Tick, Tick, Tick
Shoppers! How the hell is it December 2nd??!! We’ve been living in lockdown hell and the time is still flying by! How can that be? They say the older you get the faster time goes by, which I totally believe. Remember those days sitting in grade school watching the clock ever so slowly tick to […]
Thanksgiving Piñata
Happy Thanksgiving Shoppers! I can’t remember the last time we spent Thanksgiving at home. We always go to my in-laws’ farm in south Texas. It’s warm, not far from the beach, we feed all the animals, cook, eat, and relax. Oh! And my sister-in-law wears a turkey costume. She really does! Sometimes we get a […]
What Was Your First Car?
Hey there Shoppers! Remember the first car you drove? Mine was my Dad’s 1971 Buick Electra 225 four door in a dark forest green. It was huge! I remember my sister and I were able to stand up in the back seat without our heads touching the ceiling and have enough room to lay down […]
A Quick Short Cheap Shot
Hi Shoppers, I think it is safe to say none of us likes the early sunset the winter brings. Even people who enjoy the winter cannot like that feeling that it’s 9:30 at night because it is pitch black out at 5:30 pm. Makes it so much more difficult to get that workout in after […]
Market’s Choice
Hey Shoppers! What’s up? I’ll tell you what’s up… Options volume!! This Friday, “Market-wide option volume of 34.2m contracts was 14% above recent average levels”. With expiration being this week, we could be in for some massive options trading. Of course this provides a ton of opportunities. We also have a new stock darling taking […]
Another Bob!
Hi Shoppers, So one of the inconveniences of the lockdown, for us girls, is getting our hair done. You know, cut and color. I ended up leaving my “beauty operator” (that’s what my Grandma called it and my sister and I always thought that was so funny) in the city for a more convenient and […]
HUGE Mistake!
Shoppers! In my last writing, I recommended a put spread in UBER based upon a doji I saw on the chart. Well, I failed to check UBER’s earnings date! Don’t EVER do that!! Always be aware of a stock’s earnings date BEFORE you place a trade. Earnings can send a stock soaring or crashing. It […]
Government Keep Out
Hi Shoppers, Wow! Hard to believe election day has come and gone, but sadly, not over. Way too much for me to unpack here. Instead, I would like to look at the ruling that favored Uber and Lyft. Can I just say, GOVERNMENT KEEP OUT! If the drivers cared about being employees, they would work […]
Social Arbitrage Can Be Real
Hi Shoppers! Today I am going to recommend a call spread in SNAP which is Snapchat, the communication app all the kids use and prefer over regular texting. I have to admit, I had to have Grant give me a tutorial on what it does, how it works and why the kids like it so […]
Don’t Forget Your 20% Off Coupon!
Hey there shoppers! As I was scouring through stocks to find the proper implied volatility versus historical volatility that I like to trade, I found Bed Bath and Beyond. At first glance I was shocked it is only $25 and looking more closely it is actually up 60% since its earnings report on October 6th. […]
