I’ve had the account for less than a month I’d say. It doesn’t look like much interest is being charged day by day. It’s only a matter of a couple of dollars over days or something. But I’m not getting a breakdown of interest rate vs apr or a clear account of how much interest has been incurred. Also I’ve picked up and dropped the stocks a bunch so I’m not sure of process and settlement times.

It seems like a perfectly appropriate avenue to buy dips on given you don’t go under water.

Dang 13% margin expense, pretty much have no choice to beat that rate by doing crazy high risk stuff. Robinhood quoted me 7% I think.

Robinhood margin is between 6% and 8% interest, not bad, since we’re not in an environment these days where you can go to a bank and get 3%, hopefully one day soon we will have such an opportunity again,

I do use Robinhood margin a little bit Such as for selling cash secure puts on stocks I want anyway, which generate at least 1% per week, 56% annualized return, I figure 6% to pay the margin another third or even half to IRS. I’ll be left with about 25 or 30% annual return, which obliterates S&P 500 average , I figure if I cannot get at least 30% return then i may as well just put money in S&P 500 and not worry about it.

I’ve been selling options for so long on clsk that my entire large position is actually almost free, my real cost basis is approaching zero lol

So your 6-8% is an annual percentage rate?

Payo with the 17% gain is feeling good this morning. Egy pop on earnings is decent. I’d rather them hover $6 though tbh lmao.

Tlt sold my $97 puts for $2.40 just now from 1.50 I bought the other day. Still holding the CCs and shares. It probably finds support at $96 and I doubt it goes much lower with cuts coming.

Whats interesting is that on their earnings call they said that their outlook was positive regardless of whether there are rate cuts or not. I'm thinking bigger funds will be piling into this in anticipation

US economy is fine
Market is likely overly optimistic about rate cuts

I've been buying calls all week, not on NVDA lol but on obscure stocks that, probably, no one here has bought this week.

I also sold my puts on BROS with 8/16 expiration and oh boy did I put them boys downs lol.

I think it's still not over but that's cool with me lol.

How does Bros go from $38 before earning to opening at $29 then falling even further to $27?

BROS beat EPS by 50% and revenues by 2%.

Why is this happening to them?

It's possible but the key levels are ~500, ~480 and ~440, I would average in small at each level if I wasn't confident on a target but you must be aware that I could be wrong about ~440 being the absolute low.

By absolute low I mean a low leading to a significant bounce that threatens a return to ATHs or an actual break of ATHs.

If I entered through ~440 and it bounced significantly, I would be scanning for a drop 24/7 to try to get ahead of it.

Bonds going down too fast now. STO $93p for TLT for $1 each on sept monthly.

Payo ended up up 25% yesterday and warrants jumped like 60% which was fun. They’ve got a lot of acquisitions so I’m hoping their combined growth it’ll push with P/E valuation multiple enough to get us over $14 before warrants expireI’ve got about 12,000 warrants and I don’t think they expire till august 2026? Lmao fuk I should look
