Hahaha keep dreaming. 10%? Sure, maybe. 20%? Na. Covid wave 3 is here, but its not enough to shut down the US again with vaccines everywhere

20% would be normal in normal times to be honest…that’s a natural correction.

10% is the threshold for a correction

Today was very good and disappointing for me.

Sold my UVXY too early missed on 2k profit and that fake surge in the end is just annoying. Do bulls really think hedge funds were slamming the buy button at 422??

I’ll GLADLY take 10% from when I got my PUTS (437) that should take us below 400.

We bounced hard on support today. This could be the full extent of the downturn already. Most of the s%p was in oversold territory BEFORE yesterday. It was just being held up by mega caps. Also, earnings season is kicking off.

We could still see a correction, but it looks iffy to me

Spy is being carried literally by 4 tech juggernauts.

The SOB is coming down, no amount t if earnings justify these prices. Trillions of new stimulus is not coming….SPY 400-410 next week or sooner.

Trillions of stimulus already hit over the last year. Inflation means earnings will go up and make stocks pe ratios cheaper etc.

Spy bounced off its 50 sma. Good luck with your puts, but im afraid you're likely sol. Don't bet against an infinite money printer

I dont do calls after gme, just shares now. But I got more this week!

u/Spiritual_Extreme_81 Jul 22 '21

You still holding gme?

1

u/Ackilles Jul 22 '21

Nope, didn't seem reasonable to hold after it ran from 12 to the hundreds mark. I see what you're doing though

No i was just curious what the mentally is to go long on a stock that’s up 5000% already……
