Can someone who knows about options explain what this means. Does this mean Nancy believes Amazon and Google will drop to $150 and that’s the price she’ll buy at?

classic opex action.

AAPL - thinking small bounce to around 229, then maybe more down below 222 which is the support right now

Did you have leaps going? I am up 300 percent but on shares. Rick dogg showed the wheeling strategy I might have to do that going forward

:mjlol: back in clov too again .holding 960 shares. I have been buying and securing profits and dumping. I may ride it out.

Wished I believed in PLtr more at the time then SOFI. shyt hurts
I'm up 380% on PLTR shares, but don't have a lot of em.

I'm about 4000 shares deep into CLOV :francis:




Sold my PLTR calls to early......left at least 12k on the table. :francis: but a w is a w i guess


No leaps, but definitely considering em. What is the wheel strategy? @Rickdogg44

Wheel strategy basically selling a put on a stock/etf at a price you wouldn't mind owning 100 shares (per contract). If/when you get assigned - sell a covered call at a price you want to sell those 100 shares.

Sofi earnings Monday morning. Long wait until then.

:wow: can't wait, I want to wake up Monday morning a happy man

:wow: the better SOFI does, the more risk I am willing to take in other stocks.

Hopefully clov's time will come



Reason why I am in and out, already up 37 percent again, may secure profits again if something funk happens during earnings

I stopped paper trading and started using a margin account.

My strategy isn’t for everyone—I would buy every dip and sell as soon as I turned a profit. I was risking 30k, trading it hundreds of times with 500 or 1000 shares per trade. At one point, I was up 260k, but I ended up giving back the profits in the end.

Above strategy is not something I'll do regularly.

My lesson was that if you are unafraid to lose money, then you can make money. Having a big account size helps. Remember you get 4 times the leverage with a margin account.

For those with small act size, you can try above strategy with 5 to 10 share per trade. Sell when green, buy the dip as long as volume is there. Dont trade past 1030am.
