 a great week so it's so funny i thought of you last night my sister texted me that she loves lulu too i'm like geez i didn't know all these people love lulu well i work out and um i do bar you know um bar uh it's called barcentric but it's isometric and all the girls they are wear it so i just was like when i first joined up four years ago i was just wearing regular leggings and and there's really a big difference you know what i mean and there are beautiful colors and i know there are the stores are all over new york they're the brand very popular okay tell me what you did today i just got back and i got a bunch of nice emails not just from you but other people that gyro had a nice call today so yes he did because we were looking at uh we were looking at two shorts we were looking at rh and we were also looking at sgh the only thing that he didn't like about sgh was the fact that it was thin and then he said rh looked like a good short but he's traded it in the past and sometimes it goes and sometimes it can be tricky yeah i see this here now wow look at this jeez yeah i mean it did nothing but drop i mean even when it backed up a little bit it had dropped in the pre-market and it was right before the market opened around it was rallying a little bit so he thought that was good but it also had to come back down to where it was and he did so where did you here i have the one minute chart up i'll say what i would have done after but tell me what what did he call then so he we looked to get in under 112 and he happened to miss it so he said under 112 yeah i see it and i did i got in at 1204 did i get in uh 112.04 i got in and he wasn't in yet but then what happened was he went in at like 1150 so i was in it was good and then he said that the first target was probably going to be 108 108 but it went down to 110 and it kind of hung there for a little bit and i knew the market was was a little bit on the strong side so i said you know what i'm down two hours i'm out and that's what i did because i found the last couple weeks every time i waited for that final flush it didn't come it didn't so so i was just happy being green and two hours to me was a really good day yay oh you mean you were up two hours yeah yes okay so where did he put the stop you put the stop at 112 90 wow that was aggressive yeah or what or 112 65 65 and then i crossed it out and wrote 99 beautiful wow nice call yeah and and if you look at it it's still going i mean it got down into the i know this is insane i mean actually i didn't you know i wasn't here so i didn't call any options on this but this would have been a nice i mean look at the what the low of the day it looks like you're went to one almost one of two that's insane and it never reversed at noon so so you know it's almost like what we thought maybe lulu would have done yesterday in reverse of course you know just keep going no what what i was hoping that fdx would do like a month ago or whatever which just didn't that didn't have any of the follow-through to the short side i'm talking about yeah and this seemed to have followed through but but um and then you know of course the whole week was good for me i mean i didn't trade on monday but but tuesday gyro called the time oh i went he had two different calls i went bbby long that was hard i saw that though yeah i stepped it out for a little bit so that but i was still positive and then the wednesday we did len len was good on wednesday the the third trade was the best one on that i'm glad that you did that yeah this bbby was hard but you made money in the pot here i did yeah i did and len len i did well and then of course lulu i did really well i i got out um i got that ended up being laughing that but it still got really strong and even in here was an ad but then but then it oh no back here it was and it was in the morning after it closed at the room this looked this didn't add and looked like it was going to go and then it didn't and luckily i had an exit on this because honestly this then collapsed which i was surprised i was surprised that this collapsed but it looked like it was going to go over the high here and i thought i would get it to 172 but then it didn't and that and that's why i got out at oh i got out at 17103 yeah that was a good exit almost to the high of the day yeah that was a good exit in the morning yeah and then i just thought that um i you know i was worried that it it had such a big rise in the pre-market i thought you know we were we were you were so patient with that i and it was really smart it made me it gave me even more conviction because i thought did it already go like how are we gonna know that there's no there's no more for it to to rock yeah and so when you were really patient with it i mean we gave it to the total of 940 oh yeah i mean i just was like i felt really good about it so i felt like being very very very focused you know this i mean just right now without it being earning season but i mean even in earning season it's important to be focused so did you have you backed off your risk a little bit or you just been taking quick profits all right a little bit of both so ben and i reconfigured my risk because i what i was doing was i was finding i was holding it too long waiting for that flush when i had been off really green and then and then i thought you know what what hector and me are doing is a good thing and it just and that even helps build confidence so so by the end of last week i was really like kind of down in the dumps and then you gave a couple of lectures just about you know how you have to be positive and have positivity attracts more positivity to you so i'm so i went in this week with a whole new mindset that's terrific and you had a good week yeah and it wasn't any i mean you didn't even hold anything because really you could have you could have taken another trade in rh or even even held rh and you could have bar by bard it really let's see where let me just see if this well yeah you could have held it if you bar by bard it you could have got it down to 109 something you could have got maybe another dollar because here you would have probably wanted to get out here but who could have predicted this would go to 102 again no you know no you could it and especially i don't know what the cues and the spire doing now they're strong they're strong i always seem to go back to that saying okay what's the market doing yeah market's strong and and even though it shook around a little bit this morning it looks like i don't think rh was a good gap but then again so was fdx so i mean you say well why did this one work and this one didn't that's why sometimes sometimes things just don't work and there isn't an explanation but that's why you gotta pick and choose i think if you are consistent then you'll be fine i think you would exit yesterday and lulu i wanted to hold a little bit more which could have paid off it didn't but i still had a good day but i mean that you got it's almost like if you decide you want to hold then you have to either maybe here's another idea again earning season i think we could just be a lot busier but even next week you could you could get out of three quarters of it and a little bit of it or something which in today's case would have paid with rh and if lulu had gone to the crazy number i was thinking it might have then that would have been the same scenario like cosco but it's better if they go fast i don't know what to say and then then it seems like lately if you hold them the later it gets it doesn't go but like but then was like one of those ones we say i'm so glad that i kept watching it because yeah you know it had a huge sign i was watching i'm going oh look at this i know i was i know you called you said oh get back getting you know and then it would hit so fast that i quick send another trade because then i was like well people aren't even gonna get this because it went and that was the first one and then i called the second one but again look at how that closed i know and and the great thing about that was i think it was picking up and the market was tanking because remember we got stopped out of lin because the market really took a dive and yeah that was almost like even though len was kind of separate it the i guess the the pull the market really pulled len with it you know even though so when when you when we went back in it and you saw that len was going up the market was going down and then i said to myself oh see it's go it's without it's without the market it's strong all by itself yeah so that was another sign that gave me conviction so i think what was the other one let me just quickly look at what was the other one you looked at today but that you didn't do uh the other one we looked at was sgh but he said that that that was thin and not worried did it work or it didn't initially but no i don't this looks like it was it was thin yeah it was thin here yeah yeah so it worked when it was thin yeah it worked with them i would have been all over rh2 so i mean and uh but he had a great entry in that so that was that was great at that price point so i'm so glad that it worked out he and he also got out around 109 and he wanted to hold it to 107 and he said you and you know i think we will just seeing the market do crazy things like if you set you even in your letter you said volatility you know what i mean yeah and so i try and keep that in my head because it's it's it's not your usual market you know it's almost like even when the market went down in the beginning of the week you're like okay there's no news there's no i know you know someone's gonna be trump tweeting or or the word china comes up in new support well that's still on top for the next week did ben did ben do the market calls today and the options do you know if he did it or not i don't know he didn't do the lulu because he gave me he wanted me to try it and i'm like look i don't read emails when i'm when i'm doing short so if you have to text me something before it opens or so i i didn't do but you know i was happy because i did so well in the short i don't yeah well this um well i was going to say the market the market fell here bounced and but this is i mean i would hold this i was just going to say if he did do it i would definitely hold these in the next week if he didn't okay you know and we got an hour and a half left of the day the market looks like it's going to try to close green here but the bounce that it had this wasn't the move i expected today but i think this could this i probably call this early today but i but it's going to be a good price for if this does the move that i think next week so i think the market looks good even though it wiggled and jiggled a lot in the last couple days all right i'll tell them so looking back have you made like any differences besides getting out quicker your thinking in the last month since i talked to you or pretty much that's basically it um you know every every day i'm in here i learn more and more and that's why so we have a new we have a new scale system you know we have a new um risk system then wrote it down for me and then but the only thing was i threw it out the window yesterday why why because so so if i followed his system i would have only taken 75 shares of lulu and i'm like you know lulu was really good to us in january i made over a thousand dollars on lulu i love the company and when you gave us the the tutorial the night before and you said if the gaps here were good for short of a gap and i'm like oh i was watching i watched it in 450 and that's why i emailed you about that so i was i was really i i felt really strongly about lulu yesterday but um oh no here was the january one that was the one yeah there it was that was the january yeah long in it then too and i think they upgraded the stock it wasn't even earning yeah i don't remember yeah yeah and i think it went up two hours or something you know or i got and i called an option and that too and that took off like a rocket yeah yeah so but i am trying to behave you know i found that when i was i really made a lot of money in january and it kind of made me a little reckless maybe you know i was i was getting in big bigger than i should have so now i'm just trying to i'm just trying to be positive like do like a hector you know smaller's good yeah positive always good but you were you were doing really well i mean when earnings season starts again in the next week or so i mean i you know you can you can you can trade you can do bigger size because you did well with it i don't know really what happened if it was just it was just a rough month for shorts i think it was a combination of yeah that you know for the for the month of at one point in february in the beginning of march it was just it was just a period where shorts weren't having to follow through but i don't feel like that's the case now i mean obviously look at you know r.h. today but i would say that um you know if you're if you're gonna if you're gonna keep what you have in the sizing fine then keep it until you know memorial day and see how you do but i mean you know maybe you just you know maybe you just got two uh i don't want to get too confident because it's there's nothing there's nothing like you can't have too much confidence but it looks like yeah you know like i always felt like you know it's like when somebody's at the roulette table i'm not going to do that but it's almost like you know that you think you can't lose and you know and it happened i know but i think like that too so there's really it's hard for me to tell you not to think that because i i never take a trade that i think is going to lose i just don't so you know i feel like i have got you in len when we only got stopped and you go that state i'm done and then you're like when you see and you know what you know i knew it was gonna work and it's gonna work i know i know and you just get frustrated and you're like i knew it you know and it's the same thing even i mean let's look at this fdx i mean this is this was just the most ridiculous thing i don't even know what it's doing right now but i honestly i this has a drop in it that's gonna be megalodon whenever it happens why that didn't happen on the earnings i don't know but let's just look at here with this one i have a feeling and you know i was gonna run it by you so you think i think the market is so strong that that a short really has to be convinced of itself to have that huge drop off yeah you know i don't know if that's true and i don't know if it's just you know but but i mean that i i guess for the for the day into four you might be correct except for the fact that like if we can get a big move quick then that's all that we need like with dsw like dsw was a good morning move that did not follow through into four it did follow through on the chart on the day chart but that was one where there was a there was enough there in the morning to make money in it fast but that didn't have the follow through into four o'clock either now it did it it just kind of died actually and the and the afternoon period that was the one in here but then it then it did drop but it's almost like either it's one of two things either they're falling quick and hard and we get them aggressively when they do or they bleed like the rh but i think that that has been selective like you said um you know in reference to that but then there was the other day i don't know a couple days ago the market fell off a planet and there wasn't any good shorts that was the day that we did that we did lend wasn't it the market was falling and we we went long so i don't even know i mean it's you know it's just really about the quality i think at the gap if the gap rates good then it's good and if it and if it doesn't it doesn't and some have been borderline when then you're looking for things to do and that's why i'm kind of like as far as how many things i'm going to do in a day people give me ideas and i try to stick with the one thing because all of a sudden you're looking at three things and you're like do i really want to do three things today because no you know no like you said i have to be on top of it i you know you just and you were and like that's where you with louis you were so focused yeah really were and that's important because like you said i mean it took a while for it to work but you're like did it did it did the pre-market was that it was that the only move it's gonna have i know that's why i was watching it watching it to see but anyway say if he didn't do that option he could he could still do that today and get a better price if he didn't do it now as far as the market goes if he did it he can hang hang with it into next week if he didn't do lulu he can pass but i still think lulu makes a lift if he didn't you know jairo was saying that he thinks that the lift that it had almost shocked it and now it's just got to get used to being up there that's right oh that was good explanation yeah he yeah it makes a lot of sense yeah well great i'm glad you're doing well and i hope you have a big april like you did in january and so we'll see and uh i i mean you sound very organized now with all that you know with all that you're doing so that's good yes and it's funny because i talked at the table and the kids like look at me and roll my eyes what you talk about what trades you did that day or what or like or the one that i noticed or one that i saw are earnings this is earnings and it's and all the kids just like oh there there goes mom well at least ben's interested in it yeah no he got me interested in so yeah he did a monster all right well it's good you were in today because you're not always in in the friday so that worked out for you i know the doctor that i work with he's uh at a conference in san diego so i was so excited because her prize was exciting perfect well how much how much did you end up making that today in red hat um or not red hat art restoration hardware sorry yeah that's like $314 i only took 200 shares okay and i let it drop two hours so yeah so i'm happy yeah so i made 811 for the week so i'm happy that's good that's great yeah that's fabulous and you could have taken more of this so but i mean i don't think there's anything wrong with being you being careful and in size until earnings season right yeah yeah and i just think that like i need my confidence back so you know another week of maybe just easy doesn't it and like i still i still there's certain ones that give me a feel just like mulu gave me a feel this was gonna work yeah yeah well go with it that's what i say go with it yeah instant yep intuition all right have a great week
