"Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe are exploring a shareholder derivative suit against XYZ for fraud, misrepresentation, etc. Shareholders are encouraged to reach out to the firm." Considering that the SEC basically doesn't exist except as a stepping stone for newly-minted JDs and never does anything, I consider this a buy signal once the sell-off slows. Looks like it's Roblox's turn.
The answer is there is no practical difference. Every time you make a managing trade, it is synthetically equivalent to making that trade on it's own (or more accurately, layering it onto your existing position). Example: Say you are long the XYZ 100 Call. You roll up from 100 to 110 by selling your 100 strike call and purchasing the 110 strike call. That order would look something like this: \-1 XYZ 100c \+1 XYZ 110c If we look at this order in isolation, we can clearly recognize this as a call credit spread. So **every time you roll a leg, you are layering a synthetic vertical spread** (or calendar/diagonal spread if you are rolling between expirations). The cool thing about this is the performance of that management specifically is exactly equal to the risk profile of the layered trade. Let's say in our example that the 100c/110c credit spread is worth $0.25 in credit. That means that: \- We will receive $0.25 credit for rolling, reducing our risk by that amount \- If the stock expires below 100, the management will have outperformed by $25 (compared to not managing the position), equal to the theoretical profit of the layered trade \- If the stock expires above 110, the management will have underperformed by $75 (compared to not managing the position), equal to the theoretical loss of the layered trade **TLDR:** Any time you are considering any management, you can easily visualize the outcome of that management (compared to not managing the position) by treating the order as a standalone position and putting it into an options calculator or something similar. The theoretical profit of the standalone position is the theoretical outperformance of the managed position vs the unmanaged position, and vice versa Hope that makes sense!
Just to throw in my 2c.... What ahs worked reasonably well for me is to use many different resources, and be skeptical of ALL of them! For example - I may watch a few youtubers occasionally, and listen to what stocks they are currently focused on......but ONLY so far as " ok maybe ill look into stock XYZ further..." but that's all. Same goes for Reddit, or media, or that friend at work, or whatever....only ever use it as a starting point! Learn how to do a good quantitative Analysis (if you dont already) - that you can use to at least determine the more fundamental and basic financials. That way you can take the stocks your hearing about or being told about - and at least have a basic starting point grounded in statistics. - On a related note, I feel like one of the most common mistakes I see endlessly is - not having patients! A stock will be identified say on here for example and your QA analysis shows that it is in fact currently priced really well/undervalued. Well time and time again I see people pile into it, thinking it should go up because its undervalued - but when it hasn't moved 2 or 3 weeks later - they are posting about how its "shit" or "what's the deal with XYZ stock" and they bail out and move on to the next hottest thing. Often times in my experience - if you just had some patients, you would have been rewarded. If the stock was a "good" buy 3 weeks ago.......and *nothing has changed about it or the macro environment since then* , then there's no reason to bail on it! but people get really impatient and want to be "doing" something when they really should just be waiting! Good luck
your the one buying the stock. If you are doing your own due diligence and not relying on FOMO you should be the one telling us this. IMO its far more helpful (all admit, does more damage to your ego) is to post your thesis for a company and let reddit tear it down and test it, than just asking if you would buy XYZ stock. If you really like a company you should love hearing negative feedback because it forces you to do more research, consider points you might not have thought of, and steel strengthens steel
I think this is a huge mistake. If you originally bought XYZ stock for $1 and it’s now worth $10, then every dollar increase in stock price represents a 100 percent increase in value. Now say you sell at $10, immediately rebuy, and now the price moves to $11. Instead of making a 100% increase in value for that dollar you are now only making 10% because you reset your cost basis to $10 instead of $1.
TPL, DECK, SMCI, COIN, TTD, XYZ, etc All way down since SP500 added
Yeah it can't get the info fast enough for the reps that buy a stock the day before signing a defense bill that favors it or some bombs start dropping or whatever. That sort of realtime insider trading disclosure would actually be a security leak. Oh shit senator XYZ just bought a ton of Ratheon, (current target country) goes to defcon 1.
Thanks for the tip, I genuinely did not know this. Also, as Google Assistant is still the default for Google Maps, I've been noticing that it is being gimped as time goes by. I ask it for the nearest coin op car wash, and it's like Sorry I Don't Fucking Understand. Or I say, what is the Ex Dividend Date of XYZ and it spits me the same answer, like come the fuck on, I know it is more than capable of answering.
He runs $XYZ (Block, formerly Square).
PLTR and XYZ would be +50% if that ever happens.
You’re misunderstanding why I commented in the first place, which is sort of reasonable. Look at the convo, some dude was saying DJT is manipulating the market, other dude is saying no, the stock went down for actual XYZ reason. At the time I commented, the dude -3 upvotes bc he was disagreeing about DJT, I just said, don’t listen you’re right, bc there’s a non-conspiracy reason why it went down. I don’t really care what the exact actual technical reason Netflix went down, but it’s not from DJT pulling shenanigans and trying to insider trade. Regardless, the stock went down for a reason on the short term, not bc DJT felt like being goofy. I appreciate the extra info, I’ll read up on some more buyouts
NGL, I don’t understand the hate towards this stock. Business fundamentals are solid. There is a lot that goes into a stock, but on a pure EPS play you are not going to find many stocks that beat PFE that has bond levels of dividend performance which if things bomb for the stock in a worse case scenario they are likely to just hold and not cut. This stock has a sky high dividend rate for a company 100+ years old. It has survived recessions and depressions and it acquires new biotech in line with industry standards. We can have a debate on their internal innovation, but for a company with EARNINGS in the 10+ billions of dollars range they can probably buy their way out of every patent cliff they have and are actively diversifying their product pipeline as well as investing in LLM partnerships that will keep them current when personalized medicine becomes a reality. I’ll be honest with my vision for this. I hope you all sell. I hope this stock drops below $20 so my DRIP buys me more stock than it would at 40. I’m not selling for the foreseeable future if ever. I’d rather stake my financial future and that of my family on a stock with a solid financial sheet that the public hates for XYZ reasons than just investing in the latest crypto trash or meme stock with an EPS over 30. Do I want PFE to bounce so option traders get a buck? No. Honestly I’d rather you short the stock. Please, from the bottom of my heart prove me wrong. I’ll post on wallstreetbets when everyone shows me the error of my ways. Until then I’ll trust in my understanding of biotech.
Always love the people that say “Well if you ignore XYZ, then the GDP didn’t go up.”
At his level of capabilities, tokenisation infrastructure (once fully operational and reliable) enables financialisation of absolutely everything, while regulation on tokenisation will inevitably be late by years and decades, due to inner complexities of infrastructure. If a banker can collateralise (via tokens) **everything** and make \~50x in credit funny money, while having little or no regulations (like crypto in early days), that is a business that gets all his attention. Just random examples. A gold mining company (a thing for the next 10 years) needs one or ten billion dollars to build a mine. What do they do today? Sell a stream or royalty, sell equity and warrants, or mostly they get a credit line. Slow, complex and holds them back. Now Mr Fink's minions can make a deal, tokenise the whole contained gold in the deposit (after the usual bankable feasibility study), and with a little bit of banking magic they can sell it today, get the money tomorrow, fund the company's mine build, and get some 0.01% commissions at every step. But 0.01% of a 2Moz gold deposit will be worth $1M soon (almost there), so any further trading in these tokens between holders can bring $1M every day, or every hour, whatever the tading volume might be. Then there are copper mines that are costly to build ($10\~20b), so a major pain to get funding for. And again, Mr Fink's magical tokeniser machine will turn it into tokens available for trading, and backed by real copper in the ground. This machinery unlocks illiquid high-quality assets with guaranteed demand, and once operational and reliable, it does it repetitively like a factory robot makes cars. Mr Fink can replace most of the private credit community that has been funding such mining projects, should he decides so. Next obvious market is real estate: fund the development by tokenising unbuilt buildings, sell it in open market to anyone interested, get his 0.01% on each transaction. In this one, Mr Fink will eat commercial bank's food, all of it, anywhere on the planet, not being limited to one country or something. Another thing is tokenised metals, all of them, from gold to minor metals that don't even have futures. Some XYZ Co may be sitting on several tons of iridium, and the only buyer is a refining company that will not be named here. A call to Mr Fink's minion, and bam! - iridium stash is tokenised, now freely traded by anyone interested, Mr Fink gets his 0.01% from each trade. In terms of financialisation power, this is like a klingon battleship vs blonde in bathtub - who wins is not a probability. Mr Fink wants to win, so he wants his klingon battleship ready asap, and not become the blonde in bathtub when someone else does it first.
Can help to make pot odds decisions. Example, polymarket has 20% odds that XYZ closes above $100 at some point by the end of December. I make $1000 if XYZ closes above $100 at some point in December, and loose $200 if it doesn't (maybe this is the remaining value of the option and it will expire worthless at the end of December). The expected value of holding till the end of December is 1000\*(.2) - 200\*(.8) = $40
Cathie Wood buy/sells today: Bought: $BMNR — 550,404 shares $COIN — 64,946 shares $CRWW — 136,670 shares $CRCL — 143,579 shares $XYZ — 92,845 shares Sold: $TSLA — 124,867 shares $SOFI — 42,465 shares $SHOP — 27,571 shares FUCKING CRCL AND CRWV LMAO
In theory, the width of the spread is essentially the cost required for market makers to take on the risk of owning (or being short) the stock, even if it’s only for a moment’s time. Housing these shares, even if only for a moment- brings on the risk of the stock moving, news coming out, etc etc. If fewer entities are trading the stock, the spread should in theory widen to the point that there is proper incentive for market makers to show a bid or offer. E.G. Say a small company in XYZ is worth $100 a share. It is not traded often. A market maker may not feel comfortable buying the shares at $99.99… but hey we’ve got no problem buying them from you at $90 if you’re willing to sell at a 10% discount!! This example is obviously extreme but that is how the spread operates. The spread is a cost- a fee, and it’s what’s need to give market makers incentive to provide liquidity. OP’s comment of just using a limit is really just flipping it backwards. OP is now acting as the market maker. It doesn’t magically evade the cost of the spread and OP is not guaranteed completion with a limit order.
Can you elaborate on what particular math you need help with? Otherwise, here are some useful tidbits for PMCCs The first thing to understand with Poor Man's Covered Calls (PMCCs) is that they are [**synthetically equivalent to calendar collars.**](https://www.reddit.com/r/thetagang/comments/ln5qsj/the_leaps_are_a_lie_and_the_truth_behind_pmccs/) You are essentially long stock with a synthetic protective put, and you are selling a short term call against it to collect some premium. So a method to consider for long strike selection is looking at the puts and asking yourself which you would buy if you were buying protection on long stock, and then use that strike/expiration for your long call. Just an idea There's also a common equation traders often use to ensure they have upside potential and aren't selling their short too close. The easiest method is to just add the price of the long call to the strike of the long call, and then they would typically look to sell their short call at or above this value (if their goal is to have some upside potential right away). For example, if you pay $3.5 for the XYZ $18 calls, and you want some potential gains to the upside, you would typically look to sell at or above the 21.5 strike for your short call. It's also okay to sell below this value, but just understand that this typically requires your short to expire worthless/get closed early for you have any profitability to the upside
Sometimes its also good to analyze those feelings and emotions and ask the "why" of it. Why did i feel this way, why did i do XYZ based on my feeling. Its all data to be added to your internal system to help you grow
> Why t.f call it the "premium"? Just call it what it is ya know. lol. Except that it is a premium. It's a contract with an underwriter, so it makes sense to use terminology that comes from the insurance and underwriting world. Put another way, if 100 shares of XYZ is worth $100/share today and I sell you a call for $150/share, what should we call that money that is exchanged? If it's called the price of the contract, you'd expect the price to reflect the fair value that we both agree to, right? But why should I sell you something at fair value at no profit to myself? After all, I'm taking on some risk here that the shares I'm committing might be worth $175/share at expiration. Therefore, when I build a profit margin into my sale of a call contract to you, it's reasonable for that profit margin to be a *premium* over the fair value that we both agree with, right?
I believe this. I also believe it could deliver negative returns for a decade. And lastly, I believe it could deliver positive returns for a decade. All 3 are possibilities. It’s useless when firms say “we could see XYZ results” - it’s not even a prediction just a statement of possibilities.
Kind of, but you're thinking about it only in terms of at expiration. The fact that you're obligated to sell the shares when you are writing a call is important. Say you own 100 shares of company XYZ at $50/share. You sell a covered call at $60 strike and collect a $3 premium. The next day the share price goes up to $59. You now have $900 unrealized gains from your held shares, but you will have maybe $300 in unrealized losses from your covered call. If you decide you want to exit your position for whatever reason, you're $300 worse off than if you had just placed and cancelled a limit order. Also to your point about what you "think" the market will do--yes, options are a zero-sum game. But people buy calls because they expect a stock to go up. If that's your prediction, selling covered calls works against you, on average.
No problem at all, these are all great questions, and they're hard to figure out on your own. So I think with most brokers you *don't* need a margin account. At least at Schwab I've had it happen to me in IRAs (which can't have leverage). And yes, the broker WILL borrow shares and sell them 'for' you. Same as if you one day said, "I'm gonna short 100 shares of XYZ." (Although I'm not sure you can *do* that in an IRA. So you sold 100 shares that you didn't have, and now you're short the shares. **But you also got paid for them.** And this part is weird because the cash doesn't show up as Buying Power, but it's there. It's just cancelled/balanced out by the short shares. So if you were short 100 shares at $10, there's $1,000 somewhere in your account. So to get un-short, you simply buy 100 shares. And I know it won't look like you can, because you may not have the BP, but you can. Just put in the order and it'll go through. Actually, click on the -100 shares or whatever you have to do, and choose "Close Position" or whatever it is on your platform. The order will go through and you'll no longer be short the shares, and the money you 'had' from their sale is now gone. If the stock stayed right at $10, you'd be flat on the trade: $1,000 worth of shares sold, $1,000 to buy them back. It's when the stock is higher that's the problem, which is usually the case, of course, because that's how you got assigned: the stock moved up through your CC's strike. So if the stock is now at 10.50, that's what you have to pay to buy 100 of them, the market rate. And that's where you lose a little bit: you sold the shares for 10, but have to buy them back at 10.50. But don't forget that you got some Premium when you sold the Call, so that helps offset some of that. And a question you didn't quite ask: a 'good' broker won't sell your LEAPS Call (or shares) to cover the assignment. So you still have the long Call, and if you have the extra $50 in your account to buy the shares back (adding to the 1k you got paid), then just do that. **Never EXERCISE a long Call to acquire shares for an assignment.** If you do you lose all the extrinsic value in it, it just goes away. And to your margin call question: they should give you a day or two to settle up. And they should send you an email, as well as a notification when you open the program/website/app. I've even had them call me the next day. So don't worry about assignments. But it's also good practice to not let them happen. I hope that helps, and others with different experiences can chime in. Take care.
Dude bet on U instead of XYZ. 😆 😆 😆
XYZ could be owned by the CEO of beyond meat and I’d still buy at these levels based purely on their revenue and income relative to their market cap.
That Palantir’s products are not really meant for people that can warehouse their own data, analyze it and run LLM layers over it for XYZ output. They pitched my firm on twitter analytics many years ago, it was API plugged into a slick UI. Government contracts here do not signify any “high-level innovation” - Anduril has yet to mass produce. Source: this is literally what I fucking do
The amount of incels that have commented here telling me to buy MSTR and diversify has assured me that I need to double down on my investment. I will be putting another $600,000 into XYZ before FOMC. Stay tuned.
Have you read any books on options? The one I recommend all the time is solid and approachable (it's a pdf): [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 Olmstead of Northwestern University I tell people to just read Chapters 1 through 6, plus Chapter 14, only 58 pages. But you need to add Chapter 7, Assignment Anxiety. That will help you understand what you need to do to avoid assignment. I don't remember if he discusses how assignment works, but it's not a Big Deal. Simplified, here's what happens. Say you got called for 100 shares of XYX at $100. Your account will SELL THEM 100 shares that you don't have, so you just 'shorted' 100 shares. But they PAY YOU $100 per share times 100 shares = $10,000. Now, you won't see that money in your account, but what you WILL see is that your NAV hasn't changed much. (Let's assume XYZ stayed right at 100.) That's because you're short 100 shares, *but you also have the cash you were paid.* So what you do is literally BUY 100 shares of XYZ. BOOM, you're flat. And you still have your long Call. It's scary the first time or 3 it happens to you, but just do that: close that short position. And you do that by buying 100 shares. And no, you couldn't have afforded that before, but you have 10k in your account now. They cancel out. But where you get in trouble is if XYZ rocketed through your strike is now at 110. So you need $11,000 to close the short position now, not 10k, because you have to buy those shares on the open market. Now here's where your long Call could come in, if you don't have an extra 1k in your account. Do NOT **exercise** the Call to get 100 shares. You'll throw away all the extrinsic value in it. Instead, SELL it for whatever it's worth. And BOOM, that might cover the 1k you need. Or you might need to add more cash. But here's the thing: exercising it to buy 100 shares **at 100** (it'll use the 10k you got paid), still leaves you OWING 1k! Sure, you can turn over 100 shares, but those are only worth 100, not 110. Or something like that. Anyway always SELL long Calls, **never** EXERCISE.
Put about $4K in Square (now XYZ) back in early 2021, and lost about half of that.
I would be surprised if a customer service person could just pull up any account on a whim and look at what's going on without a customer giving them info (like a pin sent over the phone), plus their computer activity is all monitored. If someone constantly had XYZ account open every day and that account owner never called in for anything it would raise alot of flags.
I think there's a different mindset of having something done completely for you with no brain power needed and it just telling you what to do and building something out yourself and learning from it. If you want to take the easy, brain dead way and not actually learn the full process of what is going on, then sure. Use AI to tell you what to do. I'm not saying AI isn't a great tool, it's fantastic. But to have it literally just tell you, sell XYZ, etc. That's more of a crutch than helping you.
One Tuesday night after a breakup I went out for sushi. I ordered too much because I wasn’t accustomed to ordering for one. The plates just kept coming. Girls at the hostess stand were looking & laughing. Waitress walks up and is like “I just made some money off you.” -huh? “I bet them that you weren’t going to finish all that.” And immediately follows it up with “you’re going to meet me at XYZ Bar. Thursday 7:30”. -this another bet? “no. Serious” and wrote her number on my receipt. Thursday comes around and I’m there early because it was close to my new place. I was impressed by how assertive she was, plus she was pretty. So why not. She shows up 45 minutes late and tells me to come outside. She just bought a new Jetta and came straight from the dealership. Cool. Great way to set the tone for the evening. Bar is nice. Dim. Like a European train station. She has good taste. Bartender keeps giving her compliments on her looks. Next thing you know she’s having the bartender do body shots off her stomach, and I’m like this isn’t MTV Spring Break. WTF is going on. And she keeps ordering shots and the bartender is going shot for shot with her. I’m passing on it because I have work the next day and don’t want to drive like that even though I’m down the road. It’s apparent that she’s wasted and I offer to get her a ride home. Her car would be fine in the parking lot overnight. She declines. I offer her to crash on my couch or bed and just bring her back on my way to work. “Don’t be ridiculous.” I order her some water and get the enabling bartender to chime in. “She’s fine,” The bartender says. Walking her to her car I point towards my building in a final attempt. “I had fun. Text you when I get home.” Weekend goes by and I don’t hear from her till Sunday night when she called: “Why’d you let me drive?” -are you okay? “I flipped my car, chipped my front teeth, and got arrested. I’m bruised all over.” -did anybody else get hurt? “No. Just me.” -well. Get some rest.
I thought XYZ the zipper company, and yes "everyone has used their products."
Can you do the stock repair strategy on a DITM call that has dropped? For example stock XYZ trading @100 Buy 70 call (90 delta, basically stock substitute) Market drops to 70 Then start a repair strategy. Put on a no cost 75/80 call ratio. Does this have the same effect as lowering your b/e as it would if you put the call ratio on against a long stock position?
1 to 1 correlation between Hurr durr downvote this if XYZ posts, and extreme pathological nano penis syndrome this evening. Downvote if you agree
5k lost today fuck Nvidia and XYZ
TOST is… TOAST…. Says the guy who bought short dated puts in my TOST ER play thread. TOST is a restaurant payment processor values at 20b and XYZ is a financial giant valued at 37bil. TOAST is literally for restaurants. Square is for everyone.
XYZ is a trap. It’s gone nowhere for 3 years. Stuck in a goofy range. I had the same idea last year as OP and yet here we are. I dumped it and broke even.
I think they were asking for a XYZ summon card with a black card frame
It doesn’t have to be all or nothing. I try to simplify it down to basic numbers to do an expected value estimate. I think there is a 25% probability that company XYZ share price will go up 10% and there is a 15% probability that it’ll drop by 5% over the next year. I’m considering investing $10k. My expected value is (.25 x $1000) - (.15 x 500) = $175 is my expected value of the trade or 1.75% return on my $10k Is that worth it to tie up $10k for a year? Probably not. How certain am I of my numbers? If I’m pretty certain then I’m skipping the trade altogether and finding another opportunity or if I can’t then I’m holding cash. If I’m uncertain and I think maybe there’s more upside potential than I am assigning it then I might put some money in and dollar cost average for a bit. You can do this at any point as you get new information. If you’re deciding whether to sell you basically act like your equity is cash and you’re deciding whether to buy. Based on all info you have try to determine the upside and the probability it’ll get there, and the downside and that probability. If your expected value at that point isn’t worth the amount of capital you have tied up then sell some until your equity and expected value are at a comfortable level for you. Hopefully that all makes sense. The hard part of course is assigning the up/down side and probabilities of each. What you described was basically a calculation of 0% upside potential and 100% downside potential, so you allocated $0. Math checks out, but your probabilities were probably a little off.
Tell me more of a shitco portfolio then these companies. $AMZN = WORST STOCK IN THE LAST 5-7 YEARS. $PYPL + $XYZ/$SQ = SHITCOS....
Lmaoo why buy when just 30 days you completely flipped flop on TOST and XYZ? You just admitted that your TOST prediction of $130 by Dec 2026 is bullshit. Why should we take your word on XYZ and it going over $100 next year after that?
Lmaoo so TOST is garbage now? So you completing bullshitted when saying TOST would be over $100 by Dec 2026? If so why should we take this XYZ seriously
Balls if XYZ. Godspeed investor.
False. NVDA had a higher PE ratio 5 years ago than today and yet the stock is up 1,246% in that time period. XYZ is down 70% in the past 5 years. Enjoy holding a zombie company that underperforms though.
And so, your shares will also be the last to go up like the XYZ letters in the alphabet system
Man imagine throwing a milly at a square. Big man - the earth is a circle. CRCL > XYZ
Godspeed to this regard for sure https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=XYZ&p=d I like to see how insiders are trading and all I see is sales
This will be 2.5million December 2026, and then I will exit and do it again if I find a stock with as much conviction as XYZ.
I spent a long time in this industry and know XYZ very well. Here's the bear case. 1. Jack is a nutbag. 2. They spent a ton of money buying a streaming music service (Tidal) so that Jack could hang out with Jay-Z and the shareholders sued. The quote from the judge was hilarious. \> “A board comprised of a majority of disinterested and independent directors is **free to make a terrible business decision** … without any meaningful threat of liability, so long as the directors approve the action in good faith.” [https://www.reuters.com/legal/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-over-blocks-terrible-purchase-jay-zs-tidal-2023-05-09/](https://www.reuters.com/legal/judge-dismisses-lawsuit-over-blocks-terrible-purchase-jay-zs-tidal-2023-05-09/) 3. They threw a shit ton of their stock at the Afterpay acquisition which led to massive shareholder dilution and left them holding a giant bag of BNPL loans serving mostly sub-prime customers going into a recessionary environment. There are unqualified borrowers, they had until this year no ability to report these loans on credit reports, 41% of BNPL borrowers pay late as-is, and you can't repossess a pair of socks. 4. Their core business, taking margin on merchant transactions, is mostly lucrative in (a) the US and a select handful of other unregulated interchange markets (b) pretty much capped out in terms of growth and (c) all the profit is at the long tail anyways. They are growing top-line by serving larger companies which gooses their payment volume **without** contributing to transaction margin because the big guys have all the leverage. 5. They were unable to build a competitor to Stripe for online payments that saw any traction. 6. They have had a very tough time growing Cash app. 7. They ideologically waste money on BTC mining initiatives that are chronically unprofitable. They're a good business for what they are, but the growth story is dead. I know a bunch of baggies so I hope I'm wrong but you're delusional if you think it's going to $180 in the next 6 months.
XYZ is gonna rock and shock the nation. let's go
Why would you buy XYZ when consumer economy is down and it's not at the bottom yet...
Someone needs to make a XYZ yugioh card about OP
How are they even remotely similar technically, fundamentally, or catalyst-wise? I’m with you that XYZ is a good lt investment but comparing the two companies is wild
I start with the last recorded trade price on the option if that price will net at least the 1%. That's the initial screen. A lot of times, that last trade price is kind of bogus and may net 3 or 4 percent even. But it's a good floor and I roll up from there. I'm not sure what you mean by "size." I just care about the RoC, even if it's small dollars. I always take commission into account. Example: \- XYZ corp market price is $10 \- I can sell a call and get $1.10 in premium for a strike price of $9. \- I buy 100 shares, pay $1,000 and collect $110 in premium. \- On strike, I sell for $900, so my net profit is $10 or 1%. That's a small bit of money but if it's guaranteed and I can replicate it a dozen times (or a few dozen in a week) then I'm happy.
well it depends ------ how much debt are they carrying .................... if a company , no matter the size has zero debt , then it wont help them in that respect. but --- it could also allow them to borrower in better conditions for doing XYZ OR ---- allow their customer base to buy at better pricing depending on the business :, cars, homes, major purchase items etc OR --- lowers peoples monthly expense allowing them to spend more ( assuming they can refi everything they have and get materially better rate / deal it is not all or nothing clear cut , but it also that magical or assured of a thing either -------------- if rates are low or too low, why would i want to lend you money , that kind of thing OR an even better thought , if US bond rates are too low , who would want to tie up money for a long time given US Debt load already , ask BAC about that one :D
I constantly give Gemini and GPT random tasks just slightly above "summarize three paragraphs into one" and it is staggeringly bad how it just lies to your face. Recent example: "My solution of chemical CAS: XYZ is not freezing at -70C any suggestions to to why?" Reasonable answer(s): - It isn't the chemical you think it is. - There are impurities or contaminants - Your probe/equipment is wrong (not -70C) What did they do? Tell me thats completely normal because -70 is a smaller number than the -50 it freezes at, gave me a fake graph showing this phenomenon and said everything checks out because thats following THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. Meanwhile tech CEOs out here saying these things are getting to "PhD Responses". Bruh it literally didn't catch which side of the freezing point it was on, and then made up the backstory to why this all makes sense. I have so fucking many examples. Literally trying to see what it can do that isn't creative (no real answer to be bound to) or summarization; and it fucking sucks everytime. WTF
Anyone know of a website or a way to track large purchases from financial companies? I looked it up and you can scan SEC documents but shit is a foreign language... BKNG is up over 5% (over $200) today and there's no news except for the fact that around 10-12 big money firms bought a ton of shares this morning. Wondering if there is some way to scan for large purchases by multiple financial companies for one stock, so you'd get an alert saying 10 companies bought 10,000 shares of XYZ at market open.
Any news on why XYZ just nosedived?
Lmaoo why is Block (XYZ) going down suddenly now?
It's not a disconnect. Price quotes on Etrade, and all other brokers for that matter, use the **mark**, which is the midpoint of the bid/ask spread. The mark is **arbitrary**, it's just the average. It doesn't really say anything about the actual value of the contract. It's a wild-ass guess that is often wrong. What was the bid/ask spread at the time you saw the high premium quote? I bet it was wide. The wider the spread, the more ridiculous the mark will be. Suppose XYZ stock is at $100 and you looking at a deep OTM call at the $200 strike. The bid/ask spread is $0.05/$1.05. Such a wide spread will quote a price of $0.55. If you try to sell to open at that price, you will not get filled. You won't get filled at $0.50 either, or $0.45, or $0.40. Maybe you'll get filled at $0.10. **When the mark is far from the bid, your chance of filling a Sell To Open at the mark is close to zero.** **When the mark is far from the ask, your chance of fill a Buy To Open at the mark is close to zero.** Why do brokers use the mark if it can be so inaccurate? What else can they do? Any number you pick on the spread, or the last price, is going to be inaccurate in price or time. **As a trader, you should consider the entire bid/ask spread when evaluating a trade. No single number is going to give you an accurate price.**
I love how every new technology brings out people who are experts in XYZ because they watched a couple of YouTube videos, and now feel they need to espouse bullshit in the comments on every post.
That’s what I did with a bunch of music gear like 15 years ago when I used to be dumb. I’m still dumb, but I used to be dumb too. Once it goes to collections just challenge the debt. I never agreed to anything with company XYZ who now owns my debt. lol suckers.
I have several friends who are into stocks. They only want to talk about what they bought, what they “believe in”, how they made so much money on XYZ. These aren’t very fun discussions as they are pretty much one way dialogs. So far I have never met someone who is (1) really into stocks, and (2) also into other peoples’ opinions.
Perhaps some of more experienced guys will answer. Try asking AI, it might be surprisingly helpful. The problem is that options of NVDA/AMD/etc are relatively expensive. If you are going to hedge with those expensive options, it might eat a lot of your profit. The best approach, imo, is: \- find most correlated (not that its easy with a private company) \- Cheapest priced options (relatively speaking) \- Stock that is high up (cheaper to buy deeper strikes) Regarding correlation, think how much your company will bleed and who will bleed equally or more if bubble burst? What the reason it might pop? Top of my mind is PLTR, ORCL (especially from their heights). Cheapest priced options - you want them to be ITM when bubble burst. Kind of, so you buy them at 0.01, but they still end up in the money. Best "value for money" move. But the most risky, of course. Anyhow, if you estimate stocks XYZ and WYZ will drop 50%, which one offer cheapest options for that drop? Last, getting PLTR 170 strike 6 months out is way cheaper when PLTR is at 205, than when it's at 170. So its worth taking a look at where are stocks now, do some TA. You can always diversify as well across 2-4-10 companies. Diversification is "always" good.
I appreciate that i grew up in a generation where anti-establishment counter culture was huge... 10yrs later im still all about "fuck the govt" Noticed institutions and ideology driven groups are all about "we need to govt to step in and do XYZ" Hope the future generations keep up the "fuck the gov't" and "fuck the establishment" counter culture. Just rambling while listening to my fave 2000s punk rock music
GOOG shares, IBIT LEAPS, XYZ LEAPS. This is the way, young degens.
Tech hiring is so retarded. You can have 20 years of experience and success and they grill you on NewTech XYZ. It's like not hiring a mechanic who has worked on 20 different brands for 20 years because he hasn't touched a specific model of Mercedes yet.
*why is XYZ down so much 😭😭* Gee whiz you mean 5% days can only happen to the UPSIDE? #bubbleTalk 🤣
Any opinions on Block (XYZ) here?
My worst performers all time are XYZ and PCG and O
I’ll answer for the guy because he probably doesn’t actually understand why. It just sounds like a good strategy to people who don’t know any better. It’s classic social media noob bait. You are capping your upside while leaving yourself exposed to serious downside. To get the “2 percent a month” returns these posts talk about, you need high volatility tickers to juice the premium. And high volatility means the stock moves hard in both directions. So here’s what happens: Stock XYZ is at 100. You sell a 90 put for 1.80 to collect your 2 percent. Sounds great. Then XYZ drops to 85. You get assigned at 90 and your cost basis becomes 88.20. You are already underwater. Good start. Now you sell a 100 covered call for 2 to grab another 2 percent. But the stock rallies to 115. Your shares get called away at 100 and after premiums your total gain is 13.80 (102 minus 88.20). Meanwhile the guy who just bought 100 shares at 100 when you sold that first put is up 15 with no capped upside and no forced short term capital gains. Your version creates taxes, limits your return, and adds downside risk while giving you the illusion of steady income. Now if the stock rips to oblivion you’re never assigned at all, your puts just keep expiring worthless and you get pennies while shareholders make fortunes. It is the singlehanded most noob strategy out there that is just popular for “options income” charlatans to push on unsuspecting “investors”. There are legitimate vol trading strategies but the wheel Strat is not one of them
Yes, some, perhaps most CDs, pay less interest than treasuries. That is certainly the case if you open a CD account with a big bank. But brokered CDs usually pay slightly better than similar term treasuries. Since CDs are subject to state income tax (and treasuries are not) it may be a wash. Of course if you live where there is no state income tax, CDs will be the better choice if you hold to maturity. Brokered CDs don't have early withdraw penalties but if you sell before maturity you will just get back what the market will bear. That means a potential loss or gain. Some brokered CDs are callable. So look closely before purchasing. I've seen while you couldn't get better than a 2% rate on a 1-yr CD from Big Bank XYZ if you tried to purchased directly, you could get a 3.6% rate on a 1-yr CD from Big Bank XYZ if you bought it brokered into Fidelity Brokerage account. Many additional brokerages (Schwab and Vanguard for sure) allow you to purchase brokered CDs using the same account that you buy/sell stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds. Don't expect your brokerage to have access to every swinging CD out there. But for 1 and 2 yr CDs there will be many choices.
Ah nice, ZETA looks interesting, I’ll check it out 👍 I was too tempted, but I wish I hadn’t FOMO’d into a few stocks last month, ah well. I did the same thing back in 2022 with UPST and XYZ. I’ve kept them visible in my portfolio as a reminder not to let myself fall for it again…
It's funny because all the past-the-post retards that will laugh at you for "XYZ wasn't enough?" say that only because they've never been in that position where you're up so high because you held through conviction. The only part they get right now is that the same determination to hold is what kills you in the end as well. Hard to have the balls to hold for so long to forget that the objective is to eventually exit. Sorry for the loss, had a rough go of it in the past month as well, good luck to the both of us in the future.
Stocks XYZ could be the next gme? The answer is always no
10% projected revenue growth for next year is decent: [https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XYZ/analysis/](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XYZ/analysis/)
I'd be shorting the shit out of TSLA and XYZ. Tons of their reported value is in crypto, and primarily BTC.
SE and XYZ stock went through almost -90% drawdown until 2023 from the peak of 2021. haven't recovered back to previous high yet but at least they somewhat recover until recently
My little lone soldiers RIVN and XYZ green
Thinking calls on XYZ new guidance is bigly bullish
What’s with the XYZ pump?
Almost bought XYZ calls too. O well
Jack Dorsey finally doing something Don’t sleep on XYZ lmao
XYZ going vertical why? Lol
I regularly sort positions by gain with biggest losers at the top of the list and dump those first. It would be more effective to do this by individual lot, but I hold such a large qty of positions that's just too unwieldy. I keep records of what got sold on which date in order to avoid wash sales. I also make appointments in my trading records to "rebuy XYZ on 3/4/26" if I dump something I believe in longer term just to take the taxloss. On partial sales I always sell the lot with the highest cost basis.
XYZ about to go crazy 🚀
Can someone explain my XYZ shares to me, it lost its exchange.
Block $XYZ Projects Multi-Year Growth with $15.8B Gross Profit Target by 2028 and $5B Buyback Boost** - Annual gross profit growth target: Mid-teens - Adjusted operating income forecast: $4.6B, approx. 30% annual growth - Increased share buyback program by $5B
What’s going on with XYZ?
Anyone know why XYZ is halted
XYZ halted due to pending news 👀
#TLDR --- **Ticker:** $XYZ **Direction:** Up **Prognosis:** Company's future income could make it undervalued. **Strategy:** Buy shares.
Yeah I'm from another developing country and pretty much every "XYZ company is firing people" results in my LinkedIn job alerts getting triggered with that company hiring here.
You know that DEI isn't a strict "we need to hire more XYZ people to fill our quota". It's a commitment to hiring a diverse background of people and making sure they feel equal and included.
It honestly is though. If you speak to minority and/or LGBT persons, they still have grudges with Target and that spreads to their families and friends. I'm in that exact demographic and still get shit from people when I mentioned I got XYZ from Target, lol. Target getting run down as fuck is a big problem too and why they've been pulling out of certain locations and moving to higher income areas where that's not as much of an issue.
