**OFFICIAL** Trading and Investing Thread: Part XVI -- BAG HOLDING EDITION

[Lefticle]

Ya'll remember when Venom called a 40k DOW?

Where did he go?

I miss brother venom

[TugOfPeace]

Decided to make a dumbass move and buy a $1000C NVDA near close. Of course it will tank now.

Edit: closed this at breakeven, seems like the stock is being pinned to kill calls/puts

I bought 215 shares of Google last week at $138 for a lifetime stock, not doing too bad so far

getting skin back in the game

Nice. I didn't commit quite that much but I did increase my position size by more than 10% at $134.

[Harry362]

How's RKT doing lately?

[2020Wellness]

Cramer said DJT is overvalued. Moon time!

[TugOfPeace]

I opened a CSP on SOXL.. closed it early. That stonk is more volatile than UPST, no thx jeff.

Market is weird right now, don't see any moves to make.. might sit on the sidelines a bit

[Carbonfibre]

nothing to be alarmed about


every quarter pensions have to balance their holdings

there is certain weights that are assigned and some stuff if they are holding too long (in this case bit of tech)

they had to cut and buy bonds



means nothing about overall market / since nothing stops them next week from buying dip.

…

Btc going to 100k-1mil, PLTR steady climb to 10x or more, tesla to double by end of year. Premiums on ENPH massive - free money weekly, bitfarms an easy dip buy and sell when it hits $4 aka double your money etc.

Misc: no moves to make.

Brah…

DJT the scammiest ****co despac just hit the market at 6x their $10 “ipo” price and you aren’t shorting it.

[Carbonfibre]

I dunno when that lockup opens for Trump so he can dump shares.....but when he starts dumping DJT shares it will make Nikola stock look like legit stock.

DJT is valued at $15B with $3 million in revenue.

They lost $15 million this year.

Stock is 100 percent setup to fund his legal investigation.



Think something like $2-5 stock in few months.



Company that helped setup this stock is China scam company too.



I seriously hope nobody is thinking this is real investment DJT.

Same with reddit. Will never ever make profit.

Looking for advise...

Outside of my main long term, dont touch for 25 years, keep buying more every week investments, I've started dabbling in swing trading with a little bit of money just to try and boost/make gains that I can lock in, rinse & repeat.

My 1st play was Exxon....picked up 45 shares for $99 a couple months back.....it's at $115 (might even hit $116) today. My question is this...... Earnings are on 04/03 and being that I am up about 15-16% and earnings are real close, should I just sell and move on or hold on to it through earnings? Not sure how they're going to go and I'd rather lock in gains than potentially take a big hit or miss out on another $100 bucks.

Thanks boyos.

Oil & gas companies have been very good to me just through holding, you’re getting 4%+ dividends and these companies are absolutely taking in the cash with oil at $70+.

I don’t know Exxon specifically but would expect them to hold or raise dividends, announce more buybacks, etc.

Also don’t see what will drop oil prices any time soon, feels like there’s a lot more risk to the upside but who knows

Preciate it man.

Yea, the dividends are nice and that's how I've chosen to allocate my ETF investments, to go heavy into high dividend payers and re-invest. I've gone back and forth with the idea of turning XOM into a longer term hold and buy more weekly just for the dividends but am also trying to mentally stick to a "strategy" hence wanting to dump it and lock in a 15% return.

I guess Ill hold through earnings and if it takes a drop, just pick up more and turn it into a long hold and collect those divys.

Still holding EGY even though I’m underwater on a bunch of calls I wrote at $6 ayy lmao. That’s ok between dividends and rolling I’ll probably manage to roll out profitably. Funny I sold $4 and $5 CSPs not that long ago

I just bought back into oil (TALO) oil above $70 means companies make good money, oil above 80 and they make great money. TALO is my largest holding, I made good money earlier this quarter on EOG.

Also PSA DJT is probably going to be trading sub $20 by June. You have been made aware. Gamble at your own risk

there's this off chance in my mind that Trump could get elected and post his updates exclusively on his app.. would direct a ton of traffic there not to mention advertising

Who cares. SPAC mechanics will cause massive dilution and I am unsure retail can hold it up once warrants can be exchanged to shares, earn out shares are granted, and majority ownership unlock happens. This will have fizzled out before election time.

Edit: Perhaps I am wrong and it can be GME 2.0, but I am somewhat doubtful. I think a lot of those idiots leaned blue so I think alienating a bunch of idiots could prevent that from happening.


Edit2: Anyone look at WBA earnings? How did anyone read that and think maybe I should go buy some? $6.5B loss taken on their villageMD purchase lmao. Those people are idiots and they’ll end up going under sooner than later. No one wants to shop there when their prices are 50% higher than any other grocery store.

Someone on WSB posted about PAA calls being dirt cheap for jan/25 so I got some 20c for 0.25. They're up 70% overnight lol. It's a midstream O&G. There's some other ones that also have pennies for calls. Just holding stonks, this one pays over 7% divvies if options are too risky.

The Put premiums are insane, tempted to get in

[RobParks2M]

The Put premiums are insane, tempted to get in

They are trash if you hold further out than april monthlies. I bought a few to simply gain exposure in case they plummet. I overpaid for my first put, but the ones I got today were a lot more reasonable. Again, I doubt I’ll get crazy $$$ from these, but once I can safely acquire may or June monthlies at better prices there could be big gains to be found. IV will likely be dropping over the next couple weeks. May monthlies unlikely to be playable until after April expires.

[RobParks2M]

Isn't it the case that Trump can't drop his position for another six months? Why'd you buy for April?

For the exact reason in the post you quoted. It’s still a meme stock and it’s a chit tier company. Shorts could easily push this thing down with relative ease at any time so I chose to get some exposure.

Trump can earn 40m in shares within 30 days of opening day if they stay above $17.50 and those shares are not subject to lock up. They can call in warrants after they’ve been trading above $20 for 20 of the last 30 trading days and once they are registered. I can’t decide if trump would wait to call warrants until lock up expires or if he’d do it to raise the cash for the company. Regardless there are plenty of sources of dilution to do this in. Once the initial hype goes away and volume drops this will start correcting I imagine.

Wanna compare 2024 results so far? Pretty sure I’ve got you crushed but ok.

Lol, the dick measuring contest? Biggest positions are solana, CLSK, bitcoin, and MSTR, so I can’t complain, thou some portfolios got plenty of tesla and they are flat, I don’t know what my average is since multiple portfolios. A better comparison would be in 2 or 5 years from now anyway. Where we can also compare taxes you pay on realized gains VS my zero since i buy and hold. I’m just sayin, majority of discussion on the forum is timing the market and unprofitable stocks. Just pointing that out.

P.s.
Expecting another bitcoin pop with all time high in the next couple days, even Satoshi (Adam Back) thinks so, let’s see if he is right. Too many indicators point to a massive pop.
