Quoting The Fool
{quote}IN 12c out for $1.20 today with the last and they went to $1.50+, huge 11+% drop in UVXY today, better trade I have had lately....I also have Feb24 $17 long puts, in those for a nickel and they are at about 30c today, if I see 50c I will have to take some off....
Outstanding trade Fool. I unloaded my VXX puts way to early. I am going to start looking at these UVXY weeklies.

yes, tanx, they don't always work out so well, but really, short ^vix has been the most reliable trade to be had in recent years, so long as you play it with the right names. What I learned from the UVXY long put trades I have made recently is that the immediate post-reverse-split on UVXY is the place to shop for dingers

have GS calls diagonal - Feb17/Feb24 $257.50/$260.00 - in for 10c trying to get out for 50c today, if GS will nudge up into the close I will make it. I put a $260/$262.5 Feb17 Kahuna vertical on there for 6c, will take that off for a wash or a little loss also.....c'mon squiddy
missed 50c by a few centavos, never let a winner turn into a loser.....

Beware the Ides of March!

 

  1. The Fool: Trump!

  1. Trump. Ha! who calls?

  1. Casca. Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!

  1. Trump. Who is it in the press that calls on me?
    I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
    Cry 'Trump!' Speak; Trump is turn'd to hear.

  1. The Fool. Beware the ides of March.

  1. Trump. What man is that?

  1. Brutus. A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

  1. Trump. Set him before me; let me see his face.

  1. Cassius. Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Trump.

  1. Trump. What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

  1. The Fool. Beware the ides of March.

  1. Trump. He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.

Haha honestly this bull market can have legs for years... The case for DOW 30k or 40K in the next 4 years is completely valid.

Frankly Ill just keep trying to look for continuations of the uptrend on the larger TFs and keep trying to ride the wave... on individual stocks and currencies its a little more convoluted and that makes trading a little more atypical.

There will be a breakdown, something completely unexpected, I'm thinking something totally sci-fi. Markets lulled into near catatonic complacency will implode and the sell-off will be yuuge, that is, until the screens go blank and the atmosphere burns away. I will reach out one skeletal finger to hit send, one more btfd, just one more, omg I could have caught the very bottom, too late......

No matter, in Trader's Heaven there will be volatility out the yinyang, 1,000,000:1 leverage, winners for Eternity....

spoos finish week just a dime off the Wednesday alltime high close .... I still think The Trump trade will keep rolling if he can keep throwing chunks of red meat to the alligator bulls on Wall Street, but it is very clear after this week also that his honeymoon will not last, and that it won't take much for the wheels to come off the clown car.....

Interesting times. Dutch elections <4 weeks away now. Will the Nationalist/anti-globalist movement follow the Brexit/Trump lead and pick up steam, or begin to fizzle? If recent history is any guide, bet against the pollsters and the bookies....

"One supporter held up a fake 100 guilder bill emblazoned with a portrait of Wilders — a reference to Wilders' plan to take the Netherlands out of the European Union. Opponents, meanwhile, held up signs saying "Refugees Welcome" and "Don't Let Them Scare You." "
