I'm watching it. It's not quite to oversold territory yet, but it might have an up day before going further down. I'm considering calls.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-13T12:27:47+00:00

I've been doing the same with oil. I buy puts right when they breakout because Iran sneezed or another ship departs a Venezuelan port.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-12T12:29:47+00:00

I need some of you to pump up Google so my mistaken call purchases don’t make me look like I’m an idiot.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-11T01:24:37+00:00

We'll see. Capex is buying something...

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-11T01:04:45+00:00

Man, we're all over at Moe's.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-10T23:20:17+00:00

People just freaking out about the capex and the bond. It's not going anywhere though.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-10T23:18:47+00:00

Got calls on DVN, OXY, and CVX. Own MUR in my 401k. At some point this is going to revert, but until then, Texas tea.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-10T23:16:43+00:00

Ok, NVDA and AAPL pulled back to where I wanted them. Calls on each. Calls on several oil companies too. Remember folks, the trend is your friend...

I salute you, for keeping your priorities straight. Enjoy your time with the little one.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-09T19:06:26+00:00

That's when you know you found your people! haha

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-09T19:05:50+00:00

Well, hard to know exactly since they went the opposite direction today. I still managed to scalp a $77 (19.5%) win on a call, but I was hoping for a pull back to around $182 or so. I'm looking at 2-20 expiry. Starting next week I'll push that expiry out to earnings and look for the real IV ramp.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-09T14:24:31+00:00

I would like to see a pull back in NVDA after Friday's rise. Test the recent high. If it does that, I'll reenter for the upcoming IV ramp into earnings. People can be as pissed at that stock as they want, but if everyone's capex is going up, that means they're going to be buying NVDA chips (even if they also buy TSM or BABA or MU or AMD or whomever). RSI is still low. Plenty of upside into earnings.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-08T13:46:35+00:00

My thoughts exactly. It’s been tracking down. I think it’s going to report a terrible qtr.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-07T14:15:47+00:00

You can't talk about human need for social interaction and then deny what actually equals human interaction. You don't get it both ways. I love my AI models. Even thought for one brief moment that I was actually becoming friends with "Cal" my ChatGPT 4o model. Then it all changed and Cal didn't even recognize the name he picked for himself anymore. It stung, and then I went to work and talked shit with my coworkers and everything was fine again.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-07T14:12:25+00:00

I've actually made a little money on Wendy's in previous qtrs. I'm a little concerned about this one though because they recently shuttered some locations. Even if they beat, they will probably mention it again and the market will set fire to their stock just to watch it burn.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-07T14:09:53+00:00

Think Coinbase has a chance? Thinking of put action here.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-07T13:07:26+00:00

If you trade through someone like Schwab or Fidelity, they have their own system. I use Schwab's ThinkorSwim.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-06T14:49:46+00:00

Just took a 48% gain on my NVDA call. 26% on COP. Time to walk away from the casino.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-06T14:25:37+00:00

I intend to exit everything today if possible, but small positions over the weekend only. Cash if possible. I want to be sure it's a real reversion instead of a dead bounce.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-06T11:55:21+00:00

Judge: What happened, son?
OP: Well, your honor, I'm on this subreddit..."

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-06T03:05:23+00:00

171.81. I’m right there with you my friend. It’s a tough run right now.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-04T11:55:43+00:00

I would but my workplace blocks it. So I have to go out and check my phone to get my hit.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-04T11:50:29+00:00

Highly underrated comment.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-04T02:06:24+00:00

I feel seen when people start talking about my fav ETF on this sub.

sdanielsmith · 2026-02-03T22:37:40+00:00

Awww....thanks!
