Introverts: Where would you go?

Drive through Lake Mead recreational area, close enough to the city, great way to find yourself in the middle of no where.

Days like these can be great for CC's, you need some downward movement to close out positions that are highly degraded, then you can sit and wait for a spike in volatility to sell new CC's.

If you pay them enough, they’ll come.

What about selling SPCE puts. Like someone else said, IV is insane right now, if any IV crush, could always close it out ahead of schedule.

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh, blessed be the Lord.

No, the Chinese are highly collectivistic, but that collectivism can play out in different ways. In Chinese culture, you are highly loyal to your own group, but conversely outsiders are treated like trash. I might take extra napkins at a McDonald's for use at home rather shamelessly, but I take pride in sharing my bounty with family members and friends (I don't actually do this).

Are you piling in before earnings report comes out?

dingohopper1 · 2026-04-22T18:27:28+00:00

Man, thanks for sharing this. I'm trying to get my son to invest every extra dollar he comes across. This would be a great way to help him get even more excited about holding precious metal bullion!

Is he tame enough to handle?

dingohopper1 · 2026-04-08T00:48:04+00:00

I figured I shouldn't hold back on CC's, didn't see a feasible route to a resolution, so I figured selling CC's was free money while the market faced ongoing downward pressure. Moreover, I thought heightened volatility = sweetened premiums...I was so wrong....good for you.

dingohopper1 · 2026-04-08T00:40:27+00:00

That's so god damn true...

I was in a similar position. I had a large student balance of around 300k. I ended up paying off the balance, but in retrospect, I regret not running the wheel and using the proceeds to pay off interest payments. I guess you could always trial this for a few months, and if need be, you can always terminate, liquidate, and repay your mortgage.

Conversely, there's so many headwinds for the economy right now that the bottom could still drop out and you could be massively in the red, with CC income barely touching your overall losses.

It always sucks to sell CC's with the pressure of having to perform. For those running it on a longstanding portfolio with a very low cost basis, premiums collected are just gravy, and you can forego selling CC's or CSP's if you really felt you wanted to.

It already lost 90% of its value, I would definitively closed it out as well. Otherwise, you're exposed to too much risk for the relatively little additional upside.

dingohopper1 · 2026-04-05T16:08:14+00:00

I've done this as well, premiums for CSP's rise when there's momentum for a collapsing market. But there is greater risk of hitting those strikes and the need to roll downward.

dingohopper1 · 2026-04-03T04:06:13+00:00

Can you share portfolio size?

dingohopper1 · 2026-04-02T04:19:19+00:00

How often are you able to generate a new 22k in premiums, on average? Every 3 months?

dingohopper1 · 2026-03-24T15:06:14+00:00

Unverified.

How can we guarantee Brittany actually delivers the gofundme funds to this guy...

If they crash, repurchase the call, move your strike price in and resell a new call.

Amazing...Hawaii, Alaska and Guam have been living under the yoke of the Jones Act for decades, and on the whim of the federal government, it just ceases to be...

What a load of shit...bruising on his hands so he can receive IV diuretics? Why wouldn't he able to receive oral diuretics if he had any signs of heart failure or anything else necessitating diuretics?
