Alibaba just invested in a US company Zulily. Ticker symbol ZU

So I went to visit Zulily's website. It looks like they want the user to sign up, just to browse Zulily's website. (Why should I give my email address, just to browse) I was going to pick up some shares of Zulily's, but since it's hard to browse the website, scratch that idea.

Yeah, I read the article.  I sell both VIX calls and puts as well as VXX calls and puts.  For my larger VIX calls, I sell way out of the money.....25-35 with stops.  Then I'll also do straddles and strangles.  I did notice a pop in the VIX/VXX around when that trade was made.  One thing that has worked like a charm this year is to sell VIX/VXX puts everytime we are near the times and/or when the VIX/VXX takes a dump because the VIX will only go so low before it bounces (think of it like a rubber band....if it gets stretched too much one way or another it will snap back to the norm). 
 
here is my trade of the day: purchased SDS at 20.46. SDS is an inverse leveraged ETF, so S&P 500 goes down 1%, i make 2%. S&P 500 has been trading between 1900 and 2100 for 2015, today it closed at 2099 so will ride this down into the 1900's and get out. then ill probably by SSO when i exit SDS, SSO does the opposite of SDS.
 
I am all in on oil.. specifically SDRL. built up a decent position with an avg of $14.
also Jan '16 and '17 $20 calls

I think oil has bottomed.

If that's the case, this bodes well for my VIX/VXX trading.  :D

Might as well buy SPXS / SPXL.  It's triple leveraged for 50% more profit than the tickers mentioned above...

yup bought AAPL at $125.5 and INTC @ $32.5 yesterday and it has offset my gamble with AAPL @ $130 and TWTR @ $39.4 the day earlier.

I am waiting for COST to drop and get in. I want to buy COST since 2011 but never pulled the trigger...

Time to get some COST?
 
got some COST at $142.8 yesterday and it is down 1% today...perhaps I will increase my position if it hits $140, which seems like a good technical resistance line.

Not sure why COST is down, maybe because of the weak resale data? but if the weak resale data indicates the lack of willingness to spend, it should favor Costco; plus Costco gets a lot of its profit from membership fees and its members are extremely loyal; the renewal rate is getting higher year and year.

what drags down Costco stock price are the fallen oil price for their gas sales (which I hope hits the bottom as I have exposures in energy stocks) and a strong dollar (dollar is not as strong as before, perhaps due to improving Europe's economy and US economy is being stalled). Excluding those two factors, underlying fundamentals for Costco remain very strong.

Let's hope I am right.

There might be a delay for GMCR release of the new Kold machine, which will be in competition with Soda Stream. Also, the rumor price of Kold machine is expected to be higher than Sodastream.
