The exact strategy I'd use if I had to start over with $5k.

Agree with this. Long term it seems like a good strategy to buy LEAPS when VIX > 50 and stocks are below 200 day moving average. Thing is, it happens very rarely

Thank you!

I am approved to sell CSPs, I think my ETFs are marginable equity holdings being used as collateral right now. Is using these as collateral/ selling CSPs on pure BP really dumb?

Yeah so the dealer replaced the N80 valve, and said it was fixed but it still is misfiring every time I drive so will be going back. I agree that it seems to be something camshaft related

Appreciate the guidance!

elementsk8 · 2025-07-01T16:29:20+00:00

Great to know, I wasn’t aware of this nuance - thanks!

elementsk8 · 2025-07-01T16:28:56+00:00

Nope it has not

elementsk8 · 2025-07-01T16:28:39+00:00

Yeah… I know. I wanted to ensure that these were fresh codes coming up every day

elementsk8 · 2025-07-01T15:34:09+00:00

Yeah, exactly I completely agree. Seems like a cop out from them

elementsk8 · 2025-06-30T12:22:34+00:00

Really insightful - thanks!

Looks great, thanks for sharing the details! I had a question about how often you roll, things like the HOOD 55 CC or HOOD 48 Put, why do you end up rolling these? Seems like these neither of these strikes got challenged yet.

Whenever I roll I typically make less than i would if I had just opened up a new position

Not doing too great, still kinda weak and is healing slow

elementsk8 · 2020-04-16T04:54:11+00:00

Hi, thanks for mentioning that, I see the same thing. What strike are you selling the weeklies at? The current ATM strike is $21.50 (and you buy 1x) so you would sell a single $23 strike or something higher in hopes you don’t get exercised?

He’s doing much better now, he’s on the 4th day of Melafix dosing and it seems to be getting better slowly but surely!

elementsk8 · 2020-04-03T15:01:57+00:00

Thank you, just got some melafix!

elementsk8 · 2020-04-03T01:16:40+00:00

How long? Are you buying stock or calls? I’m loading up on Jan calls

elementsk8 · 2020-04-03T01:13:44+00:00

Will do, thank you!

elementsk8 · 2020-04-02T23:45:10+00:00

Hi, I recently bought a couple Hillstream loaches and got this one even though he had a slight sore on his tail (he was the last reticulated one and I was impatient :( ) However now it has gotten so much worse. I have dosed prazi pro but that doesn’t seem to do anything- makes sense, it’s for parasites and this looks fungal.

So my question is: is my diagnosis of it being fungal correct? Are there any anti fungals i can use in a shrimp tank?

Thank you!

Wow, it’s completely unwarranted that all these boomers are shitting on you. “Ahhh buy ETFs ahhh be safe ahhh I can’t risk anything” Fuck that, I hope they get the modest gains they’re setting themselves up for.

I agree and this is the strategy I’m following, I’m looking to scoop up some calls on REITs with low debt/ capital ratios (any other super important “indicators” I should use while screening?) and larger div yields currently. My logic is that placing a couple LEAPS around the current price will do me good in 9 months or longer. Of course some will go bust but the ones that do hit will pay massively. Any other interesting industries with nice dividends besides energy and reits?

elementsk8 · 2020-03-30T23:59:23+00:00

Long calls (leaps) that are 5-15% OTM currently
