You were way out of the money to start, which means the entire bet is time essentially. So every minute is less of that. these kind of bets can print serious cash if the premise is correct or random luck. Hence your 75 was worth 750 at one point. 10x in under a day! now imagine you bet 5k, or...

You should be able to after/early hours trade on any platform. You may need to apply though. Fidelity for instance makes you specifically ask for it. That could have saved you. SPX are one of the few options you can trade outside normal hours

It was also pretty balls 6035$ strike for 1 day away when our close was what....5900ish? You were counting on either a god move over night or the next day and it looks like you didn't have a good exit strategy. Being up 10x is pretty awesome and no where in the rise did you think bail? Most...

As Tmac said above, investopedia is awesome if you like reading style learning with examples. They leave out all of "this is a good sign to buy" and just stick to facts with some minor references to potential implications. They also have pages on everything you can think of down to the smallest...

Some interesting numbers released. Most are near estimate/consensus. Jobless stuff a bit higher than expected but not in a crazy way. The one that caught me off-guard was the corporate profits were way down from the forecast. There are probably thousands of factors with a metric like this and...

This is my concern with bitcoin, while I understand the dollar loses value, why would I buy so,ething with bitcoin when within 3 months the value will fluctuate 20%? It only works as a currency if other money goes away, which it clearly will not anytime soon. So at best it’s a hedge, like gold...

Appreciate the heads up from other thread, I started watching it too. I think this one has some good long term potential(6-12m) as well.

Up again in the afterhours all over. This thread has been so wonderful to learn from. Markets do market things. I stopped trying to pick winners and losers. I either flat out gamble or play technical charts.

I don't know much about META outside of facebook/instagram/whatsapp ownership. Are they trying to be like Apple with the cool hipster stores? What physical products do they even sell?

And thus one of the great strengths and weaknesses of BTC. the government will never be on board because they cannot just print more BTC to cover their shit budget habits, but also a reason people love it, it or something like it may be the only way to stop the current nonsense. If the...

We look to be having a strong finish today with no end of day sell-off! It may be nothing but a race to our previous ATH now as there is not much resistance until over 600$ I know we cannot read into a single metric too much, but it blows my mind that the C to P ratio is still 1:1.2, daily and...

Great point, but it's not the sole metric I use. I trade on technicals(BB/MA's/RSI/MACD/ATR) but I pick my stocks either because the company is either around and solid(will continue to be around barring a major world impact) or has the potential to grow. I am always on the hunt for the PCT's of...

set a sell order now then and look away. My forever bag hold is "Go Pro"(GPRO). I bought it when I first started investing, loved the company, bought all of their products, etc. It's now under a dollar and I have about 10k invested that is now worth poop. I keep it in my account now because I...

lol If you are serious I'd sell a call or set a limit sale now. Otherwise you'll be tempted to "watch it rise a bit more if it gets over your cost. You can also set a conditional, if over by 10cents, set a 5 cents trailing stop. Chances are with that tight of a window it will get executed...

I am not trading much at the moment beyond some long term hold and my little SPY snipes that I do for 2-5% when I have the ability to trade that day(lower recently as I am traveling for work)

Interestingly a lot of strange little things in my watch list are approaching 52w highs. Which is when I start getting nervous as I'd prefer not to buy things at the top(though the top is rarely the top for long). While the 200MA did officially cross above the 100MA, it's just barely there and...

‘Teen’ killed…… #whocoulditbenowgif

I stopped selling CC on My fidelity bitcoin positions(FBTC/BITO) in fear of having them called during a sudden rush. Easily my biggest long term gains on buy + hold positions over last 2 years by an asinine margin.

I sold my TSLA puts for 8%.....it drops another 8$ a few minutes later, could have more than doubled my money. #fail Trailing stops have increased my % of wins big time, but I miss the big ones I used to catch.....*way* less losses though as I used to get caught bag holding trying to outlast...

Thanks, didn't even know about autoskill! I noticed with my pet classes the pet attack only sends whatever pet I'm looking at in my pet window now instead of multiple. Was that a change as well?

Sorry for super dumb questions in advance, but I made another toon to play around with and I need bard help..... I am BRD/MNK/ROG....laugh away, I like trying funny shit What is spawning all the little rabbits? I can't find an AA or anything that claims to do that How many beneficial bard...

It's gambling, but think about it like a % chance of something. Non-Market example: You and I make a bet that man will land on Mars before the year 2100. Or that team X will win the world series in 2030! Well those dates are a long way off and it's entirely possible that those could happen...

I’d set a trailing buy, this thing looks like to got more digging to do

I personally use Options Samurai. I love it actually And happy to provide more info to anyone that wants it or post a more detailed write up, but in short: Like anything don’t trust it 100%, it’s more of an idea generator than gospel it has really good filters and specific stock idea...

2 choices(outside of more challenging plays): Short the stock: means borrow stock, sell it immediately at the current price. Buy it back and return the stock later. You may need certain account level privileges for this depending on your broker, typically margin account is required. Pro/Con...

Bought some CI June calls just slightly oom for June. Figured the rapid health care drop over Trump's noise will fade. Super small bet, 5k. It dropped fast and is outside the BB so I expect at least a slight correction even if the executive order has/gets meat behind it people people always...

You mean you sold them? It should be above that now. If you sold there is a chance it will drop just below either by Friday. It's close but an easy 3 day swing.

Everything is up! Both my KULR and OPTT picks seem to be doing well. Obviously escaped with a loss on TSLA By rolling up and out, still a short position in general. i don’t do this often, but I may go back to the well I had to eat a small loss on with NNE. This is like GameStop 2.0 or something...

I think that will fade. The fed is playing politics with Trump big time. They absolutely hate him. The more core data points that come out the more they will have their hand forced

Elon was part of some talk today(didn't listen to it) so maybe it is that? As always when this stock comes up, I have no idea how it is moving at the rate and direction it is other than just riding the market wave at this point. There is so much hype around all of the long term things they are...

Any fun guesses on CPI? I have a feeling prices are not increasing but rather decreasing. I think we see good numbers and another rip today. T-minus a few minutes my plant was way late, but we did put out good numbers!

When your change your mind every week you can always point back to when you were right!

It would seem someone thinks we topped for a while! Anyway I did have login issues with fidelity today. It may depend on what 2factor you use because I got by the password screen but then it kept cycling after that.

Yep....my TSLA puts got chewed due to some new about tariffs/trade deal and some Chinese battery maker doubling down. Not sure how that helps a car company which does not sell any cars, but whatever. I played - I lost, outside of my chasing the SPY momentum I lost my last 2 :( Some of my longs...

I don’t know about kraken and BTC specifically but spread absolutely changes based on supply and demand. It’s why SPY spreads are penny’s and a random 25-75$ ticker has a bigger spread. This is where market makers help actually.

so auto drive and letting one’s wife drive are….equal?

I’d be interested in learning more, I’ve never really dabbled in the energy or utility sector outside of an occasional oil company play

if you took out the market makers/middle men, wouldn’t that fucking crush liquidity? I guess you could open up to world trading 24/7, which I would be for….

For someone who dabbles….wtf does “tokenize stocks” mean? By definition are they not already ”tokenized” I buy a share and this I own 1 “amc-coin” or “google-coin”…is that not exactly what a share is? about the ONLY thing I can see improving via “tokenizing” stocks is that it would, in theory...

I’m not sure alts deserve love. I get the money making aspect of alts. But I’ve seen maybe 4-5 alt coins that offer non-pumpndump value. They are all shit. I’m not a Bitcoin purist or anything but at least I get the general concept there. But the alt coins, in general are pure garbage
