    I sell options generally but it's not 'safer' as it is uncapped risk

    Yeah but like there’s not going to be a 10% dip in the line because a neolib wins the election.

    Selling options isn't a bad idea if you are actually holding the stock or if you do not mind holding the stock. There are some people that do not own stock that sold calls in the past week that are wishing they didn't.

    All I have been hearing for the past few weeks is that the market will crash if Biden wins, especially is Republicans keep control of the Senate. Wellllll, looks like a rocket ship just took off.

    It's two fold: big stimulus will happen and International investors/businesses feel more confident about their relationship with America. If we're thinking statistics, our range of outcomes has narrowed by a standard dev or two.

    Yeah, supposedly the hang up before the election is they didn't want to have Biden win and ride an economy bump due to a stimulus. So I dont see much being passed with Biden as President and a Rep controlled Senate. It'll be like Obama's last two years in office.

    Interesting thing to note as indices are up big today. Only 80% of S&P 100 stocks are up on the day...so market is not completely in-sync with this surge. Also the Yen is still hanging around at an inflection point. So while other indicators like the VIX are down, the Yen is still showing potential signs of a drop. Treasury buying also up YUGELY. If up big today, may want to hedge a little to be safe.

    Will be interesting to see what happens if Trump refuses to concede. Pretty sure he is having some form of a conference in 10min, if he goes off the rails talking fraud I could see a bad end to the day.

    Lyrtch or anyone else in the know -- has Biden actually stated his intent to raise the LTCG rate to 39.6%?

    If that's really the plan and the Senate goes blue, then you got to think there would be an unprecedented sell-off in the next few weeks.

    the odds of the senate going blue are very very low, and if they did squeak it out in these like GA runoffs that's something that would never happen because the swing vote would be Manchin

    I think the markets are going to be quite tumescent for the next few weeks at the thought of a Biden presidency coupled with a GOP senate. Less chaos from the white house and no real risk of any major tax hikes

    the downside risk is how much does a gop senate play ball (they won't)

    so probably no stimulus coming, if we get one it'll be small, and we're just going to barrel through the winter of corona crushing everything. maybe the "markets" won't respond negatively to all that, but it'll be a human catastrophe.

    I sold 8 11.06.20 covered calls at $40 earlier this week. Thought there was no chance it would reach this level this fast. Guess I’ll be saying goodbye to those shares at this rate.

    If DAL weren’t actively raping my puts, I’d be up pretty majorly today. I’m still up a considerable amount but it would be better.

    back in july, i bought 30 7/6 $9 calls of nio at $0.65 back when all the ev stocks were on fire and it boomed to $14. my plan when i bought them was keeping them and letting them expire.

    instead, i sold all of them when it fell 20% in 30 minutes at $12 (thought the bubble had popped) only for it to bounce back and close at $13 that day and finished the week at $14

    i’ve had nightmares about that stock ever since

    Taking that split into account Tesla was at ~63 last year on the 5th. Today 432. I'm not greedy, I'll settle for 400 flat.

    Took profit yesterday of about 20k on JD 1.15.21 & JD 11.20.20 and NIO 1.15.21, this shit is still rolling though. Should probably take some more before the bottom falls out. This market is fake as hell
