- ZMan2: Defense stock $KTOS is up 8% HOD.
- Docoof: $KTOS BIG breakout.
- champ: @Docoof $KTOS...at $15.30, up 11%.......the Move was off of News... from their Space & Missile Defense division.......
- CdrJake: @Docoof $KTOS Kratos Defense & Security Solutions is trading higher on the Nasdaq Wednesday, following news the company completed a successful static test of the Zeus 1 solid rocket motor. The test was conducted at an Aerojet Rocketdyne facility in Camden, Ark. At 12:30 p.m. ET, the company's stock was trading 11.2% higher, at $15.28. Volume at the time topped 1.7 million shares, above the stock's 65-day average volume of 751,569 shares. Kratos said the Zeus 1 is the first of two high-performance 32.5-inch diameter solid rocket motors which were internally developed and funded under the Kratos Zeus Program. The Zeus 2 motor is scheduled for static test later this year.
- CdrJake: $KTOS Exercised my June 16 KTOS 12.5 calls instead of taking small 10% profit, as this has been on a slow break out of handle from cup, with 3 successive higher highs, and higher lows after the move above the down trend line on 3/12. I measured a move to 16-18 range, the calls just expired too early. Pop is welcome today.
- Docoof: @CdrJake $KTOS Very good and instructive post. (3/12 should be 3/13.) Very helpful—Thanks for posting how you viewed the trade.
- Docoof: @CdrJake $KTOS I was looking at it on the weekly, but now I think I may not have understood it. The week starting on 3/13?
- Carver: @CdrJake $KTOS thanks for the analysis on $KTOS. I got in on May 24th. I appreciate your thoughts on upper range. I had forgot about depth of the cup.
- sgiseller: @scottrades $KTOS Stopped out? did 3 bad days in a row break the upward trend?
- scottrades: @sgiseller $KTOS Oh yes, sorry I posted a few days ago, I sold it because it was moving too slow.
-
scottrades: ...
$KTOS Slow mover, but trending up.
That’s what’s on my mind today.
I’m currently long $RMBS $RIOT and $MSTR.
Let’s have a great day!

- scottrades: Good morning Team! $SPY is opening up around the 420 range which is a pretty notable level for anyone who is looking to sell or short this market. I mentioned to Dan last night that isn't also a pretty obvious level so I wouldn't be surprised if it takes a few tries and the short get squeezed, Dan said that could cause a bit of a chase of prices higher. So pretty important to pay attention if you're trading in and out of positions. It's also monthly OPEX day and that could force some re-balancing. If you've been in the market and active this week you should have some cushions built up or have been making some sales into strength to lock in some gains and take the pressure off your account. Currently long: $RMBS $KTOS $RIOT (small) and $ON
