2/14/2018 6:09:14 PM LMAO....who let the dawgs out????      I think I'm kinda liking the leverage from options; not that I know anything about it. Like a blind squirrel who found a nut...AMZN, BABA, and NFLX calls just went nuts! |

2/15/2018 3:41:45 PM @four...sometimes I think I am over thinking about things! Options are addicting! Do you know of any free online calculator that would tell you what the approximate jump in option price would be vis a vis a gain in the stocks' share price? I don't know how to tell if an option price is cheap or expensive relative to the share price. I mean, none of that mattered when I picked up a bunch of OSTK, NFLX, AMZN, or even EEM. SPOO crossed up EMA50; don't think we will re-test the high (I wanna be wrong)...big boys may dump in order to remount. Here is where I get confused....take the profits or risk losing some of it by waiting for a "signal". I know....it is a "ME" problem. ;=P Thanks for the encouragement; not sure if it is luck or skill! Sold EUXL and may sell the remaining ETFs and AMZN.... |

2/16/2018 6:06:16 PM Mostly in cash. Tested a small position on SPY Call option. Kept GASL. Happy with KORU 17%, NFLX 8% and TQQQ 10%. Rest had minimal gain/loss for a wash. Does anyone know what a good replacement is for XIV and shorting VXX? |

2/16/2018 7:57:43 PM I think vmax vman or something like that plus the first pays 9% dividend something. Look into it. |

2/17/2018 8:15:15 AM @four and shills... As always, thank you for your feedback! RE: skills will show when the trend changes..and systems will or won't... so true! XIV comes to mind for me. system didn't account for a black swan event, my lack of knowledge didn't anticipate it, my gut had alarm bells ringing...and system forced me to stay with the allotted size which limited the damage. Mac's XIV chart with Guppies is burned in my head! thanks for the links four; the info is making my head spin ;=P BTW, is VXX (like XIV) getting closed out as well? XIV was with CS but VXX is with iPath... Cheers! with so many stocks rebounding....guess a lot of ppl or waiting for the next set up. |
