2/7/2018 12:28:51 AM After doing further research it looks like these are two separate big buys. Not sure if MC corrected the time on the second purchase, but it now shows 10:44, not 10:14. Piggy back means copy the big player's buy. Yes, I am Vietnamese. :-) BoCap 10 posts msg #141979 - Remove message modified 2/6/2018 9:44:35 PM Yes, but both of them are the same option with the same expiry and strikes, Its just they are 20 mins apart .. i would think they both are from the same institute or at least the same fat cat. So what did you mean when you're saying i should piggy back on the 4000 ( quantity ) ??? I'm sorry i'm lost... BTW you are Vietnamese right ? |

2/8/2018 1:19:34 AM Follow the Money Play of the Day - EEM Premium of $11.9 million on 53,321 of the 6/15/18 $49 Call for $2.24 with stock at $48.33. Daily chart shows trying to reclaim 50 MA. I wouldn't jump in until it does. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 36-64 and bullish order sentiment was 62%, higher than its 30-day average of 52%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday's spotlight - CAT, $3 million, 3,325, 5/18/18 $155 Call $9.05, Stock $152.70 Par for the course as it couldn't have a follow through day as it dropped -1.32%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today was the first day where the portfolio had two losses. Sold MLCO due to earnings for a loss of -50.77% and S hit our -50% stop loss. Amazing that S Put didn't work out in this weak tape. Portfolio's record now is 13-8.  |

2/8/2018 11:39:36 PM Follow the Money Play of the Day - MSFT Premium of $2.5 million on 9,067 of the 2/16/18 $85 Call for $2.77 with stock at $86.69. This aggressive play was purchased seven minutes before the closing bell. Calls have been eviscerated during this carnage so for this investor to buy next week's expiration indicate they might know something? Break even of $87.77 is 3.25% above closing price of $85.01 and would put it back above the daily 50 MA. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 65-35 and bullish order sentiment was 57%, lower than its 30-day average of 66%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wednesday's spotlight - EEM, $11.9 million, 53,321, 6/15/18 $49 Call $2.24, Stock $48.33 Cratered along with everyone else -3.47%, putting the option at -10%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Today's retest of the lows claimed three more casualties - AAL, TSM and SQ as all hit the -50% stop loss. Portfolio's record now is 13-11. This is a great example showing when the market sinks, it sinks all ships, from a tiny row boat to a massive tanker. Doesn't matter if you're a poor retail trader or a fat cat hedge fund manager. EVERYONE feels the pain!  |

2/9/2018 11:19:11 PM Follow the Money Play of the Day - SPY Premium of $3.8 million on 14,965 of the 2/23/18 $265 Call for $2.59 with stock at $257.74. Another aggressive play purchased within the last hour. Smart money thinks the test of the daily Mendoza Line should satiate bears' appetite for now? Break even of $267.59 is 2.33% above closing price of $261.50. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 39-61 and bullish order sentiment was 42%, in line with its 30-day average of 44%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thursday's spotlight - MSFT, $2.5 million, 9,067, 2/16/18 $85 Call $2.77, Stock $86.69 Went as low as $1.60 before rebounding big with the market. Premium is now up 26%. Should be able to hit 100% if market continues the rally. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The late day rally saved the portfolio from further losses. If market recovers over the next two weeks, we should see the win pct back above 60.  |

2/12/2018 10:17:26 PM Follow the Money Play of the Day - SPB Premium of $1.6 million as part of spread on 3,750 of the 3/16/18 $105 Call for $4.20 with stock at $103.40. Smart money was relatively quiet today. Maybe waiting to see how strong this dead cat bounce is? SPB is now at support and getting to the break even of $109.20 shouldn't be too hard if the market co-operates. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was an astounding 100-0 and bullish order sentiment was 74%, doubled its 30-day average of 31%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Friday's spotlight - SPY, $3.8 million, 14,965, 2/23/18 $265 Call $2.59, Stock $257.74 Had a strong day until big fade last hour. Nevertheless, premium hit our first target of +50% in only one day which assured a win since the trailing stop is set at +50%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Not all stocks have participated in this two day rally as was the case of CMCSA. It hit the -50% stop loss to give the portfolio its twelfth loss. Smart money is having a hard time getting out of this slump. A bright spot is MSFT who is now at +61%. This assured a win as the trailing stop is set at +50%.  |

2/13/2018 10:04:05 PM Follow the Money Play of the Day - WDAY Premium of $17.3 million on 10,000 of the 6/15/18 $105 Call for $17.30 with stock at $115.41 A surprising gargantuan play in a weak tape. Recovered nicely from the daily Mendoza Line, but still, breakeven of $122.30 is 4.86% from today's close of $116.63. What it does have on its side is time since expiration is four months away. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 95-5 and bullish order sentiment was 48%, well below its 30-day average of 70%. This is misleading because the purchase price was only $.20 off of the Ask price. Bullish sentiment would've easily been above its 30-day avg had it been at the Ask price. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monday's spotlight - SPB, $1.6 million, 3,750, 3/16/18 $105 Call $4.20, Stock $103.40 Negligible +0.43% didn't move the option price. It needs to move fast as it's already under water. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ A choppy day actually ended up helping all positions in the portfolio. MSFT is almost at +75% and SPY at 63%.  |

2/14/2018 9:50:31 PM Follow the Money Play of the Day - EEM Premium of $2.6 million on 25,750 of the 4/20/18 $50 Call for $1.03 with stock at $48.62. For the second time in a week smart money loaded up on EEM. Daily chart shows all signs are a go to the $51.03 breakeven. Total option volume Call/Put ratio was 55-45 and bullish order sentiment was 62%, above its 30-day average of 48%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Tuesday's spotlight - WDAY, $17.3 million, 10,000, 6/15/18 $105 Call $17.30, Stock $115.41 Gained +3.50% which helped its option premium to +23%. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Portfolio is finally back to its winning ways as I closed out MSFT & SPY when it hit the final target of +100%. The former accomplished it in four trading days, the latter in three.  |

2/15/2018 4:54:03 PM I know it's only been 6 weeks but so far the returns seem pretty impressive here--especially considering the storm it weathered. Any disagreement? |
