MF really compared me to a hamster instead of just saying congrats, I’m flabbergasted

[kusok]

Here is an interesting one, statistically 7 out of 10 retail investors are red, yet according to this thread 100% of investors here are hugely profitable with minimal returns of 25% per year (beating Warren buffet) and on the higher end we got people here claiming they have made $5 million on a single trade. Hmm…

In related news this is misc. everyone here has a 19 inch cawk, is 6’5 270lbs with abs, and slays a harem of 10/10 hoes. lol

Up like 700% on some of my NVDA shares...nice to "feel" rich for now.

Lmao @ salty people who haven't been riding the NVDA train for the last 5 years (since 2017 for me) . If someone can find my post from 4 or 5 years ago when I was called retarded for saying it would be the biggest company on the planet by market cap- will rep for life.

And also, it isn't irrational exuberance when you actually look at their revenue growth, profit margins, income growth y/y..... Not exactly risky to buy a company that mogs this hard.

[BuckNakedinBama]

Joke is on me for selling my 200 shares NVDA at 197...

Can't go broke making a profit, but still... damn.

[kusok]

It’s really interesting that everybody everywhere talks about Nvidia, but when Nvidia was like $300, microstrategy was like 150 bucks, now strategy is 1600, and nvda probably not gonna go anywhere for a while after the insane run up and valuation and RSI of 80 or whatever and forward pe of 100 or whatever it is today, microstrategy is Easily another 30% from here in the next few weeks, probably another 4x or 5x long-term, we don’t even know.

I own 0 shares of NVDA but I've made a profit buying calls whether it's long or short duration, I carry no downside risk, you carry a lot if you need cash in a pinch or if you borrow against your shares.

I'm the guy that told Kusok NVDA was too expensive but will go above 1K and me buying puts on NVDA is not a reflection of my thoughts on NVDA.

I'm buying them no later than 07/19, I said it's dangerous and that I expect NVDA to go above w/e high it's about to put in, I'm not a bear yet.

Lol.

Brah NVDA is not cheap wtf?

That said, I think NVDA goes over 1K this year.

I posted that March 8th after NVDA topped out at ~$975 lol now here we are and I'm probably about to buy puts

A 2 or 3 fund portfolio with countercyclical stocks is always a good idea.

PLTR finally moving make that 46 percent 1 year return for this hamster sir

are you dick waving? My hamster has been buying Solana at $10-$20, it’s almost $200 now, I tried to tell him to sell some and take profits, but the mother****er won’t listen. I’m flabbergasted. How many percent is that sir?

[usersignup2]

I know you guys are just joking around but I almost never worry about % gain. The worst (funniest) are the option guys who talk about making X% on a trade. 50% on a $500 trade is only $250, not bad but can you replicate it repeatedly and consistently? Of course not, because if you could, you'd be trading 50k not 500.

The thing about people hyping % gains is it's usually relative to position size. If you had conviction, your position would be much larger. You won't normally hear of someone betting 50k on a long shot but it's very common for someone to have that much in an etf or blue chip. What's better, 50% gain on $500 or 5% gain on 50k?

Hopefully everyone makes money regardless but remember, the paper gains are fleeting.

GL to everyone. No hate.

I watch 100s of stocks daily, I won't commit a large percentage of my bankroll on any one play unless I'm buying stock that pays a fat, safe dividend.

Last week I posted puts I sold on 3< different stocks, I do this to spread my risk instead of putting all the money into one instrument.

I don't post all my trades but I have sold about 20 different puts in the last couple weeks over varying expirations.



I know you talk about the ills of diversification and you prefer to play a small number of high conviction plays.



Neither is right or wrong, it depends on your style and overall risk profile, gl on your trades.

Stock is ideally a long term thing. Percentage rates are good for consistency and the perception of the gains are much more consistent as the duration goes on.

Investment wise if you can make more money sooner then not a court in the land will convict you, but owning a company is a separate concept.

Agreed, what is the point of announcing your shorting it, def giving them more fuel. I just need AMC to make it to 7$ and I’m out
