All Bulled Up

Live review & some fabulous trades of size working well:

AMZN, ALB, FCX, GDX, BABA, LDI, GRAB, CRWD, VRT, ORCL, TSLA, ASML, EWW, EWC, UUUU, APA, RKLB, SPX

TSLA:

  • Lucky or Good, was bullish TSLA Thursday morning as called live > 354.57 with 390 PT. Specifically called out the LARGE March $355P that were sold and lots of bullish short-duration flow. Client was 1st to alert followed by Archna's eye on lots of UAO (unusual option activity).

  • As it turned out, TSLA ran past its fateful $420 "going private" level into 430 pre-market today as we learned Musk spent $1B in the open market to buy shares which made him $17B richer - a 1,600% ROI. Ironically, those $390C for 9/19 exploded the same amount!! Congrats longs!

  • I went over short triggers live this morning for a chase. That is also working: 414 - 405 -395

ORCL: short worked great for 50% of that earnings gap up!! ORCL short/TSLA long was an amazing pair trade. Now that Musk is pissed that Ellison stole Musk's crown as richest man, is it really any wonder Musk chose THURSDAY to pump his $1B market order?

ASML: swing long triggered as posted early last week as high conviction and is now up 10%! This is my "If $800 then $1000" idea.
