Happy Fathers Day to all the fathers on the board. I hope you all enjoy the day. I will be spending the day with my son and his girl on lovely Lake Hopatcong as by next year this time it will be Happy Grandfather's day!!! Due on my my birthday Aug 7. I am thinking that she should be called Duana, however my son has other thoughts. :(

Paper trading. Made some on weekly AGN at-the-money calls. I hesitated a bit on entry, and it "cost me (virtual) money. I exited way early on a market order, and that cost me some more (virtual) money. I should have used a Limit exit.

Your Son sounds like my kinda guy! He definitely got it from you! You remember rat, the Quad Cinema back in the day, now it IFC, or Film Forum.. I love movies.
So happy that everyone that could spend time with family. That's what all about.
I just want you all to know, when he was alive, my Dad was the BEST DAD EVER !
LOL, Good Times !!!

I actually worked on movies for almost 24 years, in editorial, and as a sound editor. I left the business when my son was about 2 because the hours were brutal, and I was fairly high up, and could see that there was no place up there where I could avoid working 70-80 hours a week. It was a hard thing to do, but I took a break, and then never went back. My son, oddly, became a cinephile. He sees well over 1000 feature films every year, and know many people in film, and the programmers at all the repertory houses in nyc. Funny how that worked out.

That sounds awesome rat. Gonna check it out on Netflix. Big screen must have been awesome. My son, who is thirty, has not seen a real movie ( AKA one without a superhero ) in years. Obviously your son has a great dad who is cinematically and culturally aware. Me not so much. We hit the links in the morning, then had beers and burgers for lunch and then we saw Godzilla, which we both slept thru. HOWEVER, anytime I can spend time with him anymore is a blessing.

WOW AL, that sounds like Fathers Day and Christmas all in one. Can't get better than that. I'm going to have to hit you up for some grandparenting tips, sounds like you are quite adept!!

It all sounds cool, guys. I enjoyed Father's Day/combined Birthday celebration with my wife and my 2 sons (39 and 37 years old), their wives, and four very energetic grand children. I really enjoyed spending the time with them. Some of us watched YouTube videos cast onto our TV screen. Some of us spent the day running around the house and chasing each other, and making drawings.

One more time, please. The conclusions I came to are based on only a few charts. I looked through a file of past charts with Gold Crosses, and found that the situation is more complex that I thought. No surprise. Sometimes price makes a Gold Cross, than heads down. I will try to come up with a better discussion of the setup. More later.

Oops again. Paper trading. I did not have any options on ZYNE, just some stock. I do have some call options on GIS in my paper trading account.
My apologies again

My apologies.

Just looking at my daily paper trading results. Two of my active winning long term option trades, GIS and ZYNE, have similar five features: 1.) A top, 2.) A Bottom, 3.) A Gold Cross, 4.) A fibo retrace to a significant fibo, such as 0.886 or 0.618, and 5.) a subsequent fibo retrace to the 0.300 - 0.382 area with STO OS, followed by a roughly 10% gain.
