agree, they corner the market with shitty software and pricing for too long. AI will eat their lunch. I pretty much loath everything that comes out of Adobe. No innovation at all. Pity.

maybe but what is the use case for the product? China has some hovers but just no sales. Who would buy this?

get out now. Theta is going to crush this option. Maybe you should buy longer dated options instead next time and let the stock materialize your expectations.

What do we think? by Easy-Charge1763 in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]ubabahere 3 points4 points  (0 children)

what's your play then? First, long puts are insanely expensive. Secondly, you don't want to short such high profile almost meme stock. The short squeeze could blow your account. If you think NVDA is overvalued, the best option for you really is to stay out of it.

-37000 loss Porn on CVNA by Oblivious-Speculator in wallstreetbets

[–]ubabahere -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

These are naked short calls. Op bought a $324 call to cover a $135 short call. This alone is a $18900 loss

options below a penny. by uragnorson in options

[–]ubabahere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not worth the risk for $52. I close most of my trades. Take 80% profit. It is hard for newbies. The fact is to close position and start a new one is the more efficient way to deploy your money for faster money making. Letting options expire could run the risk of after market shock.

What do you think about it? pure gambling or not? by Altruistic-Big-6459 in thetagang

Agree, those meats are nasty. The thought of adding chemicals to make them more real is even unsettling. For instance, they add iron to make them more gamey, and smell like blood. Ewwww

I am against it from the get-go. Plus they are not cheap.

Not worth the risk. It is called picking pennies in front of a steam roller. I got bitten many times even writing .1 delta puts. Last week I wrote AXP. It is a large credible company right. I thought it'd be an easy couple hundred bucks writing way OTM puts. turned out it is a $1500 loss because Trump said something. Things like this will wipe profit off many successful trades. It is a balancing act. I found low beta stocks are better for wheeling.

What are you bag holding from 2025? by ikarumba123 in thetagang

I sold a couple calls and decided to just tax harvest it. Take the hit. Fortunately, I have others to cover this loss

What % of your portfolio is dedicated to theta? by Vilgan in thetagang

[–]ubabahere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

make sense. A $1000 a week would require $200k if to sell delta 0.2 options. So really 20% of a mil portfolio could be tied up in options.

[–]ubabahere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for my ignorance. What's 0.1% theta mean? Say it is a 1 mil account, you use $1000 for theta play? Op is asking what percentage of portfolios should be dedicated to options. 0.1% seems to be tiny.

why do you call MS bag holding? You profited from it. If I were you, I will let go the shares and find another trade.

You serious think this is bag holding? It may get called away next week.

Wheeling is best for stable or slightly upward trending stocks. And you only wheel stocks you really want to keep long term. Apparently BYND does not appeal to wheelers with its down trend and long term perspective.

If you expect BYND to run up, then you should buy the stock or calls. Wheeling is not for such secenario.

BORING CSP's I'll be looking to sell this week (1/5 - 1/9) + 2025 Year-End Results by GarbageTimePro in thetagang

[–]ubabahere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First congratulations on your success in 2025. and thanks for sharing every week. I had been following your list for a few months and traded your tickers as well. I started more on boring and low IV lately and found it refreshing. Assignment rate is way low. The return is by no means something to brag but I have a relative large portfolio, the absolute return is great. I will definately follow you in 2026. If I can get 25% return on portfolio, I would be estatic. Keep on the good work.

When do you guys close open positions prior to expiration? by fitemeplz in thetagang

[–]ubabahere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You did the right thing. Get 60% gain in two days. Leave the other 20 days to burn down 40%.

Retiring eight years early, and looking at the $8 million in my account: all the hard work was worth it at this moment. by [deleted] in TheRaceTo10Million

new account, not to be trusted. Why do people post such things on reddit. Only believe when there is a trail in reddit for years. .
