Oh yeah. 100% works till it doesnβt. Iβd never double down on short dated options (Iβd just take the L and have plenty), but with Jan 2027, I figured thereβs a higher chance than not of HOOD rallying. Anyways! π€ for HOOD to $100 next week so I can sell!
HOOD gonna print
I personally keep a tighter stop loss on stocks that have hit my target and had massive runs. If I get stopped out I may throw more cash in for a swing trade, however I don't like long term investing in stocks that have already broken out. I did rotate into some beaten down stocks late Thursday like NOW, MSFT, HOOD, and SOFI to try to catch a rotation. It depends on your investment thesis though. If long term investing then deploying capital at specific increments seems smart as the normal ups and downs of the short term market don't matter as much. For me my long term investment is my 401k. My Robinhood account is short/mid term trading. Not financial advice, I'm regarded.
Same! Was down 60% at one point but double down 4 times and now Iβm up 50%. Iβll probably sell when HOOD hits $100 this week and hold onto my shares longer. Iβm cool with 70-100% profit after being down so much.
HOOD is the cleaner ticker here, not BULL or whatever sympathy basket people start chasing. The rule change hits the exact behavior Robinhood monetizes: small accounts, options, margin, and people checking the app every five minutes. I still wouldn't buy weekly OTM calls off the headline. The phase-in window is the catch, so this is more of a multi-quarter activity thesis than a June 4 instant moon switch. If you want another shortlist for DD: [https://catsofws.com/](https://catsofws.com/) Good thesis, bad place to get greedy on timing.
I have way too many calls in NOW, ADBE, TSLA, HOOD, and TQQQ
Your assessment of Robinhood is spot on. For HOOD, options aren't just a bigger bucket; they are the high-margin engine driving transaction revenue. When you compare this dynamic to **Webull**, the fundamental mechanics of their revenue models are incredibly similar, but their user demographics and structural layout create a different operational leverage. Here is how Webull stacks up against the Robinhood breakdown you highlighted. # 1. The Core Similarity: Heavy Reliance on Options PFOF Just like Robinhood, Webullβs primary transaction-based revenue engine is **Payment for Order Flow (PFOF)**, and the broad economics of the retail brokerage industry dictate that options are vastly more lucrative than equities (Bryzgalova et al., 2023). * **The Spread Disadvantage/Broker Advantage:** Wholesalers pay retail brokerages significantly higher PFOF rates for options because the bid-ask spreads on retail options (especially highly active, short-term weekly contracts) are substantially wider than those of standard equities (Bryzgalova et al., 2023). * **The Revenue Mix:** Academic and industry reviews of retail PFOF data show that across platforms reliant on this model (including Robinhood and Webull), options order flow routinely accounts for the lion's share of total transaction-based intake, even if the absolute number of accounts trading equities is higher (Bryzgalova et al., 2023). # 2. Strategic Divergences: Robinhood vs. Webull While both rely heavily on options to monetize trading activity, the way a Pattern Day Trader (PDT) regulatory change waves through their financial statements differs due to how each platform is positioned: |**Feature / Revenue Driver**|**Robinhood (HOOD)**|**Webull**| |:-|:-|:-| |**User Demographics & Behavior**|Broad retail base; historically heavily skewed toward simpler UX, though expanding aggressively into advanced tools.|Attracts a more intermediate-to-advanced technical retail trader who demands advanced charting, indicators, and short-selling capabilities.| |**Sensitivity to PDT Changes**|High explosive potential. Because Robinhood has a massive total user base, lifting or modifying PDT restrictions mobilizes a large cohort of latent day traders.|Exceptionally high velocity. Webullβs existing user base is already primed for high-turnover active trading; relaxing PDT rules directly scales their existing core user habits.| |**Margin & Cash Movement (Second-Order)**|Massive driver via **Robinhood Gold** subscriptions and competitive net interest income (NII) on uninvested cash.|Driven heavily by **Margin Interest Rates** and short-selling fees (stock lending), catering to traders utilizing leverage.| |**Alternative Transaction Mix**|Heavily exposed to Crypto volatility and a growing "Other" bucket driven by prediction markets/event contracts.|Focuses strictly on core multi-asset class trading (equities, options, futures) with historically less emphasis on domestic event contracts.| # 3. The Second-Order Effects: Margin vs. Subscriptions If a regulatory shift or a product change drives highly active trading, the second-order benefits manifest differently on each balance sheet: * **Webullβs Leverage Engine:** Webull's platform structure inherently nudges users toward margin accounts to execute complex option spreads and short equity positions. Therefore, increased trading velocity for them translates immediately into **margin interest revenue** and borrowing fees. * **Robinhoodβs Sticky Subscriptions:** While Robinhood also captures massive net interest income on margin, they have successfully monetized the *readiness* to trade via premium tiers (Robinhood Gold). Active traders on HOOD feed into a subscription ecosystem that stabilizes their revenue even when market volumes temporarily dip. # The Takeaway If a regulatory change allows retail investors to trade more actively without hitting the PDT wall, **options remain the critical battleground for both companies**. However, while Robinhood relies on its massive scale, gamified simplicity, and diversified "other" revenues (like event contracts) to monetize that activity, Webull represents a concentrated bet on pure trading velocity, technical charting engagement, and margin utilization.
Options is the bigger bucket than equities for HOOD right now. In Q1 2026, Robinhood reported $623M in transaction-based revenue: $260M from options, $134M from crypto, $82M from equities, and $147M from βother transaction revenue,β mostly event contracts. So if the PDT change drives more active trading, options activity is probably the most important piece for HOOD, with margin/cash movement as the second-order benefit.
PDT never applied to perps anyway so I just HOOD as a stock perp via markets xyz .or hold shares and wait
Yes, Iβm long HOOD (shares), just saying another leg down on crypto could wreck your calls before those catalysts get anywhere. Calls expire; shares do not, and theta slowly erodes the calls to the point where even a significant share price increase could leave you in the red at expiry. Β
If I were holding HOOD calls and heavily green, Iβd sell and buy shares. Their valuation is heavily correlated with crypto, which is in a downward trend.Β Iβm also often wrong.Β
Margin calls probably make HOOD money, long term. Theyβre essentially buying low to sell high later.Β
SPX/SPY not on the list but honestly makes zero sense they'd skip those when they're including stuff like HOOD. Maybe they're rolling it out in phases or something
Exactly! Removing PDT will have zero effect on the price of HOOD.
This is a big nothing burger. Folks with less than 25K can (and always could) daytrade as much as they want in a cash account. Removing the PDT rules won't have nearly the effect you think it will and it certainly won't move the move the stock price of HOOD.
What led you to buying HOOD calls? What else are you planning to go in on?
I hope youβre right, because Iβm balls deep with 32 Jan 2027 $100 calls and 600 shares. I was tempted to take my profits on the calls last Friday, but Iβm hoping HOOD will hit $100 this upcoming week. Then Iβll sell but hold onto my shares. Iβm fine with 100% profit on options that I was down 60% on at one point.
HOOD to $150 by end of June.
This is actually a solid thesis, not just βnumber go upβ wishful thinking. Removing the PDT pain for small accounts is literally Robinhoodβs core demographic, so even a slow phase in should = more churn, more options YOLOs, more order flow to sell. Not an overnight catalyst, but if youβre long HOOD, this is exactly the kind of structural tailwind you want quietly lining up in the background.
Agreed. BULL probably benefits from the same rule change. HOOD is the larger platform, but BULL could be the higher-beta version because Webull is more directly tied to active traders. Smaller market cap means it can swing harder both ways.
Options is the bigger bucket than equities for HOOD right now. In Q1 2026, Robinhood reported $623M in transaction-based revenue: $260M from options, $134M from crypto, $82M from equities, and $147M from βother transaction revenue,β mostly event contracts. So if the PDT change drives more active trading, options activity is probably the most important piece for HOOD, with margin/cash movement as the second-order benefit.
my HOOD price target is 120/130..... this will run up next coming weeks, also SOFI around 33/35

HOOD predictions for end of june?
Made money on asstits today. Canβt even remember the option flipped. Thanks HOOD.
HOOD was a clear play for the past several months. UBER is next. Just go with the obvious play and put the options months out
Why not both π I allocate ~60% to shit like VOO, ~25% to individual "safe" stocks (eg GOOG), and ~15% to calculated risks (eg HOOD). So far has paid off well while capping my overall risk. Idk why people act like you have to choose between low and high risk, just choose a proportion that suits your personal risk tolerance but that will not destroy your entire life if you're wrong
Imagine not yoloing into HOOD today
Buy HOOD like everyone else right now.

Sold $HOOD calls for $20k+ gains ty HOOD
I'm truly retarded. I need NOW at $140, HPE at $47, HOOD at $100 and MSFT at $460 by next week or I'm screwed. LMAO what is wrong with me
All good in the HOOD. And I still see what youβre doing there RBRK, you sneaky bitch.
Circling back. The HOOD leaps are up 150% total, stocks up 20% this week.Β Something something 50 years, something something beat SPY
Dude. Thank you. Right after this i bought a HOOD call. It's up. Hope you took your own advice
I could understand your losses on DUOL, NFLX, and HOOD. But, SNDK??? That's like the hottest one this year, and you took a loss?
Rolled my HOOD bags to 2027, still red but much lighter, thanks Donnie!
I dunno about others, but HOOD does partial fills if the ask drop only includes a portion of your order. The remainder of your limit order remains in place.Β
What a good day for my RDDT and HOOD structured products, +60% in 2 days π₯°
Was bagholding HOOD for so long I even did DoorDash to make some $$$. HOOD $150 by June thanks
HOOD reclaims the 330MA with volume... SOFI almost tested the 330MA from below... RDDT closes decisively above the 330MA from below, IBM smashes the 330MA from below 6 days ago, GOOG getting used as liquidity to broaden the rally. If you are still bearish... please explain to me how you plan to stay bearish after this week. The 330 is where a lot of institutional attention is focused... everything has been early up until now. After today its going to get wild. The momentum algos are going to eat this shit up and start deploying real money.
SOFI, HOOD, and MSFT up... what kind of eod is this?
Finally HOOD woke up today. On to 150?
Port up 36k this week thanks to....HOOD and RDDT?
LOL at people who SHORTED $HOOD, $RDDT, $PLTR
Just like that HOOD is $90+ I thot I told yaaaa
Itβs not a huge deal, because I never use anywhere near all of my margin, but it is something Iβd have to factor into my continuous risk analysis in my margin account. And I have to wonder why HOOD thinks it is so high risk. Might be because it just got listed on HOOD. I think Iβve seen new ETFs get that maintenance ratio when they were new.Β
HOOD still so undervalued with this news
HOOD and Capital One both regarded enough to give people like me high credit card limits π bullish
Fuck, so awful. Now Iβm only up 80% on my HOOD leaps I bought two days ago π‘
Wondering too. Damn to think I looked at calls in the morning for HOOD
why did $HOOD and $PLTR moon today?
Why HOOD SOFI RDDT going up? Sector rotation?
Does one sell HOOD after holding for 3 months in the red and finally in the green?
You were trading with your last 400 and it clearly got to you causing you to sell. That's really a normal feeling so you should probably wait until you have enough cash that it won't cause you to emotionally trade options. Options is more akin to gambling so I wouldn't ever play with money that you can't stand to lose. If you had bought HOOD shares instead anytime recently you'd be up like 30% and wouldn't have had that kind loss swing. Your idea was correct, your emotions got you.
HOOD is the way. no AI bubble bs, just an infinite future of regards sponsored by the US govt. what other DD do you need?
Iβll humor you and mention other stocks I got for her and holds to this day: ASTS at $25, HOOD at $40, PLTR at $44, Alphabet at $123. The only one I screwed her with was SOFI at $22 lmao.
Why is $HOOD up so much?.
Where the fuck my HOOD rats at?
Somehow messed up the HOOD run up after bagholding for 3 months rip.......fuck covered calls
why did HOOD trend so high today?? anyone know?
hey. sorry about that. in the future never risk more than you are afraid to lose. on the 15min chart, HOOD pulled back to the EMA 20 and then continued the trend of the opening 15min candle. If you get technical, you could have waited for the candle to start a downtrend under the EMA 50 before calling it a loss. but also, be okay with losing all your risk and you will never panic sell.
HOOD pls go past 110 so I can exit this shit. Never buying a stock linked to bitcoinβs price ever again
Sold my HOOD calls this morning at a 50% loss, if I held I'd be up to $4000. Instead I went from 400-> my last 200. How do you deal with the pain of this stuff, genuinely? This is now my last $200.
Is HOOD still a worthy play for calls? 150c 3 weeks
Selling all but Reddit, NBIS, AMKR and HOOD
HOOD helping people move out of the hood
of fucking course the one time I'm responsible and take profits (without rolling at all), I miss out on 30k in gains the next day (HOOD and NOW)
Whatβs the news on HOOD?
I would love someone to call out a ticker that HASNT already popped. You can stop shouting HOOD and RDDT. We have eyes.
Been saying since morning, yβall sleeping on $HOOD still
In case anyone was curious, MU is fucking dead and NOW, HOOD, and IBM are our best friends
Donny please post something for HOOD, my bags are almost breaking even LOL
I'm genuinely going to be sick, I held 8 $89c for HOOD down 50% this morning, my last bit of money ($400). It's worth $3k now.
Finally my HOOD, RDDT and MSFT bags are getting lighter
Made back my losses thank you $HOOD
HOOD goes down and my puts do NOTHING????
HOOD talks going well with LEATHER JACKETS
Stared at HOOD 90 calls at that pullback this morning....FML
