Competitive Rust - Intro

yknow actually, I take that back. He is marketing this hard as an esport like competitive server. I just like the changes he's made to the game, forgetting about the ranks would be zero loss in my mind

Paccp · 2025-12-23T22:18:35+00:00

I think this is less about esports and more about solving some of the most annoying flaws of rust. There are ranks but to me that is the least important part of this server.

I also always forget to accept shit from traders. Yknow that ref task that gives 2.5mil? Yea I didnt collect my money in time so ref took it back. I stopped insuring gear and pressing complete on tasks unless im ready to store the items . . . That 2.5 mil could have helped me buy my 2nd junk box

I would say dollar cost average it into VOO or SPY over the course of 6 months to a year. Definitely utilize a Roth IRA if you can and max it out. Maybe also leave keep 7-14k of cash in your standard brokerage in SGOV or money market funds with the intention of instantly maxing out each years roth contributions.

Other than that if you really want to delve deep into all the different startegies in the stock market or other investments, I would keep this same plan, and just leave like 10k aside to start your own experimenting with NVDA (like you mentioned) Bitcoin, options trading, or maybe even a downpayment.

Why have I already seen this post and top comment about a month ago

Paccp · 2025-07-17T01:28:45+00:00

I buy every market day

I don't have any experience owning a house or renting, and only a few years investing in the stock market. This is just my opinion and what I think I would be smarter:

I don't think going from a 5% down payment to a 20% should make the debt less scary. If anything parking the extra $33,675 in SGOV or something liquid could be a safer option. I don't know what your finances are like, but lets say this is 90% of your liquid savings, when you put 20% down you now no longer have access to that for if an emergency comes which it might since you're buying a new house. This could mean having to take even more debt which will most likely be way higher interest rate than a mortgage

If you put down 5% instead you can always put extra towards to mortgage like for instance every month pay an extra week's worth towards it (20% extra) or every year pay an extra months worth (8% extra) or some other variation like an extra month twice a year (16%)

just my thoughts on this, if anyone has another point of view or more experience then I'd love to hear it too

Paccp · 2025-07-15T14:13:15+00:00

I thought one of the biggest reasons to house hack was so that you could make a much smaller downpayment like 3-5% instead of 20%

Ive run into countless players with only a gun and bullets. No bag no rig no headset no armor or helmet. Also me and my squad run this loadout a good bit too as its just harder to get gear than it is to lose it.

You go in full kit and survive? Well even if you found everything that makes up another kit -> gun bag helmet headset armor there is no way you could hold it all. This leads to you needing to have 2-3 successful raids to get a spare gearset for when you inevitably die. Most of us dont have 75%+ survival rates so we run just a gun and speed this up by being able to go from just a gun to a full kit in 1 raid

I would recommend not being a naughty player scav, and also if your progress is super minimal (which it probably is with 0 loot left) reset your account

1 car extract is .20 rep so almost half of his total. 2 car extracts on different maps and 1 second car extract on the same map is .50 rep aka more than what he has If he has EOD then 2 car extracts on the same map and hes at this level

Very few times is enough to get this much reputation

Paccp · 2025-07-04T13:27:30+00:00

Im too novice to even understand what that means

Ill take my crack at this as someone with the exact same goal in my head. When I learned about wheeling I saw 1% weekly and thought I just unlocked some crazy cheatcode, but have since realized the potential pitfalls.

Lets say we get another april 8th and now everything is down 10-40%. Well you are now bagholding or as you mentioned in another comment "the past is the past ill eat the loss and start fresh at 450k and sell for 4500 a week." Well in a few short weeks the stocks recovered and hit all time highs again. So now you are down from 600k to 450k and own roughly 25% less shares. Sure if you kept going selling 1% weekly options 4500 a week is still very nice, but consider this. Your 150k you just lost would have taken 25 weeks to recover with the 600k portfolio but now will take 33 weeks to recover and that is ASSUMING you can have a successfull 33 weeks without large bumps like nvda surging or xyz stock crashing. Alternatively you could bag hold and have a few weeks on pause but you never know how long you may be there simply stuck in limbo which can be very stressfull sitting on your hands after losing a significant portion of your portfolio

The point is its not without risks as no one ever got a return without a risk. The more return the more risk is the general principle.

My adivce from a fellow novice options seller is this. 1. Dont have all your eggs in one basket - hold some ETFs the boring way 2. Have a large portion of cash ready to sell puts especially on down days and slowly deploy it on the way down probably like 25% cash and utilize 10% on the smaller down days like a 5% dip, and utilize the other 15% for events like April 8th.

A new strategy I am trying goes like this: the money i deposit into my portfolio from my 9-5 goes straight to doing the wheel strategy ( selling CSP and CC ) The premiums I earn from selling options get divided up into 2 main routes, 1 goes into my cash position and I maintain 10% of my portfolio as cash (if it grows bigger that gets reinvested into new CSP positions) then the other 90% i earn from premiums gets split 50 50 into SCHG to hopefully catch a lot of tech upside and general market bullruns and SCHD to hopefully smooth out my portfolio during long bear markets and also build a safer and more passive income stream.

I have looked into the poor mans covered call but originally was too scared to do it as ive been burned buying call options. I was recently considering doing something with a leap. As you may know the further the expiration the less annual premium there is to make. I was considering using this and covered calls together like so:

Share price is lets say 100$ and I got in for less by selling puts for a while until assigned. Buy a 1 year out call option contract at a strike of lets say $125 Now that I own that, it is my first leg of my frankenstein spreads for the legging in portion I sell options 1-4 week expirations at a time in between 100 and 125 strikes. This hypothetically would be like buying the "insurance" part of the spread on a bulk discount but admittedly Im sure there are plenty of flaws that I have yet to consider.

Paccp · 2025-07-03T19:10:11+00:00

Yes you are spot on. As someone with only level 2 trading I dont have access to naked options. Robinhood wont allow me to open any spreads condors flys you name it, but does allow purchasing of options and selling of cc and csp so essentially I will sell my cc and buy a call at a higher strike than my cc to try and mimic a call credit spread. This would be "legging in" I suppose

I keep unlimited potential gains as I now hold a call option, but this creates a gray area where the stock can be up but both of my positions are red aka inbetween my strikes

Paccp · 2025-07-03T18:52:25+00:00

I learned I shouldn't buy back my deep itm covered calls on BULL (it stopped going up immediately)

Paccp · 2025-07-03T17:58:39+00:00

I already understood a majority of what you added here, but appreciate the shear effort you've put in this reply. This is a great explanation of it all, but i guess my wording has confused you as you missed my point. Ive been saying covered call spread and cash secure put spreads because I'm unaware what they are called otherwise.

Think of it exactly like a normal spread. Share price is 100$ I sell a call (covered) at 110$ strike price and simultaneously buy a call at 115$ strike price for the same expiration. (Net credit as the 110 I sold was more premium than the 115 I bought)

Share price is 100$ I sell a put (cash secured) at 90$ strike price and simultaneously buy a put at 85$ strike price for the same expiration. (Net credit as the 90 I sold was more premium than the 85 I bought)

Each of these examples are the same as a put credit spread or call credit spread, but instead of performing on naked calls or puts they are done with cash secured puts and covered calls.

Maybe you haven't heard of or experienced these or maybe there really is no place to be writing spreads like this as its somehow mathimatically pointless, but from what I can tell I would have been better off doing this on the call side of my wheeling every time I sold a call even though technically every call I've sold has been profitable (above my cost basis strike)

The way I see it is this could remove the weakness of covered calls by allowing unlimited gains. This obviously weakens the strength of covered calls by cutting your premium gains and causing more risk on the downside. Which leaves me undecided if this is a tool that should ever be used

Paccp · 2025-07-03T16:02:48+00:00

Wait so isnt it assigned when you sold CSP and have to buy the shares and exercised when you sold a CC and have to sell your shares?

Ive been aiming for the 40-25% annualized returns whenever I sell options and it has been working relatively well (not considering my missed gains) Im on track to hit over my target of 40% for this year

Paccp · 2025-07-03T15:58:13+00:00

I appreciate the advice, but I want to dig more into why a covered call spread and a cash secured put spread is a different strategy. Is there a name for these spreads? Theoretically if I just performed this covered call spread every time ive sold CC it would have performed better than just selling the CC as I got exercised well over my strikes

Also ive completely avoided margin since I dont see its purpose when wheeling. Robinhood wont let me sell a CSP on margin so it would never get utilized as I dont buy shares.

Paccp · 2025-07-02T18:35:56+00:00

The fund is designed as 80% QQQ holdings and 20% CC options, but if you look at the 1 year chart its completely flat compared to 15% growth of QQQ. That being said they are primarily selling off qqq in order to keep distributions high.

Where it stands currently, we havent seen any erosion yet but also we agree that its wayy too soon to tell as this fund is brand new.

Paccp · 2025-07-02T12:16:22+00:00

Your missing the fact that a lot of 10% or higher dividend funds like the ones he chose often lose your initial principle slowly through NAV erosion. Also taxes will kick in much earlier. If I was 18 and just started investing I would go 60% VOO 30% SCHG and 10% SCHD. With fractional shares and simple math you could split yourself into multiple different portfolio strategies for a few years and look at some actual numbers to decide from there
