OFFICIAL STOCK MARKET AND ECONOMY THREAD VOL. A NEW CHAPTER

[iheartboost]

And people miss out on great opportunities because of their ego and limited capacity to think outside the box. *Shrug*

You heart boost? Then you should know many sneaker companies passed on boost. They probably thought it was stupid. I mean, obviously it’s ugly, but that’s no reason to dismiss it so quickly. It’s their loss. Same here. Laugh, but ultimately it’s your loss.

I'm all for thinking outside of the box, but this is not shoes or boost foam technology, its a highlight reel. I'm trying to wrap my head around the concept of this. No diss g.

EDIT: My bad hennessy , not trying to shift the thread.

Someone explain this to me. It was purchased for $18.

Which part. The math of why its $18?

 

[antidope]

10yr crossed 1.5%. Really keeping an eye on what happens from here.

10yr crossed 1.5%. Really keeping an eye on what happens from here.

What does this mean?

 

[Based Jesus]

All in all I've only lost 8% off of my portfolio this week
I can live with a temporary loss of a couple thousand
I'm too broke to have lost any major amount

 

[ballinsam23]

Which part. The math of why its $18?

If it was bought for $18. Does this mean that if PLTR reaches $65 by March 12, then the person gets $19500? What if it doesn’t? Do they only lose the $18.

What does this mean?

10 Year Treasury rate is at 1.5% currently. IMO, the effect is twofold. If yields for bonds go up to 1.5% that's the yield of the S&P 500. The argument becomes why be in stocks if you're in a search for yield if you can get it from treasuries that are totally risk-free.

More importantly, the cost of borrowing goes up and companies can't utilize cheap leverage particularly the high growth tech names. They'll continue to sell off.

If it was bought for $18. Does this mean that if PLTR reaches $65 by March 12, then the person gets $19500? What if it doesn’t? Do they only lose the $18.

The math on how much they gain is not that binary sadly, but the latter on what they will lose is accurate. If it doesn't hit $65 and they hold it to the exercise date that will expire worthless.

BUT if the stock climbs from here and trends toward $65 they will be able to sell that option for more.

I tried to hold my puts on TWTR until it went red but it just won’t go even with the market getting beat the **** up

 

[johnnyredstorm]

Short dated calls for a bounce aren’t the worst idea if you don’t mind risking money

 

[broncos19dm]

This TDOC beating is unreal

 

[crownedhead]

I need a support circle guys.

I know most of us are in here for the long term and this is just a bump in the road.

But I need someone to hold me. This is painful

 

[OprahsBabyDaddy6]

stop, it’s already dead

GME is a succubus. Lot of the lows from that flash crash the other day got taken out.

Definitely adding ETSY tomorrow if it sells off after earnings.

If it was bought for $18. Does this mean that if PLTR reaches $65 by March 12, then the person gets $19500? What if it doesn’t? Do they only lose the $18.

No or else you could just buy expiring options for pennies every Friday just before close & profit. For your example you would need the $19500 in your account to actually exercise the contract.

What would actually happen is if PLTR rockets 200% in two weeks is you would just sell the contract for several thousands.

It’s a lotto ticket basically. Very short dated, very out of the money. Honestly not a bad way to earn in this market provided you’re only putting up a neglible amount of money.

Y’all wanna think this GameStop **** is funny and cool and it killed the market twice. Never forget when roaring kitty ****** everyone in the ***.

 

[turbospartan]

Good thing I bought ROKU yesterday at $410

Especially after not buying at $350ish a few weeks ago

 

[anderson]

I ain't buying anything. not right now.

 

[noskey]

Y’all wanna think this GameStop **** is funny and cool and it killed the market twice. Never forget when roaring kitty ****ed everyone in the ***.

Howd GME break the market? Overleveraged shorts had to sell to cover their bad bet? Honestly curious.

 

[sohi 23]

Man **** is ugly. I’m not opening any financial apps until April

 

[ballinsam23]

Set stop sells on every position i'm in. I'm not going negative man **** that.

 

[iheartboost]

GME and AMC holding up for all the red in port right now, lol.

 

[dman14]

added to ARKF
portfolio down 7% this week

 

[anderson]

tough to see thousands of dollars in profits just deteriorate in a few days.

 

[crownedhead]

Y’all wanna think this GameStop **** is funny and cool and it killed the market twice. Never forget when roaring kitty ****ed everyone in the ***.

Really?

The stock market can be broken twice by a singular retail investor?

That's who you're putting the blame on?

That's an indictment on the system then.

Let's not do that

 

[QU!K]

Ya I don’t get blaming Gamestop for losses

Hedge funds try to short it

Retail investors try and exploit this

How does that result in a market crash for everyone else?

You know I appreciate you bro, but this is misguided at best. All he did was invest and be passionate in a company he believes in. RobinHood, some hedge funds, some clearing houses etc are the ones who manipulate the market for their personal gain.
