Anyone investing heavily this year??

How much money did you lose/gain this past week?


  • Total voters
    30
  • Poll closed .
Right now is a scary time to buy anything and hold.

The reason for it is everything suggests we haven’t experienced the worst to come with this market.

Between the results with the election that’s going to last well into Jan and the pandemic it’s going to get alot worst before it gets better.

The overrall trend seems to be “red” days followed by “green” days. Today and yesterday are great examples of that. Scalping is perfect for this type of tend. Make money when it’s going down and make money when it’s going up. I’m still learning how to capitalize and be felixible like that.

But overall the market has been bearish and it’s going to continue for awhile.

Yeah I'm trying to learn how to make money off of puts. I got to resist the urge to buy any contracts less than 6 months
 
Now I’m back in AAPL and TWTR for tomorrow’s earnings.
Did well on PINS but looks like I’m giving money back on $AAPL and $TWTR. I played a strangle on both though so that should curb my losses but still took an L there. We’ll see how it plays out tomorrow. Still holding SPY, AMD and SNAP for next week.
 
You absolutely can lose on those stocks. For example if you bought $AAPL and $TSLA after the split... I think $137 and $540 respectively, you’re still in the hole. You’re still waiting to break even. This current market isn’t helping.

Now you either have to average down to get your cost per share lower or hope and pray they get back to those levels.


When I say you can not lose, those will not be effected in the longterm by whats going on.. I didn't mention TSLA so not sure if you have me mixed up with someone else.

FB is up 44% THIS year

AAPL is up 80% THIS year.....

AMZN is up 79% THIS year...

So if you purchased these this year on Jan 1 your money is still after the pandemic up almost doubled. You cant take the split day, then one day later and paint that picture. Apple is one of the safest investments you can make based on history, balance sheet, and most forecasting. And you get a tiny dividend. Its split was at 127.... Lets revisit this after the holiday season.

If Apple creeps below my average I’m going on for more.
 
Thats what I was thinking. $WKHS was looking good today at $15.50 for a long position, but I didn't buy because it may be cheaper next week. Time will tell.
I'm stuck in freaking $WKHS with a few Dec. call contracts. Hopefully they have a decent earnings report to salvage the share price while waiting on this USPS contract. Sold out of $TWTR calls this AM but held my put. I should be able to wipe out loss and even make a small profit if it continues to slide next week. Still holding onto my $AAPL and $SNAP strangles, plus some $AMD and $SPY call spreads a few weeks out and see how that plays out. I'm sort of banking on post election recovery if the Dems win since there will be less volatility expected. I could be wrong but that's my thesis. I also have strangle on $AMC earnings on Monday just for fun. I think its $20 total.

$WKHS - My wife is bag holding this one. The CEO did an interview with Benzinga yesterday (I think). Supposedly the contract announcement will be made by the end of the year. So you have an out there. If it drops to $14, I'll buy some to hold for the contract.
 
It was good couple days for shorts.
But I made a little on CCL.
Then I picked up some TSLA, BA, PRPO, MARA and AAL,GS.
Probably won't be selling until after the election when we see a leg up.
But I got everything really cheap.
I learned always keep some liquidity even though it may seem like spend it all when things go low.

I had plenty of cash and was buying yesterday. Should have waited for Friday sell off before election :hithead:

I just bought the market ($VTI & $SCHB) but I was eyeing $AAPL and $O primarily from a stock point of view since today was the ex-dividend for $O. I was scoping those so closely didn't even see that $TSLA slid below $400. Now I'm out of cash. Hopefully, $TSLA drops some more while I re-up.
 
NIO just keeps going, I want in but can't really find an entry point.

Same I have shares at $13 and want to add more. It has a history of coming back to the 20 day SMA. I almost bought at $25 but thought it would slide lower to the 20 day avg, instead it shot up to $32.
 
I picked up a few shares of $OSTK yesterday because of its tanking. I will buy more next week if it continues to drop.
 
Anyone in $FRT? I've started to build out my position in $O Realty Income corp in my personal brokerage and came across $FRT at an even better value. Since they are focused on retail shops their stock price is at a crazy discount. The price has dropped 50% and looks to be a great long term hold with 53 years of rising dividends. Just curious if others have more insight.
 
(in FEB 2020)
With all the media hype this weekend, i expect them to fly again. ( a lot of profit taking occurred Friday as expected, a long with a couple of offerings )

this outbreak has been more profitable than the cryptocurrencies thread in a fraction of the time.

:mike:
Bump for @rph2005
 
Man for yall NIO/Tesla Green energy people if I have to tell yall QCLN one more time lol...

Its up 117% THIS YEAR... Its only at 48.32 now. I got in at 27 and change in Feb and there is dividend.


I told cats like last year grab Square in the 70s - its at 168 now up 167% THIS year...


Im not hip to the options which I would love to learn but the growth and income I get....

supposedly the market has priced all these uncertainties into itself already. at least that's what the experts are saying. i am not bearish long term. bullish overall long term regardless of who's potus. that being said, LEAPS all day err day.

Tell me more about LEAPS?
 
Finally, I found a way to hedge a stock position (100 sharse) without paying a ;lot of premium for the PUT with some upside potential
The strategy is called the Slingshot. Below is a in depth explanation by the man who named this strategy



As with all strategies there are drawbacks. You can't use it all the time
I still need to figure out :
how to adjust the position,
synthetics,
where the risk in the position is etc
assignment risk etc
.
 
Cot damn! Is green all over the place today. It maybe too late, but, grab an option, realize the profit and sell.

Tomorrow morning is a crap shoot regarding which way the market will trend. But it will go hard in either direction. For all of you, it does not matter. We don't care. If the market goes up, we are buying calls, if the market goes down, we are buying puts. No matter what, tomorrow is black man money making day. It is a sure bet. Do not miss out!!!
