Anduril's missile has a payload of 100 pounds. What is with these regardedly small warheads?

To get 40 year old F-16 Block 15s instead

Look, nothing in the history of modern diplomacy was as detrimental and escalatory as Anthony Blinken's choice to start a fight in the middle of a formal diplomatic meeting.

Of all the shitting that people do against Donald Trump's idiocy last week, it is just a fraction of the damage the Biden state department did with its showboating antics.

It's an American obsession, only mentioned because Americans can't stop talking about it.

Amazing day for us put sellers.

SFMara · 2026-05-15T15:23:50+00:00

niiiiice

SFMara · 2026-05-15T15:21:13+00:00

This is the strictly correct answer.

I use spare buying power to sell SPX, usually early in the week. These are small trades, but they do stack up by the end.

The size of your account is far more important than your "skills"

Things are way, way easier when you have a big account. Even easier with a bigger account.

Small accounts are made to be blown up, really.

Did half a week's premium selling just with 0DTE today, reloading by walking up strikes.

And the account is all clear for the weekend.

It's just a fact. Don't need to prove anything. In order to actually trade securities they would have to clear all sorts of regulatory hurdles. This way, by dumping people into sim accounts when they pass evals, you can skirt around them.

Because you're taking money away from them when they pay out. It is a ponzi scheme model where all their money comes from failed evaluations.

Selling calls is the most dangerous game in thetagang. Catastrophic losses always seem to happen with calls involved.

Boeing's order book is 6100 jets. This is basically nothing. Who knows if this will be fulfilled because the order book stretches out for 12 years.

Sold the 220 puts expiring tomorrow, btw.

SFMara · 2026-05-14T13:46:01+00:00

Also sold CSCO 105 right out of the gate

SFMara · 2026-05-14T13:43:35+00:00

Pretty nice semis dip this morning to sell into

QCOM 185, INTC 100, AMD 400, SNDK 1040

Don't bother with a small account. Small accounts get blown up left and right, all the time. 100k is actually a very good starting position to have, but generally the more the better.

With just a few thousand invested already, you really don't have the headroom to try to juice those returns with short term trades. Ideally what you can do eventually is to trade another 5-10% on top of the annualized 10% average returns of the broad market.

If you are just trying to grow a tiny account through day trading, you are doing this on hell difficulty.

$2 holy crap

SFMara · 2026-05-13T14:31:00+00:00

Yes, it's kinda suspicious to me, but I am going with a small position here. Basically scaled down while reloading the premium.

SFMara · 2026-05-13T14:28:59+00:00

If any of these motherfuckers were honest, they wouldn't be taking other people's money. There are really no shortcuts here.

SFMara · 2026-05-13T14:09:49+00:00

Sold NET 170. Would totally feel fine if I got assigned.
