**OFFICIAL** Trading and Investing Thread- Part -XII- Money Printer Go BRRRRRRRR

[TugOfPeace]

Only one I might consider is NFLX. they’ve been range bound between $470-520 for the past two quarters. Not sure if I want to kid first thing in the morning and do covered calls, or sell puts and cash in on the pumped premiums and then wheel if assigned...


I’ve been trying spend today thinking about what to do this week but I keep getting too risky feelings. At least for the stocks I’m interested in (due to decently high IV). Not to mention I still have until the 29th until my first TSLA conundrum settles, and would like to stay as liquid as possible until then.

That said, PLTR is still very attractive but I wouldn’t be surprised to see a continued pull back. That ARK news was a great pump but damn that sell off could be a sign of more to come. If I do anything, I’ll be going big on 1/22 $30csp...

It's been hovering around $25-27 for a week or two now, what selloff are you talking about?

Also:

Also I found this :

''Karp and Cohen filed for HSC forms (meaning SEC has to grant them permission to purchase shares worth more than $94million). And guess what? They were granted. They also granted them early termination, meaning can purchase these shares in less than 30 days. Starting Tuesday and up until DEMO DAY we will move towards and surpassing all time highs because there will be over $188 million shares being bought. You thought ARK’s $12 million purchase was nice? Wait till this hits!''

so apparently pltr gonna print next week

This should help if true..

IV for earnings sucks for sure.

I had check on NFLX.

Last two earnings they dropped 6 percent after earnings.

Projected move again is +/- 6 percent.


TSLA has projected +/- 14 so who knows that would be big move. Considering last two earnings +0.8 and -2.3


Intel is one that I will follow option chains see if anything interesting comes up.

Last two earnings -16 and -11...now projected is +/- 10.



PLTR volume calls is off the phucking charts again for 1/22 expiry.


But I am not so sure, last week it was the same and well it did nothing but pull back.

[HairyWBush]

So in the case of Robs example, someone sold 2M shares on a market order so it climbed down the bid order ladder until those 2M shares sold and thus tanked the price. But as far as what you can bid, you can absolute put in whatever price you want, your order just may not fill if there is nobody selling at that price whereas a market order will always fill.

i think I see what you're saying now. If I understand it's almost like Ebay, where 'bid' is the current lowest bid?

Pretty good video on order types from TD

thanks! I will watch that now.

The "bid" shown is the current HIGHEST bid.

Also:



This should help if true..

It pumped from $25 to $27.85 in one day, and then back down to $25.5... That was following a drop from nearly $27 down to $24 last week. Last week was the result of people being concerned about lock up expirations and downgrades. The only reason it pumped was because of the ARK announcement on Thursday night, and Friday’s movement finished with very little to show for it. Why? Continued fear as previously mentioned, profit taking, and bag holders getting out.

[Galindo62]

One stock I saw that 100% applies to what Paul is talking about slowly pulling back.

Fedex.

After it hit $302 it has been red every single day little by little.

Now trading at $252.




...............

anyone playing anything earnings this week

key words from any of these will be 'guidance' 'operating cost' will drop if they mention it


I think Intel will fail again.

I play EVERY single earning. Iron condors and butterflies.

More often than not implied volatility lags behind actual volatility. That there IV crush.

Easy money.


Im using hyperbole but I do play about 5-10 earnings a week if there's good volume.

[mikebadg3]

What do yall make of GME and NIO?

[Heaney]

Why are people expecting the market to dump this week on inauguration exactly? Idk much about politics but it seems like in the short term atlesst Biden is good for the market.

[HMFIC_BROWSIN]

Lockdowns, more taxes, and stricter regulation.

What's to like economically?

Political bias and/or bearish positions. Also, Friday was a fairly big red day.

The latter 2 wouldn't occur in 2021, but big stimulus checks will be pumping out flooding the robinhood market again just like last sprummer.

Wouldn't the market have reacted negatively to him winning if it were afraid of these things? From what I recall it absolutely mooned.

[Heaney]

Wouldn't Friday be more likely attributed to people selling out of positions pre long weekend incase some sort of bad news came out?

Yes, but big red days always scares people into thinking there will be more big red days, and also gets the bears coming out rejoicing that there is a big crash coming.

Of course, no one really knows what will happen. I think there will be some volatility, but I seriously doubt that there's going to be a huge dump this week.

I was just more or less thinking out loud because I've seen Tug seemingly worried to death the last couple days. Was wondering if I'm missing something being one of the resident foreigners.

Tug is always worried, lol. I wouldn't be surprised if he's heavily leveraged right now.

My own opinion is that there will be volatility and even some big dips along the way (because the economy is not healthy at all and the market is propped up), but until the Fed eases up and the stimulus dries up, every dip is going to get bought.

That said, when the latter finally happens, we probably won't see it coming as the big money sells off before the news gets out to the plebs like us.

If futures are up this big, that means tomorrow is gonna be a big green day, hey? Is that how it works?

Edit: might've been a dumb fuking question but everyone on WSB is talking about "bears r fuk" because of futures so I had to ask.

I'm not that leveraged; I'd say 80% of the cash I have is invested in the market, and of that 80%, I could withdraw 3 out of my 4 positions tomorrow and be happy taking a small loss.

The reason I'm worried is as follows:

Despite all the financial crises we've seen up until March of last year, it wasn't even a financial issue that caused markets to tank - it was a virus that threatened lockdowns, end of travel, closed businesses, etc. Massive shift in the way the economy would work. The way the information surrounding that virus circulated to the USA, it was as if it was a highly contagious strain of ebola. MASSIVE panick. That was an expected crash; I'm willing to bet tons of people knew it was coming. Heck, I was on this forum watching the whole thing unfold a month before mainstream media got a hold of it.

Now, look at where we're presently at:

1) Media is painting Trump supporters as terrorists that need to be sent off to re-education camps. Media is heavily censoring things and attempting to literally cancel the right. Look at who controls the branches of office. 75 million people in this country are pissed off and guns/ammo are being bought up like crazy. All it takes is one or more false flag attacks from the right or the left and you have a literal, civil war. It's not farfetched.

2) Biden is about to croak. He'll either completely lose his marbles pretty soon, or the deep state will declare him incapable of fulfilling his role and Kamala will take over. If she takes over, say hello to further crackdowns on trading. One of her biggest plans is to pay for things like student loan forgiveness and benefits for illegal immigrants by taxing the rich, especially through trading.

3) Next pandemic - Klaus Schwab (founder & chairman of WEF) has literally made a public video saying that there may be another pandemic/attack, and this time it will deal with cyber security. We could be looking at a complete power grid outage (questionable because the power grid isn't something you can take out without coordinated attacks, there are layers and layers of redundancy), an EMP attack by some false flag operation, or a cyber security breach. Mainstream media was literally saying that there's already been a cyber security breach just a couple weeks ago.

4) Last but not least - printing of money. In the 2008 financial crisis people were complaining because we bailed out corporations with $700 billion. This past year I'm pretty sure we've printed TRILLIONS, and that's on top of all the money we've printed since 2008. I understand that there are different levels to the money supply (M0, M1, M2, etc), but eventually, whether it's in one month or one year, it will come crashing down.

So you look at the crash in March, and then think about all the above factors. The next event will wreck us for a long, long ass time. It will be biblical.

And one may think I sound like Venom, but I'm no bear. I'm still bullish for the foreseeable future. I'm just working to build up my capital so that I can diversify more. Gold, silver, real estate, etc.. those should hedge nicely against what's to come.

[hiyooo]

PLTR, I think it might pop off a little after the demo, Idk what I am gonna do with ER yet.

But GME is gonna be interesting tomorrow and the rest of this week.

BB is on pure wsb hype right now.

NIO pretty much just mimics TSLA movement so I sold half my shares at $60 range last week.

I think Intel will fail again.

I am long on Intel with shares but I think so too, sold my leaps when it hit $59. I'll load up on leaps again if it tanks after ER.

this is interesting because we just recently had pakistan blackout & iran blackout.

[Schnitzl]

I wouldn't take it as a sign if countries with some of the most volatile and unstable power infrastructure black out for a couple of hours. It happens pretty frequently there.

[SolidPaul]

goooo open up markets, my $10k buy order in $BB is pending

Thanks for the pump, I got long options in BB, probably gonna hold.

BB is a long term play though. SpaceX uses their OS. EVs in the future planning to integrate, cybersecurity, etc.

[Galindo62]

Gonna write some call bull spreads for Apple earnings.

So in the last 2 years I finally got a nice income ~$130kish and got serious about retirement during the last year or so.

I currently am on track to max 401k and max Roth every year in the foreseeable future. I’m keeping my 401k/Roth in index funds period.

Currently about $50k in my retirement.

My dilemma is I have $80k cash just sitting and I do want to buy a house but debating if I should invest more aggressively with my savings/disposable income.

Would you brahs leave an emergency fund of $15kish and take the rest and all future disposable income and invest aggressively? I feel like I’m missing out on a lot of gains

buy a house while interest rates are still low, if you can get a duplex and live in one side while renting the other. I wish I did that at your age.

[hiyooo]

it's GME day, this is gonna be exciting to watch

most likely nothing lel but lemme dream about conspiracy theories in peace

[ReyDelMundo]

This is the way.

Home appreciation will continue as long as nominal wages and salaries grows at a faster rate than prime 30 year fixed rate.

Chit if you really wanted to you could lock in interest rates on a 15 year fixed, drop 20% on it, and do a HELOC after a bit in case markets drop.

Brothers this is the time, support our weaker brothers by buying more gme shares. If a weaker brother sells 2 shares, then buy 4.
