Still think TITNC3: Return of the Iceberg was peak

Powell opens his mouth tomorrow AM. Load those puts now.

 

and then FLIP to calls as soon as you close them...

 

I picked up 2 NVDA $160 puts for Friday expiry 45 minutes ago. If Powell flips to dovish tomorrow I'm gonna be pissed. lol

 

wait....
hold the phone...
did you buy a WEEKLY!!!!
I'm picking up a couple SPY $391 puts for 1/11

 

Grabbed 1 just to play along...lose together...lose forever.

 

It's about as sure of a bet as I could find today. It's got a big old fucking gap at $150ish. With Powell speaking and two green days in a row the odds looked good enough. lol

 

Shoulda got them bbby calls last week

 

How much are you up today?

 

I might double up on them. It's banging it's head really hard at $160. I'll wait till the last 15 minutes but if it hasn't broken resistance by then I'll grab a few more.

 

Zero. I never follow my own intuition

 

To be fair who would have guessed a company that announces a possible bankruptcy would jump 30%. lol

They release earnings tomorrow. If they manage to beat I'll be surprised.

 

those long dead $5 $RIOT calls....Hey there cutie!

 

Added some $PTLO today on a buy signal...


and bought another one of those @theesotericone $NVDA negative nellies

 

Interesting...Farmers consider it a win...I consider it a stall tactic to prevent actual legislation...
John Deere will let US farmers repair their own equipment
Jon Fingas

John Deere has been one of the stauncher opponents of right to repair regulation, but it's now willing to make some concessions. Deere & Company has signed a memorandum of understanding with the American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) that lets US farmers and independent repair shops fix equipment, rather than requiring the use of authorized parts and service centers. Users will have access to official diagnostics, manuals, tools and training. Deere will let owners disable electronic locks, and won't bar people from legally obtaining repair resources even if the company no longer offers them.

The agreement includes some protections for the equipment maker. John Deere won't be required to "divulge trade secrets," or to allow repairs that might disable emissions controls, remove safety features or modify power levels. Unsurprisingly, fixes also can't violate the law.

The memorandum is effective as of January 8th, although John Deere didn't detail exactly how or when it would alter its practices. We've asked the company for comment. In a statement, senior VP Dave Gilmore said the company was looking forward to working with customers and the ABFB in the "months and years ahead" to provide repair facilities.

The pact is characterized as a "voluntary" private arrangement. However, it comes alongside mounting political pressure that effectively gave John Deere little choice but to improve repairability. President Biden ordered the Federal Trade Commission to draft right to repair regulation in 2021, while states like New York have passed their own (sometimes weakened) legislation. If Deere doesn't act, it risks legal battles that could limit where and how it does business in the country.

As it stands, the farm equipment maker isn't alone in responding to government action. Apple, Google, Samsung and other tech brands now have do-it-yourself repair programs in place. Microsoft will offer Surface parts to users later this year.

I might end up closing my $SPY Puts before end of day...they're at 77% return right now...

 

RIGHT now $NVDA should start selling off...

 

Dammit...Missed closing my $UNH call this A.M. because I was working...stupid real work...

 

Let's see if it holds VWAP before the days over.

 

This should bleed over to include Tesla as well. They lock their cars down pretty good as well.

 

Another fantastic opportunity
