Puts on GME

ReadStoriesAndStuff

The option market itself is biased toward creating max pain around where the most options expire worthless. These are by design hedging instruments that traders exploit. This is also why so many expire worthless. They are insurance against other positions in original intent, and in most cases still are. If I buy 10000 shares of GLD at 100 and then buy 100 puts to cover a drop over the next 12 months, I am not battling market makers or hedge funds or retail over max pain. I want 100% of my puts to expire worthless. Max pain is the point of highest contention over where the underlying price discovery lands among option positions - where longs and shorts are in the most disagreement over marginal value for the base instrument on a certain date. Because market prices are just that, set by an informed market, the price tends to gravitate there. It doesn’t always hit it for a variety of reasons. A significant one is an event invalidated the thesis on which many options were previously sold. For example, if max pain is 50 on an underlying, then two days before expiry an unexpected merger is announced, it’s going to run far past max pain and there probably won’t be enough action to move it. Marker makers aren’t doing anything there. It is largely schizos who don’t understand option fundamentals blaming their unwillingness to even understand how much is involved in options messing with them. Also, you have no idea based on the option chain you deecribed on those tickers that “hedgies” are in for big losses if the price stays up. It simply doesn’t work like that in nearly all cases. GME was a complete anomaly where a few hedge funds were short on a stock that squeezed. I guarantee you, the majority of hedge funds are right on price far more than retail. For example, hedge funds got their name from a style of trading the uses a lot of hedging to extract value and minimize loses on multi-factor trades. Guess what options and large short positions are exceptional at doing - acting as a hedge to certain types of multi-factor trades. And the idea that after GME the most advanced traders in the world, big money trade desks, are going to be “surprised” by retail again is idiotic. They can be wrong - everyone is wrong at a high rate in markets. But they aren’t going to be snuck up on with retail gamma squeezes again that blow them up. It’s back to normal getting blown up - somebody screws something up with an oversized position or a black swam hammers them. The big wins you see from retail are outliers. That doesn’t mean you can’t be the outlier. But adopting the same mindset as everyone else piling in a ticker has no edge over the crowd - which can be fine, beta is often enough. The winners are just extracting dumb luck beta. I recommend stop reading and using message board posts to determine what is happening on meme tickers. You want to do options, go to the bookstore and buy out some books on Technical Analysis for Dummies and Options for Dummies and read them, take notes, and figure out why someone might sell calls while buying them when they expect price to trend upward.

Hindsight is a bitch and shouldn’t be looked in regret. Use that knowledge and go forward becaue who knows maybe it couldve went to zero but you still took profits. Extreme example is GME… diamonds hands burned so many people

conradical30

GME is relying on Pokémon power packs to carry it through. ASTS has partnerships with Verizon, ATT, Vodafone, Rakuten, Orange, and well over a dozen other carriers. They have revenue (do a little DD) through various prepayment agreements and well over $1B cash on hand - fully funded to get satellites launched and service rolling. AT&T is rolling out beta service this 1H2026. ASTS will be an absolute cash cow in five years. RKLB has been pouring money into Neutron. When it flies (and it will), they will be profitable in 2027. Space systems sales are increasing exponentially and substantiate for far more revenue than launch systems anyway.

I_worship_odin

The irony of this comment is that RKLB and ASTS are just as much if not more of a meme stock(s) than GME. ASTS is a pre-revenue company worth $34 billion and RKLB has only lost more money over the past four years and is worth $45 billion.

Express_Painter_450

So GME CEO needs GME to blast off. Where is he going to find the people to do that?

ProjectRocket321

I'll tell you something about options... My GME options are going up!!!

forsen_capybara

>posts trash on a stock discussion forums >wtf guys stop discussing and criticizing my garbage, you don't HAVE to invest What did you think would happen? "GME could go to $0 and I would still be profita-" aaand there's the cult mentality.

conradical30

I’ve been overweight on RKLB and ASTS since mid-‘24 and early-‘25, respectively. Made life changing amounts of gains. Been watching GME and even though I’m on the sidelines, its breaking my heart watching everyone in Superstonk still holding after *years*, waiting and hoping for MOASS.

RichardSantelli

GME getting legs

Zebranazgul

GME!

plumpypenguin

lol so you made money on short-term price movements on GME? you guys keep hyping up the stock as a great investment but you had to buy options to make money last year because holding shares would’ve lost you 34% lol

plumpypenguin

? they’ve had at least a billion in cash on hand for years now https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GME/gamestop/cash-on-hand and the most they’ve done with the additional billions they’ve received is buy bitcoin near the top lol

SecretAcademic1654

Nobody cares if you invest or not? If you don't see the value in the cash flows then don't.  What industry are they in that's declining?  I don't have to think about opportunity cost at all. GME could go to $0 and I would still be profitable on the name. 

plumpypenguin

lol the balance sheet isn’t the end all be all, why would I want to invest in a company that has billions of cash on hand when all they do is sit on it? if I wanted to hoard cash, I would just buy US treasuries directly instead of buying GME stock

SteveTheAmazing

The WeBull comments section is insane. GME is still decent for swing trades now and then though.

Sidney_Godsby

Big time GME-esque delusion

plumpypenguin

I was talking about total revenue lol take a look, revenue has been on the decline for years now https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/GME/gamestop/revenue

JGard18

man, I had a bunch of GME in my Roth IRA just sitting there at like $26 avg. Over the past year, I've been like wtf man, if I took even some of that and put it into GOOG or something, I'd be so much better off. So I ended up selling half of what I owned at a loss, put it into both GOOG and RKLB. Much better. But sheesh...

plumpypenguin

I love how GameStop apes have twisted the definition of shills to refer to anyone critical of GME when they have a vested interest in wanting GME to go up

Correct-Stuff2256

2x away from evens. Pick up some long term $GME calls targeting the $30 range

Mr_JohnUsername

Should we invest more money in GME out of spite?

Creative_Gur_4097

Short interest being high doesn't automatically mean squeeze potential - need to check the borrow rate and how underwater those shorts actually are. At $2.50 with low options liquidity this feels more like a penny stock pump than the next GME tbh

JurassicSharkNado

Niiiiice. I hadn't touched the HSA again until recently, just boring SPY long hold since the GME bet. Until I jumped into space stocks in October. HSA went 70k->96k since then. I'll take it

JurassicSharkNado

Smart and stable strategy for an important account. Then there's me, the idiot, who gambled on GME using my HSA during COVID, in true WSB style (it worked but damn it was dumb)

Cash_Brannigan

GME! You're all being fooled! The squeeze still hasn't happened!! Holding 420 shares@420.69/per

JayRoo83

I've got the half Grandpa/half Gen Z idiot portfolio going on 100 shares SPY 1200 GME 100 MSTR 100 RKLB 400 VOYG All with February covered calls sold against

csammy2611

Were you one of the Apes that participated in the Great GME Squeeze? The Exchanges had done us wrong and crashed our effort. I look forward to even that score with them in coming silver squeeze that will dwarf the GME squeeze.

Standard-Top-5942

Some use AI vid generator to make a Elton John Rocket Man ASTS and RKBL meme video to keep them pumping. This is GME again.

csammy2611

I would use the 1970s as reference, if i am correct this is the beginning of multi year bull run. And silver has the potential for a epic short squeeze that make GME gang loos like a kids birthday party.

Do_undoable-23

GPUS isn't a scam, with a partnership with NVIDIA and Vanguard being a huge investor. NVIDIA would have sued GPUS for using their name as a partner, and GPUS went from 3.00 to over 9.00 in a few days. Retail investors are loading into GPUS There will be huge news coming, and that's why insiders and institutions loaded their plates last week. Remember all the shorts that kept saying GME was a scam, and they stood there not believing their own eyes, and lost everything?

Rich-Use1484

Like all other regards on WSB, I have burnt my fair share of money on shit stocks like BYND/GME/OPEN etc... So compare to that, S is far superior :) Happy New Year!

mirrorballin07

people call a random stock the next GME every other week

BorrisZ

GME $20 Puts that expire friday, you'll thank me later (or not).

Bluesquare9

Nothing’s ever gonna be another GME. This will probably get you around $10, fall until further news, then likely pump a good amount higher hopefully ending in a buyout. Huge potential but not $300.

Crazy_Donkies

Put everything you have on GME weekly calls.

TheKingInTheNorth

Flatline looks like mine. Big pump for GME shenanigans, break up with Robinhood over it. Spend years paying way too many fees out of soite. Realize you’re a peon and paying many thousands in fees isn’t worth the grudge and come back to the hood casino.

Pin-Last

I pointed out that meme stocks and $BUZZ are up huge today and got downvoted to death. “meme stock” is just always an insult on here? GME isn’t a meme stock? 

Dextrac1

If it gets that high and stays there till the 16th, after Jan 16 there will be a huge spike in price. A ton of call options are going to expire ITM, forcing the shorters to buy the stock to fulfill their obligation. This could be another GME.

Average_TechSpec

7 days ago you said you bought 35 more shares of GME at a discount....

Brawmethius

Remember when RC gave those loyal apes 32C's (warrants actually). Lmao. Reward you with the right to buy GME at 32!

TheInkDon1

Ohmygosh! That's the same thing RH did with Gamestop during the first short squeeze. I was just talking to somebody last night about that! Here's the gist of that conversation. I realize you're on TT, but it's probably similar to Robinhood in this regard: >There are a few reasons to not be on RH, and now you've just given me a new one: bid increments. You're *sure* you can't type in like 0.38? You mentioned the gamification of the platform... And one more dig at RH: watch the movie *Dumb Money* with Paul Dano as Roaring Kitty, and pay attention to what RH (and some others, to be fair) did on 1/28/21 regarding the ability to buy shares of GME. And the biggie for me: if the service is free, *you're* the product. I'd urge you to switch to Schwab or IBKR.

EV_to_EBITDA

Most of them were AMC bagholders. The rest? GME apes. A tragedy. 🦍🪦

ScribbleOnToast

It's been 3 years. I think I'm finally going to admit that I'm bagholding GME and let it go.

Front_Requirement598

Inquiring minds look to GameStop. Your Nvidia is sitting at $188. Shorts never closed on the play and today, $GME is at $22. They have $9 billion as cash reserves, 6 quarters of profitability, over 4 thousand bitcoins. I could go on but do your own research on the subreddits.

I stopped visiting post-GME, the massive influx astroturfed the sub, but I digress. What you’re seeing is a pattern a lot of people have noticed. “Hey guys, I’m 24, working as a software engineer at Google, just wondering what do with this 👉🏻$1,250,000. I also bought some bitcoin in 2008, just a small position of 35 coins. Is that good?” Shit’s just stupid nowadays.

Ok Mr diamond hands. I hope you don’t die with your bag of SHIB and GME.

Deadass, I got spooked by all the financial end times vids hitting my feed and moved my port to GME. It feels safe for some reason.

Ryu6912

Classic clearing houses trying to protect their own asses to prevent a GME 2.0? Wouldn't be surprised lmao.

Rx_Seraph

For me, 2020 is about when I figured I needed to figure out "how to finance." My parents were/are very much a "work hard, put your money in the bank" mindset (which to be clear is likely the reason that I could take the risks that I took), but they didn't really know much more beyond that, so I went on an aggressive learning journey. This timed well to when brokers started to go commission free trades as well as the minor "crash" in March 2020 in the stock market which got me really interested in investing in general. # The 2020 Sectors I picked six sectors/themes that I thought were really likely to grow because they were important or sharply redefined the way we would do things as a society: space, quantum computing, nuclear, psychedelics, vertical farming and crypto. I set a long time horizon for this meaning that I knew I was going to see a lot of swings and change takes time. Things can move very slowly and then very quickly. I didn't really want to (not then at least and still really not now) be daytrading up and down percentile points for intraday swings and then just miss out on the lion's share. # The Results of the 2020 Sectors (If people are interested, I'll provide rationales of why for each sector, but be prepared for a non-trivial amount of half-bakedness.) Psychedelics (MNMD) and vertical farming (AeroFarms), I was too early on and I think every option I picked failed, but also like...every public option pretty much. Nuclear, I went with the direct uranium exposure in SRUUF and...that like just never moved (which really did surprise me given. Crypto, I wasn't sure if I really wanted to just hold the coins themselves vs buying into an exchange (Bullish), but that SPAC ultimately just never worked out (....until a few months ago when it went public normally -.-). Quantum I feel like I did well in overall (IONQ, QBTS), but I didn't really hold as much on. And for space (RKLB\*, PL) well...we've kinda heard how those has been going. \*I will be very honest. One of the biggest reasons I started following RKLB was not because it was the most innovated, the best financials, or ahead of the game. It's because[ Peter Beck ate the hat and that is the exact kind of leader that I would want to be](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agqxJw5ISdk&t=189s).\* # Overall thoughts: I think the biggest thing that I've found is luck honestly. I could have picked Astra instead of RKLB and lost everything. I could have held PLTR and be up insanely. I could have not written a call against my GME shares \_the one week when it randomly spiked up last year and my shares got called away -.-\_ but when these companies are so new...it really is hard to see where they are going/if they're going to make it, but the asymmetrical risk makes it worth considering making a move. I have sold out of things that immediately spiked and bought into things that have crashed. AMC was an expensive, \_expensive\_ lesson in risk management, but I think it taught me some thing really important (not risk management however -.-) : you absolutely have no idea what the market will do on a day to day basis and you have no control over it. Unless you really want to be glued to a screen looking at ticks or you develop an algo that \_really\_ somehow breaks the edge that the 800 pound gorillas (Citadel, Virtua) in the room have (who naturally will burn more money in one day than many of us will ever see in a lifetime to screw over another hedge fund), I personally don't know if I recommend trying to "optimize" positions by buying and selling in short time spans. Pick sectors you would want to follow naturally. Alpha is ubiquitous, its not confined to AI, space, or whatever is trending in the moment. Find the things that you find cool in the world, things that you wish were better and find companies try to bridge that gap and research those. You might find that your approach is totally wrong, but you also might find someone has already laid out the groundwork to validate your thesis and this is the move. this is already too many words. hopefully there's something useful and it's not all just inane drivel.

nikoEvil

It's 2026 actually and that is a bet on hidden value play similar to $GME before it goes ballistic

UnFuckingGovernable

You admitting the first top being 2021 only reiterates the fact that this has always been about video game stock. You people might wanna remember where you came from before you miss out on act #2 from the mother of all gamma squeezes. #GME #shortsarefukd #bringwallstreetbetsback

Not_FinancialAdvice

I remember seeing that QCOM runup. It was like the GME of the day. I rode that for a little while; still have a few shares.

Dazzling_Marzipan474

My only real gamble this year so far is ACHV. Other gambling types are BULL, MARA and GME. Other than those it's just boring stocks.

GME was the closest I got to that. I think it was a 30-40x

SilverPrivateer

Ya'll realize the whole artifical silver narrative was to stop the GME squeeze right?

Brilliant_Goose7265

Yes it's possible. That X account has a lot of information on it and the numbers. Also explains what happened after EO and why. Just like GME need diamond hands, no stop losses, buy the dip don't sell into it. The dips are usually short attacks and unwinding. Need to keep buying pressure. Need NTM calls and buy the underlying stocks on dips. It appears they short curl most of the time as Trulieve and Green Thumb have bigger followings that buy the dips.

Throwmeaway50472

If Citi and BAC are allegedly the silver shorters that needed liquidity pumped into them by the Fed overnight. Why aren’t they the next GME? Why aren’t we slamming shorts on them?

falling_knives

Popcorn company at 16 cents pre-split. I wonder how many people are still holding the wannabe, copycat GME stock.

Twist_of_Fate_44

Don't worry brother, you haven't missed anything but some MMs scalping a few points off of retail The gamma squeeze theory is nonsense, let's call it 'fake news' just to keep things current. The same recycled crap the GME crowd used You'll get another chance at $4.00, maybe even low $3's, trust me ..

PresentationReady873

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a nicer, more level headed shareholder base than $RKLB; tbf $PLTR is also very nice $ASTS are mostly GME type of dudes, young, who will go at you for even mentioning their stock and not saying it’s not the best thing on hearth and can cure cancer I have to say, as of late they seem to have town it down a lot, which is super cool Their company is a super ambitious and cool company and most $RKLB people are invest in $ASTS or at least cheer for it, I know I do

drbigtoe

Can we put the ASTS regards in their own subreddit? We have reached GME cult levels of delusion

AnotherDegenerateFK

Everything gets GME’d even presidents

ARSC_RexH

As much as I want to see SLV run wild, I'm afraid it's gonna get GME'd to prevent it from going crazy.

I hope Hindenburg research writes a research paper on CME and comex before giving them the GME shorted-to-the-basement treatement pre-deepfuckingvalue.

AnotherDegenerateFK

GME was manipulated multiple times all the way to the top. SLV manipulation barely started with the supply crunch and countries like China backing the bulls. This is not the top, however, it’s highly likely we visit 50 again before the next leg up 🪙 🚀 

AngryAndAggressive

GME. I’m expecting some serious volatility any moment now.. maybe I give it two weeks.

It’s all rigged. Just like they did to GME back in the day.

ByteDance dropping $14B on NVDA chips like we did on our 2021 GME YOLO. Let’s hope they use this AI power to find us the next tendie train instead of just spamming my FYP with dance trends.

khante

I dont understand any of these words.... No wonder I lost money during GME and DogeCoin hype 😢😭

Much_Candle_942

Nokia might have a better chance, to be honest. For things like OPEN to mimic GME craze, we need a roaring bull market first. Like in August, when the index was going 1-2% up everyday and Mag-7s were popping 5-6% casually. Until those days are back, only high quality legit stuff will run, not memes. 

sljxuoxada

Well, i guess you should also be replying the same way to the other people who suggested a single stock then...or is $GME just special?

sljxuoxada

$GME is on sale, and the business is profitable. Wall Street can't keep this beach ball underwater forever and, when they lose the handle on it, it's going to go to the moon.

Chan1991

When I started to do stocks during 2020, I was doing GME, BB and AMC. I made 10k in two days after a week of trading. Thought it was “so easy” and couldn’t believe I didn’t start sooner. Lost 20k the same week lol. What I learned is 1) don’t be greedy. When you make profit don’t jump back in ride another stock. When stocks are up and you’re thinking about selling but hold, but then it drops quickly. 2) Do not gamble but “invest”. That way my mind will be clear, knowing it’s going down but will come up later because it’s my investment.

chipmunkofdoom2

Options aren't the problem, your expectations are. This is how WSB YOLO-ing works. You're buying lottery tickets and hoping they pay off. The people who made millions of dollars from GME were a mixture of lucky and foolish. They just happened to mortgage their house and go $200k all-in on GME (foolish) right when it was getting ready to take off (lucky). There are plenty of people you don't hear about that went in close to ATH that lost everything. Just like in your case. Your lottery ticket didn't pay off. If you want to make smaller incremental gains, learn how the market works and how to trade on price action. You don't need to land $100k moonshots to be successful. If you can trade swing or intraday and earn just a few hundred dollars a day average, you can make a good living trading.
