Wall Street Pro. was floor trader member of various stock options and commodity exchanges..ran large trading shops now active trader Love selling option premium
Great analysis….been trading many years and I am a buyer of SPCX…your argument is correct…the big wins in AMZN etc…came during the build outs to profitably and afterward….the Market since 2008 pays up for GREAT GROWTH prospects…the SPCX will be a volatile few years…complete with the short recommendations…those geniuses lost billions misreadings TSLA….ALL BECAUSE the market pays for future growth not current cash burns….
If you never heard the express ‘SELL ON THE NEWS’ You have now….I am going to use today’s end the war rally to put on some option spreads to capture some of the extreme premium levels in some semiconductor names such as AMD and INTC…I am also going to bid for some puts below the market in some names that are going parabolic
@alphatrends Been in this group a few weeks…buy dips.selling calls on some position (parts)…can buy Ootm verticals with some profits to create bigger wins
I have not posted in a while but I continue to build trading positions trying to take advantage of high premium levels but not make hero calls on predicting prices…however as you will see from the trade I put on today that super returns are possible with what I believe are modest risk trades…today I got involved with more rare earth plays.. I bought LAC at $4.90,sold June 5 calls around .60 and to protect down to below $4.00 sold 2 $4.00 put and bought 1 $4.50 puts even $ on the 2 for 1…position wins even at $4 and makes 70 cents above $5 all in 51 days… at $4.50 I win 20 cents or over 😁annualized…also a clear home run trade at $5.00 plus
Current events are producing monster levels of fear…my guess is maybe a panic to sell over the next two days…this is a long shot guess…if this occurs it could be that stock markets bottom before a clearly understood ceasefire or victory …watching Monday evolve I will start nibbling on some calls(I am currently short 2 etf.s…SPY&IWM..)..will slowly cover these between Monday and Tuesday midday…
@Basssem666 Try to target support levels one day out and use put ratios targeting that strike.i then adjust in the first 15 min to target based on spot gamma numbers..been making great $ every day…only works at Vix levels like we are having
Perhaps no corporate management will admit the idiot waste of billions in the auto companies as they belatedly chased Elon Musk into the electric car business. FORD especially…only to fail and write off billions…it appears that gasoline prices may zoom and therefore those cars that can be charged at home may be in short supply…F & GM…fooled themselves
@Lindahl_Capital Great story but the dilution caps rally’s…eventually the breakout will occur as supply gets absorbed.Meanwhile I keep rolling and adding to short puts…
The QUESTION…how will stocks react to the Iran situation….spike in all prices causes equities lower…but be careful because if hints or evidence of Iran regime change or military defeats will send stocks to new highs very quickly..also getting more oil to markets from preciously restricted Venezuelan fields and soon after the defeat of Iran bodes well for energy costs .2003 shock &awe is somewhat of a precursor
Afraid of Trump//Iran situation?…President Bush released the Shock & Awe attack on Baghdad in May of 2003 and the stock market when vertical instantly….a successful take out of the current regime is the ultimate goal….if the US can achieve that goal via surgical strikes or somehow depose the Khamenie leadership this market will rip up….SPY probably to 710-720…I do not know the probability of this outcome but I will be looking for some calls on SPY for March expirations
A long weekend to think about markets and the recent reversals in some Mag 7 ….AI names…while contemplating the names on the new high list…I guess the outstanding thing to me is that some Mag 7 names should now be considered in bear markets…many traders and investors may not wake up to this new reality….and keep on buying…I may be wrong but the issue is how to make some $ without the volatility and risk…I reviewed the charts my way and after a lot of work it seems a 15% drop on average in those names from here is reasonable…line that up with the mags 7 etf and the target is around 52…the March 55/50 put spread can be bought for around 50 cents…
I intend to get in there…
My posts in December on the crypto names dropping into February has hit…bitcoin near my target of 72-74k….I will starting reducing exposure…equals 🤗casing in nice profits today 👍👍
