1) Market took a dive due to a spike in bond yields
2) Bond yields are spiking because markets are dumping bonds
3) Markets are dumping bonds because of inflation fears, which would lead to the Fed hiking rates
4) Inflation fears are due to how much money has been pumped into the system over the past year
5) A new stimulus would increase that money supply, right before the economy fully reopens
6) Back to step 1?

I'm bearish on this chit but these companies have had insane runs and are still almost at all-time highs, Intel is the only one that looks reasonable and even it had dipped to like $44 recently. Maybe these are good valuations, but calling it a discount seems like a stretch when these are up +100-300% in less than a year
Intel hasn't even recovered from March 2000 yet

Nah, I'm keeping it. I'm actually planning to buy one more as well. My finances are in good shape, just pissed I didn't pull out sooner. I'll make back the $16k and more, assuming we're not going into a bear market.
Bruh, there's some legitimate long term concern on watch valuation, most ballers I know even just go straight with an Apple watch. They haven't liquidated their collections, but it's not the same anymore and it's a building trend.

Personally, I have a few cheap quality watches like Timex and a couple Movados because I like the aesthetic.

Doubtful. Just the same kind of volatility we've been seeing every couple months after a massive runup. We saw an even bigger correction in September, and look at where we're at now. The market has been in a constant state of worry for the past year because no one wants to be caught standing when the music stops, but I don't think this is it.

Sold 80k shares of AWGI yesterday to "buy the dip" on XMET when everyone said the R/S document was fake. Was about $500 worth. Planned on buying back into AWGI by adding between now and Wednesday.

Today AWGI went up 80% and XMET dipped even further. I may not be able to even get my original 80k shares back of AWGI without paying triple the price. Fukking want to die right now.

I got $50.50 in XMET. That’s probably why it crashed.

For sure, that’s reasonable. Also, still a good hold of value, that and guns.

People in here are becoming panicky weirdos. The market did this exact same thing in June, Sept, Oct and Jan. Not every day is going to be green.

Yea today was meh/10 bought some GO since I shop there a lot, it’s busy all the time and they’re growing, peep the revenue growth.

Also a lot of their products they get for nothing since they are overstock or label change or seasonal change items, huge profit margin.

See chit their for .99 that sells for 4.99 at Whole Foods

Is there any point in signing up for thetagang website? Besides being able to post your own trades?

Seems like it's just a long wall of randoms posting trades they setup.

Exactly. Hurts more though since we all have larger accounts now, and many of us are taking on more risk now (well, I am).

Was down 10% today because I'm mostly in growth stocks, and even my "safe" theta plays are getting killed because the puts I sold are now in or almost in the money. They expire 3/19 though, so I still got time.

Worse. You can take a look at the charts.

Futures are looking ugly tonight though, and if support breaks we might see another September.
