That's a smart move. The hit piece came out and barely put a dent in DKNG at the end of the day, especially so on a day when basically everything in the wider sector was red and with a market that loves to absurdly overreact. It's a growing industry no doubt and they have little to no competition.

No but seriously, the delta variant is worse in every way and all the majority unvaccinated southern states aren’t ready. Also, covid is “over” so there will be no more stimulus.

Need treasury issuance to allow QE. Need QE to support asset prices. Maybe there’s no more checks going out to (although I wouldn’t rule it out) but there’s definitely stimulatory stuff coming even if it’s not stimulus (infrastructure bill or student loan relief or whatever). The bond vigilante went extinct a long time ago.

True. I used to do one of the daily fantasy sports baseball sites. It was fairly easy to make a few bucks a night just playing 50/50 games with guys who hit for high averages. Yada yada, that got boring so I lost all my money in like a week doing crazy long shot tournaments.

Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Draft kings doesn’t have competition since it bought most of it while the industry was small.

I will not play lottery or casinos, but I'll absolutely play stocks. What I've learned in my short time is that after I get my dopamine fill I can just leave the money in position and have a reasonable chance of coming out ahead if I didn't do something utterly bugfuck like... I dunno... invest in Circuit City or something.

I feel like everybody is expecting a red day today so that means it won't be red?

I've got a stack of bills in my brokerage account from finally punting on lovely SPACs and I've been waiting for a good day to plug it back in. Which probably means that day is not today.

So far, banks and financials are taking a beating, while tech is up. This suggests that the market at large is anticipating no significant reaction.

Yeah, I don't really know anything about the company because I'm lazy and stupid but I threw some funbux in it when you mentioned it last week and I'm up 115% so thanks for that.

Speaking of dumb penny stocks, is it ridiculously rare for a company like that to eventually grow to be a "real" stock? Like, is it ever worth it to hold them a long time in hopes of ridiculous gains years down the road or is it pretty much just gambling in trying to grab a decent profit while it's up because it's almost certainly dropping back down to nothing eventually?

Apple, Ford, Monster Energy, and AMD were penny stocks.

So there's a one in 100 million chance you'll see those kind of numbers.

But something going from 0.0029 to like 0.4 is completely plausible.

Sold DPLS at 0.095 and it got to 0.096 before cratering. drat I’m good, that’s a very easy and tasty grand. No idea why it spiked. Sadly I’m at my limit for day trades or I’ll get a margin call (no idea what it is, but it sounds bad) on my account, so I’ll see you guys next week.

I sold a weekly call on that day it ran up like crazy for $1.10 in premium and its trading at $0.025 right now two days later

Still up a tiny bit on the overall position. maybe all wsb could do is pump it for a day?

At this point especially with a meme, I usually buy back the call for $2.50. If it memes on Friday you aren't in a tight spot and you can write another call for next Friday if you want more premium (if it spikes). If it doesn't meme again well you're out like $3 for peace of mind.

Press conference is still going on but this is the most hawkish Fed meeting of JPow’s tenure: possible interest rates could be at .6% in 18 months and they ALSO raised interest on excess reserves and the overnight reverse repo rate, which if it sticks means they will no longer be literally and obviously printing away government debt, they will only be fairly obviously printing away government debt while maintaining the fiction that quantitative easing will ever end.
