Bossman Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 8 hours ago, rick6668 said: It's going to take me a bit to digest and understand this. This is like another language... Took me a bit to figure it out as well. Why would someone pay ME to buy stock at a price lower than it's trading for? People buying puts are betting the stock price will go down and will be less than the strike price by the strike date. 5 hours ago, pecorino said: Related: Just sold four puts on PLTR with $25 strike for March 19th, netting a premium of $3 per (or $1200). Where is bossman to explain this better? Maybe he's at a NERV board meeting... 1 of 2 scenarios will happen here; Pecorino just pocketed $1200 for doing nothing .... 4 contracts (400 shares) x $3 ea = $1200 ... or, on 3/19/21 Pecorino will own 400 shares of PLTR at a cost basis of $22.00 a share ($25 strike price less $3 premium which he gets to keep regardless of if the stock is put to him or not) A win/win scenario if you don't mind owning PLTR for $22 If I wanted to own PLTR, I would also do this. OK, I talked me into it. I'm in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Sacamano Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Turns out the answer to my own question is miniscule volume. I would assume nobody is selling because of the PT increase and nobody is buying because of fear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Malaise Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 (edited) Glad I sold 60% of my BEEM when I did, but it hasn't helped soften the blow of what's happened to it lately. Of course that wasn't the only stock that hurt me today, but it's getting crushed. Have had a few 50s in my wallet for a couple of weeks. Combo of crappy weather and nowhere to blow it = forced savings. But I'm gonna hit the locally sourced meat market and pick up some steaks and a bottle of Rose, both I hope to make a pleasant memory of by 8pm before edible weed, booze and full belly puts me in a coma until I wake up and see what tomorrow brings. Well, other than morning diarrhea. Edited February 18 by General Malaise 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there are so many newbies on there that people take advantage of now. INSP and HCAT are two stocks I own and both were down about 2% today, normal based on their solid returns lately. They were both down 10% at one time last night and I couldn’t figure out why. I thought maybe a bad earnings report. Just weird price action sometimes that has 0 correlation with the actual trading the next day. Premarket is usually better, but I’ve notice more wild numbers AH. I’d expect TWLO to sell off a little after a good day but whatever you saw was very likely some idiot who put in a market order and got taken advantage of by a low ball ask.

Bonfire Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 I have been eyeing PLTR like a lot in here, but the lock up period has me spooked. I will wait till next week at earliest. Sold first option contract today, it expires tomorrow. Looking at making a sweet $4.50 total. Thinking I may use the proceeds for a downpayment on a G7.

stbugs Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 2 minutes ago, Bob Sacamano said: APPN getting hammered like a Portlandian with a bottle of rose and some edibles. Sort of glad I sold my last after it got over $200. Their growth (only 19% YoY for the quarter just reported tonight) doesn’t justify the stock price jump lately. I may get back in if it gets sort of reasonable because I like the company and it’s future but it was just way overextended. I’d bet it’s down under 200 easy tomorrow. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
