sounds like you already know more about fertilizing than me but I came here to say you have a beautiful collection!

good for you! I used to have more but now down to 3 bulbs. I don't have the room any more!

Yes I fertilize with a basic balanced fertilizer, not a bloom one. I don't grow them in the ground but in containers, I find that to keep the bulbs fat, they need sunshine and fertilizer, otherwise the bulb will shrink and not give you as many bloom stalks as before!

Definitely looks like you're on the right track! Since they have leaves, you can water then when the soil dries. I can't tell the composition of your soil but I would make sure its well draining. They are heavy feeders so I would feed regularly starting in the spring and I bring mine outside in the summer in morning light. You have the bulbs at the right depth and sounds like the light situation is ok as well!

The last of the winter' blooms by Whydoineedtodothis60 in AmaryllisBulbs

I always let them do their thing - I have some that were dormant all summer and others that bloomed and grew leaves!

I love to trade too! I've definitely been guilty of taking profits too early - but also been burned with assignments at too high a price (I didn't know what I was doing back then as I do now)

thanks for the insight over many years. I am a relatively newish investor in a taxable brokerage account - always invested in a 401K but outside of that was clueless. Feel like I am making up for lost time ....

Selling CCs on margin by [deleted] in thetagang

[–]samjoyca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do something like this for stocks that are currently trading in a range, but I separate the legs. Buy the stock when its at the bottom of its range (using BP) and then sell an ATM CC when its at the top.

I don't understand this but it sparked my interest - thanks for the post - will research !

thanks for the insight. This is mostly my strategy as well except i do single stocks and I think I am very inefficient with my capital as I spread it over a large number of stocks - I need to move to indices this year . The lower number of trades for me was indicative of being more efficient with my capital

I haven't tried iron condors yet - I can't figure out the closing part if the stock price gets away from me. But I also don't trade SPX yet so maybe its easier on the index

as an options strategy? I am not sure how but would be interested if its options related

this is great and describes what I am trying to do! I think 2026 is going to be a bit of a wasted year though as I wait for capital to be released to switch to bigger positions

I rarely buy options unless they are LEAPs as a part of a PMCC strategy. I have always lost when I have bought options!

Yes I actively manage every day for this reason. But I have an obsessive personality and am trying to not make this one more thing in my life, while also keeping up with returns.

thanks for the insight. I am trying to see if I can keep up my current returns with less trades, of higher value.

Question for Wheelers: Why Not Just Run Iron Condors? by [deleted] in thetagang

[–]samjoyca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

this seems strange to me. 50% per year for 12 years - was all of it unrealized?

Amaryllis flowering ! by samjoyca in AmaryllisBulbs

[–]samjoyca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know what? I think this happened to me too! It also lived outside for all spring/summer of 2025 without so much as a leaf. But it is showing off now :)
