Jun 20 250 TSLA puts down to $13 (from the $45 I quoted a few pages ago) and continuing to decline as volatility moves lower. Good thing you sold half at the peak!

This is why I stay away from TSLA even though I share your opinion on the company, they have a huge stinker of a quarter but the stock recovers because of the Musk fanboys who take him at his word. Meme stocks cannot be trusted.

Now at $6.50. VIX at 22, so the triple whammy of opposite stock movement, lowering volatility, and time-value erosion. Cut losses, or hold and pray?

With them suspending Y and CT production for a week I think that we might see the reversal of fortunes. Sometimes im early but im usually right. Either way even if they expired 100% worthless selling half at 110% profit means I walk away with a 5% gain
 
yea it's always nice to be playing with the house's money. still, it's even nicer still to make mega bux on a 110% gain while barely lifting a finger! At this point though, if you sell you make 10% and if you hold to zero, you make 5%. So might as well roll the dice. May the odds ever be in your favor.
 
I'm up $9 on the $20 worth of Eth I bought a couple months ago :laughing
 
Im going to spend all week trying to roll my calls on EUAD, DXJ and a few others that are really ripping
 
Contemplating moving $110k in one of my Roths, all in SCHG, to SHLD.

Global X Defense Tech ETF.

I feel a little dirty considering doing that but it is sadly a sign of the times.
 
Not looking forward to the turbulence ahead this week.....
 
Yerp. 5 point harness and helmet on. Buckle up! Added a Cockwomble retardant suit last week.
 
Blue chip doesn't control markets anymore, it's the average idiot to the moon reddit investor, hence the resilience. Whatever happens, it will be less than a quarter of what it should be.
 
Everybody knows of the Trump Penny conclusion: /no more pennies which I’m fine with.
NOW, things tend to be priced at $xx.99. This inevitable forthcoming event/ likely be worse than Y2K.

I mean, banks would keep stocking pennies for many years to come, giving businesses plenty of time to either round up all their prices, or just refuse to accept cash

Eh, the Reddit schmucks probably represent less than 1% of the market. Most are young twits with little net worth. Only time they "drive" anything is when they collude to drive up one particular stock. They wouldn't make a dent in the S&P500.

Yeah I don't mean reddit literally, like when the wife talks about some crazy person on facebook or in the comments section of some article, those get categorized as "youtube comments", meaning the moron masses. That's what I mean with the reddit investor, basically just some idiot. They're now the controlling force of the investor world. And today is a great example. No blue chip investor dumps their stock when gumflappers do gumflapping things even though nothing has actually happened. They would have already priced their investments to compensate for gumflapping and they'd stay the course until some actual piece of data caused them to think otherwise. That old school buffet brain is 0% of what moved tesla's stock today.

Any interest in Dan Ives' ETF IVES? I bought in yesterday (debut), as usual a small position. It has quite a broad spectrum of tech companies. Let's see how it goes.

The big beef between him & Trump is probably staged & pre-planned, to facilitate some nice insider trading amongst their "bros"

Who knows however the suggestion of an Epstein connection moves things into a maybe we’re not friends anymore vibe
