This is where judgement comes in. First of all, because my strikes are about 95% OTM, I rarely get challenged. But if I do, I can simply allow the assignment (results in a short in the account) and deal with it the next day, or I can close early and take the loss (offset by many positives), or I can put on a no cost collar to limit the risk, or I can roll out the trade. Which alternative I choose is not mechanical and depends on the situation at the time... but remember at 2SD and diversified,, very infrequent for me.

I don't mind the questions as long as I'm being helpful. I keep a watchlist of companies and periodically do a quick review of their charts (graph, MACD and RSI). I avoid earnings and I don't want an issue that is strongly heading up..... I'm selling calls remember so a down move or peak MACD/RSI is goodness. I trade on a 4 week rolling window (right now I'm trading March 20). Once I choose a stock, I have a small spreadsheet model where I plug in the March 20 date, the current price, and the chain IV for that date (ATM IV is close enough) and the spreadsheet gives me a 2SD strike to consider. I then check the chain to see if a strike is available somewhere around the 2SD with premiums.....sometimes I use the mark. If premiums are available, I enter them along with the broker collateral into the model to compute a ROC. If 40% or more, I have a potential trade. Then the issue is quantity..... a judgement call here for income and the risk I want to take. I want diversification and I don't want to be greedy. If you are familiar with spreadsheets, the model is a simple formula to construct. Hope that helps.

“After the Reichstag Fire, the SD started compiling a card index of the Nazis' opponents. They could arrest and imprison anyone and worked on the asumption that suspects were guilty. Once imprisoned, it was difficult for anyone to prove their innocence. The SD was also responsible for tracking foreign opposition to the Nazis. This included censoring media. … The army became a visible presence in everyday German life. Flags, symbols and uniformed troops on the streets all created a clear impression of the power of the Nazi government. Together with the use of informants this made people very cautious in raising any opposition to Nazi policy or rule.” -BBC, “Why the Nazis were able to stay in power” Just because your personal red line hasn’t been crossed does not mean it is not instructive to call out parallels between the current American regime and the Nazi regime. The parallels are there. Whatever it is you are trying to do here isn’t helpful.

Buffett indicator can lag as much as 10+ years. From around 1955 to almost 1975, the indicator stayed above the +1SD line and touched +2SD many times… You don’t exactly want to rely on an indicator that says “we’re overvalued” for 20 years and only be right once during that whole time.

>(1010-)P303 is a phase 3 trial. You may think of it as a phase 3 trial in terms of size. But did not measure effectiveness.

Illegal immigrants mostly don’t get these benefits, but do pay into them (they do pay taxes, etc.). I’m not saying that that necessarily solves everything, but the arguments you’re using are untrue. So if you have an issue with immigrants, ask yourself what it really is, because again, the tax/benefit argument cannot be it.

Shorts are getting the thesis wrong and think SNDK just make SD cards, it's the same situation as when they thought NVDA just make GPU for games back in 2023. SNDK manufactures 3D NAND for their own products and their other 2 triopoly partners(STX and WDC), there's no competition because they work with each other and also MU.

TomatoSpecialist6879

Their forward pe is 44, where the fuck are you seeing 8 lmao. Their forward p/e hasn't been 8 since the run up in Oct. Also SNDK wasn't mispriced, shorts just targeted the entire memory storage sector thinking AI won't help them. They targeted SNDK in particular because their quants didn't tell them they don't just make SD cards, so lots of hedge funds got royally blown tf up. With that said, 1k is nothing. Its wall is at least $2k because of its small float and low market cap, I've been balls deep in it since Aug. It makes me bias, but I called NVDA and MSTR in 2023-2024 so I am confident this time too

Just look into the shortage of SD/SSD DRR3 and 4 NAND Flash and DRAM markets overall. Read about super cycles. Think if you’re a company needing memory in a market with not enough for everyone what are you going to do? What are you going to pay for it. When will this be over? Etc

BertM4cklin

You’re getting downvoted but as a memory commodity manager I’ve been on MU since August of 23. Writing was on the wall. SD,SSD , DDR3/4 market all basically fully allocated. People going to pay premium through 27 for all this stuff. It’s a money printing machine right now. I think MU to 500 before I think about getting out fully. I got in at 70 ish got out at 110 then got back in this June at about 116 cuz I started to hear “super cycle” just pulled my initial investment at 400 and am letting the rest ride.

If you are buying a service or product you are funding it. "An analysis by The Washington Post found that Musk and his firms have received $38 billion in the form of government contracts, loans, subsidies and tax credits over more than two decades that helped propel their growth. The Post found that almost two-thirds of the $38 billion in funds were allocated to Musk's companies within the last five years. It added that in 2024, federal and local governments provided at least $6.3 billion to Musk's companies, the highest amount to date." https://www.congress.gov/119/meeting/house/117956/documents/HMKP-119-JU00-20250226-SD003.pdf

How much are my 128mb SD cards worth now? Can I retire?

YouTube_WohltatTV

I prefer those atm due to NAND and SSD stortage and the imho upcoming HDD shortage: SK Hynix (HY9H @ Frankfurt), Micron (MU), Samsung (SMSN @ London), SanDisk (SNDK), AMD, Intel (INTC), Kioxia (KI5 @ Frankfurt, 285A @ Tokio), NVIDIA (not kidding). Maybe adding some more WDC and Seagate (STX). Just check DRAM (e.g. 96GB DDR5 6000 mhz), SSD prices (e.g. 16, 30, 32 TB) and HDD prices at your local price comparison website. DDR5 SD-RAM is more or less sold out or only available for 4x the price of November 2025.

Hello, John. How are you doing today? You mailed in my company a postcard a few weeks back, requesting information on penny stocks that had huge upside potential and very little downside risks. Does that ring a bell? Okay, great. The reason for the call today, John, is something just came across my desk, John. It is perhaps the best thing I've seen in the last six months. If you have 60 seconds, I'd like to share the idea with you. You got a minute? The name of the company, SNDK. It is a cutting edge high-tech firm out of the west coast, awaiting imminent patent approval on the next generation of micro SD cards that have both huge military and civilian applications. Now, right now, John, the stock trades $617.31 a share. And by the way, John, our analysts indicate it could go a heck of a lot higher than that. Your profit on a mere $6,000 investment would be upwards of $60,000! // When I originally posted this a few days ago it was trading at $416 a share LMAO.

Don't buy into this fantasy from retail punters. Wheeling is simply loss avoidance. 90% of you don't even know how to calculate the forward. You want a +EV and desperate to short vol? Short a half straddle at n-delta upside (30?). Buy 50 NVDA at 189 -> short 1 Feb 200C at 3.2. The Feb forward is at 190. You're short the (half unit) Feb 200 straddle at 16.4 vs 14 for the ATM. Day 1 strike touch = gain of 2.4 (ignores vol corr). Better EV. Better upside within 2SD and less than half the risk downside. You start with a half unit (synthetic straddle) to get your feet wet. You're already in shares and unlikely to create a taxable event.

As someone who has built data centers and works in HPC, I promise you that they are not using Cisco in them. They make overpriced, out-dated trash. You are going to use Nvidia infiniband(formerly Mellonox) or some kind of in-house open source SD-WAN. Cisco licensing alone would make your data center cost twice as much... not to mention the quality of Cisco hardware is absolute dog s\*\*\*. The only reason Cisco still exists is because they have the name.

Hi everyone, I’m looking for a small group of beta testers for a compact pass-through mouse jiggler I’ve been developing over the past several months. It’s a low-profile USB device that works alongside your existing mouse or receiver. You continue using your real mouse normally. The device runs fully offline, requires no drivers, and doesn’t install any software. I’m looking for people who spend long hours at a computer (developers, engineers, power users, etc.) and are comfortable giving honest feedback during early testing. Windows, macOS, and Linux users are all welcome. Preference is for Southern California (LA / OC / SD) for easier coordination, but I can ship nationwide if you’re a good fit. We’re an LLC registered in Huntington Beach, California. For transparency, we also provide an open-source HID monitoring tool (with full source code) so testers can see exactly how the device behaves. This is an early beta, not a finished consumer product, so I’m prioritizing thoughtful feedback over volume. If interested, please DM me with: 1. Your location 2. OS you use 3. How you’d describe your computer usage (work, dev, gaming, etc.) Thanks!

Not anytime soon. CXMT is probably at least several years behind Samsung, SK Hynix and Micron in the production of HBM and they're primarily focused on serving the Chinese market. YMTC currently doesn't produce any kind of DRAM (they produce NAND flash memory for SD cards or SSDs) but they're exploring technologies such as packaging that could eventually support HBM production in collaboration with CXMT. It takes years to get memory fabs up and running so the chance of the Chinese manufacturers flooding the market within the next 5 years is probably pretty slim. Samsung, Micron, and SK Hynix dominate the DRAM market, accounting for 90 to 95% of total revenue.

Ngl SNDK has been a hilarious out of the left field pick for me. Every retard kept repeating the memory thing like a boomer who can't tell the difference between a computer and a monitor. SNDK's only prosumer facing product benefiting from AI is storage, aka their mid tier SSDs, their SD cards aren't used at all. Only reason it's even benefitting is because WDC and STX have order backlog all the way till 2030, SNDK was a last resort that's equivalent to the eternal benchwarmer finally being called up

Top-Coach-7030

You're missing the fundamental difference between 1980/2011 and now. **1980 and 2011 were speculation-driven.** This is delivery-driven. **The facts:** 1. **Standing for delivery rates have doubled.** CME's own data shows 30-40% of contracts stood for delivery in 2023-2024. Since March 2025, it's 72-77%. That's not speculation - that's people demanding physical metal. 2. **COMEX registered inventory is collapsing.** July 2025: 194M oz. January 2026: 127M oz. That's 67M oz gone in 6 months - actual metal leaving vaults, not paper shuffling. 3. **The math doesn't work.** Current March OI: 101,870 contracts = 509M oz of claims. At 75% standing = 382M oz demanded. Against \~100M oz registered by FND. That's not a "bubble" - it's a 3:1 physical shortfall. 4. **Five consecutive years of structural deficit.** Silver Institute data. More silver consumed than mined every year since 2021. This isn't speculation - it's geology meets industrial demand. 5. **You mention the gold/silver ratio at 50 as bearish.** The historical average is actually 40-60. We're at the HIGH end of normal, not below it. The 80+ readings of recent years were the anomaly. 6. **Your "margin hike" thesis already failed.** CME hiked margins 30% in late December. Price dropped to $72, then ripped to $91. They just moved to 9% percentage-based margins. OI didn't drop - it increased by 1,106 contracts yesterday. 7. **Physical premiums are screaming.** Silver Eagles at SD Bullion: $102. Spot: $91. India physical: $137+. When physical leads paper by 10-50%, that's not speculation - that's a supply crisis. **The Hunt Brothers cornered a market with leverage. This is sovereigns and industrials taking delivery of metal that doesn't exist.** Different setup. Different outcome.

"complex architecture (like Great Zimbabwe)" You know that's just a mud berm, right? "sophisticated mathematics (Ishango Bone)" That's just notches in a bone. At best it's just counting. "(jazz, blues, hip-hop)" That's not from sub-Saharans. Those are from civilizations created by Whites. Blacks in the US also average 24% White admixture and have a 1.1SD higher IQ than Blacks. "modern innovation like the heart transplant" LOL, excuse me? Source? "Its people developed unique farming, trading, and societal structures, and its discoveries in science, art, and philosophy continue to influence the world."

Raspberry Pi is a tinkering device at best. Routers will continue to be better value. HDMI boards (Fire stick, Apple TV, Roku) will continue to be cheap and abundant in comparison. I own 3 raspberry pi’s but I will most likely not buy another because they kill SD cards all the time. If they are priced near a mini PC I’ll just buy more of those N100 isn’t that many more watts. People will be spending less on non essential devices like the Raspberry Pi.

Raspberry pi’s are crap and I say this as an engineer who’s bought 4 of them in the past. The price to performance is just not there. Pi’s Broadcom chips are bottom of the barrel. For most people the selling point of the Pi is its price point, but they forget that to run a Pi you also need to buy a good power supply, SSD (SD cards’s wear and tear is too unreliable), and a case with cooling fan. For the total price of a decent Pi setup, you’re much better off buying a mini PC like a Beelink S12 Pro which comes with a power supply and a hecking SSD, not to mention a proper x86 CPU. Don’t even get me started on the Pi’s graphics performance. Dual monitor 4K is complete bullshit unless you like your screens to run at 20 fps.

I more use it to guide when I should slow my roll. Take profit or move a stop. I mainly sell premium so if I see a leg down to a clear level of contention and liquidity, I’ll sell a put 1SD below that with 21-45 days exp. If it bounces, great I’m out with an easy 20% winner. If not I’ll hold for the duration until 50% take profit, roll at 21 days or my break even gets tested. A wedge like this is just sit back and wait until some sort of directly is shown. Let it do its thing when it’s so obvious.

Honestly it’s not much of a screener. I use bollinger bands to ID when the market is volatile. 1SD min, but 2 is better. Then I look at options with highest IV on barchart.com. I exclude any pharmaceuticals. Then I exclude any with upcoming earnings or big news in the last day or two. I review financials to make sure they aren’t about to go bankrupt. Finally, I look at r/wallstreetbets to see if they have traction there. Not a dealbreaker, but I price that in. Then, I write puts or covered calls if I can get ~10% a month. I have about a 70% win rate. I’ve had 3 plays go bankrupt in the last year, but they were offset by many that hit 90% of max profit in a couple days. I keep my sizing small, and manage positions weekly, often rolling out to capture more theta, especially for sideways market conditions. Hope that helps!

Tasty is a good options trading platform. I like the options chain with 1 and 2 SD moves already marked. They also make it easy to put on complex strategies. Their new backtesting feature is strong.

You're welcome, and thanks for all the ideas you packed into this reply. I added some more content to my OP about managing the long Calls, if you want to have a look. I get it with the CCs, and that's a debate I've been having with myself for the past couple months. I do see that they cap gains, but I also like that they buffer dips to an extent. So I see them as helping to even out the peaks and valleys a little. But I have gotten stricter with keeping them below 15-delta (a 2-SD move is 16-delta, right?), and they're behaving a little better. GLD, ohmygosh! I got in it big-time in March, with 90-day and longer Calls at 80-delta (I wasn't doing LEAPS yet), and my God, the leverage! Can I share [a screenshot](https://imgur.com/a/schwab-account-statement-11oct25-BLwTnhq) with you? Don't look at that if I can't! That's the best I've ever done in 3 months, and it was mostly due to GLD. I gave back about 25% of that when gold decided to get off the escalator on 10/20, but that's alright, it was exhilarating. Equities: if you mean stocks, I've given up on them. Only ETFs for me from now on. Because with the leverage of LEAPS Calls, you can make a good-trending ETF give stock-like returns without the single-issue risk. But rather than sit on cash until the correction that's bound to come comes, I wish you'd consider finding momentum ETFs. XBI has been good to me for almost 7 weeks now, and I can still recommend it.

Hardware upgrades, especially camera, is only reason for me to upgrade. Re-adding SD card would do it as well.

Stephen_085

My Galaxy S10+ still runs great. If Samsung hadn't ruined later releases by taking away my SD card slot, which I still use constantly. Or the Headphone jack, which I don't use as much, but use somewhat frequently. I probably would've upgraded by now. But I'm perfectly fine with what I have. Poor decisions on their end and rising costs are what caused this. My phone was like $600 when I launched. I paid full price at the time. Now the phones are $1000. No thanks.

I wrote this yesterday. After writing it, I saw an article about the ceo writing agreements to bring "exclusive flavors" for drinks in the store, which is somewhat in line with one of my arguments about what badge target unique. I wrote this in response to someone discussing the dei boycott that some people have done. ---- I just don't know that I buy this argument significantly. I used to be a frequent target shopper in the 2010s, more out of necessity because my area didn't have a Walmart for miles. I used to be impressed with the quality of some of their home goods for a retail store. They used to have great snacks that were exclusive to target, now companies aren't making those types of flavors anymore and just send all stores the same thing. They pushed store brand food so hard that they removed popular brands like Dole or Van Camp pork and beans. My washing machine (or I) wrecked my bathroom mats when I tried a new setting, so I went to get new ones. I bought their most constructed maps, and they just slip and slide on the floor versus the old ones that stayed in place, so I associate that with a quality drop in home goods. All of these little things add up to feelings of "I don't need to go to target". Also, I know that people are associating target with left leaning, but the two busiest Targets I've ever seen were in Rapid City and Sioux Falls, SD respectively. This is because of the geographical region they serve. I do live in a very left leaning area with 2.5x the population of the state of SD, and target has always been the place where I know that it won't be busy, that's even pre dei controversy.

selling calls on a down position drags your recovery. by selling calls now you are hoping meta chops sideways while you bleed theta and not recover back to spot price. 700 strike by march 2026 is inside the 1 SD move, you're most likely going to get assigned or have to roll at a loss. solution: sit. Dec 2026 is enough time buffer for trend reversal

I just don't know that I buy this argument significantly. I used to be a frequent target shopper in the 2010s, more out of necessity because my area didn't have a Walmart for miles. I used to be impressed with the quality of some of their home goods for a retail store. They used to have great snacks that were exclusive to target, now companies aren't making those types of flavors anymore and just send all stores the same thing. They pushed store brand food so hard that they removed popular brands like Dole or Van Camp pork and beans. My washing machine (or I) wrecked my bathroom mats when I tried a new setting, so I went to get new ones. I bought their most constructed maps, and they just slip and slide on the floor versus the old ones that stayed in place, so I associate that with a quality drop in home goods. All of these little things add up to feelings of "I don't need to go to target". Also, I know that people are associating target with left leaning, but the two busiest Targets I've ever seen were in Rapid City and Sioux Falls, SD respectively. This is because of the geographical region they serve. I do live in a very left leaning area with 2.5x the population of the state of SD, and target has always been the place where I know that it won't be busy, that's even pre dei controversy.

>I have been calculating stop losses using the 2SD of the expected move. So far twice already the 2SD expected move failed. On OPEN and AMZN. And how many times have they "succeeded"? Track it over time as any short duration can be different. As indicated in responses, it's a matter of IV and realized volatility. Note that the volatility risk premium is greater the shorter the DTE.

You dont have to be embarrassed. I actually really enjoy santa cruz, and even san fran. Not a fan of LA or SD personally.

Expected move is based on at the money vol. If that was actually the 2SD bound the yes it shouldn’t hit that much. But also, you wouldn’t have a vol smile. In reality, the return distribution has much fatter tails than a normal distribution would imply. In layman’s terms, you have 2 SD moves more often than a normal distribution would imply because returns do not actually follow a normal distribution. If that doesn’t make sense, I’m sure some YouTube videos on basic stats can describe what I’m talking about much more elegantly.

290C for 12/12 is roughly the market expected move at around 17delta ~1SD. 330C for 12/12 is 5 delta meaning as of friday market odds of being ITM 12/12 is 5%. both of these are pretty low delta and low gamma. but if you do get an outside move in your favor the delta of the 330C have far higher to travel (from 5 to 100) vs. the 270C (from 17 to 100), and also the gamma has far higher to go as well. but look at the breakeven points: for 270C it's $293.28 and for 330 it's $329.23. these kind of plays come down to hilarious amount of both luck AND you knowing better than the market such that unknown information MUST come to light that is in your favor, to a massive magnitude.

a lot of the peeps who respond to you r from shit places in the country im sure. they would love to live in SD (or CALI) for that matter....

WTF is wrong with San Diego? I went to UCSD. Beautiful school in a beautiful location (overlooking the bluffs). You must be a poor in SD. Solana beach is nice too. When I went to school in UCSD I lived in Del Mar. Just amazing.

The probability of a short strangle is directly related to moneyness/delta. But you're trading risk for probability by moving the legs around. The closer you are to the money the more premium you collect. The farther away from the money you are, the less likely a move is going to crush your position, but when your position gets crushed, it's worse. Time in the market is risk, so 45 days is not a great Idea. Exiting early is an absolute must for an expiration that far out (and otherwise), so you really want to find the a place in the term structure with a steep slope. That's way closer to expiration than 45 days. If you do that, you can set yourself up for faster profits on sideways moves. A covered short strangle is a short condor. Again, you do not collect enough premium for the big move, so you want to minimize your time in the market or have a view that the market will trade sideways. To give you an example, looking out 30 days, the SPX straddle is about $225. You can sell that and be green if SPX stays between 7075 and 6625. That's not a bad range. If you go 100 points away you've got a 6950/6750 short strangle for $140. Your profitable range is 7090 to 6610, not much better than the straddle but your max profit is down 38%. If everything goes your way and the price flatlines, a week from now, you will have made \~$35 on the straddle and \~30 on the strangle. That's just way too much risk with SPX which has an average weekly change of $17, but a sigma of $155. A single, normal one SD week and your straddle/strangle is cooked and you're trying to brave 6 of them. You've either taken a significant loss or you're praying for mean reversion. All that said, on average short term short strangles are green. The problem with them is they variability in returns is huge so you have to have really deep pockets to take advantage of the position. The best way to solve this is to have some view of the market that is better than random and set your positions up accordingly.

I only trade 0DTE SPX strangle. I deploy it when I think the market might chop. When I am wrong, I get stopped out. I also use very far OTM long legs to prevent a 3 SD move. So my position is water tight in terms of risk control The problem with 45DTE is too much uncertainty for me.

LoL I guess Rand Paul is really going to fuck up the government reopening for everyone because of his fucking gas station hemp grandstanding  https://x.com/news_jul/status/1987982310872949078?t=qPgL3Y2csAYO5HUf-SD2hw&s=19 Trump HAS to comment on cannabis rescheduling now, it's been three fucking months ever since he said he looking at making a determination on rescheduling, it's insane.

"build a strategy: Yes. I have a strategy in my trading plan that works. I tweak it every so often but not by much. "and blindly follow it without any additional support or indicator." That's right no technical analysis indicators. MA, MACD, RSI, Bollinger Bands, Keltner Channels, Gann, etc. However I do use a lot of fundamental analysis. I do that starting at 8:30AM (ET) by: Reviewing Asian markets activity (they're closed) Reviewing European market activity (they're mid day) Reviewing morning Economic Indicators (ADP, CPI, etc.) Reviewing AM earnings releases Fed upcoming activity Morning political activity and, especially, Morning futures market activity (e.s ES, YM, NQ, DX, GC, CL etc., ...and a few more things. By 9:30AM (ET) I'm ready to begin trading SPX 0DTE options. I generally let the market open for a 10-15 minutes and let it settle down. Then I look at Expected Move, IV, IVR and IV% and jump in with a Call and Put credit spread. Looks like a lopsided iron condor but in fact I trade the spreads separately. Some days the spreads are 1SD away from the money other days closer to 2SD. That's it.

Just play Q3 earnings. I played OSS and SD and HAE, although I put way less in HAE because stupid AI pushed me to SD more. Look at industries doing well, energy is a great earnings to bet on. I bet on DK today and they blew earnings out of the water.
