[quote]Probably should have moved this to the poliboard[/quote] Yep. After reading the gem below, as well as some other ones from people who probably think Goldman Sachs sells high end women’s fashion items, makes me agree. Poliboard at best, or that place where brain cells go to die: the OT boar...

I went with 12/1 short puts on CRWD and USO. All good so far. WDAY would have also worked out fine with short puts - might have challenged on short calls or a SCV/iron condor though. I just wasn’t as familiar with the name and its tendencies around earnings. Did you get into a strategy on it? Wat...

I also own some PSEC. Very high dividend at current prices… unfortunately most of my position was established at higher prices from a couple of years ago. I have a much stronger conviction on ARCC, which I bought 6 or 7 years ago in the mid teens. It also has a high dividend, but one which I bel...

Thanks. I’ll pop those onto my watch list and see what’s what. I don’t recall that I’ve ever traded any of them....

I attempted to ladder into a 1x2 jade lizard on NVDA. But the SCV side didn’t fill (I waited til too late in the session and the line was long). The 435 put side filled for a nice credit. But the SCV would have been nice icing on the cake. That was in my investment account and I was content to take ...

[quote]Chat With Traders has gone to shite since that guy quit being the host.[/quote] Chat With Traders was my favorite podcast. I used to listen to it on my drive to work. I hadn’t listened in awhile and didn’t realize that Aaron Fifield had left the show. ...

Don’t think I could bring myself to sell a naked call on NVDA. That could turn into a nasty situation on a big beat. Remembering the short strangle I had on TSLA a few months back, and the trapeze moves I had to perform to manage that when the stock shot through my call strikes, has left a bad taste...

Any brave souls playing NVDA options going into their AH 11/21 earnings call? IV is currently at 50.28% and IV Percentile is 41%. Expected move of +/-38.10 for the 11/24 expiration. Closed up 2.25% ($11.11) today at 504.09, and up another $1 and change in AH trading. I’m considering a jade li...

[quote]My gut tells me that they will eventually recover...it is a hundred year old company and still the largest haircare company in the world.[/quote] Based on that information, if you weren’t already in it, would you be tempted to buy shares at the current price?...

[quote]but were hoping not to be in anything with [i][b]much[/b][/i] risk[/quote] Being that that’s a relative, could you be more precise in how you define that? You’re looking to protect the nominal principal or more concerned about inflation risk, etc?...

[quote]Tuberville recently invested $50k in $TSLA $190 puts expiring 12/15/2023[/quote] Depending on when he bought the 12/15 TSLA 190 puts and when/if he sold, it’s possible that he’s made serious bank on those. With the recent dip, those puts soared… but have since been crushed as the stock rec...

[quote]Also, nothing to do on UVXY or VXX etc at the moment. We will have to be patient.[/quote] VIX is back in the 13.50s now. So not much premium to be had? What VIX range is a trigger for you? I put on some heavy SPX trades that expired Wednesday and yesterday, but I mainly looked forward t...

In my junk mail I remember seeing that Discover has/had a balance transfer with a 4% fee and 0% interest for 12 months, or no fee and a higher interest rate (don’t remember what that was) for 15 months (I believe). But as someone else said, before you take on more debt with a car loan, you should...

[quote]Is there any way I can get a new black crew cab Tundra and keep the note around the same? [/quote] Sure. You can sufficiently lengthen the loan term. You can sufficiently reduce the interest rate. You can sufficiently reduce the principal amount (come up with a high enough down payment). B...

With that roughly 2% pop in the S&P, has anyone else gone into short call strategies up top? Today I was able to dump some of the TSLA for a healthy profit that’s been hanging around in my account for a few weeks. The rest of it is tied up in covered calls, which are now in the money… and I hope...

[quote]The problem with uvxy on the long side is that for medium term plays, VIX not only has to be higher, it has to keep going higher. It's almost like an acceleration bet on VIX, which is tough because VIX is essentially a mean-reverting ratio[/quote] I’ve been following your moves on this str...

[quote]Jag, I have not been to one of the money conferences before, when I look at the list of speakers/agendas it is quite a broad span of topics.

[quote]Sometimes losses can be helpful. Could you use the losses and then reinvest that money somewhere else?[/quote] There’s that, and also, the OP and every investor [b]and/or[/b] trader needs to learn how and when to accept a loss.

I’ll paraphrase something that Seth Freudberg said in Orlando this week: being that you have a serious passion for options trading, you have one of the (very) necessary elements for success. :cheers: I almost hate to head back to my home base tomorrow (and 30 degrees vs. 80 degrees), but my batte...
