Boiler Room: The Official Stock Market Discussion

[Swagaveli]

shoutots to me in the am. Flipped those CYBR calls for 40%. PDT cockblockin me for doing it again, smh.

TSLA puts would be some real nikka shyt, March or so.

CYBR will very likely have beastly earnings after bell today. Well just peep chart from yesterday to PM now and you'll notice what's up, lol. Need those 50 march calls breh.

SPY better calm the fukk down with that rah rah - retail sales in the US decreased more than expected and jobless claims increased. As soon as markets start realising the Greece agreement is non existent, there should be a nice dip. And yeah, got puts on deck...

 

[Futuristic Eskimo]

BOJ might be backing off a bit. that 140 USDJPY seems unlikely at this point.

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

Baker Hughes rig count tomorrow. Maybe why oil is up?

 

[Domingo Halliburton]

we set an all time high on SPY today for 70 milliseconds. Some algo was buying SPY 3% above the NBBO.

edit: pretty sure trade got cancelled

 

[Ohene]

still fukkin torn about CBS
the results are good so I see it going up to continue the trend...but i still see it heading back down. The question is what could cause it to head back down. Gonna open a long position for the short run. Might even try a spread

edit: its at 60 i'm long nex tpaycheck lol

So TSLA just skeeted on haters faces huh. Ok then.

Glad I wasn't in big on these SPY puts, SPY is sickeningly beastly right now brehs.

CYBR - I hope you took some calls yesterday, it touched like 55 usd after hours, and will without a doubt BEAST today. SMH at me for selling at 40%, those calls I had would be at like 400% today, but oh well. Atleast I profited. Sick earnings there.

What we lookin at today brehs?

DWTI looking like a buy near 100, for a flip to 115-125 next week.

[Domingo Halliburton]

What we lookin at today brehs?

seems like investors are rotating out of food and utilities and into financials

 

[无名的]

It's always interesting to see people dump a stuck after earnings in after hours and see it go up 8% the next day like GRPN

 

[Big Jo]

Props to whichever one of you brehs tipped me off to WTI a few weeks ago

Banks most affected by Euro + Greece could be a nice look, seeing how they COULD reach a deal Monday - I personally am a bit skeptic though.

Oh and DWTI 92s are epic buy if anyone wants em. SL at 90 and feast next week
