    Plowed most of that profit into Wed 410 puts @ $0.25.

    So in short, expect the markets to be up strong the next two days. 

    Hopefully you excited yesterday when there was downward momentum, and you weren't staring at end of day expiration

    One of my coworkers in Charlottesville had a little less than half a tank so he went searching for station that wasn't empty.  After waiting in line for over an hour the station ran out of gas, so he came back with nothing.  After telling me the story, I asked, "so all brakes, no gas?"  He didn't seem overly amused.

    Gotta say, I am very disappointed in your story

    Was 100% rooting for your friend running out of gas while looking for gas

    OK... Not even 30 minutes later I have the sellers remors

    Just remember, nobody ever went broke taking profits.

    Typically I have sell orders for 20% at a 25% profit, 20% at 50%, take some along the way; the object with short term options is too make money not to get rich. Remember, theta is a child hearted bitch who will eat your very soul

    Meanwhile, the idiot governor of Michigan is still planning on shutting down another major pipeline tomorrow:

    https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/may/11/michigan-governor-enbridge-line5-shutdown

    The state of Michigan has told a Canadian energy company it must shut down a controversial oil and gas pipeline by Wednesday amid growing fears that a spill would be catastrophic to the region, in a feud which threatens to strain relations between Canada and the United States.

    The company’s refusal to comply with the order, and swift support from top Canadian officials, highlights the politicized nature of pipelines, which campaigners have used as a target in the fight against climate change.

    For nearly 67 years, Enbridge has moved oil and natural gas from western Canada through Michigan and the Great Lakes to refineries in the province of Ontario.

    But Michigan says that one section to the pipeline – Line 5 – is too risky to continue operating.

    In November, the Michigan governor, Gretchen Whitmer, announced a plan to revoke the easement granted to Enbridge, which permits Line 5 to cross under the Straits of Mackinac. Whitmer set 12 May as the deadline for the Canadian energy giant to shut down the pipeline...

    ...“These oil pipelines in the Straits of Mackinac are a ticking timebomb, and their continued presence violates the public trust and poses a grave threat to Michigan’s environment and economy,” Whitmer’s office said in a statement.

    The company says it has never experienced a leak in the underwater section of Line 5 and is currently working to tunnel beneath the lake bed to further improve the safety of the pipeline. But in the last two years, the pipeline has been struck by boat anchors and cables. And in 2010, a separate Enbridge pipeline spilled 3.2m litres of oil into Michigan’s Kalamazoo River.

    Whitmer, who campaigned on shutting down the pipeline, has received support from Democratic attorneys general as well environmental campaigners and Indigenous communities on both sides of the border.

    “Should anything that’s being transported in these 67-year-old pipelines get into the Great Lakes, it would have devastating effects and irreparable consequences,” said the Anishinabek Nation grand council chief, Glen Hare, who represents 39 First Nations across Ontario.

    In February, a federal court ordered Michigan and Enbridge to enter mediation. Recently, Michigan has argued that the case should be heard by a state court, which could give it a more favourable judgment.

    But international trade lawyer Lawrence Herman says that the United States, not Michigan, is legally bound to keep the pipeline running.

    He points to the 1977 Transit Pipelines Treaty between Canada and the United States, which was ratified by the US congress.

    “Regardless of what the state of Michigan may or may not want to do, the treaty is binding on the United States as a whole,”said Herman. “It’s a matter between the two governments: Canada and the United States.”

    Both governments intended the deal to be a long-term arrangement, said Herman, pointing out the treaty requires either side give 10 years notice to withdraw.

    “My point is, a deal is a deal,” he said.

    Enbridge’s president, Al Monaco, has warned that a shutdown would have disastrous consequences for the country’s two most populous provinces, calling it a “very bad outcome”.

    Line 5 delivers nearly half of the oil needs of both Ontario and Quebec, as well as propane for the state of Michigan.

    Earlier this month, Canada’s natural resources minister said the continued operation of the pipeline was “non-negotiable” and warned that in addition to thousands of job losses, a shutdown would require 800 tanker rail cars and 2,000 trucks each day to move oil.

    Canada and the United States have pledged to reduce emissions, but the two countries remain heavily reliant on oil. The precariousness of energy access was highlighted earlier this weekend after a key pipeline in the US was shut down following a ransomware attack....

    ...In addition to lobbying by diplomats, the Canadian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, has raised Line 5 with Joe Biden, who has not yet commented publicly on the issue.

    She is hated by a substantial number of her constituents, particularly small business owners.

    I don't agree with all that she has done, but to put this in some local perspective. Enbridge, in 2010, had a pipeline leak for over 17 hours in Michigan. There were warning lights that lit up in the control room, but the operators didn't understand what it meant. So over a million gallons of a heavy bitumen leaked into a tributary of a river that flows into Lake Michigan. The only good new is that since it was a heavy liquid they were able to contain the spill after it only went 35 miles, before it got the big lake.

     

    The line they want to shut down sits on the floor of Lake Michigan, and drowning in wind and weather, a spill there could floor into Lake Huron and down there Erie, Niagara Falls, Ontario and into the St Lawrence river. With a fault load of over 20 million gallons a day, through 60 year old pipes.

    And just do you know, of course Canada support keeping the line open. 90-95% of the refined products go back into Canada.

    I support replacing the lines with tunnels that are under the lake, not testing on the bottom. This is what Enbridge proposes, but it will take years, first for permits, then to build.

     

    Brat, send like all politicans are hates by a lot of their constituents, I'm waiting to see if we can ever elect a moderate again in my lifetime.

    Mid morning, I fucked round with some SPY puts expiring today (421) that I bought for .20 and sold anywhere from $.50 to $1.50. Plowed most of that profit into Wed 410 puts @ $0.25. Got a decent chunk of those contracts that I'm now freerolling, plus some profit. Had I just held onto the 421 puts until  end of day, coulda closed those out around $4. So in short, expect the markets to be up strong the next two days. 

    seems like my calls and your puts will battle it out for market dominance (I'm thinking you win, as I've been playing the call game for maybe a bit too long)

  8. LOL - my $420 SPY calls been going in & out of the money all day. Good thing some of them have some theta left in them, the 5/14's look like they could flame out, weirdly my 3/17/23 LEAPS are going up today

  9. Hold onto your butts, Colonial saying they hope to have the lines back up and running by weeks end (from the WSJ)

    Quote

    The operator of the Colonial Pipeline said it hoped to substantially restore service by week’s end, raising the prospect that a cyberattack that took down the primary fuel conduit for the East Coast could last several more days.

    The announcement Monday by Colonial Pipeline Co., which runs the 5,500-mile pipeline from the Gulf Coast to Linden, N.J., provided its first timeline for restoring service following the ransomware attack. The pipeline transports 45% of the fuel consumed on the East Coast, according to the company’s website.

    and ...

    The cybersecurity recovery for the Colonial pipeline could take a few more days and possibly longer, said Marc Ayala, a director of industrial control system security at consulting firm 1898 & Co., part of Burns & McDonnell in Houston.

    “Given the breadth of the unknowns, the discovery, containment, decontamination and remediation effort will be lengthy and likely result in a gradual return to operations,” Mr. Ayala said.

    nice bounce for ALPP. how come?

    Bounce and drop, watching ALPP seems to be like watching a basketball being dribbled. 

    I can't figure out what drives the daily swings, but it's a wild ride. I hate calling shares free, but I've taken out more than my invested $$$s, and I thought I'd hold until $10, sell half and see if there's a long ride on this one. Not sure I see them attracting mutual funds or discretionary ETFs to chase these swings
