If its a long term investment I'd advise against it, or at least selling all of it. You know what they say about trying to time the market. Best case scenario - You time it well and make an extra 5-10%. But there's the possibility that the dip never happens and the market continues to go up and...

Today for example I sold a 38 put on SNAP expires 10/30. Few hours after it went from 39 to 42 or about 8%

So if I sell a put on a stock about 2-4% below its strike price, and shortly after or the next day it has a 10% gain, is it worth it rolling the put up or just leave it at the current strike?

Earnings are next week for cruise lines, it's obviously going to be bad news. Question is, is it already priced in or do we expect another dip?

What strike are you putting your new calls at? Are they covered calls or naked? I was thinking if the price is going to drop back down at some point you'd want your shares called away at one of the higher strikes, no?

I loved Guk/Sol/Seb etc way more than anything in WoW. You're grinding through your camps and someone in Ass/Sup calls for help. Either its someone your group hates and you run over and mock them, or its some new people or friends and you run over and save their ass, Either way, it makes it more...

Bought some shares of ETSY after it dropped to 135. Earnings are supposed to be good and while previous earnings didn't see any jumps, previous earnings had large price run ups prior to earnings.

Yeah I'm not too big on their long term growth either, I was just looking at doing some options/puts until the holidays

Whats everyone's take on peloton(PTON)? Was looking at the options and they look quite attractive. OTM premiums starting at 3.0 dollars a share at 132 strike. They're up 500% in one year and the c/p is starting to look bearish, I guess people are assuming its starting to lose its growth. Could...

That looks dangerous if it ends up in the wrong hands...

I think the one way I'll try to temper my active investing is if I can get a better return then simply indexing that also justifies the time investment I put into it, then its worth it. It's also fun and interesting so I don't even mind the time investment as it were. For every story of someone...

Aren't you worried about any of the looming anti trust the FANGs may face?

Im in the process of rolling over a 401k and consolidating stuff over to fidelity, so I guess it can't hurt to hit the pause button for a couple weeks before I reinvest

Obviously it was a joke about having a british accent

Betting on the top 5 and bottom 5 performing stocks generated about 250% gain over 5 years https://www.marketwatch.com/story/buy-the-worst-here-are-5-destroyed-stocks-for-this-bottom-fishing-strategy-11602691910?mod=mw_latestnews

It's a bloodbath for airlines and cruises today, I had some puts on CCL that'll probably be assigned at this rate

This article is butt hurt that the government apparently wants to tell fiduciaries they aren't allowed to sacrifice returns in order to invest in social justice or green funds...

What's a good method for quickly comparing options ROR that you guys use? Right now I'm doing everything manually using active trader pro, going through my watchlist, and putting all the bids/strikes into an excel sheet

All this talk of macaroni and spaghetti pizza makes me wish I had the nuclear codes

Oh, the "asking for a friend", gotcha ;)

Does this story involve you getting drunk and accidentely buying a bunch of metals?

Don't forget to account for elevation from sea level in your steak resting calculations

Those articles are the worst, and they'll literally pivot in the same day. 10:00 am: Stocks down due to weak earnings report! 2:00 pm: Stocks up despite weak earnings report!? I swear, they have a better gig than weathermen and sports casters.

Amen to that, my only complaint so far coming to Florida is the fucking fire ants

Was able to sell my PLTR today at 10.40, had gotten in at 10. Took the money and sold a covered put at the november 10$ strike. I figure worst case scenario I get the stock back at my original buy in with my 4% gain and the 1.5$ premium per share.

Which strike price are you going to go with?

@Sanrith Descartes @Blazin Do ya'll sell any in the money puts or do you do out the money, or a combination depending on which contracts/bids/volume are available and your feeling on the stock?

So million dollar question, buy now, or see if the bloodbath continues tomorrow? Probably see more selling tomorrow and in futures tonight since the trading day is almost over

What's everyone's take on docusign? Dropped from 260 to 190 in the september slump, back up to 225. Some big names still giving it a 260 price target, and with covid still around, it still can scoop up some business.

I was reading back through this thread over the weekend, specifically about options. @Blazin, you mentioned you focus on selling puts. I was reading on strategies around that and was just curious on if you'd share yours? What I gather is you collect premiums on stocks that you think are long...

They're on to you man, you're being tracked. Time to go underground

You know which area you're moving to?

Every year I've maxed my roth IRA and 401k, and then put any extra money in a regular brokerage account. If what I'm reading is correct, and I wanted to experiment with some active trading, there's really no downside to trading in my roth as opposed to my brokerage account?

We were using a tree to hold our target one time, hit the tree plenty of times and none of the arrows broke, they either stuck, deflected, or bounced out. That was with a mix of 25lb and 40lb recurve shooting with blunt points.

Yeah, I meant trading daily. Have some free time and money on my hands that I'd like to put towards generating some extra income. Thanks for the info guys

For more active trading, what are the pro/cons of fidelity vs ameritrade? I've read good things about both

Looking at the last month, there were at least three dips followed by a 5%+ gain, so looks like a good strategy. Hardest part as always will be timing the bottom, but more opportunities increases your chances.

My limit at 10 didn't execute either

So as far as palantir, are people viewing it as a long term hold or something they'll be able to make some short term profit on due to volatility in the initial offering, or a little of both?
