 I know that this market has been very volatile. And then this morning, we made money really quick. And you wanted to go back after something right away. And I swore. No, no, I didn't. But it looked like sometimes when we were doing BA, and it would look like it was set up again. So that's what something like fried and look at that. No, I'm talking about the spy this morning, though. But that's what I mean. It looked to me like it was setting up to go down again. Like it was just. But you just made your goal for the day. You made your goal for the day. And five minutes and last week, I closed the room. Things have been halting. Look at BA today. Things have been crazy. Like you did don't do anything other than what you would normally do. No. And you know me like, so I just follow you to the ladder. That's what I do. But sometimes, like with all the things going on, I'm like, oh, maybe I wonder if she sees that. Or I wonder if I'm right. Like I wonder if I was right. I do see things sometimes. But I also know that every time you take a trade, your potential at risk for that trade to not working. And once your goal is in for the day, then your goal is in for the day like we did it. That was perfect today. And I wasn't even going to do anything. And then we reversed. So then we did it. So I'm just saying, get your head on straight this week because I, you know what I mean? Like I know. All right. OK. So what are you doing with the options here now? As far as I think this way. So I have a lot of options. I took, I was in a couple from last week that I was holding. So the slide that cues the banks, all the banks. And then what I did today was it looked like everything was headed down again. And they had just, they just rallied back a little bit. So I took another contract. So I mitigated the original price that I bought it at last week. OK. So you did last week's trades. You went right on out. Actually Friday into the close, things started going positive. I don't know if you noticed that or you were watching. I didn't. Friday into the close. That's when no, it was selling off. Because I actually, what I did on Friday, it was Thursday and everything started to rally. Yeah, the puts were going positive Friday into the close of my head call. That's right. And only one that I was really positive a good amount was the spy. So what I did was I had a spy. I think it was, I think it was 280. And I got out of that. I booked a couple hundred dollars profit. I just had one contract. And then so at $3.55, I took another one. Friday you did this. I did that on Friday. That's right. Everything else wasn't green enough for me to want to get out. I wasn't up enough. If it's over $100, then I'll consider getting out of it. But the queues, it was like $50. So I'm like, no, I'm going to hold it. But the spy was up enough for me that I had taken earlier in the week with you. It was the 280 put that I got out of that. And then I took a 260. No, a 228. I took a 228 put. OK, when did you do that? I did that Friday at $3.55. So what I do, I did that a lot with BA. I get out if I'm up like a couple hundred dollars. And then I quick take another one. OK, all right, all right. So then meanwhile, today's trades, did you do? Did you get out of any? Did you hold any? Are you in them? What did you do? No, I was wait. I really thought we were going to have a big sell-off when it was heading down at noon. So I just held on, and then everything went up. And I'm like, what's going on? And then I found out that Schumer said we're close to a deal. And I'm sure that's why it went up. No, but then we're dropping again now, though. Yeah, I'm watching it. I'm not out of anything yet, but I'm watching it. Well, you could with the fast flow, yeah. I'm still up in that. I'm still up. I mean, everything. OK, so you did today's? I did. I did not do Amazon. And I did not do Google. Some of them were really expensive, I know. Yeah, and Google was $30. But I was in enough of other things. I still have all the banks. OK, what you could have done is waited for the big sell-off in the banks, which I said the banks are going to have a big sell-off. Or you could have taken everything off really quick within that one period. Like when they all went, then you could have just gotten out of them all, even though they weren't all 100%. You could have just wiped them all out in one swoop. So that's another way you could have played it when I do that sector. But it's fine if you're still in them. Either way, they're dropping or they did drop today, too. But anyways, long story short, just don't start to get piggy about things or lose conviction. There's two things. One, don't get piggy about things. And two, don't lose conviction when you're listening to the news. Because the problem is if you are, it's like two things I'm trying to explain. If you're getting piggy listening to the news when everyone's saying fear, anxiety, and the world's going to end, then you want to get a piggy about stuff. And you don't book any profits when you're up. Then the other extreme is if you listen to the news and you listen to some things that say a deal's going to pass, once this passes, we're going to rally, this is the bottom. Then you may kill things unnecessarily and then take losses and things that are going to be going to work. So it's like everybody's kind of in this different quad mire here where you really just have to get your head on straight about whatever you're doing. Because if you're listening to the news, then you could be thinking one extreme or the other. And you really have to focus on the charts. And you really have to focus on the gap analysis. And you have to focus on what we're doing. Because if you're not, you could think one extreme or the other extreme. And so either one is problematic. Like be normal as far as what we look at in the charts. And if you watch the news and you see it getting in your head, then I'm not saying don't be aware what's going on. But the reality is that shouldn't be the driver for you. Because I do not have 100% conviction that this market is going to rally once a deal get passed. And the reason that I'm saying that is because of the fact that the market has not rallied on anything that has occurred. It hasn't held anything. No, no, yeah. And you're saying that this morning, even in gaps up, it never holds. We start down. It goes up. And we get a piece of good news. And it goes up for a minute. And then it's back down. So yeah. So no, I have not lost conviction. And I tell you, the time that I did it, what solidified it for me was two weeks ago when we had the big sell off when I made all that money in one day. Well, it wasn't one day. It was options over week. I didn't close out of anything. I held it. And it paid off. Yeah, it paid off. Yeah. No, that was the day. That was the Thursday. That was the Thursday when we collapsed. And we opened in the morning. And then we tanked. Yes, I was in Philly. I was in Philadelphia. And I said to Ben Thursday morning, I said, I'm out of everything. I was up $17,000. And I can walk away. And I'm good. Yeah. And that was five. I did a great job. How much did you have at risk to make that $17,000? You've been doing one contract of everything? Yeah, but sometimes I do two. It depends. When I bought those spies and cues and a JP Morgan, so they were a little bit cheaper today. And I saw that it was like you always had to go with the watch the way that it's going. I saw that I had started down. So I picked up another contract to mitigate my money. And that's what I did. I think that week that I made all that money, the usual spies and the cues, I'll definitely take a second contract. Yeah, well, they have been pricey, too. And it's really limited. Yes, they have. But yeah, OK. All right, so that's fine. Yeah, that was fantastic. I mean, what has Ben saying about this? I mean, the amount of money that you've made so far this year. Well, you know, every time he tries to give me a little bit, oh, well, you should get it. I'm like, look, I got this. I'm good. Don't start telling me to get out. And his big thing is I turn him off. Because they'll say, well, you know, you're red, but there's some money left in the auction. I'm like, no, I'm not doing that. I've done it too many times where I've killed it. And then myself. Yes, exactly. So I'm not doing that. I would rather kiss a goodbye than to lose that chance. Yeah, and then that screws. It actually strengthens your conviction when you continue and you just believe in it, believe in it, believe in it. Now, Bowen, let's talk about that. Let me just pull up my chart for that. I personally wasn't even paying attention at the moment they halted it. Then I saw it. Then they halted it. Like, I'm looking at this here now. When you look at the chart here, I understand that it had a pop after the news, which I thought was odd, too. But again, we don't play news. I didn't call any new ones in this today. Again, the one need to work so it doesn't. But I will say this, though, that this to me is not a big rally. Just so you know. I know as far as you say, well, it just rallied $9 or whatever. But literally, this is nothing to me. This stock looks dead. It still looks dead. It looks dead as a doornail. And I wouldn't be surprised if this falls tomorrow. I don't know why it's rallying on news. It's bad. But we don't play news anyways. But anyways, long story short, this to me is nothing as far as the rally. I know it rallied $9. But this stock has lost more than 50% of its value in the last two weeks. And I mean, the only thing I was just trying to figure out. So either there's a lot of activity of people buying the dip or selling, and that's why it popped. You have shorts covering. You have shorts covering. And you also have shorts covering. And then also, you have people that like to buy bottom. So that isn't going to end anytime soon. So that's what's happening there. And there really weren't any days in there so far that that's been happening in that stock. So I guess I'm not surprised that that's happened today, except for the fact the news was bad. My anticipation was that it was going to fall after the news. But again, it doesn't matter. Because again, it's either going to work or it's not going to work for the Boeing 1. Really, that didn't do anything this morning when it opened until then the news didn't. No, it didn't. Yeah. So I did sell a little bit before noon and then. But I thought, but it seemed like it was lagging behind like the spy and Apple. Maybe because there's more people that are willing to get out of those. I don't know. Like Boeing isn't going to rally and have a sustained rally and then have the markets going to collapse. Like that's not going to happen. Just like you're not going to have the banks collapse and not have the market collapse. Like do you know what I'm saying? Like it's just you have to kind of. Yeah, no, I'm in for the ride. I got one of my puts and I'm just in. I have an Apple. I have one Apple that I bought this morning. I have two BAs. I bought one last week and I bought one this morning. I have a city. I have a diamond. I have, let's see, a Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan. I have two, Microsoft. I have one, the Q's. I have two, the spy. I have two and Wells Fargo. I have one. OK, all right. Very good. So I'm pretty much spread out and just waiting. You know, like I maybe would have gotten out at 11.35. But I was working out of line. No, I mean, I'm not, you know, in these kind of situations, like, again, either you have a plan of action where you're going to get out at a certain point of percentage or you're going to wait for more of a move. And I think that's something that you have to think about what you're going to do and what the expectation is and how the chart looks. I know, like I said, there's two different schools of thought going out there right now where people are seeing the extremes. And you kind of like, for me, like, remember the message that email that I sent? It was the day before. It was the 12th. It was the Wednesday before. I said, make the market pay you. Yes. Make this market pay you. And then it was like I ordered it to happen. Like I waged magic wand and it happened immediately the next morning. So I mean, it's, you know, it's like that. And like you said, the market's lower. So, you know, and I believe that because what really, I mean, so as of today, there's no injection in cash. We're still all where we were a week and a half ago. You know what I mean? So it just makes me, so no matter what comes out of the media for a minute, it might make something pop a little bit, but it doesn't change the weakness in the chart. That's right. That's right. So just stay focused. Continue booking money. You're so far ahead this year. Like the world thought you would be. There's nothing you can do wrong. So just as long as you stay focused on, as long as your risk is normal and you keep booking money and you stay focused on the gaps, you can't either, you can't make any mistakes the way I'm calling these trades, Jackie. Right. No, I know. And I mean, even the day trade, I mean, you know, we're greener ready for this week. So and it took us five minutes, Melissa. It's like the good old days. Five minutes. That's what we're going to do all week, which I'm thrilled about. So anyways, are you still, I wouldn't ask you, because you're a nurse. Are you still working your other job? Or are they close to your work? No, so I retired in October. I remember I told you I wanted to. Because what happened was my youngest son. I thought you were still doing part time. Part time somewhere, I thought. I was working part time at two different places. And actually, I was a head and neck nurse practitioner. So like this whole thing would have been, we would have seen a lot of it, right? Because they swab up the nose. And it's sore throat. And but you know, it's crazy. And you might think I'm crazy, but I think that this went through my house already back in December. The virus? Yeah, because my son, Seamus, who's 20, he's 24. He was sick for two whole weeks. He's normally healthy, but he had something that kicked his butt. And he had fever, sweat, sore throat. And then my dear had it. And we all had varying degrees of it. And I said, you know, when they start testing for antibodies, I really want to know because Ben goes in the hospital every day. They have a patient in this hospital that has it. He hasn't had an interaction, but we've all been knocked with healthy. So I don't know. I think went through my house. So when your son got sick, though, he did get better. He did. Yeah, because he's healthy. He's a young, healthy guy that works out. You know what I mean? He was on his back for two weeks straight. Wow. Yeah. And then Deirdre had it. She thought she had my Deirdre is 18, went to her date dance. And they went to get Chinese food. She thought that she had food poisoning. But at last three or four days, she had all the GI symptoms. She had sweats. She had fever. So who knows? Who really knows how long this has been around? Yeah, interesting. No. And then I was really, I was trying to text you today about what Israel is doing is they're saying, keep all the businesses open. Whoever is prone to pre-existing condition or has a fragile immune system, they should quarantine. And then all the businesses are open. I don't know what they're going to do. Well, I think they're going to do that. Because other than that, this is going to destroy our economy. It's going to. Yeah, it's interesting. So you retired from all your nurses' jobs in October. I did. I'm done. Yeah, I am. I stay at home, mom, just like I always wanted to be. And a trader. I'm a trader. That's right. Well, that's great. I forget now, when did you do the class? Oh, gosh. It's over a year. I, the class, I believe it was September of 2018. Yeah, 2018. Yeah, it's a little over a year, yeah. Yeah. So every day I learn in the class and I know more now, I feel more comfortable and I kind of know how to mitigate things. And so, yeah, I mean, I'm just, and to go over my, I love going over my notes. Sometimes I wish you'd offer a quick, like some sort of refresher course, not the whole two-day thing. I know, I'm like, honestly, I was planning on lecturing this morning. Because I said, you know what? This week I'm going to have the room open. I'm not going to have any trials. And then if we don't do anything, we'll do lectures. And I could have done that last week. But actually, I was trying to get, I was out last week trying to get stuff. I was like, I didn't have last week to go out and get stuff because things are getting worse here with people running around. So I like, I needed the time last week to go out and get my own supplies. Yeah, you did. And just, you know what? Every time you pull back, your focus is that much stronger. Like, we had a couple of Mondays where there was nothing else. So you didn't, we didn't trade. You kept the room shut or something like that. And you came in and we just were boom, boom, boom. And that's what you've been now, you know? Same thing. You said, you need to take a step back to take two steps forward. Yeah, exactly. Absolutely. Well, you're doing fantastic. Keep it up. Tell Ben to take a chill pill. And I tell you, I love your lectures, like even post-market. Like I'm always watching and looking and because, you know, it just solidifies everything that goes through my head at that moment. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, this morning was wild. I don't know if you looked at any of that stuff this morning while it was going on. Because I woke up early, I saw it, and I was like, oh, we're down big and awesome. Like, wait a minute. And that's the thing. Sometimes I always think to myself, OK, here comes a sell-off. And then it somehow, in the middle of the night, just bounces right up. It's like, this is crazy, crazy. But don't you understand that's not going to continue. Right. It's not the big money. I understand that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, like the hedge fund, big money. It's people that are home doing it, you know, and trying to buy those dips. You know, people know, the kids' friends will know I day trade. They tell your mother how she's doing, or something, you know, they'll bust my chops. And you know, they're buying this, they're buying that. Even my mother said, oh, how are you doing? Because you know, the mark goes out and I'm going, oh, great. We love when the market's down like this. Yeah, they don't understand that you're shorting. Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah, that's cute. That's funny. Yeah, so. Well, listen, you're doing great. Stick with everything. Thank you, Melissa. Do you see anything interesting? You know, always send me any articles or whatever's going on. Yeah, I try. Yeah, I didn't say in my bar routine in case you wanted to. I saw that. I'm like, I'm running out of space here between the stocked up paper supplies and food. I'm like. But I was worried about you because, you know, New York City is almost like, it's like ground zero all over again. Well, honestly, I know you're alone, so. Well, and they shut down the city. I said, I can't, I don't need anything, but I'm going to go out one more time. So I wrote a paper story. So I went. So then I said, I didn't even need anything, nothing. So I left and I said, I'm going to go out one more time because then I knew it was going to get worse because he shut everything down. So I went back to CVS. My timing is impeccable, not just for trades, but for toilet paper. So I walk into CVS and they're unloading more toilet paper at the exact moment that I walk in. So then I got more. I got more. And I said, what do I need? Light bulbs, cleaning supplies, Windex. I try. I loaded up everything, went to the checkout. I had no bags to take it. They were sold out of bags again. Oh, that's annoying. Yes. And then I said to the girls, the same girls before, I said, can I have another one of those plastic garbage bags? And she said, well, you should have brought the one back I gave you the other day. She said, can you believe it? And stuff, and they don't want to give me a plastic bag. So I said, well, I can't, I have no way to get this home. So then she gave me another one, but she expected me to bring the bag back. I'm like, like, seriously, like that was hysterical. So then I could barely carry everything across the street. And then I got in, I said, you know what? I just needed, I was going to go back one more time. And I went back one more time, and again, as soon as I came, just for stuff. I'm like, I don't need to leave this apartment, probably, at least until like September 1. Amazing, I think, I talked to my mother. My mother's going to be 89 on the 31st. She still works, right? So she's, I said, mom, you really don't have to go. Oh, well, they scale back for hours. And there's only three people in the office, and nobody comes in from the outside. And you know, you're talking to people that have been through depression, world wars. You know what I mean? So it's in the grand scheme of things. And she's healthy, she works that. But today, she said, your sister called me. Her friend Lorraine had a friend who had a friend who had a friend who was exposed to something that had the disease. I'm like, oh my God, that's six people. Yeah, yeah, that's getting transmitted. So I'm really not going to go out. I don't, I have everything I need, I'm not going out, but it is interesting because before I know the market here, real estate wise is going to tank. And it's going to be very interesting to see what happens. But I'm positioned well to give advantage of it whenever that is, but I think it's going to tank. I'm seeing this out ahead of time. So it doesn't matter if rates are low, like if the market's going to tank, it's going to tank because some people are not going to be able to, one, people are going to want to spend money to buy a big property. And also people, some people are going to default that are in loans right now. They're going to do just what it is. So you'll have your pick of whatever apartment you want. Yeah, that's exactly right. Because you'll have cash. So I'm just saying. Cash is king. Cash is king when the streets get bloody. Oh my gosh, Melissa, when this is all over, we should have an America Day or something and the whole world should celebrate. I know, 10 months ago. Now you're like, I wouldn't get 110 billion dollars. I'm feeling two weeks ago, it was a ghost town. I mean, you know, it couldn't be any safer. There's nobody around. You were lucky you got back. I know. I mean, you were, you like got back right before it hit. Like literally, like, seriously. Well, the good thing about Philly and Buffalo, they're really not that far apart. If we had to rent a car, we could. Yeah. I mean, it's an hour flight, so it's easy. But yeah, we went out to dinner every night. We had a great time. So that's got to hold us for a while. No, everything's closed now. So you wouldn't even be able to do anything. Yeah, well, a lot. I've been trying to patronize, like, so I cook and then one or two nights a week, I try and order out to patronize the businesses that I pick up. Oh, that's nice. Yeah, you know, try and help, you know, you try and help out where you can. Yeah. Well, good for you. All right, I'll see you in the room tomorrow. All right, I'll see you in the room tomorrow. And tell Ben to stay safe. Yes. Where is Matt? Hold back for my option. Don't touch. I'm listening.
