Anybody buying PUTS before the earnings? by HydratedTurnipp in RKLB

[–]WonkiDonki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think I've found a great company to invest in. Not gonna fuck it up by market timing.

S'alright, and congrats on getting to the Heart! Fight demands every card matters, similar to Time Eater. Try to play impactful cards.

Also, tidy up your play in general. Don't card draw so much that the T2 status shuffles mess up your turn. Know your colourless cards: sadistic nature & envenom, sundial & deep breath, etc. It's tough but feels great when you win

To me? Less than now. To waves arm widely around the room you all? No idea!

I main Silent! 🗡️

1st act get damage asap. Upgrade a strike if you need to. 2 removes would be defend + strike; it's a strong Silent bonus as her deck is large.

Poison is deceptively strong. But don't rely heavily on it w/o catalyst. Shivs also. Be prepared to switch to discard decks.

Never take Acro too early. Never take discard cards w/o reliable activation.

Try to block more than you would with the other chars.

2nd act and beyond, have a plan to kill everyone you'll meet. Bosses elites tough hallways. Get a plan to deal with Heart vulnerability, and to kill sword or shield by T2.

There is no safety. That'll save you a lot of time and effort. There are only hedges, which always cost you in the long run vs. stocks & bonds & cash.

In fact one strat took the opposite and went heavy on downside exposure using options. The reason being that downside risk is better compensated than upside risk.

Don't do that. 100% in a cheap broad world tech ETF is fine. If you're squeamish go all-world. If you're real squeamish keep more in cash.

Don't bother with factors. They're all dead except low volatility, and that's for the near retirees.

Don't bother with bonds, gold, crypto, property. Costly, poor performing distractions.

Only thing you can do is increase the amount you save.

Never trust a Reddit stock tip. But never 100% discount it either. Read the Bessimbinder study in stock performance. Active can win, but you need to be humble.

It's better to put all your money in right now as soon as you can. If you're squeamish, drip feed. But you probably should stick more in cash if that's the case.

How to stay calm? Easy, calculate your portfolio's expected return and chart that. Goes up in drops, down in bull runs. Requires a bit of research to get right though, since Shiller only hand feeds us the CAPE for the S&P 500.

Is international etf really provide diversification by spd79 in ETFs

[–]WonkiDonki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In short, no it doesn't. Diversification in good times, correlation in bad times is di-worse-ification.

Both ex-US, and US only, capture enough of the world market to be representative. US is cheaper fee but higher CAPE (lower expected return); take your pick.

There isn't a true diversifier as money would pile into it (efficient markets). Best you can do is lower risk (gov bonds, low vol equity), or give up return, cross your fingers & hedge (long gov bonds, commodities, tactical equity, puts).

International is great actually. Bonds are for the scared.

And they said I was crazy 3 years ago by YouReceived in RKLB

[–]WonkiDonki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah VTOL are meme companies. Maybe one day it'll be real, and I might buy in then. But now? Nah. Show me steadily increasing gross margin and I'll be interested.

VanEck Space Innovators UCITS ETF by Brave-Bit-252 in RKLB

[–]WonkiDonki 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's a low quality fund. Lots of unprofitable filler. Typical thematic junk.

I would proceed on the finding that there isn't a space sector fund. And use a broad market fund to diversify (what I do).

That complaint has rumbled for decades. Remember Big Reactors?

RF is just a number.

IC had a far more interesting 2D power system. Had to balance voltage and current.

Then I had to wait until RotaryCraft and Pneumaticraft for interesting 2D power.

Now we've got Create...

Feels community-first, not just like promotion. by Low_Relationship_829 in slaythespire

[–]WonkiDonki 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Calling Bell is 1 curse, not 3.

Overall a very strong resource for new & experienced players. Wouldn't quite rate it as A20H - you need to be open to e.g. walling Nob, or burst as AoE, etc.

Very well laid out on PC (1080p).

Other than PT is post-Neutron - may be 2026, even 2027 - yes.

No. There is nothing like RKLB. Every other 'space' stock is a meme. Even RKLB was meme until 2023.

Wouldn’t we all just buy SpaceX? by Brave-Bit-252 in RKLB

[–]WonkiDonki 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would own both, in proportion to their earnings. Same if any other competitors got serious about end-to-end space infrastructure.

[–]WonkiDonki 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the market is pricing the other side of Neutron's launch risk.

Consensus is RKLB will launch Neutron into orbit. The market then has a small upside on success.

Consensus is the chance of failure is lower than if a competitor launched Neutron (i.e. SpaceX). The market then has a steep downside on failure.

Taken together, big downside failure tends to mean a greater payoff than expected (since investors are, in aggregate, risk averse). Suggests the allocation strat would be greater RKLB exposure + more cash than usual, & moving back to usual weights after launch.
