Why are you scared anon?

>>57598879
Because I have money now

I'm thinking of getting into LLY and TME if tomorrow opens green.

SPY 3/15 490p's otherwise.

What about you guys?

>>57598855
I still have a natgas position, though obviously it's not 30k MMBtu anymore but 14k, so if it pumps back up to $1.80 my account would go back to $7k.

>>57598879
I'm not scared for any of my positions, even the 100 shares of SHOP I retardedly bought at $89. Still holding. Might even average down tomorrow.

i went to the store to try and flirt with the cashier who is always nice to me but she wasnt there

Do a 60-30-10 into equity, bonds, and cash. Of that 60, keep it primarily into an index fund like SPY or VOO, and allocate maybe 6 of that 60 to NVDA like >>57598913 says

It's droopin while the NE all the way down to WV is getting hit with a winter storm, worst snow in years in places.

natgasfag what the fuck are you doing

>>57598913
I'm considering it but the possible volatility if AI turns out to be a bubble gives me cold feet.
>>57598931
Why?
>>57598934
DCA or just dump a lump sum in?

>>57598948
learn short term management and the long term takes care of itself.

>>57598943
When commodities dump like this I don't even bother to figure out what's going on because all the experts can do is give reasons why it went down. They might think it has predictive power but it doesn't, the next thing you know something happens, the narrative changes and the price changes too, and the old narrative is memory-holed. Knowing too much might cause you to be bearish at the bottom, ignorance is bliss. Maybe some storm will change the narrative, maybe it will be something else, all I know is that it's super cheap and no one really knows that it would go lower.

>>57598914
Been anticipating the Hang Seng opening up again before dumping in more cash. I still am optimistic this bottom will hold.

>>57598921
That's Osaka from Azumanga Daioh, you uncultured plebian.

>>57598947
Some of these niggers' thesis is nothing more than it's really low so surely it's going back up any second now so lets pile shitloads of capital and leverage into it.

>>57598948
>DCA or just dump a lump sum in?
are you over 50? then ignore that other anons advice on bonds and voo. hes getting you a bad portfolio.

>>57598979
>>57598973

>>57598975
still got majority sitting in cash with some primed for entry, $14 better be the bottom but we'll see

Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i should go to college.

>>57598989
>are you over 50?

>>57598975
>I still am optimistic this bottom will hold.
Doesn't look like it will hold to me. China looks like it's going to further sell off. Would be nice to get baba at $50 and ping an insurance at a P/E of 2 or some shit.

>>57599009
then you dont need any bonds really. yeah bonds are at highest ever its been for like 20 years but its still a trash place right now. you dont need a 4-5% return on it. if you want do 5% maybe 10% as bonds. rest are in actual stocks. not index etfs like voo.

>>57599005
I hate momentum traders like you wouldn't believe

>>57598283
Answer... me....

>>57598948
>Why?
Uranium production is going to pop off in the next several years, the gap between supply and demand continues to grow every year. Nuclear took a big hit in the post-Fukushima years as both Greens and Oil/Gas lobbies took potshots, and alot of the mines closed up or slowed dramatically. Governments and even greentards are figuring out that Nuclear is in fact the answer to enormous amounts of sustainable, reliable, green energy.

>>57598919
Uh, you sure SNA isn't going to just repeat what it did in July with that last plunge?

>>57599036
whens your expiary? you are prob fugged bro.

Another day. Cash should settle tomorrow so I can shaft the card company on Friday. Due date isn't till the 23rd but still I want this over with fast. Gonna file taxes on friday to so once that's done 2 weeks later hopefully 2,335 lands in my emergency fund. All said and done that just leaves a personal loan. Which I don't care about it. The rate is low, single digits, and it's paid off date is in 2026. I think the total interest over the lifetime I pay on it is like 1000?, some low ass amount.

What sorts of investments should I hold in an HSA? I've just been accumulating in the default money market. I never bothered to estimate health expenditures so I'm not sure how much I need to keep as cash.

>>57599046
Thursday!

>>57599078
A bag of dogshit would be superior, since the CCP couldn't steal it from you.

>>57598979
>it's really low so surely it's going back up any second now
no it's "it's really low so if I buy now it probably won't go lower than a few percents at worst". Nothing can predict that the price will go back up, the only thing that's predictable is how low it can go. You don't even need a real upward trend, the bet is on brownian motion but with limited downside.

>>57598931

>>57599076
Well I guess we gotta take that risk with all investments, huh? I'll check back in a few months to see if it has, for the lulz.

>>57599059
Yeah. I did back before things went insane rate wise. Took out a personal loan. Went on a bagging spree. I was uh late 30s. So I didn't have time on my side to dca into say VZ and let compounding work if I wanted a nice divvy to greet me when I got old. So I decided to speed the process up. As it happened covid gave me a gift.

>>57599099
Hopefully it will work out for you, but it can certainly go a good bit lower, and it's not even into shoulder season yet. I don't know how trading futures directly works in most ways, especially when it comes to time in the sense of you've bought COONTRAKS that expire and all that. Really all you need though is a lucky little boomp above your basis. May it be so despite the very real potentials of much lower, for a few months longer.

Anons, suppose you lived on a hill and you already had some sollar panels, would you install some more or would you rather buy a wind turbine? I mean I look over the hill on the other side and see how those giant wind turbines are powering the entire town, the electric company must be on to something.

Got to give them credit for at least not being NO NATGAS NIGGERS though.

Now SWPPX on the other hand, that I'm dcaing into. It's more of a low priority thing. Merely extra money sitting when/if I should ever need it. Uh frankly its more likely to grow even more fuck huge once I pass 72 cause I'll need somewhere to dump my excess 401k RMD.

>>57599287
I don't go anywhere to see people saying anything unless it gets mentioned on CNBC but I can easily see $1.18, I just solidly expect $1.44. I can't remember what past date it hit it on, but I saw it when looking at charts and figured the momentum looks to be headed that way.

my SOXL calls are getting exercised, huh?

>>57599326
Cool

>>57599315
Yep, I assume we're in for a bearish storage report this week too. *Maybe* not next though due to the present winter storming, but it will still be tempered by these weather outlooks.

My predictions for tomorrow. What part of "higher for longer" do you not understand

>>57599737
Likely. And it's not like the market will start pricing in rate *hikes*, so that risk is removed. Still, a bounce back seems a little too obvious doesn't it?

>>57599737
Higher for longer applies more to the SPX than to interest rates, since those rates were priced in during the 2022 bear market.

>>57599826
Refer to her as Osaka. The joke is that she introduces her self by her full name as a transfer student from Osaka and she immediately gets nick named Osaka. Never to be referenced by her real name again.

I recommend the dubbed Azumanga Diaoh anime. It was back when anime had soul and wasn’t cringe like it is now. The death of anime came from “moe” introduced by the anime Lucky Star which was a pathetic attempt to copy Azumanga Diaoh. But Azumanga is the real deal. The ideal form of anime. Its all been downhill since then

Realized what I did didn't mater. Doing something without a lot of stress and something that would let me "quit" the soonest did. So I got a state govt job. I don't regret it a bit. Yeah I could've got over into IT once I landed with the state but alas right after I got on they moved most of those jobs to contractor based. So I would've had to quit and forfeit my retirement perks.

My state (KY) the legislature is getting ready to fuck over the teachers yet again. Removing another retirement perk. Even though its a running joke that hey a teacher shortage is going on they still want to I guess give people yet another reason to not be a teacher. Now; unused sick time can be used to juice your retirement payout when the time comes. If it passes; kiss that perk goodbye. Teachers don't get S.S either.

Its pretty funny too because our schools are about to lose accrediation because the district hasn't had an attendance policy since covid so we're facing chronic absentism on top of a strong race gap. Two red flags and boom, it's going to be an awful place to work at leading to more teachers leaving.

Some people sell puts at a price they'd want to buy the stock (which they don't necessarily think it'd reach). But that sounds like Satanic black magic to me. Sick shit.

>>57600794
>Exercising option
You're basically giving away all the theta/time value/extrinsic value on the contract, plus whatever the exercise fee is ($25 usually)

>>57600839
Why, exactly? The Year of the Dragon started, and that's not just a Bruce Lee movie.

>>57600843
In the same way that writing a call will limit your upside, writing a put will limit the price you are able to buy a stock at. If it's trading at 50, you think 45 is a good price, and it drops to 35, you just overpaid by $15/share

Hey. /biz/. A bunch of insiders at SMCI just filed a bunch of Form 4's. The transaction codes are M and F on every single one.

M – Exercise or conversion of derivative security exempted pursuant to Rule 16b-3
F – Payment of exercise price or tax liability by delivering or withholding securities incident to the receipt, exercise or vesting of a security issued in accordance with Rule 16b-3

So much the Internet tells me, but I am still none the wiser. What the bloody mortal fuck is a derivative security and how do you exercise or convert it? are they buying shit or selling shit? Anybody know...?

>>57600880

>>57600865
I'm writing 25 delta calls on my WMT shares to get an extra 1-2% per year on my position. If it goes against me, I just pay $10 for a transaction and roll the contracts ahead to the next month. Eventually it dips and I get to enjoy the theta decay.

Shit thread. Going to start another /gme/ thread to make this board more shitty

>>57600891
If someone's paid in stock options (perhaps conditional on company performance or timing) that allows them to acquire shares at a predetermined price. So a director might have 1,000 shares, exercise 1 call (worth 100 shares) by paying some amount, and end up with 1,100 shares.

But that is technically a kind of payment so he can set aside 15 or 30 or however many shares he needs to to cover the resulting tax bill.

>>57600950
>>57600891
Another thing to consider is that executive options can also be awarded depending on performance. There are also warrants, which are like options, but are dilutive in nature (eg, which exercised will actually create new shares). Stock splits are also interesting in this context because it fucks with the fundamental ratios, like EPS. Corporate action could do a split to make the stock look nice, only for the csuite to get a fat kickback because the books look better

>>57600907
Ah, thanks for the explanation. I can see how it nets a little income and makes sense for some tickers then.

>>57600917
Thanks for classing up the joint, Scoopsies. How's the ol' 100% SOXL portfolio doing?

If there's a huge amount of insider selling, it can also signal insider knowledge, eg perhaps selling the top or taking profits in advance of a buyout or bad ER or guidance.
In this case, review how many still retain their shares, whether it's mostly insider, or if institutions still hold

uh henlo mr jerome i would like to ask a question

fuck you; ya pozzed asshole

>>57600966
Yeah if you want, https://www.secform4.com is an aggregator I like, but it's not yet caught those new filings. The forms themselves are up on EDGAR, the SEC's filing search engine: https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/

The forms will give you an exact amount of how many shares the person got, how many they're holding, and pretty much whether you should gtfo or not.

>>57600980
Looks like they're selling a bit of stock and acquiring a lot more. This one is typical.

That's it, this is officially the worst /smg/ ever

>>57600991
Remember what I said here? >>57600950

The code "M" rows are those "100 shares being bough" (that's why they have an "A" after the share count). The code "F" rows are the "15 or 30" shares being set aside for taxes; so they're not really sales per se.

CPI came in at like 0.4% for a single month, which is insane. But it proves Powell right that inflation isn't dead yet and it's way too soon to be cutting rates.

Where have you been the past 5 years? Westerners were selling, selling, selling. Eventually the past couple weeks it got so bad the Chinks joined in and started buying SPY and Nikkei ETFs at 20% premiums to NAV.

It looks like they've improved a little bit, but they still pay 40-60K less than market. I also remember checking their reviews and they would nickel and dime you on anything you tried to use or take home. The hours were also mentioned being pretty long. Not to mention their stock wasn't anything special until the last few years. They weren't a shitco but they weren't seeing the gigantic gains all those other tech companies were getting.

It will hit the green line. I guarantee it
