  1. Good thing I bought some FB before earnings thinking it was a cheap tech stock. WTF. Need to stick to index funds.
  2. No I did not unfortunately but thanks for the reminder. Stonk meltdowns have had me preoccupied at the moment, but need to revisit some P2E NFTs. That and staking….got to do it just to learn.
  3. Thanks. Agree there are a ton of P2E projects coming online. But I need to start with one. You can play crypto raider on iPhone browser, correct? I joined the guild of guardians discord, missed a free drop by a few weeks. Gameplay looks pretty interesting. too bad startup costs are >$600 USD for most of these…makes me hesitate a bit considering how many projects there will be this year.
  4. So what’s best way to lookout for NFTs aside from browsing OpenSea? Any particular discords that are full of good ideas? I like the gaming NFT space a lot. The crypto raider approach looks pretty intriguing, combines gaming, esports, gambling all together. there is a guild known as YGG, Yield Gaming Guild, where they collaborate on yield generating NFT games. Their discord lists 10 or so 2022 target games: A Xie Infinity, League of Kingdoms, the sandbox, EmberSword, Illuvium, Guild of guardians, Star Atlas, Thetan Arena, Vulcan verse, Mir4, and Splinterlands. Many of these are pre-Beta but u can start speculating now on NFTs. Some will be busts for sure, but others could be real winners. Lots to dig through though. Would be nice to be one NFT each and see what wins.
  5. I had been using PayPal to buy but fees are high. Just started on Coinbase. anyone using the Coinbase wallet? Good enough? ideally would like to throw enough in to play with some gaming NFT buys. It’ll be interesting if the NFT space provides a pricing floor to ETH or other.
  6. BTC question, all the maintenance of the blockchain is done by farming servers, correct? So what happens when 100% of the BTC float is issued…how are the servers compensated for continuing maintenance of the blockchain?
  7. Thanks for inputs. I’m in similar situation at 45 and could prob retire now and live comfortably. one thing always in my mind though, I learn a lot daily in my work and via colleagues. I work in tech with some sharp people and they give me some of the best investment ideas and keep me current. I worry if I retire id become stupid and obsolete in a matter of years. How to stay sharp with a 40+ year retirement? also I have elementary age kids so figure I should work at least until they are in high school, just in case they need an extra helping hand. for me retirement really comes more to what new thing would I want to do with my day, rather than just walking away from Co. it’s more than a number, once u have the number that is, and I’m not sure I know yet what that new thing would be.
  8. Wrote some covered calls this week: AAPL: Jan 28 $195 @ $ 2.25 ABNB: Feb 18 $190 @ $ 3.80 AMAT: Feb 18 $180 @ $2.85 Pays for some Xmas gifts for sure. Now I need to learn to not look at them for a bit. I usually look for > 8% OOTM, 60-80 days to exp, > 1% return, and hopefully near all time highs.
  9. Anyone buying the dip yet on ETH? I wouldn’t mind picking up some, but how far sub $4k?
  10. Bought some ABNB this afternoon. Expect it to crash further now that last dumb money is it.
  11. I also have the silverware, inherited. We use it 1-2 times a year. It’s nice, but annoying to wash by hand. It’s one of those things I’d never buy but it’s kinda nice to have 12 hrs a year. I’ve never priced it out...but if the world goes to anarchy, I could trade a spoon for some bread or a beer. So I got that going for me.
  12. I write covered calls often. I typically shoot for a 1-2% return for the contract, 14-30 days out, and ~8-10% OOM. example I’m short FB 320 right now, 11 biz days to exp. if I sell at 320, fine with me for mid April. Ive also done well with QS, but had some called away. Thought about doing some QQQ covered calls as well today, but didn’t get to it. You don’t get rich quick this way, and it’s definitely irritating when they go against you. But in my opinion worth trying.
  13. More like a car daily. Being rich sucks.
  14. I dig this thread. I’ve been dabbling for a number of years and COVID has definitely accelerated the number of options trades I do. I’d say I’m much more of a gut feel and chartist than a true greek symbol quant. Primarily calls and covered calls, not as much on Put side. today I’m long calls NVDA, CRWD, PYPL, CRM, DD, WFC. All expire before end of March. I’m short covered NVDA, QS, and CRWD. one thing I’ve found annoying is unloading a call spread when close to expiration, especially when short call is OOTM. I feel like I’m not getting a good price for the whole distance of the spread. So lately my short call will expire one week before long call...makes it easier to sell. Another thing, purely driven by greed, is I buy the call and wait a bit to sell the covered call in the vertical. My hope is equity goes up 1-2% and then I write. Of course downside risk is a bit more. Trade idea I’m looking at: DKNG covered calls. I’m long stock, and looking one month out. $71 calls pay a great premium imho. Probably cause of the super bowl.
