  • snowbound: $TSCO Is mounting its pivot above the 50SMA DAILY . I was warned that this stock has a mind of its own so I'm thinking the 50 might be safe ( ? ) earnings 04.21 . This seemed to follow $GWW and $FAST into the hole . $GWW did a nice rebound .

  • wanda1616: @wanda1616 $GWW $FAST i think...earnings yesterday
  • snowbound: @wanda1616 $GWW $FAST $GWW is only a 5% break although it looks worse to me on the chart . I don't own it but I know Scott was watching it at the top of the V . I can't help but wonder if there is potential in it being taken down to the 50SMAd on the back of another earnings report , also the VWAP .

  • Mitchell: 1/22/2020 Trading Notes $ANF - snapping a 3-day losing streak on the test of the 50-day EMA $CSX - shares are pulling back to retest the prior resistance level at $74 $CTL - up for the fourth consecutive trading session, now breaking out above $15 on increasing volume $GWW - retesting the 50-day EMA (bounced on the last few tests of the moving average). Earnings are due out on 1/30. $JWN - pulled back to the 50-day EMA over the last 2 weeks, but it is still prudent to wait for a stronger sign of strength before considering a bullish position. Earnings are due out towards the end of February. $T - shares are trying to sustain a move above resistance at the $39 level. Earnings are due out on 1/29.

  • Reif99: $GWW holding break above 200 DMA - so far
  • Reif99: $GWW successful test (so far) of the 200 DMA/Top of range. Pretty extended, but you could buy it here with a 1.5% stop.
  • Forexpro: Re: $FAST, $GWW

    Hi, Friends,
    '
    This weekend's Barron's cites $FAST and $GWW as two companies that are potential victims of Amazon Business. Could be, I suppose; the piece notes that $GWW trades for roughly 17.5 times estimated 2019 earnings, the ver ...
  • Forexpro: Re: $FAST Here's the chart of $FAST, to go along with that for $GWW. All the best!
  • indigo1948: @Forexpro $FAST $GWW - previously held $FAST - I am not sure how Amazon will impact them but, as you said, it is very overbought. I only wish in hindsight that I had held it for a longer ride - but it was a profit. All the best from snowy Chicago.
  • CraigReynolds: @Forexpro $FAST $GWW Thanks for post. Always interested in view points from Baron's.
  • Reif99: @Forexpro $FAST $GWW I don't see GWW as any more overbought than most stocks off the Dec 24 bottom.
  • Reif99: $GWW trying to stay above the 200 DMA
  • Reif99: $GWW Flagging right at 200DMA
  • scottrades: $GWW I annotated this one to give you an idea of Risk/Reward.
  • CraigReynolds: Anyone looking at $GWW as a 59 min. morning trade? Interested in comments.
  • Ajax4Hire: $LHO - LaSalle Hotel Properties $GWW - Grainger W W Inc. $ATRA - Atara BioTherapeutics $ETSY - Etsy Inc. $CSX - CSX Corp. $FN - Fabrinet All seem to be in a Volatility Squeeze. Will they $NVEE, pop out to the downside? Given the response by $IWM, $MDY, I would have to say yes. I am cautious after the smack down I got from 09-September.
  • Ajax4Hire: $LHO - LaSalle Hotel Properties; Starting a position. Squeezing like $GWW.

  • Dougw: $GWW new all time high. 5th day up, and I''m starting to think sell some.
  • Dougw: $GWW still on the run, now $316.72. Been holding JAN19 calls, and rethinking that sell thought at the moment. Just now broke $317.00
  • Forexpro: Re: $GWW Hi, Friends, I mentioned this back on the 14th, and since that day's close it's down 1.4 percent, so the performance hasn't been fantastic. Still, it's only vaguely correlated with the $SPX (0.27, to be precise, a good thing, at present), and it has held up well technically. It's doing well today. It's always tough to buy anything when the market is blowing at gale force in the wrong direction, but this might be one to keep an eye on. Earnings are scheduled for Apr 19. All the best!
  • Forexpro: Re: $GWW Hi, Friends, This industrial company received a few mentions in the Forum earlier this year, but seems worth another look. Doing well on a challenging day, good price momentum (SCTR of 98.8 at StockCharts, with 100 the highest). Most stocks with high SCTR rankings are going to be overbought, and this one is no exception, although it has been higher. I've set an alert at 270. Lower than market beta (0.8645, according to ToS) and a lower than market dividend yield (1.82 percent, ditto). Here's hoping that your day is going well; all the best!

  • Henry: $GWW an industrial supply company with a chart that looks like a biotech, Iceman sold some puts,other than that, no mention in the forum . We missed this one.

Removing #TailRisk and freeing up margin.
  • optionswealth: @Iceman $APA $CVS $GWW $NOV $NFX $TAP $UHS #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #TailRisk I've always wanted to ask, are these naked puts that you sell.
  • Iceman: @optionswealth $APA $CVS $GWW $NOV $NFX $TAP $UHS #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #ShortPuts #TailRisk - Yes they are naked puts. Same risk reward as covered calls on the same stocks at the same strike prices, but without the execution headaches. I've laid out my rules for selling these many times.
  • Iceman: $GWW #ShortPuts – Sold 1 GWW JUL 20 2018 155.0 Put @ 3.20 with the stock at 223.0. The strike price is right at the yearly low for the stock.
  • Cwaniak: @Iceman $GWW #ShortPuts I like it.
  • Iceman: $GWW #ShortPuts – Bought to close 1 GWW Dec 15 2017 165.0 Put @ 0.05 Sold on 10/25/2017 @ 1.40 so a pretty quick turnaround.
  • Iceman: $GWW #ShortPuts – Bought to close GWW Jan 19 2018 130.0 Puts @ 0.05. They don’t expire until next year. Originally sold in May at 1.25 as a #FallingKnife trade. Still short other Puts in this stock.
  • Cwaniak: @Iceman $GWW #ShortPuts #DOWN #UP Thanks Iceman. Today stock is up $6. December 175 puts are bid 0.05 ask $2.55. I do not understand whats going on.
  • Cwaniak: @Iceman $GWW #ShortPuts Hello Iceman. Do you know why GWW options are so expensive (calls and puts)?
  • Iceman: @Cwaniak $GWW #ShortPuts - I'm not sure why the GWW options are so rich. The last two earnings reports moved the stock quite a lot, #DOWN in July and #UP in October. No earnings news expected until next year. A 160/230 short strangle has a high probability of expiring even after the next earnings report. That's the way I'm playing it.
  • Iceman: $GWW #ShortPuts – Sold GWW Apr 20 2018 145.0 Put @ 2.60 with the stock at 202.20
  • Iceman: $GWW #ShortPuts - Bought to close 1 GWW Dec 15 2017 135.0 Put @ 0.05. It won't trade any lower. Sold for 1.40 on 5/15/17

  • Iceman: $GWW #ShortPuts - Bought to close GWW Dec 15 2017 120.0 Puts @ 0.05. Out 2 months early at minimum value. Originally sold as a #FallingKnife trade in July at 1.15 and 1.25.
  • Reif99: $UNH and $GWW 3 standard deviation breakout on the Bollinger bands - and going higher. @Dan says to sell into these breakouts, but I'm not sure I understand position sizing, and when to actually put the trade on
  • Reif99: $GWW I guess they like the conference call. Was up 5% on earnings, now up another 7% on the conference call. Looking to sell calls, but price still going up. Options trade a little thin.
  • infocus: $GWW @Iceman I'm short the Oct 20 2017 155 Puts and short the Jan 19 2018 210 2 Calls. Any advice would be appreciated. Thinking about taking the loss (small).
  • optionswealth: @infocus $GWW The Janarian Bros. reported huge unusual activity again this week, this time in the Nov 190 calls, if this helps with your decision.
  • infocus: @optionswealth $GWW Thanks. Yes, it's helpful.
  • infocus: $GWW BTC Jan 19 2018 Calls @ 4.75 As a trade it might be a mistake, but as an exercise in risk management, it's o.k. The next few weeks are very busy for me, and I don't relish any extra stress. Moving on...
  • woodman: @optionswealth $GWW - those guys should team up with the Najarian Bros. :-)
  • infocus: @woodman $GWW I'm tongue tied :>) and, out of the trade.
  • Reif99: $GWW Monsta, up 12%, (almost) 4 STD DEV Bollinger Bands
  • Iceman: $GWW #ShortPuts - The earnings report moved the stock a bit, but the conference call lit a fire under it for now. It's no longer a #FallingKnife but there is still a big earnings gap in the chart from last spring. Sold GWW APR 20 2018 155.0 Puts @ 3.10. The strike price is at the yearly low.
  • Gary: ...
    $GWW – flat. High volume. Looks like this is the top of move.
  • Iceman: $GWW #ShortCalls - Sold 1 GWW Jan 19 2018 210.0 Call @ 1.40 with the stock at 179.39. Paired with a number of short GWW puts which are now nicely profitable.
  • infocus: @Iceman $GWW #ShortCalls I like the idea. What are your thoughts on this trade I'm considering: $GWW STO 1 Jan 19 2018 210 Call @1.20 - 1.30 $GWW STO 1 Oct 20 2018 155 Put @.95
  • Iceman: @infocus $GWW #ShortCalls - I Like it. Let the puts expire in 3 1/2 weeks, then resell them for another month or just cover the calls
  • infocus: @Iceman $GWW #ShortCalls Thanks for the reply. Hope everything is going well for you.
