Trying to figure out if I want more or will wait. Already the third largest holding in my Roth (behind AAPL and VIG).
I don't time things much but I can see this going back to the 80's but it's also showing a little strength. Who knows?

When your time horizon is decades these swings matter less.

 
Why is Amazon going to tank AH?  And if we know this, why aren't we selling now.
It’s popped about 10-15% since it hit 2900/3000 a few times since September, November and even a couple weeks ago. Might be expectations of big numbers so even if they do blow away numbers it could drop AH. Hard to tell. If they really blow away and guide well, it could run up 10%.

A lot of times when the tech stock earnings have been yawned at even if really good, the stock will run a bit after the initial “disappointment” so I’m still thinking like @Capellathat 4K by end of this year is very doable.

 
These ladder algos keep doing the same thing everyday. They don't try to hold the price down during lunch period on the East Coast so the stocks push massively up. Rinse and repeat. Have your purchases in by 10:40ET and sell before 11:30ET each day.

 
It usually has absolutely insane after hours fluctuations, I’ve seen it dip 10% off excellent earnings and then bounce back. It moves too fast for me to try to time buying and selling, I’m just going to add some to my pile if it dips. 
 

I know it had one truly huge earnings gain after hours in the last year, think maybe last February, but I usually see dips. 
Last summer it jumped 300 AH/next day.  That was what took it to 3400-3500 before the dip back to 3000 and getting stuck in the low 3000's.

I always figured that was when the bosses went to 3 martini lunches and the interns were manning the terminals.

 
I will likely be holding my largest AMC and GME positions by close of today though (even though I have just a few GME stocks at present). I expect another wave of these ladders shortly and will be buying the dip

 
Went SPAC shopping today:

ENVIU - I think this one has been mentioned in here before. As you can assume from the ticker, this one is focused on acquiring an environmental sustainability company. Each unit gets 1 common + 1/2 warrant. Bought at $10.90.

SV - Supposedly targeting a company involved in "clean energy/storage, mobility, recycling." The units have already split on this one so I just bought some commons at $10.84. 

AACQ - Fintech play that has been getting a fair amount of buzz on r/SPACs. Led by Charles Drucker, the former CEO of WorldPay. Bought at $10.88.

FPAC - Another r/SPACs favorite that's interested in fintech. The folks over there are convinced that a merger will be happening fairly soon. No idea if that's true, but I'm in at $10.61.

CONX - In search of a 5G company. Founder is Charles Ergen, co-founder and chairman of Dish network. In at $10.51. 

SFTW - 15 months old, so if anything is going to happen with this one, it'll probably be within the next few months. Really low volume makes me think that nothing will be happening, but it's cheap enough that I still opened half a position. They're looking to acquire an enterprise software company. I bought at $10.63.

ETAC - Targeting a tech/software/internet company and seems to be drawing some interest from institutional investors. Bought at $10.49.

Wait... everyone is going back in?  I sold yesterday.

I don't think the short position is off at all. The hedge funds are working together to suppress the price via ladders.

They did some option trickery to avoid covering because very few people were selling. 

I think we are going to see these stocks vault upwards before March.

I like the stocks...LMAO

 
November? Who sells puts that far out? Great premium, but I wouldn’t touch it. Don’t want to lock up principal that long. Or are you trading naked? 
It's not my preference either, but 25% is 25%. The ones I'm in are August $20s, which is generally as far out as I prefer to go. With prices where they are, I find myself with more and more cash I want to earn on. I wouldn't anticipate holding that long in something this volatile anyway. I sold FLGT July $55 in January, and I was :thisclose: to closing them out yesterday (Didn't fill)

I don't think it's over.  I've heard that it's over a dozen times by now, just like we heard a thousand that today was going to be blood red as the market soars yet again.  Short interest numbers can be manipulated and we've already seen them outright lie about their positions, and it's holding pretty well considering retail still can't even buy it on the platforms most of them have their money in yet.

I'm HODLing some more, but I have a good average and am willing to lose all the paper profits in the end if it comes to that.  Pure gamble.

ETA: today's "sell off" was as MM manufactured as it gets too. Same size blocks selling on the same time frame stopping just short of tripping circuits to let it cool down until the circuit moved to the next level down, etc. 
Come again?

GME to me is like a sexy hot seductress who happens to be bat turd crazy.  You might try and tame the shrew for the ride of your lifetime, but the risk is she destroys everything in your life and leaves you penniless after the thrill is gone.  I ain't getting in the ring with that.  

Again.  :oldunsure:
:goodposting: Put a buy in for 500 AMC at $6.00 for kicks, though.

They don't call it YOLO for nothing!

 
I take no pleasure in watching anyone losing their ### off. But the sudden silence related to all things Gamestop and WSB on my social media accounts is a beautiful thing.

🥰
