Hey, you made some $$. Last time i just set orders for dips but paid attention for a few days to see if there was momentum up. They all ended up hitting over the course of a week. But also...see below.

I actually nailed it (sort of) a few weeks ago. Both BTC and ETH ran up, i cashed out for a week, then bought in when all of crypto was red again. But not sure if i should push my luck.

Everyone at my work and all the normies are now talking about crypto. That’s the new hot chit around town. Actual stock market is gonna be suffering cuz of the insane rotation over to cryptocurrency.

Not touching that chit especially when I had like 9 bitcoins 6-7 years ago when I was like 13-14 and into those weird black hat forums lmao. Ended up losing it all gambling. Chit woulda been worth $500k now. Kick myself thinking about it all the time fuuuuuuuk.


Hope this is just another 2017-18 phase and chit can get back to normal sometime soon.

Dumb question inbound.

Why is PLTR manipulated so much? Srs question. What do institutions have to gain from this? Are they slowly trying to load up big? Selling covered calls? Genuinely don’t get it.

tip

don't do anything for first hour

this could drill harder or start to recover


usually start of new month buying starts with pension funds being put to work.

not happening atm so just sit on your hands.



QQQ from previous page that I posted all that put flow looks like someone got it right.



also PLTR really? the market is selling off and asking if its manipulated.

Biden’s economy...Even puts aren’t that good. This is just a low volume crabbing bleed out. If it went down bigly then we could at least profit

And why would you buy puts as "safety" if you're liquidating?
You get much more returns from buying puts than selling covered calls. Hence why i consider it better hedging.
That was the intended purpose of puts.

It's mostly weekly options that expire worthless but if you buy itm and give yourself a week or two out you can be very profitable

And let's be honest it's been a **** past few months for majority of stocks. The indexes have been performing well. But everything else not well.

Here’s what happened to me in March.

See that peak to trough? That was a real fkn tough pill to swallow, especially if you knew just how much that was that I “lost” in a single week... I did a combo of adapt my trading style and wait to get back to where I am today. Some stuff still hasn’t recovered (looking at you, every single ARK ETF...) but I’m just writing dog chit call after dog chit call on those lol
Hey how did clowning on WFC in the low $20's and VALE work out? lmao, sorry couldn't resist.

I had a pretty epic fuk up on palantir calls recently leading up to the most recent demo day. Loss was an insignificant portion of my equity holdings, but it was a fantastic fireball.

No chit it’s better returns but if you’re liquidating why would you buy puts to “hedge?” Makes zero sense lol. Also you still haven’t explained how spending money on something that will expire worthless 90% of the time is “safer” than a covered call...

PLTR is long term stock that needs time.


Also I dunno maybe because you're obsessed with PLTR and when you get wrecked by weekly PLTR calls you say next time I will time it right.

Might as well go to casino and play black jack you would have better odds.


PLTR has not made profit yet, if they don't do it this quarter market will sell it off again.

PLTR is top 5 wsb favorite stock, week in and out they just keep buying calls on it hoping it will work.

If hedge fund wanted to short it what do you think they would pick?

Look at pltr chart for last 3 months after gamma squeeze. What did it do nothing. Now go look at RKT chart. Look familiar? Both are perfect meme stocks for short term to phuck around retail with.

See this is a good response, appreciated.

So what should one do in this case? Just buy shares? Or puts? Covered calls?

When is a good sign to do weeklies? It’s almost below $21 I believe it hasn’t hit this low since last year. Might toss like $100 bucks on weeklies one last time.

What are your thoughts on monthlies or Jan 2023 calls?
