Trade Alert – Everything you need to know about $TWTR and locking in some $GSVC profits

I’m so disappointed with how Twitter’s management and bankers have brought this company public today that I don’t know that I’ll ever invest in Twitter. See, by my calculations, $TWTR just left $1.6 billion of shareholder money on the table by pricing their 80 million

Trade Alert – Locking in Softee profits and noting how mea culpas are key to success

There are times when stocks are boring, rangebound and steady-Betty. This is not one of those times. Even as the markets seem to be having a hard time breaking out to meaningful new all-time highs, there’s just a continued wild undercurrent in many of our stocks. I make many

Trade Alert – Tesla crashes, we mostly move on

Just a quick trading update for now, more to come in a bit. Tesla’s quarterly report was exactly as I’d expected, not up to the elevated expectations. So the stock was off about 10% earlier this morning and is now off nearly 15% an hour into the trading

Trade Alert – Earnings round robin tournament

I haven’t seen a lot of the movies on the list, but from sheer disappointment, I’d go with Godfather III as the worst movie sequel of all-time. And from just plain horrible unwatchable-ness I’d vote for Rocky V. Let’s run through some of our portfolio stocks

Trade Alert – Volatility buyback and a tranche of bubble puts

One of our shorts, $IBM, is down pretty big today after an ugly earnings report last night. One of our longs, $INTC, is down fractionally and there was nothing earth-shattering in last night’s report there. Another short of ours, Goldman Sachs is down pretty big today too after a

Trade Alert – A sell, a trim and a buy walk into a bar…

I used to finish my “Cody’s Shot Clock” segment on Fox Business by reminding people that “the only thing permanent in life is family.” And family is the primary, number one reason I quit my TV career and left NYC to come back home to the mountains of New

Trade Alert – Buying back some puts and some true fairy tales

I’m buying back the PCLN puts I sold for quadruples earlier this week. Using December $950s. And that’s it for the trading for me today. Dollars, currency wars, volatility and gold. Lots to hit on here today and this will be one of the rare times you will

Selling a tiny bit of my PCLN puts which are up some 300% today.  And I’m selling the last bit of my VIX calls for a huge homerun too. Still cash heavy and very hedged with my recent puts and shorts. Just gotta lock in some of these huge
