ARTPUP posted:Picked up 1000 more shares of Mereo BioPharma (MREO) @.97/share. Basically Rubric Capital owns around 31 million shares of the company and wants results. Rumours are Mereo turned down buyout options, so Rubric walked into the offices like Tony Soprano holding a baseball bat screaming "Where's my F***ing money!" Rubric stepped in and after the threat of a shareholder vote to remove people from the board of directors, Mereo came to a deal, ensuring Rubric's nominated choices sat on the board. This should be an interesting year for the company... sitting on a good pile of cash with little debt... maybe, maybe... I played $MREO back when the buyout rumors began and had a nice little run but I didn’t the stock would ever go anywhere again. Mostly, my concern was their pipeline not being all that valuable to a bigger bio (and the Rubric drama) but I also held heavy $GOON bags so what do I know? lol Funny thing is I saw your post and gave it serious consideration to jump back in - I had a buy order set up when it was at $.83 this morning but didn’t pull the trigger. Oh well, I’m happy for you if this is the run up to a BO

The owners are likely to sell it and have started a bidding process, with initial bids due later today. This is interesting - thanks for the DD. I picked up a few for fun!

Has anyone else had issues with Fidelity's Active Trader since they moved to the 64-bit version? I get pretty consistent crashes during market open/close when the extended hour prices toggle, as well as occasional random crashes. The platform has been ok, in general, but I'm leaning towards switching to a different brokerage for my little fun money account. I read the OP, but wouldn't mind if anyone had a recommendation for my relatively simple needs:
Thank you!

Thank you all so much for the feedback - I sincerely appreciate it! In the absence of any responses I was going to try TOS based on the positive comments I’d seen in this thread over the years - nice to see that inclination confirmed. Thanks again!

Thanks again to everyone who recommended ToS! I opened an account today and got set up on the desktop and mobile apps. They are both very slick and I am looking forward to exploring them further. One question I couldn’t find a clear answer on is how to see your settled cash balance. Would that technically be ‘Cash Available for Withdrawal’? It was simply called ‘Settled Cash’ at Fidelity. Would like to avoid good faith violations. DeadFatDuckFat posted:Last time I checked it wasn't really possible to run scans on ToS mobile, has that changed? Or it was somethibg like you could run scans that you've already setup on the desktop app or whatever From what I have seen in my limited experience today it appears to be the latter.

I bought some 4/21 $DWAC and $RUM puts on their big jumps today. Hoping that’s plenty of time for both of them to sell off.

Sold the $RUM put after a few days for 66% return and dumped $DWAC today while ITM for a 10% or so. Next up on my chud plays is $BUD. Considering some commons or calls as the right wing outrage machine will lose interest and go after something else soon enough. I know next to nothing when it comes to TA but my only concern is that $BUD was on a decent uptrend prior to the 'controversy.'

Baddog posted:Grats on the DWAC play! I just didn't have the balls to jump into that mess, despite it seeming like a slam dunk. Thanks! Tbqh, they kept the price up far better than I expected haha Also, allow me to share this little trading anecdote. On 4/3, $AI had been surging for days without any true catalyst other than Bill Gates and others calling for a pause on advanced AI development or something like that. Figured it had to cool off a bit so I picked up a 4/29 1.35P and set a Limit for 2.10 which I planned to revisit in the coming days. Well, the next morning an investment firm put out a hit piece on $AI attacking their accounting practices. I was in a meeting that ended at 9:30. I get out of the meeting to see the stock price tanking and rush to cancel my limit but market open hits and the limit is triggered instantly. Normally, I would never complain about 56% profit, but I had to then watch as the price plummeted and the put soared to the 8.40 range at one point. Brutal. Ah well, such is trading and I probably would have sold much sooner than 8.40 anyways lol

I'm kind of confused about why BUD and TGT are dropping as much as they are with the stupid chud 'boycotts'. Is there really that much selling pressure from what I would imagine to be a small segment of retail shareholders? And/or are bigger shareholders/firms selling based on declines in future ERs? I guess I don't quite understand how the price can be impacted like this.

Subvisual Haze posted:Last week I actually made good money by selling OTM calls against $BUD across their earnings report. I actually guessed wrong with regard to the direction I thought the price would go, the stock went up after earnings but it went up less than my strike price so I was able to close the calls early after earnings with 70% profit thanks to post-earnings IV crush. Sorry if these are silly questions but I’ve never traded options beyond simple buying calls/puts. If you sell calls/puts, you can just close them at any time like that? I figured you have to white knuckle it out until the expiration date. What happens to the contract when you close your position? Does it mean another trader or market maker has purchased the “selling” side of the contract?

I rode the last wave up for a nice little profit. I was hoping it would again drop into the 1.20’s but I don’t think it ever did in the last few weeks. Congrats on the big jump today!

ARTPUP posted:... Regarding $MREO, I had played a few small swings the last couple years and then had a limit order around 1.2X that missed getting filled last October just as the price took off. I've been hesitant to jump in since the stock kept moving up and eventually nearly tripled. Now that there has been a slight pull back in recent weeks, do you feel like this is a good entry point? Are you still playing the B/O angle on them or what is your end game plan, if you don't mind sharing? Thanks!
