Are you guys going to get nailed with the rain from Florence as it loops back around? It clipped us here in Ohio...I think it may have sprinkled for an hour or two. LOL
It looks like you should be safe from anything major until at least this weekend...hopefully so anyway cuz this thing is gonna be historical. Latest models have it making landfall in the Carolinas (southeast NC most likely) and then slowing down and completely stalling out there once it makes landfall, dumping up to 20" of rain inland. The really historical aspect looks to be the flooding. Very similar setup as Harvey in Texas last year.
Not sure where it'll go once it finally starts to move out...I'm hoping it stays east of us, but it could track up through the Ohio valley or head up the east coast and hit you. That looks to be more into next week.
How do you prepare for hurricanes there? Just stock up on food & water and pray?
So I apparently bought my long shot puts on TSLA two weeks too early.
He also must have been reading our posts about MJ last week. hahaha
...that makes two of us. LOL
I started drinking at 20 and smoked weed around 25ish...I was never much of a ladies' man, but of all the girls I've dated I slept with only half of them and had more one night stands than girlfriends. Never smoked a cigarette in my life and never tried anything more than weed and unintentional huffing (painting in areas without proper ventilation).
Only thing that keeps me from regular marijuana use is I like guns and have my conceal carry permit...if I got caught using mj, even medical mj, I could lose the right to own/carry guns. For now, guns are more important.
Nowadays, I've calmed down...I drink very rarely and when I do, it's only a drink/shot or three. When I used to drink regularly, I would always wake up with stories I shouldn't have been proud of.......
Don't use any other drugs and my fiancee would kill me if I was dating anyone else so I guess my rules are very similar to my teenage years, I just had to try everything first. LOL
hahahaha nope, no video footage unfortunately!
I always said if I were to ever get high on drugs, I would want to watch Pink Floyd The Wall...it's totally made for it! So when I got really high, I stuck to what I said! lol
Lots of folks are peddling the CBD oil...which I believe is derived from hemp. Marijuana has two major components in it. CBD and THC...both have therapeutic properties. IMO, the THC is the most therapeutic, but it's also the component in mj that makes you high and will fail you on a drug test. CBD is perfectly legal, but I think it's effects are much less noticeable and anyone who thinks it helps "tremendously" are more just victims of the placebo effect.
hahahahaha
I was Straight Edge as a teenager (no drinking, no drugs, no casual sex for life)...then I started drinking a little after my little brother pressured me into it at a party. Then a girl I was messing around with informed me on Christmas Eve that her "ex" proposed and she said yes...I sat down in the car with my brother who was smoking a joint and told him to quit hogging it. He's like, "Are you for real????"
So I smoked with him that night...didn't notice much. Coughed a lot and time felt really slow. Might have been a tad giggly but nothing out of the ordinary.
So my bday rolled around and my cousin who's a HUGE pothead sent me a care package from the dispensary she worked at in California...3 brownies and a note which read, "Josh...only eat half a brownie. If you don't notice anything, wait 24 hours and try a whole brownie. DO NOT EAT MORE THAN HALF A BROWNIE FIRST."
So I was having a rough night and decided to go to the bar and eat half a brownie...about 4 hours later after I had gone home, it hit me. I stumbled around the house and my roommate said I came in to the living room telling him I couldn't find my bedroom. Then I grabbed Pink Floyd The Wall (DVD) and went to watch it in my bedroom. I started having seizures and freaking out about halfway in...or so I thought...I realized I wasn't actually having seizures because I started laughing hysterically at the thought of having seizures.
I was trying to watch my eyelids whenever I blinked. The more I tried to watch, the faster I blinked......
I was stoned for 2 days.
I ended up giving the other two brownies to my favorite bartender and my brother...both were big potheads and both said they'd never been so stoned in their life. They also only had half a brownie each and shared with their significant others. haha
Good stuff...
Every time I buy calls and puts both, the stupid thing ends up trading sideways all week and I lose twice. lol
I've been thinking about jumping back into pennies again...just hard to sit on that money waiting when you pick a shitty entry point or worse yet, FOMO gets you and you end up holding the bag.
No, no, no... I'm still in VXX. Trump needs to go on a Twitter rant about more tariffs. :-p
Well I just goofed well... decided to play VXX. Punched it in to Stockcharts and it was pinched super tight.
Bought some $31.50 calls...
Then realized that Stockcharts was displaying the chart for the DJIA.
VXX is not pinching.
Fack.
I just sold for a loss too... noticed all the stocks on Robinhood's default watch list all were tanking. I'm down a couple bucks under my initial $100 investment but I think even riding this out trying to break even is risky.
Gonna sit on my hands til a good trade pops up.
That was the same issue I had...wanted to flip and move on. No luck.
I've still got 291's for Friday @ $.51.
I'm up a penny...lol
As soon as I post, the price falls out the bottom. UGH
Could be worse though...
I've got a couple $291 SPY calls still...it's been fighting to break out all day with no luck. Hoping to see it take off before close but not so sure I'll get that lucky.
lol I'm good at that!
Looks like NFLX never quite hit the $360 mark but it sure got close...closed near HOD too. Good luck on it next week if you're still in!
I agree...my entry points suck. I sit there going, 'DAMMIT! I need money to average down!' lol
I'm hoping to jump into one of Sam's monsters that he's buying for pennies and selling for 1000-2000% gains. It'll give me a little more to work with so if I make a bad trade, I at least don't have to start clear over again. Gah. So much work...and I'm trying to get out of that...hahahaha
I hate buying them a week out and holding on...every time I've tried it, the time decay just murders me and sometimes they do really good only for me to break even or even end up taking a small loss.
That's the worst part about starting out with a small amount of money...no extra powder to average down as necessary. lol
$358.14
I wonder if the $360's go ITM before market close...dang...helluva day for NFLX.
Good job on at least getting out even...I don't mind still not having the chart completely mastered. I'd settle with having things down enough that I can get out even when I goof up. lol
If today weren't expiration day, I probably would have let mine ride and just checked in on my breaks, but like you said...even the smallest pullback and the value just collapses.
All in all, not a wasted day!
...aaaaand in the words of the Japanese guy in The Fast and the Furious, "Too soon, junior!"
Gotta head to work so I sold my 360s @ .07 for a 40% gain...a whole $40. But now I got a little more to work with next week.
One of these days maybe I'll be able to write a book...
"From $100 to Millionaire" :)
It sure is trying
SAR just dropped on NFLX 2 Day 5 Min
It's getting clooooooose......
NFLX 1 Day 3 Min looking really juicy...heading in the right direction
I just bought $100 worth of NFLX $360 calls for tomorrow...if it bounces hard, maybe it'll make me enough money to trade for a while without breaking into too much of my paycheck. lol
Speak of the devil!
Sorry to hear about your mom, but great to hear she's recovering well! Sorry about your dog as well...my girl will be 10 this year...she still acts like a puppy and hurts herself at least once a month from jumping and landing wrong. Not the sharpest tool in the shed...lol. I hate to think of the day when I have to say goodbye. I found her when she was a pup.
We'll see you when things get a little easier and you have time to breathe again!
Still broke...trying to figure out if I can fund my account with this paycheck...arggghhhh.
Has anyone heard from Ivan lately?
I read every post...just not saying much :)
Been really busy the past few days so I usually swing in and catch up on about 40 posts after market close. Hopefully have some free time on the way soon. This past year has been chaotic...usually in the winter months the weather is crappy and I have so little to do I spend half my day goofing around on the computer. Totally didn't happen this past year.
hahahahaha
It's a little tedious but that may be because it's still new to me too...the biggest problem I have with it as far as using the app is my phone uses biometrics to unlock it and if I let the app go idle for more than about a minute or let my screen lock, it asks me to sign in again (via fingerprint). It's fast but annoying since I habitually lock my screen every time I'm done doing something.
Have you tried out Robinhood yet? You'll still want to use TDA for same-day expiration options trades since it will sell everything for you around an hour before expiration, but it's commission free and I just got an email that they're now allowing free pre and after-market trading.
lol...that's a helluva gamble... :-P
The big question I have is do you think he may just be pumping the stock with "forward-looking statements" solely to burn the shorts but at the end of the "day"...the company will end up in about the same position as its been?
Not that that's a bad thing for us...ride the wave in both directions. lol
I'm broke but observing...very envious but very happy for you guys! LOL
Holy crapola!
You followed your treasure map well!
You guys have been in beast mode lately!
Good job!
I really need to practice this all so I can stop giving away all my money...lol
