the first of a month is usually strong... with 4Q and Thanksgiving month. So it's hard to handicap a large move down... if we don't rally late and do see continuation tomorrow.. then late Tuesday could be significantly higher Then again, the chart does look vulnerable for sure... unless its...

thanks for the LOL (but the day is not over yet.... ?? :-( )

let me ask you a Q? If you sell an option then someone has to be buying. Right. Now, do you think that every time you sell... the buyer(s) of that options series are going to lose money?! If so what gave you that idea. Do you not understand the basic principle that options move in a...

market struggling to go down a few points... amazing how quickly things change. schizos..... one minute world is ending and next is happy days are here again!

i just don't see much downside here... 20-25 points on SPY - maybe. Don't see much more. Will be interesting to see if I am correct or if my analysis missed something. The problem is (for me) can you go long here?

so you mean you are "long"

Caught many/most by surprise... only now it rattled the maddening crowd to start throwing hard earned money into funds. Thus this could have legs. But just look at 2008-2009 (and I will confess I was (luckily) nowhere near the market or a TV when that happened)... why can't we have the same...

well if you are right then my long puts will perform well (and I better close the short side, pronto) ... its certainly possible to get a sell-off but I cannot see a flash crash or a real crash. I don't know if you are using hyperbole and being dramatic, or if you really, sincerely have some...

Bravo... I take my hat off to you for "taking the shot." I had some good positions and even better ideas... but a few days ago I got out of some and spread short calls against others, not wanting to absorb any reversal or retracement. I will be doing a lot of soul searching over the weekend...

I am actually looking to enter some shorts... although I am going to hedge, and keep some longs. I can't just plunge in... gotta wait until the markets resolve, and short covering is over. Figure we close higher. Also, have been saying you cannot short the market in Q4... so any short is...

and, like when is that target going to be reached? Maybe next year. Ok. well patience is a virtue... bonne chance

how imminent - like tomorrow?

exactly

for me, might be worth buying a put and a call.. probably December; then converting into a spread favoring the direction it moves post-earnings. IF I was buying (shorting) stock I would wait until I saw how the market "reacted" to earnings and guidance...

why is this posted in "Trading"??!

I was going to start a new thread about that. I have made multiple mistakes that cost me thousands of dollars of missed profits in past 2-4 weeks, simply by watching the screen all day and allowing price swings and prices to influence me to change my thoughts and decision on entries and...
