    Baba gave us that 1 chance at $150 and now she's gone at $174. We thank her for that but wished we'd bought more.

    My little train, JMP, up another .15 to $7.60 starting to stalk it's all time high of $8.99.

    JMP $7.75 choochoo!! Maybe I shouldn't jinx it.

    The meme stocks AMC and GME are slithering back to their respective holes after gap up openings. Dogs.

    Nasdaq showing some top signs on both daily and weekly now. Be careful, if we get red to close the week it could be a few weeks of pain in tech.

    So far market no care, we’ll see how closes...I stand by a big melt up into mid to later September, so just ride the wave, wait for vix and usd spike....

    new entries:

    $DNUT...Krispy Kreme...I think below $17 is reasonable for a possible 10-30% swing trade, insider JAB has been piling up shares and its flagging hard

    $INDI...this is more of a long term speculative investment but I think it’s worth stacking over the next few years on weakness

    Indie semiconductor...company with niche into lidar and connected tech in vehnicles...1) Management: Board and CEO with Skyworks, Marvell & Cirrus prior management who brought those into 10x companies2) Moat: by focusing on automotive, Lidar and EV they are tapping into providing faster processing speeds and reliability, quality.3) margins: growing business +140 yoy revenue, after recent spac deal top 25% in semi debt ranking, recent M&A of another lidar phototonics4) Meaning: Lidar and computer software in vehicles is one of the highest CAGRs over next 10years and we are currently at inflection point...companies like INDI, CRNC are still very early but possibly a chance to get in at a venture capital level entry.

    lastly, Soros’ fund loaded up last quarter as well as board and CEO recently.

    All the market has been doing is hanging out waiting to go higher. Tomorrow we have another announcement and the charts are telling me that it is a good time for the markets to break out. Going into the holiday weekend more often than not, the market rises. I can smell it already they will goose the markets higher and even next week the trend will continue and maybe on Wednesday there will be a little pause. That's the way I see the next couple of days.

    Been scalping put premium with calendar spreads on AMC and GME for a few months. Slow and steady wins the race. Love weekly expirations. time value decay is a beautiful thing

    Me too. Most profitable running trade of my career. Sucks up a fvvk of a lot of margin. I'm not spreading them just shorting the furthest strike with 7-9 days. Fugging money pouring in and only a couple of bird strikes.

    Still looking to short AMZN here. I'll probably wait until next week before stepping in with Oct 8 puts 3400 strike, right now they are asking 65.50. After they give the market a feel good boost today going into the weekend, these will get cheaper.

    Yep, probably should have sold 90%. I've got a few puts as well. Get out while you can and buy back next month. Thank me later.

    I'm not trying to say doom and gloom. Dollar cost averaging in the long run always the way to go. I just expect the market to have some ups and downs the next few weeks, mainly down. Have to be very selective. Expect a nice run mid October into the holidays.

    Been a bit of a life changing trade.

    Look at this trade:

    As the market closed yesterday you could short the Sept 17 GME 500 call for $1.5.

    Think about that. The stock is $200 and you can short a $500 call with 6 days left for $150 each. The call is $300 OUT of the money.

    Today, 1 day later, it's trading for .25. In 5 more days it will be $0.00.

    You only get a few of these type trades every lifetime.

    JMP is worth watching today. Normal avg volume 56k. Todays vol already 82k $7.43.

    I'm calling this guy to be bought out at $9.75 by the end of the year.

    The premium is crazy!! How much margin interest do you figure you pay per contract?

    I don't pay any.

    You use your equity. You need about $50k per call of equity.

    Even better! You had mentioned a similar trade with AMC several months ago. Both look almost too good to be true. Thanks!

    The option premiums are just in the stupid range.

    The only way to lose is the dreaded margin call. Say GME goes up $100, big deal. You're short $500 calls so you you're not worried. But the margin doubles and now you need $100k per contract.

    I did get caught when AMC went from $12 to $45 in like a 7 day period. But made up that loss quickly.
