Depends on your hold period. I think 300$ is fine if you are looking at 2-3+ years. I don't tend to hold individual names that long, only index's.

fair point. But as a counter look at all the car or robotics companies in the world. Who do you see winning this race? I think TSLA has the best chance out of all currently available options. Of course some new company could pop up but I don’t see any of the slow moving giant blue chips being as...

Does anyone have opinions on upcoming TSLA earnings? The evidence I have is that it will cause a drop, potentially moderate. The market in general is bearish, TSLA is starting a bearish MA stack, they are under delivering on cars, orders are down y/y, they arr experiencing some tariffs supply...

‘for sure it was a 100% gamble. I’ll keep it to the shitposting thread.

I did protect myself a bit, but my 9k bet will probably be a 4-5k loss :( Ahh well, I did almost no research on this one. It was a complete gamble that they felt the same pain the overall market sentiment is expressing, i was wrong. I usually do way more research and deserve what I got(or didnt...

lol, my 9k NFLX bet got smoked. Should have gone the other way

Yea, probably should have held! I do take big risks sometimes(like my SOFI failure on earnings) but I don't know enough about UNH and I was already up over 10% so I got nervous. I mean....I had a damn 592P on it!, which I sold @ 18$ and it's now worth over 100$ I literally missed about 300k in...

I'm not sure I want them to at the moment. :) The volatility in this market has been great for swing trades. Of course I'm biased because I've maybe had the best 2 months I've ever had....also had more time to monitor things/research due to life reasons. That will stop in mid-May when I'm...

I did AVGO puts today, and if the aftermarket down shift holds I may have made close to 50%…..will update sometimes tomorrow! Edit: Almost exactly 50%! I really wish I knew how to let this stuff ride better(if it could have). I guess that's why I'll never be the WSB dude who bet 10k and...

As per my edit above, I bitched out lol. The 15$ drop today net me about 9.3% on the put position I had, so no complaints. I didn't want to risk a real gain for a pipe-dream. Obviously if the earnings did shoot it up my position would go to 0$ overnight, not worth it. I took out a new put on...

Those UNH puts are doing well today. While I have become better at dumping losers I am still torn on how to let winners run(safely). Granted I play options so in general holding is not a fantastic idea, but trailing stops are useless with some options due to the spread, liquidity, and the...

depends on the option ;)

So @Sanrith Descartes will laugh at me and I may eat crow, but I bought some puts on UNH today. The thing has rallied insanely for 4 days in a row, is way overbought and above all reasonable technical indicators. I am not claiming I think the stock is a bad long term investment or is doomed...

This is a burst up no doubt, but I don't see a full recovery yet. There are still a lot of signs that a bear market may be incoming so we are not out of the woods yet. Anyone have a long calls that went up 200% in 30 seconds? lol

Yes, but unless you use a straddle, guessing the wrong direction can also mean a 100% loss because when a stock tweaks on earnings it tends to tweak hard and remain in it’s new spot a bit(especially on down tweaks).

Can also confirm I flew yesterday and airports were still using it as excuse. I’ve never seen lines that long *inside* security for the help desk. Some people had been there 1-2 days tempers were high

I forgot to update! i closed the Netflix spread at full profit! Almost 22% for 2ish weeks. I’ll post screenshot once I am back at the PC RKLB is still up, but down from the 40% gains to 25%. This is where I struggle with reading strategy and having a “plan”. My “plan” with this particular...

If you are holding that long I don’t think it matters. it matters when you want to absolutely insure long vs. short gains or selling for profit vs loss on selling only some shares during a price rise, etc.

Easy to make fun and time will tell if he holds that rate until end of the year or even year over year, but if he does 70% a year is something I think any of us would be ok with. when I had little money making 15% of 1000$ felt like it almost wasn’t worth the effort but was doable on many...

Great job! Hope to make a similar post one day and if I can I’ll share my strategy

Interesting, thanks for the legit reply. I would absolutely love to see a consolidation post at the end of the year from you. Could be a real motivator for many here.

@Araysar Questions.... I thought I read one of your posts that said you want to make 1% a day. Did I actually read that?(too lazy to scroll through posting history). If so is it 1% of whatever you trade, 1% of some amount you play with, 1% of entire portfolio? Ignoring the long term complexity...

This is the only MMO I actually watch(most) of the cutscenes for. You can just do the MSQ and then use the side quests to go back and level another class later.

That RKLB call is now up 40%......very temping to walk away but it's a January call! I don't want to put a trail on it because the price movement is sporadic and small so unless the trail is huge it is likely to get hit by a less than dollar move on the underlying :( I've made this stupid...

One thing I struggle(d) with is scale. This is not brag mode, but one of the reasons I only make 1-2 trades a week and generally don't keep more than 5 positions active(outside of my 'safety' of FBTC and SPY) is that I have a regular job and cannot dedicate myself full time to trading. Anyway...

Well....DDOG closed extremely fast and indeed produced the roughly 10% gain!

The long on RKLB is already up 6%, considering the expiry I may let this one run a bit. I'll keep people in the loop without trying to turn the thread into a personal blog. If it hits 15%+ I will absolutely put a stop loss on it or sell enough to profit and let the rest run. This is one of those...

I believe they would be taxed as regular old w2 income of Their value on the day you receive them. If you hold the shares and sell a year later you can pay long term capital gains instead of short, but you are on the hook for their value right now when you get them either way. Whatever the...

Which channel or app can I see this?

What program are you using to show the order book/depth of market right on the standard chart like that? Edit: nvm, see the BookMap logo now in the top right, thanks

Fuck dude, spoiler that shit

Im not sure I agree that it outdated, but you do raise a fantastic point about many battles simply do not allow for side/back. Maybe it is like you said where ignores positional attack requirements for those fights. But if you are going to have stuff like that, you can’t gimp it in a significant...

I have some shares as well, 500 @ 3.92$, so I am up 20%+ there, but that's 400$ (only 2k to get the 500 shares) so I am just letting them ride. I did not buy enough shares to ever produce anything great financially. I would sell some risky CC on them but the volatility is extremely low so there...

I said I would post my trades in case people care, I know this board is big on putting money where our mouth is, etc.... Anyway two small plays now: 1.) A long on RKLB: Plan here is to sell far before expiration if I can get a small movement back up. Even a +0.20 move would be more than 10%...

Not saying it doesn’t have dips, but your chart there is over 5-6 days. I don’t play the short term timing game….im just not good at it and I know my skill level And risk tolerance. when it comes to trading I try to look for things about to pivot based on technicals. I’ll post my next trade...

Sadly I already got in and out of NVIDIA and now I’m too afraid to get back in. even with a brand name stock that has good history I get nervous about buying anything on its 52 week high, never mind lifetime high. its possible I miss out on a continued 30% rally, but there are plenty of ways to...

I have zero desire to watch 6 hours of fucking twitch…. i saw it said no background but if i make it my main tab on an iPad or something and just plop it down in my desk that should count, right?

I just got my code. Now to decide if I take a day off or not :o not sure if I mean from work or wife, but I’ll figure that out

I am not as experienced or articulate as our resident god Blazin, but I also have about 50k in SPY puts for near year end. I had posted about I before as part of my scanners which reported extremely high transition on the C:P ratio on SPY. I failed in my post, but I was trying to say I think...

correct, it can be slow depending on gear but mostly just solo the normal ones. If you make a PF group you can sometimes find people that will join, but it is tough. I never did the hard modes for that very reason. there is a lot of content in the game like this, where people don’t know about...
