    • Will Erlandson: I didn't like to see it give up most of the prior day's candle, but that was a large move over a short period so a little cyclicality is ok.

        $LF pulls an $LF; beats, but sandbags guidance so that they can beat again next time.

        • Will Erlandson: Held. No premium to be had in selling options, and it's at the low end of the recent range. My assumption from here is up.

            $LF Closed my eyes and added a 15% stake to my LF position @ 8.62.

                $LF Best guess on the selloff today is traders looking to avoid the dip that happend after last earnings. My strategy: Close eyes, hold on.

                    $LF holding above 89 day MA at 8.70. Added as planned, fill at 8.82. If we remain above that average, expect earnings ramp to continue.

                        As predicted, $LF moved above the 89 day MA; up 12% since Monday's buy. Will add above 8.70 tomorrow afternoon ahead of earnings on May 2.

                            $APP options illiquid and wide, but since I wouldn't mind owning the stock at a likely discount, sold AUG 2.5 Puts for $.65.

                                The 4.75% upmove in $LF today is likely to see a continuation tomorrow. More importantly, we're a dime away from the 89 day MA.

                                    On MAR 4 I said I'd look to re-enter $LF in the 7 handle. Taking $MAT as a tell, I put an order in for 1/3 of a position @ 8.

                                        Well that was a pleasant surprise. My platform didn't have $APP scheduled to report until 3/13. $.04 actual vs. $-.02 estimated.

                                            Closing order in for my $LF for a small gain (thank you short calls). Stock has remained below the 89 day, and I can better use the $.

                                                89 day MA on $LF is 8.69. A close below could be bearish for the stock. My amateur best guess for a next support level is 8.51.

                                                            Added to $LF today at 8.75, and rolled some of my short calls to 7.50 just in case. 89 day MA held up again; bounce likely.
