Date: January 9th, 2020 8:56 PM Author: Bronze yapping sandwich I need to do some work but a friend at work told me a wonderful story. My investing instincts are impeccable (or maybe the fed makes every idiot look smart idk) and I like the story and the current valuation (vs other us tech names). anyone with idle cash ite is an idiot and I have some burning a hole in my pocket.
Rate the notion of buying a fuckton of shortish dated BABA call options. TYIA |

Date: January 9th, 2020 9:00 PM Author: Bronze yapping sandwich Murdering Amazon in emerging markets and somewhat undervalued (ite era of lolzy US tech valuations). I think maybe you can expect a slight boost when the phase one deal is formalized next week
At a high level the fed keeps saying they’ll keep the spigots open so this feels like a generational feeding frenzy that won’t come around again soon |

|
Date: January 9th, 2020 10:32 PM Author: Frisky Thriller Background Story you only need BABA to go up 11% in that time frame to hit your strike and the $250 calls are half the price of the $230 ones. You can snag 10 of them for $6,600. Sell if they drop to $3,300 or hit $9,900. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4418708&forum_id=2#39407631) |

Also bank analysts are mostly worthless but they’re unanimously extremely bullish. I don’t see alibaba coming down anytime soon given the trade deal. Also I’m pretty sure the corrupt Chinese will cook the books in any real downturn |

Compare the Vix now to last year around this time. Free money -= low volatility equals lower profits for market making.

Date: January 28th, 2020 1:29 PM Author: crystalline cerebral pistol How is this going friend? I am down 90% on my BABA calls for this Friday. I mistakenly thought earnings was Friday but they issued a press release saying its in February. Right before market close yesterday I debated averaging way down in my BABA calls and then hoping for an uptick to sell this morning and break even, but I got cold feet. Had I done this it would have worked, but now BABA calls are back down. Probably can't do it tonight because with only 3 trading days to go not enough time left on the options to make it worthwhile.

All that matters is cloud revenue growth, guidance and maybe an update on the ANT financial ipo

In retrospect glad I sold. Should still have waited until yesterday and then sold but a gain is a gain. I am still way down due to other shitheaded bets. I was up 76% at one point today on some other calls but am letting it ride. Probably a stupid idea. Before I started playing options I would be happy with a 10% gain. |

Date: February 20th, 2020 9:06 PM Author: crystalline cerebral pistol AUY 2/21 $4.00 calls bought for 9 cents. I sold for avg of 25 cents last friday and thought i did pretty well.before it tripled then quadrupled this week. Today I think they were briefly above 50 cents before settling down toa chill 45 cents. Yet another example of my blowing my wad too early. I did buy some 2/28 calls yesterday for 8 cents and they hit 17 cents (112% gain) today before coming down. But that was only a few hundred bucks worth.
I lost big $ on MDT, YETI, and MO calls for 2/21. I really suck. Sold MO for a loss today for example but if I had held on I would have sold for an extra $1k but still an overall loss.
I did buy some BABA 3/20 $240 calls today on the dip. Trying to train myself to buy farther out and wait more. Iron hands. Plan is to hold those for a while and try not to freak out. |

That clearly failed spectacularly this week. Sometimes i use RH to trade options on stocks i have in my roth and know well. I rarely trade options in my roth because you cant just do "add more/$" when you lose. I do sell covered calls on my roth holdings tho.
