Could the market be putting in a top? Things are looking bearish by the day and with Israel under attack, I feel like the news will say that's what will drive prices lower.

Worst day in a long time for me. I did buy some TVIX end of last week though.

Yeah, high beta names are getting skewered.

MrPrena · 07-09-2014, 12:27 AM

Some of my holdings went lower than the Beta multiples.

Any of you buy TVIX? The market is taking a dump today.

I wouldn't buy until we're in a bear market, even if it's in the $30s then. I think this is a dip that we should be buying, I mean it's no different than any other dip these past couple of years.

I nibbled, but I agree.. just a dip the past couple days.

I think this dip will be abit more substantial but in no way do I think "the top" has been reached...certainly no evidence of that yet.

Don't worry when the time comes, I will have Def Con alerts coming...

You check out some of the sources we talked about yet???

MrPrena · 07-11-2014, 05:37 PM

Am I the only guy who is bag holding (not literally) TWTR at this time?

Any GPRO shorts?

Definitely! I am liking Ray Barros and Footprint charts the best. What's your opinion on margin debt? I was looking at some statistics and it looks like the amount of money investors are using for investing on margin is at record highs. Does this mean that retail is fully in the market and we'll be seeing it end soon? I, personally, think we'll see 2150 SPX but it's still not that far away for me to be comfortable staying long much longer.

What do you guys think about Hershey? They recently mentioned a price hike claiming increases in costs but I suspect it'll help their profit margins at least to some extent.

My logic is pretty simplistic - I suspect people who are addicted to chocolate won't be phased by the price increase. That's it. No technical analysis or anything. What do you guys think?

Hershey is trading at $94.66/share as of 7/15/14 after hitting a 52 week high of $108/share mid-March of this year.

NemesisX · 07-15-2014, 10:20 PM

P/E ratio is a respectable 25 at the moment for Hershey...

TWTR is getting really boring now.
AMD would be a real interesting one after 17th.

It looks stuck in its long term downward facing regression channel. Unless it breaks above resistance it will be going lower.

So how many people started looking into VIX and it's derivatives after it was brought up? Way too early to be touching it.

I've been keeping an eye on it but I'm not touching it yet.

MetsFan · 07-17-2014, 12:50 PM

Seems like the market is down across the board. Is the Malaysia crash to blame?

Whoever bought TVIX must be happy today at over 18% gains.
