Looking to invest a little extra cash and figured you guys and gals know more then most financial advisers. Lol
I wish I knew too.
I make a few percentage points once in a while by watching HON. It?s been floating between 208 and 212 for a while now. Bid was 196 on thursday, compared to the 212.70 ask, so it might drop hard tomorrow. Which would be a good time to buy in of course.
I think Bitcoin is about maxed again, I?m going to move mine today I think. I wish I had real money in that, it?s up over 500% for the year. Watch for it to plummet, buy in and wait. That?s my plan.
I'm a fan of ETY because it has pretty decent dividends that pay out monthly.
buy an index fund and be done with it
Honestly with Biden coming in office and all the green energy and climate change legislation that is going to be pushed, invest in a tech fund and a clean energy fund of some sort. Just look what BLNK did in a few short months. And they just build chargers for cars.
How much time are you wanting to spend researching, monitoring, and developing strategies for your investments?
Lots of good arguments for ETF's, Individual Stocks, Funds, Bonds, and investment diversification.
Most advisers start with an analysis of your goals, risk tolerance, and time to invest.
There are great books, organizations for individual investors, and on-line resources.
If you have a brokerage account with a low cost provider such as Fidelity, Schwab, or TD Ameritrade, they have excellent training resources for the small investor.
An account doesn't take much money to open and then you have access to large data bases, investing strategies, and multiple tools.
The world of investing is huge and your access to it is just a few clicks away on your computer.
Have fun!

I've been looking at emerging tech like lithium glass batteries. Someone is gonna hit it big in that sector.
I have done well with Tesla and AMD, and leisure transportation stuff like airlines and cruise lines seem to be bargains right now.

Expect the dollar to drop in value. Hoping to find a investment that will not lose based on dollar devaluation.
Turned a few friends onto TSLA when it was $168/share before the 5-way split. There's still tons of room for that one too IMO.
1. Talk to your tax and financial advisors prior to investing in ETF/ETN.
You may owe taxes even if you lose money.
Let's say if you make $600k as a couple and get taxed unexpectedly on your ETF for $30k later feb of 2021
Then you are screwed and will be on different tax bracket .
This is very reason I do not do ETF unless i need to buy commodities etf.
2. Financial advisors are 7/66 and few simple designation passed guys. They can allocate assets effectively and know your tax implications and coordinate it with your tax attorney and tax advisors.
They are not a fund managers, fund analysts,financial/securities analyst.
BLNK went up 30something percent today. I missed out on that one.Quote:

Terrifying shit that will end in tears for retail investors.
Was surprised to see GME as easy to borrow. I?d short the piss out of it, but with 100% maintenance, I get better ROI and size with extreme OTM puts. Went long April $5 puts, targeting 350-400% if underlying drops to $20-40, with ~500% IVOL.
If Biden starts ramping up troops in Iraq and Syria any of the big defense companies would do. When air travel gets back to normal Boeing is going to start raking it in again, their stock has been hit pretty hard over the last year. He’s already hitting the oil industry so oil and gas prices are likely to rise so oil industry stocks may be something to watch. As covid rates decline through the spring and people begin traveling again airline and rental car stocks may get another bump as well as cruise line stocks when they begin sailing again. Tesla or other green energy stocks maybe..
A lot to think about, it could all tank as well, we haven’t had a good correction, recession or drop since the housing bubble, we are long over due. I don’t think I would consider the covid drop last spring a real market drop.
ABB, clean global tech with over a hundred years of operations.
swbi currently on the dip (smith and wesson) will do well after ER.
Maybe wb on any future dip (chinese twitter) will gradually do better under a commie-lover unless the economy falls out globally imho, may go private though. Other chinese stocks are also possibilities (Baba, sina, etc.)
AMC, double-wrapped dirty in-and-out single day trades until the retails explode.
And IDK what else...
I think we are near a peak but as long as you don't sell on dip. I am thinking China, solar (especially manufacturing) for the next 4 years will be hot. Am long on the below (a lot of very sketchy/risky stocks in "new" energy and evs, so caution should be used).

I guess I am confused how you make money on a $5 put when underlying drops above the strike price. Will the options value alone move that much?Quote:

Options value is usually described in terms of two factors; intrinsic value and extrinsic value. Intrinsic value of the option, as you surmise, is zero. Extrinsic value, though, is sometimes called the "time premium" and represents that portion of the option's value related to the probability that the option *could* end up ITM.Quote:

My $5 put will never be worth more than $5. That's fine, when I bought it for $0.50.
Outside of my professional commodities experience, I have never intentionally taken an option to exercise.

Usually they have those advanced options trading, but you ended up buying more and more and more options for stretegy. It is like similar to DCA. someone fk up and bought it at 52week high, and they buy more shares of xyz shares to lower the % of loss.
When GME was high 300s, buying GME PUT was a freebee. There is no way I am going to skip on feb Put 350. Spent about 52, but it was well worth it.
Remember, more complexed/advanced Options trading strategy, more $$$ spend on premiums.
3 reasons I will buy options.
1. Constantly reaching 52week high or 52 week low. I am not in hell is going to pay investment income on large amount of shares. and I invest/long term position trade based on cap gain. So, I know I will be holding the stock for less than 52wk. I buy options.
2. I know for sure it will go up or down, and I need to make money on movement.
3. I need to protect my shares from falling, and I need to keep it for 52weeks. I am sure it will be losses for sure, but I am not going to cash in early for tax hit. I just buy options as an insurance to protect the shares.
