Great Morning

Closing Prices From Yesterday

Yesterday

Giggles…..

The market fell to SPX 125, the major support area I have been sweating. I had a LOT of things in POT set up for if we hit that number and went through it. Yet it was a double bottom that was not pierced.

We made new lows and new highs all in the same day with a Dow range of 17,006.91 to 16,663.26, or a range of 343.65 points for the day. The Fed announced that it had concerns about the rising dollar causing problems with the economy, and that was all that was needed for the markets to take it as a sign of no rate hike soon. Off to the races.

Meanwhile crude made a big low for the day as it cut through most of the support levels with the lst big one at 85.60 (left to be taken out). Keep an eye on that as it is a huge number, and some people are on CNBC calling for $60 a barrel oil. Good luck on that, but it is nice to think of.

Below is the chart of the double bottom we bounced off of today, and the nice “V” bottom.

TODAY

According to the technical analysts it is now safe to “get back into the water”. The new low and new high today means (according to them) that we saw the bottom. Ten (10%) percent corrections have to be renamed “3-4% corrections” I guess. And I don’t doubt them.

I do know one thing though, this increased volatility is scaring people. It is also a sign that the market is maturing. The steady up move every day was a sign money was going into the markets almost every day, and now it looks like said money is in, but shifting around looking for better returns from day to day.

TESLA

Tesla releases information on the “D”, whatever that is. Some are speculating it is an all wheel drive, others self-driving.

Pharmaceutical Companies

The Pharm companies really got hurt in some cases yesterday after anyone claiming they had an Hep B or Ebola vaccine got smashed after the first patient in the US with Ebola died.

POT is held each Wednesday night at 7:00pm eastern.

Gamma scalping last night

A separate update coming

This began last week.

Closed out of all positions on the close today after riding long deltas all the way down and all the way up. I will explain why in a separate update.

Too True To Be Funny

Attorney Stuff

DISCLAIMER (Seriously!)

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, Joe Kearnan, 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.
