    TTD after release. Their vol tends to be sticky/persistent.

    Closed EA at 5.78 this morning for a nice gain. Stock got hammered after. This will be my last earnings post for a while. I just want to thank everyone who has helped me this earnings season. Special shout out to @oldmonk @Kevin Schmit @newwurldmn account over 35% since the beginning of this season starting in late March. IB will only let me show 1m ago if I want to include today's results. I was able to turn my $500 account into +$700.

    I'm going to enjoy a nice early weekend and will leave you guys with my:
    Long ETSY 65/75/85 121C FLY for $3.

    This thread has almost 13k views! Very impressive. I am not a big fan of all the viewers and preferred when it was just a handful of us playing along.

    final fills
    Note both of these flys are synthetic but I am quoting them as regular flys
    Long the 60/70/80P FLY CVNA @ 3.25 risk. Stock should drop. I might not be bearish enough but vol is super bid.
    Long the 40/45/50C FLY @ 2.50 of risk.

    I really was considering buying a straddle on ROKU, its either going to fly or plummet. However the margin for error is to high.

    sorry guys looks like a loser on ETSY. What was supposed to happen happened, but sometimes it doesn't work out. CVNA looks good. And EPC we will have to wait until tomorrow

    My boss leaves @ 4 so I wont be able to place fills in real time but maybe we can still carry some general discussions.
    Long A 75/77.5 Strangle. Looks like a great winner. I was looking to just buy the puts but the vol was not to expensive and there was some large upside scenarios so I ended up buying the strangles.

    Does anyone have a position on PLCE? Seems like what is going to move the stock tomorrow is how the Gymboree brand is doing. I think the stock is going to get almost cut in half! I was looking at some scary data over the weekend. I took a quick look at what analysts were saying today and the stock is being showered with upgrades. If they disappoint, I can only imagine the flood of downgrades.

    Sorry I can't give real time trades guys - So take my posts with a brick of salt. They might be edited to fit the current market conditions.

    Since we last spoke. Tomorrow should be my biggest day if A holds these lows.
