R2S: I'm reducing my exposure by 50%. TWTR is the only stock that doesn't have the best fundies. While I say that it got an upgrade today. With overall market weakness, I cut some size, hoping to buy some once the market is on a better footing.
R2S: Earnings was supposed to be AMC, however, they got leaked closer to 1300. At the point, I had the call spread in place and was waiting to put on the puts. At first, the earnings were unconfirmed and I wasn't sure what to do. Most of the numbers weren't impressive. I had maybe a minute or two to make a decision and I didn't do anything. And they halted the stock. The stock opened close to 40 and my stops got hit.
I'm mad that I didn't do something-- sell the stock, buy a put, something. I didn't anticipate the stock being halted. I should have. In the future, I should start putting up my spreads an hour or two before the day's end to protect myself from such shenanigans. Felt I got robbed today.
