gay picnic defence posted:Has someone involved in the company got a history of involvement in lovely companies that have failed? I was reading some investor updates from some hedge fund and it sounded like the background of key management personnel is a big thing they look for in short targets. Interesting. Their CEO/President looks good -- phd with extensive experience and brought their first fda approved product to market quickly. The most recent analysis available on TD Ameritrade was when the stock was trading for less than a dollar last year, so that's pretty outdated. I see some recent inside buys filed in January and just a few days ago -- pretty substantial options so at least some in the company are bullish. And lots of financial institutions bought up pretty large chunks of the company, too, recently. I don't imagine they're looking to lose money on those. If it stays steady around 3.00, I may add 100 shares a month for awhile and see how it plays out.

mentioned it in discord at the time, but, bought: 1 XLE 6/18 50c @ 3.20 like 8 minutes before close today. my main regret is not buying two (a lesson from past options so I can take profits and still have a runner) but I was busy and market was kinda volatile. there was too much panic already in the air, figured the move was to buy a call on reopening (/CL was down nearly 8%!) instead of a put on trash stonks.

Yeah, I cashed out of AMC, made a cool three grand in the process of riding it from $7 to $14. Trying to decide if I just throw that into something safe or find a new gamble.

dipwood posted:VUZI running hot this week, got down to 18 but at 25 now. Good Q4 earnings, and a big order the other day. I'm like 33 @ 21.13 (was 25 @ 21.69 but i bought more shares at 18/19) and I think either they'll scale up or get bought out. This is a new peak though so it might oscillate back down. Their "good Q4 earnings" was because they booked $1.5m in COVID relief loan forgiveness. Without that, it would have been their 2nd quarter in a row of growing losses, even if you consider an uptick in sales. Their product margin in 2020 went (-4%) to 9% to 11% to 7%, and when an analyst from Maxim asked about the drop from 11% to 7%, the CFO started straight up bullshitting until the CEO stopped him and then tried to claim that it it was 28% if you look at the whole year  . Then the CFO jumped back in and said "even higher than that...around 46%". (Maxim downgraded their rating for the stock a day later).They claimed they have $52m in cash & equivalents, which somehow turned into $60m on the earnings call, but on the 10-K they actually have ~$37m ($52m was their bottom line total for assets). They also appear to have backed away from their new consumer sector product that they've been dumping millions of R&D a quarter into. It was originally supposed to be released to developers today, but on the earnings call, they barely mentioned it other than that they were shifting to focus on enterprise. They were also asked about Q1 estimates in the call (Q1 is essentially over, so they definitely know), and they mumbled and dodged the question entirely. COVID bumped them up from a trailing average of $1.5m/Q in sales to $3m, which they're parading around, but it's already peaking. Even if sales stays up and their margins magically improved to 28%, they would STILL have to grow from $3m million/Q to $27 MILLION/Q in sales to break even on opex. So just so you understand, the bet you are making is on them hitting ALL of the below within a year and a half: -growing sales 9x -reducing their manufacturing costs ~20% -maintaining their current OPEX levels -weathering an unfavorable market (COVID recovery) which they are already showing signs of decline from -having no additional competition from Apple/Microsoft/Google Their stock price before ARK/MOON started loading the truck was $4, and this was in December 2020 - four months ago. They are now trading 6x that at $24 that with only 1.5x more sales, which was likely primarily because of COVID uncertainty. Their "big order" was $400k, and they even revealed in the press release they were trying to sell to the customer for 18 months before they agreed. My opinion is that it's a big media blitz to pump the price and allow their institutional investors to exercise warrants and cash out. But I guess at this point the whole market has gone several steps past casino and is now betting on dice in the back alley, anyway, so whatever.

Quad witching/gamma stuff. Max pain on QQQ is 314 which corresponds to about 12850 on /NQ, exactly where it’s at now. SPY had a lot of call volume at $390. QQQ has negative gamma, SPY worked off a lot yesterday and is modestly positive. Expectation would be violent moves intraday, more violent in Nasdaq to end around those spots. If for some reason SPY trades significantly below 390 (like say 385/3850 on /ES) things are potentially breaking down and sit it out. Otherwise buy dips/sell rips on Nasdaq using SPY as your indicator. Futures contracts settle iirc at 2:00 so things could release from those pins in the afternoon. Fake edit: /NQ has sold off 100 points and recovered 80 since I started typing this

Good morning for me. I picked up some SPY puts with a strike of 389 and closed them after about 15 minutes for +120% and it appears to be recovering after that drop. I don’t really do 0DTE options so lol woooh boy that was an intense 15 minutes.

I have a question. I have a call option that expires today. I actually want to exercise it to purchase the underlying stock. The strike price is 22.50 and the stock is currently sitting at 25. I called Schwab and they told me they couldn't execute it on the day of expiration, however it would actually auto-execute at the end of the trading day/overnight as long as it remained in the money and I had the buy powering available. This was news to me, but I think I've never let an option expire that was ITM before. I know that it often doesn't make sense to do so, but I think options on SPACs that haven't had a DA yet create exceptions to that rule. Does this all sound correct? I don't really understand why there is a special rule on the last day and why the broker just couldn't exercise the option for me right now, but if he's telling the truth I don't really have an issue with waiting the extra day.

I had a $1.50 SNDL and the stock was $1.80 at the end of expiration day. I assumed RH would auto execute and then I noticed that the call expired worthlessly. I emailed support and they were completely useless telling me that the option was worthless. Was super pissed trying to do whatever I could and then suddenly on Tuesday I had the shares in my account. This is all to say I'm still nervous about expiring ITM calls and I'd probably call back to get a different rep to ensure that will actually be the case

When trading a spread with Fidelity, will they just sell at bid and buy at ask to ensure it goes through, or will they try for a better price on each leg? Wondering if I do it the easy way, or try and leg it out instead for a better outcome.

what do you guys make of AMC? it began big runs right after the january opex (jan. 15) and february opex (feb. 19). I kinda wonder if whoever's loving with it comes for the shorts next week using their newfound gains on calls from this opex. on fundamentals it's garbage, it should be valued at like $1, but this is a suspicious and interesting (sample size of 2) opex trend. kinda thinking of getting some lotto OTM calls.

All AMCs near me were fully renovated 5-10 years ago to the new style of fully reclining power independent seats that you book individually in advance, so they are generally pretty nice. The other option was Regal, of which some had been renovated with the new seats and some hadn't, or some only in their best few screens.
