 Okay. Do you see the cues? Yeah, I can see. Okay, it worked. Okay, first things first, why did you decide to keep this one here, which is good actually, but I'm just trying to figure out what's going on in your head because you did make the right decision holding it, I think. Well, I just really was looking at the performance of the market and listened to what you've said about how the S&P looks and I agree and so I sold the call that would have it will expire this coming Friday and bought two new calls that I'll hold out as long as I want that they expire on the 29th. Okay, so you did you did you have two for the March? Correct. What did you book on the ones you got out of Friday then? Here, let me look at it. You said your statement. Right. So did you buy any of the spy ones or you just did the cues? I just did the cues. Actually, I don't see the cues one on here maybe because this is not that because that we just did that that this is your statement from January and February. This isn't this doesn't have the March activity. That's why. Oh, doesn't? No, I don't see it. It's January. Oh, there's one March Cisco. Yeah, they're they're they're not even alphabetically listed. Oh, there it is. 313 you made. That's good. Yeah, that was good because you only had one, right? Correct. I you know, I thought, hey, don't get greedy. Just get out of this. Go on. Okay. All right. So that is good. Next target and this is what then where are you going to get out? I'll be honest. I I just watch my games by percentage and say, you know, this is where I was at the beginning of the morning. This is where I am. Am I okay with it? I'm a little bit worried about politics this week. So I really will listen to you. That's fine. Yeah, I mean, I think you got plenty of time in this left because you have it out till the end of the month. But I love the way the scap looked on Friday, obviously. And I love the fact that this is moving ahead of the spy and even the Dow. So if you were going to hold any one of the ones this looks good. Right. All right. So then that one's good. The next target really is 175, which you could take some out. I don't know what you'll be up in them, but you can watch it. And who knows? I mean, we could be there even tomorrow morning. You just never know. I mean, look at how we were up Friday night. I don't know what the what the futures are going to do tonight. All right, let's look at the next one here. Did you own Netflix you got out of then three six or was that the previous Netflix? Which Netflix was that the old one of the current one I just called? That's the previous Netflix. That looks like the biggest one you did so far of the profits, right? My biggest profit. Actually, no, my biggest profits ever were not in Netflix. They were in when resource and the Amazon trade that I closed on Friday. Oh, yeah, I see here now to wins and then the Amazon, the couple of the Amazons. Correct. I see this here. Okay, so Netflix. Are you still in this? Or is this was this with the previous one? You made 1800 something in this one? I am. I'm still in Netflix right now. I still have a call. It's a couple. Maybe let me look. I'm looking right now. I had to open my key. I'm sorry. I have I have one call. I bought it for, okay, 380. I'm up. I'm up $517. Market value is now 772. That's crazy. That's so great. And you only risked three so much more than that. Well, I will now, you know, I mean, I'll be both now I've taken a big break from trading and I'm back and I just wanted to, you know, kind of these in and I took a few hits, you know, in the middle of the well in February. Yeah, let's talk about those. So I mean, I looked at the statement here. You I mean, you just didn't manage these trades well at all. I mean, I think that I mean this like the the the which one was it here? Well, I completely, you know, this isn't me. My whole Amazon trade in January, I was out $1,500. That's when I was sick. That's when I had pneumonia. I know it was one or two. You had made 577. Yeah, two nine. Let me look at that one. So this one you got out of Friday. So anyways, what did you learn from that period though, when you mismatch some of these early in the year? Did you learn to get out quicker? Did you learn to hold longer? Did you learn just you better check where the stock's at if you're not sitting in front of your computer more? Like, what did you learn from that? Because some of these ones where you took losses on you were up, what did you learn from that? I learned that number one, a rule I've even heard you say you have not I shouldn't trade when I don't feel well. Yeah. But it was earning season and I wanted to be in so I gave it a shot. But I, you know, I just wasn't on my game. Yeah. Yeah. And that was that was totally what happened. It wasn't all of these trades could have been profitable. Yeah. And I just simply must have been asleep on this one. Okay, so this you got some bucks. That was good. Do you have any more of this left or that one that one you're out of? I'm still in Netflix. Like I said, I have one call I have two cues that I'm still holding that don't expire, like I said, till the end of the month. That's all I have right now. I'll go back in on other trades this week. One thing just your history of just how you're doing things here, like you you are you're you're really doing like one, one, one, one, like it's really rare that like you did 10 of the Cisco's I don't know why just maybe the cost but you're really doing well you did two Googles here like you're really just just buying one really usually. I mean you're usually just doing one contract one win one apple one I mean you're just doing like really just the minimum lots really. Right I like multiples better and that's what I'll start doing when you send out trades I'll choose what I you know what to take and go from there I'll take more this week. So what are you doing about the Netflix here where are you getting out of that? I'm just going to watch the market Monday morning and I don't really I'd be honest I don't have a targeted area. I just do what I said to you you know I'm just watching this one I'm just kind of amazed it would have to drop like a knife for me to not get out of the profit on Monday. I don't think that's going to happen so I'm sort of comfortable with this profit so far you know? I think one of the reasons is because 98% of them are longs and for whatever reason you still have not overcome this short short short bias to things you just don't see it you see the longs when I call longs and charts but you just don't you don't you can't wrap your head around the shorts for conviction and I don't know why that's something you really have to work on because you do miss short opportunities and with the day training but I mean I think you do well with these because you can see you can see the you can wrap your head around the conviction of going long something or even holding something like the cues or Netflix but you really struggle with that to the downside and I just don't know why. Well honestly I bought I actually forgot about this trade I'm still holding you'll roll your eyes I know I can already feel it. I bought the Expedia Puts and I only bought one foot I paid 413 for it and initially I was again at a profit it went down you know this was for a way off and it dropped yeah I don't know what I was doing that day but I wasn't watching my account so now I'm just kind of sitting here waiting for a blip this week for a second where I can maybe retrieve a little bit of my money. Yeah I mean like if something's down 50% are you gonna kill it or you just write them all out I don't think you are which is fine because I which is fine actually because you're getting them then when they move up but like something like this like would you have killed this if you had caught it right when you were down 50% or you just would have stayed with it I mean actually I thought this looked pretty good around here too and then this this just doesn't look good here. In this trade I might have to go in and work and see exactly the date that I took this trade but the Amazon trade that I actually lost the 15 I went on in this trade that I'm down those were both times in the market where we had that strange whip kind of whip saw it on us you know right and it just went sideways at the worst possible moment it was literally you remember when Amazon dropped that time yeah this was that trade that was in that zone I believe and well that's when everything else did like what yeah I mean the whole market went wacko you know so it was like everybody got caught you know what are you gonna do I think overall I'm doing okay for this year just coming back and as far as your question about my 50% rule okay you know I'm pretty comfortable with the market so I kind of think of it as what is my what's the stock I've had trades my win trade was down over 50% and I don't know pulled itself back together stock went back positive and then Steve Wayne got caught and the stock went back down but now it's back up you see what I mean but you did get out at the right time then when it had the rally which which was good here let me pull that up that was back I said you and I were on the I was on the phone with you that day at lunch and I was like yeah well again that was way back that was back in January right you know in that turnarounds like that if people get really upset about losing you know every once in a while I don't recommend my method but overall it works for me I think one of the reasons it works for you is because and I said this in the room the other day you could be risking way more than you are you are taking a risk that you're so comfortable with that you're allowing the trades to play out and you're giving yourself time to sit down and think about it and look at it and whatever and you're not making split-deck second decisions to get out of them whether you're up or down and it's because your risk is so comfortable for the size of your account and your overall financial picture and that's what I'm saying I mean you were taking just like one of some of these which I mean obviously you could be risking way way more but I think it's good for you to ease yourself into it but I definitely think also the reason you're doing well is because you have an easier time looking at bullish gaps than you do at bearish gaps I'm getting better with the bearish gaps um and you're 100 right about the size of my trades is is causing me to be so lax with my exit strategy you're 100 right and I know and that's why this week my goal was to step up my size of trades so I'll do that okay yeah I think though for the instruction I I I need to do that I wouldn't have to stay as long anyway if I would just spend more money or you can get out of if you do two or whatever you get out of half then into the first move up and then you could hold the rest out until a little bit or you just get out of the whole first thing whatever whatever you want to do you know I mean it's up to you but I think you'd have more flexibility if you take more but I don't even think it matters I think you're making money and I think that's very positive and I know you've been watching watching watching for so long so I'm really happy to see you finally doing it I was thinking about this the other day I was laughing to myself I was gonna tell you this on the phone I swear you're gonna be in my book as the person that did the class and watched for years before I even took a train you've been a member of the training for the options letter you haven't placed a train to the class like five years ago and you're like I think I'll just watch for five years even though I have all this money and I won't do anything and I'll just watch and tell about a hundred percent conviction that she really knows what she's doing it was it was trying to pay attention and like I needed to in those first years I knew you I just didn't I just didn't have my um how can I say I just couldn't give it my all you know and yeah I can't anymore so um I'm excited about that really no I think that um yeah I think you're doing great so all in all do you have any questions for me I mean I think you're doing great here I think you learned from the time you were sick I think that your idea of risking a little bit more is good and it's not going hog while it's just taking like one extra contract or something and I think you're getting better about figuring out when you're not home where you can check your phone or see something or whatever that you know you can look at these sometimes during the day if something happens you're watching the market you're listening to what I'm saying I mean I don't know if you have any questions for me but I think you're doing good I I fit in the room every day so okay as those questions right now um no I think it'll be an interesting open tomorrow um but do you get futures data I don't get futures data do you I do I do have access to some of them okay I'm just wondering uh I'm just wondering if we're if we're flat or I mean I think we're higher for flat we're higher for if we're up or higher if we're down we're higher I mean the only way I don't think we're higher is if for some reason we're down a lot and I don't see that happening I I don't really think we'll get the reaction that we should from everything that's going on politically but what's new I mean that's fine with me I'd rather just have a market without all that that's definitely I'll send you what I have okay um yeah and thank you and thank you for everything I appreciate your knowledge and the time and the everything your friendship thank you oh thank you Jen it was good talk to you have a nice day thanks
