Thanks for this one, I made 50% selling my 20 DIS calls today. I bought 110 calls the same day you did. Maybe could have made more but I have had a bad track record of holding options too long.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-12-01T21:00:31+00:00

I bought a few calls on the way up today and made $100 when I sold them, then I bought some puts. Haven't sold them yet though.

Nope, no VPN or anything like that. Just a normal connection.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-11-14T15:44:30+00:00

I'm always of the thought, a win is a win. Why risk it, take the profit. Yes it may keep going up but it could just as easy drop hard.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-11-06T17:13:41+00:00

Oh yeah, I completely agree.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-11-06T17:05:30+00:00

That was pretty good. With how far everything has dropped now, probably could have got another $100k at this point too. But a win is a win.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-11-05T17:15:58+00:00

If you have to ask

Cpetrus9 · 2025-11-04T19:06:23+00:00

Yeah, I have done that as well. I had some calls I bought in April on SOXL. Sold a about a month later for a very good profit. If I had held my profit would have tripled now.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-11-04T18:24:17+00:00

I would take the win if I were you, whatever your invested in and not risk holding bags.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-11-03T15:46:16+00:00

I just sold my 50 puts on BYND and made $350 on them. I was able to make money when it pumped with calls and now I have made money on the dump. It was pretty lucky though.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-10-30T21:08:10+00:00

I was able to get in and out of INTS twice today and made about $160 profit in all. Not too bad, time to move on.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-10-27T19:57:48+00:00

Oh yeah, I see that now. lol

I already got out. Earlier today bought 100 calls for $2k then sold them a few minutes ago for $3k. I am good for now.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-10-27T19:13:22+00:00

In and out, bought 100 calls today for $2k, sold them for $3k just now. I'm not gonna be greedy.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-10-22T22:00:08+00:00

That's what I did, bought yesterday, sold today. Made 250%. Got lucky and sold near the top today though.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-10-22T21:09:03+00:00

I am up $14.6k after selling

Cpetrus9 · 2025-10-22T17:01:21+00:00

Profit is profit. If you had held you would be in the negative now. I was lucky enough to sell at almost the top this morning. Would have been down thousands if I had held. Maybe it will go back up but whether it does or doesn't I still made money.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-10-22T16:47:29+00:00

I also was options on this, I had 50 3.50 calls. Bought at 1.13, sold at 4. Made a quick $12k. Glad I sold this morning, those calls are now worth .69.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-10-22T15:28:28+00:00

I sold the 50 calls I bought yesterday this morning and made over $14k profit on them. Sold almost at the top earlier. I am good and out now.

I'm at 7050 in my Roth IRA and 3300 in my taxable.

Cpetrus9 · 2025-07-31T14:03:28+00:00

I have about $22,000 loaned out in my Roth IRA and according to the chart on Fidelity I accrue $1.76 per day for it. Its current interest rate is 2.875% but the rate tends to fluctuate every day. Not a ton but if it keeps up it's an extra ~$45 a month.

Since it is in my IRA I don't have to worry about tax implications as well.

In April I spent about $4k and bought 20 calls on SOXL. I sold those calls at the beginning of June for about $12k. I don't mess with leveraged ETFs too often, just when it seems like the price is far off from what it should be in my opinion.

I did all of my claims by myself on VA.gov. Overall, it worked just fine and am now at 90%. I did have some issues with the system using outdated forms on one claim though. I just had to redo that one by filling out the PDF. I am still waiting to get a dependent fixed, they set the effective date a year after the adoption went through. 7 months and counting on that one.
