There were lots of events today. UNH with that -8pts really kept the DOW lower, but that move was on a downgrade. Now, BA was also struggling, and I couldn't really find news on that move. Then, you have AAPL also down -3pts and this one took the hit from Trumps weekend tweets. The struggle in...

On this chart, I see more of that dip or even longer as compared to the 3-day dip in late July.

Hey Jeff, This is the time of the year where volatility kicks in and volume picks up. Unfortunately, I've seen the increased in volume push the markets lower during this period than higher. There are a lot of issues that needs to be solved before we get a real bounce into record levels, and...

I've added 3 cgc sep 21 $45 calls at $6 and 4 cgc sep 21 $47.5 calls at $5. Thanks beer for the trade. I know you've been pushing since the move, very late to the game. I just had a chance to read the charts today. I think there's another run like the previous one from here on out.

That was it, AMZN hit that $1T making a high at $2050.50. Closed out the remaining calls 2 at 37.6 and 4 at 36.40. I feel like that AMZN trade is complete. Now, let's see if AAPL can break $230 by end of week with its event next week. I closed out 10 AAPL 227.5 calls at 2.11. After that $1T hit...

I've unloaded some of the AMZN position just getting light in case the market turns down harder. Volatility is back in with volume picking up this week. I took 3 of the 2020 calls out at 25.24, and 1 at 27.48. The remaining 6 should be enough exposure for this run. AAPL is still good for me...

I didn't get a chance to watch the closing minutes, but I liked the way the market closed on a high note. The RUT leading the market has almost always kept the rally going this year. There were some laggards in the NASDAQ. I noticed FB, NFLX, and GOOG not participating. This divergence in the...

Well, I wanted to get back into AAPL on that run into its event on Sep 12, and after watching najarian talk about the additions on AAPL, I've jumped in 12 AAPL Sep 7 $227.5 calls between 2.97-2.99. Avg price with comm is $3.00. I think AAPL runs here at least above $230 by early next week. We'll...

I've closed out the LULU 145 calls too soon. Locked in +$5.8k on this earnings play. I've closed out more than half of the LULU 140 calls, and on this one I actually have some in play for this run higher after earnings. So far, I've got just under +$6k gains on these 140 calls. We'll see if LULU...

The nasdaq is holding strong and I think that's going to set up the AMZN move to $1T next week. I've jumped back in using AMZN's Sep 7 2020 calls here. It should run to $2050, and with 4 days next week I expect it to at least touch $2100.

LULU is trading above $150 this morning and that's going to be my gains for the day with the Aug wk5 options expiring today. It's Q2 earnings were a beat on both eps and revs (as it was with the past 4 reports too), and guidance for Q3 came in at $0.65-$0.67 on revs $720-$730M vs. $0.67 on...

Thanks vanz, that LULU was almost like clockwork from 3 months ago. I'm just hoping it has a 10% gap tomorrow. I'll need something above $148 to really see any gains. SQ was the one the waited to have a reason to sell, and it looks like Trump came out ahead of his usual Friday morning. I also...

I had to adjust positions in light of the headline. I'm fully out of AMZN now and I locked in profits in SQ too. I took the loss on JPM calls too, and also decided on taking in small gains on ETSY here. If there ever was a reason to lock in profits for these short term trades, this was it. I...

I've started adding CRM Sep $150 calls here. The earning report was consistent with the last few quarters and CRM is trading in that pattern where it opens lower, touches a low, and then starts to rebound. I like the trade here holding it for a couple of weeks where I'm looking for something...

I've got about $30k in cash left in this $148k account and I'm thinking of putting it all into AMZN here. I know I have $63k exposure in AMZN now with that big unrealized gain, but I feel like it's not enough especially on this run AMZN is having. BTW smallfil, I thought RUN might dip back...

Thanks, I went in heavy about 14 calls just under $20.50 avg price on those AMZN Sep 7 $2000 calls. I've got tunnel vision on this one. Nothing but $2050 is on my mind. I think we hit $1T soon, but I've given myself some room for error. If I didn't see any errors, I'd have gone with tomorrow's...

I missed that 50pt move on AMZN yesterday, but I'm back in this morning at the open using AMZN Sep 7 $2000 calls playing on the run to its $1T market cap which is estimated to be around $2050. I think we hit that by tomorrow at this rate. We'll see how this plays out. I'm jumping in more heavy...

Thanks, NTAP was practically a pattern I saw played out a couple of times after its earning report. I played it purely on the pattern that should play out during this period. I am still looking for about 10-15% gains from the close before earnings at $82, and that's why my target has been...

I've added more LULU positions here using LULU Aug 31 $145 calls. This puts my risk up over $8k now. I feel that the account is high enough where I can weather the entire loss if necessary on LULU. I've also legged into that PVH call spread using Sep 155/165 calls. If PVH's pattern repeat, then...

I'm jumped into PVH Sep 155 calls. I played this one last quarter and waited a little to see the gains. This time around I will set up a call spread by legging into the short 160 calls later today. I'm hoping that PVH opens sluggishly tomorrow and allows me to close out the short while letting...
