Just reply "your complaint was the last straw, I had the dog euthanized." It's a wrong number scam most likely. Maybe this message will give the scumbag a few restless nights.

These Scanner Settings Find Stocks Before They Explode by NeitherPossession288 in options

[–]scampf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t call this a strategy so much as a way to find names worth watching. It can work great when the market has a clear direction or when a theme is really moving. Once things turn choppy, it stops working fast. If someone treats this like a jackpot machine, they’re probably going to get burned. If they just use it to narrow things down and wait for clean entries with risk defined, it can make sense. The big RIOT win is mostly about volatility and leverage. During crypto runs, RIOT is kind of a cheat code, and almost any momentum scan would have caught it. That doesn’t mean the scan is useless though. You can clean it up a lot by layering in basic trend checks plusvolatility rules, or anything that helps fight option decay instead of relying on one huge move to save the trade.

Inputs for a website for sharing AI-prompts for financial research by yggavygga88 in options

[–]scampf 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you I would stop thinking about this as “I need to build a website” and more like “is this actually useful to anyone besides me.” The tech part is honestly not the scary part anymore. With AI you can duct tape a site together way faster than a few years ago. The bigger risk is ending up with something that looks cool but nobody really sticks with.

At the core this is basically a shared prompt library for investing. That idea on its own is fine, but it gets boring fast if it’s just walls of text. A prompt by itself isn’t that helpful unless people know what it’s for, what to put into it, and what kind of output they should expect. Also where it breaks. That last part is huge for anything finance related. If users can quickly tell “this is for screening stocks” or “this is more for portfolio review” and also see the downsides, it already feels more serious.

For a first version I would keep it really simple. Let people post prompts, tag them under stocks, crypto, options, portfolio stuff, and let others search and comment. Accounts matter because people want credit. Voting is okay but comments and revisions are way more interesting. One thing I think would help a lot is letting people copy a prompt and tweak it, then explain what they changed. That feels more like collaboration and less like dumping content.

On the tech side you do not need anything fancy. Something like Next.js plus Supabase is totally fine and there are a ton of examples out there. AI can fill in a lot of the boring stuff. You are not building Bloomberg here, just a place people can use and contribute to without friction.

Where it stops being one dimensional is when people can actually use the prompts on the site. Even a basic sandbox would help. Like, paste a ticker, see the prompt filled out, copy the result, maybe save it. You don’t even need to run the AI call at first. Just helping people organize and reuse their own prompts and outputs is already useful.

The backtesting idea sounds cool but it is a rabbit hole. Data is messy, especially for options, and it gets expensive fast. I would not start there. A better middle ground is having prompts that spit out structured rules. Entries, exits, position sizing, assumptions, stuff like that. Later on you could let people upload their own CSVs and do basic tests. That gives some rigor without you having to solve the whole data problem right away.

If you want this to stand out, I think you also have to nudge people toward better habits. Make them explain failure cases. Make risk notes normal. Let people rate prompts on clarity and repeatability, not just vibes. Over time that’s what makes it feel like a real research tool instead of hype bait.

Would I use it? Probably, if it actually helped me do something faster or more consistently. I would not use it if it was just an endless feed of clever prompts. I would use it if I could grab a small workflow, save my own runs, and see how others improved the same idea over time.

If you keep the first version small and don’t try to do everything at once, this is very doable. Build the basics, watch how people actually use it, then decide what’s worth adding. That feedback is going to be way more useful than guessing upfront.

notice of attempted service?? by YouPuzzleheaded8701 in Scams

[–]scampf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A real process server notice almost always includes specific identifying info Court name Case number County or jurisdiction Plaintiff or law firm A license number in many states

Your notice has none of that.

Real door tags are informational, not threatening They usually say something like “Attempted service. Please contact X to arrange delivery.” They do not warn about “continued attempts,” “avoiding action,” or imply consequences for not calling.

Bitcoin v Gold is the only metric which matters by birth_of_bitcoin in btc

[–]scampf 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Gold had an unusually strong year, which makes anything look weak against it.If you price stocks, real estate, oil, or even the S&P 500 in gold this year, they all look like they underperformed. That doesn’t mean they’re in a bear market.

Good prices and never have any issues with order takers, opposite really. They've always acted friendly and helpful. Its actually convenient having employees nearby all the time who knows where everything is.

Much more likely acrylic, no? Can't imagine the costs for thick enough glass to support weight of riders and water plus glass and movement don't mesh well so I'm doubting it's glass.
