  I know what you mean pt...however, the strange thing is that I NEVER ever saw it hit the $70's...i was happy it hit the $90's and then boom...the next day it imploded!
 
 it was almost like a few big hedge funds cornered it enough to trigger the expected action from CS.

  Eerrieee....almost like ppl are waiting for the other shoe to drop or expecting this bounce to pitter out or waiting for the next set up to align...
 
 If one "trades"; what happens next shouldn't really matter no? it would then be a matter of playing the "swings" to meet one's profit/risk tolerances.  For B&Holders, it was a chance to dollar cost average at a discounted price from the recent highs.
 
  
  
  
  
 
 probably won't get much action till the next earnings season...

  LMAO....who let the dawgs out????
 
  
  
  
  
  
 
 I think I'm kinda liking the leverage from options; not that I know anything about it.  Like a blind squirrel who found a nut...AMZN, BABA, and NFLX calls just went nuts!

  @four...sometimes I think I am over thinking about things!  Options are addicting!  Do you know of any free online calculator that would tell you what the approximate jump in option price would be vis a vis a gain in the stocks' share price?  I don't know how to tell if an option price is cheap or expensive relative to the share price.  I mean, none of that mattered when I picked up a bunch of OSTK, NFLX, AMZN, or even EEM.
 
 SPOO crossed up EMA50; don't think we will re-test the high (I wanna be wrong)...big boys may dump in order to remount.
 
 Here is where I get confused....take the profits or risk losing some of it by waiting for a "signal".  I know....it is a "ME" problem.  ;=P
 
 Thanks for the encouragement; not sure if it is luck or skill!
 
 Sold EUXL and may sell the remaining ETFs and AMZN....

  Mostly in cash.  Tested a small position on SPY Call option.  Kept GASL.
 
 Happy with KORU 17%, NFLX 8% and TQQQ 10%.  Rest had minimal gain/loss for a wash.
 
 Does anyone know what a good replacement is for XIV and shorting VXX?
