    FWIW if you’re looking to scratch the gambling itch, I’d go with short dated OTM options on the security of your choice.

    To expand on this a little further; if you’re betting these options in a high volume options contract (like SPYs), the chances are there are professional investors on both sides and it’s a decent coinflip.

    Betting for or against penny stocks is the equivalent of the Vegas Vacation clip when Clark goes way off the strip and starts playing “Guess what number I’m thinking of?”

    I like to think it’s similar to dog track betting. “Hey that’s a funny name, $100 on you”.

    Somebody apparently dropped $20K on 07/17 $2.50 calls for MARK, which is currently at $0.80 even after a 50% gain today. That seems bold

    I sold my mvis for a gain of $60 on Friday. Would have been up 500 today.

    I sold about 60% of my position when it was around $1. Kicking myself a little, but the options all went from .05 to .45 so hard to fault I guess.

    correct me if I’m wrong. That won’t protect you in after hours trading right?

    your trade would trigger at market open.

    Correct. Extended hours trading is only Limit Orders.

    It’ll only trigger if it hits the # set so if it keeps rising you’ll keep the shares and continue profits

    That's the logical approach, which isn't in line with my values or propensity to mindlessly gamble.

    I sold when I doubled. I just wanted people to be aware of after hours, because it can all collapse in over night trading.

    Was behind in my calls buying for MVIS so I didn't get them until they .25.

    Sold my 330 shares at double profit this AM, but also bought back in at .95.

    I never had heavy money in but I did make 1k this am on very little investment between the call and the shares. I think I might hold like 200ish shares but I’ll have to double check.

    Being able to trade shares but not trade options in AH and PM is torture on stuff like this. I could see it being $2 in PM tomorrow and dropping by 25-30% before 9:30 open

    Got in MVIS at 38 cents and cashed out my initial investment at 80 cents this morning, letting the profits ride. This is fun and reminds me of trading shitcoins

    Got in at .47 and took out principal at 1.02 and letting the profits do the rest. I’m setting a stop loss at 1.2 since it looks like it’s hovering around 1.3-1.4 in the extended hours
