Funny story was in late March I bought JNUG for dirt cheap after stocks and juniors crashed and gold fell fast . I knew interest rates and inflation was on my side but I just didn’t have the patience to watch that ETF more than 3 weeks. Too bad, it returned 300-% (Even w fees) between late March and July 4 but I barely broke even . I was too spooked that Covid suspending mining was going to hurt the profits of the gold stock that the etf tracked (never thought the market would lift all boats that much ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 Was definitely wrong about GME selling off . Mid P.m it looked ready to go as it went from 350$ to 250$ steadily thou from noon till 2pm....but then ....it bounced and held and moved to settle at 325. Very impressive in my opinion. Big balls l Robinhood borrowed 1 billion to give collateral to clearing houses so it could successfully settle all the transactions. I be ieve the volume of Game stop 200 strike call options expiring today (that finished worth over 10K per contract) was 100 Thousand! and 100 strike calls and 150 and 250 all had huge volume that finished each worth 25K to 7K and there were another 100,000 of those i believe. Looking at next week's call option volume 800 strike is the most popular LOL (you basically make money when closing share price is over strike price) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Its just freaking mind blowing that as early as last week on say a Thursday morning (Game stop was trading around 40$) and hadn't moved much in a week... you could have bought a (game stop) call option with a 80 strike expiring today for about 50 $ per option/ contract . For every dollar game stop stock is above your strike price...at expiration date .. you add 100 to the value of your option. (the odds of your option finishing in the money at time of purchase was supposedly like 1%-which is why it was so cheap--i.e lets just say it wasn't anticipated to double and MORE ) . That option today expired worth 24,000 for every 50$ option you decided to buy. WSB has many many new Millionaires as anyone who held to expiration cashed insanely huge. Volume of those options was other worldly some definitely bought 100's and 100's of options. 5000$ in options made 2.4 million 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean you just try and think about possibilities and risk/rewards. How long can this go on for unless something tyranical is enacted. They showed they had steel balls and didn't fold /sell on a Friday of options expiring and they have no intention to let this go down or sell. Just buy and hold. I liked the risk reward of Puts this afternoon because at 3;10 pm i could have bought a 240$ strike on a put for 75$. IF the stock sold off in last hour from 320 to 180 i would have made been in the money for 60$ and that's 6000$ on one measly 75$ put contract ....it didn't lol but this was due more to WSB psychology than any fundamental price for the stock and i would roll the dice on that rare opportunity any day of week. I mean ..from noon today till 2pm the stock did fall from 350 bucks to 250 so it wasn't a wild idea I wonder if any new stock may run next week. Options prices have responded to the madness and become wildly expensive on the 3 main WSB stocks.......seems just a select 3 stocks GME/KOSS/AMC ran big today and WSB's abandoned the others to get the win on those. EXPR also still has a good looking chart but didn't finish near weekly high but was up 30% today from yesterdays close. If Monday has a down day then options prices may look more favorable (and stock prices in general BB stock was pimped by WSB but that fell today and never quite gained the volume the others had. I would likely just look for new Retail stocks that are new volume outliers as the week goes on. You need HUGE Volume to push these up big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like crime shows. I would probably like that. Those intrigue me. I really thought that Zac Effron pulled off Bundy very* well and that story is very interesting to me. Horrifying but intriguing. Just the mental make up ...and trying to get to the bottom of whether Ted was born like that or if he had a very disturbing childhood that contributed, he has some interesting theories on why he went into a downward spiral and the final actual Jail interview talking about his victims (in what seemed like was a moment of truth) was surreal and chilling, especially when asked about one of his last victims. Most of those people fascinate me, i mean Dahmer....he is very forthcoming in all his interviews ...these folks are all emotionless...so they are able to explain themselves very clearly....it's like tuning into someone operating on a different frequency, I find psyhology very interesting.

Amazing writing My wife and I had started the first few episodes of Ozark like over the summer 2019, but ended up cancelling Netflix as part of our budget. Then I cut the cord because cable was insane, and now have Netflix back (plus nearly every other streaming service for ~$100 cheaper per month). I think we've got to get back into it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely , that played out in September. This is really sorta just silly season between monetary policy , a pandemic that may just hang around (or restrictions due to the variant du jure) social angst Morphing Into different forms every month , and perhaps MMT taking hold and innovative technology moving quickly . Next week will be interesting , WSB is just a crazy manifestation of varying parts of society being done with things as they are , as they have been and they are not particularly caring too much what comes about as long as existing power structures "burn baby burn".

Ha Precious metals are a perennial potential moonshot but also the biggest threat to the global, fiat currency, financial house of cards. Cryptos are trying to take their place but let's be clear, if gold and especially silver, shot up like GameStop or AMC it is party over to Global financial systems as we know them. I'm a little torn about cheering that scenario on because a lot of hurt would occur to a lot of people in the short term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
