I have 600 shares of UCO at $39.56 now. OOF

i'm glad I sold yesterday for a loss of $900 on my 300 shares.

I hold none.. but at 32.00 flat I'm strongly considering buying again

just creept under 33.00. could be to 32 shortly

We're approaching 32, and I'm putting the buy order in.. This should've fall this far.. down 30% in a month. The downside seems relatively low at this point.

However, after being spooked and getting destroyed on those 300 shares from last week.. i may only buy 1/3rd of what I could commit to it

I don't want one to actually hit but a threat would be nice...

i put my buy order in at 32 and missed.. and i see it's already rebounded quite a bit.. may have missed it

Man, I hope so. If not, I'm buying more. Stupid gambling but I would much rather be wrong going long than short, in the long term, even with the decay.

Snuck in a smallish 110@32.26 today. Has to be pretty close to a bottom I think.

I'm not confident enough to call that however low oil prices hurt a lot of countries, particularly the Russians. Again, long term, I just don't see how it can stay this low.

I got in around April last year iirc. I'm not displeased.

yeah, I bought some of the non-voting stock in late April 2014 and then doubled up a month later.

if this after hours price holds up, that means it's up like 20% in the past week? beautiful.

Used to hold BABA but I can't stomach the uncertainty of Chinese markets. I bought WB @ 16 & sold @ 20 when I couldn't answer a 16 year old's simple Q ("How do you monetize WB? Or how do you monetize TWTR for that matter?")

Top 5 holdings in regular (non-retirement) account:

AMZN

DIS (kids account)

GOOG

TSLA (got in at 75 years ago, 195 & 234 over the last year)

Been a good year. Dropped NFLX in January. Can't win 'em all.

And a lot in boring slow growing index funds / ETFs for the 401K & Roth. Sleep factor.

I don't like BABA because it's a holding company. Too many ways to get burned.

Thoughts on AAPL? Earnings on Tuesday.

No real groundbreaking thoughts here...but my department (I'm an IT guy) just had a developer come back to us after leaving for Fossil less than a year ago. Said last week that Fossil is extremely concerned about the iWatch and what it's doing to their bread and butter business of fashion watches. Cannot quote him, but he made a reference to their financials suffering greatly. (Keep in mind that's an IT guy who'd only been with the company for 9 or 10 months)

How IBM's Earnings Can Look Like a Miss -- Market Talk

BY Dow Jones & Company, Inc.— 7:23 PM ET 07/20/2015

2323 GMT [Dow Jones] IBM reported adjusted earnings of $3.84 per share Monday. That's better than the $3.78 that analysts had been expecting, so why was the company's stock down 5% after hours? The company slightly missed its expected revenue number. But according to Sanford Bernstein's Toni Sacconaghi, IBM also surprised investors with two new items that hadn't been factored into earnings expectations. The first was a lower-than-expected tax bill; the second, lower-than-expected restructuring costs. Together these unexpected improvements added about 20 cents to IBM's earnings, Mr. Sacconaghi estimated. "If you subtract that out, it was an EPS miss," he said.

1.85 a share and 49.6 billion, both slightly above expectations

1.85 a share and 49.6 billion, both slightly above expectations

Rev guidance is only 49-51B vs 51.05B est. And sold 47.5M phones vs some estimates of 50M.(ETA- though apparently avg est was 47.2)

Positive is that only 27% of installed base has upgraded to the iphone 6.

I'm great. Thanks for asking but lurking here mostly these days. I'm involved in a new project working in partnership with a non-profit - but it's a long story best saved for another time.

In regards to $AMZN. I can only tell you what you already know - that $AMZN is in a bullish trend. To me it doesn't look like a stock that has topped and about to roll over either. Earnings do seem to create gaps (both up and down). If it were to gap down (I'm not saying it will) but a logical spot of support would be $445-->$420-->$400. I kind of think if these levels were breeched, it would present a buy opportunity once the ST selling has occured, and I think within a month or two the gap back to $490 would get filled.

ST - the market looks like we might see some more selling over the next few days...but

The $SPY is holding above the 8 Month MA - which is a pretty good general indicator for determining bull/bear markets. A July close below $208 would put the bull mkt in jeopardy...but right now we're ok, though the "engine" seems to sputter every couple of weeks. Like a lot of things - many stocks look expensive...but the trend is the trend until it isn't.

To sum it up:

The LT trend of $AMZN is up.

If AMZN gaps down support is at $445-$420-$400

If AMZN gaps down and those levels of support are hit - AND the ST general market is trending down - I would wait for the general selling to subside (might take a few days maybe a few weeks) and then look to buy AMZN with a goal of $490+ over the coming months.

Options might be the best way to play for ST gain, but I would wait until after earning so that the IV (implied volatility) gets deflated.

**If AMZN gaps up - there is no specific upside target - just up.

Opened an account at fidelity today. I was offered my choice:

300 free trades over the next six months

200 dollars

50000 airline miles

60 free trades over next 12 months

Went for the 300 over 6 mos.

I hope i don't kill myself with that many bullets

I have 600 shares of UCO at $39.56 now. OOF

i'm glad I sold yesterday for a loss of $900 on my 300 shares.

I hold none.. but at 32.00 flat I'm strongly considering buying again

just creept under 33.00. could be to 32 shortly

We're approaching 32, and I'm putting the buy order in.. This should've fall this far.. down 30% in a month. The downside seems relatively low at this point.

However, after being spooked and getting destroyed on those 300 shares from last week.. i may only buy 1/3rd of what I could commit to it

I don't want one to actually hit but a threat would be nice...

i put my buy order in at 32 and missed.. and i see it's already rebounded quite a bit.. may have missed it

just hit $32 today

got some at 32.05 just 100 shares in case i'm wrong or if fantasycurse buys some

picked up another 100 shares at 30:30

we're right at the all-time low for UCO now. I'm honestly surprised to see it back at these levels. I'm going to start building more shares if it falls further.

I've got 200 now which is a pretty small investment really
