XYZ

PapaCharlie9

Okay, so first the good news. You have a [trade plan](https://www.reddit.com/r/options/wiki/faq/pages/mondayschool/yourplan) and an exit strategy. By doing so, you are ahead of about 99% of new traders at the same point in their careers. Now for the bad news. I don't understand what your scanner is supposed to do. It looks partly like what a **stock** trader would want and partly what an **option** trader would want. Metrics like Last Price (of the shares, I presume), Volume (again shares), and market cap might make sense for stock trading, but are close to useless for option trading. Typical option-trading scans focus on volatility, volatility, and volatility. Maybe some contract price history for momentum analysis, maybe contract volume and/or contract bid/ask spread for liquidity ranking. Drawing lines on a price chart is Technical Analysis. Just keep in mind that your analysis is on the *stock price history*, not the contract price history. It's already questionable to use TA to predict the future of a stock price, but to use TA on a stock price to predict the future of a contract price is pretty much sheer fantasy. Consequently, your take-profit and stop-loss settings for the option trade could end up doing the opposite of what you intend. It's a common occurrence when trading calls for the call's price to go down even when the stock price goes up. So you could hit your take-profit stock price and end up losing money on the contract trade. It's better to base all automation and conditions on contract prices. Gross level triggers, like I don't even want to enter the contract trade until XYZ stock price is above some dollar value, are fine, but once the contract itself is in play, all conditions should be based on the contract price, not the stock price.

It certainly isn’t an edge when all the information it parses is public and widely available. It’s a good thought buddy for something like “What’s the forward P/E on this thing now compared to the industry average and how did that compare to the years leading up to XYZ?”. One could Google that info, but AI will compile or summarize it more quickly. The most helpful case for an average dude would be something like “I’ve never coded a Monte Carlo simulation. Can you tell me how that works and provide some sample code I can modify for my own purposes”. TLDR: It saves time for things we all could have figured out already. That allows for a little more output and the ability to make decisions a bit faster.

At some point in 2021, fintechs were all the rage. PYPL and SQ (now XYZ) reached $300, AFRM was $170, even shitcos like UPST reached $400. Fin media was foaming at the mouth for the great future that awaits. Analysts were coming out with upgrades and new PTs every week. The future was fintech, some even doubted banks and Visa/Mastercard would survive. This is what awaits these sham and endlessly pumped quantum and space companies.

When I point out that XYZ is a "threshold stock", it actually means something.  I feel pretty good saying that everyone saw my multiple multiple warnings.

Poptart_Salad

So much fence sitting. Every time anything happened they had to wait six months before acting because "we don't know how it will affect XYZ". Oh and committed to 2% but it's been 5 years since 2% so not really. Dude didn't even pump the market, his meetings sucked.

rpv123

I think it partly comes from people being very used to sitting in a large group of people and being the only one who can see the right solution, right away, but others refuse to see it your way until much later on in a discussion or process. If you experience that enough since childhood, you start to believe that you are truly the only one who “understands” most things more quickly and develop a certain level of arrogance, so when everyone around you is like “no, you’re nuts for thinking XYZ” you’re more likely to just ignore that as people just not catching up as quickly as you. It warps you a bit.

All due respect to Elon he’s accomplished some cool shit and made some awesome stuff… but I agree he’s always said we’re gonna do XYZ by year 202X, and it never really happens… pretty sure space x said they’re going to start colonizing mars in 30 years with 1mm + people… I don’t see it… and even If we made it… who says there’s any chance that’s a profitable business model… I’d see it as more of a publicly traded VC firm to fund rocket building… maybe to acquires Twitter and other businesses along the way.

There's no doubt Musk is an incredible pitch man, and I don't mean that in a snake oil way - he says "fuck it, free your mind, ignore your predisposed thoughts on XYZ" and great at selling the dream. That's a great quality. The question is whether he has enough in the pipeline of dreams and deliverables to keep his shareholders believing. There's a lot that's been "soon" and he knows investor psychology well enough to keep people in a state of anticipation and FOMO. The question is how much patience people will have, and whether there will be so much bag holding/sunk cost that devotees will hang on until it's painfully obvious it's going nowhere (if that's the case). Bitcoin is actually pretty close to this in mentality (not the viability/instrument/etc.). "If it happens, I was there from the beginning or when it was worth X, I don't want to miss out on the runup, I don't want to be left behind". Bitcoin may be worth a shit ton. Or it may be worth zero at some point. The path is plausible enough to keep people engaged and buying. As they said, this is a bet on Musk, nothing more. If Musk is gone it'll still be viable but the premium won't be justified. My current rough thesis is he talks up a big game, but the actual deliverables haven't lived up to the hype. The Loop thing in Vegas? Dogshit. Autonomous vehicles? Nope. Robotaxi? "Soon". Cybertruck? Bust. Reusable rockets? Win. Tesla/EVs/Charging network? Win, but fading. Twitter/X? Dogshit. DOGE? Dogeshit. The valuation is based on him knocking things out of the park but his batting average is .700 one year and .125 the next.

I just did a deeper dive. It's not even an actual peace deal. It is just a MOU of what they are tentatively agreeing to discuss for a future deal. Nothing is guaranteed, including the nuclear material. It literally just says they agree to work on an agreement to remove nuclear material So that's it folks. It's a MOU (memorandum of understanding) where they are agreeing to work on an agreement for XYZ. And Iran did not say they are allowing 100% free pass-through in the Strait of Hormuz, ie a return to what it was pre February. Iran is saying they are still collecting "maintenance fees" to assist in rebuilding the infrastructure damaged during the strikes. So in summary - we are worse off than the deal Obama signed... 13 service members were killed, 400+ wounded, half of our arsenals depleted, a carrier had to be taken out of service, 50+ aircraft lost including some which are irresplaceable since they are no longer made anymore

So what you're saying is XYZ is bubble is fine and eventually becomings the most important business model of that decade?

gigio123456789

I mean at this point surely not a single person on earth still believes this guy's constant lies about XYZ being just around the corner right? Self driving cars you can sleep in, robotaxis, colonies on moon or Mars, data centers in space. All have always and will always be “two to five years out” with this guy. So is the fact that his trash companies' stock is so highly valued just a self fulfilling prophecy at this point? Like we all think the SpaceX stock will moon because it’s him, so we all buy, so the stock moons?

DrElkSnout

market is going to close and then: "Deal is OFF. Iran is doing XYZ! Bombings to resume soon!"

Retired-Programmer

It doesn't seem like there is clear answer to this. But let me give you my experience and my thoughts because I accidentally did this once. I sold stock XYZ for a loss call it lot A1 in taxable brokerage A for a loss. A few weeks later I (not thinking) bought the stock at brokerage B which was in a IRA account call it Lot B. Later that afternoon I realized what I had done and figured the best way to deal with this is to buy the stock back again in the taxable brokerage A account and call it Lot A2. This way brokerage A would automatically in the 1099s flag the Lot A1 loss as a Disallowed Loss and tie to Lot A2. Then I waited 31 days and sold Lot A2 so that brokerage A would automatically adjust the Cost Basis of Lot A2 to capture the loss in the 1099. So I added some risk to myself by having double the amount of shares that I desired for 31 days, but felt by having the Disallowed Loss/Cost Basis adjustment done automatically in the 1099s by the brokerage it would hopefully not alert/flag the IRS. I would assume it could be possible the IRS could audit my return and if it is determined that the replacement shares are chosen by First shares rebought (the Lot B in the IRA account) then it could be a problem. But I am not even sure there is a way to tell which was bought first (Lot B or Lot A2) because they were both bought on the same day (confirmations at Schwab at least don't have times, just dates). I did this in 2025 and have not had a problem with it.

Channel2TheDeuce

Hrrrm it's somehow still too bullish in here...we haven't even seen the bears dancing gif posted yet. Usually by this time we're hearing about how this is basically the end of the US and people are bragging about being all cash in their 401k because they just knew it was the top when they saw XYZ happen.

pegasusCK

On the money google (strike at the current price its at or as close to as possible) 1 week out. thats what you want. If you have fidelity or something else if youre not going to do it.... google how to paper trade (make a simulated option call) and do it so u can see what happens and practice. Just google how to papertrade an option on XYZ (repalce with your broker, robinhood fidelity etc whatever)

Once again redditors will lecture us about a company led by white supremacists, supported by XYZ bigots, but won't lift a finger to do anything besides the occasional No Kings protest followed by brunch afterwards...

Frequent-Felcher

Share price literally doesn't matter anymore, most brokerage allows you to buy fractional shares. Let's do an example, you buy 10 shares of XYZ for $5 each. You also buy 1 share of ABC for $50. Both companies go up 100% - you still have $100 either way. If you're interested in learning about investing, there are plenty of free resources out there. You look at things like earnings, peer valuations, and market cap. The market cap is the share price multipled by outstanding shares- it's the second part of that equation that you're missing. And yes, large cap companies tend have to lower growth potential because they're already huge, but you have to actually look at the value of the companies. Share price is irrelevant and only a psychological factor for uninformed retail investors.

Mr3iron

Ive been stock heavy - because I love doing it and have been doing it now 19 years.  However - I’m now forcing myself to go heavier into ETFs like (VOO / VTI / VT / SCHG / QQQM / VGT).  I’ve had some huge winners - which are awesome - but I’ve also had some boneheaded losses - such as PTON, CMG, and XYZ. They all trapped money away until I just gave up and ate the loss.  It’s OK to buy and hold stocks - but be careful on exposure. For me - it’s all “extra money” - rather than buy lunch or that item on Amazon - I use that money for stocks.  However - all my weekly/monthly automated investments are ETFs. If I can squeeze in stocks - great - sometimes it doesn’t work that way. 

Swagastan

Stock XYZ IPOs and I buy a share for $100, then sell it to you a year later for $1000, next year you sell it to Bob for $2000. Today the stock is trading at $3000. Who lost money? A zero sum game would be if the value of all stocks was fixed, but the value of the stock market, or an index, etc. is largely always going up and to the right.

zed_roaster

Just read through the structure and flow. You'll notice it's a lot of words for not much substance. People also don't speak like this, have you not noticed many more of these type of "no one is doing XYZ" and "here is what everyone missed" posts on Reddit? Other examples" "The real signal", "here's what nobody is talking about", "what i actually found". There's so many phrases in here that are AI generated. The prompt seemed to he requested to remove em dashes and make it sound punchier. Hence the "2026, not 2027. 2028." One more point: the AI misread it, if no one was talking about this stuff, they wouldn't know this information. Everything pretty much that was said after the "here is what no one is talking about" has been extensively brought up on reddit or news. For example, the MRVL comment, I mean MRVL literally jumped 30% or something cause if it. How is that something no one is talking about? Same with the other announcements. It's shallow analysis, if you go to any AI tool and prompt it similarly, you'll get a similar analysis.

halffocused

More people employed = more people with money to spend on XYZ = inflationary pressure. that's the orthodox view and the widely accepted belief which makes it true. you are retarded and need to open your mind to the idea you have things to learn.

Interesting_Treat92

XYZ is shifting their business model to leverage AI and sell graded Pokémon slabs.

FinCosmos

I'd be careful. I use LLMs extensively, but I'd be hesitant to let them drive actual options decisions without significant oversight. Most of the value I've gotten has been from accelerating research rather than generating trades. They're great for summarizing filings, comparing earnings calls, stress-testing a thesis, or helping organize your thinking. Where people get into trouble is when they start asking ChatGPT or Claude whether they should sell a strangle or buy calls on XYZ... What I've been reading more about recently is the governance problem. As AI gets better, the challenge becomes less "can it generate ideas?' and more "how do you structure, supervise, validate, and audit AI-assisted research processes?" If you're just prompting Claude and trusting whatever comes back, you may be playing a more dangerous game than you think tbh. Ironically, I think the biggest opportunity right now may be in AI architecture and governance rather than trying to extract alpha directly from an LLM. There are even finance-specific programs starting to focus on that area (e.g. CFIA, Certified Financial Intelligence Analyst) etc. So it's a reflection that we may be opening a pandora's box we don't know how to deal with yet. For now, I'd trust AI to help me analyze an options trade. I wouldn't trust it to decide whether to put the trade on.

MambaOut330824

I’ve long envisioned a speech to XYZ system, but screens still play a role in this. The benefit of this tech is that the user is no longer locked into a static task. The user’s attention and actions are no longer hijacked by these tasks. We can multitask or at least be more mobile or multifaceted while accomplishing tasks. Again, there still needs to be a visual element to this and I don’t ever see that going away

Are you selling your AMD or holding on to It? Also curious about $XYZ and what you plan to do with it? - Garbage stock and I have as well.

TheKnightIsForPlebs

Your argument wasn’t “if it stays a net buyer then XYZ” Your entire post before this was “it WILL be a net buyer” how do you know this will be the future? Obviously if it remains a net buyer it’s fine. Obviously if it goes bad and liquidates it’s not fine. Nobody knows what the future holds though and that is why the price on these options for calls AND puts are crazy expensive. Your conviction is weird. Your post here reeks of chat gpt btw

Wild_Space

I think it's important to remember that when the stock market's value goes up by $1 trillion, it doesnt actually mean that $1 trillion got pumped into the stock market. Let's use a single company as an example. Say XYZ corp has 1 million shares that are quoted at $1. That comes out to a $1 million market cap. (You may need a calculator for this 😄 ) Now say someone comes along and buys a single share of XYZ corp for $2. That single trade will change the quoted price from $1 to $2. So now XYZ corp is worth $2 million. So even though only an additional dollar was pumped into the stock, the market cap went up by $1 million. This is an extreme example to illustrate how the stock market works. Let's use a more realistic example. Say MSFT has 7.43 billion shares outstanding. But their average trading volume is only about 33 million. Today's volume was higher, about 47 million shares. So on any given day, less that 0.5% of shares actually change hands. But that 0.5% is wagging the dog, so to speak. Today's closing price of 426.99 is a decent proxy for what ppl were willing to pay for through out the day. The price started at $413.09. That's a $13.90 price increase. Over 7.43 billion shares, the market cap went up $103 billion (7.43B shares x $13.90) . But only about $653 million actually changed hands. (47m shares x $13.90) Does this make sense? So there's about a 200:1 amplification effect. So when the market goes up by $1 trillion, it's really just from about $5 billion in new money. If my math is correct.

InTroubleDouble

I love that these „due diligences“ never ever include the most important metric of investing: value. They always only talk about the next big thing, but completely ignore if the market cap is 500mn, 5bn or 5 trillion. Yeah, noone doubts it is important and a bottleneck, but that does not generate infinite 100% a month. But you can never know if you say every month „demand is still high for XYZ“ without taking into account value. If you would translate into a lemonade shop everyone would understand. Lemonade stand makes 100k a year, you would pay half a million for it. Demand rises, it can make 150k next year or even 200k in 2030, you might even pay a million or more for it. For 22 Million everyone would understand it is a horrible investment, that thing will never make your money back even when lemonade stays en vogue and is the drink to go. Currently there is many of such lemonade stands trading for dozens of millions. There is currently endless of absolute shitstain companies (and some of them will succeed) without revenues and 50-100 p/e ratios and while some will sustain, Most will not.

Phuffu

Some of these software companies are really cheap. Sure some may go to zero due to AI, but I’m confident that others will effectively utilize AI to bolster their product offering. In 10 years people will look back and say “man I can’t believe XYZ stock was so cheap”  Which stocks? I’m not sure. But hey if you pick 4 and even 1 does well it’ll prob be worth it.

Saurabh_yadav909

Theta and IV aren't bugs, they're literal cost of convexity. You're paying rent for asymmetric upside. Perps sidestep that entirely, you get leverage without time decay eating you. I traded stock perps through markets XYZ when I wanted directional exposure without expiration pressure. Funding rates replace theta basically

papakong88

The trader has 10K in cash, buys 200 XYZ for 20K. He now has a margin loan of 10K. Assume the maintenance margin is 30% for XYZ, so XYZ will have 14 K in buying power (BP). But he has a loan of 10 K, so the account will have a net BP of 4K. Assume he is approved to sell naked puts. Each 100 put will require around 1.5K in BP, so he can sell 2 puts. (Brokers may require more or less BP.) Therefore, he has enough BP to sell the puts but he does not have the BP to meet an assignment. (His broker may liquidate his puts on expiration day if they may expire ITM.) The premium from the put may reduce his loan (again depends on the broker.)

Mr60SPX

Most brokers give you an options buying power, and a stock buying power. Deposit: $10,000 Options buying power: $10,000 Stock buying power: $20,000 >Now, let's say that our trader sold 2 100 XYZ puts for $200 each. Stop right there. If you have $10,000 in the account, the broker is only going to let you sell 1 put at $100 strike. It’s going to subtract the full cost of the cash secured put from your options buying power, which is at $10,000. You now have $10,200 in cash with $200 buying power for options and $400 for stock. If you use above $200 for stock you start a margin loan and pay interest.

Basically what was said below by /u/safemargins. They don't "front load" trades on information - but are able to react faster than anyone literally not in the middle of it and get ALL the information. Walk out in the middle of the night and see a light frost in your backyard - you know thats going to affect the harvest and quality. They see all the industry crop reports (which are available to public with work) and all the distilled information from them - so while I would need to search out individual countries and growing regions (or even specific farms) within that country they have all he information ready to go. And as part of their job they write global crop summaries for people like me. Finally, they are at trade shows, meetings, whatnot. They hear rumors, see who is meeting with who, hear what large sourcing requests are out there, etc... "Oh, I heard XYZ company is trying to launch a new natural juice line and is talking to ABC. " These are just some of the things that immediately came to mind and I've witnessed myself. I'm sure there are a lot of other ways it goes thru legally.

DoinIt4DaShorteez

Less volatility and lower potential drawdowns in bad market conditions. Possibly more current income from dividends. Also for dividend payers, a certain yield % will often put a floor under the price. Stock XYZ, everybody recognizes it as a solid company with steady earnings. If it, or its sector is out of favor at the moment, when the price goes down enough so that the div yield is 5% (or whatever), buyers will step in.

floo82

Yep. It doesn't take $100 billion to move stock XYZ from $100 a share to $200 a share. It takes $200.

Stavkot23

It's possible that what you're saying is right but that the purchasing power of your portfolio still decreases. Maybe $100 in XYZ goes to $500 in a few years but what good will it do if $500 isn't enough to buy you a single pizza?

CheapCheesecake444

Much of it for me is TA, Option Flows, and previous moves ( I am speaking specifically on a play during earnings season). Which I'll use as an example here. 1st thing I do is look at the Implied Move/Volatility ( IV). Then from there , I'll determine the strikes (ex. If XYZ IV is $10%, then write down the upper and lower ranges). Once I have those I'll start to calculate my Max Gains and Max Loss for my spreads. It's all math, not difficult to calculate even for a retard like myself. Then I see how much it would cost on various strikes and spreads. If the IV is more than 10%, then I'll spend the $$ for both Call Spreads and Put Spreads to hedge if I'm wrong. Again, I'm purely speaking for an earnings play where there's a definitive (binary)event that will play out. With normal non event plays, I'll do the same exercise and usually don't spend the extra money to hedge. To conclude: just work out the math and put on the trades, that's how I've learned throughout the years. There's really no hard formula unless you're at a quant firm (Jane Street) and have the tools to run simulations. Delta traders have these tools and they print money all day for their prop desk.

CheapCheesecake444

Ideally, if you're able to get approved for "LEVEL 3" Option Trading, that would help you offset the cost of your long leg. Ex. Long 10 Calls of XYZ vs. Short 20 Calls of XYZ That help reduce the long $$, you'll be partially naked but you'll still Long and just manage your position accordingly. Just know it may require more capital to get LEVEL 3 depending on your brokerage.

Nim0y

The war and insane leadership. That being said, I think people are still stuck in the traditional stock market mindset. Stock XYZ gained 20%, time to take profits. They are failing to see that tech hardware is in such demand that earnings are growing at crazy rates. No one knows what’s going on, I’m just riding the wave. Equal chances it’s a bubble or the next Industrial Revolution. I’m not sitting out, if AI capex stops the US economy and stock market will crash and it won’t matter what sector you are in.

Ok_Computer1417

True about the media, but it’s worth noting those gains are largely just routine price action and the only real “newsworthy” event tied to them are usually earnings reports which a good 70%+ of Americans could probably barely describe in function - if at all. Market drops (though not always) are usually an aftershock of a larger political or economic event that is in itself a news story. Which is why we often hear “The DOW drop 2 points after “XYZ” was reported.” I’d also argue that people that consume traditional well reported media do get plenty of market reports and individual sector/company coverage, but the number of people who actively seek out and consume that coverage is now minuscule.

PaperHandsTheDip

\> I debated replying, because I didn't want to make you feel bad, but honestly this simply means that you're not good at what you do. That's the harsh truth. I strongly disagree - it means that I've gotten good with the tools. Writing code out by hand has always been the tedious part of the job (taking 100x longer than the logic / planning part). The design patterns chosen, approach to take, fault tolerance of the system, etc have always been more important. Think - the engineering manager / organizing 10 engineers vs the guy implementing it. I've worked at both Google & Microsoft and was on my schools competitive programming team. I currently work build ULL HFT systems - often considered an incredibly difficult part of software. \--- Look at the agents and what they are capable of. If you remember last month there was a giant fuss about just how good they are at finding vulnerabilities (see: mythos chatter). That's an insanely powerful tool if used correctly. It means that the programs can now find vulnerabilities / bugs in your program better than most people. So... use it for that. \> But I suspect you won't be offended by any of this anyway, because the people like yourself who have drunk the kool-aid on AI generated code never seem to mind. I guess if you did mind, you wouldn't be in this position in the first place. The position of seeing the AI tools as supernaturally brilliant, rather than seeing yourself as inadequate at what you do. Not offended at all. I'm noticing a huge divide among my peers. Those that can critically think and utilize the tools are excelling. Those who cannot are getting left behind. \> I.e. Can Claude generate code *faster* than people? Sure. But it goes back to what other people have been telling you, that a higher rate of lines of code being generated is not a good thing Then tell it to reduce / collapse / optimize it. As I mentioned I'm using it for ULL HFT right now. We measure every nanosecond / cpu operation. They're among the most efficient trading systems in the world. It can do that too! You don't need to do it by hand. Like all engineering. Make it work, make it clean, make it fast. Do that in a (3) step process. So... 3 different agents. Each one better at its individual task than a person is. \> the amount of context that can be handled at once is still limited, EXACTLY! So - you need to deal with it / work around the constraints. Just like working on a team - there may be team XYZ managing feature ABC. I don't know anything about it, I just trust that team is implementing the feature correctly. That's all the context I need about it, I don't need to know how it was implemented, etc. That's the same way current orgs work. So - use the agents in the same way. Get them to blindly trust the API and believe that it is correct. Then - get it to investigate the data to ensure it matches what it should. If it breaks - then get another agent to investigate the feature. This is the same thing as going to the other team and saying "hey, your stuff is broken. Please fix it". Except now that step can be done instantly / via agents. \> If you just have agents pumping 5000 lines of code per day into projects, that aren't even being checked by anyone (that's what you, a human with 20 years of experience, is supposed to be for) The experience is for knowing how to approach problems / design systems. I know that there are common design patterns / ins&outs of various languages / hardware, problems to be solved, etc. I know how I approach them - so I get a set of agents to do the same. They're at the point that individually they're better at any given task than people BUT they don't understand the managing part very well (really at all). So - you need to do that for them / direct them to that. Tell them "hey - implement it. Step 1. Then (Step 2) - clean it up. Step 3 - Tests everywhere. Step 4 - optimization path. Step 5 - security review. Etc. You'll get 5 different agents spun up for that task - each performing at superhuman levels. If you don't tell it to do steps 2, 3, 4 & 5 - that's how you get spaghetti.

There’s prob over a million stories like this. On the other side of it are the millions of times where someone went heavy into XYZ stock that did nothing or tanked, but you never hear about those. 

SirGlass

Exactly I feel like each time this comes up people arguing for the value of dividends bring up some theoretical example of two stocks in a down market , ABC and XYZ . They then give ABC (stock with no dividends) a 20% return and XYZ a 25% (Stock paying dividends) return and say "See the math works out" Well yea two stocks that have different returns have different returns nothing shocking here. A stock that has a 25% return is better than a stock with a 20% return?

SirGlass

The number of shares are irrelevant Are you telling me its better to own 1000 shares of ABC at $10 vs 10 shares of XYZ at $1000 a share? Is it better to own 10 dimes vs $1 ?

Jerikolol

How did that other guy used to say? Bought XYZ at N price, sold at N+2$ and took profit. lol

Identify the source(s) of edge that drive profitability and size your trades properly. Blowing up your account multiple times over 10 years indicates one or both of those is missing.   You should be able to articulate why your trades should be profitable in aggregate. This usually comes down to some form of doing something others are unable/unwilling to do or identifying price-insensitive counterparties. It is * not * buying a bunch of puts because you think the market is due for a correction, or buying a bunch of calls because your chart’s squiggles told you stock XYZ is going to the moon. It’s also not blindly selling vol on a stock just because it currently has a high IV rank or because “you want to own it anyway” and have bought into some industry sales pitch about how selling options is a viable source of income. If you’re determined to continue trading options I would recommend watching and reading everything you can from Kris Abdelmessih and Euan Sinclair. But 10 years is a decently long time to have been doing this. You need to be honest with yourself about whether you have actually learned anything in that time, and make a genuine assessment of what additional work you would need to do to become successful at this, as well as determining whether you are actually willing and able to do that work without the rest of your life suffering as a result.  You also need to be honest about why you seemingly feel compelled to continue doing this at all. You have a family, and you have been losing time and money on this for a decade instead of just working a second job or spending that time with them. At some point you can no longer truthfully say that you are doing this for your family. It’s not for me to say whether you’re past that point, but you absolutely need to be able to identify it for yourself.

DTK101

You don’t think company executives know what they’re doing or know more than us common folk? I understand having concern, I just find it funny when people say things like “I’m not sure the company understand XYZ” when that’s their entire job

ResponsibleAnt8049

how hilarious would a truth coming out saying “so because of XYZ, this plane will be turning around”

SirGlass

Instead of questions like "Should I buy XYZ" you are better off posting why you think its better and let people address your assumptions IDK what stock is better going forward. However you probably will get more feed back if you at least say why you thing Nvidia would be better than AAPL

Fucking copilot is a character man. 90% of my interactions look exactly like this, all for the same problem: "You are a genius. This is the right track! Here is your 100% for sure fix:" "Oh, yeah you've hit the good old classic blah blah issue with XYZ. Here is the fix and why it will absolutely fix your issue." "Good, I expected that failure mode. Here is what is really going on and how to 100% fix it:" "Ahh, the classic snagglefart problem with doofleschmerz. Here is why it doesn't work and the certain fix"

Spilled water on keyboard couple weeks ago, asked Gemini if it will be okay in panic. Today it comes back in a completely different conversation and says, “…and ya don’t frantically spill water on your keyboard while ur doing XYZ”. Yo WTF

A bit over 5000 shares of XYZ. Current expectation is to sell at around $100 sometime over the next year.

It's so funny seeing stocks (XYZ, Upwork, Salesfore, etc.) lay off workers saying they will use Ai yet their stock hasn't increased or benefited for several quarters

Virtual-Chris

There’s an art to reading charts and following industry traders on social media. My wife wins on stocks simply based on their charts. She’s like I made 15% today on “XYZ” … I’m like “Wow… what do they do?”… she says “I dunno… I don’t care!”. She’s spent two years following various trading experts, watching videos, reading books, and staring at stock charts all weekend. I can’t do that. I pick companies I know and like that are undervalued in my mind. We both do ok. Sometimes she’s killing it, particularly when the market is choppy. I tend to only win in bull market situations.

FoxChess

So you're betting that short-term market hype will play out into long-term valuation. Buying into these lesser-known "AI materials" companies is clearly a mid/long-term play... so why wouldn't you buy FAANG? You're not unique and your ideas are not special. I have my non-investor friends reaching out to me and telling me to buy XYZ company because they think exactly the same thing you do... but the market already played this out. Honestly if you're wanting to make this play, just buy QQQ. I know it isn't sexy, but I guarantee you'd come out ahead over whatever you're looking at.

Due_Assistant_474

Please XYZ open at 80 I need that win man

Yeah, but probably it's not necessary cause Claude faired well without much data from Earnings-Edge today: [https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1t1013n/comment/okhscxl/](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1t1013n/comment/okhscxl/) Almost everything in Danger zone dumped. XYZ in Sweet Zone quadrant rose. The framework seems to be promising.

Can’t believe the sub doesn’t like XYZ. Dorsey played Pusha T before the earnings call

XYZ might be cooking up somethin

yeah I mean a couple were wrong but XYZ and EXPE were super good finds

cbusoh66

CRWV beat revenue, miss EPS IREN slight beat on revenue, overall meh COIN miss RKLB meh, still no profit in sight XYZ solid MP solid

arctictony222

Anyone else play XYZ earnings?

arctictony222

Lets see if the earning call for XYZ can boost the stock even more.

arctictony222

i might have made back my PLTR losses with XYZ

RandyTomfoolery

Prolly should have grabbed some XYZ calls, they might report solid numbers and spike before going back to the depths of hell.

PapaCharlie9

> Is there anything wrong with this approach? Yeah, all of it is wrong. If you want shares, just buy shares. The deeper ITM you go on CSPs, the lower the premium will be. In fact, you may be stuck with a **discounted price** just to get the trade going. For example, say XYZ is $100 and you think it would be free money to sell the $20 CSPs. Except that the bid/ask is $0/$83. So fine, you aren't greedy, you'll offer $81. You get no takers. You offer $80.50, you get no takers. You offer $80.00 (parity), you get no takers. You offer $79.95 (so now you are at a $0.05 discount to parity), **you still get no takers**. Who is going to pay $79.95 for a contract that has no bid? The contract is worthless, so no one is going to pay for it unless you offer a correspondingly deep discount to parity.

>but if done wisely, investing in a brokerage account can be done tax efficiently yes, it can be *relatively* tax efficient in a brokerage. but it's nothing like the tax sheltering in a 401k or IRA. reading between the lines, I suspect this might be one of those questions: - "I have $XYZ in my 401k and the investing calculator says I'll have $42 gazillion by the time i hit 59.5". the problem is those online calculators simply do not reflect how the stock market actually functions, and any such estimates should be regarded with extreme caution. or - "I want to retire before age 59 or 65", in which case I say you're probably being unrealistic.

Intrepid_Exit_1927

That’s actually useful but I meant for $XYZ (block). Sorry 🙈

Lawlpaper

According to my probabilities, Tuesday or Wednesday next week will be the largest part of this run. Again it’s a gamble. It’s gotta run first. Everyone always says “XYZ” has the best chance in the market. But the data really does point to this has all the boxes checked. Just need to get the ball rolling.

IllllIIlIllIllllIlll

There is no shortage of people who constantly ask "is it too late to buy $XYZ" when $XYZ smashed its ATH and just had double digits growth in a few days. Because as we all know, past performance is indicative of future results.

> They create bespoke (as in created and customized for) software projects so that companies or entities can solve a specific problem. To add, they have general platforms (Gotham, Foundry, etc.) that they customize (to whichever degree needed) and integrate them to meet the needs of companies/entities to solve specific problems. Not the best analogy, but imagine if Google had an "internal google search, but for business XYZ, fully customized to their needs, using your internal data and infra, and including whichever extra functionality you want us to build just for you that doesn't exist in the general google search" product. It is sorta kinda like that.

MathTutorAndCook

Here's the thing, RDDT, TSM, and XYZ still goin up That's enough to keep me flat today

tankydee

Agree with you but I've noticed in Australia a large change with Gen Z and Alpha saying 'lets go search up XYZ'. It may change further with AI but the change takes time and there is still a lot of engrained behaviour/ google verbiage in boomers through elder millennials.

If you’re genuinely trying to buy a company as a bitcoin play, you might want to look at Block ($XYZ) ran by Jack Dorsey

> I think the backlog just means they are multi-stage, multi-year deals that realize within the timeframe they told (24 months). Not that they don’t have the computational capacity or so. No they shared the issue is capacity. Sundar indicated their cloud number would have been bigger than the 63% if they had capacity. > For example GCP makes a deal with XYZ Co. for 1 billion for the next 4 years. This deal will “cash out” 250 million a year, which means 50% will realize in the next 2 years. This is also very normal and contributes to a backlog. Thanks! Because you are pointing out exactly why what Google shared is a big deal. Also very unusual. Google gave the time frame to recognize. Think about Microsoft. They have a backlog even bigger than Google backlog. Now a lot of it is OpenAI and that gets discounted as not real. But they have a ton that is NOT OpenAI. What Microsoft should have done if it was positive is on the call give some number of the backlog that they will be able to recognize that is NOT OpenAI in the next 24 months. If that number was as impressive as Googles number then they would have been credit a lot, IMO. But they did not. But the other huge negative for MIcrosoft is margins compared to Google. Microsoft does not provide net margins with Azure. But they are likely not that great and why they do not share as they are forced to buy Nvidia hardware and Google has their own TPUs.

Retired-Programmer

Market tanks or suddenly some stock I have been looking at becomes a bargain and it's easy to sell SGOV and buy the XYZ stock I want. Other similar situations and an easy transaction. Where's with HYSA it's either a delay or have to pay wire fees or margin fees.

SuffiecientSapian

XYZ calls 🙂‍↕️

AMadWalrus

It was in his post with more hindsight bias about some other random stock that outperformed XYZ of your choosing.

TACO_Orange_3098

That is more or less the nuts and bolts to build one and get it ready for use "generically" , not use it for a specific XYZ going forward

PapaCharlie9

> Worst case scenario, I hit the strike price and pay off the debt. And possibly leave a bunch of money on the table. Let's not forget that. Say you bought XYZ at $20/share on $10k of margin, write CCs at the $25 strike, so even after paying off the debt you still get a 5% gain (ignoring the CC premium). Then the CCs get assigned when XYZ hits $40. You just left $1500 in cash on the table, which was the whole point of buying shares on margin in the first place. Then there's the opposite situation where XYZ falls to $15/share. Now you won't have enough equity for the margin debt and will have to add cash to the account or be in a margin call.

HappyCaterpillar2409

Would have been nice to buy stock XYZ at $1 and sell it at $1000 It's a pointless thing to say. You have no idea when the stock has peaked or bottomed out.
