    I read blazin and I even agree with your view and the company vision of TSLA. Heard it many times. I don’t even any personal views on Elon and his stuff but it is undeniable that his association with trump has had an overall negative impact on the brand. Will it recover, absolutely, how long...

    Not a huge deal since they own everything. But black rock disclosed a 1.3million position of OPTT yesterday with the SEC. An increase in their position size of over 350% for the quarter.

    please 100% do not listen to me. I have picked some winners but ive also dumped 10k into a Netflix/SoFi earnings and lost. I try to always be honest about when I’m doing a total Hail Mary gamble and when I think I have a chance. RXRX was a huge winner for me, OPK was not. I’m still holding that...

    Agree on all of the technicals, but most of the macro economic news is actually good, which makes me think we may keep crawl up(with swings of course). Jobs, revenue, government spending, etc all continue to be showing positive signs and direction. Of course the market will do market things and...

    I would normally agree, but when you look at the breadth of market its actually not just big tech holding things up. Which makes this a bit harder to predict. Things are really moving in unison for the most part.

    Sort of what I am hinting at. Between the technical indicators and everyone pulling/lowering guidance, I think the painful quarters are going to be up ahead. Not enough that I've put my money where my mouth is yet, but since we all I know I post my losers, I'll be happy to share when I do go in.

    Question for those more macro savvy than I. Is it possible all of these earnings beats are due to the recent inflation? Perhaps they are not true indicators of growth but more of an indicator of the value of the dollar? Not across the board, for example seeing growth in actual customer counts...

    I'm with you. META amazes me, and go them even though I hate that company from a personal life choices perspective. All of this does make one wonder how we could be entering a bear market with all of the beats of the major corporations. The whole markets being irrational has never been more...

    Do people still watch SPACs here? There is a CLBR ticker that I am getting curious about, considering far out calls or even shares. It's "Grab a Gun" which is online gun retailer, with all the usual 2nd amendment, American pride, etc. What makes it a bit interesting is that Trump Jr. just put...

    So terrible manufacturing reports, terrible home sales data, debt, trade shit, and up we go! it did look like a volume struggle though, was not a clear and strong bill run. I have no idea what to think of this market on a mid/long(2-6 month) scale. Daily it still seems pretty easy to ride the...

    For once I am with @Blazin in that I am sitting on the sidelines here. We could stay green up 560$ or even 572$ ish(next MA resistances). It's also been a fairly moderate move up which gives it some weight. Volume has picked up a bit since we were trading in a line from basically dec24 - mid feb...

    Anyone in Fargo?

    Anyone live in or near Fargo? I’m driving across country(mostly not a full coast to coast) and most of my stops are highway Marriott’s as I push along but I’m spending some time in Fargo for the first time in my life. Figure it’s an iconic enough American staple I should. anyway I booked a room...

    Assuming the company you are part of offering this is not total shit you should absolutely do this. It's not exactly 6k "free money" as you said because stock can go down and you lack a bit of control around the purchasing, but it is still "free stock". So if the company goes up or even stays...

    Dental Problems

    I had a friend cap a tooth during a trip in Peru for like 80$(was 5-7 years ago so adjust that). Looked perfect, all was normal. It didn’t last long, I think it came off in 5 years but dollar to time was amazing. No idea if the dental in US is better quality along with price. anyway if your...

    I know FoH is all about proof so if requested I’ll post tomorrow when I’m back in front of computer. But I started doing this in March as life afforded me the opportunity to be more active trading(will go back to low time soon). It has been wildly successful with only 1-2 minor losses and one...

    Yea, I don’t understand the TSLA shit either. As MAGA as most of this forum is Elon & Tesla are toxic right now. The left hates him and the cars and the right won’t buy because why be a target for vandalism(pending where you live). I think it’s just riding the general market wave up. I know...

    They didnt take in any immigrants and they are focusing on their country and eliminating corruption. I know, I know...this isn't the politics thread, but it probably is a factor. huge + on the start today, what random announcement will kill it all?

    The Stock Trading and Shitposting thread.

    Took out an ATM put on NNE for May 16th(monthly). This is a post IPO stock, maybe a yearish old that had a brief runup and is now showing all signs of a strong downward trend. It has virtually no support below. Unlike other trades I do looking for a quick 5%+ in/out in less than week, this one...

    Agreed with everyone above, I went with puts on TSLA and SPY today....so far so good. SPY already has a trailing stop loss on it, so I've already locked in 20%. TSLA, I am going to (stupidly) hold through earnings. EDIT: and as I went to paste this the trailing SPY stop hit, closed 11.36$ for...

    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...

    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...

    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...

    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
