If that PT had been $2100 he would have nailed it.
I did sell shares that I acquired since Friday. Too much margin for my comfort. It would have been more comfortable if I’d sold them at the end of the day. Something something something time the market. Can’t complain, I did squeeze out a little profit.
(Someone asked about everyone doing stuff besides shares. Not me. Can’t do option and Leaps are already beyond my comfort zone).

The hardest part about call options is knowing when to take profits, and windows to do so often are extremely fleeting since the swings are large. You could be up 50K and few minutes later only up 10K. That feels like a 40k loss so you hang on. And maybe lose the rest.
If you play them conservatively, selling with 20-50% gains, the money left on the table can be staggering.
I’m seeing my short-term dated options through Battery Day and trying to resist any temptations to swing them in the very short-term (the caveat to this was yesterday when I absolutely knew to buy more but was fully in and didn’t want to touch margin).
Like many, I’m hoping to convert fully to shares for two decades. The stress when options amount to more than a bit of play money is far too great.

..they expired last week unfortunately
Rolled while they still had some value, to this friday and next. However, sold when those tripled today.m way to early.
could have been back to $40k if I had held a few hours longer. Now I have $5k in cash.Options are tricky.. either I hold way too long, or not long enough..

03-19-20 was the highest intraday gain (+26.1%) since Oct 23, 2019 (Q3 results). Today's just 16th place in rank order (and falling with the current short effort). It just feels good today because the absolute gains are staggering.
July 13, 2020 was a good day too at +22.0% intraday, but you already know how shortzes peed in the pool that day.
Today's been good, but the shortzes have already whacked $50 off the intraday gains and are likely to keep trying right into the Close. It's what they do.
Cheers!

The real downside nobody is talking about here is that this meme will be less impressive soon.
Still good though. Sorry I have nothing of value to add, kinda like a split but it's gonna go up anyways there should be a reversal right about now off the lower BB ( SP 1537 as of posting)

So why wouldn't UBER/Lyft do/require the same? Why is that became such an issue for them? I'll be honest I didn't look into this issue at all, so it maybe an obvious thing...
Or the other way around : squeezing those shorties who think it is fine now again
If you do that too much, you might get high.
Y'all don't let this afternoon fade kill the vibes.. this is a healthy consolidation given the huuuugeee run-up today. Sets us up for a more likely gap-up tomorrow morning in my mind. Let's get it!!!
Volume at the $1,600 call strike is so high. Open interest was ~5,400 and volume is 67,000.
I just have a UK share account; I asked my broker what would happen. Answer: from 31st August the new (presumably about 20% of current) share price would be in effect. The new shares to be added to the portfolio are expected on or around 3rd September. Between 31st August and when the new shares are added the portfolio would look like it had declined by 80% in value, and if I wanted to sell shares I could only sell those existing 20% of the total that I had at that point until the other 80% new ones were added. Seemed clear.
Hargreaves Lansdown? I just received a message from them confirming this as well.

That's quite a delay - probably due to the stock being a NASDAQ stock held in a UK account.
Ya know, at the end of a session like today, I feel like the dude in the Mountain Dew commercial calling the race of the two water drops down the bottle... it's exhausting ;-)
August 31st is a public holiday in the UK, which I guess adds a one day delay on top.
