I’m so bad at this it hurts. RIVN - Sold my Puts for $50 profit end of day yesterday. Too early they’re down 4%. AEHR - Sold my calls at open this morning to break even feeling lucky. Up 14% now. APLD - Bought Puts before earnings. Not a big bet luckily but they’re up 27% since then.

I got a RIVN for December/2026. Up 175%. Please go to $22.

RIVN, TGT, NKE, HD, COST, AAPL, CAT Would all benefit since they are import heavy and are being impacted by higher costs.

You pay 100x whatever the price of the contract is so if the option is like 1.19 it’s $119 if it’s 0.12 it’s $12, $RIVN is a nice one to learn options on cheap and very volatile

Can't add a picture, but I just closed $19 RIVN call for 2.5% ($0.96) profit, outperforming Warren Buffet in the year 2025

RIVN is a good buy rn. Republicans mostly dont buy EVs. And there is a market of Dem US EV buyers that will never buy TSLA now. And with import controls on Chinese models, all RIVN really has to do is capture a small slice of that market and their valuation doubles. They're in a great position to do that with 5 bil-ish revenue and 24 bil-ish market cap, and recently just went cash flow positive. And they've got a good balance sheet. With a good position like that they're gonna be able to eat some market share esp if the prices of their cars comes down. And the cars are actually good. Goldman really got that one wrong. Just bc finance bros are called experts doesn't mean they know where the stock is heading.

ADynes

Goldman Sachs also lowered RIVN from 15 to 13 when they were at 16 and they are at $19 now. That alone makes me want to buy some SOFI.

You're correlating TSLA's fundamentals with its market movement, and you're trading scared, which means you just got lucky. TSLA is Elon, which makes TSLA more than EV. Without Elon, TSLA is RIVN. You're probably high on ROI and are just complaining really out of enthusiasm. Shorting TSLA is a thing of legend. It's almost a sure bet. We've all done it and will continue to do so. Be thankful you did well. It will not always be so. But you'll find out soon enough.

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

dvdmovie1

"This time I’m focusing on growth stocks that have a shot at outperforming the S&P" Optimally, a list to do this would include at least some things that are the "next" things, not a list of largely the same things you see on many Reddit lists today. GOOG doing well and AMZN probably near a bounce, but the default to Mag 7 as the tech exposure for an increasing amount of lists on here feels like there wasn't an attempt to research beyond the most obvious household names. I wouldn't own RIVN even though I think it probably is one of one or two EV names out of all the EV garbage that went public in 2020/21 that lasts. With few exceptions the automobile industry is not a good investment. RIVN will probably never get back to the post-IPO high. People still seem to treat the EV theme as if its 2020/21 when the market is telling you that it's not. Just as charging co CHPT, down about 70% in the last year and -99% from the peak. "PAAS" How about SII on a pullback? Rather than one mining company, the largest nat resource financial company. If more people pile into their physical and stock ETFs (as for the latter, SETM certainly has done well) and AUM goes up, more fees. A broader play on silver/gold/resources than one mine. Good luck and hope you do well, but I would refine the list some.

crazybutthole

Lol. RIVN sucks. Can you name any stock that sucks worse than RIVN? Then - we got a bet.

Tank_Smash23

Been there with the blown portfolio thing. Good call stepping back from options and day trading... that stuff can drain an account fast. Your picks are solid but pretty tech-heavy. GOOGL and AMZN are safe long-term holds. SOFI's interesting if you believe in fintech growth. RIVN is risky though... still burning cash and the EV space is crowded. PAAS seems random in that mix unless you're hedging with precious metals. Not a bad idea given everything going on. XEQT as your base is smart. Maybe do 60-70% in that and use the rest for your individual picks? That way if a couple don't pan out, you're still tracking the market. What's your timeline on these? Makes a difference for something volatile like RIVN vs the big tech names.

Best_Investigator_66

I'm not sure how RIVN got on to your list. I'm still bitter as I lost money on the stock but deliveries in 2025 slipped to \~ 42,247 vehicles (down \~18% year-over-year) and slightly below expectations, highlighting persistent soft demand for premium EVs after the federal $7,500 EV tax credit expired in September 2025. I would tread lightly with this one.

crazybutthole

Please reconsider RIVN. If you really think the company takes off - make it a tiny position so it doesn't drag your returns down too much. That company is shit. If you want an alternative - buy apg (ticker APG) they are a good company. If rivian out performs them by thanksgiving - i will by you a pizza on Black Friday. (Remind me)

m00se_hat

Your list has solid names, but I'd swap PAAS and RIVN for NVDA and MU since AI demand is exploding and those chips will power most of the growth in 2026. Keep GOOGL and AMZN as core holds, and SOFI could surprise if rates stay low and lending picks up. XEQT is a smart base for diversification.

100% RIVN and grab my junk

FormalOperational

I think most people are missing how Rivian is positioning itself as an EV platform provider in addition to an EV manufacturer. It took Tesla twelve years to become profitable from the time they began selling their first car. Unlike Tesla, which has struggled to actually ink any licensing deals for its hardware or software to date, Rivian was able to secure a $5.8B commitment from the VW Group within 4 years of its first vehicle rolling off the line, and the structure of the Rivian-VW joint venture ([RV Tech](https://rivianvw.tech/)) is the key differentiator here. VW is the sole source of capital investment into RV Tech as part of this deal. VW offered Rivian a $1B convertible note (which was of course converted and repaid with equity in RIVN) and $1.3B cash money in exchange for 1) 50% equity in RV Tech and 2) a licensing deal to use Rivian's existing IP in the meantime. VW will provide up to an additional $3.5B in funding for RV Tech through 2027. Rivian's main financial obligation is funding 25% of the shared platform R&D costs through 2028. And starting in 2029, VW will increase their funding by an incremental amount annually to further reduce Rivian's costs. This allows Rivian to develop its next-gen zonal architecture and base systems and infotainment software stacks using VW’s capital while retaining 50% ownership of the new IP. It's free real estate for Rivian. What Rivian considers its core DNA (drivetrain, battery design, and autonomy stack) are not part of this deal and will remain exclusive to them. Tesla’s valuation is definitely propped up by Musk hyping their energy, rideshare, and robotics divisions, but Rivian is the first EV startup to prove that its software and electronics architecture are valuable enough for a legacy giant to pivot its entire future toward it. With the R2 coming this year and the R3 in 2027/28, I just cannot see anything but growth for the company.

JoshL3253

I’m RIVN bag holder and I’m not delusional enough to think Rivian is like Tesla. lol. EV companies will normalized to regular car companies, high operating cost and low margins. Tesla is the exception to the norm, because if Musk pumping TSLA.

AMZN also lost billions because they invested in rivian that decided to plunge lol RIVN is a piece of shit company that has gone no where in years. RIVN creates generational bagholders

ADynes

80% of my gains in 2025 came from buying and selling RIVN shares and selling covered calls. With that said I sold when they got up to $18.50 (i was around $13.50 avg) and I don't think I'm going to get back unless they drop back sub $15s.

EvolvingDior

Long TSLA, short RIVN I guess. 🤮

HugeAd5056

Yeah INTC has had a good week. Same with LUNR. ASTS and NBIS rebounded very strongly today as well. I think I’d remove RIVN and the fintechs from the list, because they don’t really have an exclusive niche like the others. I didn’t know about selling shares against a call option. I’m guessing you mean shorting the stock to offset losses based on the delta of the call? I did try out PMCCs which has a similar effect. I did this vs HOOD and CRWV this week.

SpicyElixer

Why? EVs are becoming less popular in the US, and China is dominating everywhere they’re allowed to. I bought RIVN at like 8 and sold a 20. I’m done with EV stocks, personally.

Live-Improvement3169

My plays for the year are RIVN, SNAP, & RGTI. No plan to sell unless I get a good 50% return from here.

Apollo506

Long on ASTS/RKLB and, tangentially, RIVN. I don't give money to nazis that throw sig heils at rallies and i couldn't care less what he does. On a more specific note, i think it is likely that a SpaceX IPO would draw attention to the space industry and investment toward stocks that are more affordable, so i think if anything these will get a boost.

balancedchaos

For me, I've found small volatile companies I believe in like SOFI, RIVN, MARA, SOUN, OPEN and BBAI. Those are all $30 down to $5, so I run CSPs on whatever mix of them is advantageous at the moment (price has moved down, so premium has gone up and risk of further movement down would be an outlier situation). The next rung on the ladder is CRWV, but I'm a ways away from that. Gotta sell my SOFI shares first. 😁

RIVN out performing TSLA on 1y, ytd

stumblios

When TSLA started really taking off in 2020, there were a bunch of EV companies that went public via SPAC with huge valuations because of TSLA hype. Then they mostly all collapsed, I think RIVN is the only one above its SPAC levels. If SpaceX goes public at $1.5T, lets pretend launching is half that and satellite service is the other half (not the case, just for simple example). If RKLB and ASTS are able to offer the same service, then are they both worth $750B? Obviously more nuance than that, you can argue timelines, the Elon multiple, or a bunch of other factors. But there is evidence that a public company booming in one sector often raises the competitions valuations, at least temporarily, as people are looking for the next one.

I started investing fairly casually in 2022. But only with money that was expendable. That means I maxed out my employer 401k and in fact I contribute above and beyond at about 15%. That is money I don’t even think about. My Roth IRA is next. I max that out yearly and inside I only keep structural mega-trend stocks and ETFs that I think will have decades long tailwinds. For me personally that means nuclear energy, copper mining, grid infrastructure, defense, and cybersecurity. More recently I’ve added some inflation hedges. Lastly my individual account. This is my learning / play money and speculative account. It’s got all types of shit in it. NVO, RIVN, GOOGL, GLD and all types of ETFs. But THE ANCHOR is VTI (25%). I know this can seem boring and not as exciting as trading on margin or calls. But I’ve decided I will only sell calls if they are covered and will never touch margin in my life. It’s definitely not as sexy or exciting. But I was able to ride out the sideways/poopy market in 2022-2023 and I have only had to tax harvest one position (OXY).

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

I bought RIVN recently on a long hold. Anyone else big on it for 2026? $7.1 billion cash on hand to end Q3 and their R2 midsize SUV coming out in 2026 with a base price of around $45k. This is priced below the average US new vehicle price of $50k, which should expand their customer base and increase deliveries next year. I like the stock.

Rav_3d

Rivian is a great example. It was a losing stock for a very long time. Even now with the recent surge, it still needs to gain over 30% just to get back to the 2023 high. I purchased RIVN recently when it broke out from 18. I will add on pullbacks that hold support. This was 40% above the recent low. Do I care? No, because my stock is going up. Waiting for cheap stocks to prove themselves before committing capital allows that money to be better invested while waiting. And for every RIVN there are a dozen other stocks that will never come back. There's an old saying: if they don't scare you out, they will wear you out. It's anyone's guess when the bears will be worn out of NKE, but I'm not going to put my money into a loser when there are so many winners out there.

streetscraper

Buying the regular RIVN stock is enough of a bet (and an interesting one). Options make it too risky for the potential upside. This company will either go bankrupt or 10X within 5 years. So, an interesting bet. But not if you expose yourself to short term, narrow scenario with unlimited downside.
