I sold some OOM puts. Might as well take advantage of higher volatility.

Thank you for reminding me.
STO 2 NTNX puts ($42.50) 
Make premium or being assigned stock is ok. Previously sold 250 @$53 so no harm done. Prospect of NTNX is very good given so many businesses are going cloud and replacing corporate network with private cloud.

I just woke up. 
Bought 10 FB calls around 9 and went back to bed. Whatâs the big deal?

FB, holding 12 shares.
AMZN, waiting for it to hit 50-day SMA before buying 1 share 
NFLX, waiting for it to hit 50-day SMA before adding. Holding 6 shares.
GOOG, waiting for it to hit 200-day SMA before adding. Holding 1 share.
Slowly accumulating F10 stocks. Is overheated now but after cooling off should rally again.
When in accumulation mode, wish for prices to decline 
BAT is still green⌠no plan to add.
A sign of China eclipsing America.

Only 3 months into the 5 year period and already declaring victory?
The jist of the Facebook âscandalâ is that Facebook is too good at what itâs doing. It knows a lot about you through your actions and in turn can target ads like a laser beam.
Zuck is a super talented leader. He married a Chinese girl so he has much better taste than certain rocket playboy too. I donât have any doubt Facebook will continue to do well. Give it some time. The current narratives is against it. Remember when it IPOâed and all the dumb ass journalists made fun of it? How dare a company with no profit has a 100B market cap?
So did you buy any at the IPO price or lower?
Bought some at 19. Was it ever that low? Or memeory playing tricks on me?

Have you kept it?
Donât remember. I bought and sold over the years for money management purpose. I canât promise those early shares didnât get sold. 
Just bought 5 more FB calls. Bought a total of 15. Sold some underlying. Also bought some MU, WDC and TWLO.
Not only Zack is intelligent, but also others equally running the mgmt including Tim Cook.
It is hard for Google, AMZN, FB to cross above AAPL before it hits 1 Trillion Mark.
Chances are there for AMZN or GOOGL, but that is late after 1T.
BTW: AAPL is changing screen, from Samsung made, to MLED and locally going to make it ! AAPL has the best quality in all their products and that is moat, esp handheld devices.
Actually, having the ability to hold long term is more important than having the right entry point.

Then why did you ask?
Just realized I forgot to buy some NTNX. Bought a few AH.
Because I like to preach the benefits of long term buy and hold as opposed to the type of speculative behavior most people are engaging in on this forum.

That has 50 years of history of the fortune 500 lists. The amount of churn in the names on the list shows that you canât really hold forever. You always need to be aware of what you hold or you might end up riding the next Kodak to the bottom.

50 years is a lot longer than most peopleâs investment lifespan. Youâll be fine holding Microsoft for 40 years, or IBM for 80 years if you get to live that long.
Shopify Inc Stock Could Flash a Perfect Buy Sign Soon
Maybe Shopify stock will surge to $160 before ultimately pulling back. Remember both new highs and a pullback are possible. However, the probabilities just donât favor buying Shopify stock right now.
Iâd rather wait for a pullback into support. If it holds, Iâm a buyer of SHOP stock.
Support is around $135 
Their secondary priced at $137. The stock dropped below that on the announcement then went up
