Johnny football playing?

[KVB]

He will not start, they say, but he will get snaps.

Vernon Adams the starter.

Heritage back -8, crazy movement on this issue.

I use multiple services and connections, Gold, because in the end this becomes a race for information. Not only am I trying to act on the information, I'm also trying to post it.

It takes time.

Remember that...in the end this becomes a race for information.

Three calls...

Bought 1 Call to Open LNG 8/10/18 64.00 @ 1.21.

Bought 1 Call to Open LNG 8/17/18 65.00 @ 1.13.

Bought 1 Call to Open LNG 8/24/18 66.00 @ 1.04.

Earnings are announced August 9th, we are betting on LNG here...

It's been a little over a week, and got a decent pop in the stock today and also in after hours.

The hangover of the Icahn liquidation, fukker took some profits at the top but still holds a shitload, appears to be over.

Earnings coming.

We are winning.

Buying calls and puts are terrible plays
The time decay is too great and rapid

Let me teach you son

HI IV only, liquid options and sell premium

Yes, I like this. I knew the direction of the stock and was trying to make a buck. I was thinking I should have bought more contracts.

I'm not looking to stay too long in these, I tiered them upward. We are right on the bet, so far, but maybe with knowing it was going to rise, I should have sold the puts for premium.

We will discuss this, and other trades soon.

[KVB]

Generating a ton of winning MLB plays, should have bought into the KVB MLB Contrarian Fund, that side of the market is winning right now.

[jjgold]

Best of luck

See you in Vegas


I will be there Not part of the festivities

I'm a big believer in contrarian logic. We could start a stock/sports fund based purely on contarian thinking.

[KVB]

Yes Chucky, it's the KVB MLB Contrarian Fund.

It's been running since All Star break and posted in the Forum, but not under the name.

I mentioned in this thread that I might rotate into another sports fund but I fear we've missed the small run.

Just like stocks, it's tough to buy in after the runs, the problem is, as always, timing.

After all, this fund will profit this year, but it had a nasty run I posted before the all star break. It might still have legs in this positive run yet.

If Texas and Colorado both get redemption tonight, it will have been one nice run since the break. I'll update it later.

The CFL Sharp Forecast Fund has picked up Edmonton Eskimos +9 (-109) over Montreal Alouettes....

So busy with MLB that I forgot about this.

This bet is cancelled. I knew I was missing something. That something was a huge market error. I just acted so fast that, well, no shot taken.

The CFL Sharp Forecast Fund has picked up Edmonton Eskimos -8 (-110) over Montreal Alouettes.

Fortunately, not reporting this didn't change much as you can get 8, 8.5, 9, 9.5, even 7.5 juiced a bit at a couple of places, if that's your pleasure.

The CFL sharp forecast, it should be disclosed, would not be a buyer at -9 because it has Edmonton winning by 9 or 10 points, with equal probability. It would be a buyer at -8.5 and a buyer at Montreal +10.5.

Good Luck.

What do you think Gold, just sell those options for a small profit on the bounce, or stick to my plan through earnings?

I know it's not much, but you're right, going forward I'm only buying calls as a potential entry point into a stock, at least at these prices; or maybe the multiple calls, with multiple contracts on bumps like these aren't a bad way to generate cash.

Timing is hard, but we give ourselves weeks for it to get right.

Working here...

Three calls...

Bought 1 Call to Open LNG 8/10/18 64.00 @ 1.21.

Bought 1 Call to Open LNG 8/17/18 65.00 @ 1.13.

Bought 1 Call to Open LNG 8/24/18 66.00 @ 1.04.

Earnings are announced August 9th, we are betting on LNG here...

[jjgold]

Low IV Rank right now and not much volume action

I would not touch them, stock not liquid enough for me

[KVB]

Either way, I'm ahead on this trade, already.

I think you're saying get out, screw the earnings play. I see.

Maybe pick up an earnings play closer to the 9th.

[jjgold]

Just did a short call spread CAT Aug 17 144-146

[KVB]

I see, not bad. Sold the 144 and bought the 146 for vertical spread.

How many contracts? I see about .80 credit right now at the worst prices for each.

Good Luck.

Thanks for the input.

[jjgold]

Yes Gold, I have plenty to learn, and it's been a while for some of this. Been immersed in sports almost exclusively until recently moving some sports money to stocks, that's when I opened discretionary account, literally for this thread and to track.

I wasn't sure exactly what kind of trading I was going to do here.

Starting to wish I had bought into the KVB MLB Contrarian Fund here, it has been a good play and we are making money outside of this thread.

Gold, we will work through trades together, the Schwab trade and prob calculator will suffice.

[jjgold]

[KVB]

A lot of chalk there

3-1 on that chalk Gold...

Here are the current KVB CFL Sharp Forecast Fund results...

			Risk 3.5%		Beat
Record	Week	Issue	$10,000	Close	Closer?
1-0	6	SSK +11 (-110)	318.18	10.5	Y
1-1		OTT -6.5 (-102)	-350	-7	Y
2-1		WIN -108	324.07	-3.5	Y
2-2		CAL -19.5 (-106)	-350	-19.5	-
3-2	7	WIN -9.5 (-106)	330.19	-10	Y
3-3		HAM -4 (-107)	-350	-6	Y
4-3		CAL -7 (-106)	330.19	-7.5	Y
5-3		EDM -8 (-110)	318.18	-10.5	Y
5-3		Total	$10,571

Links to the original posts are there.

The CFL Sharp Forecast has beaten the closing spread in every game, with a push in Calgary.

That Calgary -19.5 line shot up, just like the others, but then made it's way back down to close where it opened.

[KVB]

The CFL Sharp Forecast Fund has picked up the following plays...

Ottawa Redblacks –3.5 (-110) over Toronto Argonauts

Saskatchewan Roughriders +9 (-110) over Edmonton Eskimos

Calgary Stampeders –11 (-110) over British Columbia Lions

Hamilton has opened a 6 point favorite over Montreal but the CFL Sharp Forecast shows Hamilton winning by 3, 4, 5, or 6 points, all with equal probability.

Montreal will trigger if we see +6.5.

These are very early openers and I wouldn’t be surprise, this week, to see a line move against the forecast as it has beaten the closing line the last two weeks, but we will have to wait and see.

Good Luck

[KVB]

This CFL Sharp Forecast Fund has picked up Montreal Alouettes +7 (-107) over Hamilton Tiger-Cats.

This is the line that moves against the forecast this week, something I was looking for when the week began; let's see if it comes back down.

Good Luck.

[KVB]

This account has received $100 dividend HIMX.



HIMX has recently been the weakest position in this fund for a while. It is reaching levels where I am going to need to make a decision and I have been bearish of late on this stock, despite sitting on 1000 shares.

One of only a couple of positions down in this Fund, GE being the other.

I have been busy with the MLB Contrarian fund and have held off trading stocks recently, it's hard to do both.

I was supposed to rotate into the MLB Fund with available cash, too bad I didn't it has been on a good run.

There are two CFL games in play tonight.

[KVB]

The CFL Sharp Forecast Fund has picked up Edmonton Eskimos -6 (-110) over Saskatchewan Roughriders.

The Fund also holds Saskatchewan +9 (-110) over Edmonton, bought at the open, and is required to buy at the current market agreement.

The CFL rarely, if ever, middles, but it does push an opener or closer at times.

Good Luck.

Valuable skill to know which way # is gonna move. Wish I was better at it.

I just found this thread. Love it. The back and forths with KVB and Coach are excellent. One or two ultra-needy trolls who despise themselves popped in but beyond.....that good stuff!

So I can add something to the thread, I opened a Major Purchase account on Betterment recently with the sole purpose of having around $4K for the 2026 World Cup. $18.00 bi-weekly. Crumbs.
