Limit for my rich 4 shares of FLIR at 41.99.

 

How is that trade war with China going? That was one of the biggest market events in a very long time. If I remember right, we were nearing the completion of Phase I, getting ready to enter Phase II? Something about soy beans I think.

 

Data is one thing that is pretty hard to argue. Somehow CNN manages to fuck it up anyway. lol

 

Closed my 2 $34 07AUG20 Puts bought for $1.12...closed at $1.35 and then $1.50...I thought the $1.50 price was a reach but it closed the $1.35, quickly jumped to $1.50 for like 2 seconds and executed...now they are back to $1.10 and if I hadn't set the sells overnight I would have missed timing it

 

I've been watching YANG but there's been no action...

I don't know that we can see a manifestation of the war on China in their financial reports...their probably not allowed to display a realized impact...But as we saw from the speech yesterday, Whirlpool has seen an uptick in sales since the tariffs.

Come on now...when there's a narrative to push you'll print whatever you want....
"News media outlet uses more words than ever to report info!"

 

Yep.

How are those UBER puts treating you?

 

I don't know what your UBER calls were, but it's moving like things north of $34 will be in the money by noon..

 

CASH MONEY BABY

 

CLNE dipped to $2.68 after earnings overnight (BOO) but the opened like a champ at $2.98! EDIT $3.01!!! After hours quotes are real sons-a-bitches on low volume...Should have added! CTXR is flat at $1.10 still...

 

JPM has been building on, and reporting publicly I might add, a stash of physical silver since I believe 2015.
LBMA and Comex games currently, eyes watching.
Who are custodians of etf, and comex futures contract initiation?
The tiny size of the market and the 100yr cup n handle formation, along with renewed monetary interest from the plebs, and more importantly institutions seeking safety, like Tier 1?

Id be willing to bet we're above the start of this latest run, so 17.50 to 30 ..roughly $12 move.
Retest in 23 area? Could be there next week..

Could be at $50..

no idea..
but from chaos, comes order.

 

A month or so ago I linked a youtube vid from TradingRush. He's recently set up a site where all his vids are uploaded. I don't care if your a new trader or if you've got 20 years experience. Everyone should spend some time watching his stuff. It's truly a no bullshit test of various trading strategies. If you've got some time this weekend pop on some headphones and learn a little.

$FUN back in the green overall for me. In at 26.55 went red almost immediately, but hey, we're back to earning some donuts! What a lovely sight:


FLIR, FUN, IXC, and SPHD but I don't really care about SPHD principal.

....I'm sure this will change in a week. Don't worry.

When FLIR hits my limit 41.99 I might go back to NRGU depending on where it is on its cycle.

 

Days like today make me miss the circuit breaker days of March. At least I had some entertainment watching the deals present themselves. I bought a bunch today and wasn't too excited about it.

 

Grabbing some FLIR today on a discount...

 

Looks like they may save the stimulus deal agreement for later down the road when the markets need a little shot in the arm. For now they’ll pretend they can’t possibly negotiate a deal.

 

Let Mr. P take the credit for the stuff they're agreed upon at this point as an exec action, and then wait until the pending October aero shit show for the rest.



Looks like PFE agreed to manufacture for GILD so the stock went up on the news in no particular direction, unsurprisingly as of late.

 

I think PFE has moved lately, over the last few months at least. I went from being down big on it to almost break even. I've owned it for years though.

 

Yes, it went from 38 when they got in the game, down to 32, and has recovered. Same with AZN, despite good earnings, deals with multiple countries for vaccine, it just doesn’t seem to matter with the established drug companies. Fine with me, I added some pfe at 33, and I don’t need the volatility. And I sold AZN when it hit low 60’s and the rest when it dropped to 58 shortly after.

 

From what I've seen on pharmas, they're pretty volatile in a good, stable market. It's why I have them as a "learn about this industry" instead of a "wing it" approach for them.
