Top Shareholders leaving CRCTop shareholders of CRC have recently reduced there holdings. 1. GoldenTree Asset Management who owns 15,579,032 shares levelled holdings by a large 20.415% decrease 2. Ares Management who holds 14,788,286 shares have recently reduce there holdings by 14.64% What could this mean? --> Well to put it simply it may just be profit taking as Ares bought more shares around $30 --> Minimising positions. It is well known California is turning to green energy and the government is showing for support. --> Stigma has also increased for oil due to media portrayal however the world is not ready to depart from oil so really it could be typically play of talking the talk and not walking the walk.

Selling Naked 16 Delta Strangle in TwitterMorning Options Sellers. Its hard to find good premium these days with the absolute volatility crush this past month, however I like this play in Twitter. Sell the May 21 16-delta strangle in $TWTR for $222 in premium per one-lot. That means selling the 85 CALL and selling the 60 PUT. Delta at position opening here is actually flat to slightly bearish, but starts out with $8.65 dollars a day in theta decay... nice. I still think Twitter is way undervalued and there are so many feature they can add to the platform to draw in more revenue, so I'm actually bullish the stock long term. But until May, I say the price stays within range. Collecting $2.22 in premium means our break-evens on this strangle are $57.78 and $87.22. As this price moves and starts to test either of our strikes, be ready to roll up or roll down the untested side to collect more premium and adjust those break-evens. We'll see how it plays out, but I like the play here with TWTR IV Rank of 40.2 today.

AUD/CAD SHORT TP HIT FOR 65 PIPS!Good Afternoon everyone, from today onwards im going to be posting daily updates on all our positions taken within forexinsightsuk. We haven't been very active recently due to certain set backs. But we/re back for good now. So a very quick update on this weeks trades placed..So our first trade this week has just hit TP1 and we manually closed TP2 to bank some bigger profits. We are currently up 65 PIPS for the one position on AUDCAD. We entered this trade on monday on a 1 day timeframe so therefore this is our reason that things have taken a little longer than usual to come into play. We also had a position on EUR/GBP which was a short position.. we manually closed out of this in a very small loss and we have just entered another short on CHF/JPY. We will update you all on further progress of this pair later once we start moving. Hope everyone is having a great week! Lets get it guys!!

DDOG move into EarningsDDOG is pretty much a stock that runs independent to the overall market. At times it can be manipulated, and vast amount of insider selling happens often. One thing I have noticed with the stock when it comes to insider selling, it is constant but can be somewhat deciphered when looking into the SEC form 4 filings. Most of the insiders use an algorithm based selling strategy. They decide how many shares they want to sell that day and the algorithm triggers trades throughout the trading day. If you look at the filed form 4's, when the algorithm does not trigger enough trades to sell all of the requested shares, it has traditionally meant that the algorithm isn't triggering many strongly sold areas of resistance. Indicating that the stock is showing strength and is likely but not guaranteed to continue to increase in price in the following days. Another thing to look for is amount and timing of the insider selling. -for instance the CFO Agarwal Amit usually sells his shares on Wednesday's, usually second Wednesday of the month in the amount of 22,500 shares. In the past, when he reports selling shares on a day other than Wednesday it usually indicates an upcoming volatility of share price. If he sells more than his 22,500, it may show that insiders are looking to take some additional profit while the stock price is nearing anticipated highs. -additionally the CEO and CTO normally sell their shares the first week of each month, in the same manner. All time highs have also had the tendency to be hit on a Tuesday leading into a Wednesday sell-off. I would be surprised if DDOG doesn't make a run to challenge upper $90's in the near future. A rejection of a bounce back leaves the stock with room to trail down into the low 70's and potentially further into the mid 60's

$SPX - Short Or Long? Range 3706-3818I'm not sure if SPX is going to continue doing what it has been for most of the week as usually the last day of the week can be a turnaround day. SO I've drawn up a lot on this chart that I've hidden but, I'm looking for two thigs to happen and either way I don't think it can go wrong. 1. The day starts at 9:30 a.m NY time and it moves up into the box I have set between 3798.6-3818 at that point I would should as has been the case for the last two days and the price will reach for a low that would be lower than yesterdays low between 3722-3706. 2. Or the the day could start and thE price reach into that low mentioned above 3722-3706 but we see a rebound at the end of the week and long the SPX at this point until it hits the box above around 3798-3818. 3. There is a third option I see less likely but still likely, and that is as the day starts, price reaches just below 3722 before longing just above it's current high 3783 before plummeting further down. I'm waiting til 9:30 to make a better informed decision but I just wanted to put my thoughts out there as the possible scenarios as to what I believe will happen wIth then SPX. I'm leaning toward option 1, but that's just me. Will Update at 9:30 or just post the idea to short or long. And my finger will be ready to press either button on MT4. OANDA:SPX500USD
