With 30 minutes left and strong support in the 492 range, I think we should end positive for the day.

For a 492 stock to move a few cents is amazing.  Volume is strong again today.

Monday may be the 500 day.

An amazing week.  Thanks to everyone who’s shared their experience and knowledge here, it’s helped me a great deal. 

And congrats to all of you who made boatloads of money this week.  Couldn’t be happier for you!

Looks like we’ll close above the open, though my charts are flashing from red to green every other second.

And green wins by a nose! Great horse race at the end.

I looked at some stuff in the last 15 minutes or so.

Didn’t see anything that looked like a bargain.

Didn’t see anything I thought merited selling

I guess I am in stand pat land.

If we hit 490, I’m in for a shitload of March 495’s, to leg into a spread.

Option prices are not budging it seems.  No motivated sellers out there.  I can understand why.

Weird, looks like my short puts spiked, but it’s just the bid-ask differential.

Sorry call buyers, but I’m look forward to a nice weekend of theta bleeding.

A small solace for me not buying weeklies.

New closing ATH.  Huh.  How about that.

I’ m getting crazy sold tuesday all my shares @ 468.75 just before the rally starts
Anyone as idea if we can retrach before the next shareholders meeting ?
Because I have a dividend feeling for that event , and I would’t miss the next possible rally
That move cost me almost 10 % in shares numbers at these price .Sad !!!
Thanks for kind answer

Toni, I would ignore all rumors regarding any dividend, and trade your positions as though those rumors did not exist.  Over the long haul you’ll do better than if you tried to maximize based on the unknown.

Thanks Gregg for your kind answer my plan was to buy and hold until 2020
I just try to correct the same mistake I made in late december due the change of the capital gain tax in Italy , I lost some share sold for 395 and bought at 421
Right now I just try to understand wich is the best reentry point to minimize the loss of shares
The big doubt is should we visit the middle high 400 again ( and I mean 460/470) or these level are already gone ,
I like to be a part of the afb and shareholder family , but if I smell the possibility to return with a better entry point I can consider to stay aside for the time we needed to reach it

don’t worry about it..  pick it up when it comes back in to the 50day or the 200day MA.  I’d start with the 50.  But then again, if your crafty you can play around before then..  it depends on your disposition/style/skill level, etc.

Long term can just pick up on the 50 in my opinion.

Those levels are certainly not gone already.  And in my opinion, worrying about whether that is true or not (part fear/part greed) is what causes people to buy much higher than necesary. 

Re-initiating a position just to have a piece is an option, but I wouldn’t buy all in right now.  That’s just my opinion.
