Red posted:Not sure about the nuts and bolts, but if you call eTrade and say you're leaving them for another broker because of re-org fees, they'll waive it. I've had Etrade automatically refund re-org fees without asking in the past. Not really sure why. But I AFAIK splitting spac units requires a call anyway, so easy enough to whine at them after waiting on hold for that.

Have some NKLA 6/18 10p . I don't expect earnings will matter much since everybody knows there is none, but I suspect underlying will bleed a bit over the next week or two due to lock-up expiration. That might be priced in to the premiums (who am i kidding, everything is always priced in), but I can't help it - I enjoy betting against NKLA.

Dangerously close to being green for the day. The only things that have done well for me lately have been financial services, so when I saw C, JPM and MS all below where I previously sold them, I bought some ATM calls. gently caress you MA, though. Had some lucky timing on SPY puts too. also MNMD

As far as I understand, exchanges kinda act as a giant dark pool, and it only adds load to the network when users deposit or withdraw. Robinhood takes it a step further because they don't even issue wallets to individual users or allow deposits/withdrawals. So, they're not making as many transactions on the PoW network, which I guess is better? Regardless, there are tons of other cryptocurrencies that manage to work fine without craploads of power sucking miners. v correct. No idea how often that happens though.

Man, it took me way too long to figure this out, I just couldn't let go of 2020's winning strategy of electric cars, spacs, and spaceships. I miss the +20% days, but at least I'm actually making money now on sector indexes and SPY scalping. I did buy FSLY leaps today though, just because I like the company and have intended to open a position for awhile, but every day I think "eh, it will probably go down more". And I'm sure it will.

Ola posted:If you don't mind me asking, how exactly do you short doge? Borrow it and sell it, CFDs, ETNs? I'm using Kucoin, which has a perpetual futures feature that allows you to short sell (they also have a more traditional short selling option which I haven't tried yet). They will auto liquidate your position once its value gets below the amount of USDT you deposit into your futures/margin account as collateral. and lmao, PLTR and FSLY are the only green stonks I see today. whoda thunk.

Checked the IV on AMC options, lol. So many times I've considered selling CCs on this, and never did because I thought it was too stupid and I'd end up holding a giant bag. Oh well, in for some 6/18 15p. How about one of those short ladder attacks I keep hearing about tomorrow.

Cacafuego posted:It’s not technically an EV, but EV related - What are the collective thoughts around THCB/Microvast? They dropped by about 50% in the SPAC crash earlier this year. IMO their biggest issue is that the merger was handled poorly, creating a lot of uncertainty that it will even happen. Long periods with no news, barely meeting deadlines, and whatever that legal trickery on the last vote was. Ive done alright selling calls on the occasional pop to $13 and buying them back when it inevitably falls back to 11-12. I do think it will do alright once/if the merger is done and the ticker is changed, but after this bumpy ride I won't be too sad if my shares get called away.

gay picnic defence posted:Well yeah, but assuming there are options available there isn’t any other hidden pitfalls with that as a strategy? Check the volume, liquidity can be an issue on LEAPS. And sometimes the bid/ask spread can be huge, and while you might get your order filled at somewhere in the middle, it might actually turn out be a terrible price that you'll never be able to sell it for. If you plan on exercising that's less of an issue, but I tend to avoid any options that don't have a lot of volume.

Cacafuego posted:I had 200 shares of THCB and I believe as of Monday that I'll have 200 shares of MVST (Microvast) as the SPAC merger has completed. I had previously sold a covered call on THCB though for 9/17. Do I still have a CC On TCHB for that date, or do I have a CC for MVST for that date? Basically, does the option carry over to the new merged ticker, or no? from my previous experiences with SPAC ticker changes, I'd expect to have a CC for MVST on Monday.

Umbreon posted:I'm trying to do some additional reading into how taxes work with the strat I'm using. Currently, I buy a bunch of SPY calls that are at least 90 days out, and wait until they have 30 days remaining, and then sell them. This has been a profit every time I've done it, and functionally I do it every two months or so, which should mean that it's being counted as regular income for me since I'm not holding it for a year.
