I recommend that new lions create an Excel spreadsheet for tracking their paper trades for several weeks or months to prove that they are good at trading before doing real trades.
correction: it was just under at the high today what it was at close - but still i'm down 20% tho I was at break even at close. just trying to figure out option pricing as it's certainly not straight forward. i might buy more today since it's so down price wise (not necessarily so down strike wise...)
The option price dropped because it moved away from our Call price from yesterday. If the price would have moved in our favor then the option price would have been higher, so no problem just average down and it stock price moves up you will be showing a profit.
hey! the prices changed so much on aapl in one day. i was break even just before closing (tried to sell a few, but couldn't fast enough) it opened higher and i'm wayyyyy down. must be vega? are you buying aapl today or waiting to see what it does - if it dips more?
I added 3 contracts at the low just while ago and I was at break even at close too, so I'm averaged down nicely and if AAPL moves back to $142 I will pull a nice profit.
really at $142? i guess b/c you bought lower this a.m. i need to hit at least 144 to just break even. i'm not too worried as it's dated june and it's aapl. just curious how much averaging down i should do. thanks!
I cut my entry price from yesterday in half this morning by buying 3 contracts at the low and I will be showing a profit before it gets back to $142 hopefully if it doesn't take another dive.
i just bought a bit more now. i was not able to this morning due to emergency. is it vega that causes such a price difference even tho it's not much of a move for the underlying?
I closed two thirds of my position with a 10% gain and let the last third run to a 20% gain, now I'm out. Awesome day and an awesome week! I'll be donating 15% to Orphans.
I thought about going short, but I checked my emotions and held my longs and bought more longs. Big time gains today! Thanks for helping people keep their feelings out of their money decisions.
They are chasing to get vaccinated themselves. People in Los Angeles, waiting in lines - these are people who are not at the supposed top of the list hoping for leftover vaccines to get their shot!
PS My advice to our LIONS is to ignore everyone else and LISTEN TO WHAT YOU SAY. We can ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU TO KEEP US STRAIGHT, so, it's up to us TO PAY ATTENTION!!!

for me it'll take a bit longer as i took profits yesterday and then re-bought unfortunately at the high b/c it looked like it was going to keep going.
AAPL catching a bid finally!!!
i just bought a bit more now. i was not able to this morning due to emergency. is it vega that causes such a price difference even tho it's not much of a move for the underlying?
Shawnjust now
If you want to short the market, swing trade vix. The put, short market is trading on non fundamentals. Play volatility, not doom.

People hear only what they want to hear Greg, unfortunately for some it is in their nature!!!
Nope u didn't say short, people need to listen to u
Thank you Gregory!!! I too bought the dips yesterday. Very grateful for your knowledge! 🦁
You nailed GM. You did say don't sell this market. I also bought the dips yesterday and I am freakin killing the market today.
I bought yesterdays sale prices and today I've already hit my dailty goal and 4x it!
I'm happy thanks Greg! I bought SPY calls march 19th and April 16th 381.00 and 376 OTM and now way in profit!
same. finally a win!
Same here. I get giddy at 9+% then sell. Perhaps too early, but I hate waiting to see if more comes in.

You were crystal clear about it
I hope they limited their losses! Just saw on CNBC, people called vaccine chasers, you can't make this stuff up!
you mean they are chasing the vaccines for themselves or to force it onto others?
They are chasing to get vaccinated themselves. People in Los Angeles, waiting in lines - these are people who are not at the supposed top of the list hoping for leftover vaccines to get their shot!
You honestly can't help some people who have their minds made up or have a touch of greed.
I'm surprised people email you. Do you actually answer them?
Anyhow, thanks for the advice. I'm flying pretty good now, though selling too early; but profit if profit.
I don't get it... If you know the Fed is going to dump more cash into the market, why would anyone short??
That was a rhetorical question lol.
