SMCI should rip next week..way oversold..micron earnings and their leadership is a bunch if grifters and scammers which is as American as it gets these days.. 🚀🚀
If you're not buying this SMCI dip you're not black.
Rosenblatt has reiterated a BUY on SMCI!! Price target $350!!!
It could always be worse, you could be bagholding SMCI
the 40% Oracle gained in 1 day the craziest thing I ever saw considering all this. But after seeing Carvana, SMCI, Coreweave scams run up, especially Carvana I didn’t think I could beat the stupid.
If the market catches a cold, SMCI suffers from a heart attack.
Huh, Carvana to 500 before the inclusion like that DD said suddenly doesn't seem like such a dumb call. One hopes it then follows the trajectory of SMCI after the inclusion...
SMCI peaked at its inclusion in the S&P and it's downhill ever since. A similar fate awaits that other scam shitco, CVNA.
🙏 I’ve tried to apply this pattern elsewhere but based on my testing, I have concluded that this edge lives almost exclusively with TSLA. I’ve tested this overnight logic on the usual high-volume suspects like NVDA, AMD, AAPL, META, SMCI, COIN, and MSTR. What I found after running the same backtesting on them for 2023 through 2025 were overall mixed results. NVDA had a brief hot streak in late 2023 where it worked okay (maybe a 58% to 60% hit rate), but that edge evaporated once the stock shifted to trending hard instead of mean reverting. SMCI and MSTR definitely show flashes because they act like mini TSLAs on steroids, but the risk reward is terrible because when I was wrong, the gaps were absolutely brutal. AAPL, AMD, and META were basically coin flips; they had no reliable, repeatable edge. The key here is that the core pattern ("red day plus green overnight" which means the next day tends to run green) actually works on options with any expiry, but the risk, reward, and practicality change dramatically. None of the stocks I mentioned have true daily 0DTE (Monday through Friday expiry). All of them have weekly expirations (Fridays), so I can only trade (simulate) 0DTE on Fridays and 1DTE on Thursdays (next day expiry). I specifically use 0DTE/1DTE options because they have the maximum Theta and Gamma, which lets me either: SELL puts on the bullish setup (Red Day + Green Overnight) to harvest maximum premium as the stock runs, or BUY puts on the bearish setup (Double Green) to get massive leverage on the fade (although I don’t buy puts much). Ultimately, the pattern seems to rely on a specific, perfect convergence of three things: insane retail/options gamma, "Elon level" news volatility, and thin overnight liquidity that causes the pre market crowd to massively over position themselves. TSLA is the only unicorn where all three line up consistently. Every other stock I tested was either too efficient, too slow, or the blow ups were too savage to make the long term risk reward worthwhile. I’m still looking/waiting for another stock that ever ended up with that same perfect storm of degeneracy to establish the trade card to game it.
Can avgo like back then SMCI down to shit hole ?

\[Regardless of how a corporations officer sees the matter, stock splits affect historical prices in ways that make it difficult for researchers to track the amount of growth an investor will experience.\] //////// Now Super Micro makes more sense when I found my March 2024 binder with SMCI Summary March 22nd 2024 **Since our last review, investors have been piling into Super Micro Computer sock, resulting in a heady 350% price surge.** The company is a leading vendor for NVIDIA-powered server "clusters" used to train and deploy artificial intelligence (AI) models. That key partner delivered blowout fourth-quarter earnings and revensue and its guidance surpassed expectations. This led SMCI shared higher as investors assumed positive ripple effects. News that Supermicro stock would enter the S&P 500 helps fuel the price advance. as funds tracking the Index will add it to their portfolios. A beat and raise in the December quarter also propelled the stock. Year-over-year revenue growth of 103% reflected stock demand from both new and existing customers. This prompted management to raise fiscal 2024 revenue guidance for a third time to $14.3 billion-$14.7 billion, up from prior forecasts of $10 billion-$11 billion and $9.5 billion-$10.5 billion. **Is recent growth sustainable?** Servers used in generative AI now comprise over half of revenue and are growing at a triple-digit rate. Leadership credits structural transition from accelerated compute platforms to parallel ones. This shift enables more complex and large-scale computing tasks, which is particularly beneficial for AI and machine learning applications. in addition to cloud service providers, many enterprise customers are evaluating AI platforms to grow revenue and cut costs. We expect all these trends to continue for the foreseeable future, assuming application growth drives further infrastructure development.
Seeking Alpha Super Micro Computer: Unjustified AI Optimism And Around 31% Overvalued Feb. 16, 2024 Chetan Woodun At the time of writing, Super Micro Computer, Inc. stock had already gained more than $500 since posting strong Q2 results, driven by AI-related demand. Despite being a long-time partner of Nvidia, it faces competition and does not enjoy the same level of profitable growth. Also, demand for AI infrastructure is high, but competition, not only from other OEMs but especially from cloud service providers may impact its sales sustainability. As such, it is considerably overvalued. The underlying theme of this thesis is that demand for AI should be sustained, but the way it will be consumed by enterprises will likely be through the cloud. I start by showing how SMCI is benefiting from the AI boom, but not in the same profitable way as Nvidia, before moving to demand. //////// Key Price Movements in 2024: Peak: The stock hit its all-time high around March 2024, fueled by the AI boom, reaching over $118 per share (pre-split). Decline: Following its peak, SMCI experienced significant drops, down over 70-80% from its high by late 2024/early 2025, despite strong revenue growth. Stock Split: On October 1, 2024, SMCI executed a 10-for-1 stock split, effectively reducing the per-share price from over $400 to around $41-$42. //////// Nov 2024 (the stock was about $26) Chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) is moving orders away from AI hardware company Super Micro Computer (SMCI) to other suppliers to minimize disruption in the AI server industry, as reported by DigiTimes.
Jan 2024 ($24 to $50) In January 2024, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) was dominated by news of a massive stock surge driven by exceptionally strong preliminary and actual Q2 fiscal year 2024 results, which significantly exceeded previous guidance due to high demand for its AI servers. Key News Events in January 2024: January 18: Business Update and Raised Guidance Super Micro provided a business update where it dramatically increased its financial outlook for the second quarter of fiscal year 2024. The company expected net sales of at least $3.6 billion, a significant jump from its prior guidance of approximately $2.8 billion. January 19: Stock Surge Following the positive business update, SMCI shares jumped around 25% to a record high. The market reaction was a key factor in the stock's massive rally throughout early 2024, as investors became highly optimistic about its role in AI infrastructure, particularly its partnership with Nvidia. The stock fully recovered to its pre-crisis high by this date. Feb 2024 In February 2024, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) was a volatile "AI darling" stock that hit record highs, but also faced significant challenges related to financial reporting delays, which nearly led to Nasdaq delisting. ///////// I didn't notice this on the graph, it must have not lasted long Investopedia Super Micro Stock Continues Wild Week With Massive Friday Swings NAOMI BUCHANAN Updated February 16, 2024 The stock, which crossed $1,000 Thursday, has nearly tripled since the start of 2024 Super Micro Computer (SMCI) continued its wild week Friday as shares jumped in the first few minutes of trading before reversing course and moving sharply lower. The decline came as Wells Fargo initiated coverage of the stock Friday with an equal-weight rating, saying that while Super Micro stands to benefit from the artificial intelligence (AI) boom, the company's share price already reflects much of the upside. The stock ended Friday's session down 20% at $803.32, after having risen as much as 7.4% in the opening minutes of trading. The stock, which has nearly tripled in price since the start of the year, surged 14% to above $1,000 on Thursday amid anticipation of future gains driven by rising demand for AI. Earlier this week, Barclays analysts had raised their price target for the stock to $961 from $691, citing Super Micro Computer's position within the AI ecosystem and "strategic" partnerships with NVIDIA (NVDA), Advanced Micro Devices (AMD), and Intel (INTC).
\- SMCI RISKY, but if you look at the charts back when it tanked. The moment the stock touch 17$, it got a MASSIVE buy it. These things are not lucky or gambles. What date was age $17 move in, and why did it happen? I'm still curious how and when it got on your radar and why? and what's behind the $17 point March 2023 when it was not going over $10 that's the point I'm most curious about for it's first climb to being in the $20-$30 range And December 2023 when it was about to to $107 Then July 2024 when it tanked to $45 closer to it's fair value where it's $33 currently ........... I'm wonder if the NVDA partnership started that and when that was, to be some of that trigger, or other causes March 2023 Auditor Engagement: The company hired Ernst & Young (EY) in March 2023 to conduct the audit for its fiscal year ending June 30, 2023. (It is worth noting that while March 2023 was a positive period, the company faced significant challenges in late 2024 and 2025, including auditor resignation, short-seller reports alleging accounting issues, and a subsequent stock price collapse.) April 2023 In April 2023, Super Micro Computer (SMCI) was primarily in the news for announcing preliminary financial results for its third quarter of fiscal year 2023 that were below its guidance, leading to a drop in its stock price. May 2023 (it was $13 to $23) In May 2023, the primary news regarding Super Micro Computer (SMCI) was the release of its third-quarter fiscal year 2023 financial results, which, despite missing some analyst estimates, led to a significant jump in its stock price due to optimistic full-year guidance. Stock Price Surge: Despite the top and bottom-line misses, the stock price jumped nearly 28% on May 3, 2023. CEO Charles Liang highlighted new design wins and increasing engagement for next-generation products, particularly in AI, noting that supply chain challenges were mostly resolved. Following the news, several analysts from firms like Loop Capital, Northland, and Susquehanna raised their price targets for the stock. Dec 2023 In December 2023, significant news for Super Micro Computer (SMCI) centered on a public stock offering, an analyst downgrade from Susquehanna, and a [Nasdaq](https://www.nasdaq.com/) listing extension as the company addressed ongoing accounting issues.
SMCI for good upside. Took a hit recently but it’s primed for a big move
this ain’t the first SP500 pump dump, SMCI also accused of funny accounting, index funds bought in at the peak, dropped like 70% after inclusion too
with xmas secured i think ima gamble some on SMCI WHAT CAN GO WRONG
Bru I don’t see what you don’t understand. It’s common sense how I’m looking at it. The more you know the more someone already knows. I never said buffets plan is terrible. I said “what I don’t like about it” personal preference. And I’ll stay a “wheel rouletter” aslong as people continue to give me there money😂. How can you not fathom money being moved into something before people understand its true metrics? The wealthy do it in your face all the time. SMCI RISKY, but if you look at the charts back when it tanked. The moment the stock touch 17$, it got a MASSIVE buy it. These things are not lucky or gambles. They understand and know shit you do not.
TSLA and Xai are gonna make data centers in space with SMCI in a few years. He will steal the idea from Google
One of the only earnings calls I ever listened to was SMCI back in 2024 after the big drop — some dude definitely farted
SMCI missed recently but they have the most upside
I'm a little late to the game as I started in October selling 20% OTM 30-45 DTE on AI stocks, some of which you mention. I was assigned QBTS, RGTI, IONQ, CRWV, SMCI, and ORCL. Not worried about any of them.
Sheeesh SMCI and Elon again ? More fraud? (Bag holder)
\- Everyone is crazy or speculating until it’s true well that's what high-risk speculation and investing is all about sometimes I'm still trying to figure out what you don't like about Buffet's investing style or the idea that it's usually a bad enough to buy something overvalued AMKR is a good company, just stupid valuation right now Moderate Risk 36% undervalued in April 77% overvalued in December Target -38% ASX another good company 17% undervalued in April 55% overvalued in December This one has a -26% target Here you picked good stocks and hopefully you bought them at those April lows and they're ridiculously expensive and you should sell em off before prices normalize to reality again I still think you're picking a lot of risky companies and not taking valuation seriously enough, but you do pick some good ones. it's good timing with the risky ones \- AMKR, another one sorta but you would’ve had to buy it like EXACTLY when it hit a specific price fast definately //////// SMCI, excellent company in theory, but it could be a value trap at the moment, and it'll recover 65% from it's undervalued thing in a year, but it has a very good trajectory for growth the problem is, how screwy is the valuation right now. It's not a buy at the moment but it's cheap, but it'll take time to see if the problems improve ........ Well SMCI have their problems with the financials In October 2024, Supermicro's auditors, Ernst & Young resigned after raising significant concerns over the company's internal controls, board independence and accounting practices. The company created an independent special board committee comprising board members and external counsel to evaluate issues raised by Ernst & Young, which would later find no evidence of misconduct. On February 25th, 2025, the company filed its annual report, just before the end of its extended deadline. Supermicro included an additional note in its filing, saying "it had identified material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting", and in response to those issues, "plans to hire additional accounting and audit employees, and to upgrade IT systems."
Better then NVIDIA is SMCI which has built racks for all the top processors. Data center s to stems are now fully available and not dependent on just NVIDIA!
Timing is everything euphoria is out the door I’m sure now SMCI now would have a worst faith, everyone is waiting on everyone for the next move. The circular money wheel is getting tiring and so far it’s all huge promises. Also Nvidia is not Enron right? And we all know zuck boi would NEVER betray his friends. So this should be good for you if you believe so much and buy at a discount.
To be fair to OP, I thought the same thing when SMCI was taking off. How can a legitimate company be named Super Micro Computer?

And I wana clear, I use numbers and revenues aswell. Don’t wana make it like u NEVER look at income statements, balance sheets, cash flows. 100 percent. But it isn’t the end all be all of my investment criteria. Why? I understand they understand. So im putting you on now, nobody else will ever tell you something like this. You have to know that they manipulate and fuck over numbers too, to get shit the way they want it to be. Look at SMCI, that is still if not the biggest prolly top 3, ai chip racking/ data center plays. But they had this massive fraudulent thing going on with there revenues and how they were being reported no? You can’t think they don’t know you know. You gotta know they understand everything you do but to a 100000 percentile. How i see, if you have like 20k or more to your name and you value invest cool. But having 5k under, it’s gonna be a long ride. You’d have to switch your money every couple months to a different equity. if you wanted to see even a x5 of your money within a year from these massive market cap companies. They just don’t always move that way like even Netflix right it was 300 in 2022 before the split. That’s an amazing price, amazing company, amazing return. It still was only a 4-5x in 3 years tho. You see? But someone who bought ONDS this year x9 they money. AMKR, another one sorta but you would’ve had to buy it like EXACTLY when it hit a specific price fast. Personally I own ASX. And will DCA this one. I’m not tryna b dim tho. I just honest with people you can’t say it’s speculative if I understand when and where, society will have a mental change for something and begin to follow it. Everyone is crazy or speculating until it’s true. Then they just were “lucky” or “insider trading”. You guys don’t even know what you’re battling against in the stock market man. There are people who no matter what price a stocks get to, can immediately make it -50percent. And there’s nothing you can do about it
To make you feel better - I've held SMCI 60 to ~17$ back to 60$, what a legend we are.
SMCI. I had mutliple opportunities to get out but didnt. Now I'm holding to see if they can really deliver on this revenue growth theyre claiming will come next year
48.4% VITL split 56% shares and 44% 20 and 22.5c for 4/17/26 33.6% PYPL split 63.5% shares and 36.5% 30-35c for Jan 27 and Jan 28 7.6% SMCI (boy i should have sold this a few times) 4.2% ROOT (dont know why I'm in this, was selling puts for high premium and got clobbered. Kept a few shares. rest is negligible split between EDIT/DOLE/SPY/BYDDY I think I should sell my DOLE at this price and stick it into PYPL calls. I want the whole account split between those 2. I'd also prefer to have a more call heavy split on those as well but it is what it is
Fair enough. Sounds like you have a specific battle plan for repair strategies (ITM calls), which puts you ahead of most wheelers. Just keeping an eye on that tail risk with a name like SMCI is key. Good luck with the recovery trade, hope it bounces back for you.
That’s a fair critique, and I agree with you on the Gamma risk. I’m fully aware that 1–2 week DTE trades trade time for speed, and that’s a conscious choice based on how actively I want to manage positions. On SMCI, I also agree it’s a textbook example of how the Wheel can get uncomfortable when a stock reprices lower quickly. The only reason I’m still willing to sell lower puts there is because I’m comfortable owning at those levels, not because I view basis reduction as a magic fix. If my long-term thesis changes materially, I stop the wheel on SMCI. Given how I currently view its trading behavior, I’m comfortable averaging down within defined limits and potentially exiting via an ITM call into an earnings-related rally if one materializes. If that doesn’t happen and the thesis breaks, I’ll adjust accordingly.
Yep, that’s exactly the strategy I use. SMCI and SYM are both names I’m comfortable holding longer term, although I’ve become a bit less confident in SMCI over time. That said, at \~$30/share I’m comfortable with the risk. SYM was in the $30's when I started with it so less confident where it is now. Same thing with OKLO — I had no interest in it at $140, but I’m fine selling puts around $80 and owning it there if I get assigned, and then flipping to calls. As new press releases and information come out, I adjust my risk tolerance and strike levels. That’s honestly why I’m hoping to find a small community of like-minded traders — just to sanity-check ideas and talk through setups with people who run similar strategies. I just haven't found that.
Congrats on the killer gains, but I have to play devil's advocate here. You mentioned sticking to 1–2 week contracts to 'manage risk,' but mathematically, you are actually doing the opposite due to **Gamma risk**. Short-dated options carry the highest Gamma exposure. This means if the price moves against you, the delta swings violently, leaving you almost zero time to manage, adjust, or roll the position for a credit. Unlike 30-45 DTE trades where you have a buffer, 1-week contracts turn the Wheel into a binary outcome: you either keep the premium or you catch a falling knife instantly. Your current SMCI situation is the textbook 'Wheel Trap.' You’re bag-holding at $44, and since the stock tanked, the premiums for Covered Calls at your breakeven are likely non-existent. Selling more Puts at $30 isn't just 'lowering your basis' - it's doubling down on exposure to a falling asset. Be careful. That 73% return came from high-beta variance. Don't let Gamma snap back and erase it.
Definitely not a scam. I’m not selling anything, not DM’ing anyone, and not promoting any service, not looking to pay any fees or push any meme stocks. I’m just looking for a “breakfast club,” so to speak. A smaller group of like-minded traders who enjoy sharing strategies and ideas. This is my hobby, I do it for fun, and I'm just looking for a smaller forum to share ideas. And as I mentioned in my post, part of the performance this year includes some opportunistic gains, situations where I was assigned on a Friday and then caught a sharp move the following week, allowing me to exit the shares for a large gain on top of the call premium. I’m fully aware that those types of returns aren’t something you can count on every year, but most of my gains came from SMCI and SYM this year. I cleared $10k on SYM week a few weeks ago. Got assigned a put at $51, sold a covered call and exited north of $70 on a sharp spike.
I’m still new to running the Wheel, so I’m trying to manage risk by sticking mostly to 1–2 week contracts instead of going far out on the calendar. But yeah, I definitely have some positions that didn’t go my way. Right now I’m holding 500 shares of SMCI at a $44 cost basis. The recent drop to the low $30s (thank you Michael Burry) obviously wasn’t part of my short-term thesis, and at these levels the call premium isn’t great unless I go further out than I want to. To stay active, I’ve been selling $30 puts, which I see as a reasonable floor. If I get assigned again, my average cost drops enough that I think I can start selling covered calls at more attractive strikes. That’s the approach I’m leaning on for now on one particular stock. If it doesn't work out than it is what it is and I move on. Still learning — just trying to be systematic and adjust as the price action changes.
I use a margin-enabled accounts, but I don’t use margin for these trades. I had $100k in cash that I use to fully secure the puts I sell. If I get assigned, I switch to covered calls. I’ve had some fortunate exits with SYM and SMCI where I was assigned on a Friday and exited the next week for a big gain, but that’s just timing — not the core of the strategy, but has certainly helped contribute to my gains.
I think I'm liking SMCI too, it dropped all the way back down to 35$ I might have to buy a ton here

There was shortage of shares. That's why there is the pump. You should read that article, so well detailed. SMCI is a good one with cooked books got into sp. From 100$ to 20$.
NBIS, CRCL, or SMCI? calls, this week expiry
And SMCI crashing 70% didn’t seem to stop the S&P from rallying, just like carvana won’t either.
Assigned puts on RKLB at 60 and SMCI at 46. 200 and 500 shares respectively. I'm pretty happy holding both of these, may start selling calls if it consolidates below my CB but more than happy to hold these shares
SMCI & TSLA calls at open for me
SMCI can now legally ship NVDA H20 chips to China. They definitelyyy never did anything illegal before. Bullish
SMCI will be the biggest winner here
Can anyone with stock market knowledge tell me what I need to change in my Portfolio please? I currently have VTI, ENB, PLTR, PATH, ACHR, JOBY, ITA, APLD and SMCI because was way below Intrinsic value!
The SP500 is a victim of its own success at this point. I don't think it's fair to say the inclusion of any specific company is a scam, even if the company itself has shady fundamentals. SMCI will be an interesting one to follow over the next few years. They sure look like a scam, but they could dominate datacenter build out so much that they can paper over any accountability for their self-dealing. I don't know if PLTR is a scam. Megalomaniacal evil corporation executing a hostile takeover of the US government, absolutely. But people seem into that. They'll start WWIII before going bankrupt.
I don't think it's a scam, it's simply what index investing has become: it's an increasingly giant % of investor dollars and got to the point where running names up into index inclusion has become a sizable activity. Is every inclusion bad? No, but it feels like a fair amount are (you mention SMCI - that was included in mid-March of 2024, at about the top), a fair amount are poorly timed/feel like exit liquidity after people ran the name up betting on index inclusion and some start to feel like a "moment in time" - Etsy gets included in 2020 because it was doing well as people were shopping online during covid and by 2024 was dumped.
And the pensions and 401ks have historically done very well, what's the problem? If the DD was bad, pension funds would be bankrupt, but they're not. Just because you or OP disagree with the S&P's DD and decision to include hyped names like PLTR, controversial picks like SMCI and CVNA, doesn't mean the DD is bad. It just means your own individual investment preferences don't align with the S&P
SMCI finally going to go higher?
Not saying I agree, but SMCI is probably going to pump.
JFC, maybe edit your shit or not rely so much on AI. So if I invested in PLTR 141 vs ASTS 241 do you think I'd have done better? Maybe BBAI 66 should have been a lower allocation vs SMCI 15? WTF are you talking about? This reads like an AI bot had a stroke. But Congrats, I guess. Because Mag 7 =24.87% vs SMH =48.87%. Killing it.
And SMCI was validated after being added? Hmmm.
$SMCI inclusion long overdue. Thoughts and prayers.
I’m seeing Quantum computers rising to $26 in the next month and SMCI going to $175 in 2026!
Just an FYI, SMCI reached its All-Time-High in March 2024 when it was included in the S&P 500 It has since lost 75% of its value. CVNA next.
First SMCI, now CVNA. S&P 🤡🤡🤡
You forgot SMCI that got added at $1,000
They keep doing this shit, same shit as SMCI. Add a hyped up scam company with short reports, fraudulent accounting, tons of insider sales at the top or a massive run. Completely destroy shorts. Then remove em 6 months later when all the truth comes out. I swear there’s so many corrupt investment banks involved as well as Cramer/CNBC.
Don't act like this is the first time... last year it was SMCI, this year it's CVNA. They need exit liquidity and nothing better than to dump on stupid passive investors
Cautiously....the S&P has a habit of top ticking hype lately. Look at TPL, SMCI, ERIE....
let's put all the scam things into sp500 so the economy can moon despite all the layoffs add MSTR 🌽 SMCI DOGE etc
SMCI $40C June 2026??? Someone talk me out of it
Yup. Future growth is baked in. Sold MSFT this week. I'm in next tier down. MU, AVGO, AMD, SMCI, MRVL
$S earnings are in line with expectations. CFO wanting to pursuit career at a big company doesn't mean the financials are messed up $SMCI style. I don't get why the stock would lose 10%. It's the second company I enter this month and it plunges severely on not-bad earnings report.
CRWV, CRCL, SMCI, MSFT pick one, all calls, my portfolio is in your hands
calls, i know but where? CRWV, CRCL, or SMCI? orrr $600 MSFT march calls?
For SMCI my theory is HPEs report dumped them. DELL down too.
Why is SMCI -1%, Dell -2%, and OKLO -5% Ah?
is SMCI a decent play now?
SMCI has been a dog for sure
Started looking at this sub about a year ago and now I'm bag holding bullshit like: BB (Blackberry) RCAT ABSI LDI LUNR SMCI Blackberry...
I still remember when they published fake info about SMCI or something like that and also disabled it's buy button to help MMs who where shorting. Posted that on WSB, got banned there. Day after I went in puts and made a bank. If you can't win the casino join them! Easy money. Waiting for SPY EoD drop btw, so bored having puts with -5% value after profiting +20% in calls this morning
I'd bet all 3. New to NVO. I've rode BULL and SMCI before. Solid swing plays
My port is SMCI BULL and NVO. Boring sss week for me. Thank god I have low averages
