Hey King Midas... it's me, GiO.... I tried to get disqus to work, but still no go. Maybe over the weekend when i have more time. ANyway, I guess I'll post here for now.

... unfortunately, I don't think my Blackberry will let me post comments on disqus format. I've tried, but that doesn't work either. Oh well.

Hey z... Fed needs to cut .5 to get us to close green next week. .25 cut will send us down another 200. Friday was so bearish for me... it's scary. I wish I bought IWM puts Friday. But whatever... I'll be buying some Monday at the close. Don't forget to buy GOOG puts early. The fall will begin before Thursday, why? Because YHOO reports Tuesday.

Have you seen SNDK chart? They report Monday. This company has been trending down. Good stranggle play here.

More puts.... I'm playing X on earnings Tuesday. I'm looking at ACH and TIE 6 month charts, and it's telling me something.

finally, my favorite stranggle play stock ... ISRG!!!!! Reports Friday. Always moves big after earnings.... ALWAYS.

Probably March. Z ... I NEVER play 50 / 50 stranggles. I always do 80% on one side, and 20% on the other. In other words, I pick the side that I feel most likely that the stock will head, and the other side is more of a hedge, and a pyschological move. ISRG, GOOG, MA ... my bias is on the puts side.

Now's the time to set up your ISRG stranggle. Buy the PUTs today, and buy the CALLS Wednesday. ISRG is up about $6.

This is a timed stranggle play.

BTW, short WYNN signal kicked in. I didn't enter, but just observing. Setting stop to 113.

My take on JNJ ... http://intuitivetraders.blo...

oops.. i didn't log in. Oh well, Ctrl C, Ctrl V:

Yup.. I'll be buying the call options in ISRG either tomorrow, or late Wednesday. I call it a "timed - biased - stranggle".

Please tell me you bought VMW puts too!!

My ISRG stranggle is in play. If you played it right, you should have bought the PUTS yesterday when stock was up 7. Today, I will buy the calls with the stock down 20. THAT's how you do stranggles. ;-)

Hey Z... just wanted to let you know AMZN reports tomorrow or sooner. You playing them? It's sitting right there next to that $71 support. I'm thinking of playing a bearish bias, or just 100% puts. The 1-week bounce will be effectively erased today. Bulls are getting weak?

I haven't shopped at Amazon in months! I did spend about $200 on table tennis junk on eBay last night. LoL! EBay is the best retail company out there, and they trade close to its 52-low. Also, check out ANF... great short there. HUGE resistance at $83. All related clothing companies are down... AEO, GAP, GES ... ANF is next, and the volatility is small = cheap puts.

Dow trading at 12,638. That's slightly above my retracement point of 12,596.

That was one powerful retracement.

BTW... buying puts in MA before the close.

Re: Market Top = SRS at 96 --- It's possible

intuitivetraders — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 18:29:10 -0000

I've got puts in Amazon. Quite frankly, I'm surprised AMZN is down after such a great CC. Dr Nova? Are you a real doctor? Hold on to your SKFs. They should move up another $20 from here and fast. You may also want to try SRS.

Aw, gee... spank you very much.

Beannie is good short term, but his targets are so ambitious and he falls in love with his trades too much. And yeah, he is a momentum trader. He's so in love with sOlars right now. Hahaha. I was one of the first to pick up on this sector...
http://intuitivetraders.blo...

... that was me, buying JASO in the teens, and FSLR under a hundred.

I stopped following Beannie when he was saying stuff like GOOG to $2000, BIDU to $100000000000000000000000000000, or FSLR to $1000000000. All he does is pick the best stock in the best sector at the moment... and pumps it like a Cramer. usually, at that moment, he's late to the party.

And what the heck are "over night day trades"? Whatever. If it works for him, good for him.

I like Z cuz he duz hiz homeworkz, gives you triggers, and exit points. Oh, and i'd rather post here than Tim, Beannie's or Fly's blogs. Too crowded.

Does anyone else out there think AFFX is a $8 stock? LoL. They report tomorrow, um, er, today.

intuitivetraders — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 17:54:32 -0000

Hey Z... you think this is bottom for solars? They couldnt even get green today. JASO was down 7%, then i covered. Rode that thing down over $10. So yeah, it's oversold. I'll probably buy calls with you next week. They report early February, so I'll keep an eye on for any pre-earnings runs. Currently, the run is down.

I knew it was too early to declare victory in AMZN. Haha. Crazy bears, didn't read the CC, just saw the AH price. Anyway, AMZN still sucks. i shorted it. As for my puts? Hmmmm. They're months out, so I'll just hold em.

Re: Jaso option solar

intuitivetraders — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 11:31:49 -0000

Good move on FXP. I'm with yah. My ISRG stranggle was crazy on it.... my puts were up 90% yesterday, sold 1/3 and used it to buy calls. Calls are up over 600% today. Mwa ha ha ha ha. Holding on to the rest of my puts now.

K, i'm off to go short something.

intuitivetraders — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:07:57 -0000

JASO in play... JASO showed weakness today, but I found that it was really outlining the overall market, ie, the DOW. I put a buy order in under 50. JASO does not go below 45. Its just not quite oversold for me at this point. Let me know if you make changes to your JASO call. thanks.

YGE!!!!! Solar flare alert.

Man, you hit it with those solars. FXP hitting days low too. When can we buy FXP? I find it easier to short FXP than go long.

I taking down financials. Shorted WFC.

Hey zee.... what happened to Mas?

Something is fishy with RATE. I'm buying a put bias stranggle tomorrow.

I like you're DHI short. I'll post it on my blog.

intuitivetraders — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:14:31 -0000

Why are you still holding on to your WYNN short? Just wondering. Next retracement is at $128.

Beannie cracks me up. On a day when the Dow is down 300 points, and the Naz down 2%, he picks one stock and it's green. He's good in bull markets, but he's way off in volatile markets.

There's a lot of other good shorts out there, like, DHI (great call Zeeeeee), and also your WM. In other words, load up on SKF.

Uh oh, YGE just fell through 22.50 .......... bye bye!

Re: 2008Feb04

intuitivetraders — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 15:48:36 -0000

The difference though is FSLR traded below retracement, WYNN trades above, I don't know if that matters much, I think it does. Hey, at least you didn't go long solars! Anyway, WYNN is up today because of LVS, so, I'd short it here too.

Wow, solars are UGLY today. This can't be good for our market.

Re: RSI 23 ---you think it doesn't mean anything?

intuitivetraders — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 06:16:16 -0000

LoL! He's observing someone else who hacked eBay. They are raising the number of items on their sellers account at an exponential rate. These items are fake of course. One minute they have 50,000 items, then 2 minutes later they have 59,342 items for example.

My guess is they are using some kind of scripting algorithm that goes through the "create item " form very rapidly. What eBay needs to do is have better verification controls. My friend in college wrote a scripting program so that we could immediately get a class once someone dropped it. LOL!!!! Basically, it refreshed the webpage and constantly clicked on "add class" until it succeeded. HAHAHAHAHA. I miss those days.

Did you see my little "Google Hack"? Gets you almost any song in mp3. hehe.

you've been pretty darn on it lately. I'm thinking about covering my shorts in Financials tomorrow. What do you think? Maybe half. If it goes down tomorrow I'll cover half, if it goes up, I'll add to them.

When are you covering WM?

Re: Short CME

intuitivetraders — Thu, 07 Feb 2008 03:37:02 -0000

Welcome to the dark side.

But CME is oversold. Kick back and wait for the next retracement level. You should short NMX, ICE, NDAQ, or NYX instead.
