Ah, oh oh, come on uh, hello, hello and welcome to the new year. It is the first day of the week, the month, the year, let's get after it, i'm so incredibly excited for everything that's about to play out over the next 20 12 months. Of course, there's going to be high highs, there's going to be low lows, but it's going to be made way more enjoyable and fun doing it with all of you apes here in the moon gang man, i'm excited the amount of opportunity just across the stock market Across the crypto market options market futures market, what a wild scenario we're currently finding ourselves in uh - i am beyond elated for everything that's about to play out, i'm so so excited for everything. That's coming over the next month-ish uh, really kind of probably centered in the first two weeks, we're going to have some big announcements for everyone involved in the moon gang there's a whole litany of them so make sure you're prepared for that uh.

I think you're gon na really really like some of the big changes that we have coming up for all of you, uh man, 2022, we're kicking it off and i i can't get this smile off my face. I'm so excited for everything, that's about to go down, and so with that this morning i mean just kind of what's going on, of course, we'll be doing the normal breakdown, if you haven't seen what's going on in the markets or twitter or anything like that, tesla Is ripping i've been really kind of focusing on hey, like kind of looking good, you know last week i got into some tesla and they crushed deliveries, so i would say: that's like the equity with like the big movement this morning. Fortunately, if you've been tracking anything related to amc, specifically, we are getting some awesome news that the box office did cross, that 2 billion mark. So uh.

That's that's great! That's great! We're talking about the most recent quarter, so um! I myself finally got to see spider-man! No way home, it was just crazy. It was so incredibly difficult to get to see anywhere in the philadelphia area, so i finally got it. If you haven't seen it, i would highly recommend watching him and if you have the opportunity, it would be awesome if you could watch it in an amc but an absolutely fantastic movie. I loved it.

I loved every second of him, please if you've seen it no spoilers, there's some definitely some big things that happened in that movie this upcoming year. Obviously i'm hopefully sooner rather than later we get some serious developments to gamestop's nft marketplace uh, particularly. I want to hear more about what's going on with lrc overall, those are some interesting things, but the vast amount of opportunity that's going to be presented to us in relation to the volatility that will come from any of the fed's decisions as it does or doesn't Relate to these interest rate hikes um, some people are pretty confident that we're going to see three. If that happens, we're going to see volatility there.

I think we're going to see additional volatility, just particularly in the energy sector. Oil looks like it's going to be going higher with those interest rates. Things are going to get a little weird, because now things are more expensive, but oil is going up so and even in the short term, we have things going on with the airline. So i'm expecting volatility for sure related to maybe some distressed companies that need that money, but also potentially relaying relying on oil such as airlines, such as crews, cruise lines, they're definitely going to have some volatility there overall in 2022 uh - and i could cover like part Of this more specifically in the crypto stream, i think there's going to be an immense amount of opportunity related to the metaverse uh, some nft stuff too.

I think the game and the world of nfts is definitely going to take a big change. I think nfts are going to be stronger than ever, but i think they're going to look a little bit different i'll cover that specifically more in the crypto stream, but very, very bullish on the metaverse metaverse plays for this upcoming year and also ah man, banks, as It relates to interest rates, and i don't know like i'm just thinking more and i'm like studying up on. What's going on with oil and the political i guess plays that are going on there and, yes, i think energy is going to have a great year and i honestly had a great previous year 2021, but i think that and i want to call out evie. So i know specifically tesla is doing well today, but on top of it, i am bullish on this, because if oil is more and more expensive, it does make ev that price parity between between.

I guess these e electric vehicles, and also then, if you're, looking at common, gasoline and or diesel, it changes the price parity point when oil goes higher and higher. So overall, those are some interesting things i'm looking at in 2022. I think the little icing on top there would definitely be semiconductors semiconductors performed well, i think they're going to be strongly connected to ai data centers, the metaverse there's a very low supply high demand, even some of our favorite political leaders, are currently training semiconductors, very, very Bullish on semiconductors, so all these statements um a little bit more shorter term, but also a little bit what i'm seeing for the overall year and some important trends. Obviously, as that stuff develops, we're going to be touching on all of it and right before the bell goes ding ding.

Today, on friday we started it off. We kicked it off. I finally got that money transferred into the td account, so we can actively some see some of those option trades. So i want to be literally 100 transparent, you're, going to see the account you're going to see what i'm in every morning, every day i'll recount, particularly what i'm in.

Why am i in it the the winners, the losers you're, going to see it all so right before that bell goes ding ding ding, today i'll review, the four positions that i entered in on friday? I publicly announced all of them and hopefully we're going to see some green today, but with all that being said, let's switch over and here is the new layout uh we're going to be changing a couple more things on the bottom. We're going to want to add in some just like tickers that are going to like permanently be there and they switch just between the most popular ones, because sometimes we don't have all the charts up, but uh we're rocking with that uh. We were definitely inspired by some of the the new things that came from the new crypto stream people just liked uh the color scheme, like that it was a little less busy. So you know new year new overlay, so, as you can see in the market the spy shot uh, it really really shot up right now, taking a breather but tesla going the exact opposite way.

Tesla's, currently up 7.86 percent will be getting into why uh, but man, oh man, what a day we have in front of us and let's get everyone positioned for the day, the first trading day of the week, the month of the year, let's make some attendees green Green green oil down and then the yields are up so like you can like. I just showed you in the spy like things, are looking great: here's the spy, here's, the cues, here's the russell everything gapped up, it's giving back some of those gains. We have about 23 minutes to the market. Officially opens for the day very, very interested to see how some things play out and i'll.

Let you know, as we get closer, what i'm particularly going to be doing with my place first trading day of 2022, looks to pick up where last year left off and that's just basically pushing higher and higher and higher, and it was definitely helped out with the Likes of tesla massive gap up pushing pushing pushing, but even apple we're having a little bit of green there. It was looking better earlier this morning. Let's take a quick peek at microsoft, still a little green things were holding better, but overall we're looking at some of these classic big tech plays to, let's see if they just keep pushing and pushing and pushing so this upcoming week. Not only is it the first week of the year, but it's an important week.

The fed on wednesday in two days will release minutes from its december meeting at which central banks announced they would accelerate their tapering of covert era. Bond purchases now remember way back in november. At that point, we were buying 120 billion per month, and now the idea is that we'll actually be kind of tapering down and being done with it by march and then from there. The thing that's going to dominate the headlines is all about interest rates.

On top of that, adp's december report on hiring at u.s companies is also out on wednesday. It has a thursday's weekly initial jobless claims, data and friday's government employment report for last month. So a lot of just political updates this upcoming week, all of which have the ability to sway the market, tesla shares jump after fourth quarter. Deliveries set a record and that's exactly what happened, but before we get into tesla.

I just want to give you a quick idea of where we are at in terms of seasonality. Does seasonality always have to play out absolutely not, but it's a good idea to know if we have headwinds, tailwinds, etc, etc so december we know ever since, like mid-december to the first week of jan very bullish. This is the seasonal pattern averaged out over the past two decades, but after that first push we get some chop and then, when you're about halfway through jan, you actually see a sell-off to about the first third of feb, with some like weird spikes in there. But overall just you know this week it is seasonally a bullish week.

Does it have to play out like that? I just want to reiterate no, but this is where we are at seasonally and then from there sideways chop, down huge spike, sell off and then about the second third of march, all the way until may april, very very bullish, but i just want you know we're Right here currently in a little bit of a continuation of this bull cycle, and does that logically track well yeah. It does because a lot of people who are locking in their gains or locking in their losses all intentionally in 2021. Well, they already did it 2021's. Over the end of the year is over so now you commonly see a new inflow of money back into the markets for re people to re-establish their positions very, very important now, specifically to tesla, which is absolutely crushing it today.

I hope you got a chunk of it. Tesla shares jumped after fourth quarter. Delivery set a new record, so this just came out over the weekend and they delivered 308 000 in the quarter, which means 936 000 on the year. People didn't even think it was going to come close to a million with, especially citing all the insanity of the year specifically supply chain issues, the fact that they were within striking distance of it.

This was b, it beat expectations of 897 and that was for the year and then particularly in the quarter, expectations were 267, but they delivered 308 blowing the quarter expectations out of the water and that's exactly why tesla is up today. Now, in my humble opinion, my remember not financial advice opinion. Does that mean you should chase it? No, it doesn't at all um. For me, i already had a position.

I had one call in the new account that i started on friday that i'm actually looking to lock in very early in the morning, and then i want to see how everyone else is reacting to tesla. If it settles - and it looks like it's going to keep going - maybe i'll re-enter, but it's one of those things that a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush. I'm not going to risk it especially now, since it's a smaller account and i only have one call option. I can't do one of those things where i lock in some, but not the others, because tesla calls it's expensive, so i'm just going to lock it in on my road to hopefully as quickly as i can getting over pdt on this new account.

Moving on to some political stuff that some of you are going to agree with - and others of you are going to absolutely hate, fauci - says cdc mulling, adding a covet test to its isolation, recommendations, kind of interesting. We have this quote from the top white house medical advisor yesterday. I think we're going to be hearing more about that in the next day or so - and this is just kind of talking about. Okay, like what are the true recommendations, but it's kind of it's a weird.

I don't know politically. You can tell that there's infighting. The cdc has been getting significant, pushback on last week's updated recommendations which cut the isolation time from 10 days down to five days. Once again, i i'm not a scientist, i'm not a political figure.

You have your own opinions, just i'm i'm presenting it because this does have clear implications on. I don't know pfizer moderna all airlines, all cruise lines, some real estate place, i'm not telling you what is politically morally correct or not i'm just trying to do my best to explain it through the lens of it, how it could have an impact on the stock Market and hopefully you're not letting any political bias get in the way of making a good and or hopefully you're, avoiding these bad decisions, and you don't want it to get in the way of making a good financial decision. Speaking of the political front biden told ukraine's president that the u.s was committed to its sovereignty and territorial integrity if russia invades. So this is one of those things that i just wanted to call out now, because it could become a big storyline.

It could become a big narrative. I don't know if it's going to. I just wanted to call this out now, because, when tensions get high depending on who it's with and what's going on, it can clearly have an impact on the overall u.s market and global market, especially if it's involving russia, because then that has implications with oil. So the whole thing is very complicated and it's a very deep rooted network system of what it does or doesn't impact.

So i just want to call this out now, because who knows, i hope, it's a storyline that just goes away and everyone's happy with whatever the solution is, but if it doesn't, it is something that we definitely have to pay attention to. In terms of the s p 500, maybe certain things such as raytheon, uh lockheed martin boeing and potentially oil and energy in general, so just kind of giving you a little call out now, because if it does develop, we should cover it in more of a general Sense, speaking of airlines, airlines cancel more u.s flights as holiday travel woes continue. Airlines scrap more than 1 700 flights on monday, adding to the mass cancellations over the holidays. From christmas eve, through new year's day, airlines canceled more than 13 000 flights about 5.6 percent of their schedules and they're, citing a combination of bad weather and the unicorn infections that sidelined staff, so currently this seven day average for new reported cases um.

I'm reading some numbers coming in at 400 000., so these new cases and apparently in the younger population adolescence, there are like they're, seeing more um hospitalization hospitalizations there and in general, the magnitude of hospitalizations is going up just because the magnitude of people are getting it. But it's also we're seeing some glimmer of hope that the severity at least of the newest variant um is not as high as previous ones or even the original. So i don't know, maybe i'm being optimistic, trying to focus on the positives here. But yes, airlines being hit currently um overall yesterday when i was talking with ttg on their live stream, and we were talking about some of our ideas for 2022, their head trader mike, and i both agreed that airlines and cruise lines, not something we're too interested in In the year of 2022, because even if you get rid of the current virus, that is kind of continuing to be an issue throughout the entire globe, you also have implications of oil and jet fuel.

So, with those two headwinds, i just, i think, there's going to be many many sectors that outperform both airlines and cruise lines, i'm not necessarily against them. I think there is money making opportunities, but i think that there's other industries that are much more of a layup such as ev semiconductors metaverse. Those are three off the top of my head that i personally believe will outperform airlines in the coming calendar year. Speaking of the overall year, i don't want to get too much into this.

I just wanted to offer a little bit of commentary. Michael bury jeremy, grantham and other top investors are predicting an epic market crash here are their gravest warnings of 2021.. So this is kind of weird - and i implore all of you to kind of hop into this article and it's one of those things that no matter what you do, if you're always saying a market explosion to the upside or a market crash plummeting down. If you always say it, and never really give a time frame well, of course, you're gon na be right.

I mean i could do that. I could come on here. Every single day say both of those statements. The market is going to go higher new all-time high.

The market will crash, if i say those two things every single day, i'm going to eventually be right on both statements. I kind of find this frustrating because they take people who are well known for one reason or another and they give these predictions. But it's not. It's not really a prediction if you're not giving some sort of a reasonable time frame to it of like.

Oh i'm looking at this year because of this reason, maybe this quarter this month, it's not detailed! It's just like yeah crash. It's a bubble: okay, cool! When tell me when um it's one of those things, i just don't get it because, like if you're saying the same thing over and over well yeah, of course, you're eventually gon na be right with it. But if you wan na know a bit more hop into this, i mean i, i don't think this idea of like fear-mongering is ever good and that's because i don't think you should necessarily be fearful if the market does go down now, if it crashes, are there Other moral implications that maybe you should be considering - i would argue yes, but in general, if the market takes a five ten percent hit, we'll just be prepared for it. I hope that you've been here long enough that you know how to take advantage of the overall market, an equity, a crypto, going up down or sideways.

There is a way to make money. You don't just have to make money with something going up so with it. It's more of the goal is to identify the trend, the regime that you're currently in - and you play off of that like it's not like one, is necessarily like. Oh, you can only make money here and not in this particular trend.

No, not at all. It's just this game like okay, if things start to go south, if they do hit us with three interest rates and companies, don't like it and we're still battling potentially inflation and then there's still the newest variant ripping around the world and things aren't the best and The market starts to go down. Okay, we could play that. We know how to make money that way.

It's more of you just go with the trend. You don't want to fight that overall flow, you don't the trend is your friend, so i just wanted to kind of, hopefully, if you're seeing headlines this like this calm people down and just remember, okay, if it does happen well, first of all, i think headlines like This are a little bit weird because there's no like actual associated date with it um. What's that saying, a broken clock is right twice a day: okay, yeah eventually right, but for us the way we would use. It is look for the signs, if they're presenting themselves and maybe reposition on how we want to.

I guess best really interact with the overall market, so that is your setup for the overall view on the day. Let me quickly give you this. The updated short interest for amc is 17. The updated short interest for gme is 14.5.

Hopefully we get some action there. Today, tesla is ripping ripping ripping. Oh, i have 10 minutes, so i just wanted to quickly give you an update of my positions, so these were all created on friday. Let me just quickly read them four positions: all creely all created on friday, first, one which i don't know what order these are in roblox r b, l x january 21st, expiration with a strike price of 110., i paid 4.35 cents on friday.

I ended down 150 dollars. I had five of those, but i have time. Roblox is looking good. I think it is somewhat of a metaverse type play, but also, i think, there's enthusiasm, because pelosi herself just got some in terms of a longer term play snowflake.

Snowflake february expiration february 18th, with a strike of 370.. I got two of those at 15 40 and those ended down thr almost 400, a pop on. So almost i was down 770 as of friday, but once again things are looking good in pre-market. So that's february monthly and then the roblox is january monthly.

Now, let's talk a little bit about spy, i have spies that expire on wednesday. This is my shortest term play. I have spy jan 5th 478 calls. I have 10 of those um we're going to i'm gon na be getting out of those very very early today in the excitement, the enthusiasm, the volatility because remember when it comes to options, pricing there's much more than just the underlying price of the equity.

You have time until expiration and usually, as you get closer and closer we'll, actually always as you get closer and closer, you will be battling theta, theta decay. Time is not your friend. If you are long on either calls or puts time is working against you. Those are 478's for this wednesday.

I will be exiting very very early in the morning and then also for this week. On friday. The 7th i have tesla calls a tesla call. Oh just so you know the spies i got in at an average of 151 and then tesla.

I only have one of these guys. I picked that up on friday, uh the january 7th expiration strike price of 1125 and the cost was 17.45. So, oddly enough, they are all down right now, every single one is down, and actually let me show you that um. This is probably a little bit too small, but, as you can see, negative negative negative negative they're, not updating yet because the options market doesn't open until 9 30, but i'm expecting within seven minutes for this to all change very, very, very rapidly.

In fact, i know the spy and the tesla will actually be in profit, so i'm just waiting for that bell to go ding, ding ding and my goal. I'm telling you my trading plan right now, the spy and tesla i'm looking to lock in my gains lock in my gains within the first 15 minutes of the training day, and if i choose to re-enter it'll be later. I just want to lock in these gains. I want to start off the year.

I want to lock in some attendees and i want to get this account closer and closer to 25k. So this is a smart play. I don't know if these gap ups and this greenness is going to hold. So i'm just trying to take the money while it's on the table and if i still like the situation, midday or the end of the day.

Oh, i could always re-enter the biggest pain right now is obviously pdt, but that just sometimes means that you have to trade less and you have to be a little bit more specific with the trades that you do get into. So those are my positions all four technically down as of friday's close but like, i said, extremely confident that it's not going to hold whatsoever, especially with these gains on tesla i mean i got in on friday and 1125 and we're gapping up for that. Going out of the money to in the money, there's a good chance that i actually double up. I got in at 17.45.

I wouldn't be surprised if i get out, maybe 36 or even higher, on it. Um amc. We discussed that box office still looking really good. Good good chance that the upcoming quarter earning announcement for the quarter that we're currently in uh is positive.

They might go cash flow positive in terms of their ebitda, so that would be very, very exciting and gamestop we're all just kind of waiting to see. If there's any additional announcements or when the announcements will come for the nft market place now, uh speaking of the other ones, i'm in roblox, i just wanted to show you this roblox uh. I think it's a metaverse play. I know pelosi got into it, but on top of it, nice technical breakout - and i have the 110s just kind of targeting this, but for jan jan monthly.

So i have about three weeks on there and then my longest term one is snowflake. This is more of it's data analytics, it is backed by warren buffett. I am a fan of the data analytics sector, but how this one even came about was last week we saw a massive amount of bullish flow coming into it for the march monthlies. They were just too expensive.

It seems like a lot of people were targeting playing off its earnings announcement, the march monthlies - i simply couldn't afford it. So i played the february monthlies and i'm hoping that i get a push of this top trend line. A break of 350. - hopefully i mean obviously the sooner the better but we'll see how that all plays out all right so that one is going uh.

Can i talk about the fintel news? It depends. Is there new news? I i just saw that they were like fighting with people and people weren't happy with him. I think there's a lot a lot of confusion of what self-reporting means and how data works, and it's one of those things that i've been doing my best to explain it from people who have the expertise of the industry. But it's getting to that point.

Where there's a very loud minority who, within this community is behaving in an extremely toxic manner, all they want to do is stand in a cave and hear their own echo time and time again, they're, not really that interested in learning about market structure and learning. About truth, they would rather just i guess, feel good about whatever their initial thoughts are. Um. I've used ortex i've been a public supporter of vortex.

I still like ortex from the get go. I never ever used fintel short interest, because i know they were exclusively getting it from interactive brokers. If you see in their like data providing thing, it says, uh a premier prime broker and there's a very, very good chance that it relates to interactive brokers, because it was the exact same data that you could get on iborodesk and i borrow desks as they they Get it from interactive brokers, it was the exact same data. I was never interested in using it because it was so small.

It was a prime broker. Ortex has 85 percent of transactional volume. So for me it wasn't an inaccurate data source. It was too small of the picture.

I guess is the best way to put it in terms of the overall picture. Um i wanted more. I wanted to know what was actually truly going on in the best weekend and that's one of the biggest problems of being a retail trader is our our data. Our data is just not quality.

It's delayed, it's not high quality. It's that's one of the biggest problems and, honestly, that's one of the problems that dave lauer is trying to fix. With his new terminal platform um, it is you're not going to get the same quality data as a retail trader as professionals do. That has been a well-known thing and you hope that eventually it gets fixed, but we're going to find out, we will definitely find out, as people start, to notice the problem and see if there's a platform that could come in and give us the exact same quality Data that the rest of wall street has the rest of these institutions.

Banks have but it's clearly an uphill battle like i. I don't think it's appropriate to say that oh, like everything's hunky-dory and it's as easy to be a retail trader, as it is an institutional trader. Well, it obviously isn't, but with that, i think it's imperative that everyone dive in and understand what the data is and what is or isn't being presented to them. The amount of people that think self-reported data means that hedge funds are somehow contacting finra and saying yeah.

Here's my short position: they think that's what self-reporting is it's just simply not ding ding ding, the casino is open. All right. Let's see, let's see let's get over. Where are we at oh tesla popped up three thousand dollars currently trading at 46..

How do i close this create closing order all right, let's create it, create closing order all right, 47.50 confirm and send send i put in an order for 47.50 on tesla uh, and it's already quickly going the other way, all right. That's all right, and then we are up on these spies tesla going the wrong way. Tesla tesla tesla you gon na hold there pal hold there partner. No, it is not come on swing back around just give me my phil.

I have a a sitting order. P. L, open, okay. We are currently up two five, i'm just trying to get that film at 47.

man, the volatility. This is nuts all right, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, patience did i get filled. Wait. I just heard a ding.

I don't know if you guys heard it ding. I heard a ding. I don't know what that was. I did not get a fill yet there's no way i got ta fill.

Oh no. I did sweet okay, 47.50 locked it in right here, uh uh, 47.50 uh filled order 47.50, so i got in at 17.45 and i got out at 47, so that means i made just over three thousand dollars. So this 10k account thus far it's playing out pretty pretty well so, like i said that was my plan. I wanted to stick to it and the other part of my plan is getting out of these spy calls spy for this.

I need spy to push a little bit more though interesting: okay, okay, okay, okay, let's do this thing um, so i already locked this in if it keeps going. Okay, that's fine! That's fine! That's fine! We got that ding there. Let's see amc looks like it's. Having a good day up 1.88, and then we have jimmy up 1.81 sweet sweet.

We did that i'm watching the spy. These are the other ones that i'm attempting to get out of um. The very early pre-morning action pre-market action this morning on the spy was very, very good for me, but then, obviously, as we got closer and closer, this sell-off was not ideal. So i need the spy to start to push actually all right.

We locked that in on tesla i'll, let things settle down, not creating a new position for at least those 10 15 20 minutes of market open. I just want to quickly check in on snowflake looking solid and what was the other one roblox, all right, so they're in the green, but i just wish they were in more green. The queue is having a good day above 400. The spy is pushing.

What is up with prague, prague, prague, prague, prague, is up one percent right now, nothing too too crazy on it. Uh you broke your own 15-minute rule. No, no. The rule is to create a position.

There's usually they're actually statistically, sometimes an advantage for getting out early morning because of the increase in volatility, which helps options. The rule is to create a position getting out. I have no issue. Sometimes i want to get out literally in the first second like i just want to lock it in all right.

We are moving on this. Moving on this amc had a good push to 27.75. Let's see what's going on, there is the russell dragging this down, where's the russell, no, the russell's actually pushing interesting. I would expect uh amc to be performing better right now, just because the russell's actually holding very very nicely here's a little bit of a bigger picture on the russell, i'm still calling out a gap bill 228.50.

228.50. I love that play on the russell. Easy gap. Fill from the low of november 24th, all right, where are we on the spy, the spy, the spy, the spy? So those uh frustrating the spy is frustrating so overall, we close friday down and we're still not in the money, they're basically break even right now, uh! So it's not like i'm really missing out on anything too special too too special.

I just need this to continue to push come on spy keep the party going iwm dipping a little bit now kind of makes more sense in conjunction with amc, crypto, uh, bitcoin, flat solana, picking up a little bit matic flat, but ethereum picking up ethereum. Looking pretty strong, if you can really punch above this um, thirty, eight hundred thirty nine hundred dollar level on eth all right, the spy is moving along, of course, tesla's still going just my luck, jimmy stalled out it's at 151 would love for jimmy to stay above 150., there we go spy all right now, we're cooking with taters. Now we're cooking amd having a good day. What kind of flow do we have early this morning? Tesla call tesla call tesla call tests, nope, roblox, call tesla call so out of the major moves this morning in flow four out of five relate to tesla and they're, all one thousand one uh, no there's a one thousand two hundred in there, so they're, focusing on The jan monthlies and then one is actually for this friday.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa check this out right here. Four mil 5.8 mil 6.2 mil, so there was 16 mil dropped in the first minute and 12 seconds on tesla for the monthlies, 1150 and 1200.. That is insane. That is ridiculous.

How's apple, apple's going remember 182.86, is when it hits a three trillion market cap 182 right there, roughly right there right there. Oh okay! Let me hop up to this. Does the seasonality s p chart flow with crypto as well? No, you would check out ooh there. We go nice pop um on amc.

There uh, you would actually check out crypto seasonality, but just so you know, i've been already following the seasonality uh for that. The first week of bitcoin, crypto, historically very, very strong over the past four or five years. All of the first weeks of january have been net gains for btc uh doesn't mean it has to play out that way. Absolutely not, but it's just you're playing the odds.

The market is a game of odds, uh, hey matt. What do you think of spaceballs nfts? Mending starts january 6th uh, i've never heard of it. Chris i'd have to look into it a lot of crazy volatility going on with amc this morning, jamie actually holding up pretty nicely uh top of the morning duckman. What's going on hey, i hope you're.

What is like, it's very very, i guess: whippy got matt on a good one. This morning, bro my tesla calls gabe, i hope, you're crushing it. I already locked in mine, i locked in a nice 3k, which sounds crazy. That has to be what is going on with my charts today, uh, that has to be a good sign for the upcoming year.

I mean not a bad deal. Devin shout out everyone back on refresh my madden boy, 2022 lego shout out tommy good morning and happy new years. Could you please i don't know what that is so far in the money? There's a meat left on. So when you have when you're entering a position.

That's a leap position and you're in the money you're, it's like very, very similar. It's not the exact same thing, but it's extremely similar to basically just like a leveraged investment f as if you just bought the stock. So when you and that's how commonly uh rich people choose to play, this type of stuff is by doing that is by doing leaps in the money. And it's basically just like a leveraged straight up investment into the stock they're attempting to as much as they can quell volatility, but really they're looking to avoid theta and that combination a deep in the money, leap really dampens the negative impact of theta or what i Should say is theta decay? What is going on with these, like my charting right now, all right, gamestop sold out at 152 is apple apple.

Still, looking good tesla pushing amc coming down. What else do we have lucid is up two percent? What are the other movers and shakers and bakers today lucid pop came down um with tesla's recent success, and also just so, you know, uh neo had a pretty good report as well. They re delivered 10, 000, 10.5 000 in december, which was a 50 increase from december of 2020, so neo most likely having a good day. No, it's well, it's actually up, but it's intraday trading is down tesla, crushing it um.

Looking for almost all of ev to be green. Today it looks like the whole sector is on the rise. I'm talking about other sectors. Amd is up.

2.5 percent. Nvidia is up 3.6 roblox is down, that's not good for my monthlies snow actually, also down, hopefully that's basing soon. What else do we have? Ribbian is a little red on the day. Prague is down by two cents, which is one percent, because it's a two dollar stock, gmail 151 152 amc, 2750 iwm, is holding up by a percent interesting interesting, interesting apple.

Honestly, that's that's pushing apple! What a push! What a push on apple, um, interesting, interesting, apple, holding above 180, way outside of its keltner, i kind of like apple. Is there any flow on apple today? No, not really tesla, okay, so no new flow coming through yet, but it's pushing amc also kind of pushing uh. I i'm interested in apple. It's just now that you're seeing everything literally play out in real time.

If i i just don't want to chase it, i know it's in no way ideal to go long when you're on the north side of volatility bands, whether you're using bollinger bands, whether you're using keltner and the difference between those two keltners based on atr wall bollinger, Is going to be based on standard deviation, so potato potato type of argument, and i i wish i got into it. It was just i was trying to get out of tesla and in a in a weird way. I kind of already have that play by being long on spy in in all reality, but man. I wish i had a chunk of this.

It's just it's not an ideal time to get in. That's especially when you're just trying to do your best to get up and get over pdt. This is the kind of play that maybe, if you didn't have to battle with the issues related to pt pdt you're, like okay, i'm in i'll risk one 180.. So it could be a quick cut.

You don't really have the luxury of a quick cut if you're below 25 000, because then you might just be burning a day trade. So it's. I would strongly vehemently argue that it is much more difficult to be a quote. Unquote, good trader, when your account is below 25 000.

I mean how many of you in here have been in a trade that you wanted to get out of, but you simply couldn't because of pdt like like, i swear it. It's way more difficult to be a good trader below 25 000, because your hands are tied in certain scenarios, so um it sucks. It's been there, i'm literally living it right now with you, but it's one of those things that you just have to identify and just be more specific. You got to trade like a sniper with it.

You just sometimes sometimes there's going to be very good trades that you just have to let go and it sucks, but that's part of it and honestly. I think it does instill um some good concepts of discipline, so i mean right now, like i told you i like apple, but for me to potentially use one of my day trades on it. It has to be a better setup and it is not a good setup when you're on it's just it's already, statistically abnormal the movement thus far this morning. So i'm not going to hop into that um sounds like matt gave up on amc, no, not at all.

I'm in amc, i just think the work's done in all reality. You've already made your mind: are you diamond handing or not, there's not much more? I can do on a day-to-day basis if there's breaking news on amc and or gme more than happy to cover. If there's confusion related to market structure or any of that, i'm going to cover that, of course, in a general sense, but in terms of amc the dd's been done. I don't know if, if someone else out there, for whatever reason wants to dedicate their time, to, i guess all day, just covering it and reading out the price levels and just telling you okay, is that 27 is that 27.? I just don't see the point in it.

It doesn't add up in my head because if you already know you're diamond handing you're already diamond handing, if you want to actively trade amc, that's a completely different story, but i'm not a person who's actively trading it. So i just it feels like a waste of everyone's time. It's a waste of my time. It feels like a waste of your time if you're diamond handing amc, gme or any other stock or any other crypto, you don't need to watch the chart.

Folks, it's that simple, and i mean this in all sincerity. If that's, what you're looking for that is not the content i'm producing. If there's new important news that should be covered, it needs to be covered or, if there's new concepts that need to be explained more than happy to happen to it, but to simply just watch every single minute chart. It's boring like it is like i.

I don't know how to be that dd's been done. If there's high volatility well, yeah, no, that's more exciting to watch, but just to watch it like move a buck or two like a little bit up a little bit down. That's boring, it's extremely extremely boring and sometimes life's boring, and you got to get through it, but if it's boring, you should at least be getting something from it and we're not getting anything from it anymore. Like i said, the dd has been done: you're either holding it or you're, not opinion on are long term.

So, for whatever reason, pltr has been getting some flack lately, like there's people very much arguing against pltr, and i don't quite know why um, i think i i like i'm i'm trying to put myself in their shoes and their reasoning of people who are like, like They seem to like hate palantir, which it's one thing. If you just don't like a stock, it's another thing if you want to like, maybe take a short position or a put play, but there's people who like seem to be like truly up in arms against palantir. If you haven't heard about palantir, it is a data analytics company about 60 north of 60 percent of their contracts are from the u.s government, so very intertwined with the government um for all things related to data analytics uh, it's a peter thiel company. It was made roughly a decade ago, but it ipo'd uh only a handful a year ago, a couple years ago in reality, um, actually you have it right here: uh it ipo in september of 2020.

So since then had a huge explosion. Up to 45 came all the way down to 1750 and from there it just i mean we're we're waiting on that. That's the support level, this level right here you want palantir to stay above it um. If you are bullish on palantir, that's a reasonable risk reward setup and you're trying to play that bounce.

If you're bearish on it you're very much looking for that breakdown and then from there you are watching 14.50. I currently have no palantir position um. I do think they're offering, as in their actual business their product, offering it's impressive in terms of a software engineering like technology feat, but also the the chart. It's been kind of sideways trading.

Honestly, it's been sideways trading ever since february of 2021, you have the same highs, the 27 and the lows the 17., so it's just range bound um. I don't know the only thing i've seen recently on. It is like an uptick in people who are seriously seriously arguing what is happening to the spy uh. Don't you think amc is such a beautiful low price to buy more though i prefer to buy at support, and i don't see amc at a major support right now, like i no matter what it is, i always attempt to get in as close to support.

As i possibly can, because that naturally improves your risk to reward ratio, your risk to reward paradigm, so for me, amc gme, any crypto. Anything like that. Unless i'm already confident that i know it's going to be long term like long long term, like potentially multiple decades. If it's a multiple decade hold it, it doesn't matter i'll, just buy it like whatever, because like being off plus or minus 10.

20 30 doesn't really matter. If you plan on holding it that long, so the shorter your time frame, the more specific you have to be with your entry, i just want to clarify some of those things, but anyway, if i know i'm not going to be in it for that long, i Care about my entry - and i always try to get in either as close to support as possible or on a technical breakout. Is that a perfect methodology? Absolutely not there's no such thing as a perfect methodology when it comes to the world of stonks, but it does help keep your risk in control. My mic's picking up background humming um huh wait.

Is that bad i'll? I'll? Look into that? I appreciate that. I don't know what i did with my mic settings that you're getting like uh like a buzz all right, i'm watching apple, so it was on the outside of the bands. It came back right into the moving average and let's see how it dances around here at one point i was more than willing to do it, but then i'm looking at the overall vomit in the spy in the queues - and that doesn't make me too incredibly happy Even tesla tesla shot up and then it based at 1140.. Is there any new flow, whoa whoa whoa whoa hold the horses team all right, so we already caught up to here.

At 9 47 someone came in with a big apple put um 661, but then check this out. A tesla call another one for 3.2 mil and then another tesla call for 1.9 mil and then another one for 300 000 and the 300 000 one is at 13.25. For these jan monthlies holy guacamole, that is crazy. There is serious money, serious money still flowing into tesla.

That is absolutely ridiculous. Let me know i was going to say literally. Let me know when amc gets back above 27 30, but it just did it so i'll. Leave it up for a second damn, that's crazy! I'm just thinking about the amount of money that is just going into this all right.

This is my time to shine my time to shine all right. Let me let's be smart: let's be smart. Tesla, 1050. um! All right hang on i'll, give you the update there.

I just put in one trade - and i just want to do one more one more one more. I don't want these. I want these i'll keep everyone updated of where i am at ooh. Did i get a fill? Did i miss apple? I think i don't know if i'm gon na get this apple phil all right, i'm waiting on apple.

Can you edit it? How do you, edit a pending order, cancel order, cancel replace all right is apple, just running away on me shoot not fast enough. I'm the problem here cancel replace all right. There we go. I think i replaced it.

Maybe i replaced it, i don't know. I guess i didn't well i'll just let that i'm not gon na chase it off of this push man too slow of cour come on now. Now this is just not ideal. Did i get it no matter? What i do i just like can't get into this play all right: there we go finally got it: okay, okay, okay, okay, uh, so quick update on everything, quick update, so i got into two tessa calls for jan seventh.

I should probably write this down, so i remember it: uh tesla plus two wait: yeah jan seventh, i was gon na, say: there's no way i can afford the 1175s and i paid 25.50 per one, and then i also got into three apples, three apples, jan 14. Next friday, at 1, 82 50 and i paid 250 and that's the one that i was chasing like a ding dong chasing like a ding dong, all right, let me put so that's the one that i chase i try to get in and i just kept lagging It um, but i also gave myself more time, not the most interested in day trading apple right now. Would love to get out of tesla would absolutely love to get out of tesla, hopefully pushes 1155. the tesla one? Yes, they beat on deliveries, uh, it's holding up somewhat strong today, 8.7 percent, but in all reality the swaying decision for me was how can i argue with this amount of money: tesla.

310. 000 tesla, 1.9 million tesla, 500. 000 tesla, 3.2 million tesla, 663. 000.

Tesla. 4 mil tesla 5.8 mil tesla 6.2 mil what we're approaching 6 12. 16. 16.

6. 19. 8 uh. 22 24.

We're talking over 24 million dollars has already flowed into a bullish bet on tesla today, i'm just hoping that they're right we'll find out. I don't know we'll find out real soon, though um, where else uh two part, one number one option: strategy book. Are you margining crypto at all? No, i don't margin my crypto um crypto. I just put up my cash and i buy what my cash allows me to uh and the best options uh.

I actually have one upstairs that i'm like re-reading now for, like the fourth time um, i think it's, i think it's literally called options trading and strategies and has like a green cover. It's like either version five or seven i'll bring that down for the afternoon stream. Just so i can get the exact title for you all right, all right, all right, our right amc pushing looking good amc's there how's the gme, looking jimmy, actually has a better percentage gain on the day right now, uh i'll, throw amc up here. If this is ever gon na load, okay, there we go amc and jimmy both kind of perking up um, not a bad deal, not a bad deal at all, but hang on.

I do need to make a more thought out plan for tesla so basically fading. Some of these gigantic whales love this technical breakout. So between i've been, i mean yesterday i was doing a lot of looking into tesla like the levels i like, and so i was seeing this technical breakout, which i don't know why pre and post market aren't loading. Hang on, okay, there we go so i was following this trend line and i was like: okay, we had a little bit of a bull flag, a bull channel lately, not a bull flag, a bull channel it broke out of the channel, but also got above this Overall trend, it was clearly in the downtrend, maybe it's better shown by the four hour chart.

So we got above that and now that i'm seeing borderline 25 mil being bet on it. Another one just came in another 1.2 mil and that's for this friday. 1. 200..

We're now over 25 mil being bet on this um, so i'm seeing what the whales are going to do today i mean that's a lot of confidence within the first 30 minutes, 33 minutes of the day after a gap up to throw on an additional 25 mil. I like it, i like it, i like it. I like it so we'll see how that goes. Uh.

Could you look at asrt sincerely a bag holder? I don't like the sound of that asrt wait. How are you a bag holder? Oh that's. Our longer time frame um, it looks strong cup and handle breakout trying to get above 250. there's the big cup that actually started all the way back in may here's the end of the cup, here's the handle, that's forming, you're, looking for a break of 250 and Then from there i'm watching three dollars, but i'm seeing some short-term strength.

It's in the pharmaceutical industry, which i'm just not the most knowledgeable on. So inherently it's just not my favorite, because i don't have the most knowledge on what you need to have the knowledge on to successfully trade biotech pharmaceuticals, medical supplies. All that, in my mind, is like roughly the same, but in terms of technicals i'm seeing some strengths. So i don't know where you've been bag holding from i'm, assuming maybe you got somewhere in here and if it gets and holds above three then you're watching 350, then you're watching just above four.

So this one all the quote: unquote important levels seem to be like every 15 or excuse me, fifty five, zero cents. So uh i mean i'm seeing strength and i don't know where you got in so i don't know if you'll necessarily get into profit. But you might at least be able to minimize your loss, all right cool. We did that we did that.

We did that all right. Am i no okay. I thought it was frozen on twitch all right. Amc, 2780..

2780 on amc, uh, actually 2770, 75 somewhere in here. Third rejection of the day, let's see if we can overcome it, apple already cruising. Ah, it's kind of playing out in an interesting way where i didn't necessarily want apple to be a day trade. I wanted tesla to be a day.

Trade wait a second! Why does it do it like this uh quantity, okay, currently down on tesla, currently down on spy, currently down on snowflake, currently down on roadblocks, currently up on apple, but let's see how it all plays out. Really uh trusting in these tesla whales to come through. For me, how does the spy historically act in january? Usually the first week is bullish and then it's chop and as you get to the end of the month, there's a little bit more of a bearish seasonality. If you're curious in seeing those like the seasonality, charts that i show you, the website is equity clock.

If you want to check that out uh, why is my computer just not loading today? Can i check out amd oh and the cooldowns on twitch yeah uh hang on. Let me change that all right, tesla bowls, let's go apple's, looking good apple, solid and then cloud. I need a cloud bot or something all right. I'm gon na change the gambling setting over there on twitch, so that's not annoying and then we're checking out amd amd.

Actually i, like amd amd, i mean your risk - is so well defined pretty much the bottom of this currently trading at 149. You could risk 143 ride this up to one well. First, you need to get the break right here of 150. amd's, looking good.

It really really is um wow on it like if i had more free capital.
