PEATF!! This is up 19% today :mansions:

Have just the slightest hunch that this might be a big week for Peat.  Not forecasting up or down, just a newsy news week.  I think.  

 

[skycriesmary]

I just sold 2/3 of my remaining equities. Happy to park some cash on the sidelines. I think this has another 10%+ drop to go.

Curious as to why you see another 10%+ drop from here.  Fundamentals look solid, the only wrench would be inflation and more interest rate hikes than expected, but that would mean the economy is doing very well.

Well this is a nice change...I can't remember the last time UA didn't plummet after an earnings release.

I agree with everything you mentioned above, but see inflation and hikes taking a bigger toll. The bond market also looks very precarious. All that being said, I have been pessimistic about this market for a long time, and I've missed the majority of the run up. I've got the anti-midas touch.

'"The persistent buyer of VIX call options that we have been tracking finally made money – and how! As of the Feb 9th close, we calculate that '50 Cent' is up nearly $200 million ever since we started tracking their purchases in January of last year," Pravit Chintawongvanich writes.'

I've been reading about 50 cent for almost a year... guy is a beast, although I assume they're correct that this wasn't an outright bet, but more so a hedge.

Ah.  So, how many millions did he lose up to this point. 

The rest of the story.

It shows in the article, but they estimated about $200MM, quite the swing for that account.

Buckle up boys, some complacency the last two days... Tomorrow we're going to see a big move. CPI report comes out before open, market is going to react aggressively (mostly likely overreact, IMO).

I mentioned last week, we're back to the bad news is good news and vice versa phase.

Expectations are 1.9%, if it comes in between 1.5 - 1.8%, think we get a nice ride up, if it comes in around 1.9-2%, not sure about the reaction. If it comes out over 2.5%, I'm selling everything before opening bell and avoiding the washout.

I still have my limit order on amazon at 1250.  Man missed the boat on that one. Let’s see what happens.

Tax free muni stuff isn't subject to the whims of DC.

Oh, sure it is.

2.1% if I'm reading this properly (all items index.)  Probably not likely to have much of an effect.

Had some Valentine's Day thing at my son;s school this morning, haven't had a chance to dive in... 

CNBC headline "INFALTION SURGING!!" 

Need to dive into the numbers and see the cause first. 

Nonetheless, I expect to see some TVIX trades in this thread today

Apparel is the leading cause, that #### surged, remove that and it isn't crazy. 

 

[fantasycurse42]

Gotta love CNBC though... They might as well change their headlines to "YOU WON'T BELIEVE WHAT HAPPENS NEXT, CLICK HERE!!!!!"

 

[fantasycurse42]

Whenever I look at SHOP I feel a little puke enter my throat. 

I was talking about waiting for pullback on that one around $70 & $90 about 6 months ago

NFLX is amazing

 

[fantasycurse42]

NFLX is amazing

I've been tracking FAANG since the fall at the beginning of the month with percentages from their peak to try and figure out who is the strongest... 

FB currently 10% under peak

AMZN currently 4.5% under peak

AAPL currently 8.3% under peak

NFLX currently 6.3% under peak

GOOG currently 10.4% under peak

CNBC is the worst abuser of the "Breaking News" in a piss-poor cable news industry.  Really annoying when you work in an environment where you have a screen on CNBC out of the corner of your eye.

No, the game isn't rigged.

I bought some AAPL last week while the market was tanking...still a great buy low IMHO...you can sell this in a few months with a 10-15% gain IMHO based on rudimentary tech analysis.

 

[TripItUp]

My Twitter holdings are up 80%....anybody have any strong feelings here...still feels like a buy to me despite the run up.

 

[fantasycurse42]

Not to be a pessimist, but it feels like this rip today might be a good spot to book some profits.  

 

[RUSF18]

Under Armour is up like 40% over the last week and I'm still down about 60% on my cost basis

Put what I thought was a low ball offer in this morning and got 500 TVIX at $8.60

Honestly, of all your TVIX trades (and I'll never buy an ETN ever again), this is prob the one I like the most. Tomorrow we'll get some selling.

Amazon go get me that money baby.

Back in ATRS. 2500 shares at 2.24

2500 more at 1.93. Gettin pummeled so far on this one, but PDUFA date of 2/14 has to count for some sort of pop. 

Out after hours at 2.25. FDA approved. Kind of annoyed, couldnt be near a computer for like an hour tonight and of course approval came during that window. So I had to have an order entered in advance. 

 

[TripItUp]

my single best stock purchase ever!

 

[John Bender]

I got in for 1000 shares about an hour ago at $56.5x and I couldn't be happier

A cool 6% gain.  EZ

 

[John Bender]

Also, NVDA is just an absolute machine right now - I don't know when it will stop.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

GB NFLX

 

[fantasycurse42]

NFLX & AMZN both closed about 2.5% from their ATH, although NFLX was the clear winner today.

I'm wading back into the pool, a little bit at a time.
Let's not do that crazy stuff again mmkay?

INTV is the stock to own from now till the end of the year.

also watching MYDX  otc stock closely - looking at the weekly chart on tradingview and at the macd, this stock is gonna boom in the same manner as previous marijuana stocks did in 2016.

 

[RUSF18]

Apparently owning it from yesterday wouldn't have been such a bad idea either.

If you take the multiple you effectively just bought 42 million dollars in apple stock or roughly 250,000 shares.

I only have 1200 bucks total in it. I understand if the company tanks it'll be worthless but I thought it would interesting to see where it goes.  

 

[culdeus]

You all should contact your brokerages and ask for your physical stock certificates to be fedexed to you.  So you can be like those old people that frame their Coca Cola stock when PEATF hits the DowJonesIA.
