    4:15 PM ET possibly depending on your broker. I know I can move major index options up to 4:15 PM and some other options. Certain stock options may not be possible.

    Look into AAXN (non-lethal police gear and etc.) since it dipped this morning. All discovery evidence for the Minnesota cops is due August 14. The pre-trial hearing is September 11. The one should get us some fireworks. The earnings report came out today. They were expected to grow by 15.7 percent, but grew by 15 percent. It was trading a little over $90 per share and has dropped to $83. I think it still has good value and will rebound.

    Almost catastrophically fucked up today scalping FSLY. Intending to place an order for 50 shares, I accidentally bought 500 shares. Thankfully I had a stop-loss in that limited my loss to only a couple hundred dollars.

    SPY 51M volume. Tech pretty much down across the board minus FB very slightly up. Things started to get interesting today. Will monitor further next week. Pretty much on the sidelines waiting for now. Continuing to monitor the dollar as some big banks have covered their short position and it began to consolidate in a tighter range near end of trading session.

    We got such a big jump in the dollar and I had resistance at 93.99. Might get off to a jump Monday then pullback a bit mid week

    I think the resistance is like 1390/1380. If it breaks that it could be a long run down.

    WMT creeping up heading for earnings. Need 134.70 to break even on this 131 call because of how long I've held it. But if I can get a stead crawl up throughout the week, I may actually close this fucker green.

    Setting up for some pullbacks between now and the election. IMF reported today though that they expect the Fed to do even more, so we may not see capitulation as a result of these:

    Thats why I dont understand why Reps are being stingy with the relief and unemployment money. The more they do, the better it'll be for their election chances

    Happy to announce I’m up to just -3% on my stubborn HRB hold now. Was 10-15% in the red at one point. Still feel good about it following next earnings

    the broader GOP is making a calculation that they need to be able to turn the screws in the chance Biden wins so they don't want things too fixed

    Trump made a tea party guy his COS so hes throwing his body in front of everything spending wise, Mnuchin still being involved helps a little but the next stimulus bill definitely seems at risk of not happening any time soon

    Damn, makes me not want to post this, but it looks like things are finally setting up for a big correction here. Gold and silver getting absolutely melted right now as rates and dollar start turning up. But again, we need to see big and consistent selling to go down. Once it stops selling, the bots just resume the slow march up.

    I’m still 45% cash so bring it the fuck on already. Already getting FOMO as I haven’t done anything with my reserves since 25,000 DOW level. All new income is being invested but still have plenty on the sidelines.

    Silver, gold both below bottom of their trade ranges. Gold volatility bounced right off the trend line. 10 yr Bond yields over the top of their trade range. Nasdaq vol right near it’s trend line. I think this is a capitulation day but watching the volatility lines mostly.

    They are battling after hours right now. Volume up almost 50% today from the past few weeks. Almost 10M shares of SPY traded in the past 11 minutes of after hours trading. If buyers do not win this battle we could gap down hard tomorrow unless Trump does something ridiculous.
