3pm update – into the close

US equities are battling to recover… if set for net declines of some degree. VIX is due to settle in the 13s, still reflective of a mainstream with near zero concerns, least of all the middle east.

Summary

*yours truly has picked up STOCK in Barrick Gold and First Majestic Silver.
I’ll sleep just fine with the holy trinity (NEM, GOLD, AG) of gold/silver miners.

I still hold a GLD CALL block, which I should exit when Gold >$2090… preferably >2100.


notable stock: BA

Reflective of the main market… s/t broken

notable weakness: AMD

Reflective of the sector. I’d be open to a lower low next week.

notable strength: DIS

S/t lunacy, as if a battle between different activist groups is somehow bullish. Regardless, the stock is s/t bullish.

notable fin: PYPL

Rough day for Paypal and sister Block.
The grander concern should be X Payments… due by the summer.

back at the close…
