they feed off how well bitcoin moves. so if BTC makes noise, expect Mara and Riot to do the same.
Anyone investing heavily this year??

Only thing in my portfolio that did decent today was MIST. Damnit im waiting on PLUG and NIO to do something
Be patient with the EVs. They are the way of the future, along with autonomous vehicles and 5G stocks.
Like I tell people, they need to find out if they want to be a trader or investor or both (which is possible) but a sound strategy is needed and discipline because I know many people selling at huge losses which makes no sense unless you really need the money.
Nice, the more I learn about option trading the more I realise you have to know about the trifecta (stock , options and futures trading)
Example when buying a HIFI audio do you want to pay the Retail price or the Wholesale price ?
Retail price is when you the buy the stock at the current price.....wholesale is when you sell a PUT at the strike you want stock to own stock.
If the stock reaches the strike of the PUT you get the stock for the price you want own them.
If the stock stays at the same price or goes higher you get to keep the premium received for selling the PUT and then I keep selling PUT until I get the stock.
I only use this strategy for stock that I really want to OWN. Exactly a year ago I used this to method to get AT&Tfor 31$
Warren Buffet called derivatives weapons of mass destruction , but he used them in the past to buy stocks this way for the price he wanted to own them.
I see.
MARA was playing with my emotions earlier. I was like as soon as this shit goes up a few more cents, I'm out.
Good advice. I want to be both, which is why I have a small trading account that I'm trying to build up separate from my long term investing account. Tryna build a position with NIO in the trading account and experiment otherwise. In my long term, I dollar cost averaging TSLA and PLUG for now..Also, here's a decent looking EV ETF if anyone is interested. I'm tempted, but trying to decide between broad exposure v individual shares for growth potential:

..let that stima-stimuli drop and watch me sell puts of NIO until I either get my hundo or gather up premiums like the Monopoly man..
Nice.
I decided to do the same. I have one account for my investment/dividend plays, and the other for day trading.
Dippin my toe in these credit spread waters. I’ve been knee deep learning about high probability trading with option spreads. Set up a Put Spread for NIO today and gonna look to do a few call spreads for GM and Pinterest tomorrow. I may do one more on Snapchat and let those ride and see how they go. Each are fairly small, low risk plays but if they play out I should make more than I have guessing the wrong direction on stocks.
What I’m liking about options so far is it’s another lever I can pull. I can always buy the stock or stay in cash. But if I think it’s going down I can do a bear credit spread and not come out of pocket or go as risky as strictly short selling. You can even play both sides or do a neutral move if the stock isn’t moving. For a lot of traders it’s more of a numbers game and selling over priced premiums rather than being right. You just need to be in range to win.

I have $100k in Amazon and beat or not it’s a long term holding.
Kodak.
Gat damn, did anyone see this coming?
if the stock value is under 20$, then it doesn't make sense to me to use options
https://www.fullyinformed.com/put-selling-index-listing/ has a great explanation of the how and why of this strategy.
And especially the RISKS involved
,
Thanks.. I'm gonna dive into this later (that's a lot of material). I def need all the info I can get to keep me from being reckless. What I said before was based on the fact that I wouldn't mind actually owning 100 shares of NIO to hold long term. So why not sell a put contract for that at a price I want to buy at and collect a premium for it until it falls to that price?

They announced it on TOS at 6:18am, published an article a little after 7am.
Not sure I understand how / why the price of the stock price matters if there is enough people willing to pay a premium
Got all 4 of my spreads in so now I wait and watch. Two Bear Call Spreads on GM and Pintrest, a Bull Put Spread on NIO (all for Aug 21st) and a Debit Call spread on SNAP for September. I just need to get out of the accidental NIO Call spread I sold and I should be good. Wish me luck!
AMD earnings call....
