Gap filled ✅ $NVDA

[Chris Camillo @ChrisCamillo]

Wall Street pulled off one of the greatest marketing tricks in history: convincing long term investors that volatility is risk and leverage is reckless, then selling them an entire industry of “low volatility, uncorrelated returns” designed to solve the problem.

For the vast majority of investors building wealth over decades, even brutal 50%+ drawdowns aren’t the enemy. Permanent loss of capital is.

Avoiding responsible leverage, concentration and volatility at all costs means sacrificing enormous long term compounding just to make the ride feel smoother.

The goal isn’t the smoothest path.

It’s maximizing long term wealth without taking enough risk to blow yourself up.

$DRAM back near the bottom of the range

Bought back my 10/16 $67 covered call on weakness today.

Sold: $2.94
Bought back: $0.94
Kept: $200 (68% in 6 days)
Cost Basis: $51.49 original → $47.46

Rinse and repeat

[Quentin Taliaferro @que_taliaferro]

$DRAM a potential double top near $62

4hr RSI above 70

Sold the 10/16 $67 call for $294

Continuing to lower my cost basis

Will buy back on weakness or

Get called out for $2,048 profit (+41.4%)

If it expires worthless, cost basis drops from $49.46 to $46.52

Mastery is rarely about the noise and almost always about the patience to wait for the opening. Most people lose because they are too eager to swing at everything.

$BTC had a strong run before these recent red days

ETFs brought in +$986.8M last week

+$3.52B in August

Outflows every session this week so far, but September is still green

200 day moving average reclaimed, this looks like a healthy pullback to me

I’m positioned bullish

Excluding Tesla and SpaceX, $AVGO and $GOOGL are the only two names (out of the 13 largest companies in the world with a market cap over $1T) that are currently in a bear market.

Nice exit on $DRAM. I figured the pre earnings selloff setup on $NVDA was bullish

Both stocks up 4%+ in the after hours

Expecting more upside in the AM

A job interview is basically two adults pretending the main reason you want the job isn’t the direct deposit.

[Doctor Profit 🇨🇭 @DrProfitCrypto]

$BTC: Bears will become very loud in the next days, and bulls will feel the pressure and the market is designed to trap those late bulls and punish them for being late to the party. A manipulation to flush away the weak hands is likely & and before people take words out of context:

I’m expecting a sideway range between 71-82k as mentioned in the Sunday report, with 71k as floor level, and 82k that needs to see a breakout and I’m betting on that breakout, no matter if it happens on the first or third attempt. To make this point clear as well: I’m not shorting, I’m not selling and I’m keeping my spot positions from 62k open.

Drink tea and relax.

[Quentin Taliaferro @que_taliaferro]

Trade timing is always harder than getting the read right

I knew $NVDA earnings was always a bullish setup

Even Michael Burry bought calls

[Quentin Taliaferro @que_taliaferro]

Just in time for the pre earnings pump. If you bought calls Friday congrats $NVDA

Update: Bought the call back today for a $60 profit

Captured 21% of the original premium

My $DRAM cost basis is now $49.46 with shares at $56.30.

I closed early to get in front of $NVDA earnings tonight.

$DRAM back at the top of its most recent 4H range

I said I'd sell another call on the next pop

Sold the 09/18 $60 call for $288

Continuing to reduce my cost basis

Goal is ownership with little out of pocket money or quick flip

[Quentin Taliaferro @que_taliaferro]

Constant dilution for more $BTC is one thing

Constant dilution for more USD I’m not a fan of

The market is signaling it doesn’t care about reserves it only cares about $BTC price @MSTR

[*Walter Bloomberg @DeItaone]

$MSTR - STRATEGY BUILDS $1.6 BILLION WAR CHEST

Strategy has created a new $1.59 billion USD Cash pool, giving it more flexibility to buy Bitcoin, repurchase shares or manage debt.

The company also holds a $5.1 billion USD Reserve.

Strategy raised roughly $2 billion by selling 18.3 million MSTR shares last week, directing most proceeds to the new cash pool.

No Bitcoin was purchased or sold, leaving holdings unchanged at 840,447 BTC.

[The Kobeissi Letter @KobeissiLetter]

BREAKING: Nvidia, $NVDA, is hiking prices of many servers containing its AI chips by more than 15% as memory costs soar, per Bloomberg.

The price hikes will go into effect on systems shipped early next year and will include those with the flagship Vera Rubin and Grace Blackwell chips.

“AI-flation” continues.
