This is the stuff that pisses me off. Trying to buy votes and not stimulating anything. Instead of solely working on unemployment and failing businesses, we give out hundreds of billions that go right into bank accounts and stimulate nothing and of course we exclude a few percent of the population. I’d love to get my free money and throw it at some stocks too. SMH.

 
You guys saw this in here, right?  https://www.complex.com/life/2020/05/cannabis-could-prevent-covid-canadian-study

Weed stocks seem to be waking up after getting pulverized the last yearish.
Lol. We go from human clinical trials to tests in labs being the cure to this:

The existing research was performed on artificial 3D models that mimic parts of the body that are impacted by COVID-19, like airways and intestinal tissues. At this point, there’s no way of knowing for sure whether these strains of cannabis that worked on the 3D models in a lab would act the same way on real people.

POT STONKS GO UP PLEASE!

 
Explain to me like I'm a 6 year old how to make over $40k in two months selling Nerv puts
Interested now? I would be too if I were reading my posts.

$40k will depend on Put prices next month, hopefully I can repeat ... but here you go

This month:

NERV 6/19 Puts sold;

80 $5's @ $1.25 = $10,000 premium

20 $7.50's @ $2.50 = $5,000 premium

20 $10's @ $4.20 = $8400 premium

Total $23,400 premium this month.

Of course this is all assuming the stock price holds and these all expire.

 
Who is still holding BLMN? 

This is looking the highest close this stock has had in over 2 months. I know intra day it touched 13.50 and change a few weeks back. 

I am starting to rethink the 13 target.......mmmmmmm. 27% inside a week is nice. But this can be breaking out to new highs here in the next few days. 

Mmmmmmm

I have 400 shares at 9.19 thanks to you. I sell when you sell 😊!  Thanks again, this is my first rodeo.

200 @ 9.30

 
:hifive:

I have so many downtrodden pot names in my portfolio that I'm going to need this to cure not only Covid, but cancer, blindness and erectile dysfunction before I'm the black on these names. :lmao:
Flipped it again. the stock market is better than the craps bubble machine at the Luxor.

Stupid f'n work...  Missed out on DKNG dipping to 27.53.  I've been waiting for a dip to add a little more.  

And the pot stocks!  CGC made me a lot of money in 2018.  Lost a lot of profits letting some ride too.

If my math is correct, my break even stock price is $4.30. Seems to low. Maybe someone smarter than me can confirm or straighten me out.

NERV is trading today mid $14's ...so seems that it would take a catastrophic event in the next 4 weeks for me to lose.

$75K in margin to make $23K in premium (30%) would typically be much more risky than $4.30 break even on a $14 stock that continues to gain each day

... at least in my limited experience.

 
Thanks for that. Jumped in TLRY quickly for a win. Just went from a losing day with NVDA to a win for the day. 
I never got in on TLRY and will never understand it's rise into the 200's.  Watching that was was insane.  It was like someone gave the keys to the Fort Knox to a bunch of stoners and they traded all the gold for bud.

Does it have Phase III data coming out for roluperidone in that window? It seemed like it but I just did a cursory look. If the results suck, that'll do it.

DKNG is trading at 28.35 AH if that works for you.

I'm holding some right now, didn't get in as low as you. What's the sell target? Right now I have an open order in to sell half at $12.50, then that alert will have me watch it to see when I want to sell the rest. Think I should change that strategy?

Yes, the report is due sometime in June. I'm hoping LATE June ... or extending the report date due to covid.

If they do report, could be good news or even moderate news ... but I'm fine with no news as the stock seems to keep crawling upward in anticipation.

They have 3 drugs in the works ... so hopefully they hit on at least one of them.

So, with the information we have that many are gambling in Stonks (like me, to be honest) with fun money, how can we take advantage? 
My, "Magic Football Winnings," account:

ALSK / APPS / DAC / DSKE / EDN / LK  / NRT / WTI

@Captain Fantastic, I believe, recommended DSKE, bought 100 at $1.27 each. Now at $2.54, will hold for a little while longer. Positive news has been coming from them the last few weeks. 52W High is $5.17 

Can't remember if @BassNBrew or Oz threw it out, but, WTI is performing well.

ALSK pays a good dividend. EDN is a three month thing. APPS is a three month thing. NRT has an ex-divided coming soon. Same with DAC. LK is a loser right now.

Thanks to you in at $9.35...still holding!

I will have a price target update either tomorrow or Tuesday. 

This is the highest it has closed in quite sometime and could break to new highs post Covid collapse. 

I am going to see how it behaves tomorrow. It is very encouraging to see a 2.5% move on a red day in the market. Momentum is certainly looking good. I just hate being greedy. 

Let’s see what happens tomorrow. $12 is in sight and may be a smart exit point.

Stay tuned.

I'm HODLing - does that count?  In for 400, as well.  Up about 20%.  Not sure whether to trade that one or just look at it again in 5 years.

 
Anytime it’s a red day for the market as a whole and your number 1 holding is in the red - but you in the green because 2 & 3 were up that’s a win
Nice. All I hope for is beating the indexes. This dip worked out well because I’m around +20% over the S&P since the peak on 2/20 which is really good. I’d take that as a great year. I’m up and it’s still down.

 
NVDIA revenue up 39% over last year (and in the midst of a pandemic).  Down 1% after hours*.  Yep!

*to be fair, it's up pretty good YTD, but, still that seems like an amazing number that should have popped.

Yeah that one didn't work out for me so now I have to hold it. Not taking a loss on that stock.

I chickened out and got out today...

 
Why JPM over C?  Bought both near the bottom and C has done better and based on 52 wk highs, has still been beaten down more. 

JPM seems like one of your dads investments where it slowly does up.  Solid pick but not a fbg type pick

I’m shocked that the value of the puts hadn’t diminished a lot more.

C is good, too. But for me, personally, I need some boring to go with what’s not really a boring overall portfolio. It’s best in breed. But I’m pretty sure JPM has run hotter than C anyway, at least over the last several years. Not looking at charts, though.

You know anything about $AYRSF? SPAC that consolidated 5 companies about a year ago. MSO in Massachusets and Nevada as of now. Per the earnings call this morning looking to acquire their way into new markets by the end of the year. Seems like a well run business, but I wouldn't consider my due diligence "great". 

 
Thanks for that. Jumped in TLRY quickly for a win. Just went from a losing day with NVDA to a win for the day. 
Crazy. This #### is up another 6% in AH. I need to get over the fear and just take the plunge when I see stocks like this. What could possibly go wrong in the casino?

 This has to be the oddest stock action that I've experienced. 

Unheard of premiums out of the gate ... the stock continues to climb and the puts are still paying well.

I had an order in late in the day today to sell another 20 $5's at $0.80 but it didn't trigger.

Can't believe we can still get 16% on these.
