Manual transmission sucks? Seriously? Or do you only say that because you can’t drive one? The car I bought recently (Nissan z) posted better times on the performance model at 0-60 than the automatic. But the point is that driving at automatic is boring as hell, you can’t down shift to slow down without breaking and you can’t feel or respond to the car even remotely close. I don’t know any serious car enthusiasts who feel the same as you and I know a LOT
Permanent fix for a temporary problem. I love you. We all love you. Even though youve been touching yourself a LOT lately.
Hey all, I have noticed a LOT of descending triangles in my portfolio today, with a 1D window. I posted screenshots in the link below. Was wondering if these are about to drop heavily... the ones that are breaking out are jumping up. Weird cus my 3 month portfolio chart is a very obvious ASCENDING triangle. https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/YUIyh8I1dA
I worked at Fido for a time as a registered person. They want you to take money and put into something the rep earns a small pittance for. Mutual funds, an annuity, or even better, their “managed accounts”. I’m not bagging on any of those products because each does FIT a person, but it’s so dependent, he could never know without asking you a lot of personal finance questions. He needed to know a LOT before making a recommendation.
I was up by A LOT today until I wasn’t. What the fuck.
# KRE: Regional Banking ETF these are the cunts that are crashing us today, everyone remember to say THANK YOU to Zions Bancorporation and Western Alliance Bancorp. Fucking bad loans AGAIN. YEAH thanks a LOT fucking bankers man.
MY COWORKER, WHO BOUGHT A LOT OF BTC THIS LAST MONTH, JUST TOOK AN AFTERNOON OFF TO "CONCENTRATE" AND "RETHINK". I don't what that means, dude probably takes tomorrow off too. I am left with bunch of work
You should always sell before it drops a LOT, but I wouldn't worry for these little ones.
Hard to say without seeing it. But they could’ve been short a call option which can expose you to A LOT of risk if the underlying asset price moves against you in a large way.
When you get to around 50k you can sling TQQQ/SQQQ in a margin account and make like $350-$500 a day on a few solid trades. It doesn’t sounds like much but if you can get to 4 wins per loss, you’ll make $1k a week. That doubles your money in a year and with a LOT less risk than you’re taking recently.
Bruh, these swings throughout the day are fucking wild. I wake up to being +27k. Check 3 hours later and I'm -10k. Check one more time at close and I'm +3k for the day. That is a LOT of fucking volatility, man.

Now is when you buy. From all of these "I'm out" comments...this tells me these are WEAK people who can't handle dips. BURU did a healthy pullback after running 400% to 700% depending on when you bought. I bought at 20 cents and I bought more at 31 cents today. Nuburu has the Tekne deal coming up...this is going to change their future trajectory by A LOT and their transition to defense is just getting started. Smart money is buying now below 40 cents. BURU will be $1 to $2 end of October when the Tekne deal closes.
Yeah as in A LOT more scamming.
Market feeling a LOT like it did the month before liberation day.
If they can produce it their self, then why don't they? Everyone knows it's because it is cheaper for a business to have their products produced in China. Of course, with a 200% tariff, it will be cheaper to produce domestically, but still a lot more expensive. Ultimately the consumer pays the price because the company needs to make up for the increased production cost. You might not NEED it from China, but it sure is A LOT more convenient for EVERYONE.
I would love to short but the hype is just brutal. At one point they will dilute a shitton of shares to finance the development. It’s crazy overvalued for a company that makes no revenue and is still in development phase. IF they will be successful the next 10 years are already priced in. Plus, producing nuclear energy is not the most profitable business, it needs A LOT of subsidies from gov to keep going on. It totally relies on the high cunsumption which is expected from AI but this technology is also developing and will get more efficient. Still wouldn‘t be surprised to see it at $250
puts. i think stocks will go down from here A LOT MORE
This is just fear mongering. It's a sales tactic. "The world is gonna end soon, buy this survival plan from me because I'm so smart I see the future!!" Is runaway debt a problem. Yes, absolutely, and we as citizens should be pressuring our reps to be fiscally responsible (government challenge: impossible). But the idea that the USA is going to simply default one day soon is overblown. As is the idea that there's a single place in the world that you could invest and see returns if that happened. If the USA failed it would have ramifications across the globe for GENERATIONS. It's not a "good thing I picked up some weekly puts" WSB gamble. You are talking the collapse of EVERYTHING. Across the board, everywhere, for a long time until everything is functionally completely broken apart and rebuilt into a new system.. which likely involves a LOT of fighting, some possibly physically (war) and a LOT of mistakes and missteps. It would be akin to saying "if you had your entire cardiovascular system shut down tomorrow, what's the best mineral to invest in? Calcium?" It's such a ridiculous question considering the ramifications of the subject matter it's cartoonish. This is like the idiotic notion that BRICs matters, at all. As if all those idiot yapping heads going off about BRICs replacing the USA had a chance. Not a single BRICs nation trusts their own currency, let alone each others. Lmao. It's equivalent to a bunch of "confidential informants" who have informed on their bosses all getting together, whining about their organizations, and deciding to start their own criminal organization. Not a single one of them trusts the other, and they will fuck each other at the drop of a hat, for no reason at all. Just because. If presented with the opportunity.
We’re gonna need a lot of Trump “I did this!” stickers. A LOT!!!!!
I talked a LOT of bear shit last night. Things were said, there were regrets, etc.... And now we get this bullshit.
I answered a little of what you asked before but it’s mainly being patient and understanding I’m in here for the long term not the short term aka time in the market vs timing of the market. I also try not to do options since I don’t really understand it but I do understand it carries far more risks than rewards. I try to get only $200 minimum and $1000 maximum into each of the stocks I pick because I think of it as if anything I pick loses, I won’t lose as much money - I’ve just been incredibly lucky to have such a positive portfolio. As for who to follow, look for Steve as I am too - I don’t follow his options but I buy whatever mineral stock he’s looking at and it works out a LOT. He’s done his due diligence and I try to do the same but most of what he talks about it correct and it’s impressing seeing him go from $30k to $30 MILLION in the last six months.
The entire US economy is hinging on AI right now, it requires A LOT of energy.
Not quite. If a company compensates staff with options and RSU's to a significant degree, then buybacks sent some of that distributed capital to the option holdees, while dividends reward current sharehokders and weaken the value of outstanding non-vested options. For a company like Amazon that does a LOT of RSU's dividends are significantly preferable to investors to buybacks.
I need a LOT more Tylenol if I'm going to succeed in this market
> My original point was, there are a LOT of folks who think Bitcoin should either serve as a strategic reserve or replace fiat outright. Those 2 things are so different it's not really right to put them together. For example Bitcoin being a strategic reserve is literally the position of the current US administration. Replacing USD with bitcoin is definitely not their current position. So I think linking these 2 things is completely disingenuous.
I, not sure I care enough about this discussion to go point by point but I will say I agree with your last sentence, 100%. My original point was, there are a LOT of folks who think Bitcoin should either serve as a strategic reserve or replace fiat outright. And that is their sole reason for purchasing Bitcoin.
> A LOT of people think Bitcoin’s scarcity prevents central banks from adjusting money supply to meet monetary policy; ie, printing money. It’s one of the greatest appeal for tech doomer bros. You are totally misunderstanding things. The bitcoin protocol does limit the number of bitcoin. That is an attribute that combined with other attributes gives bitcoin unique properties that create a demand for bitcoin. The hard limit of bitcoin does prevent "bitcoin printing" or inflation. I don't know how you get from that to preventing central banks from adjusting money supply? Central banks control fiat, not bitcoin. > My point is, even if you did think that central banks shouldn’t adjust money supply (which is just plain silly) and that they are the root of all inflation evil I don't think any of these things > adopting Bitcoin as a reserve currency won’t fix anything. As soon as enough political pressure builds in a deflationary crisis, a government will increase supply by adding a new currency into the reserve. There’s nothing to stop them. Adopting bitcoin as a reserve currency can mean different things so I really don't know what you are talking about. The central bank doesn't hold gold for instance, so thinking they would hold bitcoin is quite a stretch. The US treasury holds gold. I don't see how the treasury holding bitcoin would cause a deflationary crisis. We hold gold and don't have a deflationary crisis. I also can't imagine the US govt just adding another new currency in this hypothetical scenario? I'm sorry but this whole deflationary crisis turning into a new currency theory is just way too out there for me. Bitcoin is perfectly fine to live side by side with fiat currency. It's not an all or nothing thing.

Gold has been massively bought by central banks since 2024. That’s the major mover here. Why? Bunch of reasons some of which have to do with US, some the dollar, some treasuries. But the world is buying LOT of gold.
1% per year is a LOT of money, after 20 years of paying your advisor hes gonna take home 198k assuming you have 900k of assets and never increasing that number, you're better off investing everything on your own in both VOO and QQQ for growth and perservation and never touching your investment account

You have a LOT of money in tech. Look what happened in that sector 2000-2002. Massacred.
It’s also worth pointing out that 401k limits (employee + employer contributions) can be as high as 70k annually. There are all sorts of rules based if you are a “highly compensated employee”, and different profit sharing/ safe harbor plans, but there are often ways for the partners or higher earning members of a company to put away A LOT more money tax deferred than the average employee, but the rules require them to offer the employee a some type of match.
Corruption is the defining problem for America right now; for most parts of the rest of the world, this is just another Tuesday. Americans don’t realize how *nice* it is to live and work in a country with less corruption than anywhere else. Both of my parents emigrated to the U.S. from very corrupt countries in Asia and Eastern Europe. Corruption contaminates everything once it takes hold. You want to drive anywhere or travel internationally? Better make sure you keep cartons of cigarettes and bottles of top shelf liquor on-hand to bribe customs and police officers. You want to go out to eat at a restaurant? Hopefully, the restaurant owner has the right connections that has bribed all the right people to ensure an uninterrupted food supply. Need to go to a doctor? Well, given that licensing is partially dependent on paying off the right bureaucrats, let’s hope they actually know what they are doing! Oh, you are a really great contractor and have an idea that will make you the lowest bidder on a new public project? Too bad - the contract is going to the mayor’s father-in-law. And that new building will definitely be going over budget. It’s fine, though, because it is just the taxpayers who are on the hook! Want to save for retirement by investing in the stock market? Hope you are familiar with the fate of Enron and WorldCom, because there are going to be A LOT more of those scandals, without the threat of the SEC and FTC breathing down C-suite necks.
It states he’s received over $400m over his entire life from it but had only received $1-2 million by the time he started working himself. Still A LOT more than most but the narrative you’re trying to push is just simply not real. Also, what did Fred Trump inherit? If you want to be mad at someone be mad at your own father/family, not Donald Trump. I’d childishly call you a dick rider of someone too to finish this out but your side doesn’t know what a dick or vagina is 🤷🏻♂️
Given the state of United States infrastructure including high percentage of functionally obsolete and/or failing bridges as well as outdated electrical infrastructure (combined with rising electrical needs), we KNOW we are going to have to spend a LOT of money improving this infrastructure, question is just WHEN (ie how long can politicians keep kicking the can down the road so as to not tank their re-election prospects by being the ones to suggest or vote for massive spending increases or bond debt needed to pay for these projects). Several of the big companies who are actually able to bid on these projects are fully private My question is - Which are the public infrastructure construction companies (funds?) associated with / capable of bidding on these huge infrastructure redevelopment/construction projects? Who will be the ones to benefit from these massive projects?
That's how it works. The rich get A LOT richer, and that makes everyone else a little richer. You just said we raised the floor 2.5x. Get a mortgage, get a house, get that 3.5x. It's free real estate.
If you sell a lot, price goes down. If you sell A LOT A LOT, price goes down enough to trigger stop losses, which furthers the selling.

I am mostly a swing trader and long term investor, but I play with price scalping for fun some. There's a lot of different ways people approach it but generally people are looking at key levels and how price behaves around them. Asia session high/lows, London session high/lows, overall premarket high/lows, 15 minute opening ranges, previous days close/low/high, or just a general break in structure, etc. They look for price behavior around these key levels and then will enter long or short based on their interpretation of price action/order flow, etc. I don't think price was doing anything interesting around a key level, and I wasn't day trading at the time, but no one I know who trades happened to catch this before it happened so I'm guessing there wasn't any bearish price action happening leading up to it, which if there was already a bearish incline to the market a LOT more people playing 0DTE would have made a ton of money yesterday I think. But I think in general the market was looking more bullish. Option prices also weren't inflated like they are on FOMC days or any days were volatility is expected. I forget the exact number but I looked at it and I think the standard option play if you would have entered expecting bearish action would have done something like 20-50x in like two hours or something absurd. I forget if that was calculating standard risk to reward or just the pure contract prices
Yeah, what we had happen in crypto land is a LOT worse and not enough people are going to care unless you see US stocks crash hard and not get up easily (what the Nasdaq did out of its worst bear since the financial crisis is going to forever be remarkable). If you press certain people on that, they'll just be like "hahaha, this is legal and you saw Dems get away with corruption, so I don't give two flips that our side is getting away with corruption as well."
Issue is that they fudge their statistics A LOT. Local leaders are incentivized to post good statistics to central government. It's an issue that stems from the Mao era. Their population had negative growth for the first time in 2022, with the majority of their population in the older age group ready for retirement. Their youth unemployment rate is absurdly high as well, about 18% Also 31% of their GDP comes from real estate and infrastructure, which is scary to think about considering the amount of ghost cities, unoccupied/underdeveloped real estate, and developer debt. Most notably, the Evergrande scandal, where they were once the 2nd largest property developer in China but defaulted on debt in 2021, and were liquidated in 2024. China has definitely come a long way, though with its urban cities having a MASSIVE modern upgrade, such as Shanghai, but a lot of its economic issues are masked.
Yep. The US in particular let China become the toxic waste dump of the world in exchange for trade. Now Trump wants to do the same to the US. And a LOT of that mineral wealth is on tribal land. So I'm sure one of Project 2025's next moves is to twist the Constitution to say US Natives are NOT US citizens, round them up, and dispose of them, sell off the land to his cronies, and turn the US into the next toxic wasteland.
I remember when Robinhood sold my options back in the day when I was on a huge winning trade in the OG GameStop Roaringkitty event. They screwed me out of a LOT of money that day. I moved to other brokerages and never looked back. Robinhood can eat shit. That’s one company along with blackrock that can get shorted into oblivion for all I care.
Line never go down ever again! I'm being silly in my responses but as someone who's been through major downturns before, there will be A LOT of people in this sub moaning when they are down 50% one day in the future 😂
I know several people that have invested & lost a LOT of money on the empty promises and hype of this 💩 company. Be careful. Dilution risk is real. They are down almost 78% ytd. Their net income is —$40.9 million. This company started trading in March 2013 and is down 98% since then. Seems to me that at some point in that many years they could’ve started turning a profit or at least breaking even . This company may do better in the coming years, but in the meantime money can made elsewhere with better investments in companies with solid fundamentals.. All of the stars will need to align exactly right for this stock to hit its price target. And who knows how long that will take? 2030? 2035? HARD PASS Hydrogen, nuclear, hydroelectric & solar (globally, even though the US gov. Trashed these) are all better investments right now IMO
You're welcome, and I think you're seeing it. CSPs tie up a LOT of capital, don't they? Almost ALL of the stock's price, in fact. Long Calls are a lot more capital efficient. But you're right: that leverage cuts both ways. That's why they need pretty close monitoring. Not daily, necessarily, but weekly. And remember too that you don't have to hold these things to expiration. Like any other equity, they have a specific value at any point in time, so you can sell them whenever you want. I say that because it's easy to fall into the "at expiration" trap, especially when you start looking at P/L charts, which sort of lock you in to that mindset. So you don't wait for SPY to go down 90. Maybe you take action when it's down 30, or 50, or whatever. But yeah, dig into it and see what you think. If you're trading SPY now anyway (whether shares or CSP), try buying a Call on it instead. And I shouldn't tell you this yet, but a 1-year out Call isn't some Holy Grail. It does have some advantages, but it's also okay to buy a shorter-term Call. But ALWAYS stay at or above 80-delta, and NEVER buy less than 90 days out. 100-120DTE is a good place to look. Have fun, and keep us posted!
Seriously. I dread Friday’s for news cycles as everyone tends to release info and let the shit hit the fan over the weekend to simmer down by weekday activity on Monday for news. And frankly this current admin has a LOT of bad news.
We have A LOT to fall before that
Im not too concerned actually. Once the U.S. govt opens up SEC has a LOT of ETF to pass. That should provide the shot (heh) this one needs to pay off. If not, hey if someone is stupid enough to invest with $ they dont have thats on them.
how does it feel losing $30k in one day. I hate $MSTR A LOT
People love to act so confused and mad and mislead when they play the most euphorically bullish strategies at a market peak and they are always the ones complaining that their APE didn’t work out. Unfortunately some have to lose out a LOT before they realize not every rise can be parabolic.
It was a really dumb buy. I have a LOT of losers
seems like a solid product, solid company. I like that about the CEO getting paid in stock. Also, they've had a LOT >6million insider buys in September, so my thoughts are we get a nice run to $2-3 as they will have more press in the upcoming days and more contracts likely will be announced. Strap in, or strap on, whatever your flavor!
I am by no means an expert , but I have learned A LOT in the past couple of years and I can steer you in the right direction. Options are high risk , high risk , high reward. Yea , I know I said high risk twice. You really need to understand how leverage goes both ways. Being young you wanna get at it , and I understand and even applaud you , but YOU NEED TO DO SOME BORING LEARNING FIRST OR YOU WILL HAVE A BAD TIME. Youtube has some good resources , I would start there. I remember a channel called "In the money" that explains a lot of the basics of options and some of the common strategies. That is the first channel I watched where it started to click as he explains it all pretty clearly. If you want to learn more than basics about options , look into Quant Data. Fantastic resource. Streams aggregate options data for the whole market. They are a paid service (and worth every penny) , but they host a live Discord stream every trading day and share the data they provide and use on the screen for free. They mainly day trade SPY , which is a really good ticker to do as it has tons of liquidity and daily options. It is a really good community IF YOU ARE WILLING TO PAY ATTENTION AND LEARN. They will expect you to know the very basics however , so don't ask beginner questions in there. Learn a little before you lurk in that Discord. Those two resources will take you pretty far if you are willing to put in the time and learn. I hope this helps you. Good luck and be careful.
**Also is there a way to use the stock market to make money like at a regular job like daily or weekly** Either day-trading or having a MASSIVE amount of money in high-dividend stocks. **should I sell and buy options** No. Until you understand the basics of the market, absolutely avoid options. At max, do an ITM call option on a company you 100% believe in and are bullish. Options are how people win big and lose big. **what about the thing where I can act as the distributer of an option?** Not 100% sure what you mean by this. **Is day trading a real thing and how does it work really are there any good simulators out there?** Yes. I personally do not daytrade, but I know of Webull and TradingView. **What about forex can I trade currencies on the stock exchange or is that different and do I not use a brokerage account for that?** Not sure 100%. I think Schwab allows it. You're honestly best buying ETFs for those countries. Found this reddit page that might help. [https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/16dr0md/how\_do\_american\_investors\_directly\_access\_foreign/](https://www.reddit.com/r/investing/comments/16dr0md/how_do_american_investors_directly_access_foreign/) In all honesty man, you sound young and you want to get rich quick. I don't blame you, money's young is dope. You have to consider the world (especially the U.S.) is in shaky time period. There is a LOT of uncertainty of what's going to happen. Invest in ETFs, gold, and a few individual stocks. I would be **very** careful with options.

I have a LOT of PPTA but today’s action makes no sense it should be up 5%+ so I doubled my share count
Don't panic sell anything, people. Look around and see what's going on with a LOT of stocks. It's not just yours—something's funny in the air. That being said, I'm still a noob and not exactly sure what I'm doing more times than not 😁
Strongly disagree, putting aws aside, a LOT of people are dependent on amzn for purchasing stuff. It’s been proven that when shit hits the fan like in 2020, people turn to amzn for almost anything including groceries.
Maybe we will get a large investment, contract, or private equity is taking it private at a juicy premium. Like $15B wouldn’t be out of the ordinary at all, that would effectively put us around $30 a share. This company is undervalued relative to its peers, by a LOT.
This isn’t specifically a comment on you but there are a LOT of people in here who claim to have ‘called’ these tickers and others like them.
Yes, you're missing a **LOT** **MUCH of the gold in USA reserves is NOT their's at all**, but was sent there during and after WW2 by other countries - many of whom have been steadily repatriating said gold for DECADES *(There's also rumoured to be a significant deficit in the actual gold v what is supposed to be there, but that may be urban myth - although at one point earlier this year there was a three day wait to obtain gold bullion in London because so much was being bought by USA entities)* **The USA National debt exceeds THIRTY SIX TRILLION** (read that again!) and the Chinese have been slowly/quietly dumping their holdings therein for years, in favour of their own currency and gold *(But slowly enough not to cause a run on the dollar, until the day they WANT to...)* Constantly printing more money to mask greater issues means those problems will come home to roost, sooner or later **Yes, the BRICS countries ARE actively involved in deDollarization**... and it spells the end of the USA's Hegemony, sooner or later - without the threats, bullying, sanctions Etc. that comes with using the Dollar for international transactions, the USA will learn it is powerless to stop the BRICS nations, and the many others looking to partner/join them, from trading in whatever they wish and howsoever they wish. **The concept of returning to Gold for oil and other trading transactions was floated by Ghadaffi, years ago** \- *ONE of the resons he was toppled...* and there IS a general feeling in many parts of the world that trhe USA, and by extension the DOLLAR, is not to be trusted and is no longer an honest broker *(was it ever?!)* **BRICS look set to return to trading in EACHOTHER's currencies, at rates fixed to the price of Gold and underpinned by ACTUAL gold reserves in their vaults**... so yes, there is even more gold-buying going on than normal... BRICS are reported to have considered starting their own currency (similar to the Euro) but decided it was not practical and fraught with dangers such as those experienced by the EU with the Euro over decades. **The Euro is likewise destined for failure, sooner or later**, and can legitimately be called one great Ponzi scheme, as the EU swallows up Gold reserves, Banks, institutions Etc. of each new country that joins the club, to keep paying out sums to existing member states - the MAIN reason they fought so hard to stop the UK leaving, as the UK was one of only THREE countries contributing more into than they received out of the EU coffers... France and Germany being the others. **Gold has ALWAYS been seen as a safe haven in dangerous times** and we sure are in VERY dangerous times, right now... The USA playing an active part in warzones like Ukraine and Palestine, actively trying to overthrow regimes in Georgia, Serbia. Slovakia, Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, Haiti, Cuba Etc. Etc. Etc. actively actually succeeding in overthrowing regimes (Ukraine 2014, Pakistan 2022, Bangladesh 2025, Nepal 2025, Etc. Etc.) and trying to start wars with China and Iran does NOTHING to persuade anyone to hold dollars And then there is the simple maths of it - in a number of countries *(e.g. Switzerland, Singapore, Potugal, UK)* there are ways to avoid tax legally investing in gold - no purchase tax Etc. **In the UK, gold Sovereigns and Britannias are still legal currency (theoretically) The ramificatilon of this, for a gold investor, is that you can pocket ALL the profit from the rise in value, IF YOU HOLD THE ACTUAL COINS**
BURU is the next OPEN. Same pivot story/setup and cult-like community that is growing rapidly. Yes...it has A LOT MORE room to run (and will).
That is also very big. How many planes can you see at the moment? On average there are 15,000 planes up in the sky and 4 billion birds. You could throw up a million ISS spacestations and it wouldn't make much difference to available space. There's a LOT of room up there.
He gets nothing if revenue doesnt grow by a LOT
Put 1k in your account. Probably lose it. Reflect on why you did weeklys (because cheap) Reload, get away from memes temporarily and get some nice 90+DTE and make 2x on some of your plays. Because bull market is never ending. See new memes. Say "surely this will go up by end of week and I dont want to miss out." Buy 100 new .10 c way out of money weeklys. Expire worthless. You just learned a LOT from those 3-4 weeks
probably should pay off debt and save a bit before trading then, makes trading a LOT easier
for the amount of people here so confident RVPH will go to 3$ in no time, a LOT of you panicked when it dipped for an hour, lol
A LOT. Before you can even gamble 7k comfortably you need a lot of cash or have a raging addiction. Either way, this shit will stay out of reach for most. I can do this about ten times, fail, and then I’m broke. I just saw that other dude who sold his AMD calls on Friday against -99% and he would have made 650k if he didn’t. That’s some $ROPE ass fandom shit.
Bruh there are A LOT of people about to lose $7K by end of week
You haven't touched the S&P500 in the past 25 years... man you've left a LOT of money on the table.
It’s pretty bad right now, but it’s still A LOT better than Canada 😊
My biggest issue with this is yes 40% is great, but options trading takes up A LOT of mental time and energy and stress, I could have simply invested in GOOGL, MSFT and AAPL in April and held. Hell, even the last 5 years and would have made much more doing far less “work”
you're approaching this in a weird way. if i tell someone "would you like to get 500,000 dollars right now, but you have to tax 250,000 dollars so you get to keep 250,000 dollars?" of course they say yes. in any scenario if the question is "would you like to be given money?" then the answer will be yes, obviously. thats not what disliking taxes is. when people pay high taxes they still get to keep money after (except for some meme-worthy exceptions) that doesn't mean they enjoyed having to lose a significant amount of money to it. if you're income is low enough that you cough up $200 in taxes on your paycheck maybe you can consider this a fair price to pay for the society you participate in, or maybe it still stings because it is still eating into your modest salary. however when you are asked to cough up amounts that you can actually do significant things with it becomes significantly worse IMO. i've had low paying jobs. hell i've lived on army pay, which in my country is far from an impressive sum. ive worked in sanitation when i was younger, it wasnt exactly raking in big dosh, what i was able to do in my life was obviously dictated by my financial situation, paying taxes on my paltry income of course impacted how much i had left but honestly i didnt even really think about it. when i got older and crossed the 6 figures you best believe i noticed taxes. i lose more than half my income to taxes. obviously i still have more left than i did as a kid but my decision on if it fucking sucks to pay taxes isnt based on "well either you feel nothing when you pay this, or you get to keep nothing!!!" thats not how it works. im not sure how you managed to cope and make yourself think that way, because of course when you gaslight yourself like that you can cope with anything, but normal people wont view it that way. if i earn money and someone tells me "lol half of that is mine" you best believe it sucks. and it would suck A LOT less if its someone taking 5 bucks out of the 10 bucks i made doing something versus someone taking half a million out of the million i made. i can do a LOT of things with half a million, i cant do much at all with 5 bucks. getting taxed on big amounts suck WAY more than it did paying taxes when i was young. hell i pay more in tax now than i earned, pre-tax, when i was young. its straight up absurd.
-7 is A LOT better than i expected wsb to treat me
I bought 10 $390 Jan26 call options on Friday. Wish I bought a LOT more!
Thank you for responding. I am mainly asking now about a new idea of buying LEAPS as I detailed in my above post. Can you please address & answer my questions I have, to make sure I understand it properly with potential risks? If I do understand it correctly, a 90% profit would be A LOT higher than a 50% profit, which is why I'm thinking of doing it. Thanks
We've got a LOT of extra cream we should make something
Okay, good, so you *are* experienced with ETFs. Then I have 2 words for you: **LEAPS Calls** You buy an **80-delta** Call **a year or more out** on an ETF you like. (And it should be going up.) Why? Because it acts as a *stock substitute.* But it costs a LOT less than shares, so get leverage. I'll use VOO to demonstrate: It's going up pretty smoothly; 4% in the last month, 24% in the last 6m. 24/6 is 4% per month, nice and smooth. I'd buy an 80-delta Call 467 days out, in the 15Jan'27 expiration. There are two: the 525 and the 530. Let's buy the 525C because it's a little more ITM, and therefore a bit safer. It's going for **127.90** at Midpoint. Tomorrow at the open it would probably sell for about that. VOO is going for **615.30**. There are a couple of ways to think about the leverage. Here's the one that might be easiest to understand: VOO is up **$20** over the last month. Say it does that over the next month, what does that do to the value of the Call option we bought? It adds "Delta" times that many dollars of value to it. So **0.80 x $20 = $16** Now find the ROI, which would be the new value of the Call after a month, divided by its original cost: (127.90 + 24) / 127.90 = 18% *That's 18% in 1 month.* Not the 4% that VOO has been doing per month. **Do you sell Covered Calls now?** You can sell Calls against Calls you own too, it doesn't have to be shares. Sell about 30 days out, and maybe 25 to 30-delta. And how do you calculate ROI of CCs? It's the Premium you sold divided by the cost basis of the shares, right? Well what happens when the denominator of that calc is much smaller than the share price? It causes the ROI to be much higher. So let's sell the VOO 7Nov632.5C at 33DTE and 25-delta for maybe **3.05**. (The B/A spread is wide because it's AH, but that's a reasonable value.) So that's the premium we sold; what do we divide it by? The price of VOO, **615.30**? No. The price of the long Call we own, **127.90**. So ROI is: 3.05 / 127.90 = 2.3% That's in 32 days from tomorrow, so simple-annualize that to about 25% apy. Do you like those numbers? What I built there was the Poor Man's Covered Call. But you can do just the long Call part of it and be insanely profitable.
I’m no economist or forex bro, but I see a LOT of red currency futures. If everybody else is down, dollar is up.
Is there any country who WOULDN’T pursue someone who has a LOT of American loan and credit card debt? Asking for a friend (I have no friends)
My stance with BURU is that it doesn’t matter how much it’s diluted. We are buying in into such a low price, that it is bound to go up. The company is going to have pressure in keeping the price above $1 eventually, so no matter what at our current entry price dilution risk is a non factor. They might do a reverse split, but I think even the company knows that that would be the death spiral of this company. Even if they do a reverse split and we sell then (and there can be A LOT of room before then), it still won’t be much of a loss because of how cheap the stock is right now. On the other hand, there’s actually a chance that this company does get big contracts and attracts DOD or Anduril, and in turn can increase a LOT in value. So bottom line is, currently at this price, this is a low risk, and potentially high reward situation.
Yeah and because of this we definitely have more time and a LOT more returns to see before it pops.
The quality of their AI products lags behind competitors and their search product is quickly becoming obsolete. I agree that GOOG is better value than Palantir, but GOOG still has a LOT of downside.
market levels pro, he has a LOT of stuff about options delta and gamma and uses that to trade futures off of, he post some of his trades everyday now on his sub stack. Goodluck he seems to have found an edge in it, hope you can too
I don't worry too much about delta neutrality, to be honest. I am in no way a highly experienced trader, so take what I say with a pinch of salt, but I just think delta neutral portfolios leave a lot of alpha sitting on the table and end up lowering returns overall. However, Tom Sosnoff et al have wayyyyy more training, researchers and experience than me, so you probably shouldn't listen to me lol. Pure volatility plays can absolutely work, but the market is very efficient and has a LOT of very smart, very well-paid people scooping up every cent of variance premium at latencies so low they are taking profit in the time it takes for the light from the charting screen to enter your eyes. Your setup sounds very sensible, as long you're diversifying your underlying with uncorrelated assets and not overexposing one market or asset class. My main analysis depends on the situation. If I am confident in a company's vision, fundamentals, and impact, then I use naked puts to wheel into the company. I usually go slightly ITM about 45dte, as long as the IVR is favorable to the trade. That way, I get paid to buy a stock I wanted anyway. If I'm shorting gamma, I need a solid thesis. I need a reason my thesis also has statistical edge either 1) over 2) in spite of or, 3) because of the big money. My main options plays though, are diagonals on LEAPS. Essentially the PMCC, but with a few twists. Really great convexity, slow-but-dependable theta harvesting on shorts to steadily reduce your cost basis. You can also switch it up to give you a great short position on a company with that same convexity and cost-reducing rolls. Beautiful trade.
Yeah a LOT of my trades ended up leaving many thousands on the table because I just didn't hold enough and was attempting to flip too much.
I never said it would be a correction like dotcom. But I do think it will catch people off guard. I also never said I am timing. It could happen this quarter or in 3 years, but the longer it takes the more harsh I expect the drop to be. I was around the dotcom bust. It's not at that level here yet, but we are starting to get to the point where everyone is including "AI" for the sake of hype and momentum, even without a substantial plan. People do still need to know how to use AI effectively and it does still require human oversight. Yes, there are "profitable behemoths," and those will be okay in the long run, but there is also a LOT of speculative action with everyone trying to find the next NVDA with the steep run up.
holy cow dude. I SAID ITS NOT A LOT IN THE DESCRIPTION?! I TURNED 18 A WEEK AND A HALF AGO
That's the first hurdle but there are a LOT of institutes won't throw huge money until it's above $5.
First of all, I appreciate your positive outlook. You're definitely right. I believe I can do both however. My work ethic is unmatched. I work for a family business doing labor right now getting OK pay. But I will get a second job soon to work at nights and increase my monthly income to roughly 3200 after rent and all bills are paid. Plus my car is paid off and its a fucking camry the most reliable and cheap gas car and only 90k miles. Objectively Im in a lucky position. However, my work ethic comes from my struggles. I have diagnosed fibromyalgia and mental illneses meaning I deal with a LOT of physical and mental pain and tension simply put. Im either Go go go, or stay in bed all day and not want to live anymore. There is no middleground for me where I could be happy. Truly I agree with you though, health and ability/skills are most important. I've had to give up on health though, through my teen years my family has spent thousands on doctors for me and in my adult years ive spent thousands on myself and gotten nowhere. So I work hard and want to get rich for no good reason whatsoever. But I am learning handyman skills at the job I am doing and working breaking down AC units and becoming above average strong from lifting heavy shit all day and it helps me not focus on my suffering during the day, plus I have some medications that help too. I mean look from my perspective, I can put I wont say the exact amount, but over 10k and less than 50k just as a starting point in that VOO or something and compound atleast 2k monthly. Looking at an investment calculator, its insane how quickly it will grow. And though I wont have much in savings nor be able to own a house, maybe 10 years from now I want to buy a house and have the means to do so, or maybe I just keep holding it and become a multimillionaire in my late 30's or 40's. Im sure this is a flawed outlook, but its the only way I see right now. Without health, your goals tend to me dissatisfying and personally, I don't ever know how long Im going to live. Outside I look healthy and peoplr don't see it because Im young, but I have almost died from health complications in the past and I just never know when my time will come. I figure if I can't enjoy life that much, I might as well try to get rich, even knowing it wont make me happy.
Chinese pork companies in late 2000s. Lost a LOT of money lol
"the risk of them getting some government handouts" THANK A LOT... for your post...!! I had thought of many... aspects, but not this one. Which is VERY relevant !!! In an era where Trump wants to control EVERYTHING, the argument is entirely plausible !! (Too bad we can add only one point to the post...loll)
I started to be more conservative with my penny stock gambling and I did pretty well with BURU and DFLI but could have done a LOT better if I waited half a day longer. Prefacing this because now my FEMY play is getting to a point where I could safely exit at +12%. BUT feeling like I should hold on longer with what people are saying that one could get up there as well. I'll probably hold until tomorrow at least. Talking myself into it...
I’m a RDDT bull. Here is what I see. Facebook ad revenue is over 150 billion per year and Reddit is around 2. That is a LOT of marketshare to get. I wouldn’t say Facebook is “tired” just yet but it’s not shiny and new. More people will be migrating away from. Facebook than new users joining.
We already have a bunch of ads on Reddit. And I might get downvoted for this, although the ads are A LOT I don’t find them nearly as intrusive as any other site. Maybe because I can just scroll past it.
