But at the same time, AMAT is a worth watching, too. >> [sighs] >> This is definitely open and definitely spreading. Wow, that's really spready there. Look at that. Yikes. I don't know what we're doing today. I'm not leaning on my keyboard. I'm watching Cisco. I'm watching AMAT. We could do the video long. I mean, I haven't gone long in 100 years, but we could do the market long. Cues are rallying. Doesn't make sense to me, but I mean, it's gapping up again. Uh, let's just keep watching things a little bit here. I don't think anybody should be in anything yet. Want to do the market? It's going to hit. It's already hitting. Stop would be 732.90. We could do 734 by 732.90. It's a big stop, I know. You could do an option if you want. And then we're just kind of take it up for a buck. If this doesn't hit, I'll go back and look at the AMAT, but the AMAT may not set up. I was kind of in the fence with that to begin with. No, this isn't ready, either. It's not ready, either. Okay, we're back around to Cisco. Cisco babisco. Okay, Cisco stop is going to be 11330. Oh, this isn't ready either. Nothing's Nothing's screaming take me, take me, take me. Okay, back around. 734 is valid if you want to do it. 734 by 90. And actually, if this doesn't hit like in the next 2 minutes, I don't think this is going to hit. >> [clears throat] >> Again, this is a long. Don't get confused. And I'll go back and look at the Cisco, but we could get a little tiny, tiny move in this. 734 is valid. Again, this is a long. It's like Friday the 13th, but it's the 14th. We go long, it is like Friday the 13th. It's like the Twilight Zone. No, it's not ready. And this doesn't look good at all. No, Cisco isn't ready. Apple's not ready. This I'm not going to deal with. All right, I I'm Here, let's look at oil. Actually, we didn't look at this. This is creepy, creepy, creeping up. Now, I don't see a day trade set up in this today, but this looks like it's going to get to the number, the 200 if you're in the calls. I have no ideas. No, it just broke the low. I've got bubkes. Here's Cisco. Stop's going to be 11380. Tight, tight, tight. Let's do 60. 60 by 80. Cisco short. There, get it if you want it right now. Get the stop in just to take it down to yesterday's low. If we can get there and out. That's it. We're not going the market long. It's wiggling and jiggling too much and A M A is a disaster. I wasn't crazy about this gap to be honest with you. We're going to talk about that more later. And then Joan, remind me. Joan had a question. K P R, we didn't do this yesterday. It did work. This was Bob's pick. Is Bob here? Um there's no volume in this. What's happening here? Here, this is trying to go. Nvidia's long. Nvidia's long. You could do Nvidia here if you really want to do it. I'd give it a big big big big big big stop though. I'm in this. Here we go. Did we break the low yet? You could do Nvidia long. Yes, we did. 36. You could still do this if you want to do it. Let's double triple check the stop. Again, you could go long Nvidia if you want, but it's a big stop. It's a big stop and it's already going. So, that was a maybe. Um I hope this holds here. Make sure the stop's in. 11380, it's do or die. I don't like these uh I don't want to say late play, but it's kind of late. I almost want to see this immediate strength in this. And you're sort of not seeing it here, but this very well could hold. I mean, this is a decent bullish gap. You know, we haven't done Nvidia in a long long time. Market's falling. I don't know why. We have a big big big number out at 10. Huge number out at 10:00. Here we go. Cisco, if you didn't do it, you could still do it right in here. Cisco, big number at 10:00. It's 25 minutes away. I know it seems like forever, but actually that could help help our trades. That could be the one number this week. Could be the end of the week, the Friday number at 10:00. The consumer sentiment number out could bomb the market. It's I don't know. I mean, again, I didn't take away anything from yesterday's numbers, even though the market did. Wednesday to me was a nothing burger, too. So, you know, who knows how we react at 10:00 with the number, but Here we go. Cisco Cisco Cisco Cisco under 112. Here we go. We've had a good week here with day trades options. I don't know. You mean, this market just doesn't want to seem to to break. And it you could go long it. You could. I looked at the spy yesterday. It was expensive to do out for a week. And then it retraced. I don't know if anybody even looked at this. So, this was like I was like, "Oh, did Should I have done this?" And I was like, "No." I mean, literally, it went up $5 and totally retraced. I don't know if anybody watched it. It was like This was not the big trade that you would have thought it would have been. And the spy is the one that made new highs. Go back over here. Here we go. Oh, Ackman is uh long Netflix, too. Did you see that? Probably saw that. That was like 2 days ago. The AMAT. Yeah, that's why we're not doing it. Again, you can't short every gap down. And you can't go long every gap up. And Tony's pointing out that this is crazy. I sort of agree with them. The lowest 497, and this ran up here to 517. That is kind of crazy. And it's still going. So, we kept safe with that. This is a little snail. You could have done nothing, or you could have done this. It's a little lunch money in here. Starbucks coffee. If we can get it under 112, let's see where we go. Time of the day is 9:37. Again, big number out at 10:00, which is going to be another number that people are going to talk about or that is the Fed going to raise rates? I don't know. Here's TVX. Actually, here's an entry long if you want to do it. It's already going. You could put it at 198.10. It's not half bad. It's a buck 20 up to 200. You could go long TVX right here if you want to do it. But if you're in the calls, I think you should be in the calls. It's I mean, again, if you did the trade I called a couple days ago. I don't know where this goes. If this gets over 200, this could really go. It's already over the area here. This is a nice solid This is the only thing I want to go long right now. It's good and solid and I feel good about it. But you could do a day trade right here. It's going. We're in this. It's a snail. Um again, this is snaily, too. Where's this going? I don't know. Maybe we get out of this today. This has a good run up today. Maybe I'll get out of this today. All right, Cisco Cisco Cisco Cisco Cisco. 9:38. Again, big big big big big number out at 10:00. Michigan consumer sentiment. How will the market react? Nobody knows. Nobody knows. Anyone still in the puts in this? I am. I'm still in the puts. Bob, are you here? Is Bob here today? I don't see Bob. Uh I don't see him. >> Oh, serene is still in it. Very good. It was too herky-jerky yesterday. We got a beautiful exit for the day in train. But again, then it went and then fell. So again, Here we go. Cisco, Cisco, Cisco, Cisco. Tesla was there news? I mean, I saw what it did yesterday. Again, to me this is just going with the market. Unless there was some kind of news on this. Cuz I still like this lower. Was there news out on this that I missed? Let's look at SpaceX. I think that's just up today with the market unless there was news I missed on the Tesla. This is falling. People were in love with this, wanted to buy the low in this they thought or so they thought. I think this is just stay away. I'm just staying away from this. This looks like it's going to come down and break 135 again. Happened in Nvidia. This looks good. We're almost at 200. It's a nice solid options trade that you can rely on and we can even do another trade here. It's just, you know, how many trades do we want to do? It's tough to do trades on a Friday unless you really know it's going to go that day. All right, here we are. I want to get out of this with profit. I don't even care what it is. We had a good week. Got to get get it down. Here we go. Tony is long space X at 106. Well, if you're going to hold it for the rest of your life, I mean, it's fine. But, technically, you could sell it today with profit still. What if it breaks 106? What are you going to do with it? Are you just going to hold it for the rest of your life? Cuz it could come down and break and break again. Here we go. 112 112 112 and we're through and a push. Cisco, anybody do it with me? Or you could have done nothing today because literally it was that kind of morning. It was that kind of Friday morning where it Again, there was only thing to watch was A Mat and I wasn't crazy about it and I'll explain why in a minute. And we didn't do it, thank God. Here we go. Under 112. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. One more push. One more push. One more push. Cisco. I mean, this looks like it's going to break yesterday's low. 48. No news on Tesla, yeah. I think it's just up cuz of the market. Here we go. We're going to break it. 9:43 on a Friday in the summer and it feels like summer now. Like everybody's on vacation. It really does. Look at the volume in the market, actually. Look at this. This is like not even worth rolling out of bed. Again, yesterday we rallied, but it wasn't a lot of volume, either. So, tough to really get the conviction to go long. Again, you can't deny the spy made brand new all-time highs. But, I mean, with this kind of volume, we're like, I mean, AMAT has more volume than the market. Cisco has more volume than the market. I'm still in this. Did anybody get out? You could have just made a little teeny weeny 12 12 0 1. 943 number of 10 number of 10 number of 10. We have any big things next week? I think we do. I think we have Walmart. I think we have Target. I think we got the some retailers next week that could be some good ones. You could be out of this. You could be holding this. You could put the stop at break even. I definitely don't want to be in this all day. I don't think anyone's going to buy this. So, one piece of conviction I have, I don't think anyone's going to go long Cisco today. But, here's the market. Let's go back to Nvidia. No. Here, we're over 200 in CVX. Let it run. Let it run. Let it run up. Is anyone in the calls? This was a nice solid trade. When I saw this yesterday, I said, "Whoa, I'm happy I'm in this." I'm very, very happy. God, look at this awful thing. Phew, thank god we didn't do that. Uh gentlemen long CVX and got out. Yeah, that was a quick trade there. It was a decent stop. I better not get stopped in this Cisco just because of this market rally. We had had a perfect perfect perfect entry. We would have got it in here. We would have got it right in here snug as a bug. I could have. I looked at it. I looked at it before that hit. Krishna got out. Is anyone in this with me? Or did no one do it? Am I alone? I'm not talking about the option. I'm talking about the day trade. Todd's in it. Let's look at SanDisk. Whenever I think of Todd now, I think of SanDisk. This had a big move yesterday. Is it the turnaround for this? I do not know. But it did have a huge move yesterday. I don't know what it was or something happened, but it was right here like around 11:00. It ran straight up like a rocket like literally $200. Like it would I don't know if something happened here, but it went bump. Again, we do not trade this. It's very expensive, but this was completely insane. Was this responsible for the Q's rally yesterday? I got to I got to say yeah, to be honest with you. Remember, this sector helps move the market. Apple was down yesterday. A lot of things I looked at market stocks were down, but this ran up 200 $200 in literally 15 minutes and I don't know why. It had to be news or something or some big buyer stepped in and and it lifted the market. It held up the Q's. Whereas the spy then retrace. So. Just one of those things. Just going. All right, here we are again now. Back up again in the Cisco waiting. Any questions? Um any questions anybody wants to go over? Joan had a question, anybody else? We can just talk about some things here while we're waiting for this. Let's look at Joan's questions. You shorted APP. APP Oh, here goes the Cisco. What day was this? The 11th? I don't even remember seeing this. Um was there a reason for this gap? I mean, it definitely gapped. It definitely fell. I'm guessing you did a put. I I don't even remember seeing that on a scanner. Here we go, Cisco. But it did gap. Oh, you shorted it. You just shorted it. Very good. And we're back around to the low 12 112.01. Oh, this is just One more push or then I'm going to get out of it. I think it's going to do it. Let's see. But the 10:00 number could could help it. Could hurt it. >> I didn't really pay attention to what the A matter earning said. I I I looked at this. I saw it. I didn't rate it last night. Again, you never know what somebody's going to look at in the morning. But this is one where people are buying this for a gap fill. You can I mean you can see them buying it all the way up. We didn't touch it with a 10-ft pole. And we are we're back down. But there really was no earnings this morning. So it was only the last night things, but I find interesting that oil has been rallying this week. And the market has been rallying this week. Usually it's the inverse. So that that also I find very interesting too. Oil didn't fall this week. Again, I don't think the controversy is over with the war. I think if anything's going to happen, it's going to happen well before the midterms, which are in November. So I think it would be this month or nothing's going to happen. And it'll just drag on and on and on the way it is like this. With rhetoric back and forth and the strait being closed. I don't know. Okay, this actually looks pretty good even though it's slow. Check this here. Where did we get to? 36. Uh uh uh was a downgrade? Okay. We'll go over in a minute. I just I might get out of this any second here, so I don't want to look away. Any second. We did very well this week with the fast trains. That's the name of the game and it's going to be next week the same thing, too. Again, it's the end of earning season, it's the end of summer, it's fast trains, which we normally should be doing anyways. Um you know, the market is strong. I mean, it's made new highs in the spy. The Qs are they finally going to make a new high? I have a question mark. I really don't know, but they might. They might. 7:48. They're definitely closer now. Oh lord, this is really very slow. So, the number could make us rally more. The number could make us drop. Although, I really don't think we're going to drop anywhere big because I mean, people don't seem to want to sell right now. For whatever reason. People are holding tight to their longs. Otherwise, we would have dropped. So, even if we fall, I don't I don't think the sell-off will be big. Unless something else happens today, but I don't think it's going to be that's really on that number. Plus, I don't know what's happening here with that. Where is the SpaceX? Again, you can watch the SPX get out of it today if you don't want to hold it over the weekend, or you can hold it over the weekend. Again, a lot of times things that have happened news-wise do it does happen over the weekend. When they bomb or shoot or do things, you never know. Well, I guess we're going to be in this for the number. 9:54, here we go. 6 more minutes and we'll know. We'll know something. It's really like finding a needle in a haystack when there's not a lot to look at. I mean, you really have to just decide your you're like, okay, this could work. Or I do nothing. I mean, that's literally, you know. And you have to be careful, you know. And you're like, okay, is this worth the risk? Like yesterday, I thought this should have continued more, but you know, the market rallied. We had a great exit on this yesterday, though. Here we go. Under 112, Cisco. Here we go. We just got the push. Here we go. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Come on. Squeeze it out. See if we can get it down to 80. 955 Come on. This looks good. Here, we just broke 90. Come on. Can we get it to 80? Can we get it to 80? Can we get it? One more push. I'm almost out of this. Come on. 83 Woo! Here we go. Break it. There, it did it. Out. That's it. I don't care. Good enough for a Friday. And it feels like the 13th. >> [laughter] >> But it's the 14th. And this probably keeps going. Wow. And we're out before the number. But the number could help. So, there we go. And we had a solid week. I came into this week I said we are going to have a good week this week, and we did. We did. We had perfect exits on things this week, too. The last 2 days we really did. But this could keep going. It Here, it is it's at 73 now. Look. Did it break 70 yet? Now, 72. I got I got that push down. Is anybody still in it? Gerard's out, too.
