THREADLY REMINDER THAT DIVIDENDS ARE YOUR FREN

whats going on with $USO? I made quite a bit of money selling my puts although i sold pretty early and could have made a lot more. Seems like it should be going back up within the next week or so though, what do you guys think?

Should I do it lads?

>>13918480
nice

>>13918607
because i bought calls this morning.

>>13918647
comfy i thought you saw the light and stopped playing the options game

>>13918647
Comfy can you give me a retard digestible explanation of options? I want to make these LCI bags less heavy

>>13918647
Do you have a clue what you're doing? The answer is no, and you should not do it.

>>13918681
Y-yeah but I've had two options wins in a row and am up 30%, so I can keep winning, r-right?

>>13918703
Sell some calls above your target price and chill

WHEEEEEEEE DOWN WE GOOOOO

>>13918703
I have a 3rd grade understanding of options so no I cannot
>>13918706
I am selling a put because I'm based and redpilled, but also buying a put because I am retarded

Hold onto your nuts, here we go.

>>13918710
DO EEEET!

>>13918718
This is the most intelligent post I‘ve seen you make. Always write calls anons.

>>13918746
You're new.. so no surprise there..

>it was a bull trap all along

>>13918720
FUCK

quick bagholderextreme Short it

>>13918746
>>13918718
Can you give me a retard understandable break down of what a call is and when I should be writing them?

Position on LCI right now is 234 average of $6.42. My estimate is $9.00 before or shortly after next earnings, how to I write options on these stances?

>>13918733
that's a bull put credit spread, you're risking $7.50 to make $4.50 on the idea LCI will be above $10 by yoru strike. I mean i guess since you get the credit your really risking $3 to make $4.50 on the thought LCI will go up 100%.... so you're basically cucking your self out of 50% of your potential gains on the 1 in 10 million chance that LCI goes above $10 by july

FUCK tesla and FUCK the Nasdaq as well desu

>>13918823
I very much appreciate the run down, I don't think I'll pull the trigger it was just a meme.
How do you calculate max loss on a credit spread?

>>13918816
A call is the right to buy 100s of a stock at a certain price (strike) in exchange for paying a fee (premium). Selling a call means you‘re taking the opposite of that trade - you‘re willing to sell your shares at the strike and you‘ll receive premium for doing so.

As for owning LCI, I can‘t say I‘d recommend it.

>>13918815
Ha, i'm not falling for that one again! I'm going to pick up some calls for power hour.

>>13918823

>>13918880
Difference in strikes minus premium received

>>13918880
the difference in the strikes, less the credit received.

>>13918871
Fuck TEVA and all big pharma

>muh safe stocks
This shit is going down faster than the WTC

>>13918919
I've been saying to short Teva for like what? A month now?

>>13918587
/sm(u)g/s

>>13918881
Have you even done any DD on LCI? Shit is way undervalued

>>13918816

A Call Option Contract is the right - but not the obligation - to buy a set number of shares directly from another investor's account at a guaranteed price.

Someone who writes a Call is Selling-to-Open an Options Position to a speculator.

The writer/seller of a Call Option hopes that the underlying asset price does not move well above the Strike Price listed on the Call Option so they can collect the Premium Payment from the speculator who bought it from them.

>>13918960
I kinda like it. Ror! But that seems really complicated.

>>13918979
I will also accept sub-machine gun.

>>13918918
Thank you for being helpful!
So lets say I sold a $10 put and bought a $5 put, the difference is 5*100 is a $500, minus the premium, correct?

>>13918999
soon, /k/omrade. Soon

Stopped paying attention for a while, what's happening? Why is my SDOW at its peak for the day?

That makes me worried about a power hour pump...

>>13918948
I have 2000 TEVA shares. It's not only Teva that's tanking, Mylan and BAYER are freefalling too.

It honestly seems a coordinated FUD against the pharma sector with all the bad news and price fixing stuff

>>13919007
Launching more drugs paying off debts early.

Look at market cap and look how many drugs they have on their product list. LCI is worth at least 1billion and it's trading under 300mil. It'll be worth more when all debts are paid and they have a shit ton of new drugs selling

>>13918386
Already did friend.

Just gotta hold hard.

Oh lookie here the S&P bounced off the 200 day and went green again.

>>13919007
Ror! Its heavily explained at least once in 3 threads. Heres a breakdown:
>stock trading between 20 and 25 when company was shitty
>fell to mid teens, then gapped down to 6 last August when company looked like bankrupt
>heavy short interest, too much actually
>company recovering
>only good news
>lawsuits hit generic drugs, mostly Teva, LCI isolated from scandal because only employee involved was from Teva
>company improving, secure contracts, paying off debt, beating earnings
>book value $9
>cash reserve value $5.20
>outperforming peers tremendously
>company will rise to book value
>short squeeze creates extreme demand
>stock value corrects
Questions?

This market is recovering, I'ma make this market into my fridge.

>>13919053
I know! They're all involved! Having to pay off litigators from previous naughty things too! Teva is gonna shit out all its cash. LCI is isolated from events.

starting to think the kelloggs CEO straight up lied to me

I don't know what to buy somebody please tell me I've had a bad week

>>13919136
>only good news
>No mention of DOJ & Many State's AG investigations into criminal activity
>Well at least it's not TEVA, now THAT is what a bad company looks like. Not like this, this is a good company!

God damn it rorposter you suck so much

This is what it looks like when MMs hand their equities off to the little guys on the way down. Nice and steady.

I'm just gonna call you /smg/enies. It's a double entendre! Money magic, and sado masochism. Ror!

I got so fucked...
Schwab told me I could sell my MF's anytime before the close, and they'd be taken care of that day, so I thought no rush.

So instead of selling my VTSAX two days ago, it sold yesterday, and I got CRUSHED.

Remember kids, markets close at 4:00 PM EST, but if you want to trade a mutual fund, get it in bedore 3:00 PM EST!

IS IT TIME TO BUY YET?

My dude weed bioshit waifu is going to do a presentation at FDA public hearing on effectiveness of dude weed derived pharmaceuticals tomorrow. This should be bullish for the stock as Tetra do not put out news releases often. If their presentation is good, it will put them on the radar as a potential next GW Pharma in the eyes of investors.

>>13919217
TEVA got hit with MYL and then I believe another case with JNJ on opioids.. LCI just happens to be in same industry. The one person who is suspected of being involved hasn't even been with LCI. Even old CEO is out...

This too! But these are older cases that are coming to fruition. It's gotten exposure now too. Ror! Teva just paid off a settlement from one state for $80m. They were the last ones to do it, and at the last minute. They're retarded.

The markets would go negative if that happened. We'd have to pay the companies negative dividends and shit.

who /crab/ today

>>13919273
>scandal

They've got a history of "scandal"
-FDA downgrades and attempts to withdraw approval for drugs, only halted by legal petition
- EPA violations
- price fixing
- failure to disclose end of contract in earnings report (cooking the books, exaggerating future earnings)
- CEO had to panic quit
- Senior Vice President and Chief Commercial Operations Officer, Maureen Cavanaugh, as well as LCI's current Director of National Accounts, Tracy Sullivan-DiValerio, are named in the suit.

This play is risky as fuck
the only thing I'd say that isn't accounted for is the push for american generics over chinese generics because trade war

Do they manufacture any of their drugs in China? Is that why the FDA found their Glycolax, Concerta, and ritalin to be low quality?

There's way too much smoke here for you to think there's no fire. Company is going to be in court forever, and can't seem to avoid criminal activity.

I will not do any more looking in to LCI, nor will I throw my money on this burning money-pit

>inb4 butthurt conman calls me a faggot

>>13919686
that just means when the trade war ends, the US and China and Europe will implement NEGATIVE tariffs and then the SPY will go to 4000 and all companies will pay 20% dividend yields

think about it

The only way we're going to break out of this bear market is if we can go to mars and mine rare martian elements, but we'll have to develop technology to use the rare martian elements in place of the rare earths and it's going to take like a fucking whole generation to do it. This IS the start of the greater depression.

CUT MY LIFE. INTO PIECES. THIS IS MY LAST RESORT

>>13919773
Ror! No. Old CEO was trash. Hes gone. Why would his departure be a bad thing for the company?

Yes the two employees are named in the complaint, only Cavanaugh is a defendant.

Labs are American. The rest of your claims are baseless and or false. Respect for researching tho. GL

;^)

>>13919970
dumpster fire! perfect word for it.
Doesn't mean it won't bounce a little as it goes down. If you're quick and lucky you can turn a profit... but this is not a short squeeze. This is a short-it-to-the-ground, and it's not worth betting on.

>>13920002
FDA downgrades, EPA violations, failure to disclose end of contract in earnings report

None of those are false.
The two "employees" are the Senior VP and Chief COO, they weren't low level "employees"

>Why would criminal CEO's departure be a bad thing for the company?
Leadership vacuum, the company has no direction

Are you seriously still memeing this stock?
Post your holdings so I can screenshot it and giggle when I remember.

Oh wait, I've asked you about this before, you never do post your holdings, at most you'll show one position and cover up the % of your portfolio it makes up... Wasn't that you?

>>13920180
Ror! Yup that's me. And no, wont post holdings. Position is the same. 770 shares, 6.18.

Again, two people in complaint, only one is an actual defendant. Connected to Teva. No leadership vacuum. Tim is doing pretty damn great! If he resigns, that's when I'll worry, and dumpity dump.

Juicy juicy dip on NRZ. Thinking of buying @ 15.50

>>13920313

Ror! I'll start calling him that.
>exit scam
He bought more on the dip. Many employees did. Except Cavanaugh. She sold.

>>13920255
I was watching that too, but seems they missed on earnings

>>13920313

I actually really like this image. He flew too close to the sun and his wings melted, in this case the wings are cheap money not wax. I know it's obvious if you know the story, but the way it works in financial context is great.

>>13918976
So I write calls hoping they won't be executed so I can collect the premium on the option?

If someone thinks it'll reach 12 after next earnings, I sell him the option to buy at X price on a specified date and if it doesn't reach X price I collect the premium and the shares?

>>13920350
0.53$ EPS vs. 0.54$ forecast? That's hardly a miss. Are you getting different numbers?

Jesus christ those TEVA premiums are insane. Fuck me I‘d be writing calls on that instead of AMD if they weren‘t just going straight down into shit. Oy vey, someone let those tel aviv niggas to step that lawyer game up a notch.

>>13920383
You don’t know shit, he said he sold “some” back after earnings.

While he was selling, he told everyone to hold.

This was before LCI dropped 40% in 24 days.

If you’re still holding this, I don’t know what to tell you.

Fug forgot my name, brb buying NRZ

Where my boomers at?

>>13920531

>>13920559
>>13920531
My bad, missed the name. What is competition?

>>13920452

Correct.

You write (Sell-to-Open) Calls to another investor in the hopes that they do not execute their Option Contract and assign it to your account.

Example using easy numbers:

>ACME is changing hands at $20 a share

You believe it will snibble along sideways for the next month.

You Sell-to-Open next Friday's Call Option at the $25 strike price.

Your client who is Buying-to-Open their speculative position thinks they know something, and wants to be able to call away your shares at $25 all day. The buyer is hoping for a rally to $30 a share so they can call away your shares at $25 and sell them immediately in the market at $30 a share for an instant profit.

ACME trades for the next two weeks and ends up at $19.97 per share.

Call Option Contract expires worthless.

You profit off the premium collected with no further legal obligations to deliver to anyone in the market.

>>13920431

Based & 428pilled.

Ding ding ding! How did everyone do today? I'm down .02%, nearly completely flat despite some big swings in my holdings. BGS clearly flew too close to the (purple) sun, but PZZA immediately cancelled out the loss. On the plus side I went to the bank today and I unexpectedly have 2k more in savings than I thought! I took the opportunity today to pick up some shares I thought were good dealios.

>>13920649
Ror! Up .97% today!

>>13920649
Flat again at +.5%, just waiting for theta to squeeze out the last few dollars before I rebuy on Monday‘s dip.

>>13920649
you went to the bank to check your savings?

-0.31%

>>13920649

Up +1.19% today and slowing crawling out of my triple-leveraged hole of (-24.27)% that I fell into thanks to Presidents of Nations measuring their dicks against one another's.

>>13920608
To make it specific to my scenario, I think LCI will finish next week at $6/share max, someone else thinks it will finish at $7/share

I sell him the option to buy my shares at $6.50/share next Friday, charging him a premium that he pays up front, and if it doesn't reach $6.50 I pocket the premiums and keep my shares?

How is this not just making free money off of people who are too hopeful?

As long as I set the execution price of the option above my average cost per share, even in the even it does go to $7 I got paid extra to leave the market early?

>>13920649

You have to be fucking trolling.
Do you think it was a good sign for Blockbuster when Hollywood Video and the rest of it’s competition went out of business?

Are you going to invest in GameStop now that Toys R Us and KB toys are gone? What about Barnes and Nobles, they’ve outlasted their competitors like Borders Bookstores and Crown Books.

Price fixing means there were other companies involved, so of course other companies are going to take a hit.

Please tell me you’re just fucking with me and you didn’t invest in this company with such a poor grasp of the situation.

I don't use a normal bank, I go to a credit union attached to the university I work at. They have green carpet (kind of dingy), a couple of normal chairs, two or three small vases of fake flowers and a bigger pot with real flowies in it. Most importantly they have a keurig machine that they never stop me from making multiple cups of coffee from when I walk out. Their downtown location by the grocery store is much nicer, they have sleek matching silver furniture and ipads for people to use.

>Correct. Buy the underlying LCI shares in round lots (multiples of 100 shares). 1 Option Contract = 100 Shares of Underlying Stock. Sell-to-Open Call Contracts at a $6.50 Strike Price for $XX.xx Premium. You are paid/credited $XX.xx in Premium Cash Money to your account. If it does not reach $6.50 on the underlying plus the Premium and commissions paid to purchase your Call Option then it you will not be assigned.

How is this not just making free money off of people who are too hopeful?

>Is pretty much is.

As long as I set the execution price of the option above my average cost per share, even in the even it does go to $7 I got paid extra to leave the market early?

>Yes. You are essentially selling off potential upside return for an almost guaranteed profit cap. So if LCI is $5.50 a share, you write a Call for the $6.50 Strike, and it's assigned at $7.00 per share -- and Called away from your account, then you've made a profit of $1.00 per Share plus your Premium Payment collected.

probably no one will buy it, or at least no one will buy it for that price

you can always try and sell options for whatever price you want, doesn't mean anyone will buy

especially for virtually empty order books, the top-level price reported in RH for something like that might not mean very much

Puts are opposite of Calls.

Puts are "The right of the buyer to PUT their shares of stock up for sale directly to your account at the agreed upon strike price."

Basically, if you Sell-to-Open a Put, you are writing "Crash Insurance."

>Don't worry, scared investor! For the low, low price of tree-fiddy, I will step in at $ZZ.zz and buy all of your shares from you no matter what!

>I fell for the crypto meme

>>13921520

Yeah, if you're the retard who's buying them. I was talking to Anon about selling them. Big difference.

>>13921439
always always always remember what prices are
for options and for stocks, a 'PRICE' is the most important concept for a trader or investor to understand. For options and for stocks, a price is the SAME thing. I only stress it because lots of people imagine options prices as a sort of magical thing.
A price that an options contract is written at is an agreed upon price that the buyer and seller both agree to. The options and stocks that you can buy and sell in robinhood are being sold/bought by other real parties to the transaction.

I sure do love analysts...

>>13921773
I really don't even know what kind of research I should be looking at, and I DEFINITELY don't know how to find promising companies. That's my biggest problem. Invested in a few (what I thought was) good biotechs and biopharns (ones that didn't have moonshots) but everything I had recently got fucked. (NVTA).

>Fomo'ed into the crypto top

fuggg
get out?
this is the worst gambling device...

>>13921898
so instead of researching companies, you could be researching 'how to research companies'
look at the research that other people do and publish and take that kind of thing into account.

then understand that it's all priced in anyway, the only research that you could do on companies you'd have to really know a lot.
All the basic fundamentals that you can look up online are mostly priced in. So just by researching those it's super unlikely that you will beat the market.

If you're investing in biopharmas, you need years of experience at least, probably a decade of study and experience on the investing side of things and the actual pharmaceutical side of things. You can't just browse a couple SA articles and expect to clap the cheeks of the market.

Are you SQQQ friends still holding? Might take my 3% profit AH but can't decide. Not a very convincing buying session today.

Is there any way to write calls for specific days/prices instead of picking from Robinhood pre-made shit? would I have to get a real broker? What broker would you guys recommend to me when I'm ready to move on from PajeetHood?

>>13922761

TEVA and LCI are not the safe "big pharma" names, and are not the names making promising big acquisitions.

The ones to get are Merck and Pfizer. Other oprions include Bristol-Myers, Eli Lilly and Johnson & Johnson.

I like JNJ but it also has some vulnerability right now in the opioid lawsuit, and sells a lot more than pharmaceuticals. I will probably get it if it continues getting cheaper.

If you want to really understand stocks, companies, the economy, and the market (money, bonds, commodities...) you have to read a lot.
There is an ever-growing complexity to the stock market and financial systems, they basically never get simpler.

like it'll take months of reading to get all the basics. reading about stocks in general, researching certain stocks, and watching their performance. Then you think you understand it all and BOOM! a discontinuity. something unpredictable happens from no where and completely moves any prices you were watching.

Meanwhile, there are millions (tens of millions) of well-educated people around the world working hard to make money in the same 'game'. And those people want it just as much as you do, no matter how much money they have. And while it isn't all zero-sum, certain parts of it are, and a lot of it sort of pretty much is (in terms of alpha over the markets).

https://b-ok.cc/book/661789/26f06d

'it' is just making a bit more than index funds
If you really want 'it', you're going to have to work for it really hard. you're going to also have to try and work for 'it' in intelligent ways that no one has thought of. You're going to have to try and find opportunities that others overlook. You're going to have to question yourself and your emotions ceaselessly, like an obsession, like you're paranoid always that you're sabotaging your own mission to just stay afloat, to just tread water

AMRN - Will see you make Profit. Either via a buyout or via Sales. The only difference is a buyout would see you get your money sooner.

At the low end I stand to make $18k. The high end is 40k. Either way I've made more than what I've got in the market as a whole. (13.5k). So I'd recoup my investment money and make a bit extra plus still have my other holdings making me even more money down the road.

I'm tempted, it just looks a little overbought right now to me, what do you guys think? Same with Faceberg, which I kind of want to buy, as I think VR and their new crypto will really give them some room for growth, but again, looking a the chart, they look overbought to me right now.

>>13924047
If all the trades you have made were wrong, the opposite trades would have been right. Epiphany! Long when you think you should short and vice versa. Sell when you think you should hold. Hold when you think you should sell.

>>13924414
Yeah. The sweet spot was when it was at $100 or close to it. I'd wait for a dip or some bad news to come out.

>>13924557
I think Zuckbook is trash atm - unless they can manage to somehow beef up auxillary revenue streams (you mentioned VR) and repair their public image. Hell, even the public image thing isn't too bad. I just see NI falling and I get nervous about it's future.

MSFT does look a little overbought but I still think as a long-term buy it's a good bet.

Hey, is crabbing with volatile, low initial value stocks a good idea?
Put another way, let's say I buy a bunch of a relatively stable over the year but always fluctuating by a few percent here and there low cost stock at a low point, then sell it at a high point in those fluctuations (assuming a buyer exists for that)... is that a strategy that could at least net me gradual probable gains?

>>13924668
yeah, i'll probably dca into msft over the next year

>>13922838
You didn’t read my post I thought it would tank but I didn’t have any positions just a watch they dropped guidance though and that may sink it tomorrow while the models are crunched I wish I had bought puts made a bad call myself on one of my plays but meh that’s what happens when you research too hard

Basically, we have an inverted yield curve, but people said it wasn't a valid signal for a bunch of nonsense reasons.

This is going to steepen the curve and make sure the recession is going to happen 100%. Add this to the other chaos in the market and you have a recipe for 2008 and more.

>>13925641
Did you grab TVIX then, like was obviously the move?

>>13925611
Checked, and Based.
But VZ, Comcast, and Dis will tear apart T, S, and TMUS, then they will feast on the remains to grow stronger.

>>13925760
Ah. Well the fact that it has to be a sustained inversion isn't nonsense, also it hasn't hit the "correct" bonds yet, right? And then we have to juice the stockmarket to an ATH before it comes crashing down.

Isn't that how it's supposed to go down?

>>13925760
We haven't seen such a gap between the 3mo and the 10y since 2007, so 100% chance we have a recession by 2020.

>>13925611
Have you ever used AT&T's website? Like their portal for customers? It's abysmal. That experience alone makes me want to short

>>13925644
I think you'll find in the long run T will reward you plenty. Consider:

So far this year they've paid down more debt than they had anticipated in doing for the year as a whole; on track to pay down 75% of a 40 billion debt by eoy. They did/are doing this without the full 5G rollout, without Time Warner fully up to speed, without the Streaming Service and without cutting the Divvy. So just think once everything is fully online what that'll mean.

The First Net/Xandor/Latin America unit is growing revenues. The Legacy parts still bring in revenue.

They bring in more Cash now than both Dis and Comcast The leftover cash is more than enough to cover Divvy payouts with room for growth.

Just saying; the debt, people look at the debt and run for it. But they don't see what lurks behind it. It's what you don't see is the things that makes T well worth your money.

>>13925837
anon what makes this extra bad is the timing. In 1 week they are getting applied with no warning.

>>13925837
The bonds that have inverted and the depth of their inversion is an indicator that has predicted EVERY recession since 1955.
Are you sure you want to bet against that?

Trump is the king of volatility.

>>13925442
How many cheap goods do you think come in from Mexico? I'll give you a hint: a lot. The globalized economy also means a hit to Mexico will naturally hit us, thanks to the people moving money to Mexico (remittances + investments) and those moving it to US (capital flight, etc).

https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/mex/

70% of Mexico's exports are to the US, and 50% of their imports are from us.

https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/usa/

Mexico's our largest importer, at 15% of our exports, 14% of our imports are from Mexico. They're roughly as big as China when it comes to trade, and they're triple Japan's size of our trade. This is only slightly better than China tariffs, if only due to the rate. The surprise of doing it might be rather painful.

Heh, I got Comcast, T, and Dis. I can't lose no mater what happens when it comes to the Streaming Wars.

Consider: Netflix got to be where it is just by streaming alone (before they added there own content). I'm referring to the stock price as well. So it stands to reason that T, Comcast,Dis stock will also gain by streaming to.

>>13925925
>oh FUCK that means the dems can put up any candidate and they'll win... Should I buy more TVIX, SDOW, SQQQ? Or do I buy RGR, Vista Outdoor, and the other one?
The problem with the yield curve is that even if it's one of the best indicator of a coming recession, it's not that great at telling us WHEN it will happen.
Historically a recession happened 8 to 18 months AFTER an inversion.
So even after an inversion the markets can reach new highs.
So the recession can as well be in December 2020 after the election especially if the FED goes all in in order to "save" the markets.
I would wait at least until the next FED meeting in June 19 02:00PM ET and of course see what happens at the next G20 meeting and eventual talks between XI and Trump.
So for the moment I would sit on my cash and wait until the beginning of July to make any moves.
