I did a quick calculation using what he might have picked:
Sell 1 FB 207.5 Put 7/27
Sell 1 FB 227.5 Call 7/27
Buy 2 FB 217.5 Put 8/10
Buy 2 FB 217.5 Call 8/10
Total profit was 5053 on a 2268 investment
Not bad, but of course the profit has nothing to do with reduced IV lol
### REPLY:
I really wanted him to explain it better, or Link a source, but he wouldn’t and it’s gone now.
Hell one website actually said this type of strategy works better when you expect IV to rise on the later options, which as they’re long that makes sense as they get more valuable, so I dunno.

How new are the F-250's? The 2015+ have been significantly improved.
As far as the Tacoma... that isn't a 'real' work truck. You can't tow with it or load it up like an F-250. Still great trucks but they are super outdated.
### REPLY:
Thank you for proving the point. My Tacoma generates more income for me than both my F-250's combined. I have started to hire out all my towing and mostly I have parked the Fords because of cost of maintenance and fuel.

You did this play on RH? What collateral for the options you sold? The long strangles or cash & TWTR stocks?
### REPLY:
I had to pay $730 per. No extra collateral needed. If you hold down on the option chain it allows you to purchase or sell more than 1 option at a time.

A lot of that is because of ideological dumbass and money backed lobbying. A march on penn avenue ain't going to do shit. I'll stay pissed about people dying because of artificial medicine shortages. You have a good time with your subsidized phone.
### REPLY:
I'm not taking about marching. Marching ain't gonna do shit, you're exactly right.
Until voters have a mass organized recall across the board, nothing meaningful will ever get done. But like I said, people are too fucking lazy to do that.

### Comment:
I felt the same way. People using FB less and less and it already had a good run up, even If they had beat earnings for me it was hard to see FB going up another 15-20% given the run up it's been having over the past few months so the risk was def worth it. I just didn't have the money to risk but I figured someone from this forum would be smart enough to YOLO it (if real). BTW Yung I need a loan lol
### REPLY:
I put $150 into an FB strangle and made $1500. You did not need much money to earn this quarter. FB's stagnation is pretty obvious IMO and Mark himself has been mentioning rising costs for the past 6 months but no one seemed to listen to him.
That might work well for hypergrowth companies, but FB is past its hypergrowth phase and is incredibly slow at monetization.
### END. |
### Comment:
I mean yes in terms of total dollars, it is a large trade to an average person, but in reference to a hedge fund trying to filter out dumb money as WetCat stated, all over $450K in ganiz on options play doesn't make sense.

Tendies are cheap! Absolutely. If your expenses are 2k a month (reasonable in many parts of the country), you could live for about 15 years.

Not true if this reporting is correct---- $1.5m was friends and family. He lost $4m. So $2.5m of his own money.

Corning traded at over $100 summer of 2000. This company has been around forever and isn't going anywhere soon. Love the Corning Museum of Glass they funded as well (I used to blow glass). Seeing an old glass company innovating and adapting to knew tech while preserving it's artistic/historical side gives me good feelings deep in my scrotum. They teach all kinds of great glass blowing classes and make our cell screens... Pretty fuckin cool.

I don’t trade options on it. I have 60 shares in Roth and don’t plan to sell. You have to take Buffett’s mindset here- you don’t own a business and check its worth each day. You own it and check it’s value next year or in two years.
I believe Applied Materials is a company that I want to own in 5 years. All semiconductor companies have been reporting record numbers and they need applied to produce their chips

I would like to hear how this works as well. From my research, it is my understanding that the smaller the put the easier it is to profit...but that doesn't make sense because a smaller put would be a smaller investment?

Could completely forget about saving for retirement and in 10-20 years have a fat retirement balance.
### REPLY:
Yeah it makes sense to keep earning at this stage, at least for a decade. Pump that money into a high return ETF, weather the next crash which is inevitably coming soon, and then retire on the next peak. If he keeps earning and saving he could easily have a **safe** $1.5 to $2 million in a decade.
