i need a winner stock please smth that is about to run and not already has (no bynd or dfli or FLG or femy)
SOFI, SLB, HPQ, INTC, FLG, CTRA, PATH, FCX, LCID, MRNA Top ten AH trading rn
Whoever said hold FLG months ago was right if you like regular old boring money
I followed Steve Mnuchin into NYCB aka FLG and made good money several times
FLG’s earnings Friday are the perfect setup for degenerates, regards. The market expects a dumpster fire, so if they just lose less than expected and show even a whiff of turnaround momentum, this thing rips. The new sales army they hired is already swinging, and with that dirt-cheap price-to-book (P/B), even a small surprise could send shorts running for cover. The best part? The low-cost options are basically lottery tickets—if this pops, you’re looking at a potential 10x bagger. TLDR: Bar is in hell, FLG just has to trip forward and we print tendies.
FLG is 22.85% of float shorted. Company is just about back to profitability and is executing a successful turnaround. Was originally new York community bank
FLG long calls https://preview.redd.it/i09x1p3bq59f1.jpeg?width=411&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=abceae612cd59cb82fe7ccf45fe5f22807fa3ed8
My best that was actually in reasonable size was recent, it was $2.00 FUBO leaps purchased in November of last year. Been a really good year so far where 33/41 of my options trades are profitable and the gains outsize losses by 4 times (I just checked last week for the first time in the year). FUBO was trading at a dirt cheap multiple and trajectory was steadily improving. It had what I viewed as two major catalysts: FCF positive/net income positive, and the lawsuit settlement with Disney that was poised to payout even more than the company was attributed in market cap. Made sense to conserve capital, accept a defined loss and grab the leaps instead of shares, if anything was to happen it would be likely in 6 months but I gave it a year, Just early in the year it hit and I sold off the calls when the stock was $5.00 for a 1350% gain. Cumulatively the most profitable stocks that I trade in order are SU, DIS, PARA, and FLG, with both calls and puts. Not necessarily quality companies but when it comes to trading (not investing and holding) I don't care much lol. I've hit even crazier gains percentage wise with shorter dates but I size as if it's going to zero and as if it's a longshot so cumulatively dollar wise it isn't much.
Keep an eye on $FLG, see how munchkins banks makes put.
what's your strike/exp? FLG has popped up within a couple of the groups im in over the last couple months or so. I'm intrigued.
I’m already short FLG based on their huge delinquent loan portfolio. 6.2% of their loans are delinquent. Banks only have capital ratios in the teens, that means nearly have the capital/equity/cushion is at stake. They are near collapse but no one is talking about it. Given I have puts, it will probably go up 10% tomorrow.
Look into shorting FLG, aka NYCB, it will be the 1st bank collapse, last year they were injected with $1 billion, it has since disappeared, and then some more of the market cap. Steven Munich was a big part of that injection. Look for a 1/2026 expire
I'm at 9 bagging my options account in three months now. Courtesy of PARA, DIS, FUBO, FLG, SU, GTX, NBIS, SMCI, and some Canadian commodity short puts from Trump. Probably my best run ever so far before I move the cash. Still makes only like 2.5% of my portfolio but when it hits 5% I pull it out a bunch, never done it so quickly though. Don't think just buying calls on NVDA is a great idea, you want to diversify and play some different angles. Huge chance of failure doing that. In around 60ish trades I've had 5 losses, if I went all in on those I'd be cleaned out. No actual recommendations.
This expiration is the sole expiration remaining after an options adjustment when the company (then trading as NYCB) underwent a reverse split: [https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=54926](https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=54926) If you were to exercise an 8 strike call, you would pay $800, and in return receive 33 shares plus $3.39 cash. With FLG at 12.82, that is a total value of 33 x 12.82 + 3.39 = $426.45. So an 8 strike call is OTM, which is how Thinkorswim, correctly, displays it.
So I see this option chain that is 33/100(US$ 3.39) for FLG in Think or swim. What is that? I've never seen it before. Does that mean that if I had a $8 call I can exercise for 33 shares at $8?
FLG is rocketing  pray to god my leap year options pay off
[https://www.americanbanker.com/list/20-u-s-banks-with-the-largest-commercial-real-estate-loan-volume](https://www.americanbanker.com/list/20-u-s-banks-with-the-largest-commercial-real-estate-loan-volume) If this list is accurate, looks like FLG and VLY both have around 40% of their total assets in commercial real estate loans... OZK upward of 55%. FLG already having a tough year. Could be worth a flier.
Your options change to the symbol FLG1. They still have the 10 strike price, but they now only deliver 33 shares of FLG and some cash. You didn't end up with 3x your calls, you have the same number of calls, only the deliverable changed. So, if you were to exercise your 10 FLG1 calls, you would pay $1,000 and receive 33 shares of FLG (worth about $356 and $3.39 in cash. This makes your calls far out of the money, and why there is no bid for them, (market currently no bid/.05) Here are the relevant OCC memos, [https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=55423](https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=55423) [https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=54926](https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=54926)
This is a nothingburger. Banks don't have to sell their underwater assets, as they're flush with liquidity. And every time the Fed cuts rates (which is pretty much every meeting going forward), the bank paper losses are reduced. Also, deposits are growing again. Additionally, Basel 3 Endgame capital requirements aren't going to kick in until July 2025 and is \_significantly\_ less jarring than originally proposed: [https://www.thebanker.com/US-banks-welcome-Basel-endgame-victory-as-Fed-loosens-requirements-1726047399](https://www.thebanker.com/US-banks-welcome-Basel-endgame-victory-as-Fed-loosens-requirements-1726047399) They've all also been preparing for the better part of a year and half for potential CRE failures since the collapse of SVB. That includes deleveraging and risk-reduction and hoarding liquidity. Worst case, you might have one or two smaller banks with usually large CRE exposure (like NYCB, now FLG) go into a period of distress. Big banks are perfectly fine, as are most regionals. And all that is assuming the Fed doesn't step in to backstop them in the event of an emergency, which they've already shown they're willing to do anyways.
