100/10 I'm pretty happy with how it's played out so far. I'm no /u/DeepFuckingValue but I'll say it's been life changing.

Any idea if they're still trying to cover their short today? Or did the already cut their losses? Stock is up another 100% today, so if they still haven't covered...RIPPP

 

I gradually unloaded my puts this morning as shit is getting real. Ended up with $5k loss. Time for next yolo. Love how slow the otm put market is reacting.

It's insane because the puts I bought last Friday actually jumped by 10% in value. I am an idiot for selling those this morning.......

 

Yes I sold out the puts in the morning yesterday. Ended up with $5K loss. The put market reacted very slowly to the surge so I got lucky LOL.

 

Wait you mean, you can play both sides and always come out on top? I'M IN.

They didn't when I set one up but that was years ago.

Here’s another example of how wild this market is. I bought a few GME $60 puts when the stock was at $150. Sold out when the stock hit $300 and MADE MONEY on my puts that are now $250 out of the money, because there is so much speculation on both sides of the trade right now.

Boy you're fucked. Tbh, you just betted a lot of $ on a coin flip.

I'd keep tabs on WSB thread.

Amount of activity & sentiments there is actually highly representative of the way retail investors trade. But be mindful of the silent "majority" of more "reasonable" retail investors with limit orders on either side of the profit/loss.

Good news for you is that. There's lots of institutional money wanting for GME to go down. Institutional support of the price going up are opportunistic and will gladly pull out at any potential loss. 

 

It’s a pure momentum play. It was intended that way from the start. Some few recognized the short interest, recognized the high liquidity of the options, publicized on public forums, and sat back to watch the dealers, HFs, and retail investors push the price higher. Actually very smart play by whoever started it. I’m sure they are long gone by now though. Now its just a constant cycle on its own just pushing higher until the interest is gone.

Can anyone explain the fundamentals behind the dramatic 2020/21 GME rise? I'm not seeing a fundamental change that could justify a 7,500% increase the last 12 months. 

Fundawhats now? Jesus I bet you eat your pizza with a fork too.

Who's still on this rocket ship? Got 100 shares at $16.50 and still haven't gotten off. We'll see where the price goes tomorrow but curious who else has continued to hold.

3k shares + a bunch of options reporting for duty. Diamond hands till this shit goes to $1000 or $0, whichever comes first. It's not even about the money anymore, it's about sending a message.

Now I regret ignoring your stupid posts. I could have made some easy money out of you.

Never discuss with idiots, first they drag you at their level, then they beat you with experience.

IV on Puts is the highest i’ve ever seen to be honest, but god am I tempted... Is it better to sell a call spread and capitalize on the high IV vs loading Puts? Trying to craft a trade here with downside bias (spreads seem like the only option?) but pricing on the chain is so F’d. Should I just shy away? Anyone come up with any ideas? Pretty obvious this thing wont be $200+ a year from now...
