### Comment: I'm so proud of myself, total trading newbie and the second I got options on RH I buy an $MU 57.5 8/3 call because memes. How much do I have to lose to become a mod? ### REPLY: your dignity ### END.
### Comment: Ok, but why would there be a spike? My TA isn't strong. Is there an external catalyst? ### REPLY: No just general trend starts high before call at its peak even with ER it was going to drop. Im just mad i sold my put at .44 to breakeven thinking it wouldnt go much below the half dollar mark. Now im playing long puts and 17 calls for tomorrow/ coverage ### END.
### Comment: Aug expiry, sell 1837.50 call, buy 1842.50 call, sell 1837.50 put, buy 1832.50 put...the probability of this trade being profitable is about like gambling on the roulette wheel...BUT, with such a small loss and large potential gain, why not?!? 😅 ### REPLY: Why these strike prices? ### END.
### Comment: But does the adblock block Google ads? Or does it merely block competitor's ads? ### REPLY: Ublock (most others too) and basically every single adblocker for Iphones (all the popular ones anyway) block google ads. ### END.
### Comment: King CORN ### REPLY: I'm long [corn futures](https://i.imgur.com/DGvm9UL.jpg). ### END.
### Comment: Gotcha, thanks for the feedback. I figured it was something that is done, just couldn't figure out what the strategy was called. ### REPLY: look up back-spreads you might like those ### END.
### Comment: tell me more secrets ### REPLY: Let AVGO drop for today and tomorrow and if you’re holding double down when it hits 214 tomorrow afternoon. ### END.
### Comment: Yes they are burning tax money on a problem they made up themselves rather than fucking solving the problem. With welfare one can at least pretend to be shooting for long-term returns on investment through more educated and healthier workers. Here they are just giving away money to actual peasants. ### REPLY: Best part is that this is 100% trump made. If he shut up and drop the tariffs, they wouldn’t need this shit. ### END.
### Comment: Fuck it dude, I'm getting paypal at close today ### REPLY: paypal is after close tomorrow ### END.
### Comment: You caught me. ### REPLY: Off with his head! ### END.
### Comment: Oh where did we borrow that $12b from I wonder? ### REPLY: My MU calls ### END.
### Comment: Realized vol is often less than implied vol, so selling strangles can be a good way to cash in on higher IV. It's not too crazy; if you've read any of the professional trader ama's here or in r/options, they commonly talk about strangles, and other nondirectional plays as serious components of their playbooks. ### REPLY: i don’t doubt it. just saying for the average joe having both a naked call and a put is riskier than most can handle. ### END.
### Comment: tbh that's even more shameful ### REPLY: It just keeps getting worse ### END.
### Comment: Maybe. But I’m ok with missing out on some upside potential to lock in a nice gain. ### REPLY: Valid points, sometimes, I wish I had your self control and could just live with just locking in profits.. ### END.
### Comment: Damn! that was lucky ### REPLY: So go long on Pizza Hut..? ### END.
### Comment: ...with no catalyst ### REPLY: No catalyst for it moving up initially. It doesn't need a catalyst to move anyway. ### END.
### Comment: you might actually gain more value by buying and using their product than buying shares ### REPLY: Bought their product. Not so sure about that. ### END.
### Comment: It trades lower than Macy's and other literally dieing retail stores. Idgi ### REPLY: find you a 60+ year old investor with over 10M that knows what the fuck computer memory is (and I mean RAM, not fucking storage) and when you can't you'll find out why Macy's isn't in freefall ### END.
### Comment: Most of WSB can't afford to buy 100 shares of anything worth trading options in, either. ### REPLY: MU has been decent with its volatility. Not rich enough to sell covered calls on anything more expensive... ### END.
### Comment: Lol im actually in my 3rd year for an information science degree ### REPLY: Future lazy DB admin detected. ### END.
### Comment: I think the dividend is safe for now. Despite where the stock is trading they are still generated more revenue than amazon and the acquisition should only help. They won't cut the dividend unless they completely change their business and i don't see that happening. ### REPLY: $180 billion in debt though. ### END.
### Comment: Haha it’s not insider info just some shit I researched to help convince me this is not a dumbest play. ### REPLY: Well good luck, I bailed on my calls so if it moons tonight I'm gonna hunt you down and murder you. ### END.
### Comment: MU 90 7/20 looking good ### REPLY: Didn't go down today at least ### END.
### Comment: buy me some then daddy ### REPLY: wmt sells that $3 wine. when they released it they quoted 'it's not so much about the taste for the customers buying it' ### END.
### Comment: My portfolio looks like it's going up in a mirror. ### REPLY: dope, never thought of it that way ### END.
### Comment: Buddy, if there was actual bad news ,this would be way more down then a measly 3%. This thing is overvalued by a mile. Future is definitely bright for SQ...but it's priced for perfection right now. Bad news would send this tumbling over 10%, easily. This drop is nothing. It has one of these a couple times a month ... ### REPLY: I get you. Just the dynamics of the chart over time and severity of fluctuations get me sometimes. I guess not finding news was news to me. Dumb luck i sold my shares. I did buy a couple put spreads today hopefully that's just the lil blip of opp I got right ### END.
### Comment: dis ### REPLY: no, this is facebook, not disney ### END.
### Comment: > You ever date? I've heard of calendars ### REPLY: I think he's referring to the flowering species in the palm family of plants that probably originated from the Fertile Crescent region straddling between Egypt and Mesopotamia ### END.
### Comment: I've got some low bids pending right now. We'll see if they go through. ### REPLY: They went through and I was +25% by the end of the day. ### END.
### Comment: Wish I could afford Tesla options. ### REPLY: they are very expensive but to compensate i decided i won't be greedy. if it goes to 308 i will sell. for any normal cheaper option i usually ride it much longer. ### END.
### Comment: just took a look. so what happens to holders who keep .50 calls thru split? I can see some who bough Jan 2020s wanting to hold.. ### REPLY: Any options contract bought before the split are automatically adjusted. Normally your option is for 100 shares, say you have a call with a strike price of $5, if the stock undergoes a reverse split 1:5 then it would be adjusted to have a strike of $25 but only controls 20 shares as opposed to the normal 100. Normal foward splits do the same thing in reverse, the strike price is decreased but the shares controlled is increased. ### END.
### Comment: Most autistic play since MU 90 7/20s, but if you somehow profit you should get automodded and be able to post the same faggy thing in every post like the current automod. ### REPLY: MU 90!?!? Be reasonable. I PUT MU 40. EASY money. ### END.
### Comment: Buy high sell low. Good shit fam ### REPLY: Honestly it wasn’t that bad. If he held till now, he be at a 99.9% loss ### END.
### Comment: Fucking rookie OP. I could have lost this way quicker ### REPLY: $MU 7/27 $90 calls ### END.
### Comment: That is nice, my average is 2.75 on those, came down from a lot more than that after starting to buy them last week. the 8/10s 142 are $2 ### REPLY: Gonna be honest, I picked it up after I saw your comment and was like 'wait, yea lets look at the price of those'. It just so happened to be visa's dip to 139.5x So thanks for posting, hopefully, it brings me tendies ---or else I get to blame you :D ### END.
### Comment: except i would be amazed if it only dips 0.1% each time. it fcking drops whole %s everytime u fag ### REPLY: 1.5-2% every day. I hate this shitty stock. ### END.
### Comment: Ur mom is a whale ### REPLY: i'm in whale school. ### END.
### Comment: Holy shit ### REPLY: 2meirl ### END.
### Comment: Why would it drop more than 10%? ### REPLY: Clearly he thinks Zuck is gonna go to back to Congress ### END.
### Comment: Same here - own about 5k now. Hope that should be worth a couple bucks soon. ### REPLY: Couple bucks? Maybe after reverse split ### END.
### Comment: A group of like-minded intellectuals I see. ### REPLY: This is why I buy penny stocks in bulk. I don't want hackers stealing my rounded pennies. ### END.
### Comment: Not in the slightest dip shit ### REPLY: Ok it's the financial 4chan right? Who cares about my an analogy, dick-tonsils? ### END.
### Comment: Anything from nasdaq ### REPLY: Google FB and AMZN are on Nasdaq ### END.
### Comment: We literally do not produce enough calories to feed the nation without corn. King corn subsidies royally fucked up the structure of North American food production, and now we have extreme reliance on it. Eventually the megacorps won't able to suppress the news about how terrible corn syrup and its byproducts are for use, and then the food supply will be fucked. ### REPLY: Hey, don't you see that we need to trows billions of dollars to subsidize a few bunch of white farmers? Because fuck stimulating anyone else but a bunch of white old dudes that already get paid to not farm. This fucking shit is going to give me an embolism ### END.
### Comment: WTPOUAOYUATTTO (What's the point of using acronyms only you understand and then typing them out?) ### REPLY: LOL (little old Latinos) ### END.
### Comment: i can tell you dont fuck ### REPLY: I fucked these [SPY puts](https://imgur.com/a/SgLyaw6) up pretty well ### END.
### Comment: AMD and TWTR and a few chinese stocks have a greater growth rate and can make some ppl who wait( 10 years not like a year or something) millionaires. ### REPLY: >AMD and TWTR and a few chinese stocks have a greater growth rate and can make some ppl who wait( 10 years not like a year or something) millionaires. Which chinese stocks? And why AMD? ### END.
### Comment: http://secfilings.nasdaq.com/filingFrameset.asp?FilingID=12871842&RcvdDate=7/24/2018&CoName=MICRON%20TECHNOLOGY%20INC&FormType=4&View=html ### REPLY: thanks. those transactions are listed as automatic sales if it matters https://www.nasdaq.com/quotes/insiders/switz-robert-e-415523 ### END.
### Comment: Can you name some? ### REPLY: /r/wallstreetbets ### END.
### Comment: Does having ITM calls rely largely on chance? I buy an option 6 months out before earnings expecting the price to rise in that time, how do I consider my strike price? ### REPLY: Earnings are every 3 months. I mean an OTM option that goes ITM will make you more than an already ITM option going deeper ITM. ### END.
### Comment: You sound like someone I could have a beer with ### REPLY: He sounds like someone I would need to have a beer to be with ### END.
### Comment: Highest % increase ### REPLY: All in August 60Cs got it. Wait is this shit really 50% shorted? ### END.
### Comment: Shut your whore mouth. I've been watching this play for like two weeks. If you let let everyone here know, it's bound to go against me. ### REPLY: 😅 ### END.
### Comment: Pretty much and MU says they never had a chance to defend themselves in court. The provincial government who happens to own a stake in UMC just granted in their favor ### REPLY: The court owns stake in Jinhua, which worked with UMC to steal Micron's tech. Not that it makes any difference to my Calls.. :/ ### END.
### Comment: Positions: https://imgur.com/a/wETk4yC ### REPLY: What kind of strategy is this? I see you are buying and selling the same calls at different prices. What is your goal and what is the benefit? ### END.
### Comment: They're boomers, they can't help themselves. Don't think this is anything other than that. ### REPLY: It's all about timing. If they all loaded up on GE in the last six months, that's News(tm). If GE is just part of their slow-to-lockin-losses index funds, that quite another thing. What we really need is SEC reports for our congress critters' significant changes in ownership. It would go a long way towards democratizing the insider trading they are (legally) able to commit. ### END.
### Comment: I too owned $70 7/20 MU calls. ### REPLY: If you still have your phone to make that commebt then clearly you didn't buy enough of them $70 7/20 MU calls. Pawn store owners gotta MU calls too. ### END.
### Comment: rectum, damn near kilt em ### REPLY: Savage ### END.
### Comment: I wish this were true ### REPLY: It'll make $58. That's all I need. ### END.
### Comment: I bought calls on TER instead right before close. I'm going to go cry. ### REPLY: Well played. ### END.
### Comment: It hurt you, because you know it to be true. I'm sorry ### REPLY: I only read the first sentence, don't take yourselves too seriously now, ya hear jass? ### END.
### Comment: time to buy? fuck, id pull the trigger if the deranged cheeto wasn't president ### REPLY: I'm holding, at least. Fuck it at this point. I was able to completely eliminate my risk on one of my positions, so I'm just playing with profits with those 15 contracts expiring this week. I have some calls for next week that I'll probably sell calls against later this week, and again next. Not planning on selling, though. My LEAPS are hurting, and my Oct calls are probably fucked. ### END.
### Comment: sounds like puts are free money. go get'em tiger ### REPLY: The rational part of my brain, what brought me to invest in MU in the first place, says “no way this is a profitable company with crazy low PE, puts are like buying poop”. I should kill the rational part of my brain. Fair chance MU breaks below $52 tomorrow, who knows beyond that. ### END.
### Comment: i ballpark it ### REPLY: bruh ### END.
### Comment: Seriously I don't know how people do it. I mean it's like... stupid easy for me to lose 5-10%. Occasionally I'll make 10-15% but rarely. Everything just loses a chunk of value as soon as I buy it then slowly bleeds out. T calls, MO calls, MU calls, MU puts, everything except FB and MSFT have lost me money and my FB FDs are down 6% so that may just be MSFT by the end of the week. ### REPLY: If you have an eye for the slow bleeders, maybe start selling options (calls in this case)? ### END.
### Comment: There is no 'why' MU goes down. It's just what it does. ### REPLY: C Y C L I C A L ### END.
### Comment: This is Trump's world. We're all just living in it. ### REPLY: 6 more years of hearing reddit whine constantly and cite incorrect statistics about Trump's popularity. This won't get old at all. ### END.
### Comment: I have an interview with facebook, I'll ask the recruiter to ask Mark for me. ### REPLY: You mean Mr. Facebook? ### END.
### Comment: yeah definitely, markets turning red as we speak lol ### REPLY: I was out today, but you sure called that shit, my dude. Cheers. ### END.
### Comment: 1.5-2% every day. I hate this shitty stock. ### REPLY: It's a love/ hate relationship for me. It's gonna bounce back. I still have hope for my August 17 60 calls ### END.
### Comment: Bought their product. Not so sure about that. ### REPLY: Idk what you're talking about I've gotten more than my money's worth ### END.
### Comment: MU has been decent with its volatility. Not rich enough to sell covered calls on anything more expensive... ### REPLY: Sell cash secured Puts for MU ### END.
### Comment: Nah, stock is going to drop. ### REPLY: You seem pretty convinced. The lack of JBLU fuel hedging hurting their earnings have you spooked that’s happening to SWA? Or are you actually a pilot for Southwest and you have information the general public doesn’t? Because all the load Info for June has already been made available and there’s nothing you should know that the general public doesn’t. Unless there’s something? ### END.
### Comment: Too bad those calls expired 38 years ago ### REPLY: It's not a loss if you don't sell ### END.
### Comment: Correcting people's lies isn't getting worked up, I just enjoy doing it from time to time to own the libs. ### REPLY: >own the libs Lmao what a pussy ### END.
### Comment: You and me both. Needs more potions tho ### REPLY: Quick someone do the water spigot ### END.
### Comment: Whats thirty times 100 million dumbass? ### REPLY: About three fiddy ### END.
### Comment: Honestly it wasn’t that bad. If he held till now, he be at a 99.9% loss ### REPLY: That's one way to stick it to the IRS ### END.
### Comment: I'm all in one atm ### REPLY: The size of your balls man damn ### END.
### Comment: All in August 60Cs got it. Wait is this shit really 50% shorted? ### REPLY: Fear of FB launching a competitor, which Zuck said they were working on. Some think they'll discuss it in cc. ### END.
### Comment: The equivalent of shorting Twitch, which is the equivalent of shorting AMZN no thanks ### REPLY: Twitch is to YouTube what SNAP is to FB. Tl;dr: YouTube > yur Mamma's saggy yams > hot dog shit > Twitch. ### END.
### Comment: Talk about my 🅱ost history one more time ### REPLY: YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE. ### END.
### Comment: Not so. Model 3 performance will have more demand the. Model S. It's that good, peeps just don't realize it. ### REPLY: OK, still they don't sell that huge amount of model S. ### END.
### Comment: Thank god because my September calls are getting hammered. I just want to break even and never see a $MU call again ### REPLY: You'll be back ### END.
### Comment: No idea haha, she's just a friend's sister. ### REPLY: Nice. ### END.
### Comment: The guy sold 40k shares and still owns 127k shares, so he sold 24% of his stake, not 2/3. Total sold value was $2.2 million; it's possible he is buying a house or wants to diversify. Not really that shocking. ### REPLY: Steven Thorsen (SVP Worldwide Sales) sold 40k shares (24%), yes. But I was talking about the chairman, Robert Switz, who sold 100k shares of his 145k total. ### END.
### Comment: I believe this company will be around in 30 years and will pay consistent dividends ### REPLY: You'll be dead before you get those gainz live a little bro :) ### END.
### Comment: So true. I could not believe the new Navy Seal copy pasta was a real tweet... ### REPLY: Reference? ### END.
### Comment: Time to buy? ### REPLY: Time to cry? ### END.
### Comment: >AMD and TWTR and a few chinese stocks have a greater growth rate and can make some ppl who wait( 10 years not like a year or something) millionaires. Which chinese stocks? And why AMD? ### REPLY: Alibaba most likely, Tencent as well ### END.
### Comment: wmt sells that $3 wine. when they released it they quoted 'it's not so much about the taste for the customers buying it' ### REPLY: The Trader Joe’s version is pretty good ### END.
### Comment: I don't know what you guys are talking about... I bought TLRY at 21 dollars knowing it was all on hype alone. I sold those suckers at 31 dollars. I made like 17% profit yo. ### REPLY: You're full of shit or shit at maths. ### END.
### Comment: I mean the same is happening to the industry we work in, I don’t see how it could possibly be a shocker. We’re in the same business as ADT and somebody check their earnings if you want a good laugh ### REPLY: Isnt like the only security industry thats decent still industrial and shit? Johnson controls etc posted growth. Seems like its just home security no one is fucking with. ### END.
### Comment: I'm guessing nobody here got a fill. ### REPLY: options arent showing for me in TD, just 'nonstandard strike dates' with 0 bids/asks on every strike and date. :( ### END.
### Comment: How do we spin losing into a win? Only way he'll back down. ### REPLY: Don't believe what you see, hear or read. /s ### END.

### Comment: The question is where is the big money going. Financials? ### REPLY: lobbying hopefully ### END.
### Comment: Hey skrillabobcat you marked this submission as a YOLO. If this isn't an entertaining and/or risky trade with a reasonable amount of money then perhaps you should re-flair this before you get banned. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) if you have any questions or concerns.* ### REPLY: This is entertaining ### END.
### Comment: There's no way AMD will trend sideways, right? ### REPLY: 8/17 long straddle volatility implies a 17% move. ### END.
### Comment: Thats what I've started doing aside from some AVGO calls. This has spooked me quite a bit. ### REPLY: AVGO is keeping my portfolio afloat. I feel like it's time to sell, but they haven't even closed half the gap from the acquisition... ### END.
