  1. I played it too fast and loose, and nearly paid the price. Lesson learned.
  2. Got way deeper in the midday chop than intended. Was up $900, then down $8000, and finally finished down $100. Gonna need to play that back and learn what not to do next time.
  3. IMO, a straddle was the right hedge and in this case made money both ways.
  4. Long 5/8 TWLO $165 puts. This thing needs to prove some support after this. I’m counting on imp volatility to exit.
  5. Took a few 5/8 BYND puts right before yesterday’s closing bell. Easy 25% this morning. Got lucky. Yesterday’s ROKU, SQ, and PTON calls have gradually been taken off the board this AM. TWLO is still my scarlet letter. I sold my $117 calls yesterday thinking I should be happy with 25%...and I know I should. But today this shit is trading up 1000%s. Oh well.
  6. Walked with just under $3K today, but I’m classic fail fashion, I got my after hours positions wrong — sold all my TWLO calls and kept a couple SQ and PTON calls (just in case). Had it backwards: TWLO pops and the others sell off. Womp. That’s the game. Still a solid day.
  7. This feels to me like pre-earnings blow up and even or down day-after-earnings.
  8. So, I’m sitting on short-term (2-4 week exp) PTON, ROKU, SQ, and TWLO calls. I bought them late, but am up 10-30%. With the last couple days’ climb, I suspect we’re gonna see an afternoon and/or post-earnings-call, after hours sell-off, and I should take my profits soon. However, I’m curious if anyone sees something different.
  9. Agreed. IMO, the future of food isn’t old school agriculture.
  10. I’m a moron, but I’m probably gonna try to make something happen in the BYND 5/8 chop, especially with this dip. I’m sure to fuck this up.
  11. Oof. Sorry, man. Maybe it’ll crater in the next couple days? I’ve begun treating BYND like TSLA, mostly in terms of its extreme irrationality. It’s turned my performance with it around.
  12. Got squirrelly and went long 25 BYND overnight. Glad I did.
  13. For BA, I’m expecting to hold for at least a year or two. That’s just me.
  14. IZEA is doing it. Those crazy bastards.
  15. $2 MVIS straddle worked out with that dip, plus I quickly flipped some $1 calls on the buy-back. It’s not fuck-you money, but it’s an easy 20+%.
  16. I’m thinking about a $2 straddle this morning. If this thing has as much juice and volatility as I hope, I may be able to make a play.
  17. Warren Buffett's favorite stock-market indicator hits record high, signaling a crash could be coming Buffett clearly didn’t get the memo.
  18. Better UI is definitely important to me. I’ll give WB a look and, if I register, will use your link. Thanks, man.
  19. I’m using RH for medium- and long-term securities and Thinkorswim for swing and options. What’s the advantage of WeBull over Thinkorswim?
  20. Been in and out of UAVS four times today, and looking for a fifth before close.
  21. Who‘a holding until tomorrow? I may keep a little in just for the FOMO.
