There are REITs like Really Income Corp, the original REIT from 1974, has always paid it's dividends, never canceled, never reduced. So far in 2025 the stock price has been stable, trades mostly in the $50-65 range. There are also natural gas and oil pipelines that pay reliable dividends: ENB, EPD, ET, KMI, MPLX, OKE. These are places to park your investment funds that offer better returns than bonds.

OptionJockey

Agree that SQQQ isn't a great idea for betting against QQQ except at extremes. And to piggyback on HugeAd, SQQQ is often the only way to quickly add a hedge to a basket of long positions in overnight trading when everything is dropping, you can't adjust or sell your options positions, and you can't short stock. It's not perfect, but the computation is simple if you're using TOS. Just beta-weight your basket against SQQQ to find your portfolio delta. Buy enough shares of SQQQ to offset the portfolio delta to neutral. You may still have losses, but they'll be mitigated by 8 am ET, at which point, you can take off the hedge and roll into individual short positions if you prefer exact hedges prior to market open. Early this morning, as futures were dropping, I placed this hedge and cut my losses in half at the open. Better than nothing.

SPY and many ETFs trade till 4:15 ET

RiskFirstExplains

People are mixing up SPX vs SPY. SPX options can trade nearly 24h via CBOE Global Trading Hours, and some brokers allow premarket/overnight fills. SPY options cannot. SPY is an ETF and its options only trade during regular market hours (9:30–4:00 ET). If this was SPY, it didn’t actually execute premarket — the early timestamp is likely from the opening auction or how the broker reports the fill. The order was queued overnight and filled at the open. Also, market orders on options at the open are risky because spreads are very wide.

Market Whales and Their Recent Bets on TSM Options 12:02 PM ET 12/24/2025 | Benzinga TSM Investors with a lot of money to spend have taken a bullish stance on Taiwan Semiconductor (NYSE:TSM). And retail traders should know. We noticed this today when the trades showed up on publicly available options history that we track here at Benzinga. Whether these are institutions or just wealthy individuals, we don't know. But when something this big happens with TSM, it often means somebody knows something is about to happen. So how do we know what these investors just did? Today, Benzinga's options scanner spotted 44 uncommon options trades for Taiwan Semiconductor. This isn't normal.

My bad, I corrected myself. I meant to say if I see that stock is not doing well for 6-8 months, then I may relocate money. For example. I was buying and holding ET stock for few years. This year it is not doing well and lost about 10%. Back in July I slod 1/3 of my positions and bought MPLX. I think I made a proper move.

I will have to look into $AROC and $EFXT. I lazily picked $HAL because I owned & traded it quite successfully from 2021-2023. I prefer the pipeline stocks for natural gas. Natty gas futures fluctuate so much I'd prefer to just collect the toll paid to the pipeline stocks like $KMI and $ET who pay fat dividends.

drew-gen-x

I posted my bullish call on crude oil below. I also bought $KMI and $ET, which are diversified midstream natty gas & crude oil energy companies along with $HAL for crude oil & natty gas service & equipment infrastructure and $OXY as more of a pure crude oil position. Natty gas is very much a big part of my bullish call on the crude oil stocks. I know you are big into electrification. My point is the traditional energy names will be needed to build & maintain the electrification infrastructure needed for such an energy transformation. And historically all new major energy adoption names have supplemented and not replaced the prior era's main energy sources. They add to it since our energy consumption continues to explode exponentially.

There's nothing wrong with getting out of the way of this train wreck. I've done more buying the last 2 days than I have all year combined.

It maybe old school investing, but I have always liked investing in energy & gold. None of these Scam Altman AI circle jerk stocks can do a damn thing w/o being powered by energy.

They said alot of shit as you can see by their 2022 IPO. They said during that same presentation that everything has been going according to plan since the beginning, something I reacted on, because obviously it has not. Now, nothing ever goes to plan, which is normal, but acting like it does, is just weird. Everyone was expecting them to licens their chip blueprints. Now they going into HVM, thats a clear deviation from the original plan. [https://beammwave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/BeammWave\_ET.pdf](https://beammwave.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/BeammWave_ET.pdf) Mobiltelefontillverkare som exempelvis Samsung, Apple och Huawei har egen chiptillverkning vilket gör att även dessa är Bolagets potentiella kunder. BeammWave kommer att ha följande intäktskällor: engångsintäkter som erhålls vid uppstart av samarbete med en ny kund samt licensintäkter för chip och mjukvarualgoritmen. Uppstartskostnaden kan ses som ett projektarvode som varierar för respektive kund och avser täcka kostnader för support, utbildning samt överföring av designen. Licensavgifterna erhåller Bolaget i form av en royalty per sålt chip. Kundernas genomsnittliga försäljningspris per chip uppskattas till 1 USD där Bolaget förväntar sig att kunna erhålla 5–15 procent i licensavgift. Bolaget uppskattar att kunna börja generera projektarvoden under 2022 och licensintäkter i början av 2024. Bolagets affärsmodell kommer att utgå från en standard IP-licensieringsmodell där Bolaget säljer sin teknik till chiptillverkare. Dessa chiptillverkare producerar sedan chipen enligt Bolagets ”recept”, och säljer vidare till smartphonetillverkare. Bolaget kommer att generera intäkter i två faser. Den första i form av en uppstartsintäkt, som faktureras för att täcka kostnader avseende bland annat överföring av designen och utbildning kring BeammWaves teknik. I den andra fasen genereras intäkten i form av licensavgifter för de sålda chipen. Den mjukvara som krävs för Bolagets algoritmer för beamforming kommer också att licensieras enligt samma modell, både till de chiptillverkare som licensierar Bolagets chiplösning och i vissa fall direkt till smartphonetillverkare.

The new schedule would feature a "day session" (4 AM to 8 PM ET) and a "night session" (9 PM to 4 AM ET), with a one-hour break for maintenance. This push aims to capitalize on surging global demand for US equities and allow international investors to react instantly to news.

Everyone is waiting on something, been waiting months thats why things have been sideways for 2-3 months. Remember the government shut down??? kk I will just let google AI say it The key jobs data release for December is the **November Employment Situation report**, coming out on **Tuesday, December 16, 2025, at 8:30 AM ET**, delayed from its usual early-month slot due to prior government issues

Reuters reported at 2a ET - Exclusive: BOJ to pledge more rate hikes at next week's policy meeting, sources say. Why does it matter? Japanese yen was available at near-zero interest rates for years. You could borrow it and then invest it and pocket the difference between the return and the interest. This is the "carry trade." What is going wrong? The Bank of Japan has been trying to normalize the rates. It tried in August 2024, leading to a sudden "carry trade unwind" where borrowers have to undo their investments and pay back their yen. The exchange rate is part of the equation as well. If the yen suddenly weakens against other currencies, your investment gains can be wiped out by the currency exchange risk. The new government has pledged to spend more, which means some inflation pressure, which means more rate hikes incoming. It's not the only factor for the drop, but I think it does explain some of the more speculative assets unwinding first, and now the next wave (more recent AI gainers).

It's A lot of knowledge to know in options trading, which no one course or book summarizes together. Expect that before you learn how to trade options, you will also in the beginning, lose money. Be prepared for that. Paper money. Trading options on paper money will not give you the full scenario of what might happen with options trading, including after-market prices Hikes, or falls before 5:30 pm ET. Initially read the course on Charles Schwab's website Options Trading for Beginners.
