Little Opexy to the feel today - wasting the calls without increasing the puts too much. Green Arrow confirms today as the 5th sequential, so we are still on track, and holding to firm stops and buy the dip philosophy. ;D Bought some additional QQQQ calls, they traded down a bit so I'm current at slightly green from the gain on my earlier calls.  I sold the Call side of my LVS straddle, right before it went into super-whiffle mode. I'm still long the puts, which haven't traded lower from their current mark all day. I added a few as I think LVS will pull back a little - enough to get out of my puts at 0 and have a good straddle trade.  No other changes. Hope everyone made some money today and will do so tomorrow. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Today was another huge up day for me - almost entirely driven by my LVS position. Made over $40k. Scalped LVS shares a couple of times. Net sold 2k shares. Also wrote a few more LVS puts and calls for August expiration - both were a strike or so out of the money for about $8k in new premium. LVS did all this on Q2 earnings in a market that was slightly down.

Tell you what, there's this eye drop, used to be only available via prescription, and I had it years ago for my allergies. You can buy it OTC at the supermarket.
This stuff will turn your eyes so white they turn baby blue. Your eyes will be whiter than the day you were born. No sin will remain in your eyes after using this miracle of nature.
Now I warn you... the first few times, even if you've been using another drop... there's some anguish there, a la Wil Ferrel in Land of the Lost with the dinosaur pee. It will burn. It has to sweep clean years of muck.
But I tell ya, they work. Worth every penny.

I need some too....from all the years of watching the time and sale ticker....red green red green red green....until the flash crash permanently burned them RED!
1 trade for me today- covered 100 shares of FAS short position for those greedy scotturd fawkers. They asked when they would receive the remaining payment for my margin call. I told them never. We'll see what they do with my account. If they dare liquidate the 48 shares needed to cover my call, I'll switch brokers.

lol now 2 drops maximum per eye. I am not kidding.
You guys are going to curse me upon first application. It will last a few minutes. Oh how I'd love to see it - you know what? Film your initial application with your cell phone and post it here. Make sure you can capture 2-3 minutes lol.
But then you'll look in the mirror, and you will not believe what you see.

I may have to try the Naphcon A - Rhotos burn the crap out of your eyes too, all 3 versions of them. Probably why they burn so much and cost like $7 for a tiny bottle.

Another day off for me. Looks like it was a consolidating market down portfolio up session. I really see nothing technical that worries me -I would characterize the last few sessions as range bound consolidation with the issues at resistance setting up for the move up and the issues at support setting up for the move down... I remain bullish and all in! Hope all did well!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D |

I bought some PCX @ 12 bucks.
Staying away from options for the moment.
When the market gets mucky, buying options is yucky(pat.pending)
;D
