Stock market tips and experiences

Market acting like this is a sign that it's topping out. It doesn't mean we enter the bear market this month, but the market is no longer as bullish/stable as it has been the past couple of years. Looking at TVIX I'm wishing I bought some, lol.

So many people are gonna buy TVIX and get their asses handed to them assuming we don't have a crash within the next couple days.. (we're not). A random stat I didn't come up with..

VIX rose 32%+ in a single day, so next day SPY has 71% chances to close in green.

I will probably buy AMD around tues or wed. 3.40-55 is possible.
Bought/Sold AMD for past 11-12 quarter.
I will probably buy SEP or OCT calls month prior.

Would people really be so gung ho on tvix now? It just gained damn near 20%. I'd like to think that the average joe would see that as a huge red flag. No one wants to buy on the rise.

If S&P500 manages to hit 2000, I'll buy TVIX at whatever its at (probably low to mid 2s)

Looks like AMD missed the quarter and is down almost 20% this morning. If you're gonna buy some, now looks like a good time to get in cheap!

I ended up buying more AAPL shares yesterday after the pullback. Unfortunately, I didn't wait long enough, but still up on the day. I've only been at this a couple of months so I still have a lot to learn.

You'd be surprised..

Thanks to Mact, I learned a bit about volume and price. Using that knowledge, it seems to me that TWTR is a good buy at these levels. I won't enter long until it breaks above and holds $42, but on a 4-hour time frame it looks great for the $60s. There is also positive divergence with respect to MACD and price.

7/29 earning? opinion?
TA looks okay, but change in fundamental and Worldcup + NEW sub may disappoint.
I am thinking about selling on or before 28th.

Waiting for tues-wed to buy shares.
SEP and OCT CALL mo prior is still in mind.

F1Venom · 07-21-2014, 07:27 PM

Ugh, earning reports suck as TA goes out the window. I think they beat though but I guess TWTR could fall out as a potential trade.

Will Ackman is holding a press conferance today and he claims he will destroy Herbalife today. He even invited the Herbalife CEO and his team lol.

It should be entertaining regardless of who is right lol

Anyone planning to pick up some Alibaba when it IPOs? It's projected to price at 50x earnings. I foresee a few volatile trading days!

F1Venom · 07-22-2014, 11:35 AM

Any thoughts on AAPL earnings after the bell?

MetsFan · 07-22-2014, 11:49 AM

I think it's anybody's guess right now. I need to stop checking it every day though, haha. I keep telling myself I'm in it for the long haul, but I still check it.

I am going to get in if I can right away and sell it quickly for a quick profit (couple of % hopefully). I don't want to mess with volatility.

I've been in for years now with AAPL, I'm actually thinking about exiting soon.

MrPrena · 07-23-2014, 12:17 AM

Speaking of Herbalife. I am not a short nor long, but they are like those Amway/Priamerica/Quixstar/WMA(WFG) pyramid junk. I agree with Bill, and I hope FTC fines Herbalife big time. However, I do not think they will get shut down.

mact3333 · 07-23-2014, 05:55 PM

anyone remember when I pounded the hammer on AAPL at split adjusted 57.00?....or FB at 20ish??...TSLA at 50.00...HCLP at 35?...DDD at 35?....

.

FB taking off today AH's

Ubersmooth · 07-23-2014, 11:34 PM

When do you guys TVIX will be safe to touch again?

I'm gonna try to get into Alibaba as fast as possible and sell just as fast for a quick profit

bimmerfrk · 07-25-2014, 09:45 AM

So for the heck of it picked up some KO august 16th 42 calls. Minus the negative earnings I think she will erase the last three days by then.
