Sour ending to the day. Hello BIDU!!!! Woot. Dougie got really excited about the TSLA convertible note (I presume that was his reason for shorting the entire time whether he admits it or not). Unfortunately for him, it started going higher instead (face-plant). And! This from TSLA: sees 2020 Gigafactory Tesla vehicle volume about 500,000/year. TSLA […]
TSLA TSLA TSLA TSLA!!!!! Oh snap! My guess from last night was correct by 0.4% – SPY. FSLR taking away my halo….obviously it’s not a stock backed by #MagicalMusk. Very disappointing. I don’t know what the deal is with BIDU. Either no one is interested for a reason or everyone is too busy with TSLA TSLA […]
Here is some updated open interest that includes today’s trades. SPY: About 34,000 184 puts were added. If 184 holds then it would help validate the strength of this market. If it fails to hold, we may see a move to underneath 183 if the selling picks up speed. AAPL: AMZN: FB: LNKD: NFLX: SCTY: […]
Call me crazy, but I’m near term cautious right now. If I had to guess I would say tomorrow will be a down day. If we get SPY 183 I will look for a possible entry to get long. And if instead we keep going higher tomorrow than it’s good I was just guessing. #neverwrong 😉 […]
The following are the open interest for BIDU, FSLR, SCTY, and SINA, all of which report earnings this week.

The current implied volatility is one […]

The market is exhibiting very 2013 like behavior. We had a quick correction followed by a V shape reversal and are now consolidating gains through time. Thus far this action is healthy and bullish. If we claim all time highs it will be important to see it backed by several breadth indicators. One indicator I […]
TSLA squeezing the Dougie’s of the world. Had some intra-day drama in the markets today. Perhaps just working off some overbought froth. It was a bit concerning that we had a few large negative ticks. Let’s see…. So far most of my positions look good this week except for V. Loser stock right now, […]
I exited REGN, P, and DECK today. I got long BIDU today per my thoughts that I wrote about this weekend here. For better or worse, I am holding GRMN into earnings tomorrow. I will update those SPY 184 Calls and 90 QQQ calls by tomorrow morning via twitter. See here to know the context. […]

The following are the open interest graphs for February 22nd expiration on $AAPL $AMZN $BIDU $FB $GOOG $LNKD $NFLX $TWTR. Keep in mind that because this is monthly expiration, many of the puts or calls could have been bought a long time ago. For further understanding of how to make use of these please read […]
I was certainly not expecting another V-shaped recovery similar to those we experienced in 2013, but hey, I’m not complaining. The question going forward is will we make new highs on SPX or was this a huge bull trap that will develop into a lower high and retest the lows of 1737 or lower. So far […]
I took that title from @JBoorman so want to give credit where it’s due. He also got the tweet of the day today (different one – see below). This has been an AMAZING few days for the bulls. I would name off a ton of stocks that have exploded to the upside (many that I […]
What can I really say here? So far Yellen is hero #2 to the bulls. Whether this is a bull trap or not remains to be seen. Small caps and consumer discretionary are lagging, we may be overbought, but for now if it looks like a bull, smells like a bull, then…. I’m not going […]
Some market consolidation is a good thing after last weeks rally, but still not liking the underperformance of the small caps and financials. We’ll see. Fed Chairwoman Yellen will speak tomorrow to the House Financial Services Committee. It’s possible her words will be market moving, but the assumption is she isn’t going to say anything stunning…. […]
As always these are meant to be used as an asset to your other technical indicators…. To see SPY open interest and other market commentary click here. AAPL: Is the accelerated buy back over now that it has been revealed? No idea, but if it’s not then be weary these high open interest calls week […]
The rally we had toward the end of last week was surely impressive. Was the 5.8% correction we had enough to take us back to all time highs? It definitely was a good start, but I don’t think we are out of the woods just yet. The best scenario going forward would be for us […]
We had a little fake out this morning after the horrid jobs report. Today felt a little like 2013 didn’t it? Nice to have a little flashback Friday. I guess Ichan is going to be a hero again, AAPL. I am sick to my stomach for not buying options on PCLN this morning even though […]
LNKD beat estimates, but guided lower and is currently being punished. Seems to be a theme so far this year. Not your 2013 market anymore. NFLX is up $4 due to an upgrade at the close. Tomorrow we find out if the SPY 181 call buyers were right (albeit maybe too early and will likely suffer […]
Market made a new low and then had a decent bounce. Was it the bottom? Who knows. Tomorrow the ECB decides on rates and Friday is jobs #’s. Both can be catalysts. TWTR beat, but currently trading lower. We’ll see how long they stay in the penalty box for. P also beat and trading lower; […]
Apparently retailers are on strike this year….either that or they are all going to KORS. What a great pop…. It was backed by those #WiseGuys. See here to see where I mentioned it last week. AOL is back up so my thanks to anyone buying. Chart of the day: – it’s actually a table taken from this post that […]
Man, there was just no break from the selling today (and if you live in NYC) there was no break from the snowing. Both are annoying. Best thing to do today was the opposite of what I thought…should have shorted everything. Well I’m done looking for a bottom. Maybe it was today, maybe it wasn’t. […]

The following are the open interest graphs for expiration on Friday February 7th. The implied volatility and priced in movements are based on the weekly options and will likely change slightly prior to earnings. Wednesday: BIDU: (unconfirmed date) IV: 55.1%, pricing in + or – $9.30 (fairly elevated based on typical earnings IV) TWTR: IV: 145.9%, […]
One month down, 11 to go. The market is doing a decent job of getting rid of the “animal spirts” left behind from 2013. Despite the oversees issues and the development of tapering, I don’t yet see a reason to believe the bull run is over. So far what seems to be taking place is […]
We have a very indecisive market right now and I’m staying light with my trades. Throughout the week I stated stocks that I took or am currently in. This is not an exhaustive list of everything I am holding, but I thought I would update the trades I highlighted in my previous posts in SassyMusings […]
