*A LOT* of you guys weren’t here during 🥭’s first term, and it shows. LOL
"Compounded daily, paid monthly" is a fairly standard way of doing it. Simple spreadsheet should be able to pull that off -- be sure to track a LOT of decimal places!
> We have a stronger currency and are a richer country. We should have a trade deficit with everyone. Especially since our main international sales are for digital services and military equipment, things not calculated into trade deficit. Also, trade deficits don't factor for services. We sell a LOT to other countries. That's why the EU was contemplating tariffing Netflix and Amazon.
IF the senate and house remain split like they have been Elmo could get just a few seats and be the decider of any vote that doesn't require a supermajority. That's a LOT of power.
Considering valuations, you also have to understand there's A LOT more individuals, groups, and capital all chasing after the same returns. From simple economics, you can see how increased demand for the same supply is naturally going to lead to higher prices/pe ratios.
He's loved by Dems for funding a spoiler party. And a LOT of deficit hawks will go his way. This will be fun to watch if anything comes of it.
But you’ve forgotten the BBBY bagholder. You can feel A LOT better after remembering ~~me~~ them.
no please start another party that will suck away a significant portion of votes from the R side and almost none from the D side, that's a great idea we love that idea a LOT! please do it melon!
Personally the reason I dont make A LOT is not having the balls to all in on my favorite stocks
Your statements imply you to not understand what investing means. The return you're expecting is not guaranteed. It's more like a "prediction" based on past performance. There have been years where the return was negative, meaning your principle amount decreased. This is just the beginning. There are A LOT of books and videos to explain further.
It would only be valid if 100% of your buying was from 100% imported sources, or if you plan to dump US currency and move somewhere else to like, live. For buying power You would need a metric of how much of your spending is affected by the weaker dollar. That said, Americans use imported goods A LOT and so this number is going to pretty significant
No I think what he means is there’s a LOT of money to be made on getting retail traders to trade options and all it takes is some bots or photoshop
Gotchu None of ur stocks matter because the de-dolarization is ramping up, and everyone’s dollars are going to be worthless. RH’s large scale asset tokenization was the first major step in a direction of universal token currency, which the US will use to make the wealthy a LOT wealthier, and free themselves from the debt ridden dollar. Also we’re gonna be convinced to drink cockroach milk and consume low nutrient foods (worse than today) as the select few have access to nutrient filled foods. Market’s are too overheated and it looks like they’ll correct before the end of the year by >15%, once, and then maybe once more. Suspicious electrical blackouts, wild fires, political unrest in the US and universities in the west going bankrupt is what lies ahead. Or none of this will happen idk 🤷♂️ . Good luck, hopefully I’m wrong
Suckers. The USA is screwed. Not just a little bit but a LOT.
seen that a LOT with conservatives: "I got mine, fuck my children and grandchildren"
after how they behaved with the whole Hindenberg situation, I have absolutely 0 trust in SEBI. Jane Street would have compliance lawyers up the wazoo, the likeliest answer with the past conduct of the two entities involved here, Jane Street and SEBI, is that SEBI is acting on behalf of someone powerful that JS pissed off. If they want to convince me otherwise, they need to get a LOT more specific than a vague press release. But they don't care what I or anyone else thinks.
The Atlanta Fed has consistently been wrong, A LOT.
Above it says they worked with Merrill Lynch but the copy says >with the help of a former Merrill Lynch financial advisor, So is the Merrill Lynch connection being played up because everyone knows that name or were they actually working there at the time? I am guessing Merrill Lynch has a LOT of financial advisors.
This happens a LOT, especially with the uncertainty in the general market. NVDA does the same shyte. I am holding, and have a Limit Buy Order in if this dips to $0.90 for another bag.
AEON- I've been doing A LOT of research into this company lately. They just triggered a golden cross last night. Their botulinum toxin (ABP-450) has shown positive Phase 2 data for chronic migraines and cervical dystonia. These are legitimate billion-dollar markets.Price targets from analysts and momentum traders suggest 700–900% upside if things go right.
The other problem is that the big pickup trucks in USA exist only because of a loophole that doesn't exist in other countries. If you have a system that disincentives large displacements and bad fuel consumption it becomes really expensive to buy and use them. USA has it opposite, it is cheaper to buy bigger vehicles because they enjoy from exceptions meant to incentivize work vehicles. Which also exist in other countries, it is generally cheaper to buy a vehicle that is meant for work, like vans and cheap pickup trucks without any luxury stuff. USA just refused to plug that loophole because of lobbyism and now people are up in arms if you try to fix an obvious problem. There are a LOT of these things. US semi-trucks are 20 years late compared to EU trucks, and they are SO HUGE that they can't fit into any other country. So, they can't export but also, no one can import because of NONSENSICAL emission standards that do not care about the emissions as much as how those emissions are lowered. It is practically impossible to sell imported semi-trucks in USA, you got to build them in USA and you have to deliberately make your products worse. It is a rabbit hole on its own, how far behind US trucking industry really is. Europe has had to compete and improve, for ex sound in the cabin, ride comfort, safety features, fuel economy, power are in another level. Many of the things in new US trucks have been phased out decades ago elsewhere. This is what insular markets do. That is also what tariffs do, unless very, very carefully adjusted to be just right to promote just enough of your own industry while not allowing it to capture the customers: competition from abroad can be a bit more expensive but if it is miles better people will buy them. Stopping entirely means less competition and cartels.
Separate from the investing piece, 10-15 years is A LOT of time with how fast paced the world is changing. In 10-15 years they may have major breakthroughs that would allow him to lead a normal life. On the flip side, we could all just get nuked so who really knows if it’s worth it.
I haven’t done a ton of research on the humanoid side. North American manufacturers have been using robotics for 30 years now. We just aren’t as saturated like China, which has a LOT more manufacturing than here.
Maybe I’m regarded but I’ve purchased A LOT of shares.
Hyundai makes a LOT of EV's and also owns Boston Dynamics.
#ISAAC wasnt poor #it was said he should have been paid a LOT more #considering his great work for humanity #but he was living good #in a house #nice clothes #in those times that's a lot
The collapsing dollar is doing a LOT of lifting for the stock market, you can tell serious pundits from famous idiots by whether they mention it while discussing the rally.
Torcross Capital being involved is a huge red flag; they have a long track record of toxic financing. With these back to back convertibles, this looks a LOT like stacked financing. I will not be touching this ticker.
In pennystocks, a few cents can be a LOT
One of the reasons the CHF as major currency is strong at those low rates is because they do (and did) A LOT less money creation compared to USD, EUR, JPY...
"Worked a LOT" with 500 asterisks and footnotes.
Worked A LOT or rich parents or grandparents. It doesn’t matter. This guy’s got balls to that much options lol
Why would they make a deal after 3 months of not making a deal? Because, other than lunatics like Donald Trump, world leaders actually take time to work out the details of trade negotiations. And there are a LOT of details to work out, as well as competing political factors jockeying for control over the final outcomes. 90 days is a rather short timeframe for that kind of process, but the point is that it doesn't make any sense to assume that they wouldn't want to sign a deal just because they haven't yet. I feel like you probably shouldn't be trying to time markets if this is the level of depth of your understanding.
They don't care what happens as long as they can trade their power for money. And being handing the keys to America lets you cash in a LOT of it
I was downvoted yesterday when I said I will sell naked NVDA strike 180 calls (yeah, a LOT of those) at the first pump of the day. Well, I did and got out with a tidy profit. Total trade time less than 3 hours. It is not about being bool or ber. It is about being correct a bit more frequently than being wrong - and position size.
Jesus dude. Do you think before you post? I said, in summary, that a weak dollar increases demand for US products overseas and companies, like Apple, Cisco, Salesforce, Nvidia, and A LOT of others will benefit from that. Both with increases in revenue and profits. I made zero comment on any of the other things that you listed because they were not RELEVANT to my point. I ALSO said that a weak dollar has negative consequences, ***but all of the consequences are NOT negative***. See the paragraph directly above this one for those NOT NEGATIVE consequences. Now, if you have some evidence or proof that what I said in paragraph 1 is not accurate, I'm more than happy to have that conversation. And if you have something to teach me on it that changes my understanding, then I'm always happy to learn. As it stands, you continue to make irrelevant comments to me complaining about things that are off topic, or things I didn't say that weren't (again) RELEVANT to my initial comment. And don't try to tell me what does or does not "register" with me. I'm not playing your "change the subject every two seconds until I'm right" game. By the way, I haven't said you are WRONG on anything, I feel I need to spell that out specifically for your benefit. I've said your comments are NOT RELEVANT to mine.
That spike was the highest volume of the day though, then a LOT of selling right at the end.
They know a LOT that you or I don't. Question is, what do they *want* you to know?
Core PCE is holding above the feds target, if not slowly ticking upwards, combined with A LOT of economic uncertainty. I’m giving JPOW and the Fed 90% credit for the soft landing cause they probably would’ve pulled it off had tariffs not been tossed out there. That being said, unemployment is holding and inflation isn’t going down. Unless the economy starts to falter and needs shock therapy, rates are not coming down, no matter how bad you want them to
When do we expect to see the effects of this hit broad market funds? Why have we not seen the effects of this yet and are in fact creeping back up to all time highs? Is the market really being propped by Trump cronies? I'm not talking about local economies of border towns, I'm talking about broad market funds since we are in a stock market subreddit. And before you start to Downvote because you think I like Trump, no, I don't. If you look through my post and comment history you will observe that my commentary is simply to point out that a LOT of financial speak on reddit is very emotional. It's kind of funny that no one seems to point that the Biden administration also did not like this digital services tax either.
Jesus when it’s written as “a thousand million” it really sinks in. I know it’s a lot of money but written that way it’s A LOT OF MONEY
im seeing their cars A LOT amazon is now rivian factor delivery meals is now rivian they're going after corporte
Yes, CC and CSP are decent income vehicles. But the real issue with CC and CSP is they are capping your upside, and in practice you’re basically picking up change before a steamroller. Most CSP and CC can cost a LOT to employ. If you already have a crap ton of stocks from a job or something, that’s one thing, but there’s better ways to allocate funds more efficiently if you don’t already own the shares.
He already tried a 'friendly takeover' bid a few years ago- but only offered .19 euro per share at that time. The existing shareholders know the company is worth a LOT more...so we didn't sell to him. Since then he has made the company very successful.... so ... watch what happens...
It's a shame that if someone has A LOT of American flags you know they're retarded.
This guy knows a LOT about handouts too; he’s only making noise now because he’s not at the front of the line for them. So in this case he’s as right as he is transparent.
Wow. Take all from america, not detrimental to them, you say? Why do you think that is what's happening? Do you have evidence that they're taking everything from us? Tariffs are paid by the importer, hence, higher cost, we also have tariffs on SOME of their products. They put tarrifs on our goods, every country has SOME tarrifs on goods from every other country. We have tariffs on their EV, because ford and other American car companies are starting to build EVs, isnt that also cherry picking? We also have a LOT of treaties before like the Free trade agreement. Then they were trash. Now we just have tariffs on ALL IMPORTED GOODS. Even goods that we cannot produce here. And if they say we are being cheated because of trade deficits, how? Think about what our exports are? Agricultural exports consist mainly of Soy bean, wheat and corn. Products exported by MULTIPLE COUNTRIES, our major EXPORTS are electronics, vehicles, hardware. products that are not purchased daily. Coz do you need to purchase a new Iphone daily? Do you need to buy a new computer daily? Do you need to buy a new truck daily? While our major IMPORT are what WE purchase and consume DAILY BY THE BILLIONS. A lot of food products like coffee, fruits. Another is Potash, a product needed to grow OUR agricultural products is also imported, just to name a few, Hence the trade deficit. We will always have trade deficits. IF you cannot grasp that, then learn how business work around the world and their connections before SPEAKING.
You’re doing a LOT of interpretation here
You're not unique but you're still a huge minority. Netflix performance alone is a strong indicator there. A LOT of consumers talk a big game but generally don't end up changing much. Are Apple lovers going to switch to Samsung? Worse is corporations who knows how price sensitive consumers are and are going to stick with USA suppliers as long as it's more profitable. A niche of consumer will pay a premium for non-US items. NPR had a great segment on a Canadian nut seller in this regard. It's a bitch to build new supply chains. It's why America isn't all of a sudden going to start making everything we imported, but it works equally the other way.
Very bullish on LUNR. That is if they crash their next mission again lol. But this company has a LOT of upside potential, and the stock should at least double in the next year, the last drop was driven by a mission failure.
Can you help me understand tho? Like the dark ages also had A LOT of other problems like food insecurity, monarchy, church stuff, high mortality, and more. I understand that there has to be some growth, otherwise no new jobs are created, but since our population is actually slowing its growth, shouldn't business too? Companies need more profit each year to buy the same amount of raw materials, because the raw materials increased. So then they charge more to make "the same profit". Except now their products are more expensive and their employees aren't getting paid more. My issue is that the people who generate the wealth are generating more wealth than ever with expected growth each quarter. Except they see none of that in raises, it all goes to investors who don't physically contribute to any actual products. All I'm really confused, and naive, about is why businesses are in such a hurry. It's just a general confusion about why companies, CEOs, and investors always want more and can never be satisfied with enough. From my economically illiterate mind stuff like investment and dividends feels like "free market communism". These people are just getting paid to be a part of the system. They have a "universal" income that they don't actually have to work for. That's why I call myself naive, because I know the answer is just greed, ambition, and power hunger, but I personally can't understand those motives.
Honestly I have to do a LOT more homework before coming on reddit, but this insight gave me a 22 share motivation. I'll probably start buying more over summer
As some have said below, invest it in a low cost index at 80/20 and chill. Often times the market beats real estate anyway and it's a LOT less work. If you are keen to stay in real estate, try doing some research and buying a place in middle America where prices aren't too bad, get a real estate management company to run it for 10% of rent, and have renters pay off your mortgage while getting the leftover as passive income and earning appreciation.
If he fucks with JPow, investors will panic, dump their bonds and the US will most likely have to buy the bonds themselves, absolutely shattering the economy and possibly triggering another 2008 disaster but this time it would be more limited to the US. Last time, the Euro slammed to 1.5, this time it might be a LOT worse.
China learned they have a LOT more leverage over us then they thought, and we are less likely to oppose them now if they used it. So yeah, theyre laughing their butts off at us now.
My Spy puts would print A LOT. I would be swimming in money
There are a LOT of companies outsode the US. What type woyld benefit the most from this type of scenario?
I'm guessing you haven't actually driven a car from the Volkswagen Audi Group (VAG). If you had, you'd realise they've got a LOT of things right. The ride quality/suspension and noise levels are noticeably better. Neither do they suffer from "phantom braking". Plus, the range predictions are usually bang on the money as well.
Yeah, I end up passing on things and saying "no" A LOT, but I have a good handle on what I do own and it usually does well over a few years
A lot of neckbeards on Reddit harping on about GPUs and shit. I also have AMD at around $11 cost basis. I'm not smart so don't listen to me. I've had A LOT of losses over the years. Mostly through futures plays. But my recent buy and holds are ASTS and HOOD.
Bought a month ago, MUCH lower. Missed at myself for pulling out! Anyways, back in, let's all pray for a payday! Im up 75% of what I put it. Ive only lost $6 to date for how green i am, im proud. Im sitting on NCEW, and SYTA rn. Its taking a LOT longer with those 2!
Last try responding, because I am not looking for an argument & we likely will never agree: picking good stocks (and then selling covered calls on them where the stock has to go up around 30% in a few weeks...around a 15 Delta) is WAY better than buying bonds or putting it in your mattress or savings account. I've seen this over many years myself, though I admit that A LOT of people lose money in the stock market & I have been very fortunate. If a stock rips up 30% and reaches/touches my strike price, I would immediately roll it up and out. This keeps me in the stock that is rising fast, and I just have to sacrifice time & the extra premium I would have received had the option expired worthless.
Oh there are going to be A LOT of people left holding the bag. Think about how many people were FOMO buying at the peak of the tech valuation bubble of late 2021 only to see their stocks literally go down 70-80% in 2022.
Yes, but there's a LOT of FOMO.......you take what you can when you can
I used agentic coding AI for the first time the other day (literally the first time, so I'm not some kind of AI bro) because I was stuck on writing a thorny SQL query. I pointed it at the schema, asked it to write the query, and it instantly came back with something that matched what I had spent the better part of an hour fiddling with. Without even actually checking the first result, I just told it that it didn't quite work and to double check it. It quickly saw the quirky cross-dependency in the database, modified the query to actually work, then walked through an example step by step including spitting out the rows at each step. I wouldn't say I'm a "true believer" now, but... I get it. It's good to be skeptical but it needs to be balanced with an open mind. ChatGPT etc is only the tip of the iceberg. Discovering how LLMs can solve almost any problem (at least inefficiently) we throw at it, with minimal human effort, is like re-discovering general-purpose computers all over again. Computers, then the internet were absolutely transformative to *every single sector* in the market. Fossil fuels, and petrochemicals were absolutely transformative to *every single sector* in the market. These things do happen. Maybe it will fizzle out, who knows, but after giving it an honest try with an open mind, I kinda feel like it really could change a LOT.
There are a LOT of ACHR posts to be fair, literally every incremental bit of news about it is posted on here.
I didn't sell at the bottom, but sold recently. Since then most of my stocks rose a LOT (for example RKLB, AMD) I don't regret it at all.. because for me, the whole purpose of investing is to reach some goal.. And I got to that point. I'm buying a nice house for my growing family and moving out of my two bedroom apartment, which I'll be renting out in the future. I literally have no capital investments right now and just have the money sitting on my account waiting for finalizing the deal. I'll be back later in the year to the stock market. Btw, the way things are going in the housing market over here (Portugal), it's a better investment to just take care of your housing as soon as possible then to hold on to unrealized gains in the stock market.
I work in construction, so I see an eclectic group of people from many different trades and cultures every day. Let me say this...there are A LOT of stupid fucking people in this world. For our group in here, it's the bers.
There are a LOT of retards in the US. Mental illness is on the rise as well.
It stands to reason they sold A LOT of oil these last two days. Someone certainly did. But I'm sure everything is fine. Top minds are on it. Making sure the right folks say thank you.
I have three rental oroperties and a prop manager and trust me…. Its still work getting those guys to do things. Managing the prop manager. Not A LOT but it can be annoying at times
I’ve seen a LOT of dirt in my time……….but this is PURE STINKIN’ DIRT. The kind you can smell from a mile away. Lies, corruption, backroom deals... it’s a MUDSLIDE of disgrace! They’re digging deeper every day and it’s ALL coming out. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
I’ve heard A LOT of talk about it actually
The only trade where I have not lost any money except a small $400 realised loss (vs. thousands of realised gain) : is naked calls. Not, not at the money. Far out of the money. But a LOT of them. Portfolio margining helps no doubt but not necessary. The toughest part was to get over the pedantic "naked calls are bad durrrr" retardness. That took a few weeks.
He doesn't cuz its FUD. Bears never learn. Yes there was a chaperone in the passenger seat. This could be for several reasons including just preventing people from grabbing the steering wheel or trying to override it. I haven't heard of an instance any of them had to interact with it, but saying it's a joke because they wanted a fail safe during a demo is a bit silly. You think you gonna go to an apple event and hold a new iPhone that doesn't have chaperones? There is a LOT of youtube videos from many creators from yesterdays event showing full rides, slowing down for deers, speed bumps, and handling various scenarios. Some complained about wishing they got closer drop off points, but it opted for safer and more clear stopping areas, rather than right infront of a starbucks.
Did a marathon on Saturday. Hoka had the shoes on lock down but Nike had a LOT of gear out there. Earnings are gonna stick this time.
In all seriousness... it's wild how utterly convinced A LOT of bears here were that today would be a bloodbath. I wonder if they'll legit do some soul searching and self-reflection or create some excuse why they were wrong and move the goalposts again. If not the former that's really a shame.
Sit tf down gambler. You would’ve made a LOT of money if you didn’t sell. SIT DOWN HAAAAHAHAHAHA
You just need the dopamine of people getting upset with you. Totally normal and rational behavior. The more you try to say you don't care, the more obvious it is you care A LOT.
> and China doesn't seem to want to help Iran as of now. from what i have read, A LOT of the oil that goes through the straight of hormuz goes to asia, so the conflict becoming a big ordeal and impacting access to that waterway would be a huge inconvenience to china. seems pretty safe to say that china's position on this will stay pretty consistent and they don't want to see this become another ukraine.
A LOT of retards are losing and making CRAZY money today
You just know there are going to be A LOT of upset people (won’t mention skin color) that will be upset that 🥭 has an opinion that “N” shouldn’t be casually used. LOL
Deep sea mining has never generated a profit and TMC only has 1 mining vessel and 1 partnership with a node processing plant. There is 0 processing pipeline and A LOT of expenditure before it reaches anywhere close. TMC is literally a scam.
Hope it works out for you man! We are loyal to Royal and I have seen a LOT of people saying they will no longer sail with Carnival because of the loyalty program changes and that they are switching to different cruise lines, so hopefully it doesn’t decrease their revenue and hurt you & your YOLO.
I am progressive politically and I will buy any stock regardless of ethics, I’m just trying to maximize my own gains so I have a chance of retiring someday. I wouldn’t fault anyone for doing otherwise, but we are not even a drop in the bucket here and you’re doing a LOT more damage to yourself than any of these companies by considering ethics in your investment strategy. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a single publicly traded company that you found ethical if you really did your research on them.
This is misleading. 25% of current crude export. The US has A LOT of oil we haven’t drilled for. Does that mean I think we should? I dunno yet.
I bought actual ETH because the technicals looked good and I heard there was a LOT of dark pool stacking last week Turns out the dark pools were probably sells...
Long haul drivers work in pairs and sleep in the truck while the other driver drives. You have to pay people a LOT more to do that work, because they are away from home 20+ days a month. Average team driver pay is around 90k a year for each driver, so a self driving truck saves 180k a year in direct pay. With the other compensation costs, easily 240k a year in savings. Even if it costs 200k to make the truck self driving, that is a 10 month break even. There arent that many 120% ROI opportunities.
That speech last night??? "Mission Accomplished 2.0"..... Remember how that worked out. Now along with high grocery prices, tariff increased costs, WTI is up 21% in the last month...I don't think it's coming down soon...there aint no 1.98 a gallon regular on the horizon anytime soon... Wouldn't ride in a subway or a underwater tunnel crossing any time soon....someone can do a LOT of damage with ONE lone person. Think about it.
There is A LOT they can do to oil prices, which could be catastrophic to global economy.
In Iran, you are legally allowed to have 4 wives as long as existing wives agree. The exception to consent is if the first wife refuses to have sex with you. Ofc this system produces A LOT of angry, horny incels that want to blow themselves up. It's never going to fucking work 😂. This shit was just a matter of time, gonna happen eventually.
I’m pretty new too. There is still SO much I don’t know, but I’ve learned a few lessons as a newcomer. 1# ⚠️ Don’t invest more than you can lose! Everyone is right about this one. This is gambling, you will lose. Penny stocks aren’t going to fund your retirement or pay your rent. This is for fun, use your “entertainment” money and expect to lose. If you aren’t having fun losing, rethink investing in penny stocks. You will hear some great advice here, but the FOMO is strong. It’s human nature to make mistakes, it takes practice to emotionally detach. Some lessons you will have to learn the hard way even if you have been warned. Be forgiving of yourself. There are a LOT of scammers and bots on Reddit. The more a stock is mentioned, the more you should suspect it of being a meme stock. Or worse a pump-and-dump scam. If a stock is mentioned over and over the same day or the post contains emojis 🚀🚀avoid it like the plague. People are very quick to laugh at and call out losers/bagholders/fools when these stocks eventually go bust, but very few people speak up beforehand when they are getting hyped. DD means due diligence. It means you should research companies before you invest in them. You will be mocked for not doing this. If you are making a big play I agree, you should absolutely know as much as you can. I don’t make big plays. I personally think it is ridiculous to spend hours researching a company that sells for 40 cents a share. They are penny stocks for a reason. I don’t have that kind of free time, this is just a hobby I can spend 10-20 minutes a day on. I know I am gambling, it would cease being fun if I had to do that kind of research for a $40 play. My time is worth more than that. I might buy something just because someone here has recommended it and listed some reasons they think it will succeed. Some of these recommendations will be gems and some of them will… not. I’ve also had luck buying and selling meme stocks against conventional wisdom. If you get in fairly early, the hype lasts a while, and you sell before it tanks you can make some easy money. But at the bare minimum look at the stock history for the last year or two before buying anything recommended on Reddit. It only takes a minute and can help spot stocks that are frequent pump-and-dumps, have had only downward momentum, recent bad press, or are at their peak highs. You have to sell to make money. This one is still hard for me. I lose the most by not selling when the selling is good. If I pick a winner I don’t want to sell it. I get emotionally attached. What if it really takes off and I end up being the idiot that sold Amazon for $10? I am trying to detach enough to sell at a set %. Penny stocks are not meant for long term holds. I am a work in progress.
I'm from the future. He says that a LOT in the next few weeks.
Yep, a LOT of Americans will die because of this. It might take them a few years to plan something, but we’ve seen fanatical Muslim revenge before.
You're welcome, I hope it helps. Gold is a great underlying to do this on. Or even do the Wheel on. Sort of. Are you familiar with the Wheel? I used to do it, but have gotten away from it. Here's why: You'd want to sell a 30-delta put 30-45 days out. Again, lean toward thirty days, or a day or three earlier, because there's more extrinsic per day in shorter-dated Puts (if you don't know what I mean by that, I can tell you). So Monday you're selling maybe the IAU 18Jul62P at 28-delta for 0.50. How much cash do you have to have on hand as collateral for that? The strike price times 100, right? Because you're committing to buying 100 shares at that strike if someone "puts" them to you. That's collateral, and is why it's called "cash secured." So what's the ROI? 50/ 6200 = 0.8% That's in 4 weeks, so divide by 4 to get a per-week return, then multiply by 52: 10.4% Bleh. You can nearly make that in the market with index ETFs. BUT: it gets more exciting if you have margin. And it's not hard to get, and it's not terribly dangerous, if you don't abuse it and overleverage. So Schwab is giving me only a 20% Buying Power Reduction when I do that with IAU. They realize how stable it is and that it's not going to drop rapidly, creaming your put. So 20% less in that denominator above is the same as multiplying by 5: so now that ROI becoms 52%, and that's a LOT better. In fact, stop here and throw everything you can into IAU CSPs with margin. 52% per year is no joking matter. And it's going to be safe. If you're assigned, sell 30-delta CCs for about the same ROI. I said I've come back to the Wheel, and that right there is a big part of it. But you can't have margin in an IRA, but someone on the forums mentioned a work-around which I've found to be fabulous, so I'm back to Wheeling in our two Roth IRAs (but doing PMCCs also, not sure yet which performs better. You're not really ready for this yet, but I'm going to lay it on you. Come back and read it later when you know more about options. I'm going to use GLD because are much more liquid, so the math works out better. To lower the BP for CSPs, BUY a Put at a very low Delta. Then, the Buying Power isn't "strike minus 0," it's "strike minus the lower-strike Put" you own.
According to [OptionStrat ](https://optionstrat.com/RXAfO18l0Vk3)that would be a Reverse Diagonal Put Spread. That link is clickable, so click on it to see how I modelled the trade you said in words. OptionStrat is a GREAT learning tool, btw. I've been using it since somebody on one of these forums built it. I'm not sure you typed your trade as you meant it, though. For one thing, there no June 26, 2025, so I went with June 27th. And two, that 306P you buy only "hedges" the short 305 for the 5 or six days it's alive. You'd have to keep putting on new long Puts every few days to "back" or "collateralize" the short Put. Otherwise it's just an 11-month long CSP, and you don't want to do that. I don't mean to insult you, but have you read any books on options? This one is solid: [Options for the Beginner and Beyond,](https://www.r-5.org/files/books/trading/schoolbooks/W_Edward_Olmstead-Options_for_the_Beginner_and_Beyond-EN.pdf) by Professor Olmstead of Northwestern University, a very prestigious school. And the "Beyond" is as far as you or I or any retail trader needs to go. What are you trying to accomplish? Are you trying to sell Premium, like in a Cash Secured Put? Or buy a Put thinking the stock is going to go down? Check out this Diagonal Put Spread, see if you can figure out what's going on. Which Put did I buy, and which Put did I sell? After 7/25, what could I do? I do these a lot. They're essentially CSPs ATM (where Premiums are the highest), backed by a longer-dated Put so the maximum it can lose is the distance between the strikes. That reduces the Buying Power a LOT, and makes selling CSPs (ATM or 30-delta or whatever) worthwhile. Anyway, play around on OptionStrat with your ideas. Hit the Build pulldown to see just how many option strategies there are. And if you click on the price tabs on the numberline, you can see and change some other information about each position. Oh, and above the line means you own it, below the line means you shorted it. Let me know when you have questions, here or in Chat.
I mean... The stock market is totally divorced from reality at this point. It's propped up by absurd amount of venture capital investing in products that MIGHT come to fruition in 20 years and LOT of stock buy-backs... 64% of 100 startups worth more than $1 billion that successfully completed an initial public offering since 2010 were unprofitable. - And Yes I just pulled this from a Random AI.
I am sure over the years have traded double what I possess today. Have made a LOT of money on TSLA, when they were far more a pure automotive play than I view them as now. Their next act is getting closer to happening now. The whole time I have made money, the P/E has never been logical. The “Elon Premium” has always been very high.
