NKE kicking it to a new high despite crap earnings

Description

Market is totally ignoring fundamentals or earnings, it's all about computer algorithms and making the DOW complete its pattern. DOW components are pumped to ridiculous levels to get that triple top.

According to my chart, DOW should top out Wednesday. We'll see.

Trade active

Bought some puts today, target is $84 next week but I might flip it tomorrow like I did with IBM.

Comment

Dow futures down AH on soft guidance from INTC, looks like reality finally setting in now...

Trade closed manually

Flipped the puts this morning

It's MOMO + FOMO. Volume: LOW. Gonna break soon. I thought 4/17 maybe topped but IMO u mite b rite. Soon real soon. Closed my hedge short for a push; no use to hold agin the tide.

I hold TECS calls; strike $14 October contracts trading for <$2. Will explode on correction. These are not for faint of heart and are quite illiquid. It's a buy-hold strategy; you vs. market-maker.
