I must confess, when the market spends the entire month of October racing higher to levels never before seen in human history, and at valuations that are absolutely comic, I take a pass on patterns that, while tantalizing, still scare me too much to pursue. What a shame. Here are a couple that slipped by grasp: Twilio Inc (NYSE:TWLO):

World Wrestling Entertainment (NYSE:WWE), the go-to venue for the world’s tackiest people:

After I wrote this post, with the above two charts, I saw there was more interesting action happening. So here’s a THIRD one that got away: Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET). I have a decent excuse for this one, however. I tried to enter a vertical spread, but the bid/ask was simply preposterous. I suppose the options on this must be incredibly thinly traded. So I did nothing. (Fun fact: Prophet’s investor, Andy Bechtolsheim, was the founder of this company too)

Also of interest is Pinterest (NYSE:PINS), which is getting slammed to the lowest prices in history (my GOD that feels nice to type, since I’ve had to type the opposite so often lately). This has been another absolute disaster of a unicorn IPO. Total track wreck. I suspect it won’t exist in three years, or it’ll just grind around at a couple of bucks like Zynga and join the living dead.

  •            Enrich the conversation, don’t trash it.

  •           Stay focused and on track. Only post material that’s relevant to the topic being discussed. 

  •           Be respectful. Even negative opinions can be framed positively and diplomatically. Avoid profanity, slander or personal attacks directed at an author or another user. Racism, sexism and other forms of discrimination will not be tolerated.

  • Use standard writing style. Include punctuation and upper and lower cases. Comments that are written in all caps and contain excessive use of symbols will be removed.
  • NOTE: Spam and/or promotional messages and comments containing links will be removed. Phone numbers, email addresses, links to personal or business websites, Skype/Telegram/WhatsApp etc. addresses (including links to groups) will also be removed; self-promotional material or business-related solicitations or PR (ie, contact me for signals/advice etc.), and/or any other comment that contains personal contact specifcs or advertising will be removed as well. In addition, any of the above-mentioned violations may result in suspension of your account.
  • Doxxing. We do not allow any sharing of private or personal contact or other information about any individual or organization. This will result in immediate suspension of the commentor and his or her account.
  • Don’t monopolize the conversation. We appreciate passion and conviction, but we also strongly believe in giving everyone a chance to air their point of view. Therefore, in addition to civil interaction, we expect commenters to offer their opinions succinctly and thoughtfully, but not so repeatedly that others are annoyed or offended.
