On March 10th I sold June 20, 2025 $165 calls because it looked like panic buying. Looked like a genius because it dropped substantially over the next week or two. Then it started to recover. If I understand, a golden cross occurs when the 50 day MA meets & goes above the 200 day. I don't know if the fact that the 50 has reached the 200, but not risen above, officially makes it a golden cross ? Does the fact that it had such a long red candlestick (Bearish) on Friday have any influence ? https://www.imagebam.com/view/ME10UWHQ These are held in a taxable account, & in my situation, if all 400 shares were called away @ $165, it would be disastrous for my 2025 tax liabilities & health care insurance.

Death/Golden Cross are lagging indicators. I assume you are using other indicators? Not sure what you're asking. I think the market continues to go down and this stock will too. ETA - Options are scary to me. I only gamble with them. Even if you're right the market can and will make you pay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just wanted your opinion on whether or not the chart looked bullish or bearish to you at this time. You answered that in the 2nd sentence of line 2.

Tebok 409 Posted April 6 On 12/18/2024 at 7:07 PM, Death said: Yes, it dropped like 5 percent, and that was just tariffs announced on China. I'd imagine it would at least do that again - around 2,000 points - but I would expect more if it's China, Mexico, Canada and other countries, which is why I guessed 4,000-5,000 points. I hope he's doing his whole "Art of the Deal" schtick, throwing out something horrifying and then negotiating it to something less horrifying. Today's drop was due to the fed saying it would only cut interest rates twice in 2025. How can it know that sh!t now? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
