Yeah I'm buying UPST among others, it was $400 mid October, now
$170ish. I'm accumulating shares in several of these, time will
tell if ends up being a dumb move. This has been a great time to
trade futures though, so helps offset some of the risk.
PATH- I've been catching this falling knife for a few weeks
now, I like the company and don't mind accumulating. I like
manipulating the CCI time frames and looking at divergences, etc.
Admittedly the chart still looks pretty bad and I would normally
wait a few days before adding more, however earnings are in 2
days, it will likely pop one way or the other. So I have
added to my position yet again, LOL. Not sure why I'm sharing an
iffy chart, I just like documenting my follies I guess. Good
trading all.
No worries, the info is still useful. I sold some SPY
puts(expiring today) this morning, taking advantage of the high
premium. If the market moves down substantially I'll be in at a
lower price, if not I get the premium. I should probably have taken
an SSO position, but maybe next time

Gotta say this volatility has been great for trading /ES
futures. I'd like to see a bigger move down, would love to load up
on some High volatility stocks

I trade options often, though I don't trade LEAPs. If you are
considering trading options based on Matt's systems, or some other
system that is fairly short term in duration, I would recommend
shorter term contracts. As short as 2 weeks to maybe 3 months out.
My favorite type trades are Calendar spreads and Diagonal Spreads.
Before doing any of that be sure you take the time to understand
the effects of volatility on options. As an example if you buy
calls after a quick drop in price of the market, you could be
paying a large premium to intrinsic value simply for the price of
volatility. IMHO, that is the best time to sell options, not buy.
When volatility begins to drop, the price of the option will
decrease, all else being equal. Sorry if you knew all this already,
I just get nervous when the fist sentence is "I don't have
much experience with options", LOL. Read lots of books, and make a
few practice trades before using real cash. Just my two cents.

First time in a few weeks I feel moderately Bullish. I've spent
the last few weeks mostly choppin around, win a few lose a few etc.
I bought some SPY calls at the close yesterday, hoping to see the
Bulls run a little for a few days.

Glad to hear that Matt, I agree with jtsurfah. I have basically
stopped looking at the newsletter on Youtube days. Thanks for all
your great work with the site in general though.
Matt, I agree 100%. My problem is each week I vary my opinion
between the Big Crash, it's over quickly/ and the death by 1000
cuts, nothing happens for a year scenario. My fear is that I can
tell I'm biased towards these 2 choices, I don't consider a
continuation move upward without a correction as a likely scenario,
which is dangerous to my profits.
