Platinum is used for catalytic converters. So if there's isn't any pullback on the switch to EV's (which don't have them), I doubt there's some massive play here. I'm going to be controversial here, but gold is the only preciously metal truly viewed as money by people who matter (governments, CB, etc.).

You completely miss the motivation for central banks buying gold persistently. For 80 years they could generally trust Western Civilization’s Super Power and original democracy to support Global Trade and have consistent geopolitical policy. This meant the US bond and equity marker got a premium value. Our electorate revoted in Trump. They don’t trust the US voting body and never will again. Because we voted him in again after knowing exactly who he is. It’s not him they are worried about with a temporary decision. It’s us with repeated decisions. They will not stop buying Gold until they have enough to not care what the US does with monetary policy. Doesn’t mean they won’t hold US bonds or equities, but they no longer will hold a premium and won’t be an outsized allocation. The implicit safety they represented has been explicitly terminated. The premium is transferring to Gold. Who cares if the bond pays interest and the shiny rocks don’t. The shiny rocks are dependent on the US voter re-electing someone who consistently targets Europe l, breaks his agreements, and screws his allies over some crap he thought up in a midnight tweet. The US bond being the exclusive backstop in the CB reserves worldwide. That leaves Gold and Gold and more Gold.

There were several posts on here explaining gold / silver rise. Gold is being bought by the global CBs. The study below is from JPM but id start here and continue. CB buying is going to continue into 2026. They call it diversification but putting aside the flowery language its just dumping the dollar given the lack of fiscal / monetary discipline in the US. Its also being reflected in long term treasuries that refuse to decrease. https://www.jpmorgan.com/insights/global-research/commodities/gold-prices As for silver, the main idea is that demand exceeds supply due to new industries. Unless theres a shift somehow, silver is expected to continue to increase. That along with speculation is why its up 10%+.

It’s never foolish to take profits and you can’t know the future. Getting your CB back is smart and your conscience will probably thank you as you don’t need to worry so much about big drops. FWIW I have a CB in the 7s and haven’t sold a share in 5 years

Activation of Endocannabinoid System Is Associated with Persistent Inflammation in Human Aortic Aneurysm https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4619808/ This demonstrates that aneurysm tissue has a pathological "overexpression" of CB1/CB2 receptors and a deficit in Anandamide and PEA, which normally act to resolve inflammation. Cannabidiol (CBD) and its analogs: a review of their effects on inflammation https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7030071/ CBD is shown here to inhibit FAAH, the enzyme that breaks down Anandamide. This directly addresses the original study’s findings by helping to raise the "significantly lower" levels of Anandamide back to a healthy state. The Endocannabinoid System and Cannabidiol: Past, Present, and Prospective for Cardiovascular Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8472406/ This study explains how CBD acts as a negative modulator of the CB1 receptor. This is relevant because the original study found "significantly higher" mRNA for these receptors, and CBD can help prevent them from over-triggering the inflammatory response in the vessel wall.

I’m suggesting that everything related to investing needs ups and downs. There’s a risk in everything CB bailing everyone out everytime, remove the risk factor, and thus making everything almost risk free. Economy is a part of the world, but should not be the most important part of it.

u/kazkeb >They're buying tbills That's false, they're buying notes as well. And realistically it's only a recent thing they're not willing to expand balance sheet duration. That's probably because yields went down enough but trust me, if 10Y ever got yippy and stayed above 4.5% for example, they would take action. Although they probably won't need to if Bessent keeps doing buybacks and front loading the yield curve. But if that changed for whatever reason, they easily can and will. >They've found that the Fed balance sheet/banking reserves need to grow with the economy, or there are problems that occur because of lack of liquidity. They haven't "found" anything. They knew this would happen. This is why Norges Bank (Norwegian CB) got off ample reserves. The system adapts to that level of reserves. >When Norges Bank keeps reserves relatively high for a period, it appears that banks gradually adjust to this level…With ever increasing reserves in the banking system, there is a risk that Norges Bank assumes functions that should be left to the market. It is not Norges Bank’s role to provide funding for banks…If a bank has a deficit of reserves towards the end of the day, banks must be able to deal with this by trading in the interbank market. https://www.norges-bank.no/contentassets/cfc83348f4574a719dd5a4ce70a48840/consultative_document_06102010.pdf Additionally, we have to keep printing to protect the highly leveraged basis trade and fund deficits: [https://adamjosephson.substack.com/p/for-how-much-longer-will-the-highly](For How Much Longer Will the Highly Leveraged Treasury Basis Trade Finance U.S. Budget Deficits?) [https://robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/the-basis-trade-must-die](https://robinjbrooks.substack.com/p/the-basis-trade-must-die) Basically US is in a state of default. We can't fund deficits without printing money. We don't have a solution to close deficits that people are willing to accept either. >It's not really QE though. Typical QE involves buying long term treasuries. Eh. Not really. IMHO this is a really, really idiotic debate on semantics that only emerged very recently. It's a waste of time because for the practical scope of investor discussion, the distinction between QE vs. "RMP" is irrelevant. All they need to know is that a lot of money is being printed, higher reserves are being targeted again, and financial conditions will remain very loose, markets will have plenty liquidity. The distinction is only relevant from a policy perspective of whether it will lead to hyperstimulation and out of control inflation (it won't without a supply shock of some kind). But it is definitely easing. If you care about my thoughts on definition though, here's an old comment. Fed has actually used RMP and QE interchangeably. ----------------------------------- Is printing money and targeting higher excess reserves necessarily QE? There are several definitions out there. Fed itself has interchangeably used RMP and QE: https://i.imgur.com/bo4SmXW.png Wikipedia: >Quantitative easing (QE) is when a central bank creates new base money and uses it to buy financial assets, mainly government bonds, from the market. That newly created money enters the banking system, increases liquidity, and expands the central bank’s balance sheet. Fed's definition: https://www.stlouisfed.org/publications/regional-economist/july-2012/quantitative-easing-lessons-weve-learned >What Is QE? >Traditionally speaking, QE is when a central bank goes from targeting interest rates to targeting the amount of excess reserves held by banks, i.e., the quantity of currency in the banking system. Central banks do this by buying financial assets in exchange for reserves. Conventional monetary policy also requires buying and selling assets, namely short-term debt, to influence the desired interest rate, but the difference with QE is that the level of purchases—and not the interest rate—becomes the target. The original coining of QE by Richard Werner to buy at the time 20% of bad debt in the Japanese banking system: https://eprints.soton.ac.uk/340476/1/Translation_Werner_QE_Nikkei_Sep_1995_final1.pdf

Happy_Discussion_536

Thank you for your first serious answer. Genuinely. It's not just technically QE. It completely fits what QE is both original definition and how it was described until very, very recently which is targeting higher reserves through a period of asset purchases to expand a CB's balance sheet. I doubt you could give me a single source that makes this delineation until very recently. But even for all practical purposes it will have the exact same effects on markets and is a much more useful "label" than RMP which no one here even knows what it means as a so-called non-technical program. Do you disagree that $40B in RMP is very powerful and will push markets up? >A crash is always coming, just a matter of when. Which is why the "when" is so important. >I’m all cash and make money whether the market goes up or down, since I day trade. Honestly that sounds very irresponsible and would be extremely bad advice for most people. How long have you been doing this? Are you even 99% with your retirement money???

STC 12 @ $29.30 BTO 12 @ $23.60 Total balance decreased from $40,900 and change to $40,770 now $40,342 because GLD dipped at the end. CB on the new contracts is $28,327 and cash increased by $6,824 and the available to trade is the full cash balance of $12,382. I think where I am confused is when I saw a credit I assumed I was realizing a $2,900 loss, being credited $6824 and was expecting to see a total balance of $44,824 reflecting the difference.

TheInkDon1

Yes, you're absolutely right: all those Premiums add up to help cover a later loss. I just had my mind on the *right now* scenario, where the CC doesn't lose value fast enough to keep up with the loss from the long Call. And yes, you can keep selling CCs as the stock is dropping. **Be mindful of your Cost Basis though**. Maybe you know that, but be careful not to sell CCs at a strike below your CB. Otherwise when/if the stock comes roaring back they'll be ITM. And if you let the CC expire ITM you'll lose the shares. But you generally have time to react to that by rolling up and out. And just because a CC is ITM doesn't mean it'll be exercised immediately. As long as there's *some* extrinsic value left in it, the holder would be forfeiting that if they exercised.

Yeah, I started my crypto adventure on Kraken way back in the day when the only way to get money in was to wire it. I think I switched to CB because maybe the deposit process was a little easier and I forgot to ever switch back when Kraken's deposit process improved. I reactivated my Kraken account this year because of the CB fiasco.

You keep trying to make the case that the origin of mismatches between the nairu and unemployment and 2% and the current inflation rate matter in the CB mandate. They don't. Even if the origin of fluctuations is supply driven, acting on the demand channel brings everything to target.

Finally you came out and said what the stock was, thanks. You posted this before today's 15% drop; did you buy? I'm having trouble seeing premium of 2.50 to 5.00 in a week too, like someone else said. Especially at a place where it would take an 11-15% rise in the stock to be hit. Right now, Tuesday AH, at 10DTE, that's 36-delta at most, and those Calls are only fetching 1.69. That's an ROI against spot of 41.12 of 4.1% over 8 trading days, so 2.5%/week at most. So check your numbers on that. But regardless of that, do you see what people were saying about bag-holding? The stock dropped **7.37** today. The right-ATM 10DTE Calls are selling for just **2.90.** It's hard to say what this morning's numbers were (or yesterday late), but that general relationship should be close, and in fact it has to be because of Delta. (Shares 100-delta, ATM Calls \~50-delta) So if you'd done that buy-write this morning and that happened, you'd have been in the hole $4 or so, and $4 is **8%** of yesterday's close. Then work out where you'd be selling a new CC (because you'd be buying that one back quickly) to not be below your CB. It's an enticing game, but one I gave up a long time ago, and for that reason. But what I *really* came in to talk about is your notion about deep-ITM Calls. First, 2 rules I live by when buying Calls: **Never less than 100 days.** **Never less than 90-delta.** But I used to do 80-delta, and that's pretty common, so let's use that. The 20March expiration is 108DTE. The 30C is at 81-delta according to ToS and costs 16.25 at Midpoint here AH. (Making B/E 46.25) Divide that by spot of 41.12 and get 40%. That means that Call option is 60% less than buying shares. Or flipping the math: 41.12 / 16.25 means you could buy 2.5 of those Calls for the same amount of money as buying 100 shares. So *that's* why you might consider buying Calls instead of shares. Cheers!

LordFaquaad

Agreed with the duration matching. However the banks investment philosophy is still being dictated by the government. Hence the government uses it as an alternate form of financing / bringing stability into the market. Its essentially another tool to continue financing thr government domestically without exposing the governments debt to external financiers. Japan Post Bank which is a state owned bank has around 25% of its total invest able assets dedicated to government securities. These aren't high yielding assets and the bank / insurers it owns does this due to the state philosophy since profit isnt the main driving force behind the bank https://www.japanpost.jp/en/ir/news/jpn/20250515_en02.pdf CB isnt the only thing that matters. If you have investors selling the longer maturity govt debt, it signals a weak long term outlook. State owned entities are supposed to bring stability into the market by buying government debt and HTM

LordFaquaad

Put in the "state owned entities" e.g. Banks, insurers etc. They're doing the exact same thing but just spreading exposure over multiple state entities instead of concentrating it in the CB. The largest Chinese banks are all state owned (big 4 banks) Thats why a direct comparison to the US is pointless. Asia / Africa both have a lot of government involvement through state owned or state sponsored entities. Its the same thing with the Saudis and how they use Aramco to push forward certain policies eventhough its marketed as a private entity

LordFaquaad

Based on US markets yes. However, this is pretty standard in Asia. Indonesia, Malaysia, China, etc. are all the same way. The debt is owned by either the CB or "state owned entities".

I have been in Caribou for quite some time. I have had to dollar cost average down to reduce my break even price point. Pro’s- I am a big fan of Rachel and of their progress in CB10 and CB11. I am glad they focused on oncology and shelved the autoimmune research (for now). Their benchmark is Yescarta, an autologous treatment that already generates $2.5B per year, so there is a proven scalable larger market for CRBU’s allogenic approach. Cons - the share price action is terrible. Rachel did waste one full year by not starting HLA matching sooner but that is in the past and the results speak for themselves. My biggest issue is that I don’t understand the price movement. Seems like it’s held down for accumulation. There are significant amounts of large institutional holders. I understand the science and the results so I am staying in and buying when it gets to these low points. I haven’t sold a share in 4yrs so yes, some shares (not many) are near ATHs.

✅ 1. “Growing out of it is impossible — demographics guarantee it.” This is not true and is unsupported by actual economic data. ✔ Fact A: The U.S. has the best demographic profile of any advanced economy • high immigration • strong labor-force participation • younger median age than Europe, Korea, China, and Japan Demographics are a tailwind compared to most developed economies. ✔ Fact B: Productivity growth is the main driver of “growing out of debt,” not birth rates And right now: • AI capex exploding • reshoring stimulating manufacturing • labor productivity has risen at the fastest pace since the early 2000s The OP is making simplified demographic doom arguments that economists don’t use. ⸻ ❌ 2. “Tax cuts passed → tax increases are off the table.” This is pure political opinion, not economics. Historically: • The U.S. has raised taxes many times even after cuts • Deficit pressure forces bipartisan tax changes • Taxes can rise automatically through bracket creep, inflation, and expiring provisions And importantly: Congress doesn’t need to reverse tax cuts to reduce deficits — they just need smaller increases in spending vs revenue over time. The OP is turning a fluctuating political choice into a “mathematical impossibility,” which is wrong. ⸻ ❌ 3. “We’re already doing yield control.” Incorrect. Yield curve control is when a central bank explicitly caps yields at a target. The U.S. is not doing that. • Long-term yields float freely • The Fed is still in QT • There is no cap or floor on 10-year yields If we were doing YCC: • the Fed balance sheet would be expanding • the 10-year yield would be pinned • forward rates would collapse None of this is happening. This is just a misuse of terminology. ⸻ ❌ 4. “If the model is Japan, we don’t have the social cohesion to stagnate.” This is a philosophical argument, not an economic one. More importantly: • The U.S. does not need to be Japan. • The U.S. economy is far more dynamic, risk-tolerant, and innovative. • Immigration gives the U.S. something Japan never had. The comparison doesn’t apply. This is a false analog. ⸻ ❌ 5. “This is unproductive debt — we got nothing from it.” Again, this is not accurate. The COVID-era debt: • prevented a 1930s collapse • preserved households • accelerated labor market recovery • grew corporate earnings • created the conditions for the AI investment wave • produced the fastest GDP recovery in the G7 Calling that “nothing” is just emotional. ⸻ ❌ 6. “I’m following the smart money — central banks buying gold.” This is misinterpreting the data. Central banks buying gold ≠ U.S. collapse. The main drivers of CB gold purchases have been: • geopolitical diversification • hedging sanctions risk • China reducing dollar exposure gradually • Turkey stabilizing currency reserves • India raising reserve quality NONE of these are because “U.S. debt is unpayable.” Central banks reduce dollar share because they are diversifying, not abandoning. They still overwhelmingly hold: • U.S. Treasuries • Dollar reserves • SWIFT-system assets If central banks believed the OP’s scenario, T-bills would be blowing out in yield right now. Instead? Yields are trending down.

This is true. I got sim swapped, email hacked, and then coinbase hacked one day (2FA + Secure password). Hacker drained my checking which had ~$800 in it years ago buying crypto on CB and quickly sent it to their account. Filed a charge back with the bank and got refuned but the next time I deposited crypto to coinbase they took the money and said it was their's. To this day I haven't been able to purchase crypto through them. I tried to fix that with their support a while back but gave up when the support rep was being obtuse. If your security isn't great you could be on the hook for a lot of money in the event something catastrophic happens. Coinbase itself could get hacked as well and you could just be out of luck. I do like CB but the situation I was in left a slightly sour taste in my mouth and now its just easier to buy IBIT and not have to dick with the exchanges.

People have hedged the world currency devaluation crisis by buying stocks forever, especially since 2008. CB's & governments for years have claimed they could print money forever w/o runaway inflation. We've had runaway inflation since 2008, it's just that inflation showed up in asset prices such as stocks, real estate, and gold. It was only after the covid money printing bomb that this runaway inflation also started to show up in everyday consumption goods & services consumed by the masses. I'm extremely bearish and believe we are in an AI bubble, but that doesn't mean stocks will go down forever. You need a hedge against the devaluation of USD and other world currencies. I just prefer Gold & Housing as my long term hedge over stocks in this current AI bubble.

The problem is that you, like every single person I've seen get excited about FSD, are using it in a way that [Tesla specifically says you must not do](https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/2020_2024_modely/en_us/GUID-2CB60804-9CEA-4F4B-8B04-09B991368DC5.html). You are not being chauffeured around, you cannot go hands free or pedal free, you need to be constantly paying attention to the road and ready to take over at a moment's notice.

I had "thousands" of BYND and sold CCs on all of them. BYND shot up to $7.69 and CCs were too expensive for me to BTC. I just BTC today for a profit of $85 but now I'm ready to sell BYND if there's another pump. CB is 0.79 so the previous high would have been a 10x. I'm at 2x currently but will hold for now.

You were talking about the depression…that’s fair. But if the CB is powerful now…why do they allow runs in inflation in modern times?

I_WlLL_END_YOU

I only had 2 contracts. I have a bunch of straight stock @ $86 CB already so didn’t want to put too much of my port into it

Ok_Lie_3148

Yeah that's not true. Palantir has been working with both parties. It goes as far back as Obama. Who do you think was behind the CB1 app pushed by the Biden admin lol.

twf INTC shares (CB $20) outperform NVDA shares (CB $100)

AnduinStillwater

I have 800 shares at av $0.47. The low volume on this stock has been concerning me.  But, Dec 24 the company agrees a loan (convertible bond) 3i, for $4.7m dollars. As of Oct 25, the outstanding amount on this CB was $300k. This means that 93% the share dilution that could have happened has already happened by this date. By 13th Dec 25, the CB would have matured, meaning that TNMG will have either paid off the remaining debt owed, or 3i would have converted any outstanding amount into shares. As of 14th Dec 25, TNMG will have no outstanding debt obligation under this note, and if no further dilution announcements to raise capital, the share price can be considered safe from dilution for a time.  What this means; Existing shareholder confidence grows without the overhang of possible dilution of their current TNMG holdings Potential buyers could be more interested in this stock as TNMG have demonstrated robust financial discipline and balance sheet looks very healthy Nothing materially changes in regards the company's forward momentum however. Providing the borrowed capital was put to good use and was repaid responsibly, and the raised capital was expended in the way outlined in the business plan, then the company has just executed its own plan. Raise capital to invest in business growth.  Indirectly this is a positive for potential investors. If the company is able to set out a growth strategy, raise the funds to implement the growth strategy, and responsibly pay it off, it indicates that the company is well managed and is strategic enough to fulfill its short term plans in order to enable their longer term plans.  Potential buyers should watch this space as TNMG will be present at multiple media events in the coming months where their existing projects and potential new projects will be under the microscope. Benchmark have recently held their forecast at $3.50/share in light of the evident financial discipline, 100x greater than the current shareprice. A good buy in my opinion and one to sit with/invest more in if you are already holding.

What’s CB?

ExtremeAddict

Yeah I used to do that. My PLTR position was converted recently from shares to LEAPS. I redeployed the capital. But now I've been going straight into LEAPS directly. HOOD, OKLO, UNH, ASTS, RKLB - all made several hundred % gains, and I took profits to cover my CB. Now they're all on house money, and I've redeployed my capital again into datacenter and AI. I don't do shares at all anymore. Half my port is a very low CB tech stock that would be almost entirely capital gain now (1500%) - which I cannot sell since I don't want to pay the tax at the moment. But I use margin off that to put that gain to some work.

Crispr-cas9 is the hot thing in biotech right now. It’s used for gene editing and in the future gene editing will be able to solve basically any disease ever. CRBU is co-founded by the woman who co-invented the tech and also co-founded NTLA. She is working with CRBU to develope a crispr hybrid RNA-DNA (chRDNA). This chRDNA will make the existing crispr tech work better be more accurate and have less unintended gene edits which have unintended consequences. ChRDNA will make crispr safer and more effective, it is also a platform that can be patented and then CRBU can license it to all the other biotech crispr companies and make billions. Trial data for their two proof of concept therapies CB-010 and CB-011 will be released by end of year. Stock has moved from 0.66 to 2.60 in anticipation but mcap is still around 300m which means this has upside potential to easily 10-20x if the results are good. I’m betting on the competence of Jennifer Dounda who invented crispr, won a Nobel prize, and cofounded NTLA. Bad results kills the thesis but she has proven to be a good bet and the upside far outward the downside here.

I have said this 3 times yesterday alone that do not try to short this bit CB

HelpOuta49er

Yes. It really is manipulation. But manipulation is unavoidable at his point. As US markets are overwhelmingly influenced by Federal Government / CB policy measures. Instead of natural market forces. Of course, the decision makers know this. And of course, they are profiting from it.

markbagh

fair take on timing risk. that's why i split between physical + options. the CB buying is what makes me think we stay elevated even through corrections but yeah growth stocks are solid too, just different play

markbagh

yeah fair point. the geopolitical stuff is def accelerating things faster than i thought. what do you think pushes it higher - more CB buying or fed cuts?

balling

Bought at 1.62 CB and sold it all to buy a house this year, unfortunately it was right before the super run, so I only sold at $120 a share but either way I can’t really complain since it paid for my home.

blalah

Yeah, I don't disagree with you there, using CB or a broker is easier and in some cases far safer than trying to track your own keys. My point was more that crypto is intrinsically different in that there is still a PK, no matter who is holding it, or how many times it's stored or backed up. If that's gone, it's gone. With forming a company and issuing stock it's just a matter of getting the execs and the lawyers in a room for an hour while everyone bangs their dicks on the table and the lawyers leave paid. There's nothing that could make the stock suddenly disappear.

blalah

yeah that reality actually keeps it outside of corporate governance. CB could get hacked and the ledger doesn't give a flying bat's butt if someone moves stolen BTC. it's gone. You can't "hack" company stock that way haha

Hmmm I wonder if Galaxy Digital GLXY could be part of their financial play? They just launched a retail trading platform with crypto & stocks to compete with RH and CB…

Looking at the CB of some shares in WSB favorites from 6-12 months ago... ASTS 24.40 -> now 72.90 JOBY 6.80 -> 19.57 PL 5.55 -> 15.24 RKLB 19.80 -> 58.50

ExtremeAddict

This is not a tax question. But rather if you're comfortable holding INTC for 1 year. You have gains right now. There is a chance if you don't take profits now, it will just dissolve away. Paying taxes on a gain is always better than having no gain. Taxes - yes, you will be on LTGC if you exercise AND hold the shares for 1 year after you exercise. You lose the extrinsic value, but it's very small - just like $0.5 per share, since you're deep ITM 0.97 delta. Depending your income level, the difference can be up to 17%. So it may be worth it. But then again, assumes INTC will be above $22.77 - which will be the CB for your shares. Apart from the recent Trump pump, INTC has stayed under $22.77 for the most part of this year.

Fair, but I have an inkling that Elon might consider it as its competitor. He often retweets some non sense that a rando account “Reddit lies” posts. But he has an account here so I don’t necessarily agree with an idea that Elon hates Reddit. Most of the part you’ve pointed out is correct, you sound like you hold RDDT? Anyway I was a Twitter shareholder back then and it was one helluva journey, do you want to hear the full story? though I shouldn’t complain, I made a fair amount of profit off of it when the transaction was completed (a bit overpriced) at $54.20, my CB was $35. If I remember correctly, allegedly Jack Dorsey had beef with the BOD (board of directors), he said it had been an on going issue for the past few years, he tried to talk Elon into joining as a committee member so that he could gain a vote in favor of him the final decision making, Elon initially said yes and bought 9% of stake, though later declined. He initiated tender offer to aquire all the potentially available shares, the hostile takeover seemed quite imminent. Twitter publicly announced that they are not for sale. But probably Jack wanted P2P (to take the company private) at all cost, so that he no longer needs to forcefully associate with the board members although he was about to leave the board for good in a few months, supposedly he hoped to fire some of them (I don’t recall it exactly but he said they are the reason why it’s rot or something similar) and trusted Elon more, Elon signed the contract. Meanwhile, Russia conflict has begun, reportedly Elon’s fear of nuke war had grown day by day (check the leaked texts between Elon and Larry, the oracle CEO) he wished to back out of the deal, he could have played it nice like a gentleman, instead he woke up and chose violence, he blatantly disrespected Twitter openly, basically he accused Twitter of being fraud, he insisted Twitter’s disclosure about less than the estimated 5% of mDAU being bot accounts/activities is a deceptive concept. Twitter sued him for breaching NDA and to force him to close the deal. He tried to refute and counter sue them, but he had no enough evidence to back up the claim, all he kept saying back then was Twitter should release the more accurate data and the measurement they are using is false and it’s causing MAE (material adverse effect), the Delaware judge McCormick denied the appeal and stated that Twitter does not owe him anything. Indeed, because Elon was supposed to do due diligence beforehand not after, he complained about it after signing the deal. Elon raged tweeted a lot on Twitter to win the public sentiment but the judge did not buy his made up invalid excuse to weasel out of it, the rest of the story you already know. When I have a flashback like right now, I always wonder what would have been like if the judge was convinced by Elon and let him pay $1B as a fee and walk away. You’re right, there’s data that show Reddit is heavily left leaned whereas Twitter has become more right leaned under the Elon regime (no need to look up the research, anyone who has more than two legitimate braincells can notice it just scrolling down the front pages of both) but folks should not forget Elon did stand up against the administration for once he called them out a few months ago, and I agree that the current state of Twitter appears to be quite useful when it comes to the uncensored content, which could be flagged graphic and removed on other platforms. However, this isn’t merit, it would not help attracting more advertisers as the majority of them would want SFW places to ad their products.

What will you do when it hits expiration? Will you let it execute and use the cash elsewhere or will you sell close the call and sell another? My point is that you should make the move that supports your current thesis. I've made very profitable CCs that ended up way ITM. Sometimes I can get my money back out with minimum cost (I think this is what you're talking about). If I've made the money I intended, I then have to ask What now? If I think the stock will hold it's value or increase, I sometimes roll up and stay same. This costs me, but I look at the return. Very important in that situation to not chase the strike price. Sometime I close the call and sell the shares. If I'm ITM, I'm making money. As you have looked at your cost, I also look at mine. Is it costing me $100 to free up $10,000 for 6 months? Yep, I'm doing that. That's because I feel that I can make way more in other places. 1% of your total CB as your cost doesn't sound like much. Feel free to throw the exact numbers out and I can give an honest assessment. Typically, Up and Out. Often close and close. Occasionally, Up and stay.

quod-inquisitio

i buy ~120dte spy calls at about 15-20 delta, up ~75% on these, on big rally days i STO some calls 5-10 strikes further out to turn some of the calls into call debit spreads and then BTC them on red days when they are in profit to lock in some gains and reduce CB on the long calls. i close the position usually at around 90-70dte.

Thankyou for shairng as that was an excellent Tech Analysis ...I hope you dont mind if I add to it. **ATCH – Condensed Assessment with Share Value** **Upsides** Revenue (FY25): $10.86M (commissions, clearing, vetting) Operating Loss: $(4.9)M, down \~65% vs prior period Bottom Line: GAAP profit +$5.75M (non-cash fair-value gains offset losses) Capital & Insider Signal: $5M financing in Sept, $2M insider checks Governance: 10-K filed Sept 29; earnings call Sept 30 @ 8:30am ET Share Structure: Reverse split 1-for-60 (Dec 2024); 126.8M shares outstanding (Sept 25, 2025) Revenue Multiple Enterprise Value (EV) Approx. Market Cap Implied Share Price\* 5× (low fintech infra) $54M $54M $0.43 7× (base bull case) $76M $76M $0.60 10× (growth fintech) $109M $109M $0.86 12× (premium fintech infra) $130M $130M $1.03 \*Implied share price = Market Cap ÷ 126.8M shares. Excludes net cash/debt adjustments. **Upside Catalysts** 1. Revenue scaling: Doubling commissions/clearing + vetting 2. Banking optionality: Adding net interest income via CB of Wyoming 3. Operating leverage: Opex already down \~65%; path to breakeven is visible 4. Capital structure & IR: Insider alignment + PCG Advisory → potential for institutional entry **Takeaway:** At today’s \~$0.73 share price, ATCH is trading above a distressed 5× multiple but well below growth fintech ranges. Execution on revenue doubling + banking monetization could reasonably re-rate the stock into the $0.60–$1.00+ zone, with higher optionality if it scales toward $50–250M revenue
