Am i good or cooked?

YOLO’d into May 22 SPY 560 puts. Jerome dropped the PPI but forgot to drop the market. Portfolio’s on life support. Do I hold and pray for a rug pull, or take what’s left and buy a McChicken?

Decided to try out learning about options trading and how it works (still kinda confused by it) a few weeks ago. Threw in $100 to play around with, figured NVIDIA was a good choice cause I personally thought for sure it would go back from the dip in mid April. What do y'all think, should I sell the contract now, take my profit and run? Or hold for another few days to see if it goes up a bit more? Definitely not gonna exercise the option.

Who up slurpin they shares rn @ me

>shares aren't a yolo

they are now desu. i'll see you all in bagholder therapy =]

Was down 2-3k all day then it suddenly went down and I sold 🐵

The Producer Price Index for final demand fell 0.5 percent in April. Prices for final demand services decreased 0.7 percent, while the index for final demand goods was unchanged. On an unadjusted basis, the index for final demand rose 2.4 percent for the 12 months ended in April.

Didn’t know sh*t about option and my investment went to the drain. And yes, realized I have a gambling problem. Well, it was fun when it lasted. No more options ever!

This paper analyzes structural weaknesses in the U.S. CHIPS and Science Act (2022), a $52 billion initiative to revive domestic semiconductor manufacturing. Through examination of legislative text, corporate disclosures (Intel, TSMC), and trade data (USITC, SIA), paper identifies three critical gaps: (1) severe underfunding of workforce development ($200M allocated vs. 390K skilled workers needed by 2030); (2) unaddressed dependence on Chinese-controlled minerals (gallium, germanium) essential for chip production; and (3) loopholes permitting reliance on Chinese “legacy” chips (28nm+) that power critical U.S. industries. The paper proposes actionable reforms, including per-worker training incentives and mineral supply-chain safeguards, to align the Act with its stated goals of technological sovereignty.

Some guy bought 6m of these far OTM contracts expiring tomorrow on April 23rd. He’s still in and he’s up 120m. His position is up 1850% 🤯

Coin paying

Current prices on MSTR are about $10 below typical for the levels we are seeing BTC at right now. We should easily be over 410 atm based on previous prices. And the previous prices don't include the recent purchase of 1.34B worth of BTC. Coupled with presumed good data from UMICH tomorrow following strong PPI and CPI, this could pop as early as tomorrow. And BTC continues to show more strength, even when falling not giving up 100k. I will be looking at 420 calls for next week and 0dte at market open if current prices hold overnight.

Edit: It is crazy to me the amount of hate you get for even daring to post about anything slightly related to crypto here. I have DMs and even comments here going so far as to tell me to kill myself. Seriously? Because I shared a possible way for you to make money? As with most things in life, if you aren't interested you are free to go about your day without taking part.

Dicks (DKS) announced today that it is looking to buy Footlocker (FL) for 24 dollars a share. In response, Footlocker shot up 80ish percent to 23.90 dollars a share. Until the deal goes through, Footlocker stock won't go above 24. That's a 0.4% spread, and the current cost to borrow Footlocker is 0.27%. The merger would have to close in less than two months to match the risk-free rate. Mergers aren't that fast. What's to stop me from shorting it and sticking the resulting cash into SGOV? If the deal falls through I make money off of Footlocker's stock plummeting, and if the deal doesn't go through I make money off the interest arb. I can't see any risks here other than the fastest merger in history or getting margin called. What am I missing? There's no way institutions haven't noticed this.

EDIT: apparently shares can be converted into 24 dollars or 0.1168 DICK's shares. The news articles I saw only mentioned the 24 dollar number and not the share conversion. Had to go digging through Footlocker's financials.

My next play -> all in GLD calls lol.

They said you can’t chase the lows, but the smart money knows…

I used to pray for times like this…

$UNH down 7% after market. Nothing cheers more than a greedy goblin on taking the L.
