January 31, 20214 yr 4 hours ago, Hmmm said: This guy speaks my languages. Thanks oh and my friend wants to know, VXX thrives on volatility, yes? If markets going to and fro then that’s where you go. Precisely. Some people buy SPY (S&P) or QQQ (nasdaq) put options as a hedge, but it’s quite expensive, and only pay out if the market actually tanks. Not if they kangaroo. VXX is also not that capital efficient if you buy it directly, or hold longer term. I like to buy the call options expiring in a few months out, slightly out the money, e.g. current March or April $25 strike options cost ~$350 per contract. If things start going haywire, those contracts will pay back in multiples. If everything simmers back down and you’re confident again, sell them for slight loss.

That bit about investigating this as a “pump and dump scheme” to push prices away from their “fundamental value” is particularly hilarious. What does the Washington Post think the entire stock market is, in the bailout age?

I have no visions of getting rich quick with these purchases but I believe a year from now I'll be better off than just letting the cash sit idle. Not that those are not good choices, just realize that AAPL and MSFT are the 2 largest holdings in SPY and account for about 12.5% of that index.
February 1, 20214 yr Here is my annual warning about a pending market crash, the company I work for funds the 401k match and a additional discretionary contribution annually. The date of that funding is today, so that means very soon the market will swoon, or so it always seems.

Makes zero fucking sense but what does these days? Anyways, you should all sell these names because me posting is the kiss of death. God damnit. I do not have diamond hands. Took my money down and cash out, SPCE going nuts right now.

Don't worry - diamond hands mean I ride this shit all the way down also. I also have the mentality of getting insanely pissed off on any loss and treating wins like 'meh'...a fucking curse.

It's an idea, that loses money, but buoyed by very strong retail speculation enthusiasm. It's very nice to swing trade or sell options (exploit volatility) against.

February 10, 20214 yr Quote The highly anticipated Rivian IPO could happen as soon as September with the electric truck startup seeking a valuation of at least $50 billion, Bloomberg reported. The timeline of the Rivian IPO could change and may even slip to next year, but the company has been discussing its plans with bankers, sources told Bloomberg. Rivian, which has backing from Amazon (AMZN) and Ford (F), has raised $8 billion over the past couple years and is seen as a credible challenger to Tesla (TSLA). that would give Rivian a market cap roughly equal to Ford, who reported $127B in sales last year. But we all know how this works, if they are seeking a valuation of $50B it will probably be at $100B by the end of the first day. Stop.The.Madness.

February 12, 20214 yr I bought a pauper's handful of Bumble today just based on the crazy ten bagger returns I've seen since purchasing MTCH stock a few years back. I think BMBL is a strong long term buy and hold.
