I can't see how the operating margin makes sense for GME. They just can't compete with non retail, non brick&mortar. I cant see how they pivot to make up that margin either. I assume a lot of their margin was made on resale, but with consoles going to online only purchases its hard to see GME as a going concern.

This market encourages the worst behavior because I've found as long as the expiration date is far enough off and I own calls rather than puts, waiting it out usually saves me. decypher posted:Early December Fred Hickey was on Grant Williams podcast, he has a newsletter called the High Tech Strategist which apparently is very good.

If you open both long and short positions at the same time, you cannot lose.

It let you increase your margin by opening spreads so some people had the bright idea of constantly doing this and turning their $100 into massive leverage. https://www.marketwatch.com/story/trader-says-he-has-no-money-at-risk-then-promptly-loses-almost-2000-2019-01-22 looks like the right time. I swear someone did this to the tune of 1m+ but I can't find it.

I've been having good luck playing the run-ups on the IPOx spacs. I made money on the IPOC and IPOE. I'm still in IPOD and IPOF and up 25ish% in each. Just sell the pop on the announcement or the run-up into the deal. This spac poo poo is easy, huh?

Expect extremely good news from Johnson 7 Johnson in ~2 weeks. Not sure how much of a drop in the bucket this will be for one of the largest pharmaceuticals in the world since it's "only" a COVID vaccine, and it's 4th across the finish line. That said, it's a single dose, easy to transport, and NOT an mRNA drug so it could be a good additional tool in the arsenal

Wish I had 5000, but that's the way it goes. The volume is ridiculous. An LOI would probably push it over 30. wet_goods posted:What's moon day look like? 70? 100? 0? My reasonable PT is 40. But in this market, with 100 million in CCIV volume a day, where QS goes to 130? Who knows?

I've been trying to figure out how many of these assumptions are already priced in. I bailed out of MRNA for a profit, then went back in thinking it had more gas in the tank, only for it to fall 15% over about a month on nothing but positive news.
