What’s your question? You seem to have stumbled across the concepts of win rate VS expected value. You’ve noticed that your win rate can be high but your expected value can still be negative, meaning that over the long run the trade will lose money. That observation is correct.

I am familiar with mining exploration so I’ve always had an interest in these companies. Precious metals are on a run so any company that has holdings from active mining or drill results showing good reserves are likely to see growth. Most of them will end up worthless but companies run by directors with previous success improve the odds. It’s important to look at how many shares a company has outstanding and how much cash they have VS their spending to know if they will be issuing more shares to fundraise as well as where they are in their production. There’s a lot to get into but anything with known reserves or active mining should be in a good position. Right now I really like Getchell Gold Corp (GTCH.CN), Mako Mining Corp (MKO.V) and Blue Lagoon Resources (BLLG.CN) to name a few. I only hold a small percentage of investment in these stocks, but when one goes it’s a fun ride.

I just like doing CSP’s. Every once in a while CC’s I’m good with that. I just look at a naked 1 week,1month, and 3month chart. 95% of the time I pick stocks with weekly options. I pick a few stocks in the share price range I want. Then check their financials, any news articles, then Reddit forms, just to see how active they are. Next I check premiums on the CSP’s and pick the one that makes the most sense in how much capital do I need VS how much I get in premiums.

No_Art_2787

im doubtful. The drop off in demand already has housing and energy in near double digit drops % so far in the last YoY. The only thing pushing inflation up right now is politics, which can end in a phone call. We cant strike a political deal to turn course in the job market. We havent even begun to unpack the overall equity bubble around AI/Tech/Speculation. I dont think its going to be *that* bad. I just dont think inflation, in the Inflation (stagflation) VS deflation (recession) is the correct side to be on. I think plain jane recession is where we're going.

No_Art_2787

I disagree with high inflation. I think we all feel burnt from covid inflation and the "its just transitory and only supply side". This time it really is just transitory, and supply side. 1: This inflation is driven by political bargaining (Tariffs) that is changing by the hour at times through tweets and pressors. They can melt away rapidly through trade deals, or just the admin TACO-ing out. 2: a baby rate cut, or even a large one wont fuel inflation for 6-12 months, it wont even right the wrong in the job market for awhile either. Drop in demand is going to be the overpowering pressure when it comes to prices. 3: A major recession we're going to see more drop in demand than supply side decrease. Essentially right now the real money to be made is who cant figure out what will be worse, job loss or inflation. Right now we're "just above target" on inflation VS theres job reports such as NYC only adding 1K jobs in the first half of 2025, when historically jobs increase by 30-50K in that same time period on avg over the last 10 years. To also put it into perspective, look at the major changes on expectations. Jobs 22K vs 75K expected. Or inflation is 2.9 VS 2.85 expectation. The move on inflation is microscopic compared to the job market movements.

Why it is completely irrelevant is that BoJ is still printing money, committed to doing so until 2027 and has full control of their yield curve via distribution of debt maturity. Issuance + central bank activities can easily control yields to whatever they want.

BLESSED_NOT_PRESSED

Sigh…the first mistake was deploying your entire capital in one go @ $600 a contract. Especially with such a high risk/reward contract. Example(hypothetical) : @20 contracts $6.00 ; +10 more @ 300 +20 more @ .50 = 12,000 + 3000 + 1000 =16,000 VS $30,000 upfront with no hedge. Regardless even if you followed the above hypothetical - your contract was a dud from the first buy, but you would at least have room to mitigate losses or scalp to reduce loses. 30K vs 16K is near a 50% difference in loss simply by DCAing. NOTE: DCA IS NOT THE WAY TO GO ABOUT OPTIONS; IF THE GREEKS ARE ALL AGAINST YOU, YOU WILL ONLY DIG DEEPER HOLES BY DCA. What would have done: Keep enough open cash flow to hedge against the dud contract and try to scalp as much profits at the price points it was trading at by getting other calls/puts closer to strike price. The second mistake was going only 1 week out expiry with such a big gap between currently strike price and current price with 1 week to recover. You practically took all the variables a contract is up against and maxed it out. From entry price, theta /time decay, delta decay, etc.

Their advantage is ease of use and that they target different customers than Databricks or Snowflake. It's kinda like how Power BI has a bunch of prebuilt data transformation shortcuts and logic pre-programmed into single clicks VS Tableau which assumes you can write SQL queries or have already made the tables/views in the database. Palantir's product offers a bunch of pretrained AI models and features with a few clicks. You are not limited from doing more advanced customization, but it's not the appeal nor that greatly optimized for it. In the end, it'll work for most 95% of use cases, and that is what sells it. That and their industry and government connections.

Its like - A way of senior tackling any problem VS the junior buddy. Problem is same for both - just the thought process is different so one is able to achieve it quickly and other has to think and rub more. Same applies for AI as well. It primarily depends on prompts because it will give a thought process to AI. Till now I have used almost all the Chatgpt and Claude models but all them were somehow able to complete implementation everytime (no matter how complex problem it was) - if my prompts were proper. So, I dont beileve on 95% of implementations fail - from my last 6 months of extensive usage of AI, I would say that 60-70% of implementation were complete. Since last few weeks after GPT-5 launch I am able to achieve around 80-90% of accuracy in completing my tasks.

This person's advice is one of the best. Additionally, You will not always hit this goal. Sometimes you'll be flat, or you'll hit a losing streak Focus on making sure that you can accept small % wins, and practice pulling out even if you're slightly wrong. It's 10x better to: • Pull out and lose 10%, watch it go up 30% and be mad VS • Watching it go down 10%, holding, then watching as it slowly bleeds to -60%

and they did that right after they got the first 2 billion dollars CHIPs tranche. On top of that they decided maybe building fabs was not needed lol. So much for government oversight, better to get Equity if you want a bailout cause at least we have upside VS privatize the gains socialize the losses the CHIPs act was serving the taxpayer.

Still a better communism VS the CHIPs communism where Intel gets billions in return we get nothing so it is Privatize the gains and socialize the losses. At least we get something In return, want a bailout for the incompetence of spending billions on share buybacks VS R&D etc... you Gotta give us something in return. no more privatize gains BS at least if Intel does well we gain as well. before it was here is 9 billion dollars. free taxpayer gift, Intel does well but we get nothing but coal.

Yet another example... >Been wheeling for a few years now and I have to disagree with you on performance. Problem here is you're going to talk about a specific type of variation on the wheel, vs "vanilla buy and hold". >If you dont know what you're doing, you will definitely lose money wheeling trash stocks. There. "If you don't know what you're doing" translates to, "I'm not _just_ following the rules of the wheel, ie selling a puts until assignment, then covered calls until assignment, rinse and repeat". >Those of us that do know what were doing are averaging like 50% in good years and like 20% in bad years. As do those who "know what they are doing" with buy-and-hold with the _same_ assumption you're implicitly making here. People usually don't see that assumption, and that's the problem. >Wheeling works if you aren't trading meme stocks that leave you bag holding for years at a time. So does buying and holding. Here's the issue: when people say they're trading the wheel and they "know what they're doing" it means exactly one thing: they're timing the market, and trading the wheel only when it makes sense. "Beating the market" in those circumstances _cannot_ be attributed to the wheel: it's trivial to show that "vanilla the wheel" underperforms "vanilla buy and hold". Beating the market when "knowing what you're doing" means that you have _some_ mechanism to indicate when the wheel is likely to overperform VS underperform. If you compare "the informed wheel" with an "I formed long only strategy" (eg, only ever hold shares or be flat, based on some indication of what the market is doing), things will once again show the wheel underperfoming. It could be as simple as "when /u/downtofinance isn't trading the wheel, go long; when they start wheeling, go flat". This should overperform because: - it will avoid holding the underlying on times when the wheel overperforms, which are when the market is going down - it will hold the underlying when the wheel underperforms, which is when the market is going up People will either compare apples to apples and make some mistake in the comparison, or compare apples to oranges in a way that makes it really hard to see that those are oranges and not apples.

The AI infused IDE's are all just forks from VS Code and using some other company's frontier models. More or less they've created what boils down to an AI plug-in masqueraded to look like they built a full product. VS Code already does the same with Copilot. How much business worth can this product have which has little if any IP? So capital markets will prop this up to the tune of billions maybe tens of billions. Some unsuspsecting investor says look an "AI" play, I better buy it in case it blows up like everything else "AI". The fact that GOOGL poached the talent from Winsurf just shows where the value is, in the employees and talent who can build a full stack proprietary soution that has value. If the "tool" Winsurf has is so valuable, wouldn't have GOOGL tried to just purchase it all?

GPT 5 proves the chart of AI quality VS computer power is logarithmic, if not asymptomatic. For the bulls, that means big diminishing returns, maybe even an upper limit. You may think this means only NVDA is fuk and the AI devs like META will be cutting costs and raking in profits. Not so, with the barrier to entry lowered commoditization of AI is inevitable.

Shoend

you can either pump the stock market or devalue the US dollar. If you devalue the dollar you lose foreign investment. If the dollar keeps losing value, OP is right in moving its assets elsewhere because they simply appreciate overtime thanks to the exchange rate. That would also be true for the stock market since January btw. Take the eurostoxx VS SP500. They both appreciated by 9% since January. If you had invested 100 EUR in the Eurostoxx you'd have 109 EUR, which means 127 USD now. Compare it to 100 USD which would give you 109 USD by investing in the SP500. This is not hard to understand.

Also, cool thing about it is you can literally just ask it yourself. "Hi, ChatGPT here, let’s walk you through this step by step on how to vibe code with me and how I can help you craft what you want to make without any coding knowledge. --- 1 — Tell me the vibe first Example prompts: “I want a simple stock tracker that lets me add stocks, shows profit/loss, and saves my data.” “I want a crypto-only tracker with live prices and a dark theme.” “I want the same as the stock tracker, but mobile-friendly and looks like Robinhood.” --- 2 — Tell me the features Just list what you want, even if you don’t know the technical words: “Add/remove stocks” “See total profit/loss” “Save data automatically” “Work on my phone” “Export to CSV” You can also give examples: > “I like how Google Finance looks, can you make it like that but with my watchlist saved?” --- 3 — Tell me how you’ll use it This helps me decide how I’ll build it: “Just for me on my laptop” → I’ll make a single HTML file you can double-click. “For me and friends online” → I’ll add a backend (PHP/MySQL). “Mobile only” → I’ll make it responsive and touch-friendly. --- 4 — How to ask for changes When you see the first version, you can say: “Make the table columns bigger” “Change colors to black/gold” “Add a search bar at the top” “Make it sort by largest gain first” You don’t need to know the code words — just describe what you want to see. --- 5 — How we’ll pass code back and forth I’ll paste the full code here. You copy/paste it into a text editor (Notepad, Notepad++, VS Code). Save it as .html (example: tracker.html). Double-click to run it. --- Example prompt you could send me: > “Hi ChatGPT, I want to vibe code a crypto + stock tracker. It should be dark mode, let me add coins/stocks with qty & avg cost, show profit/loss, save automatically, and work on my phone. Make it one HTML file I can open locally. Then I’ll tell you tweaks.” --- If you want, I can give you a mini “fill in the blank” template for these prompts so you never have to think about how to ask — just fill it and send it to me. Want me to make that template?"

Intel is a perfect example of a company that pivoted towards financial engineering for temp stock pumps. Look at the hollowed out mess they are, look at the market cap VS AMD which was the underdog in the past but decided to focus on technical engineering for long term growth vs Intel's financial engineer for CEO bonus checks. They even said no to Steve Jobs for making the iPhone cpu and then sold off StrongARM right after for cash to be used for share buybacks so C-suite stock options vest. Imagine if the CEO said yes to Steve Jobs and kept StrongARM. Intel would be 10x worth more.

Few thoughts. Replace “get” with buy. My advice is run this thought experiment with real numbers and share your findings. Numbers hard data like prepping for giving a speech makes the process safer to me. Use a spread sheet or other tracking capability to show how it works consistently. What exact buy strikes and sell strikes make the process work… and what provides highest probable profit outcome vs safety. Knowing this helps how “it works during various probability/volatility events” I would consider - Whats your consistent return on this ‘product’ you are creating VS simple selling call options and managing that process? Creating a plan that you stick to when things get off/crazy seems like a smart thing to do. Helps you focus. Then tweaking after the fact if needed. I would test that plan before using cash.

Hi all, this is my first posting to Reddit (or any site for that matter). But learned quite a bit about $PACS here. Lot of insightful comments. Helpful. But I did not see anyone talk about NPR here. NPR (Net Patient Revenue)- I found this looking around ( I am bigly invested in $PACS, bought several times starting around $14 thru $11) . Please see this link, it shows PACS group total Medicare and Medicare NPR is larger than ENSIGN for 2024. $4.2B VS. $4.02B, PACS is largest revenue getter from government and ENSIGN is the second. I understand that PACS may have to take out at least $65 (may be some more for q3 and Q4) - still PACS NPR may stay larger than ensign for year 2024. Please let us know if anyone see significance to this. Btw, for 2023 NPR, ENSIGN was way ahead of PACS. $3.5B vs. $2.6B. Ensign was highest and PACS was third.

Literally argument can be made for anyone buying stock, at any time. The argument "well theres risk!" is silly, just dont invest or trade. The argument for CSP VS buying the underlying as a bulk buy, is missing out on major moves up. But if theres a company you like, but think you have "time", CSP/CC is a good tool. this is assuming someones wheeling a ticker they actually respect/think is good value.

Comparing Ethereum to Bitcoin isn’t really valid, they serve fundamentally different purposes. Bitcoin is designed to be sound, decentralized money. Ethereum functions more like a decentralized application platform for apps, a layer for Web3. XRP can be compared to BTC though as it aims to take over the global payments market like Bitcoin does. But XRPs properties are not as good as Bitcoins properties and can’t be trusted as much as Bitcoin can be trusted among other problems. BTC VS Gold VS fiat VS XRP is what the future is looking to be in terms of currency. Stable coins are mostly backed by fiat. (60% of XRP’s supply is held by ripple, the parent company)

This would be the (oil refinery industry/Cheveron/Exxon Mobil/other popular individual companies). When the “oil refinery industry,” was well-fine tuned —> and oil became very abundant. It caused this to happen. The (WHALING INDUSTRY collapsed very quickly) and (OIL REFINERY INDUSTRY was the new winner). (OIL REFINERY INDUSTRY vs the ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY for vehicles). PS: (WHALING INDUSTRY) and (OIL REFINERY INDUSTRY) and (ELECTRICITY INDUSTRY for vehicles) — would all be classified as falling under the umbrella of the (ENERGY SECTOR). Over the many decades, no one thought about the aspect of: (1)ENERGY SECTOR losing its dominance, in terms of “capital appreciation growth”/and (2)TECHNOLOGY SECTOR gaining immense popularity, and becoming the most dominant in terms of “capital appreciation growth.”

Describes my Gf whom Will likely be wife soon. Other than a very low interest mortgage she has no debt. Makes a lot in a fairly low cost of living area because we are in the middle of nowhere and it’s hard to get doctors to stay there. Plus she works excessively, has many other side jobs and is in somewhat of a leadership roll. Has a fat retirement and few million in the market being ran by a money manager who has been directed to do high risk investments thus far. Unlike her co-workers she never spent any money other than a few vacations and doesn’t have kids. It’s insane. I was thinking we should take 100k and do some higher risk trading like purchasing Microsoft and then selling covered calls. Or buying bitcoin, or waiting until things feel right and buying in the money call options on google. All of those would be higher risk than what her money manager would do. The advice I’m getting is to do low risk investments and protect the money because our life won’t change if we had 5million VS 2 million but if we had 2 million and we lose 1 million it may change our lives. That advice makes sense, I still think it’s reasonable to try theta gang strategy, basically run the wheel with 100-200k

yeah ROTH is where you want to be at your age. 1.) Traditional accounts benefit people who have extremely high tax brackets \*now\* but who intend to withdraw less later or unique situations where you're right on the cusp of a higher tax bracket and you can use the traditional account to knock you down a tier (so you could contribute to a retirement account without your take-home pay really feeling altered at all). But even then, ROTH is widely considered the optimal option for most people making less than 100k a year because it's expected that taxes will have to go up in the future to cover our massive government debt, especially 30 years from now. The key for a ROTH is you cant contribute more than you've made in a single tax year, and you can't put in more than 7k in a single year. If you've made more than 7k you could max it even if the money is actually from prior years (to be clear: if you have 10k saved over 3 years, but you earned 7k this year in income, you can contribute 7k even if you've only truly saved 1k this year). Your 70/30 spread VTI/VXUS is probably where I would go for now too (I invest in individual stocks in my personal IRA as I consider myself a value investor, but my 401k is limited to index funds which I'm currently 50% S&P 500 (they don't offer VTI), 40% VXUS, and 10% an SGOV equivalent). I'll sell the SGOV and buy the S&P 500 if we have a major correction at some point - I normally wouldn't do this but the S&P is pretty richly valued right now. Then you just buy those, and don't touch or look at them for a very, very long time lol. Questions: Definitely a ROTH ira - you can open one really easily at any brokerage. Earnings VS. Contributions: yep! Let's say you contribute 100$ today, the market goes up 10%, you make 10 bucks. You can withdraw the 100$ today no problem, the 10 stays \*and\* the sale of the security isn't taxable and the 10$ doesn't count as income - in fact you'll \*never\* pay taxes on it. Hey, you're thinking about saving now. You're light years ahead of me. I spent my entire 20s with about 2.5k in the bank and spending absolutely everything else. I had some great times, and I worked some really crapo easy jobs, but I really regret it now lol.

It’s actually sad… people like you shouldn’t be in this room. I’m sure in real life, you’re an extremely negative person/ not to many friends / single. Remember, not matter what the case may be it’s always US ( the people) VS them ( companies)…. We should ALWAYS be hopeful and positive towards one another here!! Always!!! Sad person you are!

Because retail doesn't understand about share price VS market cap.   On the other hand retail doesn't know shit and could dump enough in to turn this $1B company into a $10B company because meme or shorts or something. $10/share is irrational, but market can stay irrational bla bla blah....

… an equal tax has been considered obsolete and unjust for ages. A 10% tax on someone who has $100 VS someone who has $1,000 does *not* affect those people’s lives and purchasing power equally. “Equal fees and taxes” are why the wealthy think of parking tickets, bail, etc as just fees

Google Gemini integrates with Google Colab, Google Drive, Google Sheets, GitHub, etc., inaddition to integrating with VS Code, making it ideal for serious researchers and data scientists. Microsoft Copilot integrates with GitHub and VSCode as well, although their LLM is a bit lacking. ChatGPT has a good LLM--much better than Copilot but a bit short of Gemini recently. But its lack of integration pales in comparison to the big players, and its appeal is obvious to those who only think of LLMs as basic chatbots.

**Ber VS Market** The newest hit show where it pits a ber vs a market. On tonight's episode some retard ber fights the regular old market. Here we go. He's pushing his way through. He's trying to fight that market. The market seems to have the upper hand. Oh the ber has a little bit of push back there. OH NO. He just got ran over and chewed up by the market. I guess that's another one for the market. Hahaha, I mean, won't the market always win?

Congratulations! I also just sold all of my NVDA and plan to DCA into VT over the next 11 months, also due to the Orange guy causing volatility. I only started investing in 2023, I fucked around with stupid stocks at first but ended up getting out of those and putting all my money into Shopify, NVDA and AMD. I have a retirement fund in HK solely on North American equities (similar to VOO/VTI) so I thought some individual stocks were fine. Ultimately I guess I value the fear of losing my gains more vs losing out on future gains. No where near the % of gains as you, but NVDA and SHOP has treated me very well, I plan to hold AMD until it reaches its previous ATH after that it's all VT for me. I'll be roughly 74%-26% in US VS Other markets once all my current cash is invested and even though I'm not from US nor live there, I feel this is the way forward for now. .. though similar to you, if NVDA does drop again, I probably won't be able to help myself but pick up some more shares.

Sure thing BVPS - book value per share. Imagine it like assets VS liabilities, you don’t really want your liabilities to outweigh your assets.. If you ever see negative BVPS that is a distress signal 🆘 BVPS does not account for certain intangible items like trademarks and such. EPS is simply earnings per share. Dust all settled, how much do they MAKE after doing their business. The easiest example I can think of is a mining operation that hasn’t hit gold in a long while is likely to have a low or negative EPS because they are not pulling in new gold to sell, but they are still spending money on mining operations Personally for me the biggest sign I know something is a dilution scam is when you see extremely negative EPS number combined with a chart that looks something vaguely like https://preview.redd.it/aumlvga6xrbf1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=132cfde4719134287111fc09d95d3393143fc2b4 Hope these help and happy trading 🤠

Then again look at NVDA since IPO compared to S&P 500. NVDA about 70,000%. VS SPX about 300%.

No. There's no inherent advantage to selling options VS buying options. You'll often hear - even in this sub - people parroting absolute non-sense crap they heard from supposedly reputable sources such as "the casino sells the options, be the casino". That's absurd. Options are priced, and quoted, in a way that the quote provider believes they're neither losing _nor making money_ whether they buy or sell. That's just the nature of their business. If they thought for one instant that "selling options is +EV" at the bid they're currently quoting (that is, if they believe that whoever sells them an option at their bid has an inherent higher chance of making money), guess what, they'll lower that bid until that's not true anymore. So, no, selling options is not +EV, nor -EV. What may have a non-zero expected value is your overall strategy, which includes selection of market, expiration, strikes, rights, whether to go long or short, order management, timing of entries and exits, etc.
