Buying in the money Apple puts at the $95 strike price. August 29 expiration. New iPhone already factored in.
## Speaker_0: ##
I think this is an okay position but it depends a LOT on earnings. I wouldn't dare play earnings.
Can you explain what you mean by factored in? You can't factor in unknowns. What if the iPhone 6 cures cancer? What if it uses Android? What if it's sold for $100 or 1000?
## Speaker_1: ##
All excellent observations and duly noted. I am likely wrong and this is just a bet going against popular opinion.

Sold my $75 10/19 calls today, holding everything else (yes I also own shares cause I'm a fag). Will buy more on dips/pullbacks.
Unless there is a nice pop for AAPL pre conference, I will hold my calls during conference. Have $230 10/19's.

New here ... opened a position in URBN last night at 23.38.
URBN appears to be way oversold. They've missed earnings the last 2 quarters and have taken a massive beating as a result. From its 52 week high of 40.80 its dropped to 23.81 as of writing this. PE Ratio is approx. 12.82 which I believe is well below industry avg.
The company has had flat comp sales in all three of its brands but has seen major growth in its online D2C sales. While some of this is cannibalized from B&M locations, they are uniquely positioned as retailer to leverage the new sales channels that their customer base is migrating to.
They are highly aware of the current retail environment and believe they have largely saturated the North American market for B&M locations. Future B&M growth will come from expanded international presence in Europe, Middle East and Asia.
One bright area for URBN is their non clothing product lines, having expanded very successfully into home decor. As they diversify their product portfolio beyond clothing they can recapture some of the lost margins they've experienced as a result of pricing pressure from low cost fast fashion outlets and online retailers.
Looking at their financials they have 0 debt, assets can largely be taken at face value (no goodwill), and generate a large stack of cash relative to their price.
I believe the stock is way oversold and that once they push passed the current difficult retail environment and as their international and online sales growth continue that it could easily push back into the 28+ range.
Thoughts?
## Speaker_0: ##
I still wouldn't touch a dying retail ATM. I don't see how they can over the head winds of amazon and the dying of mall. the long term outlook is bleak even Walmart looks powerless
## Speaker_1: ##
Here is my thing with Amazon, how many 24 year old girls do you know who buy clothes there? Amazon just isn't conducive to the lifestyle image that affluent millennial women want to project. Social media is a massive driver. Look at Amazon's fashion social media pages and then look at URBN. I would be hesitant to discount the relationship they've built with their consumer base.
I'm not arguing that URBN is a big growth stock, but I do believe given its annual earnings and excellent financial shape that the low price is not justified.
## Speaker_2: ##
agree that Amazon doesn't hit that market at all. however, I think that the millennial online clothing market share has been totally dominated by ASOS ($ASC) which has moved almost in the exact inverse of $URBN the past few years ... it's not as if URBN is sitting on an untapped direct to customer market, there are established players there already
## Speaker_1: ##
I agree, this isn't an untapped market. But looking at ASOS the stock is significantly more expensive than URBN. PE Ratio for ASOS is a ridiculous 200+ ... that's a number you'd expect to see in a tech firm, not an online clothing retailer.
## DegenBot: ##
oh yeah, i'm not arguing a buy case for ASOS, just saying that the presence of ASOS and similar retailers diminishes the buy case for URBN imo.

Edit Two: The stock has risen to a surreal point this morning in the pre-market hours and I have sold the calls as soon as I could at an average price of 1.897. Although these calls have appreciated so much, I am not proud of the decision that I made to buy them yesterday. I exposed myself to a very real risk that could have wiped out all of my money and heavily changed my life. Everyone who has offered me words of support throughout this time, both in the thread and in private messages, thank you. I am shaken and I am deeply grateful that this lesson was such a gentle one and that I have another chance. I will try never to put myself into this situation again.

LOL do y'all understand that this is their money making plan? To get people that can't afford it hooked on the gambling-like nature of free trading and then start offering loans via margin to amplify that sensation of risk/reward and then the market turns against you and suddenly you're in debt to Robinhood with no remaining equity? It literally explains this on their website but that's the plan - to have brought in all these customers trading low balance accounts and then oh? whats this? your friends at robinhood are happy to extend you a line of credit to help you make more money.
Robin Hood is a fictional story about someone who robs from the rich and gives to the poor. This story more closely resembles that of Shylock
## Speaker_1: ##
I wonder how the interest is charged as well.
## Speaker_0: ##
i'm sure its a very low rate, if its a high rate their type of customer would be wary, im sure the money making approach is similar to capital one, boost volume of business by being very approachable but dealing with people that will use your money making item (margin interest even if low rate) in high volume but that are also irresponsible with it so you get a decent percent of people that fuck up and you can take over their equity positions and make huge return on them

This isn't really the right sub to ask about gold but it seems to be the right place to ask retarded questions.
I'm considering buying an ounce of gold to play around with, not really for investment purposes. One of those nice fancy ones with the cool designs. I just want to have a tiny gold bar sitting on my desk that I can throw around and mess with. I'll probably be putting it in my mouth and chewing on it quite a bit while I'm sitting around doing nothing. Think of it like an expensive fidget spinner. I'll also probably be rubbing my cock and balls all over it pretty frequently.
Now my question is: will I be able to sell the gold bar if I ever want to get my money back? I plan on keeping it for at least a few years but I don't want to blow a thousand bucks on something just to put in my mouth and rub my nuts on. Not sure if I will be able to get back what I paid for it if it's covered in bite marks and ball sweat. I'm assuming that I can get market price for the actual gold but I guess the premium that I paid for the fancy design will be gone if it's all messed up. I'm also concerned about losing some of the gold by biting it/rubbing it all over my body. Is this a legitimate concern or will the loss be negligible?
I'm not trying to make any money by buying a gold bar, I just don't want to lose too much. I don't know anything about investing or gold so if this idea will cost me a few hundred dollars in depreciation then I probably won't do it.

So on a thread a while back I got to make a SS post of my impressive gains on AVXL. This was back when AVXL was in $13 land. And people jumped all over it and were like "ZOMG how can I be like you?"
So here's how you can be like me. I first SCREAMED AVXL back in July. When I went YOLO. I added even more on the dips over the next few weeks until my ave went from $3 to $4.20. I played AVXL 's swings with even more money until that $4.20 is almost all pure profit (no equity).
But the point is, those amazing gains didn't happen overnight. It took three months. If you are hopping onto a rising stock you are buying the run-up and WSB likes to buy in near the very top of that. (Seriously, how many of you waited to go in until you saw how much other people were making?)
I *LOVE* AVXL and my core is riding the stock wherever it goes. But you'll notice I haven't screamed AVXL in quite a while because it's no longer undervalued (much). My recent DD called for $8 on the eve of the conference and $12-$25 **by the end of the year** if the results were spectacular. How much is AVXL going to grow in three months from $10? Yes that's a lot of money but it's not WSB money.
So here is how you make money and post impressive screenshots on WSB. Find out when people are SCREAMING about a truly undervalued stock with some strong catalysts ahead. Do your research and DD and see if you think they're right. Put your money in low, and then just friggin wait and be patient.
People actually ride me because I talk about BGMD so much, but I do so because that is the next friggin AVXL. It's absurdly undervalued waiting for revenues from Abbott Labs to start showing up, and it has an FDA decision due "soon" that adds 10x to the value of their test.
So my next screenshot (and /u/theycallme1 and a few others that follow the stock) will be when BGMD hits their FDA and then people will be all over the stock like white on rice and you know what? By the time we post our screenshots, the run-up will be near the end and you'll be buying near the top and then wondering why the hell you're the only one on WSB not making money.

I made some decent sized bets on WFM (wholefoods) it was an earnings play and it ran up all the way to earnings and I was up ~95%. I stuck it out to see if the earnings would do what we all hoped and now it is surely going to be gone tomorrow (down 7% AH). My question is, anyone have any hope of the stock making some small rally in the morning. I didn't think they disapointed that bad and overall I still like the company. Their P/E is high and I am sure that is what disapointed when it came to growth.
TLDR; Anyone think there will be value left in 57.5 Calls in the morning? IV is going to be killed and it is down 7% premarket.

Holy shit. My mom came into my room to bring me a plate of chicken nuggets and I literally screamed at her and hit the plate of chicken nuggets out of her hand.

I work for the company that supplied the structural adhesive dispensing equipment for the model 3 line. I was shocked how late in the game they were for ordering this stuff.

Less than 10k (look at picture 2). But the growth is from savings and contributions, not investment returns, which are actually slightly negative. We have saved about 6-7k/month for the last 16 months. Before that we just had 10k in my wife's Roth because all our money was going towards paying off student loans (100k between us) buying a house and fixing it up (50k), and starting a business (80k). We finally started saving for retirement/log term at the beginning of last year, just in time for our 30th birthdays.

Shares are still dropping from 2 months ago when I posted about it. Their margins are suffering since they are struggling to compete with Amazon and online shopping. Do you guys see a turnaround for this company? Their current numbers dont look too bad but I think problem is the change in consumer shopping pattern. As my friend mentioned yesterday, they have 3-4 boxes delivered everyday to their home from Amazon where is wife does all the shopping. I think also the biggest red flag for me is the last quarter was not good for them and its the busiest time for them when college kids shop for the school beginning in August/Sept.
BBBY has a long term vision to make a come back for 2020 which is increasing their operating costs. Problem is things change so rapidly, I think another company or Amazon would have set another huge leap forward.
Any feedback is appreciated:) . It would be interesting to see if the stock continues to bleed or if it has hit the bottom. The 5 year chart pattern is not pretty to look at as well.

Seriously, I'm curious how you degenerates kill yourselves other than rope. I probably have on average 4-8 beers and 3-5 liquor drinks (each one is probably 3 shots at least). My wife doesn't care / even really notice because I have to drink close to half a handle to start acting like a drunk idiot (which I probably do once every 3 years).
## Speaker_0: ##
I have 5 beers per night on average. This is down from a few months ago where I was drinking half a 1/5 of whiskey a night.
I eat salads for lunch and go to the gym to maintain myself so I can keep up this lifestyle. I also need 3 cups of coffee and Tylenol in the morning to keep me from feeling shitty.
## Speaker_1: ##
Might want to switch pain killers. Alcohol and Tylenol are bad enough separate, together you might as well be on the transplant list already.
I mean, stopping both is better, but who has time for that?
## DegenBot: ##
Right, I used to take 3 Tylenol per morning, I'm down to 2 now. Some mornings I don't take any it just depends.
I've been drinking closer to 4 beers on average a night now, I've been smoking more regularly and drinking less.
The end goal is to smoke during the weekdays and drink only on weekends, we'll see how that works out though. I have to cope with my losses somehow right?

When is the last time a president had this strong of an economy at a mid term election? I mean if he just would shut up and let the market go, the reps would be sitting pretty.
Instead, he could reasonably put the country into a recession before his reelection if the trade war gets out if hand. +5 pct real GDP QoQ to negative would be quite a stupid accomplishment. But I guess that's the risk you take with debt funded growth.
## Speaker_1: ##
Turns out growth is easier to achieve when we don't give a rat's ass how sustainable it is.
## Speaker_2: ##
There's an entire branch of economics around that.
## Speaker_3: ##
I think it’s called ‘economics.’
## Speaker_2: ##
I was talking about Keynesian economics.
## Speaker_3: ##
Yea i know cuz I was making a joke about how economics is a bullshit field.
## Speaker_2: ##
Economics isn't bullshit. Politicians that ignore it or misinterpret it are the ones that make it look like that. If the people in government actually took a basic econ course we could have consistent 4% GDP growth.
## Speaker_3: ##
These are fair points. I wholeheartedly agree that well-intentioned economic ideas are purposefully misinterpreted. However, economics is a soft science and you can’t even do an experiment because of the vast number of influences on an economic system.
## Speaker_0: ##
This is a good point, but at least economics is better acknowledging the it's short comings unlike other social sciences.
## Speaker_4: ##
Many soft sciences have offshoots that would be respected by hard scientists. Sociology, for example, has some seriously impressive data sets and incredibly accurate predictive models for all sorts of things. I use these in my stock picking research, and they've consistently provided decent results. It's all about the data. Cheers.

I use [R](https://www.r-project.org/about.html) (free) and [SPSS](https://www.ibm.com/analytics/spss-statistics-software) (paid) and data both proprietary and public (e.g. census data).
My last major project was analyzing cities for growth factors that are likely to increase housing costs for real estate investment opportunities. Data included the obvious geographics (e.g. mountains, lakes, reservations, etc., which prevent urban sprawl), demographics (e.g. age, race, religion, gender, etc), urban developments (schools, hospitals, courts, police stations, highways, parks,etc.), industrial and commercial growth, etc. etc. etc.., and less obvious things like traffic jams and gas stations per capita.

Stock dropped ~9 percent because of the food scare. Investigations have cleared that Chipotle location and are looking into the neighboring pizza shop. This stock looks to go up to at least its pre-scare level of ~315. The stock is at its 2014 price levels. I’m on my phone, so I’m writing all of this shit from memory. Correct me if my figures are off.
## Speaker_0: ##
Short-term, yes.
Here's your long-term Chipotle DD:
Poor college students love it, but when you go into a Chipotle the average age is like 35-45 depending on location. These college students spending what little money they have there, they graduate and their incomes increase and they keep going there through their 30s and 40s, and Chipotle hasn't really been around long enough to see if those same 90s college goers who are now in their 40s will go in their 50s... but there's nothing indicating that they won't. Only McDonalds and Burger King get this loyalty but their food is also like 25% of the price of a CMG bowl... people definitely like what CMG is putting down; norovirus or not.

TLDR: [Author](https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/17286980.Steve_Oliverez)/Investor, bought ~$100,000 of SPX calls late November through December betting the whole market would go up fast in Q1. It did, and I was able to sell a bunch before February came and wiped out the value of the remaining options (*As I've said before, options trading is extremely risky and buying out-of-the-money options even more so). [Total profit, ~$2,500,000](https://ibb.co/gk0bax).
Many of you know I was posting about $100k in SPX calls back in December and then January when the value started taking off. Figured I owed you an update.
Why I bought a crazy amount of SPX calls:
Congress passed a bill slashing corporate tax rates in December. The last time corporate taxes were reduced so much was back in 1986. So I looked at how the market reacted at the beginning of 1987 and saw a huge spike in the S&P 500 in the first quarter.
I wanted to bet the market would react in a similar fashion. I looked through various strike prices in Jan-Mar and modeled which ones would have the highest payouts if Jan 2018 was a repeat of Jan 1987. I also ran a few more conservative scenarios and bought options at those inflection points as well. Many of these options were so far out of the money at the time they were selling for under a dollar. With volatility so low a melt up wasn’t being priced in at all so I put in every dollar I was comfortable losing.
January turned out to be the best first month of the year for the market in more than two decades. The value of the options skyrocketed, some by as much as 5000%.
I was excited and terrified for the same reasons I bought options and not futures or heavily margined shares in the first place. Going back to 1987, there was eventually a large crash (Black Monday) that wiped out most of the gains for that year. I also knew we were currently going through one of the largest stretches of market history without a substantial pullback. I was pretty sure the market was going to go up and fast, but it was like a game of hot potato to lock in gains before a major correction happened.
With that in mind I actively sold off chunks of the investment as it went up in January. Since I didn’t know if or when a correction would happen, I wanted to make sure I locked in as much profit as possible.
I was still holding the bag on a bunch of these options when Feb came and wiped them out, taking a large amount of paper gains with them. Another green week and I definitely would have been into yacht-money territory with this trade.
Still, I’d managed to sell enough in January to lock in two and a half million dollars from a $100k investment.
Aside from NVDA leaps I picked up last year and stocks I plan on holding indefinitely, I'm currently mostly in cash waiting to figure out the next move.

So I was talking to one of my associates today about acquiring some shoes. He is a self-described sneaker head so I was going to him for some sound advice, as I am not a sneaker head. I just wanted to buy a pair of Jordan’s to see what the hype was about. I didn’t care the color or the year. Long story short while he was doing his sneaker due diligence, I decided to do a little due diligence of my own. He suggested I sign up for a shoe raffle at Footlocker $FL to acquire my shoes as getting them online would be difficult due to others utilizing bots.
A few keystrokes later I see that FL has just recently miss earning terribly. They are down 50% YTD. Margins and profits are down YOY, and they are generally in bad shape. Earnings expectations have been adjusted accordingly. Now I don’t see this as a long term play, as I don’t do single stock picking, but I decided to look a little more into this for possibly my first YOLO play. FL is very cyclical with Q1 and Q4 usually being its strongest quarters. This makes sense as this not only incorporates the holiday season, but also coincides with the start of the Football and Basketball seasons in the US. I also believe FL is being dragged down by the entire retail sector as a whole. $AMZN has been fucking up retail all year, and they just recently announced a deal with $NKE to sell Nike products directly on Amazon.com. Basically it has been a total shit storm for FL. This has led to a complete over reaction by shareholders which has caused FL to fall 50% YTD. FL is still making money, albeit on lower margins, but they are also still paying a solid dividend. They have a pretty solid balance sheet, and they have pretty good brand recognition. While I personally believe their online offerings could use some work, I believe the nature and culture of shoes in general gears towards in store interaction and sales. Buying a new shoe online can be difficult unless you already know the brand and model. They also have the added benefit of exclusive releases that people literally kill for.
With all that being said I see a few Feb. 16 2018 calls with a strike price of $47.00 are just $0.50. $47 may seem like a long shot with $FL trading around $35 today, but once again it is down 50% YTD and was trading at $77 as recently as May. Plus many of the OTM calls are cheap as fuck!!! You would just spend it on blow and hookers anyway!
TL;DR: pick up some cheap OTM Feb 2018 calls for $FL, name your yacht after me.
Full disclosure: I don’t have the ability to trade options yet. I expect to transfer my assets to a real broker in September. I’m sorry for being a RH fag.

Still a pretty bad year overall.
> The small change to the fourth quarter did not change growth for the entire year. That came in at an anemic 1.6 percent, the worst showing in five years. President Donald Trump has pledged to boost GDP growth to 4 percent or better, though private economists are doubtful.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah but I think it should prove positive for the market today. The jobs claim came in higher than estimates but could that partially be due to discouraged workers entering the market?
## DegenBot: ##
Yeah, I can't really see a scenario where this isn't good news for the market as a whole - there should at least be a bit of a bounce on $SPX this morning. It started off down in pre-market but seems to be crossing over neutral right now.

Anybody have thoughts on this one. Rather new investor with some money to risk. I haven't figured out options yet so I am considering IPO's.
## Speaker_0: ##
Tangential to your VA question but if you aren't selling options, you are likelier to lose money in the long run.
Considering that we are in a rising market with no known bubbles or looming dangers (personal opinion,) you are better off trading IPOs than options.
Here's a motif to back this up: https://www.motifinvesting.com/motifs/recent-ipos#/overview
## Speaker_1: ##
Thanks for the info. I understand that options are the better "bet" long term as it is a calculable risk versus the unknown volatility of IPO's. However I can't wrap my thick head around purchasing the option to sell something you don't own.
I need to find a good ELI5 description and start doing some paper trades.
## DegenBot: ##
>purchasing the option to sell something you don't own.
You buy a put. The stock drops below the strike price of the put. That contract obligates someone else to buy Stock A from you at the strike price. You can buy the stock on the open market for the lower price and sell it for the strike price, realizing the profit.
While you may not own the stock when you buy the put, the implication is that you would buy it in order to sell for profit.

So, I've been doing pretty well in my own investing account, and I've been helping control another person's (much larger) account recently and netted some pretty decent gains for them. This has now garnered some attention for others where I have a couple other people wanting me to manage their money. Obviously, I'm hesitant to do so, but even more so concerned about the logistics. My trading strategy combines a few long term plays, but mostly quickly timed swing trades. I currently have 3 different brokerage accounts open at all times during the trading day. 2 of mine (yolo account and responsible account) and one for the guy I'm managing, and that's just too many damn windows. Not sure if anyone else has experience with this but I'm not trying to create a hedge fund or anything, and hoping there's an easier way than taking my series 7 and all that jazz. I've heard of things like C2 that mimic my trades in others' accounts but not sure how it would work when I'm trying to scalp on like 15 minute swings or trade not-very-liquid options and stuff like that.
Help me lose some more people money WSB.
## Speaker_0: ##
Separate IB accounts, and control trades through an API?
But in all seriousness, this is a terrible idea.
## Speaker_1: ##
Why is this a terrible idea?
If the risk of me losing them money is your only reason, then I will negate that argument for you right now. These people want to dedicate a portion of their portfolio to a high risk/high reward strategy that I offer and has shown consistent gains. They're fully aware of the risks of losing it all.
## Speaker_0: ##
Let's ignore the risks of losing money, and what these people have said. Note, they may change their mind later once they actually lose money.
A quick summary on the big reasons:
Are you doing it for free? - If so, you're an idiot.
Are you charging a fee? - You aren't registered, so that is illegal.
## DegenBot: ##
The one person I'm managing I'm not charging. Just a close family friend and I'm trying to prove myself to him to be able to parlay it into other stuff later. I will need to charge in the future. Thanks for that advice.

Basically go all in selling FD puts on companies announcing earnings the next day to collect sweet IV gains. I’m retarded and didn’t factor in after hours/before open when making the original list so the actual plays on each day will differ, but you get the idea. What I ended up playing last week:
10 Jul – PEP https://imgur.com/a/rGuJZO1
11 Jul – FAST https://imgur.com/a/0okc992
12 Jul – DAL Bought 20 back before remembering to get screenshot. https://imgur.com/a/ne0QYEt
13 Jul – C, WFC, JPM https://imgur.com/a/WotxCwU https://imgur.com/a/CR5pbJH https://imgur.com/a/nzhzZ7K
First week in total: https://imgur.com/a/Z3dgV3I
Pretty good start to the season, FAST really helped out, and my worst play (financials) ended up pretty much breaking even. Plans for next week:
16 Jul – BAC
17 Jul – NFLX
18 Jul – MS
19 Jul – AXP
20 Jul – MSFT
I might start playing a little more conservative and start selling ATM/OTM depending on the stock because I’m a pussy and have some gains to protect, but we’ll see what happens.
I'm retarded so forgive formatting.

Both those biotechs have been going through a rough ride in the past two weeks. TLON is specially surprising since the PDUFA date is right around the corner (Aug 12th). Many expected these two companies to behave like ARNA or VVUS. However, they´ve been having a completely different behavior. It seems like this could be due to short positions and bear raids, [this is an interesting article about it](http://seekingalpha.com/article/785481-bear-raids-and-tree-shaking-in-biotechnology-and-drugs), but also (in the case of TLON), because of uncertainty on whether they will get approval.
At this point, with TLON, I feel like it is a complete gamble. I hope for good jump if Marqibo gets approved. For NAVB, I still think that it should climb over the next few weeks. Anyone has any opinions?
## DegenBot: ##
Precisely because everyone is expecting an ARNA/VVUS on upcoming PDUFA stocks that things are going bad for bio-stocks. Approval being priced in plus the bleeding after approval just doesn't look enticing enough. There's lots of blood in biotech now (EXEL, NAVB, TLON, CRTX). I would definitely wait till more optimism comes back to biotech before thinking of any run ups.
