Just sitting here patiently waiting for WBA to drop dividend to $0.01 so they can continue their streak of always paying dividends and yet save a truckload of money before I buy all the calls. Hard to do though.

Scrilla how sad on scale of 1-10 are you that you sold your Rilyl? Lmao I bought 100 Rilyt this morning too and started buying commons at $6.25 because smart money is hammering preferred and bonds right now. This is gonna pop once shorts try to cover I think.

Almost up x2 already on initial pref buy.

Edit: sold preferred to limit my exposure. Got 300 commons 100 rilyt and I did sell 1 CC at $7 for $1.10

Rebought 100 rilyp for $10.40

Might rebuy the other 200 at $10 if possible.

Edit: doing everything I can to not use all free cash to buy Rily commons. 80% short interest this baby is gonna squeeze hard with positive news.

I'm a little bummed tbh lol. Like 7/10 sad, but as long as I don't lose money I'm good. Legit thought it was gonna crash to like 4 USD or something. Still feels risky af

Still is. Always feels better when you get to the point your holding is 30-60% house money. Would have never bought common shares if that wasn’t the case. Could still go under at some point in the near future or whenever they announce their awful quarterly earnings. Just hoping for a squeeze tonight or tomorrow before that happens.

On my list, I've been looking at it lately to either buy a put or call but I'm undecided, the day after I put it on watch it tanked lol.

I was talking about LUMN lol nvm.

I'll take a look at LUNR.

Price of tea in China tho?

by the way, just to note, if you bought a stock and it went down or up it does not mean that you were right or wrong.

I was just saying, market optimism is always warranted, as shown by history.

I’ve got till 2026. No rush.

I did sell my rilyp unwilling to risk any craziness. I was keeping a close eye on the bond pricing too. Whole thing seems sketchy

The rate cut optimism has been wrong this whole way through and continues to be wrong today. The stock market is fine, it should be up because the US economy is strong af.

Pessimism is what helps you you patiently seek out value, it’s not like I’m short anything. Euphoria is the enemy.

I laughed hard when I saw that but Got a feeling more things will go this route in the future as company’s try to get every single penny from the consumer that they can. Used car, used video game, used air fryer, one time activation fee.

I remember Microsoft during Xbox One wanted to kill the used secondary market on games and it backfired pretty badly for them and they changed their mind after the backlash

Fuark dump eet

They also have 3million people paying $44/month from their own homes for training subscriptions. Gotta get a good CEO in there and then you’d think there would be plenty of upside potential, maybe they can steal the new one from Starbucks.

The question we should be asking is how much worse can it get for a company valued at $1.7b even after this rally. Bankruptcy would be worse, that doesn’t seem like a huge risk right now.

That screenshot was unusual option flow for PTONon that date, 2 days before earnings. 800k bought for Sep20 3.50calls. Would be up close to 175% so about 1.2M. I piggy backed off those.

Lots of call volume came in today for Jan 2025 at $9.00, $12.00 and $15.00. Someone is bagholding 30k $10 call contracts for same date so I think there's a good chance price continues to move upwards
