Still think TITNC3: Return of the Iceberg was peak

I might have picked up 20 RIOT $11 NOV 15 calls at open. 70% in an hour is not bad. It'll get better though. Lol

 

That's a lot of sentiment driving those!
Don't get trapped with RIOT!!


Good time to be holding $NVDA calls

 

Just sold 8 of the 20 for a 3% gain. The other 12 are free money. And it's almost always a good time to be holding NVDA calls. lol

 

Very odd day because it's at an ATH on 66% volume for the day....

Technicals tell me here is profit...at 15:30

Buuuuttt It's DEC 20 $135....

 

Using today to make any sort of data driven decision in the market is like using the Hindenburg disaster to decide you're never going to eat a taco.

 

Earnings on November 20th. They're going to be fucking off the charts.

 

My math may be wrong but how does 3% on 8 mean free money on 12 others

my 134 December call is chillin

 

I assumed he made a TyPo....
Or is just not as good a mafs as we thought.

 

Whoa what happened to the Hindenburg?? Did I miss something while I was at a lunch....enjoying tacos...

 

Teaching math to a college kid. And @TreeFortRichard apparently. lol

Bought at $0.56.

$0.56 x 100 = $56

$56 x 20 = $1120 total invested.

Sold at $1.44 6 hours later.

$1.44 x 100 = $144

$144 x 8 = $1152

1152 / 1120 = 1.0285

Now you see I still have 12 calls. My initial capital plus 2.85% is safe and sound.

 

Ah, that didn't seem clear in your post. It looked like you had $57.83x8=$488 1.03% you make $14.64

 

we need our english major to verify that the way it was worded, the 3% wasn't specified as total gain. I interpreted as 3% gain per contract on the ones you sold cus I don't pay attention to RIOT's ticker or contracts.

I expected larger from MSTR given the randomness earlier in the month.

I bought 2 PYPL calls yesterday. Appears COIN was the correct transaction system to buy.. my shares still caught the bump at least?

 

It could have been worded better for sure. lol

 

So my target for the $135 $NVDA calls? $150 by expiration...Let's just say presently exceeding expectations...

 

I’ve tightened my trailing stop to 15% ish cus I’m happy where it’s at right now. Won’t be upset if it goes down 20% then I miss on an extra 60%

 

I think the volatility of earnings might keep more value in calls over the next 2 weeks...
Move is probably to sell just before earnings and then gamble a little of the profits on leaps...
OR buy a couple $170 11/22 calls right now for $100-120....on the chance it taps $175 buy then...OR just to capture more volatility cash

 

Which GAS powerplant 1500/2500 do I want if I'm going to buy my parents' travel trailer? 20' trailer, figure maybe 8k lbs wet

Budget: About $45k and I'm keeping the taco. I've traded in too many vehicles that I've regretted letting go.

My short list is:

2020+ F150 3.5 ecoboost
2021+ F250 6.8
2020+ F350 7.3 gozirra
2017+ RAM 1500 5.7
2017+ RAM 2500 6.4

No GM products, I won't buy one on general principle. I also really don't want a RAM now that they're owned by stellantis, but I really liked my '11 '1500.

"You should get a diesel!"
I don't want a diesel

"But get a dies.."

NO FUCKING DIESEL

Also, no Tundra. They're outdated, get worse mileage with their 5.7 vs the RAM, and way overpriced relative to the competition in the same year group.

 

if you're considering the 3.5 eco boost you may as well consider the 3.5 tundra. its the same turbo i believe and you'll have more value long term with the tundra.


but if those are your absolute only considerations then id go with the 6.8

 

My vote would be this. That 3.5 has been great.

only concern is the towing capacity if it's 8k wet. If it's a time or two here and there, fine. If it's like, every weekend for 200 miles each way+, then you might want something a bit more than that. But if the F150 can handle it, I'd stay with that size. Getting bigger is just asking for heavier maintenance bills (literally, heavier), and the 3.5 has been a great engine for a lot of people. If I was getting a new truck today I'd be looking at the 2.7 or 3.5 depending what I wanted to tow, but really wanting the 3.3 NA V6 they killed off for 2024 (2023?).

 

If keeping the Taco and mainly buying it to pull that trailer, of the choices you listed I would do the F250.
