    Netted about $1500 in under 24 hours. I bought 40 contracts of a PUT spread. I was debating buying more, but this was a riskier play and could have easily gone the other way - I didn't want to overdo it.
    Hey, I'm happy for waking up in my hotel room this morning on vacation sipping coffee and clicking the button to make $1500! A nice way to wrap up my little vaycay and head home.


    I've never been so satisfied for playing with dicks!

    Risked $1000 to win $1500, not bad. Seems like every retailer is getting slaughtered one by one. Macys, Nordstrom, Pier One, Dicks, American Eagle Outfitters. Anyone that has a store in a mall is getting smashed.

    Actually about $800 risked, but yeah, one by one they are getting slaughtered.
    Companies like Amazon are doing to brick-and-mortar retailers, what companies like Walmart have done to mom and pop shops in the past years.

    I was about to pick up some RL puts today because they report tomorrow, but changed my mind because of the market activity today.

    Thankfully the only positions I had today were some Twitter CALLS, but they were stopped-out - only lost a couple hundred on that one.


    I did buy some DIA PUTS today before the market closed. I had some a couple of weeks back but they were stopped out.

    I think we could very well see a continuation of what happened today. I was going to get a closer expiration, but decided to get June expo instead so they have about 1 month until expiration and won't be quite as volatile.

    There was Target today. They just chose the wrong day to beat.

    I am absolutely shattered. I woke up at 3:45am past 3 days. Going to bed at 9pm. I am so sick but something was up.

    The Trump noise has been on ignore for me until the market says it's real. Well, game on. Please cancel the whole Trump effect. Pleaaaaase.

    Ford lays off. So that's fun and my favorite

    We have been waiting for 8 months for this mood shift. You can potentially make your biggest returns on days like this if you come in flat.

    Will it continue tomorrow or will the big guys buy the dip. We will see. Hopefully they do and get smashed.

    Beautiful times and stay loose.

    Sanlmar was referring to the options market today. A day like today can make your year in trading. Tons of puts on banks and high tech names were up 1000%-5000% today. Even if you bought them this morning, you could have made 500%+ on them.

    Got a feeling the big tech names are going to get slaughtered very soon, especially AMZN. Got some puts but gonna fire a lot this week if they continue to climb. Buying puts that expire later this month. Longshots too, way out of the money.

    Please post the options you've chosen

    What leaves me uncomfortable is that many are piling in (Fat fraud Cramer & co). Doesn't make it wrong but traders might rip their face off with a little squeeze

    Fun spot. Kill it.

    Most of what I bought last wk is pretty much worthless. So what else can I do but buy some more?

    Added today:
    NVDA June 23rd 150 put
    AMZN June 16th 1000 put

    This market is going bonkers. Tesla is worth more than BMW! NVDA and BABA are going crazy too. Fear of missing out is the current play right now. Hopefully rushing for the exits is around the corner!

    Was just about to post.

    Excellent AMZN. AMZN is my personal playground

    Very very interesting market today. Things aren't right.

    Pay yourself by cashing a few contracts. You will think more clearly going forward.

    I am just scalping nickels & dimes compared to you tbh

    You see that spike on AMZN down to like 927?

    At first you didn't think it was real.

    Someone was trying to jam the futures down. You see this on a lot of heavy tech charts as a result.

    Amongst many great stories today. Live for this shit.

    Oh baby, game on...

    Crazy action today. Little disappointed by that rally into the close but hopefully that was a trap for next week.

    Enjoying your success

    Which is a bit ironic because I am reveling in everyone else's suffering. Restoring order in the world as I understand it. Gratifying.

    2:45 --> 3:00pm you're gonna see the future.

    If it were me I would have a plan Snake. Fear or bargain hunting. It will portend the short term vs your ticking options clock

    Damn entertaining
