Quote from AAAintheBeltway:
Well, everyone had a chance to offer some comments. Actually, I agree with some of the negative comments. The stock had a run but sold off ugly yesterday. Normally I wouldn't touch that kind of action with a barge pole, but the report was so good and it had shot higher previously on some good numbers, that I thought it could reverse.
When I posted the alert last night, it was down to 43.5 or thereabouts as I recall, high so far today was 49.92. Move over MrMarket!!!!!
Alarming action today with NFLX. Yesterday it was down something like 9%, today up about 14%. It is difficult for anyone, short or long, to position themselves for that kind of action without risky wide stop loss orders.
One could conclude that the "powers that be" need NFLX's price to be in a certain range for options week and that they have the power to move it there. Monday will tell more, parabolic moves usually don't end well and create a class of bagholders.
I trade 3 high beta stocks right now, but am able to keep 3% stop loss orders in place and my stocks do not move like this!
Best of luck trading this thrill ride!
