It must be realized gain and also everything after the fact. In this industry, no one is going to give beforehand information.

Do not have FOMO after reading that post, that is all I say.

This time, I learnt a trick of playing spy calls until the peak and then turn on spy puts at the peak. The peak , I mean until last minute - which is hard to judge ! This exact scenario came in Jan 26, 2018 and last week. It repeats, but rarely comes.

They spent $4B. The gains are $4B, so they doubled their money. It sounds like they haven’t closed the position. A position that big will lose value as they sell it. Now that it’s public others could start selling tech stocks to crush the SoftBank position. This makes the Ackman vs Icahn Herbalife battle look like child’s play. I suspect before it’s over there will be some really good buying opportunities.

As big as $4B is, it doesn’t cover their loss on WeWork.

Most the hedge funds/big funds employ consulting firms with some asset allocation software. They always hedge against potential value drop and roll it on.

Al most all billion range funds hedge against some fall as an insurance.

See here how CalPers escaped

43% of retail investors said they are using options, margin, or both

Strong open :wink:

Correction can’t be over, right? So STFR?

See the effect of TSLA, 15% up since you bought $330, you should keep accumulating when bottoms (like the same way you did for AAPL) !

Next 2x, you can count BYND…

SPY held 50-day moving average where a lot of the tech stocks didn’t. XLK held the 50-day.

Back from yard work and so many reds? Anyhoo, QQQ is strong, still trading above 23.6% fib.

This is going like Feb-Mar back to back UP and Down, scary ride…daily unexpected changes.

So you have the experience, expect you to outperform splendidly.

I can make some, but not easy. This may change daily, hard to guess which way. Wrong trade results big loss. The safer is to stay away and watch the fun !

Banks/Market makers won’t give any clue which direction it is going to turn and both directions go wild way.

We have about 15% cash for my trust, a very high amount. Why so high?

Why so low? Shouldn’t it be 50%?

And I am in no hurry to spend it. Do you that almost no stock I have suggested you buy on a pullback his hit any of the levels that I suggested or hoped for. That means you wait.

None of my targets hit 200-day SMA! Some even hover above 50-day SMA (didn’t check 20-day SMA).

The issue with Cramer’s statement is too late, after 10% of Nasdaq came down.

For investing millions, buy and hold, 30% cash is best - Kelly criterion.

For trading, swing trades, 70% cash is fine.

Rotation? Industrials, consumer staples and utilities are doing well.

Correction…It is going as expected…it will bleed further and will stop very slowly, takes time to settle.
The last stop will be too painful (two times) and then jumps fast after the second pain.

Long QQQ calls! Now red, bet on a Monday dead cat bounce.

May be, but I am just staying away as I do not have any clarity… no bets !

See all indexes, VIX and gold are all negatives. Cash is the king !!

So far so good :slight_smile:
