$AAPL very strong today while the market falls

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

Futures melting today
Nasdaq down -1% while S&P 500 down -0.4%

Good breadth today while chips go lower.

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

Dreadful breadth here today with $RSP down -0.5%

$QQQ slowly edging back towards ATH with memory very strong. I believe we see $SPY chopping like this till Nasdaq is back to ATH (with breadth worsening as well) before any new significant move (up or down).

$NVDA earnings next week could be the trigger to another move

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

strong defense of $120 level on $NOW , happy I sold on the first resistance touch.

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

Back from break.

Purchased 10 $GOOGL 370C 18/9 @ $3.60

My 21/8 calls are close to zero value, nearing a 95% loss currently. Expected a quicker bounce of Google in the last few weeks but didn't happen.

Covered all my short shares of $NOW right now at $120
up $500 on the trade (+4%)

Also sold my 4 shares of $SNDK for $1750, up nearly $1800 (+34.6%)

Still holding my $TGT and $SPY puts.

SaaS stocks dropping today, $MSFT on the radar.

Very strong performance by memory today $SNDK $MU $DRAM $SKHY

- Shorting 100 shares of $NOW @ $125.00, now up 0.10% or 12 dollars, not intending on holding this for too long as software has been on a tear recently, but I still expect some profit taking to happen. Targeting a 3-6% move.

Total: $66540.84
Current gain of 33.08%

Weak performance this week, down -15.02%, mostly due to Google underperforming the market while my hedges have not been paying off ($SPY kept edging upwards and $TGT has been flat, eaten by theta).

On top of that, my longs in memory have been flat from last week, still in the red. This market is quite complicated to juggle with now we are back at ATH, struggling to find good longs that I'm not afraid of holding and I don't really want to have more semi exposure. Have reentered Google as a long and still keeping a close look on Microsoft and Amazon, especially Microsoft at that $500 level.

My latests positions have been much smaller than my initial Apple short because I didn't have the same amount of conviction, hence didn't want to risk as much capital (currently my puts on the S&P 500 cost me less than $4k while my initial Apple position was more than $15k in premiums).

The market is very optimistic with poor jobs number helping the narrative of no rate hike + new potential ceasefire/deal regarding Iran. If we don't get any important macro news or a big inflations number next week, I feel we could be dealing with a very choppy market until $NVDA earnings.

Will be away next week so fewer updates, will keep you updated if there are any changes to the portfolio's positions.

Now shorting 100 shares of $NOW at $125

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

@Mr_Derivatives What will be interesting is will that drawdown be only tech stocks like we had last month or will we have a more broad sell off

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

If anyone presses Sell on $SOXX right now, we will see new daily lows today. I wouldn't complain if someone does, I need to buy some memory calls

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

Completely flipped from tech and semis crashing and other sectors keeping market afloat to weakish market in general and semis very strong ($SOXX +1.3%)

$SNDK now at -2.5%

Will we see green?

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

Who pressed the sell button? The party was just getting started

Sharp retracement back towards VWAP for $SPY $QQQ

$NVDA erases gains, now trading flat despite being up 2% at open

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

@JUST_KAWS No in between, $1500+ or below $500

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

@KobeissiLetter Don't worry, the stock market is at all time highs, the economy is booming

WE CAN'T STOP WINNING

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

@Being__Mukesh @grok Jensen was feeling a bit cold

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

Okay be honest, who pressed "BUY" on $SNDK today?

I planned on doing so but this market is too quick for me

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

And $QQQ is now Green, did you buy this dip?

[Ankor Research @Ankor_Research]

Breadth fading completely despite being very strong premarket, mega caps helping keep the indexes close to flat right now with $NVDA $AAPL $MSFT $META all up more than 1%

$SNDK from -13% in premarket to now -5%
