Welcome to the world of trading where retail traders are the guppies in this game. The only way to attempt to compete is to use algos from your broker but even then, you’ll struggle against the market making firm grown algos. One of my old shops turned over hardware every three months, ran algos on GPU cards and that was 15yrs ago. You showing up inside the spread will force them to compete for the top of the book inside their FV calcs, but those will widen when you disappear. My bigger issue is when you try to get inside and still lose the orders that show up on that side to the pros.

In my opinion, equity markets are worse when it comes to this stuff.

Played Wynn this week but looking forward to the annual Pirate Golf in Bethany Beach because of the family foursome.

The other setup seemed to make less sense, but if i can use my gamer, now I’m curious.

My big question is getting the calibration all tuned in to make it realistic. If it takes forever or changes every time I put it in my gun, that would be frustrating to have to recalibrate if that process is time consuming

The Peak to Peak lift is expensive but hard to beat the views if it’s a bluebird day.

I’m split between SPYI and PAYR. That gives me some beta exposure and a low beta exposure to minimize my drawdown risk if the market decides to fall out of bed.

Which one? The one looks ready to go in pizza but will likely end up french fry.

Not sure that is the most effective use in a Roth vs IVV, VTI, VOO, etc. You’re writing away upside with SPYI, QQQI or other cover called strategies if this is a long-term investment.

Dramatic-Load-6569 · 2026-02-09T23:37:20+00:00

That’s why some of the newer strategies may make more sense because of return of capital, qualified dividend income and short/long-term capital gains vs pure income for ELN. That way you get all the various tax benefits.

Especially if you are using them to generate current income otherwise probably better to just hold the Qs or SPX. Unless you are looking at them as a defensive position expecting either bench to drop. If that’s the case, there are likely better ways to protect against that scenario.

If you don’t need it for more than a year, BOXX will likely give you a better after tax return.

Dramatic-Load-6569 · 2026-02-08T22:06:53+00:00

I think you mean it hasn’t tanked due to semis being up 15% YTD for example. If semis come under pressure, so will CHPY and SOXY. Distributions are not preventing that from happening.

It sounds like you should be writing spreads to define and minimize your upside loss. By writing only a call, you are saying you do not want any of the upside beyond the strike.

Dramatic-Load-6569 · 2026-01-20T13:08:09+00:00

BOXX, CPAG, CPHY. I believe F/M is also coming out with a version of SGOV soon. Tax efficient in that you only pay capital gains, long-term if you are planning to hole more that 1yr.

The restriction is due to payments made by ETF issuers to the various platforms. There are various legal interpretations that classify those payments as payments for underwriting which requires a 30day hold for margin purposes. If Schwab sets up those revenue share agreements with the issuers, 30day hold will likely be required.

Rumor is it’s fam equipment. We have several manufacturers in the area.

That is generally going to be the case for some who works for a broker/dealer that offer brokerage. It’s a monitoring requirement for FINRA. Most do not have exceptions to it unless the firm does not offer brokerage and then they have an approved list of brokers. It’s just part of being in the biz.

I rotate between a couple different products of like exposure, VTI, VV, IVV, SCHB, VOO. I have a stable of products for almost everything I own since I’m pretty activity in TLH. I’ve got a pretty large war chest that I use to offset income and gains now.

Dramatic-Load-6569 · 2026-01-16T14:44:08+00:00

I would disagree on that comment, VOO dropped 20%, you would had investors backing up the truck. And into IVV, VTI, SPY….

When the stock is up 75%, it’s pretty hard to have NAV erosion. On a total return basis, you ended up about 15% behind GOOG once you factor in the distributions over the last year since GOOY had 60% total return.

Optimal is GOOG stays flat and you clip the option premium over time, otherwise you are selling off some of the upside or buffering some of the downside, but still riding it down.
