The Rokslide Stock Traders Thread

So ftx users who had their crypto in a cold Wallet we’re effectively not impacted as they could just put the money back into a different hot wallet?

Thanks. Starting to make a little more sense.

Any users who had assets in their hot wallets on an exchange which collapsed (FTX, Celsius, BlockFi) lost access to those assets. Any that moved their assets to their cold wallet were good to go.

Your crypto should only be on an exchange if you are actively trading/transacting it otherwise it needs to be on the cold wallet that is locked in your safe with your firearms.

That simple.

I typically do options trading... particularly selling options. Been doing very well selling 1SD iron condors the day before earnings on stocks with weekly options!

Same here Dillan. I only sell. ICs and Flies. All of mine are mechanical every day though. Same bat time, same bat place. LOL

I just started with about $1200 in an account mid summer and have grown to ~$16,000. How have your results been? And how do you choose your underlying and DTE?
 
Options are a zero sum game. Know them. Be able to put on an options trade but spending time learning and trading options is time that could have been used just doing fundamental research and picking winners and then watching them run…the roi on time is much greater when you find 3 names that have legs and put up all your gains for the year vs. swing trading options.

Sure if you own the underlying and can collect premium by writing covered calls or if you want to go long a name and meanwhile you’re willing to sell naked puts, that’s fine.

But since I know nobody doing well, wether it be luck or skill, likes to listen to other people talk about their strategy’s short comings, I posted a link to a pdf that I used as a framework when I dabbled around in the options game. PM me if you want a pdf copy

 
Options are a zero sum game across ALL traders. Tons of people make money with options long term. Like years and years long term.

Lots more lose their butt though. Those that lose see options as only leverage. Those that win learn how the Greeks work and trade the Greeks.

Backtesting and then live testing small to make sure the actual trades match the backtests over time. Only then do I scale up.

I use Option Omega for backtesting. It’s pay but made me more in the first weekend using it to tweak my trades than 10 years of subscription costs.

All of my trades are 1 or 0dte. I have had a lot of success with significantly longer (45-120dte) futures/commodities options but I got tired of the big account swings and just prefer being “done” when the bell rings. I total up my day and move on.


Choosing underlying… I only trade things that are eligible for Section 1256 tax treatment.

I let you cry on my shoulder if I can cry on yours?

Is there much difference between the exchanges in your opinion?

Coinbase seems to be the most popular or at least the biggest? Assuming everything is moved to a cold wallet at some point does it really matter which exchange someone uses?

CB is probably the largest exchange being used in the US. The real difference between exchanges is the spot price, it can vary, and if there is a delay period to withdraw the assets. Some cold wallets have their own exchanges as well.

Amazon is carrying my portfolio. I'm 29 so longer-term holds for me and hard to beat considering the stock is up about 70% on the year. Makes it tough to stick money elsewhere.

Buy what you use.... And the wife sure uses it lol

I read about SGMT somewhere not long ago (may have been in this thread?). Been watching it last few weeks. Just went public in mid July. Closed at $12.14 today. 12 month price target is $43+
Anyone jumping on board?
Closed at $2.23 yesterday after 3rd qtr financials were released. I've got a price target at $32 on my position. Just trying to hold strong for hopefully good results from their trials after 1st qtr 2024
 
Sweden just announced they are changing their renewable energy program to focus on nuclear. Finally, someone is doing the math and they realized that all renewables are not viable.

Has anyone researched nuclear power as an investment?

I’ve played with uranium over the years and it’s a volatile, commodity subject to manipulation. I looked at NuScale symbol is SMR, that just got approved by the department of energy, but it appears they have not sold any of these Small nuclear reactors.

I think this is the wave of the future but I just don’t have a good clear-cut way of investing in it
Turns out SMR was not a good way of investing in it 🤣

Fortunately I didn't put much money there.

I do think nuclear is going to have to make some sort of comeback but also not sure how to invest in it and also what the timing of it is... If NuScale was the only one with an approved design it could be awhile before someone else is actually building one....
 
Dumped a pile into HE, might take a minute but hoping it pays off.
I wish I bought more when they hit single digit. It's possible they drop again due to everything fire related still pending any litigation. But definitely a long term play. I made the same play on PG&E a few years ago
 
Potential buying opportunities incoming.

OXY, TALO, WTI


I did real well picking up BP after the Deepwater Horizon leak and AMPY after their leak.

I'll be adding them to my watch list and looking for bottoms in the coming weeks.
