Lost about $5K on RIVN and LCID. Bought back when EVs were being pushed as the future. A dumbass, I am.

What about LCID?

NVDA self-driving AI Alpamayo probably bullish for LCID if it works well

ugarreddit

The main reason is if your covered calls get called and it’s not a retirement account, you have to pay taxes on your gains on the shares too, plus a reset of lot history if you want to buy back in. Share lending on an account can also help gauge short activity/velocity. Example: NEGG was around 1000% short interest for a few months (Aug-Oct), and eventually has cooled down. Shares never went out on loan anecdotally speaking. PACB was very heavily shorted and people got 30+% interest on shares leant. Right now: BYND is in double digits LCID is in double digits NFE is in triple digits All those went immediately on loan upon purchase settling, again anecdotally speaking, and are loaned out from what I heard from people, but these are also bad examples because they are highly speculative/risky.

That’s wild! PLTR definitely had a rollercoaster ride. Fingers crossed LCID pulls through for you soon.

bigwinw

I bought 75 shares of PLTR at $25. Maybe not risky anymore but it dropped to about $7 before rocketing to $160+ recently. LCID may be worse and more risky but I do hope there is some upside soon.

Most of my money went into ASTS and RKLB. I invested into some other growth companies I thought were interesting that basically all failed (or at least lost almost all value). Some have somewhat recovered by now but I sold for a large loss to recover what I could at the time. From what I remember, they were MVST (EV batteries, LICY (EV battery recycling), ORGN (green plastics), LCID (EV Car maker). I ended up making small amount of money, or at least only losing small amounts in SOFI and STEM.

Thanks for taking the time to respond to my points one by one. Let's start with SpaceX IPO. They recently sold at valuation of $800 billion so with $25 billion in revenue, that's a P/S of 32. Even if they do reach the $1.5 trillion circulated by some media outlet, that's still a P/S of 60. I will be the first to admit if I am wrong if it IPO's above $1 trillion. RKLB is still more expensive today that what SpaceX will IPO at in 2026. 1. You proved my point, they need to continue to raise money just to stay relevant whether to invest in R&D or acquire new tech/companies. 2. R&D will continue to be high, even after Neutron, just to keep pace. And until robots and AI can build space systems faster and more efficiently, the labor costs associated with building space systems and rockets will continue to eat at the margin. 3. Thank you. Yet they're trading with absolutely zero risk. Even TSM is trading at a discount because of its geopolitical risk. 4. The difference in the cost of Falcon9 (\~$65-$70 million) and Neutron (\~55 million) is not that wide for most companies when SpaceX can launch almost 200 times a year now from both coasts, and they're likely to drive launch costs lower and lower in the next few years. Can RKLB afford to compete head to head on cost alone, or availability? 5. ASTS can't afford to wait for RKLB (that's if Neutron is suitable for the 6500 kg satellites) and as far as New Glenn, Amazon and Blue Origin have more immediate plans for Kuiper. 6. I disagree, it may bring up more investors leading up to the IPO but most will flee once the real numbers behind SpaceX and Starlink, it won't make sense to own second fiddles, almost exactly like TSLA vs. RIVN/LCID.

Historical_Air_8997

You’re immediately wrong in the first sentence, then continue to be wrong with almost every point. To start SpaceX is aiming for an IPO at over 100x sales, so even though RKLB is expensive at 60x sales it’s still significantly cheaper than SpaceX. Also SpaceX is fairly mature and a few years away from the next big sales catalyst where RKLB is growing faster with Neutron coming soon giving it a big boost to sales, lower the valuation. 1. Space is expensive, can’t deny that. Doesn’t mean there will be constant dilution. RKLB is pretty forward about not wanting to dilute, though they did this year because of the valuation. Honestly it’d be dumb for them *not* to dilute at these valuations. But every sale of shares has a plan, like a merger or r&d it isn’t just selling to sell. 2. Yes space requires a lot of r&d but once they get there the expenses aren’t that crazy. RKLB especially, the r&d expense for neutron is about $300m. Neutron will be one of the fastest rockets to launch with the cheapest budget ever. Sure SpaceX has unlimited funding, but it also means they aren’t as thoughtful and careful about their designs. That has a benefit where they can blow shit up and find the fault, but is it really better than just having a good design from the start? 3. Sure this one is valid. Every company has risks but space is pretty damn hard. 4. RKLB is barely competing with SpaceX. SpaceX does heavy launch and eventually mega launch and small to medium more bespoke launches. Sorta like taking a bus vs a private car, SpaceX will get you to space with other customers (unless you pay full price to get it on your own) while RKLB will get YOU where you want to be at a cheaper overall price even tho it’s more expensive/kg. RKLB also is mostly space systems and is a leader there, something like 70-80% of space flights have RKLB systems. ASTS is competing more with SpaceX, but they have their own tech that is patented and deals with telecoms. So it may look like it’s tiny company vs SpaceX but it’s really a tiny company + the majority of telecoms vs a tiny part of SpaceX. 5. ASTS isn’t doing launch, they use SpaceX but don’t need them since RKLB exists. RKLB is a couple years behind SpaceX but the rate of development and launch cadence is significantly faster than SpaceX. In part due to SpaceX clearing the way, but regardless they’re on a better track with a lower budget and less failures. 6. SpaceX ipo will bring more investors into the industry. Currently space isn’t super popular so the more attention it gets the better it is for everyone. Your comparison in EVs isn’t the same, RKLB has a successful and growing business and is the leader in space systems. Rivn was always a shit company with hardly any sales and super expensive product. LCID is a hype company riding Tesla’s coattails. RKLB and asts are established before SpaceX was super popular and before the ipo. Maybe do some research before talking out of your ass

Have seen on LCID in my life. Great looking car. Went by their NYC showroom the other day and it was super empty...

EV buyers are also looking for options given Elon Musk's right leaning inclinations and rates coming down could lead to increased auto purchases. LCID also catching a tailwind recently...

I am going to keep my eye on LCID. Nothing to do with ChatGPT. It’s just all set for a squeeze and there cars are really nice but to pricey to turn a profit. 60% short and nice market cap.

PersonalityFluid67

After while, washed hands of Rivian. Tiny gain (but flat due to what cash interest would earn) I think that cheap Bezos backed SLATE co is gonna rock the US EV market. TSLA will be fine, but RIVN may as well already be a penny stock, and LCID, lol...they may already be bankrupt.

reaper527

these companies are in DRASTICALLY different situations from one another. LCID is a bad company that isn't profitable and will likely never be profitable, and only still exists because of saudi backing. ADBE is a company that was basically a monopoly in its sector but has its future called into question due to ai and how that will change the world UPS is just perfectly fine.

Holding both. More in LCID though. Great cars

Did you put your money in LCID and watching? Or some other SPAC?

FrostingInfamous3445

Think more like LCID, BYND, PRPL, etc. It’ll have the sharp cliff drop, but most of the downside will be a years-long bleed out. If you can catch the cliff then great.

Technical analysis is not something to rely on in a vacuum. And it appears you were looking at a very, very short timeframe. If you zoom out to a 1 candle = 1 day chart, you can see a clear downtrend in all the technicals this entire month. That was dangerous to bet against. Looking at some basic OI info, or even it translated into NAIVE-GEX can be more useful, even if NAIVE-GEX is rather flawed. You still get some solid information on where support and resistance can end up being based on what MMs have on their books. The two largest NAIVE GEX exposures for dealers for 10/31 are at $17 for puts, and $19.5 for calls. That makes it a reasonable bet that $LCID stays within that window by the end of the week. If the NAIVE assumption is correct, the positive GEX at $19.5 means dealers would be long calls there, meaning customers are short those calls on a bet that we don't go higher than that before 10/31. What's more, is large positive GEX for dealers, it can both act as a magnet to pull price towards it day of expiration, but also simultaneously act as resistance once we get there, as MM hedging requirements would mean they would need to sell some stock if we challenge their options exposure there. The problem with NAIVE models is it makes a broad assumption that most calls are sold short by customers and most puts are bought by customers, meaning MMs/dealers are the counterparty, so their position is opposite: dealers long calls, short puts. The reality is of course much different, and a lot more difficult/expensive information to come by accurately. When you're right at or out of the money, that's the highest amount of extrinsic value you can have. If price action doesn't put your option well into the money, that extrinsic value just gets decayed away to 0 by expiration and there's no intrinsic value. With that being said, there is an outside chance we end the week near $19.5, putting your $19 calls very slightly in the money, but you will still lose that trade as most of that contract's value is still extrinsic that goes to 0. In the future, try zooming out more, and maybe at least get used to looking at NAIVE GEX, especially if a service offers it by individual expiration. You can at least pick out a rough idea of support and resistance zones. Then, after that, do some homework into hedging your trades. If you had a decent feel that price was going to go up to a specific level and then stop, or at least pause at a specific price, buy the option that you expect price to go THRU, and sell the option(s) short where you expect price to stop, or at least find support/resistance for awhile and continue to decay. So, as an example, if you saw the large dealer exposure at 19.5 on LCID this week and we happened to be trading closer to $17 when you saw that, I would buy the $17 call, and sell the $19.5. Or, do a butterfly to capture more decay which could also allow you to move up your long strike a little since you're collecting more premium from the 2 short contracts, buying the $18 call, selling 2 $19.5 calls, buying a $21 call to complete the hedge of being short 2x at 19.5. Buying or naked selling singles is how most of us lose money when starting out trading options and being directionally incorrect, or just not getting a big enough move to offset the decay. These multi-leg trades combined with some info on likely stop/pivot points will go a long way towards helping your longevity in trading options. Won't get wiped out so easily.

UBER, NOK, LCID. Full on NVDIA day. They are taking full advantage of a potential TSLA meltdown lol.

Original-Success1950

This is all very valuable information. I read the article you sent, and let me say it's pretty validating with some other stuff I've heard on podcasts like the Option Alpha podcast and some gut feelings I had regarding how it seems that with the rise of retail investors like ourselves, some thought has to be put into how we may affect stocks based on news. I'm going to see if I can get my hands on the full thing for free or purchase it. I tend to get bogged down in analyzing a company's numbers (which is important, I know), and I tend to get analysis paralysis, which makes me hold out on making trades. Even if the chart looks good and shows a promising performance, along with numbers like the P/E, PEG, and EPS. I recently started using ThinkorSwim on Schwab, so I'll have to see if I can do the same thing you showed with the charts. That actually really cuts to my original question on how to identify potential stocks to invest in. I started looking into ETFs and how they've been performing, and let me tell you, I definitely neglected them too much. My current YTD return on my portfolio is 25.13% (pretty decent for a pure stock play IMO), but I definitely could have done better if I'd paid more serious attention to ETFs as well. I actually sold my first CC earlier this month on some QUBT stock I own and made a decent return after I bought it back. I was just having trouble understanding what you meant by 80-Delta. I actually took the last two days to go over my Greeks again. So now I understand the PMCC way better, and it honestly seems like a money maker with the right underlying and correct thesis. Thank you for the breakdown! I actually started PaperTrading on ToS on some QQQ, SQQQ, and TQQQ ETFs expiring on the 31st and 7th to see if this current momentum on the NASDAQ will "pay off" with the anticipation of the Trump and Xi meeting on Thursday. Next, I'm going to try some LEAPS married to weekly and monthly CCs once I do a bit more research on stocks and ETFs. The news today about NVIDIA and LCID partnership seems promising. What trades did you end up doing this week?

Gotta zoom out to all time for LCID to have a laugh! Too many "investors" are chasing the mythical squeeze with the zeal that Ahab had for Moby Dick!

ServerTechie

They are down 81% in 5 years. They had a 1 for 10 reverse stock split to avoid becoming a penny stock, typically an act of desperation. They can barely manufacture enough cars and there have been reports of issues. I acknowledge their cars have amazing horsepower and miles per charge, but this company is not looking good. I lost a lot of money in their early days because I put too much faith in their tech, and I’m glad I sold when I did because it only kept getting worse. LCID is a terrible stock, just sell and put it behind you

staunch_character

During COVID anything that was in any way linked to electric vehicles went to the moon. TSLA obviously, but also NIO, LCID & scams like NKLA, weird companies with concept cars but 0 production etc. It didn’t crash as much as slowly faded & kept on dipping as everyone rushed into AI. Eventually a new shiny industry will pop up.

Oh wait, I was going to do my write up for LCID. I think I'll do that today.

I’m long $LCID because I like my EVs like I like my tendies. Rare, expensive, and hard to get. You want safety? Buy Toyota. You want *asymmetric upside with a chance of total obliteration*? Welcome to Lucid, baby.

buttericecream

LCID write-up coming soon. My position’s real, my conviction’s questionable, and my future is probably meme fodder. See you all on the moon, or in the comments roasting me when this ages like milk.

buttericecream

It’s a finer, more elegant car in many ways, and while its technology isn’t the same as Tesla’s, I’m perfectly fine with that. Elon Musk may have the loudest voice in the room, but that doesn’t mean he’s the one who built the brilliance behind Tesla. If Lucid can capture even a fraction of that engineering excellence *without* the chaos and cult of personality, that’s a win. LCID isn’t there yet, but it’s positioned exactly where it needs to be to scale up.

buttericecream

Hear me out... LCID. Gonna make a heavy bullish play on this one and let it ride for a couple years.

Trump admin might buy stakes in quantum computing firms. Michael Klein merged and "IPOed" 5 different companies including OKLO and LCID. He sits on boards of both firms. Went to UPenn. Was head of Credit Suisse US, head of Citibank Investment banking, involved at Chatham House, served as special advisor to UK Prime Minister during 2008 financial crisis. Dudes a billionaire. Gotta be who Trump hands a bunch of govt cash to.

If they are OTM, there will be no bids and you won't be able to sell. Are they ITM or OTM? Note, you can't tell simply by comparing the spot price of LCID to the strike price anymore. You have to use the formula in the memo, LCID1 = 0.10 (LCID). [https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=57169](https://infomemo.theocc.com/infomemos?number=57169) So with LICD at 19.63, calls (I'm assuming your options are calls, though you didn't say) with strikes below 1.96 are ITM, and strikes above 1.96 are OTM. To see at what price your calls will be ITM/OTM, plug your strike into LCID1 in the formula and solve for LCID. (In other words, multiply your strike by 10.)

buffy0123

LCID is the ticker and my contracts have been renamed as LCID1. I’m in a small profit margin and my options don’t expire for at least another half year but my concern is if I wait longer no one will want to buy the contracts even if they’re profitable because of the reverse split and decreased liquidity unless I’m misunderstanding something… just looking for advice.

Ah, how quickly people forgot about the last SPAC cycle, LCID hit like 50+, now it sits at 2 (pre reverse split), a huge number of SPACS dropped to 1-2$ after the mergers, you guys are going to get fucking destroyed.
