Ok, here we go. I sure hope repainting in this case is a non-issue since the strategy is direction-neutral. I am perhaps favored by the fact that SPY followed a general trend both today and yesterday, however. Today would be a good example on the put side. Prior to the information I now have, a straddle at open would've played out as follows: Today (6/16) on SPY: - I buy a 754 straddle immediately at market open for 1.93/1.42 (the high on the 1-minute, we're assuming worst case scenario wherever applicable.) I pay a total of $335 for the trade and we'll track my performance at various points of interest as the day progresses. - It is up for debate as to whether I would've sold the call side immediately about 2-3 minutes after open, scalping that contract at an exit of 2.12 or something in that area (let's say I immediately took that leg to zero-risk, at least). Nevertheless, there was an opportunity to immediately exit this leg for a profit, and to be fully honest with you, even a $15 gain in such a short time is pretty solid IMO, so I don't think it's all that unreasonable that I may have chosen to do this. - Come 10:00ET we see our first significant move, with the call side dipping to a low of 1.27 (assuming I hadn't been stopped out at breakeven as per the previous point- as we'll come to see, that's the best we'd get from the call side today) and the put side seeing a "high" of 1.25, we're already down $83 [(1.27 - 1.93) + (1.25 - 1.42)], things definitely aren't looking good here and this probably represents a prime example of what you and u/ThetaEdgeHQ brought up in terms of bid/ask spread collapsing, maybe some IV crush is to be blamed here as well. Nonetheless, we're not quite down 25% yet on our total cost basis (this is a significant loss though, I won't deny that. I should add that I'd have to be willing to see my spread hit 1.94/.74 for a net loss of $66 at 9:50ET even before we arrive here, and we haven't even seen the *real* move yet.) - Since my overall sentiment for 6/16 was bullish, there is indeed actually a world where I sell the put side for a loss here at what eventually becomes the high for the day, and then eat shit even harder on the call on the way down, but there definitely is NOT a world where I watch that call expire worthless, so I think my worst case scenario is that I completely misjudge price action entirely, and I go home feeling dejected and cheated. - Otherwise, maybe given that the call side was stopped out at BE or we realized some profit, maybe alternatively I am left with just the put, which we have to watch hit a low of .70 at 10:11 before things finally start to heat up. I must admit, the endurance to do such a thing, is just a *little* bit unrealistic. - But, maybe I turned of the chart or something, maybe I just hit the prayge button, maybe I saw that price doesn't seem to wanna push past 755, and flipped sentiment (I did eventually flip sentiment today, but too little too late. If I am to see the gain we're about to ride out, I'd have to be the most stubborn trader on the planet, but nonetheless, from here on out its only downward from here. - 10:10ET to most would look like a classic liquidity grab, if I wasn't out of the call at any point prior, I'm 100% taking whatever I can get here, so maybe I'm out of the call at 1.61 for an initial loss of $33 that we hope to recoup. - A miracle happens at 10:20, as price finally dips below support and begins to break out from the opening range. This is where the ideal entry would've been, but I'm no genie, I have no way of knowing that price would chop for an hour and a half before making its move. There's plenty of days where this doesn't happen, 6/12 for example saw a gap downward, followed by a sizeable swing downward, followed by a FULL recorrection *and* a swing to the UPSIDE, even. I think that was the inspiration for this strategy, in fact. Suppose I average my call down at the bottom on 6/12, how reasonable is it that at 9:50ET on 6/12, I hope for a recorrection as opposed to an extension of that trend? - From this point on, if by some miracle I still own a 742 put, I get to ride that put to 2.01 for a gain of $59 at least, so my second worst case scenario has me losing [(1.27 - 1.93 + (2.01 - 1.42)], a net loss of $7 on what is probably one of the most fakeout-ridden chops I've ever seen. I do have to watch that put eat a fair bit of extrinsic decay, as price eventually recovers to the middle VWAP band at around 12:15, pegging our put at a higher low of .96 or so, if I panic sell here then my loss is $112, otherwise, if I'm stubborn enough and I presume that because price can't make higher highs, the overall sentiment still pught to be bearish at this point, then it's only up and away from here, and maybe, just *maybe*, I get to chase her up all the way to 3.85ish or even 4.10ish, depending on if I keep my SL conservative enough to see that gain, and lo and behold, we manage to follow the trend into the green when all is said and done.
i have 6/22 760 SPY calls full port . If you bless me the first person gets 1 SpaceX if spy jumps 1%
Someone please tell me if I'm regarded. I'm thinking around 2 I get into a 0dte SPY strangle a few $ OTM in each direction. Rate decision is priced in but Warsh's speech could change things depending on what's in store for September. I'm just worried that we'll end the day flat.
VIX puts? why not just buy calls on SPY?
SPY 800 end of month possible?
Of course. That truly happened to me. The fact I even openly say it to people is crazy bc I was SO ashamed I did that. I literally could’ve just put that in SPY or shit even bonds, and probably have my retirement set. But instead I got greedy and March 25 with trumps tarriff tantrum, I panicked and broke every single rule I had for myself and had learned. I was devastated and depressed. Eventually I had to just accept what’s done is done. People have lost much more than that and recovered. Life is long. I’m grateful for the lesson. Now I know I need to protect my capital. Especially when another 0 comes along. All I had to do was take 100k and throw it in SPY and I would’ve been set. Next time, maybe just buy shares and hold. That’s all I do now and while I have A LOT of ground to make up, I know eventually I will make it all back and more.
Kevin Walsh will be singing about unicorns and rainbows, inflation is transitory and Iran is BFF. SPY +3%
ASTS calls, RKLB/CRWV shares or calls, SPY calls slightly OTM expiring next week
Just so - profit is profit, no sense looking back, you didn't make a mistake. Holding too long is absolutely a mistake, on the other hand. My worst mistake so far in my little adventure was stacking QQQ and SPY calls and watching them evaporate; another two from buying too early; both of which are rookie errors. Had a this Friday option for RY that was doing well until yesterday when it took a dip; had a good day today and I paperhanded right out with a 64% gain. Which I immediately rolled into another one for July 17, right ATM so it was costly but the stock is doing very well
I hear this every damn week, SPY is 750
I have ran 2k to 100k 3 times now betting like this and lost every time. Only takes 1 time for you to make a massive purchase at the very peak and it drops 50% before you even have time to set a stop loss and you end up chasing just for it to be a -3% day in SPY. You will 100% lose all this money unless you withdraw
Buy SPSM. Small caps are going to have better overall earnings growth the next 4 quarters and trade at half the PE of the SPY.
Throw 200 a week in the SPY and forget about it and come back in 25 years man. You'll have a decent chunk. In the meantime do your thing and stop the gambling

Full port those last $81 into SPY 780 calls expiring this Thursday. Last Tuesday morning I turned $40 into $1000 while taking a one hour SHIT on QQQ puts. OPEN THE CASINO.
I can't even imagine who is selling at this juncture. Literally SPY with less downside and more upside.

No one wins with SPY
I can't believe I convinced myself to buy these SPY puts, premiums are retarded and I'm definitely getting IV crushed by theta gang tomorrow.
Is +3% SPY possible after Warsh?
VTI is just like SPY but with worse options. You're looking for 0 dte SPY calls.
I just feel the need to say the 1 day chart on SPY doesnt look good for tomarrow atleast. Ive also seen alot of bearish talk about the coming days. Idk if it just bs or what but just heads up

I chased cheap healthcare twice and just ended up bagholding while SPY kept ripping, so now I only nibble and keep most of my money elsewhere
Only reason we didnt shit the bed today is because SPY wasn’t following QQQ. QQQ did its on little dump today but THE BIG DROP IS COMING . Orange man has been talking about this Iran thing for 3 months nobody cares anymore

OP has 200K. He can sell 10 SPY 705 put or 1 SPX 7050 put. Income and collateral are the same. If the puts are ITM, he can roll the 7050 put out 4 weeks even strike to get 3300. Collateral has increased to 115K but his account can still cover it. or He can take assignment on 6 SPY puts (using 200K of margin debt), then he can sell 6 ATM CC for 1800.

🐂s: FUTES RIPPING! SPY 10% TOMORROW! BER R FUUUUUUUK! 🐻: Mmm well let me get my glasses on. 🧐 Ah no just some aftermarket settling after Institutional Selling during Sour Hour. Goodnight. 👋🐻
My tolerance for risk is very high so my portfolio has always been 1-4 high conviction growth stocks. Allowed me to snag PLTR @ $16, RKLB @ $17 and IREN at $17. Honestly I can't imagine having the majority of my money in SPY or a similar index at this point in my life, but I'm only in my mid 30s and could see that changing as my kids get older
Bruh, with these comments you would think SPY is up 1% on futures. \*Checks\* .09%
SPY opens at 755. It rallies to 760 before FOMC. Huge rate cuts. 780 EOD.
God either that or 0DTE SPY. Time to put my clown mask on again
I feel like this insane rallie will lead to the start of a multi year flat/bear market that will make "just buy and hold SPY/QQQ and you will outperform" people rethink their decision. Just zoom out and look how many years it took 2000s top buyers to break even on both indexes. w

When you roll a put down and out quickly after selling it, you realize a loss, because you were forced to buy back your put after it went up in value. You must roll your puts when threatened or accept the loss, because you have no limit to your losses. Yes, you can roll and sell a more expensive put lower and longer, but to get back to even on the trade that put has to decay enough to offset the realized loss from rolling. If you were to sell SPY puts or ES puts instead, you could wait for mean reversion to improve the situation, because you know the worst case scenario is that you are assigned SPY shares or ES contracts at the strike. Once assigned you can sell calls against them.
Serious question: What is the consensus on IWM and SPY calls for tomorrow? I am thinking it may pump into anticipation but dump near close or vice versa?
Dear SPY, I am once again writing to you asking for you to pamp. I appreciate your recent fulfillment of these requests, but your refusal today has left me scarred and afraid that you may do it again. If you would please listen to what I am asking and not be ghey, it would be much appreciated. Bear regards, Regard

If concrete and verified proof that the world’s elites were conspiring to pump and dump the markets at an unprecedented level in order to destroy the middle class when they inevitably pull the rug was published and promoted as a true and verifiable fact on every media outlet that exists, mfs would still buy and try to get out before shit crashes. I can see the comments saying “current valuation wouldn’t wipe out the middle class, it’s gonna go higher. SPY +50% EOY”
QQQ rallies 7% from here. SPY rallies 5%. new all time highs are coming. after that - the next weakness window is july 10 through early august. mark it
Seems risky and not sure if this is truly “doable”. First off, I’d think the #1 stock becomes #1 AFTER a huge run up already happened OR after the previous one dumped. Add Capital gains, struggling to time the market etc etc and I think I’m just gonna stay in SPY & QQQ for the most part

Shhh! They’ve sold etf’s to ensure mediocrity thrives so you can be controlled by the deep state. Tin hats rock! I beat the market year in and out wearing mine but never go out in public with it disclosed… I wear a burka over it when I buy my crack on the corner. Pick 10-15 high quality sp500 large cap stocks. Some growth, some high div yield ones. You can do 1 meme/FOMO/speculative only (i$hit, QBTS, no eps flavour of the month Reddit bs nasdaq stock). This is done for 30% of your port. 70% goes into SPY (or equivalent) ETF. IF doing in a 401K, or ROTH, no short term cap gains so learn to sell and play with house money and add on dips etc… not gunna give away the secret sauce here… but you are not on the correct path of subversive revolution to become “the man” who will one day get stuck!
Update: google exists so i looked it up lol. Yes i can BTC my sold contracts early which is nice, but inb4 some lunatic hits me with early assignment on a contract that they hardly make anything on in underlying, just to spite me 😂 I think im onto something here though. Say I construct a strangle at 750/760 on SPY (artificially wide to make the example simpler), but then I place buy stops at 752 for the put and 758 for the call, I'm untouchable now right? Surely nobody would early assign me on OTM contracts, right? *right?*
Going into tomorrow with SPY calls @ 751 that will expire on Friday . Let’s see if I’m dumb as shit or not Hint: yes I am
Bought 10k shares of SOXS today. Up 8k so far. But can't stop crying... sitting on 1tde 757 SPY calls and down 80k so far
Not at all. There is tons of good debt. If your debt is 3% and you make 10% on it, you're winning. Pay off any debt that's higher than your generated return. Credit cards, student loans (?), etc. Mortgage is usually last, as you even get to write it off. If you got a couple of million in the bank and a paid off house, you're doing it wrong. Mortgage the house to the tits at 3%, plow whatever you can get into the market, and let SPY and chill pay your mortgage for you, while living on the excess.
I got SPY puts too, but forgot it was ten minutes before market close...
Lost all of yesterday’s gains and then some. Feels like SPY should be down way more

SPY is opening at 760 tomorrow. Expecting some BS incoming rate cuts rumour to start flying overnight LMAO.
As I indicated in my writeup, Shkreli has earned his poor reputation. IMO the guy's a poor excuse for a human. In the interest of accuracy, Shkreli has been a hedge fund manager and an entrepreneur, not a venture capitalist. Not trying to "actually" you but those are different things and mixing them up can get confusing. He actually does have a pretty extensive tech background, having founded more than one software startup, but I really don't think he was brought on to fill a tech-expertise hole. That's more than covered. What I would say is he ALSO doesn't have a pharmaceutical background. He has a Bachelor's in business admin. What I'm getting at is he's a guy with a bachelor's degree who successfully took a brand new specialty drug all the way from concept through FDA approval and was acknowledged by the industry for his ability to pick up the complexities of drug development like he had PhD in biochemistry. Whatever function the company envisions for him probably has more to do with adaptive intellect that's proven itself in profound ways. I can't confirm the notes about financial insufficiency, but I won't wholly deny them either until I've had enough time to satisfactorally nail those things down into specific numbers. The only quible I have is that your two pathways leave out multiple common funding potentials. At this stage, with this company's potential, there are any number of avenues including partnerships, outside investments, it's even a potential acquisition target. I'm still drilling down and should have a good idea where dev stands soon, hopefully I can be done with the filings this evening, but I want to ask you, with complete sincerity, if the product is five years from going to market, would that prevent you from trading this stock? I'm honestly trying to understand. This is a penny stock sub... It is a penny stock for a number of reasons. Those reasons create the potential for asymmetrical gains, but that opportunity doesn't come for free. It comes at the cost of some degree of security and predictability. That's why we are here. That's what pennies are for. If these guys had a proven prototype with a hard go-to-market date, we would be discussing them in another forum. If they had profitability and guaranteed runway through 2050, we would not be able to buy them for $4.00 and have any realistic expectation of selling our shares for twice that on a near-term horizon. I have never been served well trying to find the next $AAPL among pennies. What serves me well is identifying 3-6 month windows where emerging NASDAQ companies have a high probability of potential catalysts and either little capacity or little intent to dilute. $QCLS climbed 20% over the past week on SPY alone. They are in the most catalyst-rich period of development they will have. They should have multiple runs within the next 3-6 month window, providing multiple profitable trades, potentially even underwriting a swing position, which is my intent. Honestly, does this make sense, or is there something I am overlooking? I appreciate your questions, they are relevant. But I've posted here at times and been made to wonder if I'd accidentally posted in an Investment forum.
Tried to get in on the SOXL downturn. Lost $100 so I left lmao Oh well, I guess I'll stick to NVIDIA... Nvm I guess there's always SPY... 📉 Today was not a good day to be bullish 😂
Rate increases already priced in, in my opinion. Despite its context of everything, ive decided that the market is more irrational than my thoughts, thus I half-ported SPY 754c
F U day on SPY. Still holding loads of calls until next week.
Are they? The SPY/QQQ index are outperforming because of these tech stocks. Just pretend the price isn't dropping if you want. You can just not look at the price/chart and there's nothing to worry about if the economy is good and AI profits then if you want.
