Southwest Airlines Pop, 1 Minute View

Added on by C. Maoxian.

All the airlines (AAL, DAL, etc.) popped at the same time Monday afternoon ... assume scanner would have chirped in time ... great risk reward into the close assuming you were a fast boy and got in within that minute ... look at the tick chart to see realistic entry and stop placement, can't see this on the one minute. Seat capacity quote must have appeared on Bloomberg terminal first; there's a reason people pay $1,800 a month for it.  $9.99 data feed guys the sucker fish who just latch on. 

“LUV CEO Kelly said, ‘We don’t want to grow 8%, we’re not going to grow 8% and we can easily trim the schedule to stick to 7%.’”

StockTwits stream at the time ... no one with access to a Bloomberg terminal, it appears? Umm, holy cow, huh, whoa, what happened?

Bristol-Myers Drop, 1 Minute View

A shame I didn't have scanner running since I'm not sure it would have beeped at the 14:00 bar ... entry below $68.56 makes sense .. would have been good risk reward carried into end of day. Getting positioned short in two minutes following outside bar would have been the dream move. 

Nothing at StockTwits until 14:04 when optionsaddict mentioned "69 call collapsed" and 14:05 when NewsHedge_Squawk noted drop.  

Humana Pop, 1 Minute View

146,000 shares in the 13:10 bar, not sure how many ticks in there before it got halted... even the reopen at $200 (low of re-open bar $192.22) made it possible to make some money, would have taken some skillful entry and initial stop placement. 

Movies Watched -- To Be Takei

Added on by C. Maoxian.

I never watched Star Trek and have never seen any of the movies ... not really interested in much sci-fi or fantasy (this is why I don't watch Game of Thrones) ... but I vaguely know who "Sulu" is ... interesting bits about the internment camps ... George Takei is kind of an interesting guy, a good champion for gay rights ... he's become a fussy little old gay man (see him as a young man in pic below) with a nagging, zhlubby Jewish? partner ... they make a strange and sort of terrible couple, but that's love, I guess.

Again, didn't have scanner running but this should have popped up during lunch hour ... ding ding, wake up and take a look, old man. Crap risk reward if held into the close but it was ahead 30% at one point, so.... if day trading were easy everyone would have wavy thick hair like mine.

Movies Watched -- Force Majeure

Added on by C. Maoxian.

Watched this one awhile ago and wrote a post but SquareSpace got hung up and lost it ... second attempt, foggier memory. Wasn't that thrilled with it.  Beautiful Swedish couple with two bratty kids on a ski holiday in France (they have money). They have a close call with an avalanche and the Dad doesn't try to protect his wife and kids but runs away.  This act of cowardice and selfishness makes everything fall apart (as it should). Movie makes weak modern men ask themselves, "would I do that?" 

Movies Watched -- Crossfire

Added on by C. Maoxian.

This one wasn't so great, preachy ... heavy-handed moralizing ... how big a problem was anti-Semitism in 1947? Jews being beaten to death in America by strangers for being Jews? Did this ever happen?... Mitchum is in it but he's kind of sleepwalking through it. Not recommended.

UPDATE: I watched the "featurette" that accompanied the movie and they explained the story was originally about a homosexual marine who was beaten to death by three of his fellow marines, which is believable ... probably happened hundreds of times? but the censors in 1955 wouldn't allow it, so they changed it to the improbable beating death of a Jew. As an aside, the many stories of soldiers killing their commanding officers or fellow soldiers is interesting, and I thought this was going to be Don Draper's story in Mad Men, but they pussyfooted around and made it an "accident" in his case.
