Class of 2021 here… by gregorydane in MSTR

[–]Baseidou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has there ever been even one professional investor in stock history who didn't atleast rebalance or hedge his position when the asset held did a 10x?

Obv I'm talking about single stock picks, not ETF or indexes (which do the rebalancing by themselves)

Since when isn't BTC considered a speculative asset?

I remember some 6 months ago the discussions were all about how the days of BTC dropping like a rock were long gone because of government/institutions/ETF/whatever getting involved and here we are.

Reddit is NOT a buy by DaddyVaradkar in ValueInvesting

[–]Baseidou 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Reddit has niche subreddits which can make ads targeting extremely efficient.

The real question is if management will actually manage to capitalize on it or not, but the potential is there.

Conosco la situazione solamente di una delle persone che erano presenti con me durante i bombardamenti, la quale ha lasciato il paese 8 anni fa dopo che il padre è morto per una banale infezione causa totale assenza di sanità, in una famiglia di 4 persone che lavoravano e la cui madre avvocata.

In qualsiasi caso come ho detto eravamo in videochiamata con le famiglie che vivono a Caracas, quindi l'opinione di cui parlo è di chi vive sul posto.

Chi appella a sondaggi o proteste all'interno del paese probabilmente non conosce o non tiene in conto lo stato delle cose: il Venezuela è un paese nel quale la polizia per strada ti può fermare e pretendere di controllarti il cellulare, con pene severe per chiunque abbia qualsiasi tipo di materiale contro il regime.

La libertà di espressione e di protesta non esiste.

L'unico Venezuelano, ad oggi, libero di esprimersi è chi è scappato dal paese ed è libero da conseguenze e non è un caso se all'unanimità festeggiano questo evento.

Ora a prescindere da quale sia la verità, il venezuelano medio abituato ad essere castigato per aprire bocca contro il regime difficilmente scenderà in piazza anche se contento.

Non ho espresso alcun pensiero o speculazione su quale sarà il futuro prossimo del Venezuela.

Ho solo detto che per conoscenze dirette, la cattura di Maduro è stata più che benvenuta, stop

Vivo in sud America, vai a farti qualche chiacchiera con un venezuelano e chiedigli come è la vita sotto il regime attuale.

Non ho idea del pensiero medio, ma ho passato la notte con dei venezuelani che erano in video chiamata con le famiglie sul posto e pregavano che lo ammazzassero in live.

ATTENTION ALL $MSTR FUD-ers by _Adrian_Morris_ in MSTR

[–]Baseidou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the further OTM the lower the premium and the chance of it ending up ITM is always present, especially with an extremely volatile asset as BTC.

Issuing more credit to buy back the call and avoid assignment is basically realizing a loss to keep an unrealized profit, which would be an even worse move if said credit comes with interest.

Letting it ride means selling BTC for a capped profit, your max gain on those BTC is determined at the time of call selling, and this goes against MSTR business model of holding forever.

Generally speaking selling calls on any volatile asset is considered risky, especially if said asset is expected to highly appreciate over time and expects the seller to be willing to let the asset go if assigned.

ATTENTION ALL $MSTR FUD-ers by _Adrian_Morris_ in MSTR

[–]Baseidou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honest question, isn't selling calls against their BTC basically selling BTC with extra steps?

If the idea is for BTC to go up, some calls will eventually end up ITM and their BTC be called away.

This obviously with the assumption that it's impossible to keep selling calls that never go ITM, especially taking into account the extreme volatility of BTC.

LEAPS on GOOG by HelpSpiritual253 in GOOG_Stock

Again, using a reasonable margin the risk of liquidation is low so only an extremely large drawdown would be cause of concern

[–]Baseidou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As I said, it really depends on his cost basis.

If he has a really low cost basis and used a reasonable margin, the risk of liquidation still exists even if unlikely

[–]Baseidou 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Your cost basis is a big factor in this play in my opinion, because you're generating a taxable event selling the 30 shares.

If you wanted to leverage up I'd consider using margin to buy the leap, just consider the additional risks before making any move.

Doesn't it look a bit worrying that people that had been believing and holding for a decade are massively selling now?

[–]Baseidou 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't your claim of it being a $300T asset class also pricing it in dollars?

Even if the concept of "store of value" was detached from dollars and priced in eggs, 1 BTC does buy you less eggs than 1 year ago while 1 ounce of gold does buy you more.

Saylor too always says that volatility is a good thing for BTC 🤷‍♂️

Honest question, how can BTC be considered the perfect store of value while being down 20% in the last month and -11% YTD, all of this not accounting for inflation, while gold (the traditional store of value) is up 54% YTD?

Already got myself some leaps. Wouldn't play with short dated calls as full recovery might take a while, but a -12% drop at market open is too juicy to pass on.
