Seems to be huge potential here??

I found Small Cap (A) that lagged Small Cap (B) after market pullbacks. Small cap A often exceeded or met Small Cap B in returns at certain points in time. I wanted to see if the pattern continued. When I bought Small Cap A, it was 40% undervalued in relation to Small Cap B, in my estimate, in Sept 2020. Mid-April 2020 was considered the downturn for them. So 5 months after the pullback it was down 40% where I thought it should be.

Minimum buy in on Vanguard was $10k, so I took the chance. I'm sitting at $16k now. The returns for Small Cap A from Sept 2020 to now, is 15% higher than small Cap B. It's been very volatile lately. But should still have room to grow on a longer time horizon. A longer time horizon shows A still lags B. So I will hold.

Shows you how crazy the $500 bet on AMC truly was. The returns were about the same on $500 vs $10k. I think I made more on AMC, but I'd have to add up those numbers.

AMC was clearly luck, but I at least felt the small cap play was calculated.

Actually, the middle east news dropped SPRT to 14.32-14.35, that was a good opportunity in that range imo. I picked up some more at 14.35. Could drop again at lunch time.




I'm not seeing it with naked, it could run though.

even though this was being pushed as event where they could announce plans to begin reducing buy backs early next year

at moment that narrative has shifted to next months FOMC meeting.

I sold half my position at 17.45(I still have a risky position size imo).


Waiting to see it get past 17.75 and consolidate, then $19.


Do you have a position?



FTDs, such low float this thing zips, shorts are a bit trapped


This is the first stock I've seen in a bit with such a good set up.

yep.

I put in pre order for 5 calls 091721 18 C before going to work Tuesday morning. It filled.

They are now probably around $4.

regret not getting stock too.

because there is no weekly on this decay is not wild atm, the best MM can do is keep adding higher strikes to suppress gamma.

this will be grind I am not certain it will get to $20 I was thinking $15 would be limit.



………….


about gme.

its having trouble getting over $210 and keeping there.

If gme closes over 205-207 I'd be happy.

Still nice with those calls

It's surprised me so far, I didn't expect it to break 15 and hold it either. Saw the 17.50s smack coming.



Curious to see how it pans out.

What's your *******s price target on GME for today. I stopped trading it a while ago but still have one share for fun. Thinking I'll take my last $200+ and split, thoughts?
?

Also anyone trimming SNOW or sell it all?

Sorry for sounding insensitive, but I have an honest noob question: why does market care about war in Afghanistan? What difference does it make on someone ordering something from Amazon in NY? Or some electric car selling in Chicago? Why does SPY go down from an explosion in Kabul?

Instability in region.

Could be going back to war. There is someone in market that instantly wait on this, buy gun stocks , defense etc.

There are algos that are setup exactly for this that second bad news crosses the wire they can put sell pressure on all indices.

SPY, Apple, MSFT all good buys here if you date it out at least 2 weeks. It still has some room to run down but it would be minimal. I could see it pumping premarket and not getting to these prices again or dumping in the morning before V-shaping.

Sure if we get broad market sell off than everything will slide.

But thats different story. Everything will fall.

If we are going sideways PLTR ain't going below $24.

I ain't going to repeat this shiit again. Go back to previous pages where I told you how gamma squeeze works.


SPRT SI is 39%.

Average volume is 7 million daily shares traded since last week volume has gone 80-90 million. Which means its trending for some phuck all reason other than to run at shorts to cover.

Option volume has picked up big time.

$115 million premium has been spent on SPRT ($92 on calls / $22 ish on puts)

There is gamma squeeze on SPRT.

Because SPRT options are monthly expiry this could go on for some time until vol traders come in and shiit on everyone.

Monday the highest option strike was $18C now its $30C.



99/100 you will never see SPRT here

High short interest
High FTDs
Low float
Option flow


If it had a large community backing like GameStop did it could blow up but I find that unlikely. They will probably cover.
