Just comforting to see the long term theses intact during days like these.

Agreed. I’ve had some decent reports that triggered a drop but I feel good knowing most of what I own should be good to go in 5-10 years.

So he was correct that the daily percentage changes on bitcoin vs GBTC won't line up because of the fact that crypto trades 24/7. But part of what you're seeing is it going from a premium to a discount. I bought more today and already have 1/3 of my net worth in crypto. 

I admire your set of stones my friend.

If you own an MLP in a tax-advantaged account like an IRA or 401K, you have to pay taxes on it, even though the account itself is otherwise tax advantaged.

 

An MLP or LP is structured in such a way that the corporation itself doesn't pay taxes, the tax liability is passed to the shareholders. You'll get a K1 telling you what profits were earned on your behalf and you have to pay the tax on that yourself. Since it's inside an IRA or 401k, though, the government isn't getting their cut, and they definitely want it, so it's on you to come up with it. Generally if your share of the corporation's profit is $1000 or more.

What I have trouble figuring out is how to easily tell if a given ticker is an MLP, because on etrade or yahoo finance or whatever, I can't seem to find where they put that info. I own a PTP in a taxable account so I have to do the K1 dance every year, thankfully it's not inside a retirement account so I don't have this added worry of the IRS wanting into my IRA.

Yeah I get the timing of GBTC and BTC trading hours.

It just seemed extreme that at market close yesterday bitcoin was at 49,174 and GBTC was at 48.40. Today at market close bitcoin was at 49,160 and GBTC closed at 45.64. I'm probably an idiot and missing something more than the premium swinging.

Nope not an idiot, it’s just the market taking a dump today so GBTC didn’t track the price of Bitcoin like it’s supposed to.

That 152 won’t matter. Seems like an anomaly at the tail end of AH. But yeah, things are grumpy now. If you’re new to this it’s probably disconcerting but this is what owning growth is like. I added a little to AXON, FVRR, ETSY, SE, SQ, TTD, and ABNB today. Very little because I have decent positions already and I’m not sure this is over, but in 5 years I won’t even remember this.

Whelp I averaged down on TSLA.  Still have a crappy average ($740) but better than it was.  Hopefully this is just one in a long line of many TSLA dips and not an actual mid-term top.  Either way, I like the stock.

GME explodes tommorrow morning again. Traders will stay away from the bond market influence on conventional stocks. Traders instead will swing for the fence on GME, maybe AMC. This isn't financial advice, only my gut.

Interesting move given our whole discussion a couple days ago about whether or not we are in a tech bubble.  Tesla is already priced like its going to eat the entire industry and has a CEO that openly tries to manipulate the value of its stock/investments on Twitter. If there is a tech bubble to pop, this might be the poster child.

Yep - got one today.  One for BIP, which I had a grand total of 4k worth in an IRA for about a year.  Another for USO, which I owned for 3 days.

Eh, the chances of you exceeding $1,000 in UBTI is pretty small unless you had a big chunk of an LP or MLP in an IRA.  Most MLPs have negative UBTI, anyway.  I got a letter on those two and I'm 99.99% sure that they aren't anywhere close to the threshold.

YOLO and I have had such a wonderful life at that.

Today I go all-in with GME. 

First let me say that this is not sound financial advice and I am not a cat. Don't do what I do with money you can't lose. It's reckless at best and could implode on me in a big way.

I think there is a real chance (above 15%) that GME could get caught in a gamma squeeze. It tried to happen yesterday when the stock showed massive support at 125 which gave it fuel to push to 150. Breaking 150 triggers so many call options that once it broke through it was knocking on the 180s. Fuel stops get triggered at 125, 150, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, and 800. Some serious money has put this options ladder into play.

But as we also saw yesterday, once the market turned massively red, it was nearly impossible to sustain this momentum and the hedge funds needing it go below 125 (for the first call options trigger) were able to suppress the stock by yesterday's closing bell.

But in Frankfurt the stock is already up 11.3%. and I don't believe retail was selling shares below $125 when the aftermarket the day before hit $184, Euro overnight was $160, and premarket US was $170. I think massive money was dumped to further short this thing. 

An all-out war is happening and we are all just along for the ride. I see this as a once in a lifetime event. The call options a few weeks out are also heavily being invested in so even if this thing does not get liftoff today, I sense this battle will continue for weeks if necessary.

We have a LOT of the stock in Diamond hands. Ryan Cohen's team is buying. Other hedge funds likely loaded when it bottomed below $50 this past week as well. Wall Street Bets crowd is buying and holding. Activists are in the game to punish the naked short-sellers on a company they have found memories of. We know that short-interest remains high and lots of tricks are being done to disguise the amount of that short position.  

This is not a situation likely to be repeated anytime soon. It's happening with GameStop because the company was so badly managed that it was truly vulnerable to go the way of Blockbuster. We now know that is off of the table. Gamestop isn't going anywhere. Cohen's team + allies will be pivoting. And to get the right team in place, this company will recall their stock (for voting). It happened last year and I believe will happen this year as well. When that happens, these synthetic positions allowing this massively leveraged short will be fully exposed.

Worst case scenario is I am stuck in a pivoting company that might not be that far from even earning their price valuation.

In short, I LIKE THE STOCK.

Assuming we have a mostly green stock market today, I am going to be doing the following:

1. I already moved in a sizeable mount of money into my trading account yesterday to have fresh ammunition.

2. Exit every non-GME position I own before the day's end.

3. Actively daytrade GME with the goal of ending up with massive shares of GME. I have an average price of $45.90 now. I am ok with ending up with an average price of $100. I am buying dips and selling highs and will be extremely active today to do my part to help trigger the $125 and $150 fueling points.

This game is being played way above all of our paygrades, but I saw enough yesterday that I think the gamma play (either today or in the near future) is a real possibility.

Know my shares are in diamond hands. I will be active, but I will end the day with at least twice my lofty position (and maybe a lot more).

YOLO and mostly for the LULZ.

Been up since 3am watching the premarket action.

 

By golly, I think you're on to something.  It would have already plummeted if it was going to.

 

Currently holding 102 shares at $138.25 average.

 

I'm ready to double my position if given the opportunity.

Best of luck. Our efforts may fail, but this is the right side to be on. I have a feeling we have some heavyweights on our side as well. The first battle happens at $125.

Win or lose, I'm just happy to be here for it.

That 15% chance of a "gamma squeeze" is worth the price of admission alone...

 

Something big is going to happen between now and the end of March.  Today almost seems too obvious so I'm not gonna be on the edge of my seat for it.

Even in the worst case scenario, this may still be a catalyst to rid us of that 2 day mandatory settlement period.

 

I don't know if I'm part of the problem, or the solution, but I'm here for it!
