019. PIGGISH PLAY - Short IBM's Mediocre Earnings
Diupdate
IBM is so... so.
What I mean to say is that IBM is the epitome of mediocrity. The stock price ebbs and flows with the zeitgeist of the overall market. Seeing how this stock has paved its way into a well-established, clear downtrend, the play is rather straightforward given the in-line status update last night:
1) When you see yellow flames, they either:
i) diverge into green flames and move to the top trendline, or,
ii) diverge into orange flames --> red flames and down to the bottom trendline
2) Given their unsurprising mediocre report yesterday, I'd bet the farm that its the latter this time around
3) If using equity, enter on the open, set stops and limits according to the chart's annotations
4) If using puts, I recommend entering 120 strikes (10/30 expiration) and holding until ~105-110 for a solid premium flip
Today's market is primed for shorting the mediocre companies because of the fearful/bearish undertone established yesterday.
IBM is just the tip of the average iceberg, yet it will slip and slide just as well.

Might just add tomorrow if I can get in above 15/share.If not, probably best to keep as is.
Not closing this one until it reaches the profit target because the last bit of support could easily collapse this week. Still have a ton of room to run until sub-90.
Trading ditutup: target tercapai
CLosing my puts when the first momentum low appears. This will likely be around 104 if the market doesn't take too long to fill the gap.Equity shorts - feel free to ride it down to the high 80s.
