There's also the folks who really want to be cowboys outdoorsmen. And they will definitely do real outdoors activities in their F-150s once they leave the office, honest.

Eh, I dunno. I think the overlap is close enough it might as well be a rounding error. :v:

Take profits when they exceed your target. If you wouldn't buy more stocks today, right now, at the current price, then do not continue to hold onto them.

Options are either funny who-cares about the consequences gambles or very, very specific targets with no wiggle room. Because of theta decay, you don't wanna keep on holding onto options especially if they're ITM by a good buffer.

odiv
Jan 12, 2003

Logically the target would have probably been somewhere south of $1M though, right? Just seems like the same thinking that says to sell at $4M sells way way before that point.

jokes
Dec 20, 2012

Uh... Kupo?

The problem is that most options' price movement happens after-hours anyways, and since he had no target he apparently held onto them and lost $3m for it the next day. Take profits, my guys. Bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.

odiv
Jan 12, 2003

Yeah, no argument here about taking profits, just seemed like the hold after the initial 20% day would have been just as risky so might as well take profits then.

Edit: Looks like I just basically just repeated myself for no reason, sorry. Anyway, this kind of bet isn't something I'm going to have to worry about, so it's all theoretical to me anyway.

Looks like the Canadian pipeline marches ahead so investors here are getting optimistic about oil stocks again. I don't go so far as to pick "ethical" ETFs, but I think I'd feel better about myself avoiding oil stocks on an individual basis.

According to my valuation based off of a competing car manufacturer (TSLA), this means Ford should have a market cap of around $7.9 trillion; give or take a couple hundred billion.

I just don't know of any car stock that has ever been so hopeful (price-wise). I truly don't understand TSLA and at this point would only trade on it for meme fun.

The"best" part is he did this with his roth, so it'd be quite the retirement.

Let them bid it up slowly. Maybe put premiums will become more manageable.

I bought a few 2/14 QQQ $230 puts in case the post-impeachment euphoria wears off next week and/or the extent and lethality of the coronavirus becomes more of a concern.
