    Yeah, I was down over 1k early today, ended down $.81.

    Sold a Jan 21 $17.50 put on ACCD for .75, I knew they reported after the bell today and took a chance on the earnings. The stock has been down lately, but I was still going to be happy with that buy in. They crushed the report and it mooned after hours, pretty sure I’m keeping that $75.

    Also sold a put on SOFI way out of the money, either way I’ll be happy with it. I’m beginning to warm to this strategy of easing into stuff you’re interested in while keeping your capital.

    I’ve got a put out on CMPS and a call on XOM that are both underwater, both moved better for me today. We’ll see if I continue my streak of no assigns or losses.

    Disclaimer: TBH, I did lose $75 on a day last year where I mistakenly set two options to “buy to open”, panicked and immediately sold. Watch your terms kiddies.

    That’s not a panic. That’s the right thing to do on an order error.

    Is the stock market going to tank?

    Major bank earnings on a Friday ahead of a three day weekend is very unusual.

    JPMorgan Chase, Citi and Wells Fargo will tell investors how they did during the fourth quarter and what to expect in 2022 when they report earnings on Friday.

    BlackRock (BLK), the world's largest asset manager and owner of the popular family of iShares exchange-traded funds, also reports earnings Friday.

    Hoping for good news from WFC, I've been riding that train for a long time. Up something like 65% in the past year. When they get their concent orders removed, look for 75-80$

    JPM gap up $4 on the first trading day of 2022 and is close to its all time high. Important day for the stock tomorrow. The gap is $10 lower than it’s closing prince today.

    I”m interested in some opinions from some hopefully- better- educated- than- me sources. In layman’s’ terms, how overvalued do we think the stock market is right now at the macro level. I just heard somebody say 30 trillion which is terrifying to me.

    I saw an analyst say it’s 10% for every 1% Fed raise. So a 30x stock would be worth 27x.

    That’s for stocks with earnings though. The high flying tech names with no earnings is anyones guess.

    Slowly backing out of the bitcoin thread…

    Been getting crushed by CMPS and ACCD, not to mention BBBY. Looks like Friday I’ll be doubling if not tripling down on two of them. Still keeping the faith.

    Luckily my energy plays are still keeping me comfortably ahead. The midstream stuff I bought around this time last year have served me well.

    XOM has been on a tear, my covered call isn’t looking well right now. I’m hoping for a small swoon tomorrow on the build of gas inventories, if so I’ll probably buy back at a loss to keep all of my position. If it doesn’t swoon tomorrow I’ve still got two weeks to hope for something to go wrong, heh. I’m half tempted to buy a put to hedge.

    Pleasantly surprised by my XOM stake. The dividend is enough to cover my gas bills...

    Compound annual return on IWM since the 2018 high is around 2.5%. Takes it all back at $173

    Broke my streak of not losing on options and being assigned. Had a CMPS and ACCD put option assigned today, a day early. Both were at a $22.50 strike, both of which could be bought a lot cheaper today. I’m not really bummed, as I was fully willing to buy at that price when I set the options to sell. I still gained .70 on each below what I was willing to pay at the time. I still have confidence both will end up making me money.

    Bought my $17.50 put on ACCD back for .04, lowering my cost per another .70. It expires tomorrow but I figured $4 was cheap insurance in case anything happens. Wish I’d have priced my SOFI put more in the money, good timing on that one. With the bank charter news that one has been free money.

    The scrap man came by the shop, split up amongst the guys I ended up with $112. Dipped my toe into the SPAC world, bought 10 shares of GGPI. I had set the buy a few days ago at $11.00, came close a few times and finally filled after hours today. Polestar hit their sales targets and barring more chip shortage problems should be primed for tailwinds.

    I feel a bit free without the puts I had sold, I still have some cash to allocate and can now concentrate on the dividend/distribution front.

    Is it game on this time? Long over due for a reset. I expect one full standard deviation from high. Cash burning a hole in my pocket.

    Lows are often made on an expiration Friday

    GME either side of $100. Not surprising on an expiration day and could lead to closing volatility

    I noticed the investment I made in ndaq at 200$. Per. Has lost 22 dollars a share
    So. I did the only sensible thing
    Bought 10 more shares!
    I would have bought more but like having some extra cash in the checking account

    And that lost 2 dollars a share by the end of the day

    I’m still pretty sure it will claw back to its historical high of 216$ per share

    178 million option contracts or $3 trillion in notional expire today! Largest ever. Expiration fireworks or are there $2 trillion in worthless calls coming off and there will be nada?
