Looked at the volume on a bunch of spacs. Volume is literally almost nothing. Entire SPAC market is a dam ghost town rn LOL

It started affecting my real job because I just couldnt take seeing so much of my account getting destroyed even after what seemed to be the bottom.
I guess I’m not too bummed because I still exited with a 55% gain on my initial investment. But at my all time high I was at 240% gain.
There is always more money to be made.

I'm sitting on $143k mortgage debt at 3% on a 40 year lol. I don't see any point paying off my house anytime in the next few years. Inflation will be my friend.

I'd say that was a pretty good risk minimizing move considering where it's at now. Could have bought it today and yesterday for a new position and still bank in the next 2-3 years.
I went from up 276% and now up 14% lmao.

Honestly FTOC 5/21 $10C for $25/contract seems pretty good. Could easily double assuming we get something of a bounce or some sort of news in the next month or so.

Gotcha, then makes sense why it you put it in the market rather than paying off debt. That's not much, I would have done the same.

Would be sweet if Biden started chipping away at that, although I wouldn't exactly vote for that. Would rather pay it down myself since I put myself there. I'm not paying anything more than the minimum though, will let inflation whittle that down over time

I don't mean to come back when prices are better, but when the market stops yo-yoing every day.
So the first issue is that I lost all my 2021 gains. That was partly my own fault with how I managed the situation, and partly due to the market itself. I thought I was making safe choices by going deep into SPACs since the floor is $10, but I never thought the market would actually get so bad that we end up at $9.70-$9.80 for so many SPACs.
What pushed me over the edge was constantly seeing red for months on end. I had maybe 10-15 open positions and every day I would see loss, loss, and more loss. This is while I was sitting on margin. I was dumbfounded to wake up seeing -2%, -5%, -6%, etc so many times. And the reason that happened was because every other day or every few days we would go back in the green, only to go back in the red again. Psychologically messed with me.
Anyways, the reason I'm done for now is because I've started dipping into money that I can't afford to lose. If interest rates do rise to a significant extent, I can't afford to lose when the big guys pull out. It started affecting my ability to focus at work as well, so I need a break.
In 3 months I'll have cleared all my debt or within $5k left, and at that point I'll probably start adding.
Edit: I am thinking about leaving $5k in there and just playing it safe with covered calls. Better than nothing I suppose? I still think PSFE will do well during earnings in a few weeks, and that MARA will recover eventually.

Margin is tricky, I was curious how much I was being charged a month back and combed through my statements and it was not even close to $150/month.. more like $15, so I thought eh no big deal, there must be some complex math behind it, like how certain stocks require more margin than others. Had no idea I was actually paying that much.
I'm still trading on my dad's account, and tbh that's so much more relaxing. No worries if chit dips, because he doesn't need the money back anytime soon. That's how it should be done, I goofed trading on debt money + margin lmao.
I'll have to look into PMCCs. Seems complex from a cursory look but it probably isn't.

. Ideally all my warrants are going to become the long leg on my PMCCs once the PRE-DA companies I'm holding merge. Would be HNNNNNG if I can just hold these fukers I'm buying at 70-99 cents a warrant and eventually sell $12.5, $15, or $17 CC against them and basically make my warrant purchase money back every freakin month for up to 3-5 years

TDA rates vary based on the amount of margin being used, but let's just say you had $25k on margin, it would be 9%. So every day it's on margin, you are being charge $6.25, so $150 would take 24 days of $25k being on margin.
as for PMCC's, to make it as simple as possible there are two ways to go about it depending on your style and ability to manage.
Spoiler!
1) buydeepITM LEAPs. What I would look for is a price point around half of what it's trading at, because you are as close to the trading value as possible at that point, and you are getting "twice" as much leverage than just the shares. This is safer because at expiration of the long position, there is a better chance your option will still have value and youcouldexercise.
2) go hella aggressive and buy ATM LEAPs. Should be able to get 3 times as many for roughly the same price. Downside is if you chose a sideways trading stock, the long will lose value progressively quicker and will most likely result in a worthless long position. BUT you can farm and farm and farm premiums and basically work with the knowledge of the long being worthless, but you are collecting all the short premiums. This requires a good amount of management. I am doing this with RKT currently, but may have been overly aggressive. Time will tell.

as for PMCC's, to make it as simple as possible there are two ways to go about it depending on your style and ability to manage.
Spoiler!
1) buydeepITM LEAPs. What I would look for is a price point around half of what it's trading at, because you are as close to the trading value as possible at that point, and you are getting "twice" as much leverage than just the shares. This is safer because at expiration of the long position, there is a better chance your option will still have value and youcouldexercise.
2) go hella aggressive and buy ATM LEAPs. Should be able to get 3 times as many for roughly the same price. Downside is if you chose a sideways trading stock, the long will lose value progressively quicker and will most likely result in a worthless long position. BUT you can farm and farm and farm premiums and basically work with the knowledge of the long being worthless, but you are collecting all the short premiums. This requires a good amount of management. I am doing this with RKT currently, but may have been overly aggressive. Time will tell.

My main concern is that obviously "ITM" with warrants means the underlying has to be at least $11.5 for them to start having intrinsic value. So I don't think I could dare sell $10 CCs because I could get wrecked on those I think... otherwise I think I should be good assuming $12.5 are somewhat close to the current common price

Just crazy if you had a few shares of DOGE you would have made triple digits since last year!
But crypto is getting mighty popular. With the stock market being butchered it doesn't really bode well for new young investors, they will probably head to crypto instead!

The fact he wrote alllllll that up and at the end his conclusion was "Buy GME" is mostly retarded. The fact of the matter is there is more money in our system and more liquidity than ever before. Money is legitimately becoming more and more worthless each day and it is noticeable EVERYWHERE. Everything is about to get a lot more expensive to buy and no one even cares because there are more dollars in their bank accounts than they've had in the previous few years and they feel comfortable. So he is partially right that buying equities is probably smart, but I'd rather buy profitable or big growth companies instead of GME.What do you guys think of this thread?

Has less to do with GME and more to do with market collapse

But seriously have you tried to book a flight in the last few months? Go book a flight you've made in the last 2-3 years and see how the price compares to previous. I promise it probably costs 2-3x whatever you used to pay for it.
Go order food somewhere. I used to get Qdoba and I think it used to cost like $8 for a meal and now its almost $10.
Do you enjoy powersports? Try and buy a new or used dirt bike, boat, jetski, RV, or snowmobile. All prices have gone up across the board.
Like buying vehicles? Try buying a used car or truck prices have been going up for the last year or so for used vehicles. There is a thread in the automotive section about it. There are a ton of people in there that have noticed it as well.
If anything this at least makes me more confident that new companies coming to market are going to run up fairly hard so as long as the SPAC management teams can get a moderately good valuation SPACs should continue to remain viable for the foreseeable future.

Hmmm Gik merger approved so ZEV is going to be the new ticker within the next 30 days. IMO there is big potential for those $10 calls... 30% of shares got redeemed
