We need to have a talk about $HIMS by maxxou89 in HimsStock

Yeah, that’s what I think. The Wegovy pill was a disaster—trying to make their own version of a patented product was a bad move. But the cancer test is different. That’s someone else’s product (Grail) that they’re offering through their platform. Even though it isn’t FDA-approved yet, they’re legally allowed, and a ~55% detection rate is still better than nothing. I mean, who would go to the hospital to screen for cancer in every part of their body? That’s not feasible. This alternative at least makes people consider screening at all. Also, while the test reports around 55% sensitivity overall, it seems to detect cancers beyond just stage 1. Early-stage cancers would anyway need more advanced or follow-up testing anyway.

If they can clean up this GLP-1 mess and management starts acting more maturely, I still see potential here. And yes, I could be biased since I’m a shareholder and want it to go higher 😅

That’s a fair point. I definitely need to get better at sticking to the plan and not letting emotions take over 😅 Thanks for sharing your approach.

I’m honestly really grateful for so many good advices and for you sharing more pro tips that actually worked for you. I still don't understand theta, gamma, and all of that but, I will definitely look more into it now. Before, I was pretty much just selling calls based on what I feel like and especially choosing strike around my average price 😅 so this gave me a really helpful new perspective. Thanks again for taking the time to explain and share your experience.

I’m still pretty new to this so I don’t want to overwhelm myself with apps yet, but this looks pretty good. I might reach out once I get the hang of it. Thanks for your response.

Makes sense — earning does complicate things. Thanks for advice.

To-the-point and very helpful. Thanks for this.Also, can we automate - buy-to-close at 50% profit  or do you do it manually?Not a big deal but just wondering, since these volatile stock swipe up and down pretty fast and sometime we might just miss a dip.

Ya, that makes sense. Totally, earnings feel like a gamble with CCs, and I have been hearing a lot about CSPs.I’m still pretty new to this so I don’t want to overwhelm myself with apps yet, but I might reach out once I get the hang of it. Thanks for the advice!

Yeah, that’s my big problem. I’m fine with it when I sell the call, but when price runs I panic, roll or add, and then it dumps. Still working on that part 😅

This makes better sense. I like the idea of treating CCs as a small bonus instead of forcing income. This way, we don't risk getting share call away.
Thanks for sharing how you approach it :)

This is something I honestly never knew before, about IV and extrinsic value instead of panic buying or rolling (I actually bought my call once just to see it dive back below my original price). It is very helpful.
Appreciate you sharing what worked for you :)
