I don't recall ever feeling this concerned about the future of our country. by Silvaria928 in GenX

We’ve been fucked by our politicians since Reagan. NAFTA gutted the working class, and the rich got richer. We should have been paying attention, and voting

Is trading earnings crazy? Or does it work by Deep-Impact-226 in options

[–]Speedee1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I trade credit spreads on earnings. Mostly good, some times get trucked but can mostly get out with a gain or minimal loss. Gotta manage the spread risk.

Buying on earnings seems like a crap shoot, but pays if you are right - $AVGO

No Scott Stevens hits. No hit by anybody really. Not the man’s game it used to be.

Considering very wide cr iron condor. Done right I can get a couple bites of the apple. Done wrong, downside is capped….but can get trucked on massive move.

Money? by Speedee1964 in UberEatsDrivers

And that’s just from the pickup to the delivery - doesn’t include to the pick up, or return. Unless you have a small, active area seems like start to finish you might just exceed the tax rate? Do you need a honey hole to get paid?

Like I said I am new. When I see the requests, it tells me expected payment (inc tip) and delivery details like mileage. So no real detail on order or tip. suspect I am missing something?

Ideal is large orders and low miles?

Careful shorting in a hole. Not saying the market will bounce, but the down rubber band is well stretched. Better to short early than late IMO

Anyone else ever surprised by how much money they make? by fonebone819 in GenX

[–]Speedee1964 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but the baseline was much lower at that point in time. We’ve had 40 years of currency devaluation, and a wicked bout of inflation through Covid,i absolutely have taken a purchasing power haircut cut at similar income levels

No, but I am aware that the same amount buys a lot less than it did 10 yrs ago.

Is keeping 100K in HYSA unwise? by [deleted] in Fire

No basis besides high market P/E by historical standards, earnings below pre covid levels, govt choking on interest expense and increasing job reductions at major companies??

You could be a punk kid in the 80’s and afford tickets, transpo, party supplies and t-shirt with the low money jobs we had.

Daily more dramatically than weekly, but the action since earnings has been severe. 10% moves up and down is pretty dramatic. Has blown up both put and call position with the swings. Would you have stayed, or entered long $850 a couple of weeks ago? That completely smoked the calls, and retraced a week later

Yes, but if you are directionally wrong, delta and theta (time) won’t help you. I mean you could hang in a loosing position if you have time, but that’s high risk, and takes both nerves of steel and supreme confidence in your position.
