TRCH - Anyone in this?

As it relates to O&G, I would not touch it with a 10-ft pole, but I think the play is that they are merging with some tech company and pumpers are making a case the merging co is in talks with TSLA on some type of deal. I haven't done enough DD on it.

Do you think when the Reddit guys were mentioning CLOV a few weeks ago they actually meant CLVS?

I'm in it ATM and it's way down. I think if the renewables, EV market abs Bitcoin shoots back up it will ride that wave. But it's dirt cheap atm

So calendars are really mystical to me, almost like how can you lose money? Unless you have massive iv crush or gamma risk holding the short too close to expiration.

Help me out with this idea. Buy a far otm call leap on a stock at historically low IV, then sell monthly calls at that strike. Invariably theta will win and eventually IV will spike causing your leap to spike.

What am I not seeing?

I'm not sure, but every time I think I have identified a "can't lose" strategy and tried it, the flaw in my thinking has become rapidly apparent!

Anyone else missing the TSNP(D) stock? Does it take a day off or something when splitting? Nowhere in my portfolio that I can see.

Getting tempted to reload WWR again. I honestly didn't think it would ever touch the 5s again.

Thanks. Know little amounts about the company really just looking at the charts and seeing the chatter.

In it and it shows as TSNPD for me in Active Trader Pro.

They're going to force me to load up PLTR in an unreasonable way aren't they?

---

Wondering if their is a shares/covered calls then an options play here. Straight calls, vertical, etc.

---

FWIW the PLTR subreddit tested the link and agrees its likely legit, but to what end who knows.

This URL redirects to Midway, which is the internal authentication system for Amazon employees. That means it's not just that Palantir is an AWS customer, but they're integrating their software with Amazon's internal services.

A lookup of amazon.dev with https://lookup.icann.org/lookup tells us that Amazon indeed owns this domain name, so it's a legit URL.

---

If ultimately true and something in the works here, this will send PLTR to the moon.

---

I'm going to use the Twitterverse to figure it out.

Anyone else's micro-lottery stocks getting pummeled this morning?

That being said, this dude says otherwise

General comments:

MA Stocks- My general plan has not changed and will continue to add some slowly. WWR seems to be a common example for most and being in the 5s is tempting to load the boat. Underlying conditions could drive this lower so I have just set limit orders at various levels in the 5s. DPW, DNN, EBON, and others fall in the same

Hedging- Look forward to additional feedback from Foggy, FJ, and 30k on this as I still feel pretty green on the hedges. I bought SPY and QQQ puts for March earlier in the year when many were projecting a possible correction in the Feb/March timeframe (a few UVXY June calls at $10 strike). Have shares on UVXY, SQQQ, and SDOW but I have been hesitant to sell CCs on UVXY in the event of a huge spike on a larger correction.

I have not completely separated my "day trading/swing trading vs. MA stocks" between various accounts so I have to take things with a grain of salt. Some positions are down, but they simply look down on my app. Most MA plays and short term swings are still up relative to my cost average. Hard for many to see blood in the water and wake up to see drops here and there... guilty myself. However, I have significantly decreased short term call options

Times like this keep you humble and make you look harder at your positions to see where you can improve, trim, lower cost average (buying dips, selling puts, etc.), or exiting certain positions.

GENERAL QUESTIONS

• Are there certain companies that anyone believes have been holding well this week?
• Are there any LEAP plays that are looking attractive to the group?
• Any attractive cash covered puts on the weekly or monthly that are pretty juiced at this point?

I

RKT approaching model T (50% retrace to around $22) after overnight gap up move. In case anyone wants to play good earnings and special dividend news ($1.10/sh for holders on 03/09/21).

PTMN

Portman Ridge Finance Corp.

Pretty flat.

I've been this way lately. Although, I'd say I'm heavy tech more than anything. More of an investment strategy vs. trading.

Limits returns but also limits risk. Once Joe took office I was afraid of a correction so I decided to play it safe until the dust settles.

Expensive plays, but Marc Cohodes has been pounding the table on CWH and OSTK. Would love to buy LEAPs in those if we get a major macro correction

I'm in the May PLL vertical mentioned last night

i know this sounds stupid...

but I just signed up to start level 1 options.....

why is it that some stocks only have options one date a month like CLOV and WWR and others look to be several times a month?

And we crater.... Just get it over with.

Good question. I have always been curious how it's decided it a stock has options. I always thought it was based on volume.

Thanks and I will have to look into PTMN. I think 30k or someone else posted something about IVR a few days back. I was in this for the better part of 9 plus month and it just chopped on me with little upside opportunity to lower basis through puts and CCs. I got out of that position to allocate more funds to some MAs, but still think IVR has merit. IVR has held up pretty well this week.

First test of SPX 3825 with initial bounce just like yesterday; see if it holds or we try 3815 again...

I see things, and understand bits of it. But then when I think I understand something, Lucy pulls the ball again.

Based on volume. Requests are made to cboe to list options on stocks. If enough desire, they'll list options.

and here we go testing 3815 on deck now...
