I was gonna sell poots on wish today but then looked at their earnings report and its really bad and the points carbonfire brought about this business on this page supports my reconsideration on this move of staying away


however I might still do it if it dips below 7 again, love bottom plays

market is entering over extended range again.

there have been pull backs every single month so far this year

spy is going on 25 trading days without any decent pull back

imo don't go all in buying balls deep there could be cheaper entry coming

did you really buy RKT calls yesterday when IV was high?

move on RKT was right in line with options +/- implied move.

Theta decay will kill me quick on puts if this thing doesn't drop quickly in the short term. It would have to drop as fast as it rose..

I think Carbon was right regarding past run ups, those were flukes which is why there was such a strong selloff, but now.. not sure that's the case, even though momentum is still high right now. Time will tell I suppose.

If I do buy, it will be far OTM, like $175 or so
You can always short shares instead if worried about theta.

You can always put a stop loss on what you're willing to risk, unless it booms overnight then you're screwed.

Gjdm.

Currently 100 @ $77.

I have. Technical analysis seems like it worked easily in the 1970s/1980s. There's a lot of technical traders in the 'market wizards' series of interviews. I'm a lifetime loser on technical plays; I think the vast majority of techies are.

I don't do options, why should I? Just a headache that appears to be a zero-sum game after you factor in how much mental energy goes into it.

Brain dead obvious stocks: revenue growth, scalability, founder is CEO .... Simple af.

Buy without margin. As of today I'm averaging 40% over the last 4 years just doing that (thanks upst LOL). Sitting on your hands is easy this way

Last thing: sit with a compound interest calculator and learn how fuarkin powerful it is.

$1,000 today @40% annual gains would be $700,000,000 in 40 years lmao. @20% (Buffett's average) it would be $1,470,000

Be reasonable about your annual expectation with the understanding that a long runway is the key.

They’re not that complicated. Sounds like you had a negative experience.

If you’re averaging 40% year after year then keep doing what you’re doing though.

Just reading this thread is evidence enough.

I've never bought/sold a single option. Watched some tutorials on it and was just like....... nah.

While you're right about compound interest being powerful, you're going to average 12% per year for the rest of your life, much less 40%, homie

That's my point lol.

The rule of 72 dispells any idea that optioncels think they're going to triple their money on any consistent basis.

Reps for knowing rule of 72. I doubt more than 5 other people who have ever responded to this thread know about it.
