Thought that was % at first

 

So are we holding through Friday?

 

Oh fuck yes

 

I may buy more tomorrow

 

FYI earnings are before the bell Friday at 7am central

 

Same. I just loaded up. I don't always love holding through earnings. But you've shown a lot of evidence supporting your position.

 

If there’s one thing I’ve learned it’s that holding through earnings typically involves a lot of pain

 

CaneKnight =

 

$23.75 AH

 

For the people who bought shares what’s the goal for VST?

 

The moon

 

But really it’s hard to say because a once in a generation event happened last week. They were the best positioned company to take advantage of it.
Should learn more tomorrow at the hearing and Friday morning

 

Too much time in the WSB thread

 

Ha I thankfully did not participate in any of that

 

me every time I read updates in this thread

 

What did you guys get VST at? Doesn't look like its done much in the last month

 

I got in this morning, riding with you Gallant Knight

 

yeah i wish i knew wtf they're talking about

i clicked on my TDA option chain and it's like reading sanskrit

 

Samsara is a tech company I work with for GPS/Camera/sensors/etc. that is amazing. They are filling for their IPO next month. I've been asking to buy employee shares for a few years, but none would sell.

The founders started Meraki - a cloud IT company now owned by Cisco

 

The Ask on VST $24 Calls is now at $1.05.
Currently at a 62% return.

 

Let’s not get cocky lads

 

At almost 100% return now. Tempted to pull the plug but this is fun.

 

Sell half and you’re playing with house money...

 

at the peak of the outages last week 48.6% of the generation capabilities in texas were offline. wow.

 

Lmao. Go Joe Go. Saving my semiconductor position from the nosedive it’s taking over the last week.

 

OMI up 38% today. Going to short it.

 

Are you actually short selling or buying puts? Former seems like an easy way to lose a lot of money

 

Short selling. It's all gambling to a certain extent. Short selling just makes more sense for me than understanding options.

 

after listening to the ERCOT meeting I really don't think they could've done anything to prevent what happened last week. It sounds like a bunch of third parties needed to winterize their stuff and they didn't want to spend the money to do it.

 

Way easier to fuck yourself shorting though even if you don't understand options.

 

Ok. Did they say if our calls were going to moon or not?

 

they are mooning daddy

 

Gambling with unlimited loss exposure. Buying calls / puts aren’t that complicated and you’re not going to lose more than what you put in.

 

Options are also the only real way to limit risk when shorting

Using the stock you mentioned. You could short it at the current price, $33.60 for 100 shares and buy the $32.50 Call for 3/19 for $310.

Now your max risk is $200 and you still have all but $310 of your potential gain from shorting.

Its called a synthetic put if you want to play with it on here

added to my VST position

100 3/19 $25 calls at $0.675 each

 

Thanks man!

 

GameStop up a mere 104% today.

 

Almost 150% in AH right now

 

Puts tomorrow?

 

I don’t see it keeping up for as long as it did last time so that’s probably a play, but they’re gonna be expensive as fuck with how it’s moving.

 

Will be prohibitively expensive

 

You timed it well, it’s up another 9% today.

 

What a rush.

 

Looking at 3/19, At close pretty much all break evens were around $50-$55, so pretty risky

 

Lol GME

 

Can't wait for RH to have more capital requirements tomorrow morning.
