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.

"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.

They can, but unless there is a serious lack of ability, they won’t. Been around the company long enough (][e) to see things come and go with them. This is why they had their own … almost everything and now even the apple silicon chips. They don’t use either one of the biggest chip makers, they have gone their own way with displays and ports, their own OS, and everything back to HyperCard. Could they license Alexa? Siri? Google maps? Sure. But will they? They don’t even want us to use SD nor SSD anymore.

Yeah. Deep dived with my buddy last night on this. Traced wallets. Found only 1 irregularity. Jury is out on whether or not that is a red flag or not. I’m up nearly 100%, which is nice. Looks like there was rug attempts, but I’m assuming there is either a bot or a person trading the inverse of the ruggers. Weird! From an optimistic point of view, the nonexistent marketing would make sense if it was being run by a government offshoot, that might have a closed their office until the end of the gov SD. What an odd one…. Hoping the community weighs in.

that's my point. we're so much earlier than people in the media seem to describe. they often make it sound like what we have available today is going to be essentially the same in ten years. yes i use OS models regularly and just a year ago i had to spend almost 5x on cloud compute to accomplish the same effect that i now get whilst using distilled models. even more impressive are the improvements in my hobby use of AI at home. just look at what SD used to produce with 30 steps about two years ago. and now i can get the same level of quality with a 4 step WAN. the energy use went down over 90% just looking at the resource monitor. i see no reason why this same evolution shouldn't be happening in applied ML. finally, we should acknowledge that for now, an immense amount of compute is used for training in order to produce marketable models you can charge real world fees for. there is a limit to how much training is necessary to generate useful inference results. and as you know, inference compute is vastly less compute intensive than training. i foresee a plateau at some point soon-ish. you get marginal improvements for enormous cost and eventually "good enough" wins out over "best possible".

So that we're all clear about terminology: a PMCC is just a Call you own (that's a year or more out, so it's a LEAPS Call), that you sell 'Covered Calls' against. They're not technically called CCs in this context, but they behave exactly the same; the short Calls don't know whether it's shares or Calls backing them ("covered"), or just cash ("naked"). A short Call is a short Call. Okay, here are "the rules." Not THE RULES, or the ONLY rules, but SOME rules that work. TastyTrade gets credit for the short Calls, but I'm not sure about the long Calls. **BUY Calls at 80-delta** or higher, **at least 1 year out**. Go 2 or 3 if you want. **SELL Calls at 30-delta 30-45 days out.** Search around the interwebs and you'll see these guidelines all over the place. The numbers may differ a bit, but this is the general consensus. My personal modifications: I NEVER deviate from 80-delta. I buy 100-120DTE Calls *only with profits from LEAPS Calls.* (That's elsewhere in this thread.) That profit is taken out by rolling them UP as they go deeper ITM. Also roll OUT when needed, to keep them beyond the 1yr mark. Short Calls: Lean hard on the 30 days. Even down to 28 days/4 weeks. So maybe on a weekend you're setting up trades for Monday, it's okay with me if you go just 4 weeks out. Calls sold at 30-delta get run over a lot, so I've backed off to 20 to 25-delta. Even down to 16-delta, the 1SD, or Expected Move, with some tickers. Buy them back when they've lost half their value (half of what you sold them for; you're buying low and selling high, but backwards). When to roll those? Before the go ITM, for sure. Ones I've sold at 30-delta, generally when they hit 40-45 delta. Ones I've sold at 20-delta or less, when they hit 30-delta. But none of these "rules" are hard and fast; a lot of things work with options.

Let me lay out for you what I do. This'll be long, so grab a Coke or something. Use [Barchart to screen ](https://imgur.com/a/barchart-etf-screening-VbwTWxy)for good-performing ETFs. That's a short video I'd put together on how I do it. I sort them by 3-month performance, but look at 6-month charts. You want 'up' of course, but 'smooth' mainly. Just look at the charts, and don't overthink it. [Momentum persists](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0927538X18303998?via%3Dihub#preview-section-references), and this way works as well as any other. Pick 5 for some diversity. Then buy Calls: 80-delta minimum, ALWAYS. A year out is best, but 100-120 days is okay. Divide up your money into 5 chunks and buy that many Calls of each. If you want (I do), sell Calls against them. Not exactly "Covered Calls," but they behave exactly the same. I'm just looking for a little extra "juice," so I sell them at 16-delta, which is the 1SD point, or the Expected Move. And you're 'supposed' to sell those 30-45DTE, but at the very least, lean hard on the 30 days. I do 2 weeks. Buy the short Calls back when they've lost half their value. Sell some more. Many ways to handle the long Calls, but this is what I do: When they appreciate, their Delta goes up. As soon as the strike below them (a higher strike) gets to 80-delta, I sell the current Call and buy that new one: I've rolled UP. That takes profit out of the Call. When you have enough of that profit as cash, buy another Call (then of course sell another 'CC'). You don't *have* to do that, but it puts that profit to work in new positions, rather than leaving it locked up in the old Calls. When time passes and the original Calls get inside 1 year (or 100DTE), then wait till there's enough profit in them to roll them OUT in time, back to 80-delta in whatever timeframe you're working in. Here's a nuance: Only buy LEAPS Calls, those that are a year out or more. Take profit out of them as before. But *now* when you have enough profit, buy a 100-120DTE Call. 100-120DTE isn't as safe as 1 year, but what you're doing now is using *house money* to play those. Your main investment stays in the 80-delta LEAPS Calls, but your "play money" is in the closer-in-time, riskier Calls. Try it with GLD (or IAU) and/or SILJ, or the precious metals ETF XME. You'll be amazed at the returns if current trends hold.

Hi, I can't help you too much with a "regular" Call debit spread, but there at the end you got into all I do now: Poor Man's Covered Calls against 80-delta Calls a year out or more. You're right in seeing that as similar to a Debit spread. It's also similar to a Calendar spread. In fact, it's a blend of the two. But forget what they call it, how about this: Ever buy stocks? Sure. Ever sold Calls against them (Covered Calls)? Probably. It's the simplest and safest thing you can do with options. Same idea with Calls you own: You buy a deep ITM Call pretty far out. *It acts as a stock substitute.* Then you sell CCs against that pseudo stock. You're long the stock, and you sell CCs to make it pay rent for being in your portfolio. I buy Calls at 80-delta, >1y out. Then I sell 2-week Calls at 20-delta or less; usually 16-delta, which is the 1SD Expected Move point. I gave up selling Weeklies, but Monthlies are too long for me, so I'm finding that 2w is a good compromise. Buy those back when they lose half their value.

Hi, are these CCs your first foray into the wonderful world of options? You've probably done fine on those, I haven't looked yet, but if you're new I'd implore you to read a book. This one is solid without being too technical and dense:  [Options for the Beginner and Beyond,](https://www.r-5.org/files/books/trading/schoolbooks/W_Edward_Olmstead-Options_for_the_Beginner_and_Beyond-EN.pdf) by Professor (of Applied Mathematics) Olmstead of Northwestern University And just read Chapters 1 through 5 for now, skipping over any discussion of Puts. But add Chapter 14 for the Covered Calls you're already doing. Then read Chapter 7, Assignment Anxiety, to learn why you don't need to worry much at all about your covered shares getting called away. The standard recommendation is to sell Calls 30-45 days out (so you're in too tight with 1 week) and at 30-delta. Though if you find those are getting consistently run over and you just don't want to bother with rolling them all the time, you can certainly back down to 25 or even 20-delta. And oh yeah, now that I've looked, you probably sold those TSLA Calls *way* OTM. Maybe 5 or 6-delta when you sold them? You could've sold them at 16-delta for about 3 times as much, probably. 16-delta is significant because it's "the 1SD move," or what your trading platform might show as Expected Move. But a lot of things work; heck, you could sell them ATM if you wanted and not worry much about assignment, as Chapter 7 will tell you. Your AAPL call is at 32-delta now, so you might've sold it a little close to the money. GOOG is right at that 16-delta/1SD point, though it was probably higher when you sold it. **Do you know how to manage these?** 1) Buy them back when they're worth *half* of what you sold them for. 2) Or roll them at some arbitrary Delta. If I'm selling at 30-delta, I'm rolling them by 40. If selling at 20-25, then rolling by 30. In general, I try to move them back toward their initial Delta. Eventually there'll be a downturn in the stock that sucks the value out of them and you'll be able to buy them back for half. Oh, and generally try for a Credit when you roll, though I'll sometimes take a 10 to 15-cent Debit if it helps me roll.

Hi, I love that you're selling CCs, but you must be selling them at a really low Delta? Because tonight I'm seeing the 36DTE 31Oct12C at 18DTE (just above the 1SD point of 16-delta) going for 0.25 at Midpoint. And that over spot of 7.14 is an ROI of 3.5%. 35 days from tomorrow, so divide by 35 and multiply by 365 to project that to maybe 36% apy. Twice what you're making, so I was just wondering if you're selling really far out in strike and/or time, and would suggest coming in a bit. Sorry to bother you, but 18% ROI on BBAI CCs just seemed low to me, so I wanted to tease that out. Carry on, good sir!

TheInkDon1

Yes, I always stick to 80-delta. Less is probably fine, but I like clear rules. Also, I think Delta takes into account IV, but I could be wrong about that. And yes, 80 can cost a lot, but it's also a safer play. AND you're paying for less time/extrinsic value. So your money is actually going toward more equity in the stock. And when you do the leverage calc, you'll see that even at 80-delta (unless you're playing some crazy-high IV stock) you're still getting 3 or 4 or 5 times leverage to the underlying. So for me, that's "enough." I sell Calls too, and have started selling them at 16-delta because my higher-delta shorts kept getting run over. 16-delta is 1SD, 1 Standard Deviation, which is how much the stock is "expected" to move before the expiration date. That's a fair tradeoff for me. And when you divide those premiums by the cost of the long Calls that are collateralizing them, I'm often seeing implied apy's just from selling Calls of 50, 60, sometimes 80%. Are you doing stocks, or ETFs? Or a mix of both?

The 'rules' from TastyTrade some years ago were: 30-45DTE 30-delta or less Buy them back when they've lost half their value (you've made half of Max Profit). My recommendations: 1) Lean hard on the 30 days. I often do 28 days, 4 weeks, because that aligns well with me putting trades on during the weekend. And why? Because there's more theta per day in a shorter option. We're selling time, so we want to sell the most we can in as short a time as we can. But don't go less than 4 weeks, it just gets too hectic. Prove it to yourself with a 30-day short Call and a 60-day. 2) 30-delta short Calls (or CSPs for that matter) often get run over. As well they should, because 30-delta "kind of" means a 30% chance of that option being ITM at expiration; that's almost a third, and that's a lot. But I generally start with 30, then back down with experience with that ticker. 25, 20, and then finally 16-delta if I need to. 16-delta is a 1 Standard Deviation (1SD) move, and your trading platform might display that as Expected Move. More and more I'm getting to where I start out selling at 16-delta just because I don't want to fight the short Calls as much as I used to. At 16-delta they generally come off at half. And when I sell them, I immediately set a Good Till Cancelled order to Buy to Close them at half of what they sold for. A "GTC BTC order." That's handy because you'll open your account one day and see that some have automagically come off, so you go sell new ones. 3) You can roll, and I do, but it really is just kicking the can down the road. So I have a rule for myself that if they get out to 60 days I just buy them back and start over. It's not a loss, because the long Call has gained faster than the short (at a rate of 80 deltas vs. 30, then 40, then 50, etc. It does sting a little, but you still made money.

TheInkDon1

That was very prescient of you to buy a LEAPS Call when Google was down, well done! And you've still made a lot of money, even if you closed the whole position down right now. Which I wouldn't do. The Jan '27 150C is worth **112.72** AH here on Tuesday 9/16. And it's at 93-delta, which means there's lots of room to roll it UP and take some profit out of it. The common recommendation is to buy LEAPS Calls at 80-delta, so staying in that same expiration, that would be the 205C. It's worth **70.15**. Sell the one and buy the other and pocket: 112.72 - 70.15 = 42.57. (Even though it's covered, your broker should let you do it as one rolling transaction.) Now let's see, will that pay to buy back the Call you're short? I think that's the 17Oct240C, is that right? It's going for **16.58**. So yest, you can more than pay to buy that back with the profit that was locked up in the long Call. And you keep the Call still, and still at 486DTE. Now go sell another CC against it (or don't). I too have gotten my CCs run over a lot lately, so I've started selling them at 16-delta, which is 1SD (Standard Deviation), or what your trading platform might show as Expected Move. So I'd probably be selling the 30DTE (from tomorrow) 17Oct280C at 14-delta for 1.66. Your LEAPS Call would have a new CB, 70.15, so I'd calculate ROI from that: 1.66 / 70.15 = 2.3% In a month, so sort of project that to 27% apy just from selling CCs for the next 16 months. You're not in a bad position, actually. Yes, the CC capped/took some of your gain, but you still retained a lot of it, with room to make even more.

"Okay," you say, but what if it went to 11?" (Like in Spinal Tap!) I'll answer that, but first, do you know what Expected Move is? It's just that, the expected move of the stock's price for a given expiration. It's based on the IV and whatever else of the stock and its options. It's a "1 Standard Deviation" move, which is a statistics thing that means that should happen 32% of the time, that the stock price reaches EM. ThinkorSwim displays it, and you should find it on your trading platform and have it handy. It's showing $1.39 right now. Which way, it doesn't say, just that "the numbers" say the stock might move 1.39 either direction by expiration. Add that to spot to get 9.83. So when I took NXE to 10.20 in the above example, I was being generous. A 2SD move means that only 5% of the time will the move happen. Just 5%, so it's kind of bounding. 2 x 1.39 = 2.78 Add that to spot to get: 11.22 There's the 11 you wanted, so let's see what the outcomes would be: The 10C is worth 1.22, and you paid 0.20 for it: a 6.1x gain. Nice! The 7C is worth 4.22, and I paid 1.60 for it: 'only' a 2.6x gain. But before you start celebrating how much the OTM Call beat the ITM, think about 2 things: 1) is 163% in a month return 'enough'. (It is.) 2) remember how the OTM Call wouldn't even START making money until well after the 1SD move? The 85-delta Call starts making money as soon as NXE hits 8.60, and is making money all the way up to 10.20, *which is when the 23-delta Call starts making money.* It's an "area under the curve thing": ITM Calls have higher probabilities, and spend more time making money than OTM Calls.

Thanks for the feedback. Mods have flagged this as potential pump and dump. Untrue, I've done a lot of research into this and I have 30k shares. But it doesn't mean I'm right. I'm glad someone else has been following this stock to check my ass. Here is my math and reasoning from last quarter earnings. I used the average of the growth rate of revenue AND production (which was a limiting factor previously, they were capped at ~27k units per 3 months if you recall, and one of the big things their COO did was expand production) Launcher units produced per Q for each Q from 3/30/2024 - 7/10/2025: `27k, 27k, 54k, 72k, 72k, 68k*, 64k*` In my notes I wrote that the boost in production for 12/10/24 and 2/7/25 Qs was to stockpile the Byrna SD in preparation for reconfiguring their fabs to produce the CL. The last two numbers are including about 50% of their production dedicated to CL production. Byrna stated in their Q2 2025 earnings that the CL has "better margins" than their other offerings, and that revenue increased by 41% YoY, and that the CL was a primary driver of growth. Those were the factors I used to draw my assumptions: 1. The CL was a significant part of new revenue 2. Gross profit margin of the CL is higher than the overall company margin of 62% 3. The SD and LE launchers are an even mix of the remaining launchers First, the simple revenue ratio of CL to (SD+LE) = 549/((479+379)/2) = 1.2797 Furthermore they confirmed it also has a higher profit margin. the (SD+CL) was 60% == $257 profit, and I just said 65% for the CL to be conservative, 65% == $357. 357/257 = 1.3891 The average of these two is ~1.33, i.e. a CL is worth about 1.33 of their other launchers. Going back to the starred production numbers, their production was split 60/40 in favor of CL / others. So to correctly scale the production numbers, we would get ~76400 scaled production units. The new series would be `27k, 27k, 54k, 72k, 72k, 82500*, 76400k*` There is turbulence in this current economy so they said they pushed production hard and chilled out a bit the next two quarters. So I excused the drop in total units. Maybe that was too much an assumption, but considering their previous issue was being bottlenecked by inventory, I was very happy to see they no longer have an inventory problem and can focus on the sales problem instead. Byrna's net income was 1.7mm, 2.4mm in Q1, Q2 '25. This is net income calculated after the spike in production (capex). Therefore, going into Q3 where they indicated very similar revenue (28.2m), I am assuming much less capex. Q3 2024 looked as follows: `20.9m Revenue, 14m profit (62%), 1m income` With about 7mm extra revenue, higher profit, margins because of the CL, reduction in total production while maintaining relative production value, I estimated about **$4m income for Q3 2025**. Which felt pretty hype to me. Please continue critiquing when you have time.

Flat, SD is like +/- 0.05 over the last 4 hours.

They did that because they wanted to be closer to the vision of the US administration at the time. I’m in San Diego. KULRs HQ moved to Tx now but they still have folks in SD. I have talked to them and they share the same story. If you see the gains they made with the BTC addition, I don’t know what’s the downside.

Okay. I like GLD, an ETF for gold, which has been on a tear for more than a year. (Though flat since April, but recently waking up.) People want to buy 100 shares of something in order to sell a CC on it, right? GLD is at **326.69**, so 100 shares would cost $32,669. A big deal for most traders, me included. But instead of shares, let's buy a Call 379 days out, at 80-delta. That would be the Sep '26 310C for **37.08** at Midpoint here AH on Thursday night. Look it up in the option chain, see if you agree with me. Since the option controls 100 shares, multiply that by 100: $**3,708**. Compare the two numbers: 32,669 vs. 3,708 8.8 times less. Or only 11% of the capital needed to buy shares. That option being at 80-delta means it moves 80 cents for every $1 that GLD shares move. GLD went up about $13 over the last 5 trading days. That's about a **4%** gain for GLD shares. But what did the LEAPS Call do? It went up by: 0.80 (the delta) times $13 = 10.40 What's the ROI? It's the gain over the cost: 10.40 / 37.08 = **28%** **28% gain on a 4% move.** That's the beauty of Calls over shares. Want even more fun? Sell a Call against that Call. Different dates and different strikes makes it a Diagonal Call Spread. TastyTrade says to sell Calls at about 30-delta and 30-45DTE. I've recently started selling Calls at about 16-delta, which is 1SD, or 1 Standard Deviation. And if your trading platform shows an Expected Move number like ToS does, it's that. Add the EM to spot, and you should land on the Call strike that's at about 16-delta. I lean hard on the 30 days, often going down to 2-3 weeks. So let me look in the 29DTE 03Oct expiration (follow along at home) and find the strike nearest 16-delta. It's the 345C at 17-delta, selling for 1.47 Mid. For a standard CC you'd divide that by spot to get an ROI of 0.45%. Ho hum. Multiply by 12 to get a sort-of projected apy of **5%.** Big whoop. But divide it by the much smaller cost of the LEAPS Call, which is the collateral for this trade, and get 1.47 / 37.08 = 3.96%. Apy that to about 47%. *Just from selling Calls at 16-delta.* That's pretty spiffy, but don't forget what the long Call is doing in the meantime. Remember that 1-week 24% gain from above? Yeah, they're really powerful.

TheInkDon1

I'm pretty mechanical with rolls, so not too much "deciding" going on. Though over time I begin to learn certain tickers. GLD, for instance, all my 30-delta Calls were getting run over, so now I'm selling at 20-delta or less. But in fact, across the board I'm starting to sell mostly at 16-delta, which is 1SD (1 Standard Deviation), and is at the Expected Move number your trading platform might show you. I was too focused on returns from the short Calls (at 30-delta), so a lot of my positions now have near-the-money CCs sitting on top of them, capping gains. The move to 16-delta is to give the long Calls room to run, without having to roll short Calls all the time. That said, when I was selling at 30-delta and they got challenged, by 40-delta I was rolling them. Sometimes I couldn't catch them in time, but that was the goal. Usually out a week and up a strike if that was for a credit. If not add another week, and that's almost always for a credit. Might even be able to move up another strike. Another way is to purposefully roll them back to 30-delta, but I don't do that. I might roll one today and gain a strike, then roll it again tomorrow and gain another. With little credits along the way. Gives me something to do, and I like making the trades. Now that I'm selling at \~16-delta, I'm rolling as they approach 30-delta. Did you know you can roll the long Calls too? I don't always buy them a year out, for a true PMCC, but always at least 3 months, at 80-delta. Then as they appreciate I roll them out in time and back down to, or toward 80-delta. Then when I have them a year out, now when they appreciate I roll them UP in the same expiration, which serves to take profit out of them. I envision that year-out expiration as a pasture where I keep my long LEAPS Calls. But they often start out as baby Calls in a 3-month pen, or 4 months or 6. Then as they grow I move them through the longer-dated pens until they've matured enough to be let out into the 1-year pasture. Then as that pasture becomes <1y I roll them OUT to the next expiration. Lots of ways to do both short and long Calls, but that's what I do.

You edited your shit. You said LA summer is cooler than winter in denver or salt lake city. LA is hotter than SF and SD too. And why are you bringing denver into this conversation? Me and the other dude was talking about california. Youre retarded 🫵🏻🤣🫵🏻

Mellow_Toninn

Than SF and SD which are cities that are also famously temperate? Sacramento is hotter than LA. LA is consistently cooler in the summer than Salt Lake or Denver in the winter.

KSS is my current favorite deep value play. Retail is cyclical and Kohls has gotten massacred. Even after this most recent run up it’s still only valued at .4x BV and book value is very real and based on a massive real estate portfolio. Do I hope the business itself reverses course and does a turn around? Heck yes, will lead to phenomenal returns but even in a managed decline it has a massive ability to run. Other personal faves are SLV options, SD, DAC and 30 year treasuries(they’ll print amazing returns in event of rate cuts but also give a near 5% tax advantaged payout while you wait)

Yes as a person also familiar you gave terrible advice to someone looking for options in LA. Your experience and bias has nothing to do with the fact that there is literally so much to do in LA. OC and SD are literally and figuratively the most white washed parts of Southern California with far fewer entertainment and food options. Definitely nice beaches though. Nice LA beaches are north of Malibu and on PV peninsula.

Synack and others were brought in to hack the machines well ahead of the general election. And some of the shit they found and patched just before the general was insane — like: 1) OS capitulation via an SD card 2) Shell access via USB debug 3) Hard-coded “esadmin / 1234” credential on local SQLite voter database. — 2024 DEFCON findings were delayed until 2026 now, and methinks DJT and Elon already shut that shit down and deleted things without a trace.

Good question! should have been answered by now. honestly this is a smart observation, you’re kinda thinking like a trader who’s looking for edge in IV structure which is rare on reddit calendars being that cheap on BAC makes sense since front vol is low and the back month isn’t that much higher, but the thing is… when IV is super low across the board, calendars lose their juice because there’s no vol differential to exploit. so yeah you can stack on credit spreads around it, but now you’re mixing long premium and short premium in a way that fights itself a bit…like if you sell call spreads above your calendar, that limits upside if BAC does decide to drift higher, and if you sell puts below it you’re doubling down on a range-bound assumption, so just know you’re capping your win zone in low IV names like BAC, I’d rather just sell something simple and mechanical like a tight strangle or iron condor outside 1SD and manage it that way, small pop, small loss, repeat it. or if you still like the calendar setup, you could try a double calendar or something like a calendar ratio, just keep it clean and don’t overstack complexity for a name that moves slow. calendar + condor combo can work, but it’s gotta be super deliberate or you’ll end up strangling your own trade for a tiny net credit lol overall you’re thinking in the right direction just don’t overengineer it for a stock that ain’t gonna make a big move anyway, keep it simple, sell something with edge, and move on to the next one

$WU had a glitch over the last month when sending P2P payments they double sent them. Happened for almost a month. I know personally a few people who have over a million dollars personally from this. WU just figured it out Wednesday last week and attempted clawbacks Thursday and SD accounts Friday. While it's only semi public because obviously people have somewhere in the 50-100 million in over payments from them. I have heard a few individuals who have 3-10 million alone. I have seen the bank account statements and have many friends this happened to.

You have any idea how many people travel from SD to LA per week let alone per year? I can tell you for sure MOST people are not traveling back and forth between SD and LA using Amtrack. There's not even enough railway to cover that. That 3 million per year sounds nice until you break it down by week. Comparing the two is also dumb. One cost about 50 bucks the other will likely cost 10x and would need to recharge in orange county.

Running the wheel on the Mag7 is totally doable.  Here's the some of the cons.  Most of the these stocks are dollar pricey, so you're going to tie up a lot of cash selling cash-secured puts on these bad boys.  Further, these Mag7's can have outsized moves well beyond an SD.   The Wheel is best used for stocks that have a solid fundamental rap sheet, stocks you would not mind owing should you get assigned.  The Mag7 can be directional longer than you bankroll, so keep that in mind.  As for your stock replacement strategy, i.e, using a LEAP deeper ITM call to replace a stock purchase...I like it for saving on capital, especially if you can offset some theta by selling some upside calls, which sort of looks like the wheel if assigned.  The Poor Man Covered Call is a viable strategy if you're looking for some income on a stock that you'd love to own and the fundamentals back owning it in the first place!

In practical terms what does it mean to the people employed in the industry? SD is a leading state for wind energy, they have manufacturing facilities for wind turbines. I know people who work there. If you are heading one of these companies wouldn't you start to lay off people soon? It's not just losing a tax incentive it's also navigating a complex bureaucratic approval process. The article makes it sound impossible. I think this is going to hurt a lot of people unfortunately.

Statistics and chart does not matter without bigger context. From this chart you can see that SD going down since 70 to '83 But if you look at price since '74 to '81 it was bullish market for this time. Chart does not matter without context. A lot of stocks are overpriced. A lot of stocks are with PE 100 or higher. Pick value not hype. Buy good companies with fair PE and charts like this doest matter

What does it really mean? I've assumed the SD is measured over the entire time frame. Try a different look at the market. Break the data into half, then decades using a that time period SD. I'm pretty sure it will look quite different. The S&P of the 1950s was substantially different than today's S&P.

If you start your process by explaining to your ChatGPT the desired outcome (something like “I want to hit a minimum of 50% ROI with x-risk tolerance while analyzing and weighing indicator x, y, and z against weekly charts or this greek or that spread, etc) and then ask it to generate a prompt aimed at achieving your desired result with the highest degree of accuracy possible, then your AI will also construct the prompt in the specific token format that will make the results more accurate. With what I know about NVDA and AMD, I don’t think any sharper analysis is needed on the strategies given and the contracts purchased. But for any future projects? Using ChatGPT to maximize token efficiency is a sneaky efficient thing to do and has worked wonders for me both for LLM and SD models. Or, you can even go one step further and just ask ChatGPT to teach you about tokenization so that you don’t have to rely on someone else building perfect prompts.

Looks like they are nearly 1 SD by that chart…

Next stop 3 SD

And OC + SD if most is more than 50% which is pretty much all of our major population centers. we also have some of the most expensive electricity in the country, and in the areas away from population centers the use case for an EV goes way down - and that’s not even mentioning the fact that EV’s have much steeper depreciation curves and a battery replacement all but guaranteed at some point in its life span. Then you add all of the insane electronics that go on those cars and the cost to repair basically totals the whole car in a minor fender bender (Which is a huge reason why our insurance is SO HIGH now) and you cant work on it yourself. So basically, the only people who can afford them make at least ~$100,000 a year or they get into a super upside down loan and eat the cost of interest + that sharp depreciation. What California needs is legitimately safe, reliable, quick public transportation.

Gold (mostly) only goes up. It barely goes down, making it a great candidate for PCS's. What's a 1SD move? 16-delta, right? By definition. (I don't understand why either.) (16-delta also corresponds with the Expected Move you might see on your trading platform.) So what if we sold our short Put just below that, maybe 15-delta? GLD and IAU are the big gold ETFs, but I like to use GLD because it's options are a little more liquid. And that higher volume makes finding the exact Deltas you're looking for easier. My process is this: Sell the 15-delta Put. Buy the Put 2 strikes below it. Now, you can use whatever width you want, there are pros and cons of each, but I mostly do 2 strikes. So here's a real-time example this Sunday. I like to trade Weeklies, but use whatever expiration you're comfortable with. Sell the 27Jun303P at 15-delta for 0.57. Buy the 301P for 0.36. Credit of 0.21 against a Buying Power Effect of: (303 - 301 - 0.21) x 100 = 179 *Have you ever taken the time to calculate the ROI of the trade?* And not just think about how many bucks you could make on it, and maybe not even think about how many dollars you're risking? Well, my trading platform shows me the exact Credit I'll receive, minus fees, and then the exact BPE. For this trade: Max Profit 20.18 Max Loss is 179.80 With those numbers we can calculate ROI: 20.18 / 179.80 = 11.2% Does that not seem like a lot? *Remember that it's over 5 days.* That apy's to 580%. So why look further for something with more IV than gold? And if you wanted to back that down to 10-delta, you could still do 300% apy. Check it out for yourself.
