Tesla aftermath

@BigBallss no that’s true and I’ve had others do Well. Just getting hit by alibaba and apples dipping. Amazon and Google dipping. I’m on the holk for some robinhood coming up. Nothing awful

I’m liking this brothers coffee though my first buy I think was $55 which was exuberance. Didn’t buy much but I’m looking to buy more.

getting involved in puts and calls takes away all the fun of pouncing on a dipping market. Because you can’t because you’re sitting there knowing if it goes down another $1 by next month you’re gonna be buying $100k worth and you have to leave your hot money available in case.

i may rethink this put thing. It can be easy Mobey but I think it result in me missing out on some easy money and some quick buying opportunities. That’s what I’ve always been good at. Pouncing when people panic. Now I’m operating like a boring suit. Pre determined levels. Guaranteed income money from the puts.

might let these things expire this spring and summer so I can be a swashbuckling pirate again

@Java interesting Java, I have stayed away from puts and calls and felt like I missed out on some good opportunities. but No complaints 2021 was my biggest year ever on Wall Street by far, I bought Tesla, WMT, PFE and Kr all were a long play, all except Tsla pay a dividend. i believe the concept of luck to be a superstition but my timing was incredibly fortuitous. It has never happened to me before in 30 years of buying stocks. I bought Tesla and soon thereafter they announced the Hertz sale, boom, I bought Pfizer and they announced the approval of the booster shot, boom. It’s almost like I had inside info. I bought some more tsla and wmt this week on the nice dip. Like the housing industry there has to be a correction soon

@BigBallss So far my experience with long playing stocks has been flat flat flat, lose a bit, lose , moderately, HOME RUN. flat flat, HOME RUN. etc. So when i hit Lam Research or Apple, yay for me. Overall I win. Especially because even when my investments end up sideways, both time and dividends save me.

With Puts? Little bit calls. Mostly puts, it's been win, win win win, win, win with little risk, win a little bit. LOSE, quick recover and stake out a new position to recover from that lose LOSE EVEN MORE. OMG, double down, triple down. KEEP LOSING. Geez.

The result is I rarely lose in the option game but when I do its a death spiral I spend all year getting out of and it puts almost everything at risk. And it messes with my mind and ego because I TRULY WIN like 80% of the time. If I was right this often with my stock picks, I'd be Zuckerberg wealthy. I am going to have to really sit down and look at 2021 and see how much I gained and lost from this option game to se if it was worth it What i KNOW I hate is to be sitting there ready to pounce. Feeling like it's a good time to jump in and commit 6 or even 7 figures. Knowing others are panicking and this is my time to be bold. And because I sold all those puts? I am sitting there realizing that for spending money I locked up all my cash and I can't do jack. I have to wait right now till March 18 to make sure I am not totally screwed I will be tuck with STAG at $40 and I don't mind that. It is a great stock I was forced to sell out of on a call about a year ago. Love it. But there's lots I would like to buy and for the sake of a few thousand here and there I am trapped now just waiting for the calendar to turn. And the problem is the money is addictive. Like wow really? $5,000 ? And I buy if Google falls another $100? Gee, that sounds like a good deal. Until Google falls $300 and suddenly I am upside down $50,000 in this game.
