Took BBAI profits at $9.17. (Fourth bite.)

Looking for re-entry at 8.50.

Be careful, those gains are just numbers on your screen, until they're not.

Just took a nibble on AMD 11/21 $240C at $10. It is flagging on the daily basis, and it has been on a nonstop news cycle recently. The 11/21 carries into their ER as well

---

To de-risk, you could sell the $250 to create a nice debit spread. Those are 8.60 x 8.70 right now. Or wait till it is $10 if it makes it for a risk free trade.

eta, if I was in the trade, I'd wait for $224 and sell the $250 against it.

Was considering that. But I think I'll wait to see where we are EOD and look to possibly sell the $260C given my 240C are already up ~20%

BBAI folks, where you at?

Bought back in first thing, so I can lose all the gainz I locked in earlier when it drops.

Don't be shocked if Trump shoots off a tweet in response to China along the lines of 'Bring it on, China will lose a trade war with the US'. Trump isn't one to let other countries get the last word. I'm just speculating but it fits more with his personality than 'ok, I'm sorry, we'll play nice'.

---

Also SCOTUS is scheduled to hear oral arguments on the dispute over Trump's tariff authority on November 5th. No timing on the decision (probably sometime in 2026, right?), but I imagine we'll have a lot of discussion about which side makes the most compelling argument. It's such an easy topic to fill the dead air of CNBC

I highly doubt I will outgain you on this one, just giving you a hard time.

Not directly tied to a trade, but us in the Ag industry are patiently waiting for the ruling on the antidumping investigation into the Chinese lysine. Countervailing duties are expected. This ruling could act as a bit of a litmus test for US manufacturers to make similar claims in other industries and really put the scews to Chinese production.

Trump is meeting with Xi at the end of the month. Trump likes to negotiate from a position of strength so it wouldn't surprise me if he escalates rhetoric with China leading up to that meeting. Our stock markets will go down a bit, but China's economy would suffer far more than us. Jmo

I wouldn't normally swing trade a single stock like this, but this thing is a highly speculative meme-like stock (unless I'm misinformed on it), has been crazy volatile this week, and I'm trading it on my 401k brokeragelink account.

I will potentially miss out on a ton of gains if it just keep moonshot-ing, but so far, there's been a consistent pullback the last 3 days.

I'll keep trading it while it lets me.

How do you track the VIX? I see you can google it, but is there some way to track it in your watchlist with your stocks?

On apple stocks it's ^VIX

nm - Spilner beat me to it since Apple uses Yahoo anyway

On Fidelity it's .VIX

The easiest for me is Trading View - it's just VIX and add it to watch list.

Flirting with green on the day thanks to BRKB (and WWR)...

SOUN and OKLO!!

We making volatility great again!

What say you 4 months later? I think it has a chance of another climb soon. My amateur skills suggest to me that we have a good chance to get 195 or above by Nov 7 (potentially a good bit higher on any catalyst news). But if there are any major macro drawdowns with conviction or bad news I could see a path to just above 150 by 11/7.

Looks like everyone is heading to lunch. Starting to sell a little

I just don't know why I didn't put my entire life's worth into the thing at $100. I put plenty and cashed out and continue to swing it along the way, but now only sitting on a measly 35 shares I have remaining at a $140 cost basis. Oh well, made some great gains along the way.

I think it's probably a future $500 stock, just not sure how long and how many ups and downs it'll take to get there. I say that knowing that it's already at an LOL $4.5 TRILLION with a T market cap

This is like being in 1997 and kicking yourself for missing out on all the big gains since 95. There's still plenty of juice in this squeeze. NVDA has staying power at least for a couple years and likely longer and is going to be heavily invested in most of the companies that come out of the forefront of the AI craze with wild success.

agreed....I keep buying dips on it, even if the top blows. It's a long any day of the week
