Har, HB are the flavor of the month and one of the best performers of the year so far some have gained 100%. crazy. The huge rate cut helps them tremendously. tough call up here but there are some really good technical setups.

Thank you Nancy, I greatly appreciate it. It took alot longer than I expected hopefully when earnings dies down it won't take so long.
Some VMW puts were over a 5 bagger, and AMZN strangle looks good too. ISRG though could be really interesting.

For options, you would buy out of the money calls and puts for an option strategy and going long volatility. Google "options strangle"-
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...), your basically making a trade that is long on volatility so you believe that the share price will make a large up or down price move from its current price.

VMW getting taken to the woodshed OTM strangle strategy worked great.
