You should start to price in your early jump on things before you close
 
LCID seems to finally be bouncing again. Had added some leaps last week.
 
Exited my puts...

Grabbed an nvda call trying to catch a bounce
 
Bought RKLB & ASTR shares yesterday, swung for a quick 7% profits.

Might as well be a dirty bottom feeder in this market with a tight stop loss. Stocks are still stinking the joint out tbh.
 
Was scanning used car stocks. Oh man, this is quite easily one of the most beat down sectors in the market currently. VROOM chart is astonishing, 6 months -70%. This company was trading at $40 months ago. August it as high as $65. Worse chart I've seen since ROOT. Every one of them looks like they went the full twelve rounds with Tyson. I get inflation and all, but the valuations for some of these companies seem very undervalued bar CVNA now. Either wallstreet has picked CVNA as the winner or I just dunno, its bizarre tbh.
 
Then....
  • Aerojet Rocketdyne (NYSE:AJRD) rose 1% after an earlier report hat that the Pentagon supports the company's planned sale to Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT).
  • The Pentagon in October recommended to the Federal Trade Commission that the defense department supports the combination, according to a CTFN report earlier.
  • Bloomberg reported in late October that Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks reportedly sent a letter with the Pentagon's view on Aerojet/Lockheed deal. The news service didn't say at the time how the DOD viewed the deal.
  • Earlier this month, Lockheed Martin's CEO reiterated he sees a 1Q close for Aerojet Rocketdyne deal.
Seems very likely to me the deal is going to go through and AJRD is still only at $43.75. Deal was for $51. That's a nice 16.5% gain in the next 3 months or so.
 
slow day. Roku puts for 20% and making a momo play on bfri
 
Market go moon but I ain't trusting shit. Could be a complete fake out.
 
Inflation is getting red hot, tapering doubles, interest rates to stay the same. Looks like the little man will suffer. Interest rates need to go up, period. Stop the charade and raise rates now IMO.. To me seems a like a recipe for inflation skyrocketing.
 
got absolutely mauled today by sheer horrible luck re: timing

uwmc shorted or whatever the fuck that was
solar tits up on ca's stupid proposal (that's unlikely to happen because it's just so stupid)
biden/smic raping my semi play
fed fears

and then the fed statement happened and i rubberbanded like a bot in a racing game going from last to first. i guess i had some blue turtle shells somewhere.

What the fuck was with that sell off in UWMC. It's been doing so well as of late in this choppy market.

My PLUG short was mooning, then got murdered lol. My uranium plays went parabolic, UEC, DNN. So up nicely overall.

Sitting with a ton of cash and have no idea if I should start buying at this point. Mainly mid and small caps, they are way overdue a run and have been beaten to a pulp but I cant stomach this kangaroo market.

fuck if i know. there's a fuckton of tin foil about it* (rh increased the margin requirements for it on monday morning/this morning [twice] ) - both times BEFORE a drop happened. so it's either people being margin called and dumping or shorts (short interest did get kinda high and there were apparently not that many shares to borrow [compared to prior days/weeks] ). but i also know a few morons were trying to pump it as a squeeze play (fuck, i wish people would just knock this p&d shit off, already), which could have predictably backfired... but probably not like this.

there was a new analyst rating for it that went live today at $6.50 also, but i don't think that was really a major catalyst.

but yeah, it had been doing well (cut a .10 dividend and a couple weeks of .05+ in easy premiums) and then it got hacked. twice.


*

but yeah, since everything this year has to be some sort of role playing game, supposedly the simultaneous offering/buyback thingy that the evil hedgies manipulated to get a better price and was then canceled in the fuck you/accelerated buyback pissed off the evil hedgies so this was some sort of revenge/attempt to force his hand and robinhood was in on it and colluding with citadel to punish ishbia so they can buy in at $5 or something.

at least, that's what a lot of morons are parroting.

I crushed it today but left so much on table. Sold nvda call early for +300 profit. Would have been 1300 by eod. My smalls finally took off. Kinda thinking another headfake....shorted apple and qqq at close
 
Really starting to get a knack for flipping options intraday for small profits. That and shorting. As long as I don't get greedy it seems pretty reliable to $
Got extremely lucky on my adbe short...didn't know they were reporting.


Whats everyone's moves for today?
 
Had an alert to short Tesla at 990+...I blinked and fkn missed it.
