Does one necessarily want to be stopped out by general market swings? This is something I'm struggling with. I feel like I don't want to get out of a losing position just because the market itself is tanking, if I feel the stock itself has nothing fundamentally wrong with it. For example...

Someone explain why the markets are freaking out. Is it all about the interest rate hikes?

Haha....I didn't realize it at the time, but my PS4 controller's L2 button was sticking slightly.

Yeah because I bought calls yesterday. Someone explain to me why inflation data would affect Microsoft?

Probably jinxing myself, but my Jan 145 WMT calls looking good. I felt this stock was way oversold and looked to be trading in a well defined channel. Bought the calls when it bounced off support around 135.

I'll buy some Call options tomorrow. Prepare for it to crash.

I was surprised at how much Red Letter loved this. I finished this last week and thought it was okay at best. The MONOLOGUES! didn't bother me except for the final one where Erin went on and on and on. I think what bugged me about this show was that it seemed like it blatantly copied elements...

Wonder if this is what happening to crypto? TPTB are liquidating crypto assets to cover margin calls?

Not clear on why they're down so much.

End of Woke?

Yeah I held onto some option contracts that are definitely going to expire worthless now. We got 2 weeks to turn this shit around.

Are you using ThinkOrSwim? I look at the "break even price" to get a feel if the option price is out of whack. I watch this YouTuber day trader and he constantly talks about option premiums being too high or a "good deal". I still don't quite understand the metrics he's using to base that...

Option premiums aren't entirely tied to the underlying symbol's price. You have to look at the impl volatility. I'm not touching options right now until the market has a defined trajectory.

Nah, dude. You're living like 10-15 years ago with that Torrent crap. SabNZBD, Sonarr + Plex is pretty much fire and forget. Yes, there's a tiny bit of set up but it's not difficult. No need for VPNs or shit like that.

I enjoyed this, but I found myself really disliking Vi.

With inflation at 6+% not sure if that deserves bragging rights.

Being a Babbage's manager gave me the privilege to take games home. Consoles too, although we weren't supposed to check out hardware. But I became a master of re-wrapping stuff so no one could tell it had been opened. Fun fact: early days of Babbage's they allowed customers to return anything...

I worked as a manager at Babbage's during the 90s. I remember the 3DO retailing for $699. This was what? 1993? Freaking insane.

I was super addicted to Street Fighter II style games. I bought a NeoGeo and nearly every fighting game that was released for it. God, I wasted so much money. BUT Samurai Shodown II is the best 2D fighter ever created. As far as the 80s, I had an Atari 2600, Coleco Vision, and instead of the...

With inflation numbers continuing to "shock" people, I'm surprised that gold, silver, and crypto hasn't seen more of a bump.

wonder how to play this. Was thinking of buying some January DIA, SPY, and QQQ call options. This seems like an overreaction.

What's going on? Not seeing any news. Edit: it's because of the new "variant".

Yeah WTF

I'm having a difficult time formulating a consistent strategy for when to cash out on a position. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm trying to gauge when to exit a position based off of technical analysis -- where I think the stock price might move to. But as I discovered over the past...

TradingView is having an up to 60% off sale. Worth it?

Portfolio went from very exciting gains this morning to WTF happened.

A week or two ago I had bought an AAPL dec 17 160 call @ $1.60 and HD dec 17 410 call @ $3.15. These are up nicely. I want to let these run as long as possible. From my limited TA abilities, it looks like AAPL has now broken out of an upward channel, reached all-time highs. So, I'm not sure...

Usenet, fool.

Is anyone else now concerned over Kyle's safety?

Gotta slip in that gay shit.

Man, that dude completely disappeared.

Anyone have experience with sick cats? Mine suddenly is barely eating and is sleeping all day. First time he's acting this way. No visible injuries or anything. No vomiting or diarrhea as far as I know (he's mostly an outdoor cat but has been in the house all day). One odd behavior prior...

How is this at 4 stars? It's been universally panned.

With the inflation numbers today I would've expected a pop in crypto. The metals did.

I mean, the most I could've lost was the premium.

445%

Got totally lucky with AMD. I had bought a Dec 17 $135 call a couple weeks back and just sold when AMD hit $150 a moment ago.

Anyone here use the desktop ThinkOrSwim? If so, do you have problems with the chart scaling getting screwed up as you switch between different time frames? Really gd annoying, but maybe I'm missing something.

Okay, for all you guys expecting a crash real soon now, tell me where you think we are on this chart:
