I managed to place a few trades today. If you've been following my trades, I've been a bit light in my trades. I'm usually very excited during earnings season but this time around I'm a bit cautious and have been on the sidelines as volatility is low and most of the stocks are at all time high. I was tempted but resisted from placing earnings play on Amazon, GoPro, and CMG. All three stocks dropped in after hours, especially GoPro (-12%+). I'll definitely look to scale into Amazon and will wait to buy into GoPro until next week. To summarize my trades today, I've added a long position in GOOGL, closed out of my PCLN strangle, then decided to continue shorting PCLN into next week. I'll likely look to close tomorrow or early next week for a profit, earning for PCLN is on 2/17th. After watching Under Armour for the past week, dropping almost every day, I finally decided to take a long position. ViaSat is a company that I love as I almost went to work for them at one point in my career. So instead of buying the stock outright, I'll sell a couple of contracts to collect premium with a break-even price of less than $59, not a very liquid underlying. I sold out of my VXX again to reduce my overall short delta. I bought into XOM to offset my slightly short position in future oil contracts.
