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.
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.
bought 2 AMD $100 Call 01/20/23 contracts this morning.
We gonn see discounts Monday?
Price of the brick should be going down.

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.
Anybody do futures?
When the direction is certain I short the /MES to recover the losses when the markt goes down
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
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.
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.

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.
Bump for @rph2005(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.
Shit must have been a drought because prices went to the moon on 1000watts
Just bought 5 oz
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.
Just options that have an expiration date of at least a year. About 60% of my portfolio is like that. Most of mine are 2yr exp.
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!!!
