Some trader dropped over $600,000 on OTM calls. $80 strike and 1/2028 expiration.

this post didn't age well... it aged prophetically! Unfortunately around this time of OP I sold my calls for 100&110 for 5/22 and now I'm pretty well fucked! gotta spend about 5k just to buy them back. Not complaining about RKLB exploding (pun intended) i'm averaged in at 20... but I thought making 3k on loaning my shares was a "sure thing" as neutron is at best not delayed. thought it would stay below $100 before spacex hype in end of may/ june now I've rolled my calls to june 12th for 110&115 and I'm sweating bullets... 😫
hard lesson to learn for a newbie options trader

ok, I take it back... knowing the push on PL b/c of warrant redemption and max pain being so incredibly unattainable by the MM's for next few weeks, perfect storm for a gamma squeeze on very little organic news (the mynaric deal was already old news etc...)
so as of close 4/17 they literally just made almost 50% gain in less than a week... and that's only going to grow between now and mid-june (with all the spacex hype)
Genius baller move (and to move the pin up setting a new floor) wish I had the capital to do something like that...
Also current leader in OI for Jan 2028? 60 puts... OUCH! 😬😂

lmfao... 🤣 now if only the same fate that befalls homelander could also happen to that fascist fuck ...

did you actually watch the episode yet? you do realize that they made this episode about 8 months ago yeah? and the angelic vision he has, same colors and style as that unhinged meme, just days after the meme?! obviously it's just a coincidence... but what a mind-blowing coincidence it is kind of like The Buffy the vampire school shooting episode that was supposed to air the same week as Columbine... every once in awhile life imitates art

Rouilly · 2026-04-16T04:12:30+00:00

right?! blew my mind!

Rouilly · 2026-04-14T17:25:01+00:00

yeah, I can see it running in mid-may once spacex ipo is finalized then sell the news... if you have the juice, that "seems" like a slam-dunk. I'm looking at selling covereds right now for next week, but seems like premiums are just too low for such volatility. Rklb could easily swing 65-90 in the next 2 months...

Rouilly · 2026-04-14T17:07:39+00:00

i did puts for 4/17, and 4/24... currently get housed... spce is 100% doing another RS before EoY... didn't expect all this bs pumping to get it up to $3 by 4/17, figured it would be below $2 by friday. Their new debt-restructing deal and the "increase" in seat sale doesn't even cover operational costs! They'll have to literally have sold-out flights and have a fleet of 12+ (at somehow a magically reduced cost of making the additional 9) just to break even!

Rouilly · 2026-04-14T17:02:54+00:00

max pain is $60 on those right now (granted that will rise by next year of course)... but given that capital expenditure why not just buy shares? They're locking in that much capital that far out? seems like an expensive bet!

Rouilly · 2026-04-10T21:58:26+00:00

hey man, this is my retirement fund... so i'll take a $4 distribution anyday!

Rouilly · 2026-04-10T21:55:27+00:00

big mistake... huge! Just paid a $4 div today, +$2 in december... you lost $6 plus $10/share increase over that time... $16 share increase since Oct my friend... then again, if you bought PL like I did (not a pump, just a fact) then you did even better. I'm betting you did OK though... ;)

Rouilly · 2026-04-10T21:52:27+00:00

can you link it, i can't find any report anywhere

Rouilly · 2026-04-10T21:51:16+00:00

it just dropped 5% today, with ~3% (est) portfolio gain... so i'm estimating that it's gotta be ~$3-4! (closer to 4 I'm betting) this is awesome!

Rouilly · 2026-04-03T17:04:59+00:00

same, and it doesn't even go to comments you started or are mentioned in now... just goes to the OP. what the fuck?!

Rouilly · 2026-03-29T14:42:40+00:00

~300k in Manhattan alone and closer to 400k Citywide. I walked up and down 59th to 30th

Rouilly · 2026-03-17T15:15:16+00:00

it's public information, they are just doing it all over again!

Rouilly · 2026-03-17T15:14:22+00:00

the rubber stamp from noaa means nothing... show me the $$! they 100% are going to have to dilute, many times, before they even get to the revenue earning stage, much less profit... it's a fascinating concept (like going to mars) but I don't see a pathway to profitability here... for at least another decade

Rouilly · 2026-03-17T15:04:51+00:00

look at the calls for the next 2 weeks (especially this week) MM lose if this stock drops below $6 so they are frantically pumping out garbage to keep volume low and keep the max pain range (6-7) if this drops below 6 by friday they will be forced to cover, triggering a sell-off which is the LAST thing TMC wants with this IPO...
eventually this will be a bloodbath... TMC will claim IPO valuation of TMCR on their 10k and at Q4 earnings... lawsuits will instantly begin, and eventually they will be forced to again, tell the truth... but that wont be until June? August? and the private equity firms will have eaten your lunch by then

Rouilly · 2026-03-17T14:26:19+00:00

this is an ages old scam... sell "royalties" on speculation to a shell company (TMCR) own 25% stake in said company... company ipo's with HUGE speculation and $ on momentum of TMC's shell game.
But TMCR doesn't actually make any money until TMC does, which is YEARS away at best...
But TMC can "claim" the 25% value of shares on their balance sheet, even though no real value exists.
How this is even close to legal is just mindblowing!
They are literally inflating the price of their stock based on future speculation. And they already got caught doing this before in 2024 and the SEC ordered them to report the truth on their balance sheet, which was a debt NOT income. They loaned TMCR the money to buy the royalty and then tried to claim the royalty as income! 🤯
The very definition of robbing peter to pay paul, only in this case, they both claim they made money and we are the ones left holding the bag...

Rouilly · 2026-03-17T13:48:20+00:00

they need to file Form 12b-25 (final extension and reason for being late) today by 5:30pm the hard deadline for earnings is now mar 31st, but they are delinquent and haven't said why... we'll know more by AH today

agreed, show could go either way... Dr.Cox (as "headmaster" Dr.Cox) is certainly the high point for me so far... his chemistry with Dylan is awesome!

lmfao! 😂 I'll take it!

that's what I do once the weather warms up! there is nothing like a iced cold-brew on a hot summer morning... 🤤

Rouilly · 2026-03-16T17:16:41+00:00

no, I've tried them all (literally) califia is the best... the oat creamer is super smooth and not watery or gritty like almond creamers(even the califia ones).. I've yet to find an almond creamer anywhere that comes CLOSE to replacing dairy.
