1/2/2019 10:45:31 PM AAPL warns for the first time since 2007. When they took the step to take out detailed disclosure on units sold...that was a good hint?  Throw baby with the bath water time? China slowdown? Thank Trump? |

1/19/2019 9:32:33 AM Lessons learned in 2018: - DMA was not a good indicator for me - one may be right in thinking the sky ain't falling but NEVER ignore the trend as it can keep on going for a while which means opportunity lost. - Any indicator in isolation will not help; in my case using RSI to build a position in a downtrend. - scaling in and position sizing helped So, the hunt for a simple "mechanical" plan continues! |

1/19/2019 12:06:32 PM Looking for feedback from Options inclined traders...  AMZN is about to report earnings in 2 weeks. However, unless my eyesight is failing me and missed something, there was a $6.7MM trade 1710/1720 PUT expiring Feb 1st. $60ish premium paid. Seems to go agains the grain in my newbie brains...what am I missing? Thank you Replaced my stock purchase of STZ with STZ Jan 2020 160C using $20.30 so I can free up cash ;=P |

1/19/2019 1:55:58 PM My 2 cents. Down trend resistance line broken. Longer term EMA'S squeeze and rolling over.  |

1/19/2019 3:50:47 PM Thanks Mac; always appreciate the feedback! Not planning to be doing options (as I can even get this "trading thing" right); was just experimenting ways of having less cash outlay with leveraged gains. In this case, looking for the worm to turn and picking up options with longer expiration. STZ is my first experiment; albeit it hasn't met the "turning" yet. I've been long AMZN and was curious on how to play the earnings "run" (in the past, I never paid attention). A break of $1800 would look like it would complete the reverse head and shoulders and therefore signal towards a big move...(that is what my newbie brain tells me!)  |
