- texgecko: $EFX coming out of a squeeze that narrowed to about 5% after going sideways for two months. Remember, EXF knows more about your financials than you know about theirs.

Forexpro: Re; $EFX
Hi, Friends,
There don't appear to have been any recent mentions of this ticker in the Forum, but WSJ.com reports that it was passing out millions of credit scores with inaccurate numbers. Mortgages, autos, credit cards. $JPM, $WFC and $AL ... - DAN: $SWI -- Any aggressive traders might want to consider a snapback on $SWI after the big selloff that was triggered because of a big hack that essentially made their software a cyber joke. I wonder if their head of security came from Equifax ($EFX), the company headed by Richard Smith that allowed your data to be seen by anyone. If I recall correctly, the expert in charge of their security had a degree in music...maybe even music composition...which is a lot like cyber security, only not. Even the biggest pigs will bounce at some point, and this could be the day for $SWI. Just a thought. Nothing more. Dan
- Jim88: @DAN $SWI $EFX - Alright, I'm game. Feb 17.5/10 Bull Put Spread for $1.95 Premium. Maybe not really playing the snap back, but BE at around $15

- Kharrison67: $CDW is trying to get the MA's in order, which another move tomorrow they will be close. Weekly chart squeezing and my scan picked it up last week. Other stocks my scan picked up $SNBR $ORCL $A $EDU $TREE $EFX $MED $AON $AMGN I will post Fridays which stocks I will be watching for the next week. It looks like some take a week or so to get moving. Stay tuned if you choose to.
- Orange-Green: @Kharrison67 $CDW $SNBR $ORCL $A $EDU $TREE $EFX $MED $AON $AMGN Love the trading ideas your sharing! Keep them coming lol
- Trader_X: @Kharrison67 $CDW $SNBR $ORCL $A $EDU $TREE $EFX $MED $AON $AMGN Thanks for the stocks, I like the SNBR and A, others may be extended. what kind of scan do you use?
- Kharrison67: @Trader_X $CDW $SNBR $ORCL $A $EDU $TREE $EFX $MED $AON $AMGN they are extended now, but not when they showed up on the scan. @DrScience created it for me.
- Kharrison67: $PII, $DECK, $DXCM $EFX $QRVO $SNBR $TPX working their way in the squeeze, some looking low, some looking high and some have no idea.
- Kharrison67: $EFX I like the squeeze, break to the top of the BB then looks like a break then test of the 50 between Friday and today. Looking for the breakout this week
- Kharrison67: Is anyone watching $EFX squeezing and moving above the 50day
- Kharrison67: Watching $SNBR, $EFX and $CDW next week from my scan Last week was $A which is doing just like I expected, but expecting more next week from a breakout of the squeeze

- JBed: @bRobert $LNC $HIG $MET $AIG $EFX (although not an insurer) is another one I've been in for some time. Unlike $FB, the huge data-breach fine does not seem to have hurt the company one bit.
- shoredriver: $EFX @DAN...Blast from the past (and one of Dandy's old rants.)....To pay up to 700m fine for data breach in'17.....
- DAN: @shoredriver $EFX LOL. Yep, and Rick Smith got to keep his $90 million after he retired. Hired a music major who wrote songs to be the head of IT for a company that was in the business of gathering personal information on...well, on everybody. Truly outstanding. ;-)
- traderbren: @DAN $EFX - LOL...sooo on the money! I couldn't have said it better.
- DAN: @traderbren $EFX The stupidity really was breathtaking. I remember thinking, "Does this company even have a board of directors? If so, it's obviously the typical thing where a bunch of connected people collect a nice stipend from the company. They attend board meetings, drink coffee and eat bagels, and make no real decisions.
- shoredriver: @DAN $EFX ...Could be said for 50% plus of the boards as far as I can tell.....
- efrain007: $EFX looks to be popping out of flag
- DAN: Good morning. The futures are pointing to a higher open this morning after a pretty nasty start to September. Friday's employment data was solid, yet the market still closed lower on the day, and lower on the week. That was the bad news, which rea ...
- vfr777: $EFX breaking resistance. nh
- DrScience: $EFX blowing out of a volatility squeeze, up 5% off the 200 DMA. JUL 125 Calls active. I'd say looks like premium sellers at work, but these trades went off on the ask -- with a .35 spread!

A lot has been swept under the rug, just we've witnessed with $EFX (which was more egregious than $FB in my opinion). Had Zuck come out within 24-hrs of the incident, I don't think the media ...

- cmaxwel1: @DAN $FB $EFX (added $FB at 166). Stop 3% below
- antfarm: $FB $EFX Remember Equifax? They had by far a more serious data breach that no one volunteered for. It closed just under the 200dma having come off its low of about 6 months ago. $FB will recover once all the talking heads get done wailing and growling for the cameras. Just MHO. No position in either.

- Iceman: $EFX #ShortPuts - Bought to close 1 EFX Apr 20 2018 60.0 Put @ 0.05. It won't trade any lower and doesn't expire for more than 4 months. Originally sold on 9/13/17 at 2.00 during the crash caused by their data breach. A fairly obvious #FallingKnife trade and the stock actually held at 90 before rebounding.
- Iceman: $EFX #ShortPuts – Bought to close EFX Jan 19 2018 60.0 Puts @ 0.05. They don’t expire until next year. Originally sold on 09/14/2017 at 1.90 as a #FallingKnife trade.
- Junior1: @champ $GE When you figure this out, let me know. I have the same question about $EFX. How is this holding up, above 100 no less!?!?
- champ: @Junior1 $EFX --- Has earnings power and targets was raised to $114 at RBC Capital Markets and a hold at Stifel with a target at $115...and a new position for Heritage Group, 480,000 new shares, was reported today 11/13.... and thats the news, just from today. No way, would I ever even think about buying this stock.

Forexpro: @GOOSE $EFX #Earnings
Hey, Goose,
Well, that would be the impolite way to put it. Implied vol, as you'd imagine, has moved quite a bit higher, even from yesterday. The at the money implied for Friday's expiry is around 140 percent, dropping to 65 ... - GOOSE: @Forexpro $EFX #Earnings That really helped Amigo. Much appreciated. GOOSE

- GOOSE: $EFX Dodged the bullet. Stock is down a little after earnings report. Was up 1.30 AH, 10 minutes ago. ;>)
- Junior1:
- DAN: @Junior1 $EFX $NVDA Boom! Short Iron Condor just before the close, when premium was extra primo expensive. As long as it stays between 185 and 230, we're happy. If it moves up above $210 but stays below $225, we're VERY happy.
- GOOSE: $EFX Going down AH. OK with me, as long as it holds 104.0 till 4 PM tomorrow.

- GOOSE: @Junior1 $EFX OK and thank you. Wondering why IV is so elevated. I'll have to maybe unwind some stuff tomorrow. Thanks again @Junior1. GOOSE
- Junior1: @GOOSE $EFX Actually, I expected the IV to be much higher. Straddle atm is less than $4.No position
- Lynda: @Junior1 $EFX 11/22 @4:15pm
- GOOSE: @Lynda $EFX Lynda, are you saying that they are going to report earnings Nov 22???
- GOOSE: @Junior1 $SNAP OOOPS, I was to quick to reply. I thought you were referring to $EFX.
- DavidM: @GOOSE $EFX Looks like they are not telling anyone.
- DavidM: @GOOSE $EFX Looks like they decided to let everyone know at 3:40 PM today. ATLANTA , Nov. 8, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Equifax Inc. (NYSE: EFX) will release its financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2017 , in a press release to be issued on Thursday, November 9, 2017 .

- DAN: @GOOSE $EFX Gotta wonder what their management is going to say tomorrow. If it weren't so tragic, the massive data breach would be funny -- a cyber-episode of the Keystone Cops.

Bridget: ...
$EFX - rolling over and likely to go lower into earnings on 11/1
$LITE - phase 2
$SQ $PYPL - no pullback on today’s market weakness
- Mpower27: @GOOSE $PCG looking at that chart makes me think it's trying to do its own $efx impersonation.
- GOOSE: #$EFX Saw in this morning's newspaper that Congress is trying to make the IRS cancel contracts with $EFX. AH yesterday, $TRU was up a little. Just sayin'.
- issues: @GOOSE $EFX So EFX may be a good short RHRN?? Target $90. $CNC may also be a short candidate since the trend is broken.
- Mpower27: @issues $EFX $CNC based off just the IRS contract I'd guess no. It's only worth about $7 million
- michaelH: $EFX closing out my EFX short; not dropping as expected
- GOOSE: $EFX Takes down Web Page after new hack.
- michaelH: $efx shorted at 107.98. buy stop at at 114.80, just above recent high
- traderbren: @GOOSE $EFX - yikes! Just so typical!
- genki: $EFX Anyone short it here?
- traderbren: @genki $EFX - I considered it when the latest news hit the wires, but then saw it bounce. Go figure. This company has more holes in their security than a sieve and yet their stock goes up. NP.
- GOOSE: @traderbren $EFX Yep! Have a great day. I wouldn't short it though. Seems to have a following.
- genki: @genki $EFX It's at support/resistance now. It feels it wants to go lower.
- GOOSE: $EFX $TRU @Junior1 What you said about $EFX, seems to be true about $TRU too, about hitting resistance. ;>)

Gary: ...
15. $TRU – competitor of $EFX. I have no edge in this. It’s run more than 25% after the $41 bottom. Back at top of trend…but risk of big profit-taking is an issue.
16. $LIT – popular ETF now. Looks like a topping pattern ... - GOOSE: $EFX HOD
- Junior1: @GOOSE $EFX Resistance @113.55 for some odd reason
- GOOSE: @Junior1 $EFX Yah, don't know why though. I like to play it though. Good luck.
- Ottawagreg: $SYMC Is down 3.5% today. I took a medium sized position when the $EFX torpedo hit the fan. I am holding out for the ER season. DAN, do you still think this stock is going to the moon after the coming ER cycle is through? Hold this through the ER for Q3? thank you
- rah: @CHOFF $SYMC - sorry about the loss, hopefully not too much. I actually believe this one may present an interesting earnings report next month. But - it wasn't making me money now, it was not an investment. I made some on $EFX short. Now that I think about it, I was holding LOCK when $SYMC bought it last year. So - I hold no hard feelings.
- Junior1: $EFX Buy volume decreased over the last 3 days, today is showing a bearish engulfing candle, light volume. Along with $XLF stocks, this looks like a short set up. NP. Yet!
- spmeyers: @Junior1 $EFX $XLF watching also
- GOOSE: OPTION EXPIRATION, 10/6/17 $AA 46.5 COVERED CALLS STOCK ASSIGNED $AA 48.0 COVERED CALLS EXPIRED $AA 43.5 PUTS EXPIRED $EFX 105 COVERED CALLS STOCK ASSIGNED Have a great and safe weekend everyone. :>)
- traderbren: $EFX - moving higher again. Interesting to note that Marisa Meyer (former CEO at $YHOO) didn't get raked over the coals for the huge data breach under her watch, plus she got paid handsomely for driving the company down the tubes!
- Iceman: $EFX #ShortPuts – Bought to close 1 EFX Oct 20 2017 75.0 Put @ 0.05. It won’t trade any lower. Sold this not that long ago. #FallingKnife trade.
- GOOSE: $EFX Moving nicely. FD I have a covered call.
- traderbren: $EFX -- getting a bid since this morning's hearings.
- Junior1: @champ $HA I thought the same thing when I shorted $EFX on day 1. "This can't be the right trade, it's too obvious" But that worked out very well!
- champ: @Junior1 $HA $EFX --- Great...Good Work!
