So crunching numbers all weekend and we get this:
1. Current Channel for Market and AMD, same as 2006 pattern;
2. Current Channel not a "blow off top" in terms of the same parabola of 2001; We will retrace just the same.
3. The Current Channel takes AMD right to $51.50, and then the bottom of that Channel is $40;
4. Looking at the options layout it supports this (have exact stats just from memory);
Strong Open Interest (CALLS / PUTS - AMD)
- Jan 17 2020 25, 30, 35, 40, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 50, 55, 60, 65 (YES 65) CALL

... More to come here
5. So it appears that the top of this run may be $51.50, and it looks like from the Options Schedule that it is going to
be before January 17 2020. I am going to crunch some numbers on longer dates and see if the "smart money" is betting on a top later than
end of January 2020.
6. It appears that we then retrace after the end of January (Shorts will be dead by then, and will throw in the towel, this is the top)
7. The bottom of the Channel is $40 for AMD. When we break that, it is over for this rally. Not before.
8. We are initiating the following at Market Open on Monday:
PURCHASE OF 50 / 55/ 60 / 65 January 17 2020 Calls. We also believe that the May and June dated calls for 50 and 60 calls are based on the lower Theta, and then you can still get the upside on the run to $51.50 with the Delta on any of those May of June calls.
PURCHASE OF MAY 50 AND 60 CALL.
PURCHASE OF JUNE 50 CALL.
WE ARE PURCHASING ALL OUT OF THE MONEY STRIKES AND UNLOADING AT $51.50 SHOULD WE MAKE IT.
We are still keeping our Delta Neutral position until the first week in January on our massive position. We are going to use profit to fund all these purchases. The decision has been made above my head.
Have a good Sunday.
