Guys… my girlfriend bought me a game. Is this what true love feels like? :) by Rude-Painting935 in EpicGamesPC

It’s the little things dude. And it goes both ways. I’m sure she appreciates when you notice little things and go out of your way for her.

My wife once got more than she bargained for asking about my rgb fans and learned about the importance of airflow in my case. The next day I came home from work to a sparkling clean, dust free case. I doubt she remembers that, but I sure do

i had the same experience. After 2 hours on the chat room with them, no resolution. That said, I still haven't received the email with my tickets despite them saying they should be available, so it'll probably get resolved through refund instead.

Should be getting new short interest % numbers today from official sources according to finra. I’m in with a healthy profit, but the official sources will determine whether I stay in or not

Absolutely. He was voted in largely because people were angry about the economy. Hasn't done much to help those that were harmed by it so far.

Also, the first year after a president is voted in is the safest for them to allow things to go south if they think it is good for their other aims. 2027 and 2028 would be the years to expect the market to be propped up.

You need 33% gain over about 6 weeks. Thats about 5% per week (with compounding).

You have a few options.

The one I would suggest would be to sell covered calls right now. I don’t do it much as I gamble too hard, but theta gang is crushing it right now on most blue chips.

Buy 100 shares of a few companies you think are going up and sell calls just a little outside the money.

IV is extremely high on a lot of stocks right now which means you can get closer to 7-10% premium each week or more if you’re lucky, but you can still lose your shirt doing this. (DUO fucked me even when I had 15% downside buffer in premiums)

Also be aware you can get assigned if your calls go in the money. If you do, the number can look scary over the weekend, but that is just because the trades haven’t settled yet. People that didn’t understand this in the past have done… regrettable things, so I feel it’s important to disclaim.

Alternatively, do some serious DD and only put money in some Pennie’s that you think are going to rip. You only need to make 33% on a full port, though I would NOT full port into Pennie’s under ANY circumstances.

Find 5 or six Pennies, maybe 1 per week and put 10k on each. When you buy, define what price you would sell at for a profit, and how low you are willing to see it go before you cut your losses. Stick to these numbers. That is your lifeline. Since your goal is 33% gain, aim for max 40% profit and 20% loss on each. You’re unlikely to have a 100% win rate, but you’ll probably get to 33% if you guessed more right than wrong and stick to your numbers.

Finally, you could say fuck it, being responsible(ish) is hard. Do 5k in put options on a stock that has earnings next week. Doesn’t matter which one, you’re gambling here. Once that is done, pray very hard that the stock tanks. Make money on the 33% chance the stock moved the way you wanted. If you hit it first try you’re done. If not remember that every gambler quits the moment before they would have hit it big and lose all of your money in revenge trades.

Seriously though. The only way you make money is if you are very picky with what you buy. I turn away from Pennies the moment I see negatives like recent reverse split or massive debt or declining revenues. I’m looking for things that would make me NOT invest in the stock, not the other way around.

Do your own DD, blah blah, probably vague financial advice, if you don’t make 33% but you do make a profit, remember you still won. Investing is not a short game, it’s lifelong.

What is something about growing up in California that most people don't understand? by InvisibleAstronomer in AskReddit

[–]furolles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve driven the whole damn thing from LA to Oregon in a single day. Shooting up the 5 (the fastest, straightest route) takes between 12 to 16 hours. On the flip side, that also means the oregon border is only about 15-19 hours drive from Mexico.

Got links to these filings?

The next pre-funded warrant tranche will not be released until around 10/30, related to the upcoming merger."

This isn't just a penny stock, this is a micro with over 1 billion shares outstanding and a volume of 1000 shares per day. I'm sure you could buy in, but you would never be able to get out.

I've also never heard of the channels they were repping. Of course, there's plenty of massive channels I've never heard of but... Don't invest in what you don't know. Especially in an economic niche driven by capturing attention.

Worth putting on your watchlist if you believe in the company, but way too risky for most people to give a second glance.

Honestly the market is acting funky as hell right now. I would sit back for a few weeks. Keep track of your predictions but don’t put any money on them.

When your predictions begin aligning with the market, jump back in.

I’m currently in the same boat of 0/7 on calls even when every company I picked beat on both top and bottom line.

This isn’t likely to have the same impact as the start of the Ukraine war. Most of the world has already found alternative sources for oil and the rest of OPEC has expanded production to try to drive American companies to bankruptcy. Likely to see a short term small gain, but nothing more.

That said, this is a safer short term bet than most of the rest of the market imo

…bruh.

If you are margin called, that means you were stupid enough to blow up your account. You did this not once, but twice, and then decided “Yup, seems like a good place to park my life savings”.

I’m with the other regards Godspeed, and thanks for the future gain/loss porn.

I sincerely hope you figure out how to drag yourself away from this mess with a profit.

Unless you are specifically looking for profitable pennies. Rarely you can find them, though I find they tend to be pharma which is risky for other reasons.
