The only thing I posted publicly this weekend was this tweet: I was much more detailed to my subscribers and so far it was OK. Nothing breathtaking. I came in holding SINA as I mentioned last week in my SassyMusings. I bought GS and AAPL this morning. And I started position in BIDU and V […]
Keep in mind that all weekly options you buy expire Thursday at 1:00pm EST. Overall I actually some pretty decent opportunities to get long and try to get quick gains. AAPL: I see a lot of people bullish and admit the chart looks rather enticing. I think if it can really get above the second...
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Keep in mind that next week is a short week and markets close on Thursday at 1:00pm EST. Things appear bullish for the most part, but I still think we aren’t out of the woods. Because of that I want to keep myself from being too overly exposed....
Well Team USA didn’t win, but whatever we qualified. I don’t have too much time today and am mentally exhausted so will keep this short. I’ve mentioned for two days that I really lightened up cause I thought we would go lower before higher and we did in fact do that, but barely so I […]
Well glad that my short term bearishness yesterday didn’t get the best of me. Good thing I’m not stubborn. I got stopped out of my FB puts early this morning for a loss and then got long a couple things. I am still leaning short term bearish, meaning I see the possibility of going lower […]
Well it was bound to happen. Can’t make money everyday. Well maybe you can, but I don’t. I’m kidding by the way regarding the title. Got stopped out of several stocks today. Some still in profit and some for a loss. The ones I think I mentioned yesterday I am basically all out of now. […]
Nothing to complain about here. Good day for us. I came in holding DDD and GOOGL calls. I bought FSLR right off the open when it was down and sold a 1/4 more of my swing calls that I bought when it was at 61. I sold the rest of my CELG. I stopped out […]
Don’t have any overall comments so will go straight into it. AAPL: I did NOT like how it closed on Friday and I’m holding options for two weeks out. I don’t know what that dump was about and we will just have to see what happens Monday morning. I will do my best to get...
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. Once again I found a ton of good set-ups. Honestly there were so many it was hard for me to pick among them so as usual I may throw some out there during the week that aren’t here. Once again I cannot take all of them and I...
Never short it, Yo. Speaking of Yo, if you want to Yo me I’m as Sassyspy Great day to be long CELG, which I mentioned here two days ago. Of the other ones I mentioned here, GOOGL looks good, OWW looks good, YHOO – meh, and ABBV (mentioned on TWTR) – meh. If you want another […]
O-M-G, today, this week, this month, AMAZING!!! If you missed this latest move I’m sorry, but maybe you should take a minute and ask yourself why? Were you stubborn, just didn’t believe it, following someone else? I am not trying to sound like some master. I definitely am not. Anyone can make money in this […]
If the above was you, then I imagine you were short today. Some days a mixture of homework, preparation and luck just makes for a fantastic day. Today was one of those days. Had a huge day in TSLA, SPWR, TWTR, FSLR and TRLA (the last two of which I wrote that I bought last week […]
The last few weeks I have discussed the trend being up and the 2013 type of environment we had. It was good for those that were long. Momentum began to slow last week which should not have come as a surprise as the market had become overbought according to many different measures. I still believe […]
Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I don’t quite know what to expect next week, but my guess is some chop, profit taking and dips being bought. I also want to see what sectors are hot next week. Energy picked up again last week and I will look for continuation there and see if financials can continue to...
I typically like to monthly ones better because they tend to be more effective. Unfortunately, many of these are all over the place and don’t have clear ranges including SPY. But we will take a look anyway and try to find short term opportunities with them. SPY: Completely all over the place, which is also...
Another odd day when the indexes were dropping, but there were pockets of strength. To be honest, I didn’t even realize the indexes were dropping at first this morning cause pretty much all my stocks were going up. Unfortunately that changed, but luckily the damage wasn’t horrible for my stocks. I said yesterday that we […]
Ouch, that had to have hurt if you have been bearish for a few weeks. Still getting that 2013 type of market. Ride it until it doesn’t work is better than trying to time the end of it. First, if you haven’t checked out my pre-market interview this morning on Benzinga, check it out :-). […]
As part of my service I periodically tweet out market stats (such as breadth and what I am seeing etc) throughout the day. This morning I mentioned the bifurcation in the market as breadth was lower, SPX was moving lower (even taking out the lows of the day at one point), VIX was higher and yet […]
By no means is it easy for me to stay long. I can feel the anxiety everywhere and I can’t pretend it doesn’t affect me. Having said that it is also what helps me stay long. I sense most people are either 1) short 2) on the sidelines waiting for a pullback 3) very very […]
Hope everyone is having a nice weekend. I have a lot of set-ups here. Some are swings, some a bit more short term and riskier. There are other names I am watching for short term plays, but I didn’t want to list everything because at some point it gets overwhelming. Some of these I discussed...
I’m not sure we will have the same type of momentum this week with the momo’s as last week, but I’m going to be open to it and not assume these will all hold. Regardless they can at least give us some insight. AAPL: I don’t even know why I’m posting this because we are going...
Ok so it’s not exactly like 2013 as the first half of the year was nothing short of a trap to anyone who stayed in the 2013 mentality. However, as I posted about three weeks ago, the environment was sure presenting evidence that we were going to get that type of surge. I said it […]
For the last couple weeks I have expressed that the market felt very much like 2013 and that I was bullish. Today confirmed that. If you were long, you were paid! Now things will probably get more difficult at least while some of these gains digest. However, for now I still think we have amazing set-ups […]
I got nothing exciting to say here. Good day, great week. Swings are finally working and paying. Locked in some gains today. ECB tomorrow. I have zero clue what will happen, but I will go with the path of least resistance until that changes. So I’m boolish. People seem pretty anxious right now (anecdotal) and I […]
Had an awesome day today. As I mentioned last week and over the weekend and in several tweets, I was seeing tons of great long swing set-ups in healthcare and industrials. I positioned myself nicely to benefit from them, which I have been since last week. So far this could still play out, which is what I wrote […]
I took a break from SassyMusings last week. I got lazy after having a 3-day’s off for Memorial day weekend. It happens :-). Nice day for the bulls. Morning was gross, but BTFD worked and for now I’m going with what is working. Had a couple good day trades in GS and GOOGL and put […]
That Was So 2013 Yo
The first half of 2014 has almost become a faint memory. The last few weeks have been amazing for those that were on the right side of the market. The bulls are having a party and the bears have once again proven that being stubborn only hurts themselves. However, as a participant in this recent run-up […]
