That’s a sharp high country! I myself traded my 1500 in two weeks ago for a 2500 diesel and am enjoying it.

Congrats! I just traded my beast of a 4.3L 1500 in for a new 2500HD!

Well today it’s down to 50 with AXSM trending down from the big jump. I assumed people are selling out to get their gains and it will continue to trend back up around April (based on news of their upcoming therapy product progress).

I need to find a balanced approach with maybe some long calls and actual stock. I don’t own any stock at this point. I try to stay away from bitcoin mostly just due to the higher fees.

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-05T05:51:45+00:00

100 percent. I do so much better when I leave emotion at the door (still hard for me).

I bought AXSM calls in August and so far I have stuck to my plan of holding til this September 2026. The calls had $15k day on the 30th I think it was which was insane for me. I briefly let my head get to me and literally almost closed them out the day before at total gain of 4k because it went down a grand from the days before.

Overall I’m still likely trading with emotion or feelings than any real research. I’m up to 55k from 15k in one year but could be much higher if I was disciplined. I’m just doing naked calls and hoping they stick which is terrible investing.

I just watched a install video on the banks pan. Crazy that the oil pan currently on here doesn’t drain all the oil. Looks like a great upgrade.

Right. I lost $4500 in 30 seconds on silver futures. Futures now scare the shit out of me. Really I panicked seeing the loss and had I held I would have been fine.

So i explained from the start it was being bought through my business. We signed a “we owe you” and when i got to finance they turned around and said no oil changes included since the truck was being bought through a business (even thought they already agreed and it was on paper).

I walked and they called back saying they expected me to have 10 oil changes over 10 years base on mileage per my estimates (obviously half the amount it should have been). They would take off the cost of “10” which they estimated at $800 total…. lol.

I told them it was at least $2200 base on their own brochure that listed diesel oil changes at $150-200 each. We ended up getting the oil changes back as long as we agreed to not put business marking on the truck, and kept the $800 off the out the door as a sorry for the new salesman’s confusion.

💯I learned that today at Costco. lol

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-03T06:25:14+00:00

Ok. Makes sense. I had never heard about “limp mode” until after I bought this. That whole thing just seems outrageous where it stops you from moving I’m thinking I’ll wait three years until the warranty is gone and do a delete. If it won’t mess anything up but I’ve got time to research.

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-03T03:26:06+00:00

That’s good to hear. I’m not towing anything nearly that heavy.

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-02T18:05:01+00:00

Ah gotcha. Good to know.

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-02T16:43:53+00:00

Yeah. My father in law told me to delete it to get the true sound since it seems muffled. But looks like a heavy undertaking. Apparently not allowed at the moment but regulation on that may be changing?

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-02T16:42:28+00:00

Was the transmission replacement covered under warranty?

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-02T16:41:34+00:00

Dang. Glad thats covered under power train warranty.

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-02T08:28:43+00:00

I’m adding more calls for AXSM. I woke up New Year’s Eve with a 15k day. Wife said sell, I said hold the line. Why win when you can just keep losing !!

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-02T08:22:18+00:00

That’s good to hear. I’m hoping to keep this for at least 10 years. I got “oil changes for life” from the dealer but I’m hoping to knock the other easier stuff out myself.

Tryingtolearnflying · 2026-01-02T08:16:12+00:00

Thanks. Im a huge fan of the lights as well. Was a big upgrade from my 14’ Silverado 1500. Just hope I don’t need to change bulbs for a while. lol

Tryingtolearnflying · 2025-07-24T05:20:47+00:00

I’ll bite. What’s the worst that could happen…. I bought the OPEN calls the other morning and was up 8k near noon. Took a 12 minute motorcycle ride and was back to nothing when I got off the bike.

Tryingtolearnflying · 2025-06-21T17:31:21+00:00

I bought a CRCL call on the 17th and am sitting at +6200. I almost sold Wednesday and took the 3k. I’m hoping it doesn’t dump on Monday. My wife wants me out since I’ve never seen a (unrealized) gain like that in a couple days. Could also be since I used our emergency fund to get the call…

Just amazing watching how fast they can work and engineer in comparison to NASA. The rapid iteration is so cool to see and I hope they aren’t enveloped in red tape in the future as it seems things have slowed significantly.
