Chino drove past the CEO's house? What are the odds?

[Slamt]

Nah I literally have no clue how they work. I just got real lucky.

Also why wouldn't someone buy $1 calls then anytime they buy a call? Like why not $1 instead of $28?

You get what you pay for.

The cheaper the contracts are, the more expensive they actually are when you factor in theta decay.

But why worry about all that ****, just buy calls and find out how options work later.

Huehuehue

But srsly this factory or whatever is fukkin massive. It’s truly impressive that a pure frauding con artist can achieve this. It’s going to be the next theranos and it’s incredible that we’re witnessing it at this level

He's actually kind of a genius. Start up a company with under 70K in total revenue, become a billionaire off said company, get asked to resign while still being able to keep your 8.6M shares of company stock and then come Dec 1 when your lockup is over unload every share on the morons who've been pumping up your share price and tank the company's stock.

Is this a great country, or what?

Take a look at tastytrade or investopedia to learn more on options. I got super lucky on my first few plays, and it took me getting burned a couple times before I finally did some research. You should get some info before playing more options. You'll still get burned, but at least you'll know why lol

Next pump is APXT, happy turkey day and good night

@carbon how was option flow on RKT today? Just noticed 7600 contract volume on Jan $30 with OI only 795
And saw Tutes own 80% of shares now

Finally time for liftoff?

I feel like my previous tidbit got glanced over previously so on a somewhat drunken night before thanksgiving Imma just go ahead and rehash it out.

Amazon's pharmacy run yeah whatever sure that isn't probably the greatest news for pharmacies. BUT for anyone that knows anything about the biz flu shots are a big ol' deal. estimates are out there saying 20% more people got flu shots this year on average(rough #s I've seen from ins companies). That is a fairly big number and you can expect that to impact bottom lines dramatically. I've said it before in other post, but administration fees from most pharmacies I believe are like $20-25ish I'm not 100% if there is a standardized number or not, but I've worked in places that used one or the other of those numbers.

HOWEVER.

Now there is covid and a COVID vaccine. It isn't just one shot, but 2. I'm sure this comes to no surprise to you that obviously pharmacies are going to charge that same fee each time a vaccine is given. So... if a 20% jump in flu shots administered will be significant imagine what adding 2 more vaccines into the mix will do. I personally don't think any of this whatsoever has been priced in. I looked at current earnings- WMT, CVS, and WBA had their earnings mid October through mid November and since the quarterly results are usually 2 months behind they don't mention much about changes in vaccinations however at least CVS revised their year guidance upward. I don't think any of them are giving solid answers as far as 2021 guidance goes (only read CVS earnings transcript though and let's be real pharmacy business for Walmart doesn't mean much so they get lumped into health and wellness ayy lmao). I think it is fair to anticipate seeing similar rates of vaccination for covid as there are flu vaccines spread over the 2021 year.

All said and done I estimate there is probably like 8-10 billion dollars going towards pharmacies for giving covid vaccines. Add that to retail places doing more business selling food/things people horde and I'd imagine that Costco, Kroger, and Albertsons should all do well.

Palantir up to 32.30 in European markets.

When I was a bagholder of nndm everyone on ST was always like "its $4 in Germany!" Then US markets would open and it'd be like 2.90.

Also where are you seeing this? So on Friday PLTR will open at 32.30?

[Heaney]

It's on r/wallstreetbets but no, Europe markets are basically irrelevant to how stocks trade here. Will Palantir open in the 30s? Possibly, but not because that's where they are in Europe.

I'm not saying it's not up in Europe, I'm saying Europe prices don't translate to when the NYSE opens.

Is there an explanation for this?

Edit: also can we trade options on questrade for Canadian stocks since US is closed? I can see some US brahs buying Canadian EV.

You can trade .tsx stocks not sure about options tbh. You could always hit "buy" and see if its going to charge you commissions, if it is then you're likely able to.

I posted article earlier about Nikola.
https://markets.businessinsider.com/...-11-1029838672

Lets see what happens if Trevor dumps 86 million shares December 1st.


Plus if the GM deal doesn't happen they are dead.

It will be penny stock.




....

Also the volume on PLTR after hours is too low.


That $32 is now $28.

Interesting

Not much downside for the common shares

[chino3]

Nah I literally have no clue how they work. I just got real lucky.

Also why wouldn't someone buy $1 calls then anytime they buy a call? Like why not $1 instead of $28?

Because the premium would be like 27-30 per contract.

For ****s and gigs i just looked it up, lowest call for pltr is 4 bucks and the premium for Nov 27 call is at 25.30 for the ask.....so yeah thats why.

Fwiw there is a “strategy” with LEAPs that is somewhat along these lines. There will be a strike where you are looking at close to what the shares are trading at currently when you factor in the premium plus actual strike. It doesn’t yield anywhere near the same profit potential as an OTM option but it’s a “safe” play.

For example, I bought 50 contracts of RKT for 1/2022, strike price of $10 and the premium was $9.50. Worst case scenario at expiration I COULD exercise my options and essentially own the shares for a cost basis of $19.50. So when it ran up to $21 recently I sold out for a 20% gain. Basically it’s a good way to be long a stock but only paying a fraction of what it would cost to own it. Not a cream your jeans play, but it’s safer than buying 5-30 DTE OTM options.



For the TSLA crowd: what do you think will happen when it is officially in the S&P? We should see a fat pump but I’m curious if people will profit take like a mother fukker, see a big drop, but then have those same people buy back in. I still think $500 will be the base but I could be COMPLETELY wrong.

Ah. Yeah these happen with every spac, nothing to see here. Think GRAF had 4 different ones when they released their definitive agreement. I look at them as a right of passage for good spacs.

All these SPAc tend to have a bunch of litigations. Isn’t the floor like $10.40 though? Even if it doesn’t go through. Not much downside if you get in now and sell before merger
