Greg, when you move that fast, some of us get hurt.

Yea kind of annoying; I get he doesn't know he will be in/out in minutes, but this does not work, I think most of us will get wrecked as I now am on this trade... :(

very annoying...a lot of people..and I mean lot of people not posting their true feelings on this matter

A lot of people don't like to mention something that went wrong for them because then they have to relive a bad experience in their mind all over again and also risk being criticized by some other person who thinks they could have done better.

I intend to hold the calls through this selloff and then "finesse" my way out. That's the beauty of the longer expirations. There's wiggle room.

Greg needs telegram for faster alerts in trades like these.

It would also help if there was a warning that he thinks it's going to be closed in mere minutes.

very true. i have found i am very cautious when it comes to his calls b/c there are so many factors to it, like this case in point now. and how much reserve you have to "finesse" it if duds out, etc. I've lost more following his trades than gained. but i am learning to use his trades as a small guide in a larger scenario for myself in my own trades...and NOT just doing what he does.

Too fast for me. I was in at 2.47, and now I'm stuck with it.

Yikes..I just entered the trade. Hopefully, it will be profitable.

There are a number of silver miners like (BVN) Buenaventura and (AG) First Majestic Silver that are trading at prices when spot silver was below 20 dollar silver. These seem like good plays for call options. Would you agree?

Do you stay away from the precious metal miners because the spot markets are far too manipulated and it is safer just to stack?

What are your thoughts. Best Regards as always.

Amazing Gregory! Thank you.

I entered a long call option yesterday (after I closed one for profit) but it was in the red. Hoping that was a good one

How is this possible when XLF is only up 3.3% on the day? Did it have a dip at some point?

Expand full comment

I think it might have been possible if Greg bought the options very close to the open as it would be slight cheaper than the price I bought in at a few minutes later.

he does that....sets what he wants at the beginning of the day....doesn't want to tell us though.....says it doesn't make a difference.......yes it does......my guess as to what he is doing

Expand full comment

xlf went up fast, very fast and he took advantage of it.....and he hoped we could all catch a "ride"......nope, not this time and I doubt if it will be the last time, too....bad news

Expand full comment

Yes, and he says that price doesn't make a difference, which is why he doesn't quote the prices of his trades. Of course price does matter a lot. There could be some ego going on with his fast day trades on Thursday. He had losses on GILD and CSCO that some of us lions finessed into wins. Maybe he wanted to get two wins over on us that we couldn't react to fast enough. I hope he doesn't feel the need to compete against us, but he is a street racer.

Also out just 3.3% profit though. Still a gain is a gain. Thanks Greg.
