That’s the nice thing about options you can make a small bet and if you get it right reap a big gain.
I’m still happy to have taken some off the table. This position got way oversized in my portfolio and that’s not really a good situation. I had a couple more like that and now I’m balanced again with a nice cash position.
Check it out. This is one of my game changing investments. I flipped some over time but let this run. Still in it.

Been in square from $17 believe it or not. I actually posted my entry on the board.
Correct, it’s not traded. What it is is competition that could take traffic from snap and cause worse earnings. It could be the reason for the slight miss this time.
Ok swapped out of the imaginary calls and got some puts now. Sweet.
I think I’ll imagine I bought some calls. Weee
New virus cases in China fall again. Looks like they’re getting a handle on it. Of course China lies about everything so who knows. I mean you can tell when they’re lying, their lips are moving.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the Chinese, just not the Chinese government.

“sell on the announcement.. “
That would be the correct strategy. If they get a favorable judgement the stock will pop nicely. In my experience any parabolic move will retrace at least 50% of the move. Good luck.
We’ll see what happens. I am a bit concerned about that article pertaining to traffic moving to Tik-tok. I’ve been talking to some folks that use both services, I don’t use either, they say they’re for kind of different things but everyone I talked to said they’ve been spending more time on tik-tok.
Ended up down a tiny bit, .6% I think. Yeah, the imagination is a wonderful thing. Still sitting on large cash pile.
Should be interesting. Watching the virus news.
Yikes! Another 5%+ haircut while the CEO and only employee of this “company” laughs all the way to the bank.
LOL. Congrats.
Yeah but dilution is no problem because the ceo isn’t effected by it. He has some kind of no dilution deal where he just gets more stock free. Pretty sweet huh. Actually it is kind of funny because the stock is worthless anyway.
Got us an apple strudel with a diagonal caramel spread put in my mouth. Yummm
Yeah. Not getting any love here.
Amazing AAPL strength showing.
Hi DB. Can you elaborate a bit for us? That’s a pretty sophisticated technique, where would the sweet spot be? What would be the ideal stock movement?

Ok. Calm down people. Let’s not all post at once.
Looking good. Stock and calls rocking.
Out of the puts. No loss!
What about the ptab situation? I think you’re underestimating that.
Yeah. Now there’s that analysts take on top of the news ticker about how Apple is under valued because it’s not a tech company, it’s a luxury consumer goods company. Good point. Right now I have on my person a $1200 phone, a $700 watch (I have to have the sapphire crystal), and $250 AirPod pro’s. The $1000 handgun to make sure I keep it is another company.
Maybe I better cut the puts again. Leaving the cash in the cash pile though because it “right sizes” the position from the huge gains.
I think they will feel the virus effects but not until Q2.
Will there ever be the iGun in various calibers? Probably not, guns frighten Californians sending them scurrying to their safe space. Better keep the colt.
So I’m good at this point. Locked in about $27,000 in gains and lost $500 on puts.
Edit: oh and I forgot all the call gains but you get the picture.
It could yes.
It is what it is. Yes, Sad and fun.
Crew on the virus infected cruise ship pleading for help as infections double. “Soon we will he infected”.
Well that’s an eff’d up situation. Sentiment alone could drive this stock higher.
Good luck to everyone. I’m staying on the sidelines.
You’re discounting the proven fact that this company has no problem releasing complete bullshit to pump the stock. That’s why it is where it is so who knows. Remember how much stock was sold on the old we can cure any and all viruses in two weeks crap. That was over a decade ago and we’re not even up to one yet.
Still working on cold sores when aids was supposed to be solved ten years ago. They can’t scale up production so the rest is meaningless. And we still have no proof it even works. Just that it’s not toxic. It and distilled water.
Its still early and my newly increased cash position gives me a warm fuzzy feeling. I’ve trimmed some other positions as well to lock in long term profits. Heck, I’ve even started some new ones.
I think it’s a common mistake to not sell something when up huge. Positions get out of proportion and that’s a recipe for disaster.
But that’s just me. Sometimes I’m a dumbass.
Good luck with it. I made bank and know the history so I’m happy to watch.
EDIT: Everyone should go back one year and read a few posts. Then two years, then three and four and five and six. You get the picture. You won’t really need to read many posts at each year to get the picture.
Go back about ten of fifteen years like that and you’ll understand my skepticism.
Yeah wow, the Barney show. I have an image in my head of Don Knotts interviewing the doc.
“GOTTA NIP IT!”
If you’re not older than dirt you may not get it.
Yes, this will effect everything. Something I read says it all, “you can’t make an automobile with 99 percent of the parts”. China makes a lot of auto parts. Chrysler and Hyundai are already idling plants. Almost everything in your house is either made in China or has components made in China. This is the stuff recessions are made of. I can’t say we’ll have a recession but this is a catalyst that could trigger one.
At the very least this could lead to quite a few earnings misses down the road.
But there’s another saying, “The market is always right, just not always right now”.
So who knows.
Place your bets....
Shameless Diwan pump. No joy.
Added a few puts. China is closed right now. Small bet. Favorable risk reward. April 295’s.
Good. Could fall right through it.
184 posts in about 19 years. I don’t know if I can take the excitement.
Starter! Getting defensive. Nice dividend.
Reduced exposure. Building cash.
That is one ugly chart.
The market sure is acting like it. I think I’ll take something off the table. I’m in from under $200, I think half is a good idea.
Yep, it’s going to effect the auto industry now. This could snowball through everything like the ‘08’ credit crisis crash. Just going to ride it out. Maybe deploy some of my cash position into all my big board stocks near whatever looks like the bottom.
