I'm nuts but I still like TWTR long. I think it'll hit 60 by November expiration dates ... hopefully not more than that as that is my new strike price

DHT, long.....another "new to me" one...just playing with these new ones to see what happens.
DHT Holdings, Inc., was incorporated on April 14, 2005 under the laws of the Marshall Islands as a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Overseas Shipholding Group, Inc. It is a crude oil tanker company. It operates a fleet of crude oil tankers which consists of ten double-hull crude oil tankers, of which all are wholly-owned by the company.

I did during the week of 8/15/2014.
Went back and looked, hard to believe that I have been using AAPL for 20 of the last 21 Weeks.
Anyway for what it is worth, over the last 21 weeks AAPL has managed:
Average Gain % : 0.68% Average Gain $ : $0.65 Average End Of Week Stock Price : $93.99
Of course all the above is on a Split Adjusted Basis.
Seems a good steady nag to ride.
AAPL - (L) |

EMKR (long ) Emcore Corp.
This stock closed Friday at $5.80; but the huge bump in vol. the last 2 days is what
got my interest .... so I'm just guessing this horse is a long shot.
From the little research I did they're in the process of changing the CEO. so
I'm guessing the stock play is a little difficult to predict. Who? & Why?
Portfolio of compound semiconductor-based products for the
broadband, fiber-optics, satellite, and solar power markets.
Founded in 1984
Hdq. in Albuquerque, N.Mex.
857 employees
Maybe look for me in the basement on Friday. ??

Bad close again today. Market appears a bit wary of something. Spooky. I agree , The fed is wondering what they will call the next QE.
How about; the ever increasing probability that rising interest rates will have a massive deleterious effect on assets across all spectrums? And how about; the serious implications posed by the strengthening USD, with regards to both the commodities complex as a whole & the massively underestimated problems presented by the 6+ years of Inflation suppression due to the FEDs policy actions?
There is really only one thing the FED can do at this point & that is to raise rates; however doing so risks setting off a massive sh*( storm, in which and whereby the FED will have no course other than to try and play catch up..
When We plugged all the available data from the last 6+ years into Our Models and then accounted for the information provided by the St. Louis FED at the beginning of September; well... The word Ugly doesn't even begin to describe what the Models showed, come to think of it We can't even think of a word that describes the result...

This could have several more weeks to run.....spooky. It's hard to see any good news immediately ahead to prop up the market. And the mid-term elections are almost here, which could have some bad effect (who really knows?). I'm just sitting and riding it all out. |
