CCIV dipping a bit since they said no news this week probably. might be good time to buy in this week if you believe rumors. bad time to buy in if rumors are bad though :rolldice:

If it drops below 14 I'm buying even more. That's a non-denial. I'm not going to sell and attempt to buy back in lower, because the deal could still come at any time. Plus, my personal history of doing this is about 90% bad.

yeah same im buying more this week. getting the cost basis down with covered call trades is relatively easy since the volatility is insane

So, invest in real estate while rates are low?

Low rates inflate the prices of RE because people can afford a bigger loan so it isn't like RE is magically cheaper now. If you're serious posting then the answer is to (1) max all of your tax-advantaged retirement accounts with diversified funds (VTI/VXUS/BND) and (2) then travel, gamble, invest in real estate, etc with any extra money because you will retire rich due to prioritizing your retirement so it doesn't matter if you gamble the rest of your fun money away on SPACs or real estate.

I did both, I looked at it as a way of catching a taste of spacs that I missed the boat on like the ipo series or sleepers. I still have my portfolio of cherry picked winners.

Wow. Even after the GME crazyness last week, if you had bought calls late Friday you would have doubled your money if you sold at open. Way down now but still, wow.

lucid had some investor positions last week and they still have an opening for an sec reporting manager listed. that doesn't mean much other than they're looking to go public which we already knew

i dont think there's any new info other than the no-comment that cciv put out this morning

Ouch, that's quite the screw up.

Quick question on selling options on TOS - say I buy 100 shares of CCIV, then immediately go to sell one call contract at some higher strike price. I'm pretty sure my options on TOS are such that I can only sell covered calls and cash secured puts, but do I need to check that "create covered call strategy" box when selling the contract? I'm assuming no and that TOS automatically uses my existing 100 shares to cover the contract? I haven't written any options before.

Anyone think BB is going to get much higher than it's at now? I bought 100 shares on a whim a couple weeks ago, which has turned out great, but now I'm thinking about hopping off the coaster.
