    Thanks - Checked out @ 21.25 Made 17% in a tight little swing trade.

    As to the markets in general.. .

    Oil and tech supporting
    Precious metals continue to go higher
    Stimulus coming
    Opening post Covid
    Emerging markets
    Clarity regarding certain issues

    We're headed much higher now.

    I bought AH last night off of the hype and this jump is ridiculous. I didn't put much in but wish I would've. Just need to figure out what my limit sell should be.

    Bought some puts on RKT when it hit $40 and made a quick +160% when it dipped. Now to buy more GME calls.

    Man... I should have held FSR options over night... oh well, I looked yesterday to reenter but the premiums were pretty priced in and even higher now with the movement. Still something to keep an eye on. I've been in/out on their stock a few times.

    Yes, this is exactly what I am trading like lately, basically all momentum/high IV plays. Obviously it can be risky but I like the quick action/returns. I'd rather get in and get a quick 10-200%+ if playing off the higher IV premiums etc. Or get out on a quick loss I set the risk on if timed wrong.

    I still haven't touched GME... But definitely plays to be made there still.

    Ouuuuccchh. Wow.

    Mariner Research says that it discovered that one of Exro's partnerships is based out of UPS store mailbox. The report also adds that CEO appears to be reducing her exposure to the company, selling almost 18% of her shares in a four-week period.

    I thought the CEO selling was already known. But the UPS store mailbox one is a good one. Of course a lot of great companies started in garages, so ... maybe you should hang in there and wait for WSB to come to the rescue? lol. I never could get past the typo on their homepage, so I didn't buy. :D

    Damn, very nice man! I think FSR is still a great opportunity for making money, I'm planning on buying back in on shares sooner than later.

    Have you been playing any metals or oil? I missed the earlier plays on X. I basically stopped watching it when I missed the options opportunity by roughly a week or two and got a little stubborn...

    Take a look at Ford this week. Either 3/5 calls or 3/12 calls.

    Got stopped out. Is this a repeat of last week? Almost 20% cash now. Waiting for Thursday earnings; if sdgr tanks, everything is going into it.

    Sadly, most of those cruise lines have been going up for months while bleeding money, although CCL, RCL, NCLH, etc. probably still have some room to run. It's crazy that most of them are trading right around where they were before the pandemic started. DIS... well, they're way beyond what they were before the pandemic even started. ALK is an awesome airline play, but it's above pre-pandemic price. So is LUV. I'm not saying they can't keep going up. I'm just saying, I don't get it.

    No telling. I wasn't expecting a sell-off today, tbh. Long-term I'm still bullish, so if it sells off, I've got cash waiting for it. Keep your eyes on non-tech stuff, too. There's an infatuation with tech and SPACs. lol.

    If you're spooky about the markets, buy some TLT. Oversold and potentially near the bottom(?). If there's another bailout (bond or otherwise) the shorts will be squeezed.

    I never got into options before, but learning to play for a 3-6 month call

    This is counter to the current consensus, but there are solid fundamentals supporting the idea, though it could still go the other way as most people think it's sell sell sell.
