  4. 2-2-06

    how many days after I posted the above did we get a sell-off in OIH/QM !??

    Is it a top? I don't know yet. Most think it is not, I'm sure. But we will watch and see. If so, plenty of time to get short. Gonna see if OIH forms a HS.

    I say it does!

    Of course OIL has been going up for so long many forgot was down looks like! That's typically how tops begin.

  5. GOOG

    I say short GOOG - we are within 5-10 points of a st top.

    If I had more available funds right now would get into ITM puts and/or sell DEEP ITM c with atm call. Just don't feel like messing with GOOG having not traded it much recently.

    (I know- at this level its a buying opportunity)

  8. CME

    OK - I forgot every dip is a buying opportunity for some dip-shit. But it ain't over yet! Any idiot wanting to buy CME at this level is just that - an idiot! But what fun would it be if it didn't go UP and DOWN! But in order for the smart money to distribute stock they want out of -- they gotta get enough suckers into the stock at the highs. Happens every time. No different this time.


    It will still see <400 IMHO.

    But because of the buy-every-dip mentality I sold some lower strike CME puts.

  9. APOL

    the sun is rising! maybe ? :confused:


    DNA

    I leave for a few hours and when I return its all GREEN. It's all good.



    I think the saying should be changed to -

    "It's so EASY being green"

    :D:D

    Now is this head-fake distribution b.s. on these two--- or do we got some legs here?! I'm in the neutral zone - but hopefully the train is just leaving the station.

  10. IMCL

    you are going back to 35 - aren't you?! In fact --- I know you get pinned there or <35. Just got a hunch. Think maybe I should have closed the put side of my 35 straddle. No wonder they were holding the puts at .60 while the calls were only 280 near HOD.

    Yep - we got your #. :p
