RE: My Lions All Quiet On The Front. From Gregory Mannarino
I will tell you why if you eitehr set up a new blog dedicated to it, or I will set one up. I will answer all of your questions. Why not find out the "real" reason, greg? You can always just carry on with what you are doing no matter what. I will answer every question as I am open and honest in all my dealings. It will truly surprise me if you reveal yourself thru our conversation though. You need to understand that very few people are following you into these trades you are posting anyway. The volumes on the options contracts you are choosing are so low in many cases that if there is anyone trading it is likely only one person. I'm "hoping" that's you, Greg. But if nothing else the "facts' show that you really have "zero' to lose. Your followers will still follow. Is this the kind of thing you would feel comfortable discussing?Ask me anything, greg. I have nothing to fear...nothing to hide. :-)
A new blog? Why? Real reason for what? I don't understand joe. I tell you what. Send me whatever questions you want, I will answer them and you can post it. Sounds ok? I mean what is this all about anyway? With trading there has to be two sides. Sometimes I get it right, and sometimes I don't. Just like anyone else.
Cool. So let's start with the "obvious" question. And thank you for being a man and unflagging my new SLV trade at my blog btw. We can get along, Greg. And I bet your viewrs will learn something new too. Anyway. When trading options correct timing of your entry is all important as you know. For your viewers to get a "realistic" glimpse of the trade you are "actually" making., why do you not just post the price paid for each of the trades you post at your web blog? I'll let you answer and then you can ask me one. :-)
I do not think it is important actually. Moreover, by the time another trader looks at the price, it will/can change depending on if the asset gained or lost. My picks are guidelines that I would hope people would do their own study on. Joe, I have to go for a while bit I am really glad we are talking. Lets pick this up soon.
Yes, let me know when you have time because I would definitely like to follow up on your response. ...using you SLV trade you posted last Fri. You can take some time and study the options volumes and pricing for that particular day as you will likely need that information to quantify what you just said about "prices changing constantly" during the day. With that particular $14 Sept expiry SLV put vs call pair. You have the first question when you get back. I'll follow up after I reply to you. We can take this as slowly as you'd like. I have lots of questions. Hope you don't mind. :-) Have a great evening, Greg. The good news is that I don't believe that any of the scenarios I outlined at my blog about bitcoin, silver, gold, the VIX, the RUT 2000 (which is the one major index that never traded to and thru its previous 52 week high)...any of that stuff I outlined will get set up "properly" until late afternoon. So at least you "know" I won't "troll" you until then. Should be a nice "relaxing" day for you, Greg. Cept forr "maybe" the silver trade. I won't pick on you if you wuz wrong...promise. :-)
I think SLV could run a bit higher here but I will not be holding it much longer. I hate trading GLD and SLV. My USO and UA trades are going nicely but there as well, I will not hold much longer. Let's hope UA especially does not go south on me.
Well your silver long position closed at pretty much what they were selling for on teh day you initiated your straddle, which turned out to be only a long position I guess. If you go and review the "inital" trade I posted on Th, teh day before you initiated your trade, you will see that I logged in a very short term trade (SLV to $16 by 7/7 expiry via the call contracts that were at .09 market at the time), and then later I also initiated a longer term trade to $16 by 7/21 in SLV for .13 per contract. Both of those trades were initiated even though SLV didn't quite generate a proper short term buy singal. Butt! I was confident enough in it that I figgured at least one would pay off nicely. The short term trade took on water to having me down 33% at one point. That actually made it easier to initiate the longer term trade. I don't get scared...I get even or better. :-) Anyway, the Mon gapdown set some "ominous" signals on teh chart. I believe that the overnight trading low on SLV of 15.40 will be taken out. That low won't even show up on the follow chart I will link. But it's there. This is why I banked 2 nice gains and I posted the exits 'live!" as I made the trades. Nice trades of +40% and +75% for holding for 5 days basically. Since I still have the open GDX long trade that I posted at my blog...and SLV today signaled its second consecutive short term sell order in 2 days, it looked like the perfect time to hedge. I could have done a tad better with my exit on the SLV $16 calls at both expiration dates. But since I entered the short trade at basically the high of the day (as outlined in my new SLV trade blog), I felt I made up for the chips I left on the table with a little better entry on the short then if I just jumped in "haphazardly." I have til the 7th of July and I am "pretty sure" SLV will see at least 15.60 by then. The trade cost .22 per contract. So SLV basically needs to drop below 15.70 and if it does it quickly this trade will double. So it was "hedging"...but I did it a tad differently than you maybe would do it. What can I say? I'm a eunuch. :-)
Here's the SLV chart and the Mon open is the focal point. It "actually" traded looower than the low on this 5 day chart. The "target" low is 15.40 and therefore I would not even personally consider a new long trade until that number is taken out.

I forgot. By the way, check the traffic my website gets, thousands of views a week. Moreover, many of them do follow my trades, I talk to them when I can, and many have done very well.
This is helpful information. I knew you had a lot of clout just because you show up at Greg Hunter's place alot. I even apologized to him the other day. Ask him about it. he's got me flagged too. ...so trust me, he'll remember me. :-) I complimented GH for finally bringing on some guests who aren't shameless precious metal pumpers. He's getting some "variety" now. Marty Armstorng? A couple of others...all saying the goldbugs are making a golden mistake. This guy he had on last week has got it "almost" spot on.
Pollock is so right I listened to it like twice I think. That's alot for me. If you can get in a plug for my Tessie diet the next time you are at Greg's show I would appreciate that. I'm just trying to get her down to "wrestling weight" for the ave American male. I'm promising 80 lbs of losses in 30 days for Tessie and I started her on the diet when she was at 385 lbs.

Ask Greg Hunter what he thinks about Tessie. I bet Hunter hates Elon Musk...no? :O
