Im not saying Airbus is uninvestable, or not an okay company. But when going through 500 companies, I have to filter out the ones that are not the best. I would invite you to look at ASMLs eps growth and invite you to reflect on why there is a big difference, and do the same for revenue. After this, you should see the comparison between the stocks: [https://www.google.com/finance/quote/AIR:EPA?window=MAX&comparison=AMS%3AASML](https://www.google.com/finance/quote/AIR:EPA?window=MAX&comparison=AMS%3AASML) I would say that Airbus is no where near the quality of ASML, and I think most people would agree

It's like watching a dog eat shit. Your fractional shares and even most etfs (because they just add volume when the price gets too high) is just as cheap, if not less so than your options. You buy options because you want the leverage and MAX GAINZA not because it's all you can afford. Or you don't have the financial education to know the difference, which is even more reason why you shouldn't.

Agree with you. Besides that as a creative you may get help from AI but final finish you want your signature on it. You need those ADOBE tools, as was demonstrated at MAX. Besides, Experience Manager differentiates for enterprise use of ADOBE tools & integration. So far there is no commercial use of SORA creation to see law suites for infringements etc. Also there is no dent on revenue or margin and they are sticking to their forecast with double digit growth and cashflow positive for acquisition. Overblown hype by short sellers?

He made a nice profit but MAX profit would have been if he *didnt* buy the covered call

Not entirely sure how the whole: "it goes down when the dividends are paid" works since I invest on ETFS right now, Dividend & Growth etfs, but the price of companies don't necessarily go down all that much or if they do it might be for a week or so. Just basing this on stocks like JNJ, PG, PEP and ABBV. They only keep going up and they pay $1/share per dividend payout and their stocks don't necessarily go down one dollar for long. I do have reservations investing on anything thats on the red during their 5 year to MAX tenure graphs. Though if I'm incorrect I'd appreciate a clarification since that could help with deciding better company stocks.

Ithinktoodeep55

it doesnt matter, this stock is stuck and will not move. I can maybe paypal at 80/share by end of 2026 MAX, even if they exceed their guidances. I can't ever see this stock climbing above 100, ever again.

circadiggmigration

No it doesn't. That mindset will destroy any real money you have. LOSING money is always worse than an opportunity cost. There's not way to time "MAX GAINZNZ". There's always the chance the stock could shoot up another 5 percent. If you go into a trade with that mindset, you'll always be chasing a mythical price that you're willing to disregard all logic to acheive. Stop losses, on the other hand, are very real and service a crucial purpose.

That "MAX" time is missing a couple decades

If you're hesitant about the market, you could always invest it in the iShares MAX and TEN buffered ETFs which will give you a capped upside (7-17%) with either 10% or 100% downside protection. A blend of SMAX and STEN would give you a buffer till the end of Sept 26. You can also ladder the target dates.

What are you talking about. CPI has gone up since April every damn time. Employment is at historical averages and with AI I’m 100% sure we’re actually at MAX employment. What exactly is “short term” about this.

This place really does have a way of keeping a gambling addict foaming at the mouth. The game is rigged as fuck - so Naturally most of us will lose - The massive gain posts are always being pushed to the top of feed , again , not mad at the algos, but naturally, they are working as they should. For me personally, when I STOPPED blindly following people here, EVEN the plays with a 'good enough' DD etc, and really took a look at myself and my behavior when it comes to the trading, and instead of relentlessly searching for the right strategy on youtube etc, I looked at myself, and reverse engineer the strategy from there based on who I am and what I like. Personally, that is very tight and technical trades, I only trade tight dated options SPY, QQQ, TSLA, PLTR, and the occasional one off opportunity I might see, I only trade in the first 30 mins of market, I always enter trade with stop loss pre set, I make a MAX of 2 trades per day, Basically, I am a fucking ape, I love risk , i have been like this my whole life, I like seeing gains fast, but I needed to create rules for myself to be successful even in that high risk high leverage environment, now its simple, I follow the rules, I win, I violate, I lose, it takes a lot of the FOMO and the 'wish I would have held longer' mentality away. My average hold time on all contracts is about 5 minutes. When i stopped absorbing all of this fucking bullshit here is when my ALL chart turned to that beautiful green color we're all not so used to seeing. Anyway I don't even know why the fuck I wrote all that, but if you did read all of that - You have too much time on your hands.

That’s what I’m hoping but I’m act worried this will run to $5 or $7 which is madness but I’ve alr sold so im pissed. Im assuming its MAX a week of green then absolutely slammed into the floor by the men in black

MOONTOANDROMEDA

Cyclical as hell. Check GLD history. Always a 5-6% dip after a rally then a week - month later MAX back up. (This is what I get for buying the fuckin dip.)

Bobatronic

Very good point. Understanding uncertainty (as best you can) is the antidote for getting comfortable with a stock like this. I owned Boeing after the 737-MAX crisis, thinking the company would recover quickly. Production halted, lawsuits ensued, the company raised capital and diluted shares, and the employees went on strike.. For more than a year it was bad news after bad news. But, I’m reminded why I invested, making wide body airplanes is a worldwide duopoly. And they have space assets and services, beyond manufacturing. It’s taken a couple of years but stock has bounced back considerably. When I was essentially breakeven, slightly above my basis, I decided there is not much upside here and sold out. Too hard.

Learn all about automated stop-loss orders! How to use them optimally is a study in itself - a very profitable one!!   Learn how to place trailing stop orders. Refuse to lose any more than 5% MAX - William O’Neil’s classic IBD advice - and Chris Manning’s, too, if I recall correctly.  Maybe set the stop-loss at less than 5% if it’s a high price-per-share of stock. Don’t place the stop at round numbers. Don’t worry about market makers manipulating the price moves to shake you out of your trade on purpose. Your live-to-trade-another-day safety is what’s most important! But don’t be oblivious to market makers shenanigans, either.  There’s so much good stuff to learn to keep your cash safe.  Btw, automated stop-losses apparently work best in the futures markets…which is super-liquid.  A profitable trader I met told me he considered his entire job to be “risk management”!! P.S. Probably bad advice, here, lol. Ignore me!😂😃🤣😅

Impressive-Bee-5183

Oh man, I've seen this movie before and it doesn't end well. But let me give you the brutal honest truth since you're asking for realism. ## The Elephant in the Room: Your Sample Size is Basically Nothing You tested from **September 9 to October 17, 2025**. That's like 25-30 trading days, maybe? Dude. That's not a backtest. That's a *vibe check*. You need to see this strategy through: - Major Fed announcements (FOMC, CPI, NFP) - [VIX spikes above 30-40](https://www.cnbc.com/quotes/.VIX) - Flash crashes (like August 2024's Japan carry trade unwind) - Circuit breaker days - Election results - Bank failures - Random Trump tweets that move markets 5% **Your timeframe literally caught none of these.** You backtested during what looks like a relatively calm period. That's survivorship bias on steroids. ## The Math That Will Kill You Let's talk about your risk/reward here: > "both wings together cost only 10% of the Premium that we collected" So you're collecting $2.78 in premium and spending $0.28 on protection. That means: - **Max gain per trade:** ~$2.50 (after fees) - **Max loss per trade:** Could be $20-50+ depending on strike spacing You're risking **10-20x your max gain** on EVERY trade. This is the textbook definition of "picking up pennies in front of a steamroller." Look at your equity curve - you're making $50-150 per day but your purple max loss lines show you could lose $1,000+ in a single bad day. **One bad day wipes out 10-20 good days.** ## Real World Issues ChatGPT Missed **1. Pin Risk is Your Worst Enemy** You're trading 0DTE options that expire at 4pm. If SPY closes near your short strikes (say within $0.50), you have **massive pin risk**. You might get assigned on one leg but not the other, leaving you with a huge overnight position you didn't want. Example: SPY closes at $580.05, your short call is at $580. You might get assigned on the call (now short 100 shares per contract) but your long call at $582 expires worthless. You're now naked short shares overnight. If SPY gaps up Monday morning, you're fucked. **2. Bid-Ask Spreads During Volatility** Your backtest uses historical mid prices. In reality: - Normal market: 0.05-0.10 spread per leg = $0.20-0.40 slippage per butterfly - Volatile market: 0.20-0.50 spread per leg = $0.80-2.00 slippage per butterfly When you need to exit a losing trade fast, you're paying the ask on your shorts (to close) and selling at the bid on your longs. **That slippage could eat 30-50% of your premium collected.** **3. You Can't Always Exit When You Want** At 3:58pm on a fast-moving day, good luck getting filled on all four legs at reasonable prices. The market makers KNOW you're desperate to close and they'll quote you garbage prices. You might have to: - Eat massive slippage - Let it expire and pray - Get assigned and deal with the consequences Monday **4. The Real Fee Structure** You said $1.50 per contract on Interactive Brokers. But there's more: - Regulatory fees (exchange fees, OCC fees, SEC fees) - Assignment fees if you get exercised - Margin interest if you get assigned and hold overnight Real all-in cost is probably closer to $2-3 per contract, so $8-12 per butterfly. That cuts your small winners even smaller. **5. Margin Calls Will Liquidate You at the Worst Time** Let's say SPY drops hard at 3:45pm. Your account shows a big unrealized loss. Interactive Brokers sees this and says "your margin is insufficient" and **forcibly closes your position at market prices** right when spreads are widest. You don't get a choice. This happens ALL THE TIME with 0DTE traders. You get margin-called out of positions at the worst possible moment. ## The Historical Precedent: This Strategy ALWAYS Blows Up Eventually Go look up: - **OptionSellers.com** (blew up in 2018, lost clients $150M) - **LJM Preservation and Growth Fund** (down 82% in February 2018) - **Rogue Wave Capital** (similar short vol strategy, destroyed) These were professional funds with PhDs and millions in capital. They all ran variations of "sell options, collect premium, it's free money!" **They all blew up.** The pattern is always the same: 1. Make consistent small gains for months/years 2. Get overconfident, increase position size 3. Black swan event hits 4. Lose 50-100% of capital in one or two days 5. Fund closes, lawsuits begin ## What Would Actually Happen in Your First Month of Live Trading **Week 1-2:** "Holy shit this is working! I'm making $100-200/day!" **Week 3:** Small loss day, -$300. "That's fine, still up overall." **Week 4:** Another small loss, -$250. "Variance is normal." **Week 5:** CPI comes in hot. SPY drops 2% in 30 minutes. Your shorts are now deep ITM. You try to close but spreads are 10x wider than your backtest assumed. You close for -$2,000. **You just gave back 3 weeks of gains in one trade.** **Week 6:** You reduce size, scared. Make smaller gains. Confidence slowly returns. **Week 8:** Fed announcement. SPY moves 3% in the last hour. You can't exit fast enough. Margin call. IB liquidates you. **Final loss: -$5,000 on a $10,000 account.** ## The Data Quality Issue You're Ignoring > "This Data is collected via Yahoo Finance" Yahoo Finance options data is notoriously bad for backtesting because: - It shows the last traded price, not real-time bid/ask - It doesn't show the actual quotes available when you'd need to trade - It doesn't capture the bid-ask spread widening during volatility - Many strikes have stale prices or no trading volume [CBOE DataShop](https://datashop.cboe.com/) costs $2K for a reason - it's the actual exchange data showing real quotes. Your backtest is built on data that doesn't reflect what you'd actually face in live trading. ## The One-Month Timeframe is Laughable You need to test this through: - The COVID crash (March 2020) - SPY moved 10% daily - The Volmageddon event (February 2018) - VIX went from 15 to 50 overnight - The August 2024 Japan unwind - SPY gapped down 3% in minutes - The SVB banking crisis (March 2023) - The 2022 bear market with constant 2-3% daily swings **I guarantee your strategy would have blown up the account in ANY of those events.** Go get free data from somewhere and backtest 2020-2025. I bet you'll see your equity curve has multiple -80% to -100% drawdowns. ## What You Should Actually Do If you REALLY want to trade 0DTE: 1. **Test on 5+ years of data minimum** 2. **Paper trade for 3 months first** (not just backtest, actual live paper trading to feel the executions) 3. **Size tiny** - risk only 1-2% of account per trade, MAX 4. **Have hard stop losses** - close at -3x your max gain, no exceptions 5. **Skip high-volatility days** - if VIX > 20, don't trade 6. **Don't trade around major announcements** (FOMC, CPI, etc.) 7. **Have an exit plan BEFORE entry** - know exactly when you'll close But honestly? **This strategy is a ticking time bomb.** The math is against you. You're selling insurance with terrible risk/reward. Eventually, the crash comes, and it wipes you out. ## The Bottom Line Your backtest shows this works in calm markets. Cool. Everyone knows that. The question isn't "does this work when markets are calm?" It's **"what happens when markets aren't calm?"** And the answer is: you lose big, fast, and without warning. If you have $10K to trade with and you're okay losing $5K+ in a single day for a chance at making $100/day, then go for it. But don't say nobody warned you. The graveyard of retail traders is filled with people who had profitable 0DTE backtests. **TL;DR: Your backtest timeframe is way too short, you're not accounting for tail risk, the risk/reward is terrible (risking $1000 to make $100), and this strategy has a 100% historical failure rate over long enough timeframes. It WILL blow up your account eventually.** Anyone else here blown up an account on short premium strategies? I'd love to hear war stories.

Yes, the 2008 crisis was a shitstorm pre-made in 2005 and 2006, where there was super high leverage on mortgages (bluntly said, many already know the story, or just look at "the big short" to get an idea of it). Until the "consumer" could not pay anymore, everything went fine, the economy was booming. Then, all went crazy and nobody took it seriously for a while until we realized we were fu*ked. Now, AI companies are circle-je*king themselves and are a great part of our economies. It's not fine for the magnificent 7 companies make over 30% of the S&P 500. This is absolute horsesh*it. As a lot of people invest into index funds, especially the SPY, this can go wrong for a long time because the money is basically never ending. There are little to no dilutions from MAG7 companies, but they are leveraging on their "value" and borrowing a lot of money to burn for some imaginary AI use. If AI makes all the money, who will spend that money to finance the economy if the people get replaced by it (as is being done right now)? The consumer is a big part of the economy, yet AI is basically detrimental to the consumer as right now it's taking our jobs away in an agressive fashion. Instead of companies leveraging AI for business and making people work with it, they make them work against each other. If people have no income, companies don't have any either. And someone needs to pay for a valuation in the 100ds or 500ds (P/E) of some companies. This won't be able to keep up for more than 5 years. So, in general: AI borrows and burns a lot of money, living on a promise of some extraordinary thing. Yet AI is already cool/great enough to be used, but the implementation is wrong in many corporate policies. They have no excuse for their leverage and will fail miserably. Imagine investing trillions in AI chips just to buy new ones after MAX 4 years... And your profits? No real profit out of that investment really. Please ask me again if you need some more opinions and clarifications ;)

When is MAX PAIN ?! 

Bigb4nman

This classic euphoria when you're doing well. You have some capital now so I would trim the size of your positions to manage risk.  Do NOT quit your job. These gains are not sustainable.  To continue to get gains like you have experienced would mean taking an inordinate amount of risk.  What DTE are your positions? Why not buy some more theta on your next trade with 10% of your total capital MAX. This way you can risk it all and not get blown up but still have a chance at locking in the aggressive gains you seek. You definitely don't have enough to live on safely. Not even close unfortunately.

BESS battery efficiency ratio is maybe 90%, aka 1MWh charged = 0.9 MWh discharged. And you pay the electricity transfer price and cost in between for charging, unless you charge with local wind/solar etc. Let's say you install 50 MWh site. You can use effectively MAX 45 MWh of this. with 90% efficiency, you get 40,5 MWh. Now on an average day, you could get 50 $ / MWh benefit, so about 2025 $ / day on average, even if on 'some days' it could be more. 2025 x 365 = 739 125 $ per year 50 MWh site costs fully installed, not accounting for additional operation and maintenance costs are maybe 6,5M$ minimum. My estimates are actually based on facts, I have experience in the industry and direct links to BESS container suppliers/manufacturers. This monstrosity has a 8+ year PAYBACK TIME to break even, not accounting for operational costs, maintenance costs, and estimated lifespan is maybe 5-10 years for this. Now, it's a bit different for grid frequency balancing (IDK if that is common US, it's growing thing in EU), but this is not what you highlighted in the post. BESS is installed because the grid operators, renewable builders etc NEED to to protect the grid and their investments, but it's not good for what you outlined.

Boston-Bets

I think that it's the "pay the difference to do so" that's the problem with his position. I think he'd roll up and out further, at no/low cost, if he could, but he's got himself too far into the hole, and OPEN moves up/down too fast. Jane Street is manipulating it for MAX gain (to them) depending on how they see retail playing OPEN options. Main reason I won't touch OPEN options any more.

Man. Your on the wrong track. Ive been in the GOAT academy for years. My portfolio is up 295% MAX. I just cashed out 13k in options today. Where did I learn all this........... The GOAT academy. Felix comes from a bit of wealth. You havent done any research, he has public information out there a quick google search will reveal. You get on reddit crying about not being able to trade or afford. You are making assumptions that have no basis in reality. The dude travels between countries all the freaking time. If you dont pay a premium for the knowledge, you will most likely not take it seriously. These are serious guys with DECADES of market knowledge. Stop crying and do research man. This is pathetic. Without the GOAT academy, I most likely would not have cashed out 13k today. He gives trends and overall market sentiment that I havent found anywhere else on YouTube. Not saying its not out there. He has access to information that only institutions have and use. The guy is legit. The GOAT academy is legit. Honestly, you sound like you want a get rich quick guide. The GOAT academy is true market knowledge, from some insanely smart and well connected individuals. Stop crying on reddit man. It looks bad.

2250 is the MAX profit, IF spx expires exactly at 6700. Its -1$ or 100$ for the options multiplier for every pt ± away from 6700. So if at expiration spx is at 6990 you will profit 1250$ and same thing if spx is at 6710. Its a way to gain cheap upside exposure and have a wide profit range. I would not trade this on spy, only cash settled options like spx.

If you think deeper, there’s no reason to be upset. If you think that another MAX is to crash, now is the time to enter a short position, and wait. If you think that no MAX will crash again, what’s the problem?

Bruh, Lockheed lost out on BOTH the new fighter contracts. The have the F-35 maintenance contracts and some missile stuff, but that's already baked into the price. They also have the upcoming F-22 upgrades, but that's a small number. Northrop is where it's at. B-21 is getting going and looks primed for a good long production run with room for expansion into EW and C&C platforms. (Boeing got the new air force fighter contract, but that's balanced out by all the MAX screwups, so that's a wash.)

Well, no. It's possible IF you YOLO everything into one bet thinking you're going to be a millionare in weeks/months. I already made my $1M+, but it was a 5yr+ HODL YOYO on shares, not Options. Now every "bet" I make, is no more than 2% of my portfolio, and a MAX of 10% of Portfolio on Options. Easy to LOSE $$$, and much harder to make up losses.

JIM CRAMMER: "The new iPhones are incredible!!" I AM GONNA CANCEL MY PRO MAX ORDER AND CUT LOSS ON AAPL MONDAY

CheesecakeAsleep9891

I get a bit late into the trade. Around noon time. I wait for 2 things to happen. They don't usually happen everyday within the time window so I don't do it daily but they are kind of rules for me. I do 0 DTE 2-3 out of 5 days in a week. Following is the general strategy: \- I wait for daily high and lows to be established. \- Then, wait for the daily high or low to be retested. For example, if the daily high gets rejected, then sell the 15-20 delta OTM call spread. Same thing for the PUTS ( if daily low is tested as support, then sell 15-20 delta put spread) \- You must get atleast 1/10th of the credit. If it is less than that ( usually due to less time left), then it's not worth it. ( for example, I usually do $30-$40 wide spreads on NDX and get $3-$4 credit). So, the max risk is $3000 - $300 = $2700. \- Risk management: - Close at 50 - 70% profit. I don't wait around to get the option worthless. \- Loss management: Cover at 2.5x the original credit. So, if the credit was $3, then buy back at $7.5. NEVER EVER LET IT GO TO MAX LOSS. \- Make only 1 trade a day. As I said, I wait till the high/lows are established, so there is usually not enough time and premiums left to make multiple trades. \- I don't sell less than 15 Delta. There is just not enough credit to justify the risk.

You should only put 5-10% of your portfolio in these risky investments MAX. Also CGTX will be fine just hang in there and when it goes back up reduce your stake in it because you’re flying way too close to the sun.

My impression is that using an LLM as a private tutor is simply a better way to learn a language, tailored to your level. Duolingo is trying with their absurdly expensive MAX plan--better off just paying for a subscription to OpenAI and using it.

wasifaiboply

Not to worry, I'm sure when it topples, YOUR stop loss will be fine. You'll only lose 10% MAX and there's NO WAY you'll double, triple and quadruple down catching knives until your portfolio is zeroed out. No, not you, you're an investing genius right? 🤡🌎

That’s great, but not enough to be fucking around with risky stuff. I’m in the millions. You need to keep focusing on making and saving money. Max out all of your tax-advantaged accounts, seriously to the MAX, and then load any extra into index funds in your regular brokerage account. Build up are big solid base that really starts to benefit from compounding interest and dividends and such. Later on you can play with volatile stock plays. You aren’t there yet. Don’t fuck up and lose your money dude. Your ticket to wealth is earning as much money as possible and saving it and index funds. Again, you aren’t there yet. 🫡

Yeah, 12 is about MAX in my books as well. Will take that gamble, ended up buying some shares. Anything under $8 looks like a buy in my books.

When you sell a put you are contracting to BUY 100 shares of the underlying stock at the strike price -no matter what the current share price is- at the TOTAL pleasure/discretion of the buyer.... note that I said TOTAL! When you sell a call you are contracting to PROVIDE (Sell to the Buyer) 100 shares of the underlying stock at the strike price -no matter what the current share price is- at the TOTAL pleasure/discretion of the buyer... note that I said TOTAL! I would suggest you look up Scottishtrader here on Reddit and learn about his Wheel strategy. That is the fastest and best way to learn about options but it does take a LOT of time. In the interim stay away from 0 dte or ANY short dte option selling or, especially, short dte buying of options. Once you have Scottishtraders system profitable start looking at CC's or PMCC's using LEAPS on REALLY GOOD companies... NO garbage or yolo's. Trade only a small percentage of your total account size on any ONE trade. If your account is $25k or less risk a MAX of 5% of your account size on any one trade. If your account size is larger go to an even smaller percentage at risk on any one trade. Best of Luck, Twilighter.

What will happen if it’s diluted? I guess you mix taking the rational risk with haphazard risk taking… being cheap doesn’t mean it won’t go even lower and if they have a breakthrough it’s not now!!! Management sucks, all they have couple of millions to survive, keep paying out of pocket, max revenue is MAX max $50-$100k… All in all shitstock!!! Be careful my friend!!!

Dude…. The best advice you will ever get is right here. If you can follow these two rules you will get further than most. 1. Never hope for a stock to do anything, it does what it does. If it goes up, great. Move you stop to breakeven at then of day. 2. Never ever hold a stock that is red. I if it’s red it’s dead. Every time you buy a stock and it does not do what you thought it would do (go up) you sell it. Use a strict stop loss preferably of 1-2% or low of the day that you bought it MAX. Your portfolio should always be green. Never marry a stock. The people that make it in this game they think defensive first. Your job is to try and not loose money first

PSA: ONLY SELL COVERED CALLS AT A STRIKE THAT WILL GIVE YOU A SUFFICIENT PROFIT SO THAT YOU AREN'T TORN UP WITH REGRET OVER AN EXECUTION. EXECUTION IS YOUR MAX PROFIT FOR COVERED CALLS. I'd suggest considering using the strategy only to take profit on an already deeply profitable yet unrealized position.

Other Housing/Real Estate/Land stocks did great too.  RE/MAX up 9%, Lennox up 3%, Lennar up 5%, Home Depot up 3.5%, Texas Pacific Land up 3.5%, Public Storage up 2%-- I mean the list goes on and on.  If you bet on a dovish fed you were winning today, point blank period.

I feel a lil bad for u gbers like it’s really so hard to make money off a short lmao. 9% MAX

This a quick strike baby . bottom reversal + news catalyst short swing play. We in , we out . Ima hold for hours/days MAX 

False_Ad1536

Dude yes and it really sucks when it all goes but you will learn and be better for it (hopefully) My number one rule is only use 20% MAX (usually less) of total portfolio for options at any time. Basically whatever you are fine with losing- that is options money. Because no matter how sure you think you are about the play options is just glorified gambling!!

TakeMyL

They’re a tad overvalued And the regulation risks are not actual verified things, but- more based on my personal risk assessment with how they’ve been adding regulations on healthier eating/reatricting dyes, sugar, etc. Dutch bros- primarily, sells drinks with sugar content far exceeding most other places, which is pretty easy to be singled out to make an example out of “no more then 50 grams of sugar in a drink” Which ngl is pretty reasonable even as an advid Dutch bros drinker - since the daily MAX is meant to be like 25g, And they have drinks ranging upwards of 130grams in a single drink

FSKAX, has around 3900 stocks and represents the total market. With an expense ratio of .01 to .02%. FDGRX holds less than 600 stocks and has an expense ration of .52% (Expense ratios are important BUT shouldn't stop you if the performance/risk profile is better, unless the expenses are outrageous) FSKAX has "average" risk. Meaning, you are accepting the risk of the entire market. FDGRX has more risk because the concentration is focused on growth. FSKAX has about 1% dividend yield so some companies pay dividends. FDGRX has a 0% (or very close) dividend yield so the companies focus is appreciation only. As you can tell by the expense ratios, FSKAX is passively managed. FDGRX is actively managed. By sector: FSKAX is 31% Tech, 14% Financial services, 11% Consumer cyclicals, 10% healthcare, 9% communications. FDGRX is 47% Tech, 16.5% Consumer cyclical, 13% Communications. 11% healthcare. <5% Financial services. Based on past performance, FDGRX should(don't hold me to it) outperform. BUT(always), will likely have more volatility. If you can stand the drops in Tech when that happens, and ride it out, it might work out a lot better. I am an ETF (VTI, VUG) person. But Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, all carry the same(or so close) products. As someone pointed out yesterday, there seems to be a fascination(cult following?) with Invesco. Go figure. Just be consistent in contributing, and MAX out your Roth IRA every year. As I am near/at retirement, the Roth provides so much more flexibility, and also in estate planning because it avoids probate.(Unless the rules change). Best of luck. Just keep at it.

There is a bell curve example of this somewhere I saw it through a podcast recently mentioned where if you have 10 stocks you likely can outperform the S&P500 by 1-5x if you have 20 stocks you can outperform the S&P500 by 20-100% and if you have more then 25-30 stocks your likely matching with high risk the S&P500… It’s a mathematical theory that’s been proven many times. I would stick to a MAX of 20

The bottleneck doesn't matter right now. Samsung's fabs have fallen behind TSMC's so much that no major fabless designer (NVIDIA, AMD, Google, QC) is using them for their cutting edge chips. Every time a chip has been made by Samsung or split between Samsung/TSMC, the performance/efficiency of the Samsung chips lags behind and the customer eventually switches the production to TSMC. However, rumors are that both NVIDIA and Qualcomm are looking to move to Samsung for their next line, which is something I would have to see before I believed. Not that I don't think all of these fabless designers aren't praying that Samsung gets their shit together. They all want to be able to play each foundry company against each other for discounts just like airlines do with Boeing and Airbus. Though Boeing has been eating shit with all their delays (even if you exclude the 737 MAX debacle) for at least a decade now.

DUOL Really weak sequential DAU growth (just 1.1m adds vs 6m in 1Q) seems to screen like the AI backlash is starting to bite, but market seems to be overlooking that in favor of rev/bookings beat OR positioning was more bearish than expected going in. Either way, thesis that DAU growth will continue to deteriorate + its MAX product is basically a chatgpt wrapper lmao. Have been in $400 Nov puts since early Jun so it is what it is, we ride.

Soo I started out and went full obsession myself... to the point I was looking at my portfolio every 15 minutes. Constantly trying to time the market only to miss most of the time. Then I would be constantly asking myself why did u just not do X Y or Z. Really eating at mental state. in hindsight its so easy to 20x your money but in reality unless you are willing to risk it all its not, At least not in a few years (Maybe a decade or 2) That being said I utterly believe in stock market to generate wealth. The world is only becoming more ME ME ME ME and Ruthless so great companies will always do well. I highly recommend starting out with 1-3 Companies u have FULL faith in. (Please don't go for meme stocks) + Add a ETF Tips from someone who made mistakes: 1 - Please DCA (meaning put X amount every month into stocks) Please trust me that timing the market is not only impossible it is also mentally draining.. Not investing = fomo'ing to see stock go up and investing all = stress and worry of stock going down. 2 - Always keep extra free cash available to buy big dips. Especially in volatile market that we have today I would consider at least 20% cash ready to invest on big dips or corrections. Don't wait for big crashes either just DCA this extra money >> Market down 5% on Friday? Good put in 15% of your free cash. Down the next week to 10%? Put in 25-30% from your free cash >> Down another 15/20% add more... U get the idea. 3 - Go for 1-3 companies MAX use maybe 20-30% of what u wanna invest on those picks and the rest put it into an ETF (I would recommend All World ETF) You could also put like 5-10% into bitcoin/gold 4 - When it comes to these self picked companies make strict rules that you have to hold them a minimum of 2 years. (So really need to be quality companies that aren't overpriced) 5 - Last work with price alerts and determine what price you will use your (BUy the dip money) and forget about the app try to look at it like once a month or whenever the alerts pop.

I have done a couple other DD posts on this that have gained some traction. But there is REAL movement happening and this pop is going to hit ANY day now! So RIGHT NOW might be the perfect time to jump in on PSTV. A short-term move to $3–$4 looks likely within the next couple weeks. I spent about 2 hours getting all of this laid out for this post. So I hope my DD does SOME justice.... Commercial rollout of their CNSide platform is underway. (Quite literally going public with the next 14 dayys, MAX) with plans to slowly distribute nationally over the next 13 months. They have the backing of a very major hospitals and institutions, and have been praised by renown doctors and scientists around the country. Let's not forget the over $18 million dollars in grants they've already received from the government as well. They’re presenting at the SNO/ASCO CNS Metastases Conference (August 14–16) a MAJOR event with MANY eyes on their tech. This isn't one of those “wait and hope” biotechs. PSTV is already active, progressing on multiple fronts. Analysts have given it targets between $10–$15, with a max bull case at $32. Not hype AT ALL... There is real institutional coverage backing this. And if all that wasn't enough... we have, The REYOBIQ Catalyst PSTV’s drug REYOBIQ is showing overwhelming success in clinical trials for treating leptomeningeal metastases... one of the toughest brain cancer-related conditions known to man. This is a summary report directly from stock titan... "Plus Therapeutics (NASDAQ:PSTV) has announced the successful treatment of initial patients in its ReSPECT-LM dose optimization trial for REYOBIQ™ (rhenium Re186 obisbemeda) targeting leptomeningeal metastases (LM). The trial follows promising Phase 1 results where 5 out of 7 patients achieved over 80% reduction in LM tumor cells and survived at least one year post-treatment. The dose optimization study, supported by a $17.6 million CPRIT grant, aims to determine optimal dosing for efficacy and safety in alignment with FDA's Project Optimus. The company expects to complete Cohort 1 enrollment by year-end and plans to present additional Phase 1 data at the SNO/ASCO CNS Metastases Conference in August 2025." So there you have it ...This is EVERYTHING I have... I've laid it All out on the table for you. I did all my own DD. Typed MOST of this out. And used chat GPT only to cut through some of the fat. This is shaping up to be huge. Not a long term waiting game...catalysts are already in motion. Do your own due diligence, but don’t sleep on this. The train is moving. I want US ALL to eat. So get in while you can 🥂

Big news could be dropping before AUG 15 — the CEO could announce a private restructuring and maturity extension on $93.8M convertible notes due nov. This move would: Remove huge debt overhang Avoid nasty dilution/ reverse split Give GoPro more runway to crush it with MAX2 & subscriptions 📈If this hits, expect a rally pushing GPRO from $1.30 up to $2+ — a potential short squeeze catalyst! Why is the probability of this extremely high? 1: CEO wants to avoid dilution &amp; preserve the stock price. He’s shown relentlessly how much he cares about his company debt, to the point where he waived his 850k salary! That’s how a real founder CEO behaves. 2. Institutional noteholders prefer restructuring over messy defaults or fire sales 3. Recent similar deals in tech companies make this a common&realistic path Eyes on filings &amp;news in the next 3 weeks — this could be the turnaround spark GoPro investors have been waiting for! Copied from 212 Looks interesting, I’m following!

CVNA is running because there's too many investors trying to short the stock, or everyone loaded up on PUTs. If everyone sold their PUTs and only CALLs remained... the MAX PAIN would plummet, and eventually, the stock price as well. MM/HF don't care what the price is on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. They make their money by selling you options and then, they wobble the price enough to lower the IV. The value drops. Most investors sell [stop loss or they panic]. They collect your premium, and you walk away with nothing. I agree with you. CVNA is overvalued, however, I lost too much money trying to predict the upaide/downside of this stock. It's damn near impossible. Almost like they're watching my account.

you have alternatives for Azure: AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle... you have competition for M365 productivity on Google on business applications MSFT competes with SAP, SalesForce, Oracle, MAX... on AI MSFT position as the AI as a platform, way more than Copilot, although Copilot is the right strategy to serve as the UI to run AI. Challenging is to find another company offering all that... it doesn't exist.

If you are going to play in SGOV you really should be in Treasury Direct. You can pick all sorts of durations. and just about anything the Treasury has, Public Auctions for. CMBs are not eligible since they are only allowed to be bid on by primary dealers. You can reup up to 5 times, I think, and MAX of $10mm per auction. As per leaps, when AAPL was trading at $170 not so long ago, I went hog wild for DEC. 2027- 250-300-325-350-400-440. Why don't you try to explain why that was a bad move? When PLTR went Publi I traded for one of the firms that managed the issue and bought 1,000 @ the initial price of $7.50 I think it was. Right now own DEC.2025 100's, DEc 2026 150, 175, 200 and DEC.2027-150,175,200.220. Why don't you lecture me on why I should only buy LEAPS when Fear and Greed index tanks to 25 or below.Your technical analysis is pure TECHNICAL BS. My former firm has this to say about, I;m sure you are a lot smarter tan they are but just for shits and giggles try this on for size- Goldman Sachs' recommendations or strategies that might involve LEAPS focus on using them strategically for specific investment goals like generating returns or hedging against market declines, particularly when the market shows signs of potential downturns or the opportunity for a long-term play appears favorable. However, it is always crucial to carefully evaluate the risks involved and ensure LEAPS align with your investment profile before engaging in any such trades.

For MAX return? I'd put it in a Bitcoin ETF first, like FBTC or IBIT Second choice if you wanna be a little less risky, I'd put it into QQQM. (Nasdaq). Final choice (about the same risk as #3). S&P 500. VOO. Don't panic sell if your money goes down in value between now and 5 years from now! Investing is a long term game.

learn to day trade using a system. I can tell you right now no one had any business in that stock after 2am PST Wed night. Once it loses a key lvl it doesnt just magically bounce back. You should have been out at 17 bucks. MAX 16. letting it drop to 15 is amateur hour. this is why the finance bros on twitter drive ferraris.
