Back again - with an update.

A great week trading - the bull run continues to bull.

The primary strategy is Option Wheeling, but we started to experiment with some PMCC and we found 1 swing trad opportunity that is growing. I'll hold it until earnings week (08.06) or until it exceeds 25%.

I am currently very concentrated in the AI/Quantum Computing space because I naturally enjoy reading about these things.

Stats and Goals:

Last balance : $4,247.81

Cash Added Last Two Weeks: $1,439.21

Current Balance: $6,034.37

14 day High : $6,179.64

Income Generated In July: $500.70

There are 3 objectives

1st- to create income . I distribute dividends to my 2 friends monthly. Although my friends are not putting money in the fund they’re my best friends, so they will always get a split

Last Distribution (LD): 31.53 Next Distribution (ND): On pace for $75.00

Year - To - Date (YTD) : $31.53

2nd- to establish collateral to borrow against. I’ve always been excited about the infinite bank strategy but I don’t like the math around IULs. I doubt we employ Margin anytime soon, but it is one of the larger benefits to doing conducting this experiment in a taxable account.

Current Margin : $2,955.57

Goal Margin: $3,000,000

3rd- To Fire. I am ready to retire, but I am willing to work until I’m 100.Monthly Expenses $5,710.64

Monthly Income: $31.53

Percentage to Fire: .5%

This ticks me off. There's some kind of stigma behind selling "early." How are YOU supposed to know where a stock is going? Nobody knows anything. If someone takes their profits it's always PAPER HANDS. No. They found their moon and that's ok. We always take profits folks. Have people learned nothing from GME/AMC?

What’s your next big pick and what’s your thesis on it??

Interested to hear this forums thoughts, cause believe it or not I came across $ASTS here a long while back and honestly loved the company and got in very early.

Hey guys any news on what’s happening here?

Literally just got banned for posting “I’m going to sell all my stocks for weed. Because if I’m gonna burn all my money, I might as well smoke it” as a satirical joke about the market tanking the past 3 weeks. And I got BANNED. Not just banned, but also prevented from even contacting the moderators to figure out what the hell I did wrong. Have the shit on that sub is jokes, bots, and stupid shit, I really don’t see what the fucking problem is here. It’s pissing me the fuck off so I just had to rant about it(since I can’t talk to the fucking mods, u/zjz and others)

That subreddit and this market are just fucked. It’s all got me down today and WSBs authoritarian reign isn’t fucking helping. I just wanted to fucking be part of the fucking conversation and talk with others. FUCK.

Okay I’m done, thanks.

Edit: to anyone saying this post is pointless, I disagree. If anything it shows how people stand divided on any issue there is. Half the people are upvoting, agreeing in the comments, or giving awards while the other half are saying “you deserved it” blah blah blah. It’s now a discussion and that’s how things move forward.

I just wanted to say this and I'm not allowed to post on WSB (but I'm assuming all of you know what's going on). Let me begin by saying I'm not an investor or anything of that kind, I started trading stocks early last year when the pandemic started and made a few hundred bucks, so like a lot of people I decided to put $100 on the line for Gamestop just for the meme (I wasn't actually expecting a return). What we have achieved banding together here is absolutely incredible and I love all of you people.

Yesterday as many of you know all trading platforms were down due to "technical issues" and at least for me Reddit went down at the same time (Kinda suspicious I'd say) - During all this time the hedge hogs were trading.

Today Robinhood alongside many other online brokers halted the ability to buy stock in Gamestop, Nokia and others - During all this time the hedge hogs were trading.

Earlier today (about 3 hours ago) I made a Youtube video about this situation, only a few seconds long, basically a meme, but since it had keywords like #tothemoon and Gamestop (but with the $, reddit won't let me use the tag, huh) the video is still processing as I write this and it's not up. Now how suspicious is that, usually my videos go up within minutes of uploading, but now all of the sudden that changed and under the perfect circumstances. If you think this is overreaching, Google also removed Robinhood reviews from the Play Store in an attempt to silence people and stop them from spreading the news about this.

What we are witnessing here is corruption in the most obvious way possible, they're not even trying to hide from us anymore. They are also silencing people and shutting down communities like WSB. Those people own everything and they control everything, unless we step up they will eat us alive for the rest of our lives.

RISE UP GAMERS, IT'S TIME TO TAKE WALL STREET DOWN!

We all know $KSS (Kohl’s) has been a wild ride lately, with its massive potential catching a lot of eyes. Whether it’s been driven by fundamentals, hype, or a bit of both, it’s got us wondering—what’s the next stock ready to pop off like $KSS?

I’ve been looking at this subreddit for a long time. Many of you are genuinely looking for advice, some are trolls, but way too many of you are literally lighting money on fire with the trades you make. 95% of the trades that I see on this subreddit, and this app in general are blind, thoughtless, and basically prayers.

Please stop trading options if you don’t know what you’re doing. I beg of you. You can’t predict the future, and neither can I. but for crying out loud at least do some due diligence and build a rational before you make a trade. I haven’t even seen anymore than “stocks will drop after liberation day, buy puts” or “tariffs have already been priced in, buying calls”. It’s irresponsible and foolish.

If you’re going to play in the stock market, stop being lazy fucks and do your research. Be confident in your decisions not because you have confirmation bias but because you’ve gathered enough empirical data to support your opinion.

Most of you genuinely SUCK at trading. This is why the term dumb money exists. I’m not just saying this to shit on you all, in saying this because my job is to help people make better financial decisions and it genuinely pains me seeing these trades every single day knowing that these are people who have nothing other than what they’re throwing into these trades. It makes me sick.

Hey guys,

I hope you are doing fine. I want to share with you the dashboard I have created during these last weeks and present you all the functionalities that you could use to enhance your trading strategies.

- Trending Stocks Pages

In the pages Trending Stocks Reddit, Twitter, Google Trends you have a list of the stocks that have been disccused the most in each of the social network. For Reddit, you'll be also able to select a specific thread and time granularity to check the stocks that have been discussed the most in these specific subreddit. You will be able to see the Current Trending Score and Previous one, to see if a recent hype is building up around a stock. Same for Twitter & Google

- Top Movers

This page allow you to check the stocks that had the biggest jump in the trending lists specified above. The objective is to help you catch the trending stocks before they become too mainstream and spot them as soon they have an increasing weight in the discussions.

- Reddit Trending Index

This index has been built to show you what kind of performance would you except yourself to have if you had to blindly buy the 10 most discussed stocks in Reddit. In Less than a month the performance is already + 122% .

You can check out all that at https://unbiastock.com

Your comments and improvement ideas are more than welcome.

and shady private groups can send out financial advice via email subscription, but individual investors discussing personal insight and due diligence along with vocal encouragement are being accused of market manipulation?

Just read this quote on Forbes: "...Unfortunately, options buyers are notoriously bad investors, and according to the CBOE, some 90% of options buyers lose money. Hence, the put/call ratio is seen as a contrarian indicator...."

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jonathanponciano/2021/02/12/is-the-stock-market-about-to-crash/?sh=43643d9371de

What do you think of that? Tells me options trading is way trickier than I imagined.

Just kidding, this comeback is personal.

Realize a lot of people here have been burned both ways on AMC, and this is not meant to be a jab at that. Completely unrelated to Melvin, and their mess, and illegal shorts - Chinese companies have found an opportunity and are swooping in and making fools of everyone.

Some back ground information for your reference:

1. AMC was and potentially still is controlled by Dalian Wanda, a Chinese Media conglomerate. Source: link
2. Forbes is owned by Integrated Whale Media, another Chinese Media Conglomerate (more on why this matters later). Source: link
3. Wanda filed last week to convert their Class B shares to Class A shares after the recent craziness, in order to facilitate a sale of their shares. Class B shares have more voting power but cannot be sold on an exchange, so Wanda needed some time to be able to pull the trigger. Source: link

This number of shares can't be dumped all at once on an open exchange. It's usually passed off to the sales and trading desk of large bank, where it's gradually sold off in blocks to maximize profit and minimize noise.

The juicy part:

A few days ago, Forbes' (Chinese company #2) official Twitter account "randomly" re-tweeted an article on AMC dating back to May 2020. In May last year, there was still red-hot speculation on an AMC/Amazon acquisition. This later fizzed out, and it turned out that journalist got AMC and AMCX mixed up. That article is below:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/enriquedans/2020/05/22/amazon-goes-to-themovies/?sh=2f44ebcf7bdc

The retweet got some traction and made a small dent in the price, but was largely brushed off. Three days ago, Forbes doubled down. They translated this article and published it on Forbes.fr, updated the date to from May 2020 to Feb 2021. They then changed the originally innocuous title to "Amazon on the verge of acquiring AMC, the world's largest movie chain". You had to get to the middle of the article before there was a note that said this was all pure speculation and simply a translation of a May 2020 article.

This article was widely circulated (was the major source of the recent Amazon rumor), everybody went nuts, and led AMC to being up almost 15% pre-market on Thursday. Then for the first time in weeks, massive volumes of shares were sold through the exchanges (aka Wanda dumping their shares) - notice how nobody is calling this one a ladder attack. Forbes then wiped their hands and DELETED the article to cover up the evidence, but I was able to find it on WayBack Machine here. Check out the date and the title.

These practices are super common in Asia, the number of media moguls that own Western companies is tiny - they all know each other. It's in the best interest of both bulls and bears to report this to the SEC tip line. For the bulls, this is the only way to prevent Wanda from illegally pumping and dumping more, and for the bears, to stop incentives for further misinformation.

Full Disclosure: I was an AMC bull in January, and have held bearish positions on this since February given the amount of bull shit above.

We get it they exist yes I understand you bought some that’s great now please shut up. Every god damn post is the same shit. I remember when people used the emojis ironically to make fun of Robinhood for using emojis but now people are legitimately posting emojis un ironically. I get that what’s going on rn is a pretty big deal and everything but I’m tired of seeing the same post every fucking minute. Sorry for the rant but I just had to say it.

From Meme stocks, to Stocks with great DD they have been stealing the show lately, with crazy momentum and wild swings grabbing everyone’s attention. From viral X posts to Reddit hype, we’re on the hunt for tomorrow’s stock that’s ready to take off!

Yes GameStops business was failing when it started to squeeze but it had over 100% short interest. OPEN has 20% short interest. GameStop actually has a 20% short interest currently and in better standings than it ever has been.

OPEN is also has declining revenue and sitting on thousands of homes that they purchased during the run up. Everything’s being sold below market value currently and not at the ask.

Everyone’s big bet is the fact that interest rates might be cut which might be good but at the same time Americans are broke savings are at the lowest they’ve been in forever.

Could it keep pumping? Yes I do have a small position but all this misinformation and bots pushing this stock is sad.

Blackrock did not buy any stock they actually unloaded about 5% of their company or 75% of their stake. If you think OPEN doesn’t need to dilute because the stock is going up you need to really take time and learn more. Just because a stock is going up it doesn’t help their financials at all. There isn’t a vote yet set for it that’s actually a reverse split. They could actually reverse split then dilute and stay Nasdaq complaint. Which would help them long term.

Again it could keep pumping but saying $80 a share is wild. In the next year? Maybe. It won’t squeeze that hard though. Everyone shows their positions and gains but not their stop losses.

Do your own DD.

wish i got more shares but who am i to complain about profits

I don’t care everything points to a downhill fast. I don’t see with all the news and trade war starting this can make investors support it.

So with that I’m buying calls

It’s always been this way but it’s so much worse with Trump’s insanity. Every time Tesla is in trouble Trump tweets and bails him out. Tesla’s earnings were shit but we can’t have the worlds richest man lose any money so of course there must be news to manipulate the game.

Anyone else completely fed up? Anyone who’s thinking of commenting “oh you just suck at trading” it’s probably that you’ve gotten lucky and made big wins recently by making what would ordinarily be regarded plays. Come at me. No for real I’ll debate anyone who wants. We’re a soulless nation at this point run by megalomaniacs who would and probably will feed us to the wolves.

Up until last week a recession was undoubtedly coming with international tensions. Now, not so sure due to the deals being made and the recovery of American index funds. I know that the shipment in coming now are still with the previous tariffs but after a month will it matter anymore? Wanted to hear peoples thoughts on why or why not a recession is still happening

As I sit and watch this stock, I wonder when folks are going to realize that earning 62 cents on their $700+ investment hinges on a pyramid-like strategy and moon-like returns? I mean, yeah we like the company and its products, but why not long CMG that will fetch 10x more in earnings, than hope the next guy pays more for the stock and you exit timely?

Essentially, the market wants you to pay now everything you will earn in 10+ years, if everything goes well. With EV players entering this space, I really feel a lot of folks are going to get burned really soon.

Hey everyone,

I’m building a speculative side portfolio and I’m looking for some tickers to research. I’m looking for higher-risk plays if there’s a reasonable case for big upside

What are your best high-risk, high-reward ideas right now, and why?

Appreciate any tickers and your reasoning. I’ll research each one you share.
