Well in their defense...he did tag them in here.Chill on flooding this thread with “Not gonna make a nigga any money” content right now
Was talking to him tooWell in their defense...he did tag them in here.
That's what I'm saying though lol. He tagged them and they came in.Was talking to him too
They all contributed to it. I'm out of the loop what's going on I personally thought Xfactor was posting some valuable information.....

Agreed take that personal beef ish elsewhere trying to make a point when the market bought to open lol
You forgot this.
Anyone catch that IDEX run before the stoploss raid?
Slow day in the market overall.
KTOV had been making some moves, but that stock is good for creating bagholders.

Yeah. Grabbed 100 IDEX $4 options this morning. Got out around noon. About 110% rip.
Done for the day. Taking my profits and moving on.

i have no idea about the beef in here cause xfactor is on ignore and a cac troll. i advise everyone to do the same. he comes here because he has a pathetic life and looks for beef to get some joy in his life. its one of two things that gets him erect. the other is watching the Top Gun volleyball scene on replay.
nice! next time, put me on game to some of these.
my amazon is doing real good since i got in a few months ago. its my favorite long term steady stock. i have its real value around 3300...and that's just now. by the time we get there, they will do something else innovative.
Where is your YouTube series? I want to learn options from BGOL.
Yeah...me too. I heard that while I have been “bag holding” GNUS, I could have made some money on PUTs.
I dam sure don’t expect this to see $5 this week or next.
KIRK and TRIB are slowly creeping up. I don’t have positions in either of those.
Took a small position in KIRK. Volume picked up during Power Hour.
FFHL reported solid earnings. Moving in AH. Might be a good swing.
Yeah, KIRK, took off. I was paying more attention to IDEX and Microsoft. At the last minute, I grabbed 10 $200 call options for MSFT. It looks like it should be at least $500 profit in the morning.
For the new guys:
Although there are extended hours for trading, this does not apply for options. So, you can buy at an option at 3:59 and from there you have to just watch until the market reopens at 9:30am.
Most would advocate never holding a position overnight. Which is a good rule of thumb. You can always buy other plays. But, every now and thwn, you see a runner that you know is getting action AH.
Some will criticize you for small wins. But, my strategy has always been this: if I can average $500 a day, with 253 trading days, thats $126,000 per year. Some days are much better, some are are not.
When I first started, I aimed for $100 a day which is $25,300 annually. An entire salary for some people.
You can grow $1000.00 to $10k by being patient and continuously learning.

Was up and down today. Got out of EVOK at $4.75 but only paid $2.62 so nice lil come up. Trailing stop loss worked beautifully. Ended up holding VBIV too long, could have sold at pre-market for 20% profit but waited for press release (which was positive) but shit tanked! So confusing how different stocks react to positive news. Anyway, trying to buy a bit more for the rebound.
I took too long staring at MNKD and it took off without me. Now I think it’s oversold and about to come back down so I will wait for the slide and get in then. I bought MARK at support and DMPI extra low so looking to exit those this week after a quick jump. Got back into SELB to sell on the way back up to $4. That play looks to be working. Now that I have been following an actual trading plan my last half dozen or so trades have been profitable, small but positive.

Both MARK and FRSX are rumored to be the vendors for the cameras in LAX. Not sure if it’s either. FRSX seems to be going up in AH on speculation it’s them. I jumped in and took a flyer on it and will look to get out quick tomorrow unless it’s confirmed. Can probably do well in pre-market unless news drops first.
That would be a nice deal. Especially if they end up going long term. Maybe they can land the new rental car depot too. I will grab some in the AM.
I’ve been holding $MARK for a few weeks in my small account. They report earnings next week. If they get bumped up to $3, I’m cashing out.
Invovio running...up from $16.20 at open...currently at $18.60
just won a $71 million dollar contract for D.O.D covid vaccine devices

INO blasted off. Hit $22. Currently pulling back and consolidating for another run.
I'm glad you did. That shit plummeted after they announced their shelf offering.

If you are looking for a high probability options call play for today and maybe tomorrow, look into Facebook and Microsoft.
I use Think or Swim and Webull.
I have a Fidelity account for my 401K and ESPP plan at the gig.
Swinging CTIB. It just had a small pullback. Gonna see what it does through the end of AH. Prolly an overnight hold for me.
I primarily use Robinhood and ThinkorSwim.
Since I can only open one account on each platform, I mirror many of my trades on Vanguard and WeBull for my two sons who are 8 and 4. I plan to turn over the accounts to them when they turn 25. Until then, I am teaching them how it works and drilling it in their heads that this is a mandatory obligation. So, right now, they think everyone in the world does this just like eating dinner and doing homework.
Holding CTIB overnight. PM tomorrow should be interesting.
I need GNUS to breakout tomorrow.
