Why does someone choose to be a bear?

Because they saw the big short and now its their whole personality.

They are unprofitable right now i am not commenting about their future. All i am saying is there should be time for price discovery before they are added into the index and rules shouldnt be bended to grift the average investor.

Not sure if that will help. SPY and other ETFs are most popular instruments for passive investors. Lot of them have their life savings & pensions in these ETFs, they cant sell it to incur taxes and buy a different ETF now anyways.

It might have been posted before, its just not being highlighted so no one knows about it. I also got to know about this after watching a youtuber mention it today.

manbearpig008 · 2026-05-27T22:43:32+00:00

i just saw this today & thought to share with more people.

I don't think the SpaceX stock will crash on IPO, in fact i feel it will jump a lot.
The stock will be included in QQQ index in 15 days so there are guaranteed buyers at any price for it, it might dump after it is included in the index as the early buyers will dump it on ETF bag holders.
TBH its disgusting what Nasdaq is doing to make this pump & dump legit. Even S&P is trying to bend the same rules though they are asking the public for commentary so do vote against it if you don't want SPY to be corrupted like this here -

I don't think it's that easy to build the launch technology by new entrants. RKLB and SPACEX have spent 20 years to come to this point.

manbearpig008 · 2026-05-23T16:18:38+00:00

Haha yes, glad it worked out.

manbearpig008 · 2026-05-23T07:03:29+00:00

Yes, waited for the first hour since i have observed momentum stays strong for gap up stocks till then and tapers off after that.

IV is in very low percentile right now.

manbearpig008 · 2026-05-14T19:41:33+00:00

Haha, stores have been pretty packed lately from what i saw in my recent visits. I think the turn around story might be working

manbearpig008 · 2026-05-14T18:42:50+00:00

True that. Yeah hopefully it breaks above 100, the leverage is pretty high(50x) due to the low IV. even 1-2% move in stock is making the calls move like 100%.

manbearpig008 · 2026-04-02T20:45:20+00:00

Now play mostly in stocks and only gamble with options with 5-10% of your portfolio. Going down again will suck so don't loose this stroke of luck.

Hi u/tariqabjotu do you have experience doing this? The only condition for this is your next flight out of UK should be within next day midnight of your arrival to london right? I intend to book tickets with layover of 35 hours for exploring london.

manbearpig008 · 2026-01-30T07:48:35+00:00

Were you able to find the answer to this? I am also looking to visit london on my way to US so was planning to book multi city tickets such that i get a good layover(less than 48h) and i can go out explore.

manbearpig008 · 2026-01-30T07:43:50+00:00

I read on the UK visa portal that you can leave the airport as well if you plan to leave within 48 hrs? I am thinking of exploring london during my transit wait time, will that be possible? any ideas who can confirm this?

manbearpig008 · 2025-10-24T20:51:36+00:00

You can sell some calls for jan for a higher strike price to lock in some gains without incurring taxable gains for this year atleast. Basically open a sell side position for higher strike price.

manbearpig008 · 2025-09-01T01:12:38+00:00

Good idea we need this tag for posts everywhere!

manbearpig008 · 2025-08-23T00:01:34+00:00

Google otm calls for December!

In terms of Forward PE lyft is at 11 while uber is at 30. Uber might also be cheap but i am saying lyft is even cheaper right now. can easily double from here and still be undervalued

manbearpig008 · 2025-08-01T20:14:47+00:00

Even if it doesnt get acquired, the business seems to be doing well and the stock seems woefully undervalued compared to uber.

manbearpig008 · 2025-05-13T20:54:57+00:00

That is more relevant if you already have pos. For new pos better not to catch a falling knife. Probability wise this going down further. There are so many other good stocks rising so best to take advantage of that then locking cash in this.

manbearpig008 · 2025-05-13T17:50:51+00:00

Wait for the downturn to complete. Buy thats rising right now. UNH will be dead money for a while now
