eTrade was down at open as I just decided to sell off my BB position. That one cost me about 2 grand. Nice.

Does anyone have any good resources on implied volatility or thoughts on a low risk high probability options play on GME? My assumption is that IV on GME is going to crash after Friday, along with the stock going down quite a bit over the following weeks. To not hold a naked position but something with reasonable probability of small gains, I was looking into a bear put spread for 2/19 60p /50p options.. Volatility won’t change the break even but you’ll make more money closer to it. Risk $535 to make, at most $465 with a break even around $54. I’ll probably just play it out on paper with what RH quotes, but I’m interested in these types of plays for many small wins... Crazyweasel fucked around with this message at 16:17 on Jan 26, 2021 |

I bought a share of GME at 88 hoping it'll go up to 150ish today for a free cool 50. Watching the stock is giving me stress though I should just sell it

At this point losing the other 46% would just be a small dip in my CCIV and GIK gains so I’m gonna keep holding and hope nobody starts peeing in this well.

Hi, I'm new to this world. I had some questions (if it's suited more towards the other thread I can move it) and I'm hoping for some help. A couple months ago I opened a new bank account and set aside some money that I'm calling my cowboy money that I was gonna use for dumb purchases and sports bets. Then later I opened an RH account and put a percentage of my play money in there to mess around. Originally I just bought a couple shares ICLN and would just check on it every couple days and say, "wow cool" and marvel at gaining a dollar. Then the GameStop thing happened. Watching GSE, and the other WSB stocks, has been nauseating and a rush. And it got me reading a lot more about stocks and trying to learn a lot more. I watched the video about the wheel (as well as the two videos on covered calls and cash-covered puts) and that seems cool and makes sense. In the video it's recommended using a stock that you don't mind holding/that you believe in which makes sense. But I don't have a ton of money in this account and I can't really buy 100 shares of what my ignorant brain thinks would be good for this. So my first question is if there's cheaper stocks ($10-$30) that are relatively stable that would be good for this or are they too volatile at that price? If that stuff is kind of a secret, or I need to put in the work myself, I get that too, which brings me to my next question. People (the internet) talk about researching companies before buying stock which makes sense of course. The DDs (is it deep dive or due diligence or either?) how do you go about researching that? I don't know where that information people find is. I'm sure it's public, but where can I find it? Is there a good, "hey here's some questions you should definitely be asking" list when looking at a company? While I'm having fun watching all these stocks go up, it's my understanding this market isn't going to last. What exactly do people do in a bear(?) market? Or depression? Is the goal to pull money out? Do many of the same things work just more slowly? I bet the answer to this question is a big-fat "it depends" but I'd feel irresponsible at least not trying to get more information. Alternatively, play money go brrrrrrrrrr.

Pull money out, hedge with options to try and stay neutral or even go positive. It's mostly about weathering the storm and picking up some stuff on deep discount. I got one hell of a deal on LYB last March.

moctopus posted:Hi, Most public companies put materials on their investor relations page of their website. See also shareholder calls -- these are often extremely boring and everything they say is carefully crafted, but they can't lie (without obvious future ramifications anyway). Go read reminisces of a stock operator. The audiobook is also good. If you're hanging out in this thread, you're well on your way to blowing up your account multiple times. That book will detail what that looks like and how quickly it could happen before computers existed.

When the stock market recovers, it recovers in big jumps on single days for the most part.

moctopus posted:Hi, Honestly those are loaded questions - I’d start with checking out YouTube videos, Investopedia, reading links from this thread and on the Reddit boards. Just a couple days of aimless clicking will probably give you a better feel and more concrete questions that you can take action on. For due diligence stuff you probably want to look up Fundamental Analysis. If you like seeing analysis based on moving averages and the price and volume and all those stock market numbers, look up Technical Analysis.

Just a couple days of aimless clicking will probably give you a better feel and more concrete questions that you can take action on. And whatever sources you are using BEWARE. There are absolutely shady actors out there who will try and mislead you to manipulate the price of securities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt1B-hpluCc To echo what others have said moctopus, reading financial statements is I believe extremely important for any investor. After all if you don't do that, how are you supposed to estimate a companies value? Without a good value estimate how do you know if you are getting a good price? Valuing a company is like looking up the Kelly Blue Book value of a car before buying. It doesn't guarantee you aren't getting a lemon, but it can save you from getting ripped off. Here's a friendly intro to reading a companies financials from a professional: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vdmHxcuGTY

MAXR is the top holding in both UFO and ROKT space ETFs and has a good website (they genuinely do useful things in space). It already spiked up to $59 in anticipation of ARKX but is trading back down around $49 today. Might sell this tomorrow, might hold it for months. We'll see.

Nitr0 posted:“I’m pissed that nothing is really happening for my 5 year hold play” I was trying to say it's not a big deal, considering I'm gonna hold it for that long, and over the long run, one day doesn't mean poo poo. Maybe I typed it out wrong. I just got the second dose of the pfizer vaccine and I feel like I ran into a brick wall. Tired, achy, stomach hurts. No fever thankfully. Apparently all those are common side effects though.
