping out of FB and jumping into both of these positions. I saw it on GOOGL right into the close where shares just rallied into the close. It was almost like investors didn't want to miss the GOOG train...

I had seriously thought that AAPL was going to run to $1T back in June, but right now it sure feels like AMZN is going to breeze into that $1T mark in no time. With FB pushed out of FAANG, I feel like that money is going to go somewhere, and so far I've seen it jump right into GOOG after that...

Well, looks like AMZN helped calm the markets here. A weak report from AMZN and we would have been looking at a run down. The reports tonight were mixed though, where AMZN is up 3%, INTC is down about 5%. After hours show AMZN at $1868. I guess the sweet spot for my 1850/1900 call spread would...

That's why I like your charts, I'll use that against events that are coming up and try to figure out where most are positioning themselves. The odds on AMZN is up right now. You can feel most traders selling AMZN heading into its earning report, so any upside surprise will push it higher and...

Nice chart Jeff. Once the SP500 broke off from 2800, it rallied hard. The strength is there to test 2875. I don't think we'll hold 2875 on this first test. I think it'll touch it and fall back. I don't even think it'll reach 2875, I'm hoping for something in the 2865-2870 range. If AMZN pushes...

Yep, I missed that trade too. I looked at a strangle on FB yesterday, and thought over $9.00 for a strangle on FB was just too much...little did I know. But I did jump into PYPL Aug 90 calls today. I watched this one yesterday in the AH and this morning. After the initial drop, there was nothing...

What a morning. I was able to close out NOW 185 calls for a nice profit, just about covering the losses on the ALGN call spread that I had set up. On AMZN, I was able to close out the 1900 calls at the open and then waited for a bounce to sell short again. I'm locked into the 1850/1900 call...

This run up on the markets to close the day was wild. Pushed the account to $59.4k by the end of the day. It ran up +$16k today. But I know this isn't going to hold. ALGN's report pushed shares back -10pts. I have $1300 risk on that trade. And that drop in FB from $218 to $180 in the after...

Instead of closing out 1 of the 2 AMZN 1850 calls at $4000, I sold 2 AMZN 1900 calls for just a little over $4300. This gives me a chance to play the trade as if I had 1 AMZN 1850 call in play for tomorrow's earnings. The move in the market has pushed the account up to $56.9k, and when it does...

I've added BABA Aug 3 $195 calls taking on the momentum run. BABA will have a wild ride into the end of next week. I believe it will move on AMZN's earning report, and then again on BIDU's report. I haven't seen confirmation, but earnings on BABA is either at the end of next week or the...

Closed out the TXN calls for a loss. This one's another big one. I legged out of IRBT, still holding 1/2 the long 73 calls to see how that plays out today. Took out GOOGL 1275 calls for a loss. Also added GOOGL 1260 calls and GRUB Aug 3 $120 calls. I had GRUB on a call spread yesterday and...

Just had a chance to look at those numbers. TXN beats with Q3 guidance at 1.52 on 4.28B vs. 1.53 on 4.25B (used the midpoint of TXN's guidance). Looks good, but shares are sluggish in after hours barely above $114. On IRBT's side, eps had a big beat, raised FY eps and revs with eps range at...

I played 2 earning trades today, both on the long side with TXN Jul 27 $115 calls and IRBT Jul 27 73/80 call spread. IRBT is more of a wild horse during earnings so I played it more cautious. As for closed trades today, I took some of the profits of AMZN and MSFT calls today after watching the...

I'm going to use some of the profits from GOOGL and add a GOOGL Jul 27 $1275 call now. I'll ride this one for the week to see if momentum carries it to $1300. Couldn't bear to watch DPZ calls anymore, so I took the loss there at -2300

Your welcome. I took a look this morning at MMM when the report just came out and I thought it was going to be a loser with everything else just running higher this morning, but I second look here and MMM is now at $191.94 -$6.90. Combing through its report, Q2 numbers were mixed at 2.59 on...

That blue ma line though. Looks like it closed right on it. The SPY is up +0.25 in the after hours (most likely from GOOG and most of the large cap techs I saw move higher with it). It looks like we're going to get techs up and industrials down tomorrow. Should make for a good push and pull.
