    @4thgenhorn did you check these on the 12th?  they were .05 for a bit.  now floor is .1

    something like 1500 new users bought raider nfts in the last week, doubling the # of unique wallets.

    if you owned raiders prior to recruiting event you could mint your own new nfts for ~$100.  instant 3x.  if you rolled a rare on your minted nft, i sold one for .58.  almost 20x

    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. 

  2. 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. 

  3. 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. 

  4. 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.

    In the world of Precious Metals stacking, one thing never gets any love:

    Silver spoons. As in, silver place settings of any style.

    There are sayings about silver spoons that imply that they are connected to great wealth, and maybe in the 1700s that was true. But nowadays, you can buy them in good condition for less than the price of an ounce of silver, and you can USE them to eat with at every meal, anti-bacterial properties and all. Class up the kitchen!

    Compare these to coins or rounds and ingots.

    You get rounds or ingots of silver, you keep them in a drawer, and when you die, your lazy crackhead children sell them for half price to whichever pawn shop is between them and the liquor store.

    You get old silver coins, you keep them in a drawer, and when you die, your lazy crackhead children dump them in a Coinstar machine at face value so they can buy a carton of Reds.

    But on the other hand, if you get silver place settings, you spend years enjoying them every time you eat (and non-silver utensils taste nasty, trust me), and then when you die, your lazy crackhead daughters fight for them as they magically contain whatever remnant of your love remains for them.

    Your lazy crackhead sons will still pawn them for half their value.

    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.

    its a small intersection of symbols with high enough vol to sell calls on, and low enough vol that you want to hold long term. 

    something like that would be PLTR, or other more stable bluechips (msft, aapl), on the rare occasion their IV spikes up.  otherwise 1 short call contract for anything you hold underlying of, at a strike price where you dont really want the underlying called away, doesnt really net very much in premium

    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.
     


     

     

  7. 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.

    I haven’t used it, but the glaring con is that I don’t think they allow withdrawals yet.

    So reading their FAQ you can’t transfer the coins and you don’t get a key. However it can be swapped for cash immediately in PayPal. They have an exchange fee which I don’t know what it is. But it seems awfully easy and convenient way to hold and quickly spend crypto if you want. 

  9. Why all the reluctance on this massive hype IPO for a fast growing biz in the hottest market available today, yet less concern on this thread for bankrupt penny stocks?  I don’t see losing 95% of value on SNOW as equal probability as some of others...
