I'm going to be completely honest with everyone on this board. Doing it ain't easy.

My wife and I moved out of the Houston area with 3 kids. From a 5A school to a 2A school.

I still work full time e and the wife only works two days a week. We are growing a small farm and providing our own food in the mean time.

Everyday is a new set of challenges. Everyday brings opportunity for a new lesson. Weekends are filled up with projects. But I go to bed completely exhausted.

I wouldn't change it for anything though. If it's itching, go and see what it's about. It ain't easy but I wouldn't have it any other way.
I would agree with Spoony, but with a little different perspective. I am from a small town; moving to College Station was the big city for me and the first time I had air conditioning and cable TV. I now live on some land my parents bought about the time I was born. Today I worked on the lawn mower, mowed the pasture with the bush hog, worked on the fence for the cows, fed the horses, picked vegetables from the garden, fed the chickens and gathered eggs. Then I jumped on the 4 wheeler and drove through the pasture to my mom and dad's to sit with them on their porch overlooking their pond. And picked up the two granddaughters to eat popsicles with me on the way. Ended the day sitting by the pool watching the sunset with bats flying overhead. For me, it was pretty much perfect. But if you grew up in Dallas or Houston, it will be a major adjustment. Shopping is pretty much Walmart and Amazon. The nightlife is looking at the stars. The work is pretty much 365 days a year if you have animals. And unless you are big enough for employees or have friends or family to tend them when you are gone, it means travel is a big deal. But I wouldn't live any other way.

I enjoy our weekend philosophical discussions. I like to read others dreams and hopes, because why do we do any of this except to make our lives richer, not just our pocketbooks.

I appreciate the wisdom in that statement of "chasing the dollar".

Picked up learning more about this because I'm a perpetual learner and I think it is being a good steward of the gifts given to me.

I feed on every little morsel I can learn from the experience on this thread.

First way too cool.

Door off a wood burning stove possibly they used for heat and cooking?

Does anyone have any insight on Triterras (TRIT)? I know they have had issues producing their earnings report and are in the sights of the NASDAQ people for negative reasonsbut this is a company with disruptive technology in the FinTech world. If that earnings report is good and they get cleared, this company could pump. Humongous risk but enormous potential.

Small float, high short interest, small cap/micro cap company. Get a feeling this one could be primed for a squeeze, too.

And one of my recent long term holds is called KLIC. Semiconductor play with good upside. Recently exited a cup and handle but fell back a good bit. 1 yr PT is currently 25-35% away from current price.


You pretty much nailed in on TRIT. High risk high reward hold for me now. Small position, about the same as I have in MBIO. 4% of active taxable investment account. I sell some covered calls on it occasionally and have sold some puts to get my cost down but just letting it sit for now. I've considered bailing but still holding for now. Pure spec play, hero or zero. Has potential to move exponentially either way.

Just sharing my success with the thread on a Sunday morning. I attribute most of this to lessons from OA1, FJ, and $30K.

Currently sitting at a 17% return (34% if annualized).

Successes:

Selling 7-14 DTE puts on strong underlying companies with good dividends that I would own long term to get even in the case of a fall. Generally look at 1SD delta.

Watching larger volume stocks (and SPY/QQQ) for when it hits ATR -3/+3 on the monthly. Generally will enter a call, put, or debit spread 45 DTE and wait for the reversion towards the mean. This generates way more opportunities than I thought it would due to short term buying and selling in the market.

Failures:

Iron Condors on SPY and QQQ. Had built significant profit selling them at 45 DTE/90% delta and then closing 10-14 days later at 25% profit. Just had several blown up wiping out any gains on these and then some. Re-evaluating here.

Anything meme stock related. Lost a lot FOMOing and then trying to "predict" any movement with these. Too volatile for my liking.

Trying to time the market on a weekly basis. This results in losses for me and I do much better just going out to 45 days to give it more time to revert.

Just a success story from this thread and I hope all the contributors here know how much it is appreciated.

doesn't open, at least not easily. One small rusted bolt in the middle of it holding the 2 pieces together - they move a bit but because the bolts dead center it doesn't really open to be able to see inside

30K brought this to my attention and had a chance to poke around in their website this weekend.

I haven't been taking anything long other than MA stocks recently but I am going to give this one a whirl Monday.

While its been the popular thing to trade recently the RR long looks good to me. Below EMAs here but I am willing to give it a go long.

Plan to buy shares, possibly buy/write and buy Jan or Dec 22' calls. Can always buy shares and risk off below 10.25 or about 9.50.

Currently 11.14

WISH

-1 ATR
Support looks to be solid at 10.25
Lower support around 7.65
MT about 20.18

I just can't figure out what the end game is on SPCE. there's only so many people willing to throw a quarter million for a 10 minute joy ride with two minutes of weightlessness. and I say that as a space but who would definitely do it if I had that kind of coin laying around.

Unless they are able to figure out a way to drive down the cost of travel substantially it just seems like a finite market.

so my pool has too high of a cyanuric acid content and watching that thing drain to dilute it is like watching paint dry, so time for charts.

On Macros, I have nothing unique beyond what Mancini is saying. I think he's right on his options:
  • parabolic if we charge through 4400, target 4700
  • pullback at 4400 (most likely scenario, but likely just to consolidate)
  • Rejection somewhere and push to bottom of trend line before resuming up

SPX 4280 is a line in the sand at this point. Here is a daily / weekly ATR view. On technicals, this is not a place to take a long, but we are defying logic. Just be nimble.

$AMZN - I suspect this has made most of it's move. I am going to watch for continued strength. If we push into about 3850, I will probably sell a 4000/4200 call credit spread.
