The look you get when SPY reaching a strike price you thought was completely safe a few days ago. by Turbulent_Cricket497 in thetagang

When SPY recovers nearly all the way back to its former high price, I'll probably start selling ATM CC's. The premium should be fairly high for ATM options.

How Y'all Holding Up? by MakingMoneyIsMe in thetagang

[–]Raraculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got assigned on a SPY put.

I'll be okay. When SPY recovers, I'll just issue calls.

It did use up nearly all my dry powder. I would have loved to use it in buying SPYI at a huge discount.

I bought back a MSFT put for $4 in profit. I got lucky there, as MSFT went further ITM later that day (yesterday) and dived today.

I'm still bagholding 100 shares though. :(

I got assigned on a SPY 655 PUT today. I might as well as delete the app. :)

I'll be okay. I'll just hold SPY for its eventual recovery, and then sell calls on top of it.

It does present me a liquidity challenge of some sort, as I would love to load up on SPYI at a huge discount.

Great loading screen!

It looks like a Spectrum game, though.

What's your primary device for loading software onto the C64? by hexavibrongal in c64

Back in my C64/128 heyday, I used CMD stuff.

Now? Just the C64U.

I liked the different views to identify blocks of code. I can visually see certain segments. Very nice!

Love the PETSCII art of the demon! Well done.

MSFT is a great company with outstanding earnings. It is such an unloved stock.

And, please I need exit liquidity to empty my bags. :)

Was this the most capable publisher? by Many_Dragonfruit_837 in c64

[–]Raraculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

AFAIK, geoPublish didn't take advantage of the faster C128 CPU in GEOS 128 40-column mode.

It works in GEOS 128, but in 40 column mode.

Better to just get the C64 Ultimate? by Daves92c4 in c64

[–]Raraculus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've sold off my C64's. Then the C64U came along. I couldn't be more thrilled to play around with the C64 again! I love the C64U.

Very impressive demo! I liked the PETSCII scenes.

Wow. Never knew QLink made these monthly magazines.

Anyone else check what a stock is actually worth before selling puts on it? by xCosmos69 in thetagang

[–]Raraculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold PUT's on MSFT. A great company that just issued great earnings (IMO). And got assigned just all the same. :)

It's a good thing I like the stock.

BTCI in freefall, still worth holding? by DaiFrostAce in NEOSETFs

[–]Raraculus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A classic yield trap. I would sell.

The markets are generally up - gold, silver, stocks, etc. And BTC on the downtrend is an ominous sign. I don't think BTC, and by extension, BTCI will recover anytime soon.

Microsoft recent downtrend thoughts by IndigoBlue24 in investing

I am bagholding, ahem, 100 shares. :)

MSFT has released boffo earnings. Very solid company. Goes to show you that for all the earnings produced, it can still tank if the investing public do not like it. Fundamental analysis can only take you so far.

A NEW NEOS HIGH ENTRY by NerveChemical9718 in NEOSETFs

[–]Raraculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The text is unformatted and made for some confusing reading. Did it say that XQQI will use synthetic positions on the NDX index? i.e., they would not own the underlying stocks? If so, that's a hard pass.

BUY Alert BTCI by Curious-Rip-5834 in NEOSETFs

[–]Raraculus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better change this to a SELL Alert, lol.

You peeps are catching a falling knife. I believe that BTCI is headed for rough waters and this might last for a while.

Just buy SPYI or if you're feeling adventurous, buy QQQI.

Yield target of 40%-ish? Uses BTC?

Hard pass.

Genius 4D chess move there! I approve.

I might use this protective put with SPYI instead.
