I didn't know that was a thing, I'll need to look for that. Sounds fun.

 

It's a fun read.

@memario1214 I don't have it bookmarked and am sure you do. Any chance you can save us dealing with the search feature on the site and link it? Yeah, I'm being lazy but I answer way more questions on the site then ask for favors. lol

 

I read this thread every few months when I think about it. I know it would never happen, but screenshotting the posts that got people banned would make it 10x funnier. I understand why that will never happen.

 

hah! That's awesome.

Also, this made it even better this was like 2 posts up from today's shenanigans.

It can get tricky in this thread, because political policy has a huge impact on the market. I try to recognize where the line is. Posting politics on a thread about trucks, that's just dumb.

 

Yep. It's a fine line in this thread. It's all relevant to markets but it's also easy to fall into the my side is better then your side argument.

 

Yup.

"President did a thing about oil and oil markets will reflect it" is a lot different than "I don't like the president"

And even in truck threads. "Tacomas are expensive because of the chicken tax" (Which is political) is a lot different than "I don't like the president because they did a chicken tax" type of thing.

But hey, so many people post pictures of their trucks but have [Political Candidate] bumper stickers, flags, etc. involved. Really comes down to "Do I think I have to say this is not political...." I even said it a few days ago when I talked about TikTok potentially having copyright issues - they might have ripped some code from Snapchat or something, and can't sell the code to a US buyer without coming into a lot of issues for ripping that code. But because they're a Chinese company, that becomes political, potentially.





Hey @TreeFortRichard how are you doing with ZOM? I'm doing terrible. -20%. Otherwise I unfortunately bought high on most of my stuff. SPHD is green but everything else is overall red. Exit points set, but might take a while. I'm almost net zero on XME. Otherwise, everything is red 2-3% or more. And then ZOM red 20%.

And yet, I didn't buy fedex.

 

One last thing, I have also been banned from talking politics with my family, and even my girlfriend. I guess I can still try with my dog, he probably doesn't want to hear it either but just can't object.

 

I haven’t seen anyone in on nvax, but anyone know why it’s up the last couple days or are all the vaccine stocks bouncing back ? I picked some up last week, trying to figure a good selling point.

 

The IPO for SNOW was in the $75 range Monday, then up to $120, now expected to open at $235. Not sure this will work out well for investors.

Wow, doesn’t strike me as leaving much upside in the short term.

bought into NRGU at 3.80 several months ago and missed an opportunity during vacation to sell... held on to long still have a bunch of those. Bought back in to reduce my loss at 1.94, sold today at 2.20. Chipping away my losses!

 

Regretting selling a Oct16 $50 covered call last week. Trying to figure out if the roll out/up thing would be worth it

 

It's not worth it that far out. Wait until it's within 2 days of expiry. If you still need to roll out and up do it then. If you go another month out you should be able to go up quite a bit and still break even for the roll.

 

Yeah my plan was to see how it looked around the end of the month, but this pop took me completely off guard

 

It happens. Rolling is an option. If it's a stock I'm very bullish on (NVDA) I also always keep 2 calls for the same expiry I wrote the covered at. I keep them at a lower strike + premium then the covered strike. That way I loose the covered calls but exercise calls at a lower price. You make money on both trades. As long as the stock goes up you win.

 

shhh!!!!
