Separate names with a comma.
This is the characteristic that I most like about selling options as my primary strategy. Namely - the activity that I should most engage in,...
I rolled the second strangle I've been testing with this morning. It arrived today as an 865p / 850c (yes - an inverted strangle; the put leg...
For real. And without the additional 2 week lag. There's no reason why the total short shares can't be reported daily, or at least over the...
Shorting is the capitalist solution to the problem, and I have no problem with that. There's a world of difference between borrowing shares and...
I have no problem with shorting per se. If somebody is taking a short position legally - borrow shares first and then sell them, totally fine....
I'm confident that it's not a cold battery - I've seen that dynamic, and I've seen the charging station refuse to budge off of 50-60kw charging...
Been awhile since this thread has been updated - my wife and I have pretty regularly seeing something like 60 or 70kw charging as the max at this...
The saga of the ITM call continues. Previously set for expiration this Friday, with the big move up the time value dropped to about $2. I've...
Yep - that's the way it's worked out. At 1/6th or so premium for 2 weeks / 350 strike, I'd much rather be getting paid for a CC. Time to hit up...
I'm pretty sure that I can, but now that you ask - I realize that I don't know! It seems not - I just went to sell a CC against my 100 GME...
They might, but it's my membership in the FPLP that enables them to be lent. They sorta kinda have to remove me from the program if I ask. For...
Not a website, but it's math you can do yourself. Or that you can build a spreadsheet to do the math as well. If you've been tracking your...
If there were an easy way to do so online then I probably would. Actually awhile back I thought I had called Fidelity and opted out of their...
Interesting to me - my few shares got loaned out today through Fidelity's Fully Paid Lending Program. I'm being paid 12% to have my shares sent...
Good starting point - all kinds of covered calls perform poorly when the underlying doubles in a short time :). The short call goes ITM and...
Yes. But at least retail will be eating their own with a few extra billion from the shortie hedge funds to squabble over. It's still a market...
That's one reason I have my token dog in the fight - it's only 100 shares, but hey - ahead 10% right now from the initial purchase! I did see...
The continuing saga of what started as a 760c at the beginning of January. When last we visited, the call had rolled up to 770, 775, and is now...
Maybe that's the real functional use of blockchain technology that will bring it into widespread use, and transform it from a niche thing that...
Fetching this quote over from the mega-thread. What we can ALL do is to make sure that our representatives know that we feel this way. At...
Following the link in the link, the scene from Snowpiercer, is highly apropos. I haven't seen the movie before, but it's a brief 3 minute clip...
I think that the better interpretation is that the ESG metrics being used (which I assume are not something S&P came up with - something developed...
All of the notions around optimizing payouts by waiting until later are dependent on an actuarial calculation over a broad swath of US citizens....
Yeah - that's rather critical (buying on margin). For those that aren't clear on this - this is why we're all really careful with margin. At...
Maybe it is too trusting of an attitude. Worth noting, even then TSLA wasn't gyrating 50% a day, day after day. I wouldn't have lent out my...
Which is why I foresee some market reforms coming. And why I'm going to contribute to making those reforms happen. At minimum, we can all...
Thanks for the link. To which I have to say to IB - *DAMN* - you almost got it right. I like the 100% margin on long stock positions - that's...
This is pretty close to my own response to anybody. Everybody in the market invests using their own investing thesis, which is always a...
Great stuff. I think you're at least a month or two ahead of me with very much this approach. The short time I've been doing it, I really like...
I just read over the last page and all of the specific trading approaches, decision making, and related details and I am simply in awe. My big...
You're going in the same direction as I'm going in my thinking about this. I think that you're drawing the wrong conclusion though. The only way...
Don't know if this has already been posted - Fidelity has halted trading as well. Or at least functionally. Their trading ticket apparently...
It's day after earnings now and the shares are down around $837 as I write. The net result of the share drop plus the corresponding IV drop, when...
My own observation more broadly about Elon and Tesla. Elon Time - in the short term (few years), the schedule is always overly aggressive and...
From my point of view it's obviously harder today than it has been previously, but my own investment thesis on Tesla says that $4k - $8k/share by...
I'm pretty sure they're already doing this, for exactly the reasons you mention. Thinking about this more, I think the local wells aren't for the...
I feel like this is my semi-equivalent to WSB, with hyper focus on TSLA (which is what I want).
Something to add to this semi-perma strangle I'm setting up. In one account today, the gains on one leg of the strangle are so close to...
What I got from the article is that the land already has drilled and producing wells. Whether they are economic for others to operate, the...
I didn't want to quote out of context, but the specific point about being an interesting way to learn is interesting to me. I've been making a...
I disagree with the conclusion you're drawing, but I do like the way you've presented it and the decision to provide it (that can be tough in such...
This is TOTALLY worth watching / listening to, all 25 minutes. The personality is so focused on "fundamental analysis correct", "everything else...
Closest precedent I know of is the epic Porsche / VW squeeze. I think it was Porsche that acquire, via options and shares, more than the VW...
Burn baby burn. Maybe I'm helping torch the wrong short sellers, but working out my nearly decade old angst with TSLA short sellers is ......
Two position updates that I think might be valuable. On this new put position, I had planned to open it today for what I expected to be higher...
It's a very different beasty having 20-40% of the shares shorted and 150% of the shares shorted. The former has a reasonable chance of filling -...
It seems that I'm along for the ride now. I put in a limit order at $300 that I figured had no chance of filling. It's down in that 1% range for...
Good luck with that. If the short % isn't well under 100%, then it sounds like you'd be joining the next wave of shorts to be in a trade you...
Let the short borrow rates roast slowly, with the margin calls melting their portfolios away. Is there too much schadenfreude being thrown the...
I am entirely fine with the investor community policing the abusive shorts. If nothing else, shorts will be looking over their shoulders (or just...
