    Midnight Mass

    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?

    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.

    8-Bit Christmas (2021)

    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.

    8-Bit Christmas (2021)

    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.

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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.

    Well, my first foray into option trading has turned out pretty well (so far). Bought late December calls for F, AMD, VTI, and IWM. Up about a couple grand off a pretty modest investment.

    Is there some general rule of thumb on how to evaluate the premium of a call or put option? As in, is it overpriced, underpriced, or just right?

    I bought 100 bucks worth about a month ago. I honestly don't care. If it goes up then great. Didn't expect anything anyways.
