I will say that, if you look at the NERV premiums in a vacuum, ignoring where they were one week ago, they are still attractive. I would not steer someone away from selling some $7.50 puts for June which still pay a pretty rich premium. Kind of like buying CYDY when it was at $1. Not getting at 30 cents, but still a good opportunity for payout.Here's the news that you're looking for ...
Selling Puts / Lesson #36B
Put premiums will decay without "news" for two reasons;
1) closer you get to strike date ... snooze = loose
since there is less time for the stock price to drop to strike price = less risk
b) Stonk price goes up
further away from strike ... less chance of hitting strike = less risk
I'm afraid that ship has sailed on the ridiculous premiums that NERV was paying for what seems like very little risk.
Combination of both of the above in this case. #gottabequickerthanthat #bossmanvswallstreet #winning
Yeah. Hasn’t moved how I’d want but I’m not going anywhere. Don’t see anywhere else to put money. Supported by the asset value. Today seems like a rally on air so makes me think yesterday was some capitulation and hopefully shorts closing up shop. Doubt they want to be paying these dividends.Let’s hope he marks the bottomKuppy called bottom yesterday, too.
I may buy in again for the 3rd time - RevSharks stock pick of the week.Anyone here in INSG? I'm thinking the level here looks good for 20-30%. Applying a stop just under $9.50
Yep, that's what caught my attention. What kind of scalp % are you looking for?I may buy in again for the 3rd time - RevSharks stock pick of the week.
10% for sure. maybe 20+ like ya said.Yep, that's what caught my attention. What kind of scalp % are you looking for?
Q2 is going to be a lot worse for many companies so reality may set in during that earnings period. Will really depend on how good the outlook for this recovery is but could see a more prolonged dip at that point.Totally--and I get that. I think the market has room to go higher--and I think it will go higher. WIth that said--there will be another market downturn at some point--it's inevitable. My concern is that our goverment that has historically bailed us out big time during these downturns are not going to have the freedom to go all out as they have been able to in the past. If in the next 3-5 years we have some sort of major downturn--I just don't think the government can do what they just did again. That's what I'm worried about. Put it this way--if our government did not lower rates to zero, and did just a fraction of the stiimulous that they did---where do you think our markets would be right now?
Really hope that they can finish this 75 patient trial by end of May. After hearing that, Im not sure Im convinced. Lots of red tape just to get started and we know its not a slam dunk to enroll patients.
Cappy hits a round number https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l91ISfcuzDwMy trading account just hit a very round number and I just want to say thank Jeff Bezos, my family is very grateful even though you are likely a very terrible person.
This is gonna end so badly for some.
Tiny investors are historically bullish. Last week, the smallest of options traders (those who trade 10 contracts or fewer at a time) positioned themselves to bet on a rally, buying bullish calls and selling bearish puts at a record pace, according to Sundial Capital Research.
“When we look at a group of traders who tend to be wrong at emotional extremes, the warning sign is clear,” said Jason Goepfert, the president of Sundial. “There is no data we follow that is more worrying than this.”

Stock trading is the new sports betting. Three of the top online brokerages had almost 800,000 sign-ups in March and April. “I’m not here for the long run - I just want to throw a thousand bucks at something to see if I can make a few hundred.”
What was your cost on it. I’m still holding but it’s getting tempting. I think Todem is bearish on it but I don’t mean to speak for him.DIS is up at $120. Just popped over $3 in the last hour or so. Any news? Wonder if I should sell out what I have and take the money and run. @Todem have any thoughts?
$100 cost basisWhat was your cost on it. I’m still holding but it’s getting tempting. I think Todem is bearish on it but I don’t mean to speak for him.
I think it hits 130 but I am nooooooooo expert. 20% is a nice rake though. Gotta consider it imo$100 cost basis
Did it include reservations in the Orlando ER?They laid out plans for opening up their parks in Florida.
That’s great.....but if anyone thinks they are going to have the same revenue over the next 12 months.....as they did in 2019 you hold. If you feel like I do that is a pipe dream you know this stock is vastly over priced here.They laid out plans for opening up their parks in Florida.
No, but who do you think is going to be on those balloons attached to the bed? ####### Goofy, that's who.Did it include reservations in the Orlando ER?
I sold half a couple days ago. Hanging on to the rest and waiting it out.That’s great.....but if anyone thinks they are going to have the same revenue over the next 12 months.....as they did in 2019 you hold. If you feel like I do that is a pipe dream you know this stock is vastly over priced here.
Nowhere near the same revenue but not sure that matters for our purposes.That’s great.....but if anyone thinks they are going to have the same revenue over the next 12 months.....as they did in 2019 you hold. If you feel like I do that is a pipe dream you know this stock is vastly over priced here.
Furthermore, it traded between $90 and $120 for 5 years, including touching $120 in 2015. We're approaching 3rd quarter 2019 pricing and the revenue won't sniff that. Any COVID flare up and it tumbles.That’s great.....but if anyone thinks they are going to have the same revenue over the next 12 months.....as they did in 2019 you hold.

Long term...I am bull.I sold half a couple days ago. Hanging on to the rest and waiting it out.
What matters is selling high and buying low when you have a company that is clearly not going to produce revenues it had the last two years.Nowhere near the same revenue but not sure that matters for our purposes.
Is anything a strong BUY at this point?FYI I am completely out of DIS across all accounts. Just pushed the button.
This is dumb. We will get it again lower from here and we just booked some very healthy profits on a company that will have a major earnings recession. Not expansion.
This is a strong sell here.
I have a sell stop at 115. Plenty of profit for me there.What matters is selling high and buying low when you have a company that is clearly not going to produce revenues it had the last two years.
And then being able to buy it back lower. It will no doubt sell off again. Once the earnings fundamentals take over again. And if it does not...so be it. They pay a puny dividend (which is suspended right now) and their growth prospects are low for the next 12-18 months.
This is too obvious. I have no problems selling here.....and not looking back about it. It will not get away from us. No way.
Good move.I have a sell stop at 115. Plenty of profit for me there.
At this moment......other than telecom (T, VZ) financials (JPM, DFS) REITS (WRE), Oil (PEO, XOM, CVX) No.Is anything a strong BUY at this point?
My 403b is all stock but I am now 80-90% cash in my brokerage/roth (not a lot in there since I just started it). Sold everything but CYDY the past couple days.
I have some small positions in most of those right now (thanks to you). Any of them you'd buy at current prices or wait until they drop down? I have no VZ, XOM, CVX. Very small amount of WRE.At this moment......other than telecom (T, VZ) financials (JPM, DFS) REITS (WRE), Oil (PEO, XOM, CVX) No.
You will have opportunity to buy again. This is a range bound market.
Wait.I have some small positions in most of those right now (thanks to you). Any of them you'd buy at current prices or wait until they drop down? I have no VZ, XOM, CVX. Very small amount of WRE.
I like PRU, JPM, T, VZ, and LUV. I’m a piker, though.Is anything a strong BUY at this point?

Back when the free $ for everyone was announced, I was wondering about that $ and whether the market was going to go up and u p and up until they sucked those people in. Seems that is happening. Shades of dot com bubble where the same thing happened. Your plumber was telling you how he's killing the market.Stonks Go...... down?
What if your last sentence was March? I know 3 people who punted into the safe funds then and haven’t come back.Back when the free $ for everyone was announced, I was wondering about that $ and whether the market was going to go up and u p and up until they sucked those people in.

We shall see because this is unsustainable. It always is and it's been 12 years since the plumbers in the market have said 'never again', i hate the stock market'.
But we never capitulated. In fact it's been so long since we had real capitulation, a lot of people forget what it really looks like. A drop down this fast and recovery this fast is not even remotely painful.What if your last sentence was March? I know 3 people who punted into the safe funds then and haven’t come back.
Tell that to the people who sold at DOW 21k expecting the market to go to DOW 15K (plenty of posts in this forum expecting the DOW to drop lower than it did). We've never had a meltdown like this before or such an obvious buying opportunity. I would say smart money poured into the market.But we never capitulated.

Basing it on all the new online trading accounts. There is a ton of really dumb money pouring into the markets. Then I look at my trading. Even the bad moves I regret just after buying, end up winners. That's nuts.
Do you buy VZ and T mostly for the steady dividend or expect price increases in the stock too?At this moment......other than telecom (T, VZ) financials (JPM, DFS) REITS (WRE), Oil (PEO, XOM, CVX) No.
You will have opportunity to buy again. This is a range bound market.
My Value hat is firmly on. Very cautious here with this rally. Just knowing the earnings headwinds we are going into.......this is a traders market in terms of taking advantage of these swings.
Yea but some people sold off expecting worse. That would be capitulation.But we never capitulated. In fact it's been so long since we had real capitulation, a lot of people forget what it really looks like. A drop down this fast and recovery this fast is not even remotely painful.

I’m up 43% since March 12 which seems to be the low date in my account. I’ll tell my kid about this one day if he would care, which he won’t.Tell that to the people who sold at DOW 21k expecting the market to go to DOW 15K (plenty of posts in this forum expecting the DOW to drop lower than it did).

Congrats on the round number although I have no idea which one it is. I hit a great milestone in my total portfolio during this shutdown, which makes little sense. No chance I would have thought I’d hit even just 3 years ago. Wasn’t even thinking about retirement back then and now I check Zillow for houses near the beach and lake because I’m effin tired of the grind! Still 10+ years from real retirement age, but I can dream.I’m up 43% since March 12 which seems to be the low date in my account. I’ll tell my kid about this one day if he would care, which he won’t.
