No way.
 
What is the least path of resistance?

UP

If you want a sure way to blow out your account, attempt to pick tops of hot stocks.
 
A guy at my firm lost 10+ points on 20k shares of VLO last week. What does that tell you?

Yeah, this one is a roller coaster. I think oil will be up next week based on the weekly chart, and VLO should move up with oil IMO.

I'm sorry, but the self-destructive habits of some traders make me wonder how they can stay in the game for long.

I would never, ever consider anything but a day trade for VLO with current volatility levels. It can easily open up/down 10 points overnight.
 
Yeah, its insane. I dont get what he was thinking. He held and held and held and there never appeared to be a reason to stay in the trade. It was a very expensive lesson to say the least.

I know what it is: PRIDE. It's hard for many to admit they were wrong and take the small loss. Instead they pay dearly.

I've been through this myself and continue to fall into this trap occasionally.
 
Still riding this gem up ...scalping profits here and there on option calls . I have take the biggest majority of profits off the table , but still holding a few calls but looking for another opening to reload if it starts to run up even more.

I am no way looking to short VLO in these markets.


happy trading , SS
