It's funny when I mentioned I sold it started dropping... its like it doesn't take too many people with the same idea to really push prices either up or down

Well my netflix iron condor of course went bust.
I knew I shouldn't have played it because last earnings it was volatile(dropped hard)
Never over leveraged on this tho. Will lose about 500.

My baba 260 cc is bust too

Some iron butterflies on DFS and UAL next.

Also opened some call debit spreads on apple for earnings. Seemed like a no Brainer. Already been up and still have IV ramp up coming.


Overall ok green day.

So an Iron Condor is basically a put credit spread, and a call credit spread at the same time right?

fukkin chit, Cramer on mad money just said that soon over 2.3 million undocumented "immigrants" will be able to come out of the shadows, and apply for a loan for a home... I don't even know where to begin...

Anyways, speaking of theta, yesterday and today were glorious for me. I have multiple things expiring 1/29, including my ever so entertaining TSLA plays. I cannot wait to just be done with that (but looks like I will be repeating the same thing in February...)

Nice play. I swing trade written puts as well. But the damn capital. But probably a good thing. Don't want to be on the wrong side of a bunch of sold puts

It became harder during trump administration because fha made it so non citizens couldn't apply for fha loan. But that should probably change with biden.

Not sure about the refining side, and it's not great for TC Energy as a company

But I'll give you some insider insight from someone who is in O&G and was just working on that pipeline: Canadian oil companies don't actually need Keystone XL. We have shovels in the ground for TransMountain and the Line 3 replacement, and those two pipelines might be the last we ever need

lol. I don't post too much on "will stonks go up or down" because nobody really knows anything and I don't like to talk too much about something I don't know well enough. I have a pretty fair understanding of options and theta plays, at least I think I do, so it's an area I'm more comfortable commenting on. I'm much more of contrarian trader or focused on options, otherwise I'm just playing the long game in indexes, so don't really have a lot to say unless something really sticks out. Like thinking GME mooning didn't make sense.


Speaking of, I guess since I posted about my naked $40 call in GME the other day, I should update in case any one cares. My break even got tested yesterday so I sold a $35 put against it for $6.05. Total credit is at $11.05 for the 35-40 strangle.

repped as always.

FWIW, after I got stuck with RKT for 6 months, I decided to stop trying to trade my way to success, and focus on what was far more interesting and entertaining for me which is options. And I have been appreciative of the knowledge you have shared with me since I began that journey. Would like to see more people post in here with their options plays, specifically managing the, etc, because I don't think my original idea for an options thread will come to fruition.

For anyone curious, my 1/29 TSLA play can be viewed below. Disclaimer, I would not advise anyone else to handle a position like this...

Yes and no.

With Transmountain + Line 3 expansions we currently have enough capacity for what we generate.

However, with out new access to markets or increased capacity, this will stifle investments in Canadian projects. If they can't get the product out they won't build the projects.

The days of oilsands mega-projects are over :'(

The developed world is trying to move away from fossil fuels regardless so it seems unlikely we'd need massive production increases unless heavy crude demand continues to grow in Asia, and then I think we'd want pipelines to tidewater instead of the US

Nice! I'm guessing you bought the call a long time before the puts huh

I'd post in the option thread though. I've got quite a few oil calls and CCIV calls. Sold a couple other things I posted ITT. Might de-clutter this thread a little bit.

If I end up with more free time somewhere, I might just start it up then. Between work and German night classes, I just don't have much time to commit to anything extra...

And yup, I opened the calls back in early december iirc, and thought the pump would die down. It kept growing lol. I actually sold puts 3 times along the way that all expired for full profit. I thought for sure the $800CSP would take care of the position, but nope! So added the $900 leg...

I can understand if you don't want to answer, but what kind of money/career do you need/have to move to Vienna? I've been curious about moving to Europe as well but my profession isn't paid as well down there. I also don't have six figures saved up yet (hopefully by end of year).

Oh both the wife and I would have to abandon our careers lol. I’m an asset manager and she’s an attorney. I have to be close to my clients assets as well as be available to assist with acquisitions. So that’s not realistic.

Basically I’m trying to get enough passive income going to subsidize our lifestyle while pursuing labors of love. Specifically I want to open Jiu jitsu school and teach.

Edit didn’t answer the question fully. I’m not totally sure about how much is needed, but we could probably get by on $50k usd annually and being frugal. But this doesn’t leave much room for us to pursue starting something up.
