    @clipsnation183 Thanks for sharing all of this in an open, humble way. I've been there before, on the line with my broker and that sinking feeling hits my stomach as I start to realize the crap is hitting the fan. Your experience is making it too real for me again, so I'm feeling like the $10K portfolio approach may be the way for me to go for awhile... Hang in there; sounds like you've got a good perspective and attitude about it. Thanks again for sharing the experience and takeaways.

    Has anyone thought about researching the inverse of these bullish trades? Like many of you, I'm always trying to think of how to hedge against a significant market move that hurts my (mostly bullish) trades. Seems like it may be helpful to see if we have some names that are bearish 80-100% of the time heading into earnings (or post-earnings for that matter, as criteria could be flexible). The idea would be we could win on both are bullish and bearish trades in the best case scenario, but that we would hopefully be hedged if the market turns significantly (following the "paired trade" concept). I don't follow this thread as closely, so I apologize if this idea has already been floated. Just thought I'd ask.

    The CML TGT recommendation hit the 45% profit goal today; nice pop in the stock price today to save an iffy trade.

    The VEEV chart looks a bit different than the successful few cycles. The couple of times it had a down move like this at this point looks like it didn't spike back up. But, am watching it as well. All it takes is a little pop on these to get 20-50%...

    @krisbee Fantanstic call on MRVL... Followed your lead and got 50% in 30 min as well

    I got in the 11/17 57 calls at 1.20 earlier... but very small allocation given conditions

    Exact same on AMAT... Still have the backtest that affords justification, but days like these test the nerves a bit.

    And want to reiterate gratitude to NikTam for opening this discussion. Helpful discussions and inputs.

    It is getting near stop loss, but I may try to hold. Last few cycles make me feel there's some potential in days -2 and -1, but will have to watch if this cycle's an aberration.
