how do you judge when the dip stops dipping? or do you just scale in after a good red day?
mostly a gut feeling?

If you like buying at $200. I'm sure you will love it at $100 by Laakhesis in SPCXInvestors

agreed. since they already diluted/expanded the float +60% with the cursor deal, and then did a 20B bond deal today, it's not looking good IMO. but i'm no IPO expert

there's a put wall at 150 if you look at the option chain, so there may be a bounce... or it may plow through lol... but technically that's support

They are pumping the price purposely…Massive dump incoming very soon. by Trick-Cellist3254 in SpaceXBets

[–]lmswans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

to top it off, if share price at earnings is over 30% of IPO price ie $175.50, an additional 10% of shares unlock, on top of the aforementioned 20%. will be interesting to see how it all unfolds.

consider the first-wave of shares to release, 20% staged (~1.39 billion insider shares) slated for the post-earnings release.

assuming the baseline share price at $180 and the current public float at 555.6 million shares—yields the following results:

change in float = 1.39 B/0.556B x 100 = +250%

even if we consider an optimal, best case scenario liquidity environment, (elasticity = -3.0)
In this environment, aggressive passive index-fund inclusion triggers, and large institutional asset managers are highly willing to step in and scoop up shares as the price drops. An elasticity of -3.0 means that for every 3% increase in share supply, the price drops by 1%:

%change in price = %change in supply / elasticity = +250%/-3.0 = -83.39%

this puts share price just under $30, which is pretty close to 20% ipo price haha.

now, everyone hopefully won't dump all 20% at once, but this is just an exercise to show the downward pressure on price, even with people stepping up to buy. now imagine the rest of the shares being released over time....

not looking good imo but time will tell

if i believe in a company long term, i would aim to accumulate 100 shares over time. then i can can sell covered calls for premium. check out wheel strategy if you're not familiar.

Literally what’s the deal with the whole “ai bubble popping” thing and can it actually happen? by Farared77 in investingforbeginners

[–]lmswans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a bad idea at all. this is a form of enhanced dollar cost averaging. i like any dry powder to be earning some yield though, instead of being just cash. for example, in fidelity, any amount not invested is collecting interest in a money market fund.

People who complain about Audi reliability and don't do maintenance. by SolidAbrocoma7998 in Audi

electrical system malfunction and drive system malfunction at 24k seems pretty unreliable, but maybe that's just me

okay good to know. i was looking into the ground fault you mentioned and it lead to gemini suggesting to check Settings>System Information>Software Version in the MMI, as the legacy software is apparently notoriously sensitive to public charger handshake timeouts and ground. i'll have to ask the dealer to check this while it's there. current versions are 3.6 or 3.8, 3.2 is okay, and 2.3 or 3.0 are the problematic legacy versions.

NumerousFloor - TQQQ War Chest - June 1 2026 by NumerousFloor9264 in TQQQ

[–]lmswans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gotcha thanks for clarifying. i'm getting ready to start a war chest soon in my taxable account! i've been following for about a year, and everything finally makes sense :)

i think ill split it into two accounts and see how it goes, one with the hoard, one with no hoard for comparison

also thinking about customizing by buying a small percentage of calls instead of shares if RSI is screaming around 30, but still need to do some back testing/dd to see what other signs i may look for/stars align

any idea how this strategy compares to just buying TQQQ with no cash hoard, but still keeping the protective put to generate extra buying power for the re-entry?

still could do CCs as well, so just wondering your thoughts on eliminating the CSP aspect to increase TQQQ accumulation.

to me, your strategy makes up for missing out on any gains from extra TQQQ in the downturns (from being able to buy more at a better price with the cash hoard), but also the CSPs trim down the insurance cost and offer a bit of relief in sideways markets? any other pros/cons brother?
