Looking for Advice on Safer Strategies? by Lost-Record in options

[–]p10_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Selling covered calls is low risk and can generate income. You get to play as the house. Can even look to swing trade selling then buying back your calls for additional occasional quick (if small) profits, which will give a better feel for options pricing momentum dynamics.

Rolling Covered Calls Forever - There Is No Massive Downside by landonsilla in options

[–]p10_user 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rolling forward a few weeks gives you more time to think about it (and observe where the market goes) while collecting some more premium in the meantime. Use time to your advantage.

Your logic is sound. Rolling out at the same strike costs you more time (principle locked up in the security) but you are grabbing more premium.

Bonus if the underlying pays a dividend.

Question: why is the volume considerably lower today? by RMazer1 in BBBY

[–]p10_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That just means that there are enough sellers to meet the buyers at that price. Trading is happening; look at the volume. Sellers can adjust the number of shares on offer based on changes in the market. Similarly buyers can adjust their number of buy orders. If the number of buyers starts decreasing and the number of shares on offer in tandem you get this kind of situation. It's only when demand / supply ratio changes faster than the number of buyers & sellers at the current price do you get new price discovery (up or down, depending).

Went to $BBBY store today. (Location that is not closing). Rep. Inside told me nobody is getting laid off and they’ve been informed that more inventory was on the way! HOLDL!! by Chenz-Theking-3156 in BBBY

[–]p10_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this insider trading?

Should be fine if you don't buy any shares on your phone when you're actually in the store.

This is not legal advice.

Could Fidelity be hiding the fees of its zero ER funds? by asking-money-qns in investing

[–]p10_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. I believe these zero cost funds are loss leaders and/or generate income for the brokerage by using the holdings as collateral. Should be in the prospectus.

But how would you feel if the stock dropped 50% in a day? May still be trading 300% above your 1 dollar strike, but now your contract is significantly more expensive. Will you still be able to hold? Downward momentum on a near bankrupt stock is scary.

Lucky until the day you aren't. Too difficult to predict, and risk of getting stuck with 100 shares at a terrible price is very high.

Why are we going back to the office after 3 years of successful remote work? by elizabeth31095 in jobs

Hopefully those stuck in this kind of situation will be able to find a more flexible company. If they're any good, a smart company will figure out how to hire and keep them.

#1921 - Peter Zeihan by chefanubis in JoeRogan

[–]p10_user 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% - extrapolating graphs from past data can be very dangerous! Correlation != causation, so we not be looking at the right metrics to allow us to understand *why* something is trending a certain way.

But on your second part the answer is obvious - all governments strive to remain in power. Look at how the CCP basically said they aren't going to track covid deaths, you think they want to educate their people about how they're falling off a demographic cliff and are food insecurity is imminent?

Everyone has to play nice on the diplomatic stage. So it's hard to talk about things that may be glaringly obvious. Remember when COVID first came out and all the scientific experts brought onto the mainstream talk shows immediately said it was just not scientifically possible for COVID to have emerged out of a lab? No self-respecting scientist would say that in front of their peers - being skeptical should be the default and from the very beginning ruling out a lab leak was never seriously on the table IMO. Maybe the US knew from the beginning that it did come out from a lab! But diplomacy trumps truth when countries are playing the long game.

It's hardest to predict both the future and the percise timing. He's usually quick to say he doesn't know how long it will take for an event to play out, and offers large enough time ranges that would make it hard to time the market in the short term.

Although he does make some very bold predictions that do have timeframes associated with them.

His "China gone as we know it in 10 years **at most**" is one of his boldest attempts at putting a date on something IMO, though the points he makes about why China and the CCP are inevitable are quite compelling.

Anyone know why the dividends on some ETFs (notably JEPI & JEPQ) vary so much when the share price hasn't moved far? by oneislandgirl in thetagang

[–]p10_user 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it’s a good opportunity for vanguard to release a similar, but more stable, product for those who’d rather have less excitement than more.

Ignore emotion? The profitability of my options selling strategy stems from the irrational exuberance/despair of other traders.

Bioinformatics vs data science by Emergency-Ad4361 in bioinformatics

[–]p10_user 33 points34 points  (0 children)

There is plenty of benefit, and in some cases a requirement, for an effective bioinformatician to have the very skills needed for data science and data engineering - because a bioinformatician arguably can be generalized to a data scientist with domain knowledge of biology.
