I like 10% or more dividends. I had a good year in my REIT brokerage account. 20% growth plus 9% yield. I am less optimistic on REITs in 2017 though...

#301 7 years ago
Quoted from JY64:

When bonds go up rests will take a hit.If you like yield check out CIM a ETF that uses leverage and loans for high yield a good but a higher risk then average

Thanks for the info. I actually own CIM. It is up nearly 50% for me. NRZ is also up over 40%. And SHO at 35%. Too bad I didn't invest much in them.

I don't agree with the OP's shorting the market. I think the Trump bump is here to stay. I would EUO. It is shorting the Euro. I think the EURO is a goner eventually.

#306 7 years ago
Quoted from JY64:

VZ mar 50 strike puts selling near $1

How to puts like this work?

#314 7 years ago

rai

Thanks for the info.

#333 7 years ago

Maybe the OP should short the Peso. Mexico is trying to play chicken with Trump and I think they are gonna lose.

25k minimum? That is not right. Most sites are like $500 minimum.

#469 6 years ago
Quoted from Oneangrymo:

I just sold 50% of my holdings, paid of my mortgage. Market too up and down these days. I know stocks are not absolutely related to politics, but I have a feeling once Trump goes.. crash
Mo

I've rebalanced with a heavy weight to emerging markets. That seems to be where the best value is.

What a wild weekend for the market. The Coronavirus is spreading. Plus it looks like Bernie may be the democratic nominee which I'd think means another term for Trump

11 months later
#7657 3 years ago

I back in and buying some reits. I have an unhealthy obsession with them. I don't have any in my 401k. So I figured it was a good way to diversify.
I wonder how wall street will figure out how to stop the reddit mobs

#7763 3 years ago

Is it too late to catch the wave on nakd?

#7784 3 years ago

How do you buy shares premarket? Just place an open trade and how someone takes it?

#7798 3 years ago
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

With Ameritrade I had to pick the GTC + ext option. It's under the Time-in-force section.
[quoted image]

Thanks man! I'm gonna try a few bucks on this madness

#7908 3 years ago
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

FREE MARKET?, Fuck the manipulation on these stocks today by the Big Boys. I just hope the reddit crowd finds a new wy to hammer these guys.

Can't they just wait for the platforms to allow the stock to be purchased again and go nuts?

#7926 3 years ago

I fail to see how pissing off the internet ends well for wall street

#8027 3 years ago
Quoted from SantaEatsCheese:

Not trying to open up a political discussion here, but want to show that the hand of government is likely going to come down hard here on somebody. When Cruz, AOC, Tilab, Trump (jr.) and Shapiro are agreeing with and retweeting each other, you know the hand of God is about to be unleashed.
[quoted image]

I was coming here to post this is well. Has AOC and cruz ever agreed on anything?
Someone wake up old man Bernie and tell him to get in on this too

#8079 3 years ago

Senate banking committee claims it's going to hold a hearing on this.
Pretty dumb to rig the trades like that today with millions of people watching.
Lawsuit have already been filed.

#8180 3 years ago
Quoted from robertmee:

So, speculate where do the reddit stocks (for lack of better term) go from here? The WSB crowd in part moved to Fidelity and Schwab today and RH just announced it will be opening up trading tomorrow on a limited basis. After hours most of the stocks are already trending up. So do these stocks prevail and everyone doubles down, crushing the obvious attempts by the establishment to prevent a run, or is the party really over? So much attention now by Politicians, some of these manipulators have to be getting nervous. Nothing like persecution of a Bernie Maloof to put in your cap in congress.
I made a good bit on AMC. Could have made a lot more if not for today's events. I'm a bit gun shy now as the rules are changing on the fly so getting harder to predict movements. What do you think?

I'd wager reddit pushes harder tomorrow. The stunt RH pulled today has motivated them anymore. It clearly showed the game is rigged and the internet won't go quietly without a fight. At least I hope so. I'm getting my butt handed to me on nakd

#8213 3 years ago

Jerks!

#8215 3 years ago

It isn't a pump and dump to the reddit. They are pumping to stick it to wall street for betting big on amc and gamestop to fail costing people jobs. If no one dumps the price keeps going up. That's why RH only allowed sales to help lower the price to help the hedge funds shorting the stocks not lose so much

#8227 3 years ago
Quoted from delt31:

Wait did Ameritrade just do this too restricting purchase bc of so I'm closing my account. They can go themselves

They did. I saw the message when I just logged on. Seems like fidelity is the way to go but I think there's a $2500 minimum to open the account

#8243 3 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

and the most f'd up part of all of this? they are going to end up winning this because the brokerages catered to them under the guise of 'we're protecting you'. The only spin on any media platform has been how those bad redditors and rh users tried to manipulate the market and go after those poor hedge companies.
It's not like everyone can walk away from it either. It's practically the only place to put money and the fed and admins have made sure of that. Some of those smart hackers need to prove what is going on behind the scenes.

Too bad they don't care to protect the millions addicted to actually gambling on the internet or casinos. Just when the average joe buying a stock on its way up

#8299 3 years ago
Quoted from Isochronic_Frost:

Just saw this post... you’ve got to be joking me. The short interest is still over 100%?!? These Hedge Funds are really screwed if GME calls finish ITM today.
[quoted image]

Correct. Before yesterday it was 140% so even after all the BS they pulled yesterday they only got it down 20%

#8376 3 years ago

Today is the big day. That's why all the chants of hold are happening. If gme owners don't sell today the hedge fund shorters are going to be in a world of hurt.

Diamond hands

#8414 3 years ago
Quoted from Fifty:

Ugh... The rest of the market is a mess today. Yesterdays gains are gone.

Selling off to cover the coming losses of redditors refusing to sell GME which means the shorts are going to get hammered

#8432 3 years ago

From wsb

In the last hour of trading some of us are predicting they will launch a short ladder attack to make it look like it’s selling off to trick you into selling your shares. Their goal is to go under $115 to get out of their expiring contracts. This will be a major victory for them.

Hedge funds sell back and forth with one another at lower and lower bids in rapid succession, tricking algorithms into thinking there is a mass sell off when there actually isn’t. (They do this to scare off retail investors to engineer a sell off). Once the attack is over, the stock will normally go back up due to its demand. Then they will rinse and repeat their attack, each time hoping to chip away more and more retail investors. Most people in here know this, so if retail investors are selling, it’s unlikely that it’s anyone at all.

#8433 3 years ago

^^^
This is why you see prices go down without in increase in volume

#8436 3 years ago
Quoted from KornFreak28:

Where do you guys updated info on this?

The Wallstreetbets reddit page

#8449 3 years ago
Quoted from Deaconblooze:Doesn't it make sense for the reddit group to place limit orders at 120ish to prevent a dip below 115?

RH won't let them. This is causing a large part of the rage. The clear rigging of the game

#8471 3 years ago

More explanation green wsb on what happens at the end of the day

quick explanation for AMC:

The hedge funds sold call options on AMC up to $9. If the price closes above 9 today, those options will get exercised and the hedge funds will be on the hook to provide 100 AMC shares for each option contract sold. Therefore they will have to buy back at market prices to provide those shares.

this will compound the upward price movement (called a gamma squeeze). The higher AMC closes today, the larger the positive effect. Additionally, short interest on AMC has gone up 13% this week (71% -> 84%) meaning they are doubling down on their short. If we can gamma squeeze today (keep price above 9), then the short squeeze will soon follow.

REMEMBER, THE NAME OF THE GAME IS PATIENCE. HOLD AND DON'T LET THEM WIN THEIR SHADY GAMES.

#8474 3 years ago

Just bought a few AMC at $13

#8554 3 years ago
Quoted from Deaconblooze:

This made me spit out my beer.[quoted image]

I've got 1 share of gme. 10 of amc. And far too many in nakd. I hope to just break even on that one.

#8594 3 years ago

People are buying GME billboards around the country. This is in Times Square

Screenshot_20210130-123940_Samsung Internet (resized).jpgScreenshot_20210130-123940_Samsung Internet (resized).jpg
#8609 3 years ago

Some person on wsb claims a friend who works at fidelity said they opened 200,000 accounts last week. They usually average 15,000. So who knows what could happen if a large percentage leave RH and they stock limit purchase BS and get on fidelity where they can keep buying.

#8613 3 years ago
Quoted from gambit3113:

But I don’t think they have any reason to cut out anywhere near the current price. Why would they?

Don't think have to stay paying sizable interest if they don't fulfill the short contracts? And they can fulfill those contracts unless they start buying gme stock which should cause the price to shoot up.

I wonder if politicians will actually do anything about what robinhood did on Thursday. They love to tweet to get attention but then rarely do anything about it

#8619 3 years ago
Quoted from gambit3113:

BUT what I meant was the firms holding GME stock as an investment. Fidelity M&R and Blackrock are the two biggest stakeholders. Blackrock’s position in GME has grown from ~$170M to $2.4B in this run up. They would love to have it worth $5B+.

That makes sense. No reason for them to sell.

Quoted from robertmee:

Their reputation, right or wrong, is forever tarnished with their user base.

I hope their IPO crashes and burns

#8623 3 years ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l8rf4k/times_square_right_now/

Scroll down a bit and thre is a guy keeping a list of all the billboards. Looks like most start tomorrow

#8625 3 years ago
Quoted from KornFreak28:

I know Ice will never get into this mess. I asked because he is usually here to guide us on other "normal" stocks and things going on in the market and yes I know nobody here is giving financial advise. Thanks!

Too bad. He could have taken all his gme earnings and given them too deeproot to piss Away

#8628 3 years ago

Flown around San Francisco yesterday and above robinhood headquarters

#8671 3 years ago

I'm going to sell out of my reit positions tomorrow so I can have cash available when gme dips

#8688 3 years ago
Quoted from KornFreak28:

2nd Fidelity attempt. Now it’s asking me this. I just want a regular account to trade stocks.
[quoted image]

Right now it really doesn't matter right now. Money market interest is next to nothing. Like 1 basis point since the interest rates are so low.

Yes I’m a rookie at this, I’m just a beginner. I’m sorry sir but there’s no need for you to bust my balls

Are they diamond balls though?

#8873 3 years ago

Do you have a book you recommend for learning puts and calls and options?

#8880 3 years ago
Quoted from Ericpinballfan:

Feeling raped on that nakd stock. I knew it was a gamble.

Same here. Now they have tanked i figure there is no sense selling. Might as well just hold it

#8934 3 years ago
Quoted from Deaconblooze:

Taking that short ladder attack out of their toolbox certainly helps to restore some balance. Things are going to get interesting.

Tomorrow should be interesting since the NYSE won't allow this on gme starting tomorrow

#8968 3 years ago
Quoted from tacshose:

This options conversation shows a positive of the Pinside community in that we care about each other and don’t want to see anyone lose money, even if we don’t say it in the nicest way. Compare that to Reddit where people are eager to see big loses posted.

Except when buying nib pins

#8971 3 years ago
Quoted from Monk:

I just assumed AMC was a space exploration company with all this rockets to the moon talk. Something lie Awesome Moon Company.

That is spce. The bots on wsb are pushing it.

#8984 3 years ago
Quoted from nwpinball:

earnings statement, down 31.8%
100 shares of NAKD, bought at $1.25, sold at a loss at $1.04

I'm in on 605 at a cost of $1.95. I was way too late so I'm riding it out long term. I'm reading their are going to focus on e-commerce more. Plus when covid is finally less of an issue people will buy more of the naked products

#8999 3 years ago
Quoted from kidchrisso:

I traded AMC from Thursday 21st to last Friday premarket. By the time I was done I had 4000 shares of house money, sold at $13.40 final trade...you do the math. Best 5 days ever!

Just day trading?

#9001 3 years ago
Quoted from robertmee:

So Hedge funds and their over shorting started this mess. But the SEC will likely be targeting us retail traders, further tilting the balance towards 'professionals'. Sounds fair:
https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2021/02/01/sec-could-set-short-interest-caps-hike-trading-taxes-to-combat-wild-moves-analysts-say.html

Mark Cuban did say the SEC wouldn't do anything to hedge funds. Best bet is congress

#9021 3 years ago
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

Why sit on a crap stock hoping to recoup losses when there are better investments that will allow you to make money
If you are in any tax bracket - take a loss and move one
NAKD is under $1 - if you bought in at 1.95 you are already down 50%
Stock has to increase 100% just to break even - good luck

So you're saying sell and go all in on gme?! JK

The elimination of transaction Fees has been very helpful with that I'm sure

#9040 3 years ago

Is there a way to search a thread got just one poster like iceman?

#9275 3 years ago
Quoted from toyotaboy:

Opened a robinhood account when gamestop went crazy, doing some random trading / crypto buying. Following this thread in case there's any hot tips.

#9490 3 years ago
Quoted from KornFreak28:

What about SNDL?

I'm done with the meme stocks. I was late to the party on gme and nakd. It's going to take me months to crawl out of the hole they put me in. Unless gme has a miracle comeback soon

#9499 3 years ago
Quoted from BMore-Pinball:

What miracle comeback are you waiting for - fair value is probably about 10% of current stock price
Sell now and absorb the lesson before you lose more

The release of more update short info they will be released at the end of today.

On a better note I got in on DSS yesterday and it's doing well so far

#9623 3 years ago
Quoted from mbrave77:

Had a bit of FOMO after hours and bought into SNDL and APHA. I got CRUSHED by weed plays a few years ago and have avoided. And Im guessing Im chasing now but wanted to have a bit of skin in the game. Well see howw it goes.....

These pot stocks scare me. They could crash at any moment of biden says no legalization. But I also thought that last week before they all nearly doubled in value

#9648 3 years ago
Quoted from marioparty34:

Nakd is doing quite well today. My limit sell at $2.15 executed before I finished my coffee this morning.

Of course I got tired of holding it for weeks with nothing happening and sold at $1.10 Monday.
Plus not a good pre market to get into pot stocks

#9719 3 years ago
Quoted from TRAMD:

I don't use any of those. I used to use Facebook but left when they kept censoring Right leaning posts specifically. Plus, I knew this girl from working with her but she left about a year ago. She's a 5'4", petite, fit, 30 year-old, beautiful blue-eyed brunette with high cheekbones and the best rear end and legs I've ever seen. You'll have to use your imagination from there.
And to make this post relevant after several that weren't. I went to 15% cash today and may do more tomorrow. That along with my 30% in Walmart are my plans for the impending crash (if it happens). I feel like the Gamestop story caused a LOT of people to start investing and maybe this isn't a bubble and we will instead see a permanent rise over the next few weeks. I don't know if that'd be nice or not; being rich when everyone else is too means you're not rich.
To appease the desire for a picture of a hot woman, here is my wife. And she's 38 and a mother of 5 kids, BTW.[quoted image]

Checks out. Only in western SD would you still have 4G.

#9750 3 years ago
Quoted from robertmee:

What's everyone's play today? I'm a bit nervous....Market seems primed for a big selloff and with Monday's closing, might be a long painful weekend. Hope I'm wrong here. I think after yesterday's selloff of pot stocks, there's some value. Going to watch CRON and if it dips below 10, might jump in for a long term play. It's one of the few US marketed pot companies (based in Toronto) and it actually held its own yesterday during all the Canadian only market stock sell offs.

I got in on ARTL premarket at 2.90. Hope the price target of $7 becomes a reality. Need to make up for those dumb pot stocks yesterday

#9839 3 years ago

What do we think about silver mining companies like AG and SILJ? Silver spot doesn't seem to actually reflect the price. For example 1 kilo of silver still costs $5 over spot which is extremely high.

#9843 3 years ago
Quoted from tacshose:

The only silver I buy is in physical bars, I LOVE bars of silver. I don’t mess with the stocks.

If you can find them without paying a huge price over spot.

#9853 3 years ago
Quoted from nwpinball:

There isn't much silver left to mine. My girlfriend is a metalsmith, she says almost all silver used in the world today is recycled, it was mined ages ago. And the price of silver never sky rockets, it always fluctuates between known highs and lows. Jewelers know what the good low cost is and stock up when it hits, then when it gets high they tend to switch to other metals, decreasing the demand, which lowers the price. Reddit drove up the price for a couple days a few weeks ago, but that was market hype, rather than an increase in demand, so it collapsed even faster than GME did.

That's not good for companies who need a lot of silver.
I'm intrigued by FBSGF. They claim to have found a huge deposit in Mexico

#9892 3 years ago
Quoted from pinballjah:

Anyone follow 'SOS'? Seems to be having a great day. All these stock symbols, FIRE, SOS NAKD, RIOT. Too funny Thanks.

I am. Like a dummy sold last week at 4.10 to buy SNDL. That's what happens when you don't follow your charts and instead follow emotions

#9895 3 years ago

I don't get APHA. When the merger with TLRY happens in Q2 each share will get .83 TLRY shares. Yet it consistently trades much lower than 83% of TLRY

#9908 3 years ago

SCKT is having quite the day

#9953 3 years ago

I bailed at $3.23. Then stuck it all on SXOOF which is doing well.

I use TD and don't have a problem buying premarket and after market

#10036 3 years ago

Anyone watching the congressional hearing on the gamestop Robin hood situation? The people running out country can't even run zoom meetings. What a mess

#10060 3 years ago
Quoted from robertmee:

Crazily disjointed right now with the 5 minute limits, the constant audio/video challenges, and congress individuals trying to support their position regardless of how their questions are answered.
Highlight was when Roaring Kitty ended his opening statement with I like the stock...classic.
Edit: Never listened to him before, but Ga(R) Barry Loudermilk is a smart reasonable dude. Has been the only reasonable sounding politician.

Most of it was just concerning how clueless congress is. One individual asked is RH has the ability to search reddit to make sure people investing on their platform were making sound investments

#10061 3 years ago

Is it expected to go up now? It had a nice post market run.

#10101 3 years ago
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:If I remember correctly, he pulled out $14 million at one point and then held the rest.

I think he hasn't sold any shares. I think it was his calls or options he sold for 14 million

#10102 3 years ago

I was bullish on SXOOF this week. In at .45 and out at .60.

#10110 3 years ago

PLTR calls for 2/26 could be profitable if it takes off this week

#10114 3 years ago
Quoted from PunkPin:

SEC starting to suspend trading on several meme stocks through March 4th, MARA got lumped in with it but I think it's movement has to do with Bitcoin price. glad I'm not currently holding any
https://finance.yahoo.com/amphtml/news/u-securities-regulator-suspends-trading-155017952.html

I'm on wsb regularly and don't seem to have an those stocks mentioned before. PLTR is their newest darling.
Of course hedge funds can continue to manipulate.

#10209 3 years ago
Quoted from Lamberger:Which stock was that? Did you sell?

Was it CCIV? Took it in the shorts post market

#10368 3 years ago
Quoted from stubborngamer:

Oh boy, can't wait to buy at the high to post loss porn.

I FOMO at a $69 basis. But I set a stop loss this time.

#10374 3 years ago

I tried to sell at $190 but I had a stop order I placed before the close of the day. I can't cancel after hours so I can't sell. Nooooo

#10379 3 years ago
Quoted from loneacer:

Can you short the same number of shares you are long? Then you can close both positions tomorrow.

I'm on TD. It's fallen enough that I'm not interested in selling now.
Live and learn with stops i guess. Hopefully it goes bananas tomorrow with all the press its getting again. I need some serious FOMO to boost it

#10422 3 years ago
Quoted from nwpinball:

Panic selling? I imagine Friday will be bad too.

What really would be awesome is if hedge funds went to war. A few funds bought a ton of gme $60 -80 shorts ending tomorrow. This is what started the run Wednesday. If the stock ends above that those funds are going to lose their ass. If s rival firm was smart they would buy millions of shares to drive the price up and make their competitors lose millions. Then immediately dump the shares for Huge profit.

#10553 3 years ago

I bought a 3/19 $30 call for UTZ. There is a huge amount of action going on there. Usually utz has very little in calls sold. So for such a huge amount it seems like someone might know something. At least I hope so

#10582 3 years ago
Quoted from DCFAN:

Wallstreetbets driving up RKT, now at 33

Rkt had 370 million in volume today. No way wsb creates close to that much.

#10590 3 years ago
Quoted from Lounge:

Definitely some covering going on.
WSB has 9M followers and maybe another 12M lurkers.

I still think wsb gets blamed for more than they cause. I believe it's wall street and they hedge funds causing most the movement and wsb just along for the ride. At least this round
Now SNDL near 4/20 I definitely think they could cause movement.

#10594 3 years ago
Quoted from robertmee:

I sold mine when it crossed 3. Ive been seriously thinking about jumping back in with it or OGI.

They are releasing 2020 earnings 3-19. But I'll wait until mid April and try to catch the 4-20 wave then.

#10649 3 years ago
Quoted from Pin-Pilot:

I did some Options trades yesterday. Looking to do more today.
Mentioned on CNBC this morning as the next Reddit stock. Higher short holdings.

When it gets mentioned on cnbc that means the party is over. I expect it to go down now

#10686 3 years ago
Quoted from captainadam_21:

When it gets mentioned on cnbc that means the party is over. I expect it to go down now

I told you.

Buy GME. It's a hedge against the stock market.

#10717 3 years ago
Quoted from Barakawins1:

Wow, looks like another market dump this morning. I hope this changes.

Not gme!

#10742 3 years ago
Quoted from MrBally:

I'd say the professionals are pumping and dumping stocks. Look how after the recent drop of Tesla from $890 down to $740 some analysts and firms gave buy recommendations with targets over $1000/share. Now below $575.....

This. It isn't the same market Buffet made good fortune in

#10746 3 years ago

I was looking at EYES this morning but passed. Didn't notice the insane amount of volume for it

#10772 3 years ago

Any thoughts on DASH? The lockup period ends the 9th. I'm wonder if it craters Tuesday with the early investors getting out while the getting is good.

#10822 3 years ago

Gamestop!

That is all

#10839 3 years ago
Quoted from Pdxmonkey:

Placed a put on DoorDash since their lockup ends tomorrow.

I tried to this morning but my deposit hasn't cleared. Would have already doubled my money

#10869 3 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

Or just load into Game Stop and take your chances. Lol

The wisest thing you've ever said in here!

#10885 3 years ago
Quoted from loneacer:

$215 at the moment. I only traded them once for a quick overnight trade. I took them off my watchlist so I'm no longer tempted to touch them.

Still time to get in before it goes to $300 today.

#10918 3 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

BUY some LONG TERM Apple calls as a possible strategy if you like to leverage your $$$
Or if you think it's going down you can SELL calls or buy puts. GL with that.

How long you talking?

#10956 3 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

Busy buying yesterday, posting and watching today. How about 20% now on Tesla

Or you could be up 25% today with gamestop. And 90% for the week.

#10962 3 years ago
Quoted from iceman44:

Lol. Yeah, then i'd have to really care about what happens day to day. Today, tomorrow, next month, just part of the long term journey.
If you can make money trading Gamestop more power to you and congrats! Those Reddit guys have some big balls, gotta say that.

That is true. Can't set it and forget it or you might miss the one hour is goes through the roof.

#10973 3 years ago
Quoted from Spyderturbo007:

Or you could have been an idiot, got in at $333 and sold thinking the entire thing was a bust at around $60. Oh well, it will make for a nice tax deduction.
Nothing like feeling like a moron.

I did the same on round 1. But I got back in quickly for round 2 that I've made enough that I'm ahead on the gme saga

I'm not falling for that one again!
I think I'm just always late to the party.

Never too late. Up 19% already today.

Quoted from KornFreak28:

Thanks guys! I’ve learned so much thanks to your contributions! I’ve made some good money thanks to this thread, that’s for sure....not talking about GME btw

Korn, we'll have huge buying power soon. Gme will take us there!

#11016 3 years ago
Quoted from robertmee:

WTF just happened....GME lost 140 points and AMC 2 points in less than 5 minutes. Many other stocks simultaneously tanking.

Coordinated hedge fund attack. My thoughts they have been stock piling borrowed shares for this timed attack to force panic sells.

#11031 3 years ago
Quoted from WeirPinball:

They have no clue what they are doing beyond GME

That is blatantly false. Reddit has numerous good pages for the stock market. The day trading and stock pages are filled with dozens of good posts and due diligence daily.

I know this group isn't big on gme but many are predicting blast of tomorrow if you still want to get on.
The increase in call option volume today with expiration Friday is absolutely obscene.

Quoted from pinballjah:

The option premiums must be crazy as well. My son has an investment game in his Grade 10 business class. He shorted GME at $108, presently down $1.2 million. Glad it is not real money At least he knows how to short at 15.

The call option volume is what I find the most interesting 36k calls were bought at $800 for 3/12 yesterday. 3k have already been bought today. Volume seems too high for just retail investors.

Is he going to get an F for being 1.2 million in the hole?

#11056 3 years ago
Quoted from sd_tom:

Anyone have any quick 20X return ideas so I can quit my job this afternoon? Lol

A 3/12 call on gme at $300

Quoted from DBLM:

Paging captainadam_21. Looks like he is trading GME, but have not seen him post today.

I am here. My balls are indeed blue. Diamond blue. Tomorrow is the big day.

#11128 3 years ago
Quoted from maffewl:

Sorry as I am working to understand derivative trading here... Does this mean that someone:
A.) Spent $90k for the "right" to purchase GME at as high as $380/share. So anything over $380 is profit as that price is locked in?
B.) Spent $90k to earn the premium of these options if GME share prices stay $380 or below?
C.) Some other answer.
Apologies, but I'm trying to understand some of this, and this reminds me of studying for a test and the actual questions being 10x more difficult.
If someone can break it down easier, I'm all ears.

A. they can exercise their call option to purchase 100 shares at $380 for each call they bought. So he'll lose it all if it closes today under $380. Most people don't exercise their calls because they'd need to buy 100 shares at $380 which is a buttload of money. Most just sell their call back if it turns a profit.
Right now the guys down huge since it closed at $260 yesterday. But he still has today for it to get to 380

#11130 3 years ago
Quoted from pinballjah:

Has to go above $380 to just breakeven. Not sure what he paid per contract? Probably another $20 per share.

Right. I forgot about the premium he probably paid. Likely $400ish to break even.

#11137 3 years ago
Quoted from Monk:

I wonder what price you reach the moon. $400/share for a $20/share value seems like it's moonish.

400 isn't even close. At least $1000 and higher with all the short interest and borrowed shares so outstanding. It will be the mother of all short squeezes
Just wait until the stimulus checks hit this weekend

#11153 3 years ago
Quoted from DadofTwins:

Lots of the stocks I follow, the volume seems to be about half the 10 day average? Any clues as to why?

Same here. Preparing for next week when stimulus checks start hitting?

#11161 3 years ago
Quoted from DBLM:

How the balls today, captainadam_21 ?

They have grown 70% this week. So that's good. But the insanity that was gme Wednesday has left them mighty bruised.

#11175 3 years ago
Quoted from extraballingtmc:

I’m really hoping on some red days. Sitting about 80% in cash with an itchy trigger finger lol

Do you day trade? Plenty of opportunities of you do that?

#11189 3 years ago
Quoted from kvan99:

Not even, they have black boxes doing a hundred trades in a milisecond. Not to mention the whole clearing houses bs that routes your orders through their own servers while upcharging you.

Don't even have to research the company. I have no idea what most even do. Just look for a catalyst and a gap up overnight. Plus a huge increase in volume usually means party time for the first hour or so of the day.

#11201 3 years ago
Quoted from DBLM:

The WSB is strong with this one. Is GME going to run for you tomorrow?

Hopefully the uncle Joe stimmy hits and Ryan Cohen of named CEO this week. Then it will run and run

#11202 3 years ago
Quoted from Concretehardt:

Do you use a website/ service that alerts you to news alerts and or volume activity?

I do not not the is plenty so do on this reddit page. They post stocks easily in the morning that they are watching such as gapping up, high volume, and catalysts. Then I do my own research with the mentioned stocks

#11262 3 years ago
Quoted from DBLM:

Hey captainadam_21, I am worried about your balls, man. You are just getting ro sham bo'd at this point. You ok?

I bought more on the dip today. Last gasp desperate tactics by the shorter
Trying to drive the price down before stimulus are deposited on Wednesday so it looks low a bad investment. What they're doing is just making it cheaper to buy in.

#11329 3 years ago
Quoted from DBLM:

Market is waiting to see what is happening with the Fed meeting tomorrow. Hence, the relatively quiet day.

GME wasn't quiet! The hedge funds loaded up on over a million borrowed shares this morning and hit it hard early. Shorting it down $50 or 20% l. Like trooper or is, it fought back to only end down $13. My balls feel great!

#11331 3 years ago
Quoted from DBLM:

I was getting ready to check in on you and your balls It was a rough start but you bounced back well. Hope it flies for you tomorrow!

I wanted to buy more under $200 but I didn't have the bash. My stimulus money, like icemans deeproot pin, hasn't arrived

#11336 3 years ago
Quoted from Deaconblooze:

Dare I ask, what's your avg cost basis per share?

Around $180. I bought some at $69 late last month and have been averaging up since.

#11399 3 years ago

Anyone get in on TKAT early yesterday?

#11457 3 years ago
Quoted from DBLM:

I was getting ready to check in on you and your balls It was a rough start but you bounced back well. Hope it flies for you tomorrow!

I haven't checked in with you in a few days. I picked up a few extra yesterday. My balls are doing fine. Soon I'll be so rich I'll be able to hire people to wash them like the royal bathers in coming to America

Anyone lucky or smart enough to buy TKAT last week and ride the wave up 900%?

#11562 3 years ago

GME earnings and investor call today after market closes. I'm ready to be rich!

#11572 3 years ago
Quoted from nwpinball:

While bad for investors short term, it seems smart to take advantage of being a MEME stock to make more shares available to raise cash to grow the business faster. AMC has been doing this too, I was surprised Gamestop didn't.

If gamestop issued more shares they would have pissed off all the retail investors buying. The reason it's a meme stocks is because the float is extremely low. This makes the squeeze more likely due to the heavy level it was shorted. If they doubled the float everyone would have sold off and gamestop would be screwed

#11587 3 years ago
Quoted from Oaken:

“GameStop also acknowledged in a filing that it was considering selling additional equity shares.”
https://www.cnbc.com/2021/03/23/gamestop-shares-rise-on-e-commerce-sales-jump-new-coo.html?&qsearchterm=gamestop

Of course they did. Most companies do this in case they need cash. They did this in December before the price increase. Cnbc had been trying to tank gme for months.

Quoted from DBLM:

This market is not fun. Just holding what I got.
Got to check in on my buddy captainadam_21. You holding up ok? GME is getting decimated here today.

I'm good to go. Down big but not selling. This was expected to be a day the hedge funds made a big move to short the hell out of gme and any etf that also holds it. So it was expected. Just one day closer to being retired

#11728 3 years ago
Quoted from Concretehardt:

When this all comes crashing down the big boys will of course know in advance of any Fed move and be out or short the market and the retail investors will be crushed.

Unless a person is in GME. The big boys are shorting the Russell 2000 to try to bring gme down. But it's up 53% today. Whoooooooo!

Quoted from Roostking:

Hey all, looking for some opinions on investments that generate a little monthly income. Long story short, my mother is going to assisted living and we will be selling her house and will have a lump of money to use for her care. Her pension and SS will almost cover her monthly outlay, but will be a little short, so we need the house proceeds to generate income. If we had $150,000 in cash, is there a way to reliably and safely generate a couple of hundred dollars a month?
Thanks for your opinions.

I really like Annaly capital management. It's a REIT that pays close to 10% in quarterly dividends. They are almost back up to their pre covid stock price. If you look at their 5 year chart they are extremely stable. Ranged between $10-$12

#11793 3 years ago
Quoted from Zablon:

I've been holding NLY for a few years. Divs are decent. Just don't expect the stock to move much other than down here and there.

That sounds what he's looking for. Some income. Didn't sound like he was interested in growth

Note, I don't actually recommend buying gme at these levels.

It is still on sale to me but I'm out of cash. Only a matter of time before it sky rockets in my opinion

Quoted from tacshose:

Interesting you feel that way. I did a cash out refinance at 3.25% last year from being at 4.25% and pulled $100k out that I’ve had in QYLD at 11% interest. Rates are too low to pay off my house even though I could tomorrow if desired.

I refinanced last year for 2.5% that's way too low of a rate to pay it off early

Haven't been on here for a while. I'm still all in on gme. To the moon!

#13184 2 years ago
Quoted from Oaken:

AMC has absolutely zero to do with fundamentals, which terrifies me.
Swimming with sharks. Those getting rich, please have an exit plan.

Since when do fundamentals matter? Look at dash. Can't even turn a profit when everyone's stuck at home. Or tesla? It's market cap is 10x Ford

Hopefully that guy didn't listen to those know it alls telling him to sell. Betting on a squeeze for stocks overly shorted is time tested strategy

Quoted from kvan99:

The market is dismissing the positive news and latching on to anything negative ..First the Moderna CEO said his scientists are reporting that their vaccine maybe less effective against omicron...then Powell said that he may have to speed up tapering due to inflation. Neither one of those statements should have been made at this stage....the good news has been that the omicron has been active in the unvaxxed population and only a few of the sick are the vaccinated...second hardly a tick higher in deaths over Delta..again mostly old and the immune compromised. Yes, hospitalization is up in those S. African countries but then again being the season hospitalization will be up everywhere as it gets colder and the flu season goes into full swing. Lastly, Biden admin had said not going back to lockdown. Only real concern or issue is the supply chain getting fubared even more.

My theory is the people in the know of the upcoming market crash are using these as excuses to front run the market
