 So yeah, I was just looking for almost like a scalp for anything because of the first trade, you know, I didn't really know where it was going to go. To be honest with you, I think it had a big move today. When you look at it open at 140 a 50, it ran up almost to 155. That was a big move. You know what I mean? Without the market, yeah. Yeah, I thought that too. And I was kind of, I hesitated a little bit to go into the second trade only because I had been out and I was on my way home. And so it was wet, like it was 153.80. And I said, you know what? I'll just do a little bit and see if I can get some out of it. And I did. So I was happy then to add on to the day, but the option was great. So what did you do with that one? What did you get? So this morning, I took one contract and I got out. So I made $330 on one option. So you quick got out when we got out of the day trade? Yes, I got out of both of them because you know what? Tomorrow's Thursday, tomorrow's, and look what the market did this afternoon just because the Fed said, oh, you know, I was like, why is it all of a sudden started going, everything was going down, like what's going on? And then I read that that I guess it was the Fed meeting this afternoon or the minutes. Yeah, somebody sent me the article, but then it's been again, I don't know where we're going to open tomorrow morning, but it seems like every single Thursday we rally. So it's really, I mean, you're right. So I have I have a confession to make. I had a really rough time right before this earning season. I was down and how am I like how much I could trade every day. And I kind of started this earning season. I identify a lot with what you've been saying in the room, because of the risk and everything. And so I've been managing my risk and I've had a really successful earning season. So I'm kind of back on track. So where did you get off track with the options or the day trades? Both, because I find that I have this awful habit of holding everything too long when I'm up. Really? Yeah, I do. You know, like you always like, you know, sometimes you'll say it in the room and oh, Jackie's swinging for the fences. I don't swing for the fences anymore. So then you've been doing this all of now, the booking the profits July, August or when I started July. In fact, I started it. I just I threw out my old book and I started a new book on July the 13th. Because you were doing really good at the beginning of the year. I was. I was doing good up until St. Patrick's Day. We had a huge option. I think it was in BA. I made like $3,000. I was like sailing high. I was like, I was topped out of all. And then that month, you remember that month where that was a pandemic. Yes. And it seemed like things that should things that should be rallying were selling off and things that were should be selling off were rallying. So the gap downs. So it so it messed me up too. And and it really shook my confidence. So I just said to myself, new book, new earning season, I'm just I'm gonna I'm gonna lower my risk. I'm gonna manage my risk. What I found that I did was even even though I ascertain my risk and the beginning of a trade with the stop, like say it was $200, I would do all the 200 right away so that if we got stopped out, now I was really behind April because that now I if we happen to lose again, I now doubled my loss. Okay. So I found that what I have to have to do is I don't put as much in at the first go round. And if it happens to go to I don't make as much as I would have. But then again, I seem like I've been doing better that way. I don't lose. And then and then I can come back in on the second trade. So, okay, well, that's good. Yeah. But I definitely think things are following through like even the KSS. Look where that went. I mean, I got out of it before it went all the way down to 1930 something. But I mean, like, but again, I've gotten into more of a groove of getting out of the day trades quick. Because I think for a while there, I was wanting to hold some of them too. And then they were backing up. And you know, it's tough when you know something's going to go to a certain number. And it doesn't go there in the time that you want it to go there. Yeah. And then I and then I just have to walk away and say, you know what? It was a really good day. I made $200 today. And if you were talking about that in the room, $200 and five days a week, that's a thousand bucks. That's a good week, you know? So I've been having a really good earning season. Well, that's good. So then you didn't do the test list because they were expensive. Right. Right. And I even started my op. So kind of today, I kind of revamped my option. So I just did the one. I did the target. I didn't do any called yesterday. Okay. And so today I did the target made $330 and I'm out. I'm out. Okay. Okay. What about the Disney's? Did you do those? I did the Disney. I did the Disney last week. And I think I did well with that. Yep. I did well with the Disney. But you know, I only take one contract. And the thing was before I got off track, I was starting to take two and I was trying to hold one and like get out. And I just kind of, I just, you know, less is more. I just have to like go back to like kind of square one. And I have to take the emotion out of it. Like, like, in a way, we're similar like that. We're like, when we're, we have a motion, we're like, oh, let's stop. You know, and that's what happened with the cues last week. You knew it was going, you know, and then all of a sudden boom, and something happened in a flip. Do you remember that day? Yeah, definitely. But the ones now this week, even the apple and the cues, they, they were positive trades. Yes. But they, I'm not going out, but they weren't as much as I thought they were going to be, which is interesting. I took that apple too. And it wasn't, you know, I kind of, but it was positive. But I'm like, you know what, this is not going the way that I think I'm talking about the four sixties. I don't know if you were still in those. No, no, I didn't, I didn't take, I, I kind of just stepped away. And I, I'm like, today was my first day of like, okay, and like, I'm just trying to be really easy does it with everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah. So you've been, I wasn't at a target today. I just hope that, you know, I was up 110% return investment. So I thought today's a really good place to get out. And it never looked back. So that was, that was a really good way to start with my back with the options today. Well, I think that it's higher, but then again, you don't know what the market's going to do tomorrow, the numbers. So if the market collapses tomorrow, then target won't move tomorrow, even though I called it out for next Friday, it's right too stressful then to hold something when you're up more than 100% a day or two till it goes back around, you know. Yeah. Yeah, it is. And so even, you know, I kind of have this plan that if I'm up anywhere between $15, $100, I'll get out because $100 for the day is good. And I can, you know, so, so we'll see. So, so the options I'm going, but the day trades, I'm very happy about so far in the, now I've been, I've been averaging 100 to 200 risk. That's been my up. And so, so far this earning season, I've made almost $1,400. That's great. That's great. Yeah. Yeah. And we still have one more week left in August. Yeah. And we have some good, I was looking ahead and we have some good things next week. BBBY is next week. There's, there's some really good ones. Good ones. So I didn't even look at what was out tomorrow. I forget. Oh, I love. So tonight we have NVIDIA. Oh, that's right. SNAPS, SNPS. Do we sometimes do that one? And LB. LB, I think we do. Okay. Okay. I'll look for those. And in the morning is BABA. Oh, that's the one. That's the one that was tomorrow. And DJ. Yeah, BABA. We had a good one last week. And that was a surprise. Yeah. No, I think, well, you know, reach out to me if you, I didn't hear from you. So I assumed that you've been doing good. I didn't know you had, we were holding the issue off. Well, I knew, I knew what my issue was. Yeah. I was going so hot and heavy and, you know, far and yeah. And so I knew what my problem was. I mean, it's definitely hard sometimes. So when I look at that Tessa, which was a great push up there into the one day, and then when it gapped up 100 points the next day, you say, and I knew it was going to gap up. I said it. I knew it was going to gap up. And, but you can't look back and say, you're, you're almost, you're better off getting out with the profit because you know that you have the money that holding it too long and then losing it versus the one and 10 times that it'll do like what Tesla did, which was gap up 100 points. So I mean, like, you know, I mean, this is the year, been the year of BA and Tesla. Now, BA is kind of let us down all of a sudden. But now here's Tesla picking back up because we were going, we were going longer Tesla in the beginning of, I just remember that day trade. It was 325 and we held it all day and I made $2,000 on a day trade. So I mean, you know, so you can understand we're so expensive now though. Yeah, I know it is. I know it's gotten too expensive now to do as a day trade. Although it's going to split. So who knows what's going to happen then. I think it's still going to be expensive then to be honest, but we'll see. We'll see what it, what it does. But BA hasn't been doing anything right. So I'm just, I don't even look at it anymore to be honest with you. Actually, I, I, I peak every once in a while and it's gone down to 169 and it just seems like it won't break that area. Yeah. You know, yeah. I don't even tell me what it does until it falls. You were left out about Altar. Remember last year we did Altar. I know it was the same thing. We're expected more out of that and it didn't work. I think it's what, it's interesting now that we're doing some of these multiple strikes or they're on my watch list like you can feel when it's played out. You can just tell when it is like we're in this Tesla now, like again, this is either going to pop up to that number or it's, or it's done. Like you can just kind of tell like and sometimes you do and you say, I think that it says one more move in it, but if you do it three times and then three trades work and the last one fails, then you know, lay off of it, you know, right, right. And that's the way it was with BA because we did a couple of puts in BA in the last couple and it didn't do anything. Yeah. So quickly before you go, what's been going on in New York there where you are? So we're opening the gyms on the 24th. But you have to wear a mask. Yeah. I mean, you know me, I do bar centric and that's considered a dance studio. We all have our own six feet space. You don't, as soon as you get your space, you don't have to wear a mask. And I love going because I found it when I was doing it home online. I just wasn't, I would leave the room, the kids would call me. So yeah, but, but I have to also tell you something. So my, my, my second oldest son is he's got his own little account. He's doing trades and he doesn't want any of my help. And I said, you know, yeah. So he told me he made a lot in the discovery channel because of the shark week. Oh my God. That's adorable. So you don't, you don't, you don't tell him like Target or anything like you didn't tell him. Well, I, you know, so he has the airline stocks and I'm like, well, maybe you shouldn't buy him down. He goes, Oh, they've gone up so much. So, but you know, I could tell that my, my mother always says, unsolicited advice is criticism. Oh my God. Well, he'll go through his, he'll take his hits and then he'll, he might ask you for advice at some point. Maybe. And I actually met somebody, my nephew got married last week because I was in, don't forget I was in New Jersey, which was safe to go. And so my sister-in-law, my sister comes up and she goes, I hear you trade stocks. So I'm probably going to give her your name. Oh, that's so cute. What does she live in New Jersey? She lives in Cream Ridge, which is kind of, it's a very rural area in Central Jersey. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Give her my number. What's interesting, like, I mean, I think I've been trading more this year than ever before because I'm home all the time. Yeah. You know, you know, calling after noon trains. I mean, you know, everything, but it's like, I, when you went out to the dentist that day, I was looking at Tesla in the morning. I remember in the morning when you said it was hitting 1560, then it was going to go. And I'm like, Oh, it hit 1560. I saw it too. Yeah. Yeah. And the one day that I leave, but it's tough to go out. So I really, it's better not to go out quite frankly, because going out is so bad. I know. I worry about you, but you know, when you're living somewhere, it doesn't sometimes seem as bad, but up here in Western New York, we're good. We're really good. So all your businesses are open. Everything's normal. Yeah, we have indoor dining. I can go to church. We just, we just have to wear a mask and indoor dining is you have to wear the mask. And then once you get at your table, then you take it off. So, you know, um, yeah. So, so, and you know, it's a shame because we feel like, you know, that, that any wrong move and Cuomo is going to put the rules back on. Like, it's just such an article yesterday. I don't know where it was in Bloomberg or some, some where it was posted on that somebody said they're, they're, they're prepping people for a second wave in New York. I said, Oh my God, you got to be kidding me. We never got out of this first nonsense. I mean, everybody here is like trapped. I'm trapped and everything's trashed. That's what I feel. I mean, it's, it's just bad. And I feel so bad. I was just there at Christmas time. And thank God I was, you know, walking the streets, there was no room to walk on the streets, all the look, the lights and, and we lost our Lord and Taylor up here. They closed. So, yeah, yeah. But I'm glad I could train and I'm glad I kind of got myself back on track. So, I mean, once it gets to be to the point, I think where you feel like it's not a big deal, then you can take more risk. So like, if you're, if you're nervous about it, then it's too, then maybe it's not, if you're nervous about it, like it could take another six months to get, to get your risk up again. But I personally don't do the get out and hold half. Like I just, I'm either all in or I'm out or I take it or I do it. I know some people like to do that. But for me, it's the same thing with the day trades. I just prefer like, because I feel like I'm thinking about it. If I'm in something, if I'm, if I'm, if I'm holding it, I'm thinking about it anyway. So I may as well, if whether I'm in it with half the size of a full size, like if it's on my mind and I have to look at the charter, but it's, it's in my head, then I'm just in it. So once I'm out of it, I don't want to think about it anymore. And that's how I look at it. Like for the day. Yeah. Yeah. And that's why I kind of, I, I hesitated a little about going in for a sec, the sec, the third trade on target, because I did, but because I was out. So I didn't take it exactly when you said, and that always kind of makes me a little nervous, but it really never went down to stop. Yeah. Never went down. Yeah. Never went down. So that's why I, I scalped it. Yeah. It's the same thing with KSS. Like I looked back at that then later and I saw what it did, but it wasn't like, I would have been more pissed if I had gotten stopped. And then where we got out was a low of the day. I never wrote 20. Do you know what I mean? Like, yes. So it's like, you know what I mean? Yeah. So it's been good. And hopefully tomorrow, you know, we'll have Baba and, you know, it'll, it'll be good to us again. Yeah. We'll see what happens. Well, I'm glad you're doing good, Jack. I'm glad your family's staying. Yes. Thank you, Melissa. Yes. And you know, it's kind of, it's a little bit kind of embarrassing to be back in that spot. But then, but then everything you were saying in the room the last two days about the size of the risk and all, and, and that's, and, and I had to learn that. And I think I have learned that. I know. I think it's, everybody goes through that period where you almost get like a little bit, I don't want to say greedy, but you feel like you can do no wrong. I know what I'm doing. Yeah. Yeah. Yes. I think you're doing great. Hopefully Ben is still your champion behind you, cheering you on. Yes. Yes, he is. He is. He is. So thank you, Melissa, for everything. So I said hi. I will. And I'll see you in the room tomorrow. All right. Take care. All right. Bye.
