Another seemingly very strong grinding day but with a very opex-feel, at least to me.  With LVS being so manipulated it's silly to the 45.99 level, I have decided to allow my position to be called away. As I've stated before, I had an objective with LVS that I could not meet - make money. With this move I'm out of the position and graciously surrender this symbol to D-Man. Hope you prosper.  Was very happy with SQNM today even with the earnings 'scare' for May 5. If you're uneasy about holding look for some early strength on Monday - the chart has set up nicely with an inverse H&S which has met appropriate levels for a move into the mid 7's.  Hope everyone made some money today and will do so on Monday. Members, please post your results along with your RDA of smileys!  |

Portfolio up 1.8% today with no trades. ;D Saw nice gains in WNR and HAL. ;D EXK and NGD kinda floundered today despite the metals move. Positions in those have been cut to more reasonable sizes so I am comfortable sitting through the churn. Hope everyone had a nice day.....Go Trump!  |

MCP continued to pull back today. I was short 2X weekly 70 puts, short 1X May 70 calls and short 1X Jun 75 calls. My weekly puts closed in the money (boo), so I rolled them over into May 65 puts for about double the premium (yay). Right now, my delta on the position is -1752 while my theta is 3257.50, so I'm relatively delta neutral on the position.

only one trade today.. shorted 20K MU at 11.65.. 40K shares short at average 11.47
VXX short calls expired worthless -- realized profit of ~ $51,800..
last 2 weeks have been amazingly good for me... first ~90K realized profit on short CENX position, followed by ~6% profit on CYH and then 51K this week on VXX short calls.
Portfolio up nearly 15% YTD -- MU ~40K loss is the major bad trade so far..
Keeping my fingers crossed.
I am off tomorrow.. Have a nice long weekend..

Was very happy with SQNM today even with the earnings 'scare' for May 5. If you're uneasy about holding look for some early strength on Monday - the chart has set up nicely with an inverse H&S which has met appropriate levels for a move into the mid 7's. Still holding a bunch of SQNM too Cos. Actually I'm looking forward to May 5 (and the good news!) I think we will continue to climb into the 5th. She has been looking quite strong the last week. GL |
