Congrats! My local buddy killed it on TTD too. It was too expensive for me at $450.

I paid $314 back in February so I've done pretty well. Really wished I would have double-down in the March crash when it dropped back into the $100's.
Still just a $39B market cap company, I plan on holding it for a while yet.

Most of them 2-5X and not profitable. When the market gets in a mood it's hard to lose if you are prudent enough to trim along the way.(11-07-2020, 10:14 AM)fenders53 Wrote:(11-06-2020, 02:26 PM)EricL Wrote: Great day for my trading portfolio with SQ up 14% and TTD up 27% on good earnings reports.

SQ is firmly back in beast mode, up another 4% and making new all-time highs over $200.
Now nearing the $100B market cap mark.
TTD is also nearing new all-time highs after its recent pullback.

TSLA selling another $5B in shares this month. And all this time I thought they were trying to sell cars to make money? See, this is why Musk is the CEO and I'm not.

Must be end-of-year boredom. Picked up some 1/21/2022 $40 PLTR LEAPs for $7.65/contract. Now I just hope for one of those 10%+ up days with crazy implied volatility. I guess it is better than buying lottery scratch-offs for Christmas.

I've been telling myself for 6 months I want to grab some LEAP calls. I've been hoping for a good pullback before I do that. IV will be high then so that's not a perfect plan. I am a put selling machine so I could balance it out with some income received on the same day. Hindsight is 20/20 but you could have bought LEAPS in just about anything during the MAR pullback.

Bought UPRO @ Friday's close, selling on Friday's close.
This OEX week is historically the best week of the year to be long.

I intended to do something similar. Maybe I'll get a little dip today off the highs. Work has been interfering with my trading considerably the past week. Would it be weird if I put in for days off on options expiration Friday? LOL, I have seriously done that before. I usually end up having to make a few decisions that afternoon.

Had really good earnings earlier this week, and trades at a 60 PE on current estimates.
45 days later and ETSY trades at $178 this morning. Nearly a 50% gain in six weeks.

Out on the retest of prior high.
3% for 3 days and move on.
