Anyone investing heavily this year??

[oolong tea]

No no no...this is what happens to meme stocks every time. Yes it was foul what they did but this was the end result either way...just sooner than I thought

No, it got too popular. Wall Street bets fellas hold on to failing knives all the time but not everyone has diamond hands. It's twisted entertainment to hold hundreds of thousands of dollars just to lose it again. Reddit and youtube know about it. But now the game got fucked up and short sellers will want blood. The brokerages even blocked Popeyes stock because of an ad. I can't wait to up my game and bounce from bullshit brokerages.

Yeah if you are investing your life savings then that's a huge mistake. The first rule of investing is invest money you are able to lose. What I have invested will not ruin me financially, I'm good if I lost it because it isn't my entire life savings.

True. There are stories being published of people getting second mortgages on their homes and spending college tuition to invest in gamestop and amc. There are gonna be some suicides related to all of this.

The IV crush is nasty!

Yep. Get in. See your profit. Get out.

For the option seeker, do you rely on fundamentals or technicals to place an option? Both?

Try fidelity

Fidelity is good but their Active Trader Pro is not working for me today. I have to enter my trades through the website because none of my orders are going through.

Great question and one that i'm still trying to get better at reading. For me it's about "opportunity!"

Opportunity that's based on some penidng news/move that's likely to translate on some price action.

I really think news/moves override fundamentals and technicals for short term(less than 1 month) plays. Those are about in and out!

Now for something like $NIO then it weights a little more because you're probably taking long term(6 months+) type option based on those analysis.

Update: I think the hardest part of options trading is when to get out? Especially if you have plays that are expiring in 2 weeks or less? @Tito_Jackson seems to have a system in place where 10% profit and out. No matter what! It may sound small but i can't even begin to tell you how powerful that is in the long run.

Thanks. We need separate stickies are trading & investing here. The Cops killing Black Folks thread is straight depressing.

Damn, looks like I sold the rest of my position in AMC too soon.

That's the hardest part for me... greed and when to sell. I'm getting better tho and I refuse to sell at a loss if I have time left

Absolutely! I'm not sure how legally they could have done what they did.
If they at the very least restricted both sides trading then maybe...
But when you only restrict the demand side(buy side)?

WTF?

Who fell for the silver pump and dump

im sure there were alot that did. some people choose to invest off of mere speculation.

Who fell for the silver pump and dump

I almost did. I had been accumulating a little cash just in case there's a correction this year. Was considering putting it in a Gold ETF until I needed it, but when the silver scheme presented itself I was thinking about putting it there instead.

But that cash is in my M1 Account and I knew that I wouldn't be able to get out as quick as I wanted to if I needed to. So I been sitting on the sidelines during this entire fiasco with my scared money

He was just on tv giving an interview clearing up what the anchors were misinterpreting (I'm sure it wasn't on purpose. Smh). Had them looking stupid.

I tell you what. This whole thing is giving folks a a quick lesson on how a lot of entities work when it comes to how the financial market behind the scenes works in conjunction with how it's reported to us. Not to mention all of the wealthy people who skin in the game that are pulling up on the information pushers and shitting on them on live tv.

What a show.

I think its a great time to stack up on silver coins.... and do not sell, just stack them

babies up, the 99 percent silver coins tho.. the bars are ok, but you want the coins...

much easier to move if anything happens to the dollar...

just get a lil here and there when you can.. stash em and forget..

I still think this is a very risky pay, but I'm not an expert by any means. At the high, profits should have been taken, and reinvest for the cause at the low. Mark Cuban makes the point the RH pretty much fucked the game up for everyone, and that I do agree with. The stock would have still took a hit, but maybe not as bad if RH didn't pull the plug. More WSB retailers would have just brought the dip, and or added to their position.

I learned a valuable lesson. My average cost/share was low because I bought right after the announcement that they were not going bankrupt and then I increased my position. Initial purchase was on Monday and by Tuesday I was up 220% because of the Reddit hype and then I averaged up when it dipped to $8. I got caught up in the hype thinking it was going to increase even more instead of sticking with the plan. I should have walked away with profits in the thousands but I got greedy and now I have profits in the hundreds which is better than a lot of people. I hope this feeling that I have right now guides my future plays.

I'm up 16% in ABML today. It's a long-term play for me though.
I think that they have a unique take on this EV Battery business.

For the option seeker, do you rely on fundamentals or technicals to place an option? Both?

I'm just getting into options, but I can tell you what I've learned:

1) I look at the "Greeks" specifically "Delta." I wont even bother with an option unless it has a .70 (70%) delta.
2) I don't really worry about "Theta" (Time decay) because I buy options that are at least 60 days out.
3) Whatever I buy, I make sure that I know my "Break Even" point.
4) I look at Open Interest as well. I need a high Open Interest, because I want to make sure that whatever I buy is liquid.

I hope this helps...
