QUOTE(Myoswee @ Jun 29 2012, 08:55 PM) Ultimate short squeeze tonight Not squeeze-lah.. just short covering rally. The Macd and RSI are turning upwards.   Moving averages are also moving up. Just watch for opportunity to go long during intraday if you missed yesterday buys. I think it may fade back in the middle and late comers will start phase 2. My AAPL calls are up 18% already.. looking for opportunity to add more later.  |

QUOTE(yok70 @ Jun 30 2012, 01:13 AM) so bullish! although with good speculative news on Euro, but still wondering if today's rally is just an excuse for mid year windows dressing.... Already bought yesterday, thinking of adding more only. Waiting for a bit more pull back, then add more. you are buying today? i bit scare, still watching....  Market not giving back much. Don't be scare. Bulls are going to take charge next week if we close above 50MA tonight. $SPX way above that 1340 line already. |

QUOTE(yok70 @ Jul 4 2012, 01:52 AM) That's the beauty of Options! Congrats! ] There's beauty and there's also ugliness. It all depends if you're on the right side or not. If at the wrong side, it is a wealth destruction vehicle because of time issue. So, have to tread carefully.  Tonight, we got nice pull back here after the ugly job numbers. Let see if SPX can hold 1350 or not. If can stay above it.. go long with stop around 1345. IMO, this will help to setup a nice base for the next mini trading range (1350~1370). |

Anyway, both SP500 and Dow aren't looking too healthy tonight. Dow almost -200 pts. I'm looking for late buyers to come in towards in the end to bring this back up - for short covering otherwise I'll abandon my positions at $SPX 1349 by closing or get stopped out at 1345 whichever come first. |

QUOTE(zamans98 @ Jul 10 2012, 09:14 AM) I entered big chuck at 43,45 and 42. Now bleeding heavily. IMO, you're ok.. here avg around 43-44 area. When this thing move, it will move.Let this thing do its thing trying to consolidate at the lower 40x level. I think it got a few small gaps to fill. Hopefully earnings will bring this back to the high 49/50s level later. |

QUOTE(yok70 @ Jul 12 2012, 02:41 AM) LVS is really coming closer to 40 mark....should i buy yet? wondering how low can this market go before QE announcement.... Best thing to do is don't expect QE at all. Just keep earnings in mind..then trade into it to make profits.IMO, LVS~40 is attractive here. I would like start accumulating a few positions here.. let see how it goes.  But, for other reasons, I like the price action for MPEL better..  Added on July 12, 2012, 10:23 pmWhoosh.. got some LVS @ 39.50 and MPEL 10.05 here. I think we may see more weakness but I'll start accumulating here.

QUOTE(yok70 @ Jul 13 2012, 01:17 AM) below 40! my buying target finally becomes reality. Well... Vegas revenue shrinking..imo, non-issue and it's no difference since the downturn in '08. The following could be the reason for recent low. CHICAGO (MarketWatch) -- Nevada's gambling revenue fell sharply in May as declining volumes at both table games and slot machines cut into the take of the state's casino operators, the Nevada Gaming Control Board reported Thursday. Revenue statewide fell 10% to $885 million while the Las Vegas Strip, which accounts for more than half the total, slumped 18% to $475 million. The news helped drag down shares of gambling companies with MGM Resorts MGM -2.74% , Las Vegas Sands LVS -3.83% and Wynn Resorts WYNN -2.87% all down about 4%. LVS now getting over 80% of their revenue from Macau and Singapore but the slowdown in China could be the worrying factor. This post has been edited by danmooncake: Jul 13 2012, 02:20 AM |

QUOTE(yok70 @ Jul 13 2012, 04:02 AM) I see. Thanks for the info! China GDP growth rate was at 9.5~10% just a year plus ago. China seems to need to take a little while to get back on its "high growing feet". Nowadays for China, grow is not enough. People are expecting high high growth only feel satisfy! Consumers' spending power actually quite affected by news flow as many are not jobless, just about sentiment of spending. I mean those who can afford to go spend money in Macau and Singapore. Now, we talking about 8~8.5%, which is still quite a significant positive number which is line with their goal after cooling down. Just look at Europe: Growth rate: -1% This is the world 2nd largest economy and soon to be largest.. one has to wonder..sometimes what the heck does the street expect?

QUOTE(yok70 @ Jul 24 2012, 01:43 AM) cimb said US's 16tr debt ceiling due by end of this year. This may triggers Fed to launch QE 3 soon? Do you think this make sense? I'm not sure if QE3 is able to fix something that cannot be fixed with printing alone. This isn't about lack of credit or liquidity which Uncle Ben can turn on the printing machines. The US Congress must act to raise the debt ceiling otherwise everything will be death spiral (will be worst than the 2008/09 financial crisis). Right now, with the election looming, both parties just want to sit out and perhaps wait till the 11th hour. |

QUOTE(pinkdevil88 @ Jul 24 2012, 09:16 PM) Time to get some options and let the show begins. QUOTE(yok70 @ Jul 25 2012, 03:12 AM) QE3 is for short term boosting the economy (if it still could since it's already ver3, the past 2 versions seems not working too efficiently), so that they have more excuse to support the raising of debt ceiling (can earn back, as if optimistic)? If it happens, gotta have some buffer before the due date so that the market has enough time to response to it. I don't know, really. It's a tough issue. Yes, it is.. MPEL's PE is much better than LVS. Right now, got to ride down the wave here. btw, your MPEL is really volatile! Much more than LVS. I think SPX probably wants to revisit 1275 first before 1400. |

Whoa!! AAPL finally falling hard.. missed earnings expectations!
EPS: 9.32/shr vs 10.35/shr Revenue: 35 bln vs. 37.2 bln 2.2 bln short of consensus estimates. Missed both the top and bottom! This is going weigh heavy on Nasdaq. Even next quarter guidance is much lower than expectations ($7.65/shr vs 10.23/shr) Time to cover for this fruit. |

Don't worry guys.. the market is doing its thing. Sometimes you're right, sometimes you're wrong.
Just gotta to know your risk tolerance here. Right now, market wants to go back up. We're still in good trading range. Both AAPL and LVS got that gap to fill. Lots of people are going to sell into that for any pop. So, let see how it goes. |
