My guess is meme stocks up normal good stocks down. It’s been a wild week and it’s only Wednesday.

TLT puts was a great play by you. I wish I thought of that.

I don’t get many right but selling my CRM calls last week and swapping to BMY calls and shares was definitely the right move.

I was frustrated Tuesday with having to close out a number of spec plays for losses in the AM draw down. I started building the next set of spec positions 25-30 basis points a day Wed and early today.

Losses today were much, much smaller - and BTC was again the biggest hickey. Anyway, had some cash to nibble on commodity plays and may scoop up some tech tomorrow.

Oh, and huge gains on bond etf puts this month.

Have to apologize. I just looked at the GME chart for the first time today.

My wife had to come in and ask why I was laughing so hard.

I really hope none of you got burned too badly on that - perhaps some of you even made some ducats.

I think pot stonk next in the rotation. I've been right all week 😉

What respectable party doesn’t also have shrooms? LFG!

🍿🍿🍿Well I’m just excited to see today’s shenanigans. Hoping the put gods will smile upon my puts today.

Me, too.

I honestly hope those jumping into this again actually take profits. Don’t buy into the narrative of sticking to the suits.

You beat them by TAKING PROFITS. Not by holding bags.

Anyone holding AMC?

I have some September calls, regardless of the meme stock hype I think there is potential by the summer. I also got them before AMC blew up

Is anyone getting into the GME craziness today?

Getting out, yes

I wanna see banks issue a no new shorts alert. They gotta save these shorters from themselves.

After this move it's irresponsible to NOT take any lotto calls into Friday, right?

I've got some LEAPS for fall. I'm getting worried because RKT beat earnings and is a top short stock too. If they start to get gamma/short squeezed too could get really bad. My LEAPS/common/lottos on RKT is like my hedge right now lol.

The way this market is watch NKLA moon today after earnings

Think the sell off will continue tomorrow?

If bond yields continue to rise, yes.

I think the fed emergency brake gets pulled before 10 yr rates start looking parabolic and then market pendulum swings back

But also if the discount window stays close to zero, 5 or 10 year rates can only go so far, right?

Holding an April 50 strike call on PLUG - thoughts all?

Ha! Fair, digging into the details, the negative revenue was largely due to warrants being called early. So, could be a bump in the road or a sign of crash and burn. Haha.

Hey! Any Google folks know if it’s possible to negotiate fully remote if a contract role is hybrid? Personally, I don’t want to relocate and go to the office on a contract role given the current economy. Plus, I’m assuming contractors are the first to go in layoffs. I just think it’s a fair trade off if I’d be allowed to work fully remote. I’m also trying to have flexibility to manage my Airbnb business in a different country. Same time zone as the home office if I’d travel weeks at a time.

Rents don’t make/break my mortgage payment but I’m leaving a lot on the table if I don’t increase significantly.

Good traders tend to be flexible. I can make money in all kinds of markets, being a bull or a bear. Today was a headscratching day. We rallied a lot farther than we should have. We bounced in place's we shouldn't have. So, I have to ask myself? What the hell happened? While I made money today, I should have made lots more money. Remember the tip that markets don't count Pre-NY Mondays. If I decided to do my from last weeks low as opposed to today's low. I'm bullish. Additional info in reply post
