Up $20k today in my Investment Account

Bought about $200k in Puts on QQQ today, which is a Tech ETF. Will get destroyed by higher interest rates and withdraw of Federal Reserve Support from markets. Assuming this will keep printing money for at least the next couple months. Hoping for one big drop(like 10% over 2-3 days) then I'll sell.

Wish me luck, boys and girls.

I would not be holding that over night, take the 20k profits and run after hours now, srs

Chit could be green as hell tomorrow like most last week (with pretty much the same news as before)

These don't expire for another 2.5 months, and are 50 cents from being in the money.

Data will determine whether a turnaround happens, and I'll have plenty of time to change course if needed. Ideally, I'm not looking to sell these for at least a month.

Assuming this isn't a LARP, that's an extremely risky play

You are not totally confident in your thinking, this is an easy way to piss $200k down the drain

Even if it works out, managing your money like this will inevitably lead to losses

You want diversification, asymmetric probabilities, and risk management

At that point, managing these sorts of sums, you might as well work for Wall Street or hire someone who does

If you really are some rich DJ dude then would hire a financial advisor, it's still your money to manage how you want

But this way you can get insight from professionals and avoid making risky decisions like these

Risk is unavoidable and important, but it has to be managed very carefully

It's more about preventing losses and surviving than chasing wild gains

I'm an adrenaline junkie and am already guaranteed being wealthy for life.

These types of investments are simply capitalizing of opportunities that I've started to realize after doing this for 3+ years now.

I'm well aware of the risk profile of this investment.

Last two weeks have been good for me besides last few trading days. I mainly said that because I thought his expiration date was much sooner.

But yeah I think we'll have at least a couple green tech days this week. Hopefully tomorrow cuz my tech got wrecked today and I don't see this being red all week, no way.

You are aware but you also put a $200k loss on the line to make 10%

Betting against QQQ is dangerous enough as it is, because it trends upwards

I'm not saying this to make you feel foolish, this stuff is just my job and I've seen this happen

You are better of diversifying into several assymetrical plays with a longer time frame

Good investing is boring, if you are an adrenaline junkie then you are just gambling

People who manage this kinda money with equity derivatives have the insigt/info to invest with confidence

This is more like making a bet for the thrill of it and then trying to rationalize it with strangers online

It's not my money, but I do believe that money is a valuable thing that shouldn't be wasted

They will straight up take your money

Consider also investing in your community

When you give to the poor, you lend to the Lord and He repays

That investment will enrich your life far more than extra $20k if you are already loaded

Just my insight from inside Wall Street, I won't be offended if you ignore it

I made 10% in the first 6 hours of trading. The potential here is much higher. You seem like someone who works for boomers who would jump off a bridge if they lost $10k. That isn't me.

QQQ is a good longterm investment. This isn't a longterm investment. It's a bet that QQQ will drop at least 10-15% in the next couple months.

1. This is not an investment. Its a gamble.

2. Until you realize those gains. Its irrelevant to talk about. Furthermore any 'gains' you make in the market are irrelevant to talk about until January of 2023.

3. There is nothing wrong with gambling and taking wins. But don't pretend like you don't take L's or hold bags too.







I did a lot of active trading in 2020 and it was fun. But IMO buying and holding stocks long term and trading Crypto is a much more profitable play. If I'm going high risk I want to be able to 10-100x my money.

If you have guaranteed "wealth" for life as you claim......then how does $20k get your adrenaline going?!?

The amount of times on the internet and in real life that I scratch my head thinking "does this person not understand they look like a complete clown"........
