fun times.
Lmao yeah. My rule which has made be quite a sad fella more often than not lately is if someone/people are already giddy about their gains it is already too late to buy and join them.

So for $3k/week.. if we're doing some really sketchy math assuming same premiums as PLTR, somewhere around $400-500k?
$90k individual, $50k roth right now

300 shares of ARKW, 300 shares of CRSR, 200 shares of ARKF, 100 shares of AAPL, 100 shares of MSFT

ARKW/CRSR are monthlies, ARKF, APPL, MSFT are weeklies. I averaged my per week premiums based on what I got over the duration of February

two weeks ago I could buy 100 shares of CRSR for $4500 then sell a 15DTE 50C for $400 in premium (~10% ish)

$3k is definitely on the high end, probably closer to $1.5k/week sustainably

looking at your example, with 700 shares of PLTR you should be getting $300 - $1500 weekly depending on IV and strike

also speaking of PLTR, I saw some dude on WSB buy 3000 shares for $90k and then immediately sell 30Cs for 2022 for like $31k. interesting theory but I'm pretty sure those will be deep ITM really easily

Combine the two. I am getting sick premiums on Spacs. They are the absolute best stocks to sell puts on right now

interesting concept, thats more than 30% annual return with relatively low risk and like no effort at all, set it and forget it

my only concern would be FOMO'ing if PLTR is $60/share+ in 2022.

he's selling ATM calls, so premiums are all he has. if the stock goes how I (and lots of people) think it will, he's trading $30k in profit today for potentially $90k in profit long ish term

amc and gme seem to gave a pop every morning - at the end of the day gme is not worth $40-50 and sooner rather than later people is going to end up holding a bag

amc has long term potential tho - if you buy at low 5 then you may end up doubling that down the road

for anyone looking at future speculative plays, check out Graphite (needed for production of steel and lithium batteries for EV) and psychadelics (could be the weed of the future)?

NMGRF
MMEDF
TRUFF
PSYK

etc

I was in them and rode up like 10% then paperhanded out because I didn't wanna hold longterm and couldn't sell covered calls on them

the case for a short squeeze or TSLA style burn is stronger than it has ever been

there are several big events that could catalyst GME up to 300+ again

I think today is just FOMO for people that didn't buy Friday when DFV did, but who knows.

If GME stock jumps 30% in a day, I will buy in with 50% of my portfolio and see what happens

Yeah... no.

Basic statistics demonstrates this wouldn’t even be maintainable in the medium term. The slippage between rotations would be a mess, and slippage would be highest when the conditions for calls being exercised would be most likely as well.

Picked up 1000 AHAC (Humacyte) 3d printing human tissue SPAC

Their former SPAC (DMTK) molecular dermatology ran from $6.50 to $80.

AHAC is a perfect candidate for ARKG

Today's covered call sells:



I think you're not supposed to sell covered calls on red days, but ohwell. no guarantee it wasn't going to keep bleeding. I guess I could have sold half today and half tomorrow

$2,213 added in premiums, all reinvested into AAPL / MSFT / ARKF where I had the highest cost basis relative to strike price

not for CCIV ive been on the stocktwits since 3000 followers, first thread on reddit/spac to get its own dedicated post, attention everywhere. CCIV is going to explode when its announced. It will hit $120 at least, which will make me sick since I originally had 4440 shares at $12.50 and am down to 1000(have sold for a little above $100k in profits)


IF VTIQ NKLA and QS ran hit those levels so can this. I dont even believe in the company, EV are POS IMO and high end EV is a retarded idea. Barely anyone is going to pay $160k for an EV
