Today’s Number(s)
Yesterday and Today
Yesterday
It was one of the first days in weeks where I felt I was catching on to this game. The market opened relatively unchanged, then the E-minis fell about $4.50. After that they worked their way back to a +$2 on the day where they sat for a while before taking off to the upside.
Of Particular Interest:
BONDS/TLT
The TLT opened slightly higher, but kept climbing all day on what indicative of short covering.
TSLA
Tesla came out with earnings after the close on Wednesday. When earnings were reported the stock was up $6.50 in after hours markets. When I woke I noticed TSLA was down -$10 after Morgan Stanky came out with an announcement about how fast they were burning through cash.
Morgan Stanky must have looked in their accounts and realized the firm was short large amounts of stock and decided to verbally abuse the stock. It worked until people realized that this is not a regular company churning out regular crap products. Who really cares if TSLA is loosing $400 million every quarter – start ups do that. By the end of the day the stock was up $6.
BABA
This is one earning that was an easy call. The stock was so hated for so long that even if they missed they probably would have been unchanged.
At the end of the day everything backed off their highs in a cautionary move preceding tomorrow’s long awaited unemployment numbers.
TODAY
We are 76 points from Dow 18,000 – again. We are 12 points from SPX 2,100 – again. We are $55 points from Nasdaq 5,000 – again. We are going through those numbers – again.
We have vacillated around these numbers o many time that people are getting complacent. Add to this the VIX is at elevated levels for current ranges. Then add to this the Fed counter-move and all the ingredients are in place for a HUGE relief rally – new highs, and a big run higher over the next couple weeks. The markets are about unchanged for the year, so the run higher will convince people the bull market is still alive. That will be a ripe environment for a surprise to the downside in June.
POT is held each Wednesday night at 7:00pm eastern.
We got into a great short-term leg yesterday with the purchase of a 1 day call spread. After the futures went from down -4 to up -6 we sold out a further OTM call spread to get into a wonderful condor for $0.30. This has us doing great into today provided we do not get more than +/-150 point move. The position is as follows:
Too True To Be Funny
Attorney Stuff
DISCLAIMER (Seriously!) All data above is provided for informational purposes only. Random Walk makes no guarantee as to the accuracy of the data.
Trading is almost as much fun as black jack in Vegas, but without all the annoying distractions of free drinks, Broadway shows, gorgeous people with low morals, and free buffets. It also has about the same odds of success, so when you lose all your money you wont have to walk past a smiling pit boss. Even Bruce Wayne lost everything with options in The Dark Knight Rises, and Superman keeps his day job at the Daily Planet newspaper.
We have the utmost respect for our attorneys who tell us any attempt to trade is throwing money out the window, and investing is risky business (still a great movie). Past performance doesn’t mean a thing. The future is even scarier. Random Walk and everyone associated with it promises absolutely nothing. We guarantee nothing. We wont ever do anything right unless it is an accident.
Random Walk only provides education (and a great cup of Starbucks if you visit our office). If you want advice please consult an attorney, licensed broker, tax consultant, investment adviser, etc. Random Walk, LLC is full of morons, dolts, has-been(s), chromosome damaged individuals, thieves, losers, and carnival barkers. Any attempt to find a semblance of intelligence or integrity in Random Walk would be a waste of time. We will sell products, but advise against buying them. We Do Not Give Advice.
When reading this you acknowledge that you agree to hold harmless Random Walk, LLC, its employees, independent contractors, authors, managers, owner(s), spouses, children, cousins, friends, bail bondsmen, and favorite bartender. In fact, you agree to grow up, accept some responsibility for your own actions, and stop believing the media that sells you on how nothing is your fault. You further agree in the antiquated and lost values that America is the land of opportunity and not the land of handouts. You agree any loss in the markets is a result of your own actions as we told you NOT to trade without consulting someone other than us.
All paper trades are SOLELY for example and to illustrate how certain strategies could perform without the benefit of hindsight and back-testing. You agree NOT to trade based on anything we say, do, write, advertise, etc. If we were smart we would be teaching high-school math and making the really big bucks. You agree to abide by the laws of your country and that it is legal to accept this transmission.
Every attempt has been made to ensure accuracy, but we are clueless. As a result it would be foolish and impossible to assure the accuracy of any numbers and/or come close to writing a sentence that is grammatically correct. You agree not to get on our case emotionally, physically, spiritually (no Voodoo dolls please) or legally when we screw up. We are doing our best to keep up with evolution, but it is a fast race and we are falling behind. If any of this stuff is too hard to accept please let us know and we will remove you from our mailing list and short term memory.
Random Walk deeply cares about each and every student. We try to keep the selling of products to a minimum. We believe our students are a result of attraction rather than promotion. This does NOT mean that the more attractive you are, the more we promote ourselves (in general).
Our products are written ONLY by floor traders, fund managers and retired floor traders. But that really doesn’t mean much. They are expensive and unique. That does NOT mean they (materials) come on a tablet of concrete from Mt. Sinai. . If you are still reading this, you will likely be the first to have gotten this far. No guarantee for accuracy is made. Nothing we do is audited and we make no promise of accuracy.
Because of the proprietary nature of our materials and the ease of electronic copying, all sales are final. There are far too many people who have no problem stealing our materials and putting them on torrents or copying them. These are the same low-life, selfish, whining, half-wit hypocrites that would cry like a newborn with a wet diaper if someone stole their car radio. They have to pay for our materials before stealing them, and live with their karma (and our legal team). Yes, we have caught a few and now have one person working on detective work solely.
Sales are far from our largest concern. If you are a whiner, complainer, or generally unhappy with life please go to someone else in this industry who values money over happiness. We can point you in the direction of other firms that only care about the bottom and top line. Jerry Springer can also point you in the right direction. Besides whiners are a total distraction from the awesome group of students we are fortunate to have. We are truly blessed and thank them (provided that is fine with our lawyers). “Thank yous” are only handed out in countries where legal, and void where prohibited. If your country does not allow “thank yous” please refrain from accepting it. This disclaimer is copyright material and not a joke.
