> Perhaps most surprising is the hospitality sector's exposure. Marriott (MAR) and Hilton (HLT) face what the report calls "brand contagion risk" - where franchise-level decisions can quickly escalate into nationwide boycotts. This is what basically happened with McDonald's a few years ago because of the franchise model blowing up in their face. In McDonald's case some Israeli McDonald's offered big discounts to Israeli soldiers (discounts that McDonald's corporate had nothing to do with), which angered a bunch of people. So McDonald's in Muslim countries and areas with a large Muslim population started heavily boycotting them. IMO I don't think that there's anything that MAR and HLT and others with franchise models can do about this. And even if you implement some national policy one way or the other on the issue you're just going to piss people off all over again and draw attention to yourself by the people who will be angry at you.

I was selling calls and puts on MAR and the price would go right thru my strike for the rest of the week only to recover on the last day. It's like they were trying to scare me out of the position for some reason. The more I know about Marriott, the less I like them.

Simple Advice: Volatility was x3 higher in FEB/MAR then now, we are not even close to bursting if a bubble does exist and I've been hearing about this bubble for 5 years now at least. Yall need to touch grass, were okay still. Calls on Comcast, Sony, Verizon, Webull and Novo. You cant win without playing, call it or short it but forget the bubble for awhile.

I was all about $SOND for months. Partnership from MAR was golden. Defaulted payment/BOC then got kicked to curb by Marriot. Now company is under, liquidating assets and closing operations. Filed for Bankruptcy. Bottomed. and you get a squeeze. Go for the swing.

When $IXHL gets their sleep apnea drug approved in MAR/APR 2026 it will make many people millionaires. $ATCH went to $1.50+ from .36 cents on excellent earnings. It’s now back in the .30’s and earnings are coming back up. $COOT is in the beginning of a short squeeze right now.

Whether successful or not who knows, but I think there will be some attempt to keep the market going into midterms. Maybe you get a dip earlier in the year and then the pump after that. After midterms and into 2027 wouldn't surprise me if you had the mild bear market. "Most of the AI announcements are already in place." I think there can always be more of this kind of thing that one can imagine, but the thing that I think threw a lot of people this week was the hints at wanting government backstops. That was somewhat walked back, but the moment the OpenAI CFO talked about wanting the government to step in, I think a lot of people who were questioning the sustainability of the theme felt that offered confirmation of their skepticism. The consumer is increasingly concerning but still kind of a mixed bag. There are things that are looking awful - restaurants, CPG. Elf has a terrible quarter and goes down 35% in a day, then goes down another 5%. Celsius got obliterated. Chipotle is down just shy of 50% for the year. The biggest pawn shop co (FCFS) is having record quarters. And yet, travel - which is generally the first thing to go when the consumer cools - seems to be doing okay. Expedia was up 17% yesterday. HLT/MAR aren't having a great year, but they're still green for the year.

It's 2-leg execution in the classic "covered call" sense of it. It's a buy/sell - buy 100 shares, sell an option. They both execute at the same time. I have lost money twice: 1. Stupidly got caught up in unfounded excitement about WOLF a few months ago. They declared bankruptcy. Their stock went down 66%. Luckily, I had earned 33% back in premium, so my net loss was 33%. I partly credit this experience for me not getting into BYND or anything remotely similar since. Well, I did OPEN for a day and that worked out but I backed out early :) 2. I lost money on WULF. I bought them back in Feb or very early MAR. I chased lower premiums below my basis and got caught when they rose. I'm more careful about it now. There is no free money :)

I am retiring in February with a pension and eventual SS. That said, I hold a part time job that I started at $11 an hour that now has $600,000 in it's 401k. I am in the process of moving money to high divvy stocks and going to cash. I posted wayyyy back in MARCH that the s&p was going to 7512 by Jan 2026, so I have been invested accordningl;y. I believe there will be a significant correction in late FEB-MAR timeframe in 2026. Younger ones, who cares. Me? I will be 50% cash and the rest in ING (5+%), ENB (5+% AND YETH(WEEKLY DIVVY).

Nice position! Since Feb I've been loading up on call options, which were incredible cheap earlier in the year. My investment thesis was pretty simple - a F500, $50B company with 70%+MSS in servers and clients that is one of only three companies that can make the world's most advanced semis and was ***trading at book value***. If that wasn't enough, the current "make-it-in-America" administration commissioned a study into the industry with the only logical conclusion being they are too strategic to fail. Once Trump called for LBT to be fired (his way of inviting him to the White House) it was obvious that they were going to make Intel Foundry successful. Intel doesn't need cash nearly as much as Foundry customers, which is the only thing that will save it. At $35-$40 it's topped out on cash infusion news and trading ***way*** past fundamentals, but news of any **Foundry** business will propel it upward proportionally to the amount of business announced, which will likely be relatively small because 18A is not external-customer friendly (likely the reason that the NVDA announcement is about ***co-developing*** chips) and 14A has to be proven before any big customer (AAPL, NVDA, AMD, AVGO, QCOM) bets their revenue streams on it. But certainly a number of smaller deals across both nodes would be big news. My options range from March 2026 through Dec 2027. Earlier this year those were relatively cheap; for example my 20-MAR-2026 15C was $6.76 (screenshot from ThinkOrSwim). https://preview.redd.it/r83ag6t8htsf1.jpeg?width=1714&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ee1e7aadf0a69b223c3be26b739f70f38519fe41 Believing there will be Foundry announcements (driven behind closed doors by the current administration) I even bought some recently as you can see above such as the 19-MAR-2027 35C @ $11.15. I like the long dated options because 1) they qualify as capital gains after a year and 2) after Delta reaches 1 they simply grow linearly with the stock price which I expect only to go up over the next 2 years (in the case of DEC 2027 calls). So an investment of \~$138k this year netted about $300k. (The other semi investment this year was TSM @ $175). So the next significant jump will depend on news about Foundry customers, but keep in mind it's trading way past fundamentals as Foundry will continue significant billion dollar losses probably for ***at least 4 quarters***, and the 14A node is a big question mark regarding PPA and yields. There is also a real possibility Foundry could be spun-off (yes I know there are clauses regarding that in the government funding but nothing that prevents it, or it could be (gasp!) nationalized) which will likely be positive for the stock price. Therefore I think it's still a good stock or (long-dated) call option investment as there is tremendous hype around Intel as well as the administration backing it. Just my two cents.

What law says you can't beat the market? Sure, it's difficult and not many do it consistently, but it's definitely possible. You also have to ask, by what metric are we measuring? Total returns or CAGR? Or perhaps a return to risk ratio? But if so, which one? There are Shape, Sortino, Calmar, and MAR, or herphas VAR or CVAR... There's also a massive world beyond just stock picking or equities in general.

MntEverest77

Curious why you singled out MAR as opposed to any of the other investments, since any investment choices by a 4-8yr old (started at 4 now 8) is tough to imagine. There have been extremely young savants in music and other skills, so I'm not passing judgement here on anyone, was just curious.

Fauster

Edit: I don't believe this post is real, because I don't believe an 8-year-old invested in MAR. But, a lot of people commented so it is staying up.

Special_Builder_4171

Would you get the same results on SPYG? The MAR 26 87 strike is about 80 delta call (211 DTE - theta is -0.0099) is trading at about 15.50 versus about 84 for the APR 26 525 strike for VOO (about 80 delta with theta is about -0.05).

>The labor market is still holding up. Sure, unemployment has ticked up a little, but it’s nowhere near a collapse. Anti-T**mpers can't decide if the market is in ruin with rampant unemployment and a wave of silicon valley corporate AI destruction and governmental job loss and gen-Z can't get a job, gen-A can't get a job, Millenials and middle management and developers can't get a job - or if the job market is so sturdy that there's no justification for rate cuts. >Core PCE is hovering above 2.5 percent and closer to 2.7 or 2.8. That’s not a victory lap. That’s exactly the range where Powell has said he doesn’t have “confidence” inflation is under control. Cutting now would risk reigniting it and blowing up the last two years of progress. Sep 2024 - 2.4... Oct 2024 - 2.6... Nov 2024 - 2.7... JPOW was fine cutting rates at these levels just 1 year ago.

OkScholar7847

It seems to me that the extra leverage is not necessarily there to be used but to help prevent a margin call. I imagine you could use a lower percentage of the buying power for the same SPY beta-weighted delta. I am pretty basic with my options trades and still use a Reg T account but from my testing in option omega, there is an edge to staying within a certain size. As you go bigger, there is a potential for bigger gains but over a long period of time the drawdowns will get bigger as size increases and the MAR ratio gets progessively smaller as size increases and expectancy (average premium capture) gets smaller. Instead of looking at how much buying power I am using and trying to stay within 50% or whatever, I look at the differences over time of using different amounts of buying power. Your size has to be tailored to your strategy, risk tolerance, etc. Going too big will 100% destroy you and it doesn't take as much size as people think especially with options on ES or micro ES futures. That's just my 2 cents from the limited experience I have.

I remember a post that said we've never had a red APR after a double dip MAR. We might eek out that stat still.

p0st-m0dern

The *rate* of inflation has been decreasing while overall inflation has been increasing. If that sounds confusing, same for me. Here’s the increase in +/- JAN-MAR: * JAN +3.0% * FEB +2.8% * MAR + 2.4% Less food and energy, MAR is +2.8%. When we consider that fuel prices have been dropping somewhat significantly, less fuel (which has dropped 9.8%) the change is likely more than +2.8%. All in all, we’ve seen +8.2% inflation YTD while the dollar has dropped 10% in its steepest decline since 2008/2009 vs major currencies. All of this by itself? Nothing abnormal besides the rapid weakening of the USD and sharp decline in consumer & investor sentiment. When we consider tariffs against corroding international relations + investors dipping from Bonds and US Equities simultaneously, things can easily become catastrophic (with a spike in unemployment due to rising bottom-line costs for businesses serving as a catalyst). The ship on bringing manufacturing back to the US sailed long ago. Let’s hope the administration completely abandons any idea of tariffs because that alone is the difference of whether things will roll downhill in a way which can’t be stopped. Inflation numbers at this current moment are the least of our worries.

I made 150% on puts for MAR and HLT. I took 50% off the table on approximately 4/4. I still hold 4 puts for both dated July and September. Not a lot of volume. Mariott isn't my big bet. Hilton has a PE for 26 and had a PEG ratio over 2. I don't think HLT deserves a 26+ PE. Profitable, yes, but 26 growing 7% - 10% a year?

So on 27 MAR TLSA was trading at $275. On 27 MAR Wedbush issued a Maintain rating with a laughably whopping $550 price target. Today, less than two weeks later, TSLA trades at $215. And today Wedbush issues another Maintain rating, but lowers the price target from $550 to $315. Now if Wedbush really knew what is was doing, clearly a *downgrade* on 27 MAR from $550 to, say, $250 would have been a more prescient call.

Whatitsjk1

i cant stop thinking googl long calls will be a good buy. i am mostly eyeing 3 to 12 month long calls. for example, looking at the 20MAR2026 $160 calls; * Current underlying SP = 151.15 * delta 0.536 * Bid/Ask = 18.40 // 18.55 * 351 days DTE * IV @ 44.3% * IV percentile @ 84% Essentially has a ~~54% of being ITM in 351 days. breakeven is @ $178.40. and from 151.15 to BE is a 18.03% increase. however, looking at that last line is whats making it obvious that its not a great buy. the IV percentile is also to high for my liking. and looking at option profit calculator, it says PoP is 34.9%. so it even looks further like its a bad buy. so my questions are 1. what are your guy's thoughts? maybe hold off for now and revisit later? 2. how is PoP calculated? I cant use any other sources because i need to pay to be able to get PoP from those sites. only optionsprofitcalculator is free and gives PoP for free. the definition of PoP is "Probability of returning at least $0.01 at the time of expiry". but isnt Delta also synonymous to "probability of being ITM at expiry". so based on that, shouldnt PoP = Delta? (atleast at the current time of calculation)

Ordinary_Fold4839

Question on Options: Today on 01APR25 S&P500 is around 5600 and call option with 31MAR26 expiry (1 year) and 5600 strike is around 490 which is 8.75% of strike. Two scenarios - First, i put in 490 today and buy the call and at expiry the underlying is still at 5600 i lose 490 which is 8.75% of my S&P500 exposure. Second, i borrow 5600 at 8.75% and buy 1 unit of S&P500 and after 1 year it is still at 5600 so i don’t gain anything on it and lose 490 in interest charges due to borrow. So does it mean that for a stock market investor the cost of borrow is 8.75% for dollar currency as per above example? I am considering to go S&P500 long for long term and weighing whether to go with cash route vs options. If the above analysis is correct then it would seem like i will pay about 8.75% on my borrow but wont make 8.75% if i put my cash in a risk free asset.  Is the above analysis correct? Please point out any flaws in the above analysis. Responses are much appreciated

We had a market downturn in early MAR and we saw posts like this pop up every hour. Then the market propped back up mid MAR and all of the sudden this chattered completely disappeared. Now the market has another downturn and the chatter is back. We're talking about a timeframe of less than 4 weeks. You'll never know what the bottom is. My bet is if market goes down 20%, most people will become spooked. Most people will reset and think well let me wait until it drops by 25, 30... People who can't take seeing temporary paper losses, I'd say are more likely to be shy when all the doom/gloom/fear is in place - point being most will be very afraid to buy if the market is truly blood red and heavily tanking. Whole point of DCA is take all the guess work out. IF/when the market tanks, you get shares on the cheap. This strategy has made many millionaires over time from very modest investment amounts. I believe it's $200/month for 40 years gets you to a $1m on 10% annual average return - putting in just under $100k of capital.

Both are excellent businesses, but yeah: there is recession risk (beyond already eroding consumer confidence) and if that does happen travel is definitely not where you want to be. MAR is down about 19% off the recent high - for comparison in an extreme situation, it lost about 60% in that month in early Covid and about 70% from top to bottom in 2008. There's also the 3x short travel ETN (symbol: FLYD) but unfortunately it's an ETN and not an ETF so there are risks with that.

Using FDX as an example, 1. As of the close of trading on 03/13/2025, the Implied Volatility = 51.49%. 2. There are several different expirations starting with 14 MAR 25 and ending with 15 JAN 27. Next to each of these expirations, there is an Implied Volatility value. For example: \- 14 MAR 25 expiration = 49.09% (±6.414) \- 21 MAR 25 expiration = 79.88% (±24.01) \- 18 DEC 26 expiration = 32.18% (±88.428) 3. Under any given expiration, e.g. 21 MAR 25, for any given strike price for a put or call, there is an IV value for that put or call option. For example, the 255 CALL is 70.62%, the 235 PUT is 79.70%, the 195 PUT is 90.12% So we have an implied volatility for the stock (#1), another for each expiration (#2) and another for each call or put under each expiration (#3). How do all three of these types of implied volatility relate to each other?

15min ago I purchased the 11MAR 5570 SPX put for $31.20. It is already up to $34.00. I dont know if things are going to accelerate downhill tomorrow or not, but futures have held up pretty well the last few days

Yup got MAR puts. Just wondering if there was something specific.

I had 10 x Spy 570 puts 21 MAR, that I sold last week for $6500. If I held they would be worth over $16k....

Im loading up on MAR and RCL puts and will keep buying more. Look at the 1 year and 5 year they got LOTS of room to fall

Hmmm I got a SPY call for MAR 14, I think we get a pop before she lowers more, I believe this will be a down year, so pops and large fast drops, 540 base and a spoon shaped year, EOY back to 600 and beyond.

I've been beaten down on CSP and covered calls on ALAB. I forget where the stock price when I sold a CSP at $93. I was assigned shares. No big I will sell covered calls until the stock price rises back to $93. It's now $67. The stock price is what's killing me at the moment. Down $2300 in less than a month. There there's the $80 CSP MAR-21 that not helping. This market is brutal.

The ETF is holding futures contracts tied to the VIX. I suppose it is spread out over 5 months to lessen volatility as a single month could have a very sharp change in price. The rolling aspect is because the contracts will eventually close (or mature as you put it). Hypothetically let's say the ETF held FEB contracts that are now closed; that money would be rolled into JUL contracts 5 months out (or perhaps some spread of MAR/ARP/MAY/JUN/JUL). Any daily reset ETF will have a decay factor. They are not meant to be held long term.
