OK, how are we thinking the Houthi react to getting bombed? How do we profit?

What's going to happen in the next episode of /smg/?

Whining about it won’t get you your money back. Don’t do options if you can’t handle the volatility or make sound decisions about your entry points

So what would you suggest I do now? I'm down 500 bucks all time. Started trading mid November.
Down 700 bucks if counting options alone.

How do I ignore these two facts, and still get rich with the measly amount I have? (17k)

The word you're looking for is "tuition."
You've learned, take notes, don't repeat what cost you money.

>>57263802
>Do you not have some intrinsic sense of recursion that prevents you from doing this?
Well I don't increase the amount I gamble with obviously, so far I haven't ever spent more than 500 bucks on an option. So there's not really recursion there, my hope is basically that one option strikes and I'll be in the green again. All I need is one measly 300% on 300 bucks and that's it

I WAS UP OVER 1500 ON THIS PUT AND THE FUCKING ECONOMY DECIDED TO HEAL FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK

>>57263830
>I need to keep gambling because I lost money gambling
This is a recursive step. There is recursion.

>>57263830
Yeah bro, it's simple, just find a 10 bagger and you'll be back in the game in no time.

Take it as a learning experience. It sucks losing money but it happens to all traders at some point. Relative to your portfolio size this really isn’t the end of the world. Since you’re new to trading anyway your probably shouldn’t be using derivatives or margin, might want to disable those on your account

>>57263897
If you learn enough from it then it's actually a pretty good deal. I've lost way more than that before making mistakes.
You need to recognize that you've spent the money and it's not coming back though.

>>57263925
In my first year of trading I lost half my account ~$4k on a gold mining penny stock. I had no idea what I was doing at the time and took it as a message that I needed to do my homework. Now I’m at the point where the only thing I have in my portfolio are LETFs and SPY/QQQ options and am able to regulate my emotions when I have large drawdowns just fine. If you want to stick with options it really is just a thing of learning to harden your emotions because you’re going to take huge hits from time to time no matter how good you are

>>57263997

>>57264013
I have a weird way of looking at it which is I try to achieve at least .25% daily compounding total portfolio growth, this works out to about an 87% yearly return. I then enter all my options trades at strike/expiries that I think should achieve this rate. As a whole I’ve outperformed my targets but during downtrends these returns can vary wildly and it’s not uncommon for my entire portfolio to swing 10-20% in either direction in a given week

True, but that was only for like a week. Who knows when the fuck this'll end.

>There are also multiple navies from multiple countries being routed to protect against pirates. Not sure why you think there'd be a dent in anything.
Insurance premiums are already forcing most western container ships to route around Africa instead. Good for eating up spare capacity that was weighing the stocks down, not so good for inflation.

>>57264013
>>57264150
I’ll also say that learning how to roll options if super important for not blowing up your account. Buying itm calls and then rolling them out/higher once you’re up a target percentage will help protect you in case the trade moves against you

Around 2019 I once went into NDX100 leveraged as fuck, I think 50x, just betting that it would go up. Then a microcrash happened that fucked me in the ass and almost had me liquidated, so I had to put more money to get enough margin. I managed to not be liquidated, but didn't see a good way out and I had to pay interest daily, so I exited with a loss of around 5k, when my networth was less than 50. NDX100 then recovered quickly, after a day or two, and I would have made some thousands.

They do give you up to 100x leverage on some stuff though, so the gun is there if you want to shoot yourself in the foot.

When I moved to the US they had me liquidate my account as they are not licensed to operate here, which also caused me to lose a bunch of money.

I'm just waiting for long duration treasuries to spike up above the FED funds, because: government spending is very high and the treasury is issuing them like there's no tomorrow, less buying of treasuries by foreign governments , economy is hot, inflation is creeping back in etc... many different reasons for bonds to keep selling off and yields to rise.

Yep, I think yields are going to bottom soon unless there's a black swan and continue higher after that, the fiscal situation is abysmal, and the FED isn't buying the debt, a recipe for a spike in interest rates.

But I smoke them 3 puffs at a time and put them out and put them back into my cigarette carton. A pack lasts me months. I'm using nicotine as a Huberman nootropic but it's not enough to impact the bottom lines of American Spirit nah mean.

Every time there is a potential energy supply shock markets collapse to create an artificial demand drop. Commodity bulls are dumb. Uranium will never be used in a way to pump your bags. You need a demand spike against supply shortage to happen to get rich. TPTB will never let this happen out of mad max fear.

I want on an oil rig in texas so yeah i know thats not the difference. it could be a production change but thats not a rig change then. highly doubt xom developed a new technique though. theyre probably just focusing on the higher producing areas.

I know you work on a rig, but you work for a nigger producer and not XOM. He specifically stated they had developed new techniques they would be integrating into PXD. What's highly doubtful is he would say that shit on TV just bullshitting.

Another day. Been working overtime. On occasion it happens. Rare. When it comes up I grab it. More green in my pocket and it gives me some additional time to use if I need to take off. House is uh not even 15 min from the office so it's not like the extra time would kill me or nothing.

It's within $2 of 52 week low, now would be a good time to start DCAing, but it can still go a good bit lower so do not go in a lot at once. If you just want to buy *oil* then start with USO. XOM is oil and gas and so much more, integrated.

Everyone and their mother knows rates are going down this year. Won't that mean everyone is buying therefore PRICE goes fuckin up? So best time to buy real fuckin estate is .. now?

>>57266524
have you tried looking at the DXY before making a bet?
https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/index/dxy
that chart basically topped out around Oct 2023 and signaled incoming dollar weakness going into Nov-Dec. but of course i wasn't paying attention and this could just be hindsight bias.

also cross-reference with sqqq chart:
https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=SQQQ&p=d

and then finally, zooming out and checking SPY against the SMAs
https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=SPY&ty=c&ta=1&p=m

(it was supported by sma-50, it was a sell any time it was too high above the sma-20). its now about to test the 2022 high of 480.

had i done all of the above and hyper-focused in 2023, i'd be lounging in a vegas hot tub right now with a sexy lady on the bed.

>>57266443
On God frfr no cap?

>>57266564
yeah that has happened to me with individual stocks back in 2020-2021, when i was going long. i basically got mad, left and stopped posting in /smg/ entirely. now i'm just here to mess around and pass time.

I would have to say the best advice I can give is don't be betting on a sure thing with options. Just don't. Hold the underlying or find something else.

>>57266571
don't know how much rates will be going down by, maybe. also don't know how much toxic debt banks are holding which can blow-up and cause another crisis like last year. next earnings cycle will be interesting. feels like the consoomer is tapped out and retail spending was lower this holiday season. more funds being focused on food/necessities. stocks already at highs, would you wanna keep buying at such highs?

zillow looks cheap if you zoom out.

there's a general unease in the air because various countries including the U.S. don't really have trustworthy leadership. people don't wanna get rugged.

>>57266582
the time factor is what makes options incredibly difficult as opposed to just shorting or going long. if i can do everything over again i would have two portfolios in two separate accounts, one long and one short. of course it would've been more of a pain in the ass in situations where i would need all funds accessible in one account to dca down but then again i should have enough $ in one bank acct to keep adding more, and have a long enough time horizon to not rush into buying or shorting more.

with options, just waking up late one day can fuck everything up. it's basically turbo-gambling. worse than crypto. but with options there's 10x, 20x opportunties every day, every week. believe it or not i just saw a 10x move in MCD between that tight little 287-290 just last week and was kicking myself for missing it.

the proper way to do it is to hold stock then hedge with calls to avoid being rekt but retards here just want to get rich in 1 day so they go full macau with their retirement funds

I've been mostly a long term investor. I just keep assuming a gamble here or a couple trades might speed up the process a little. I don't have a lot of information to make a decision sometimes. But I have learned that the results can just as easily be slower growth.

But in any case I already mapped out the pessimistic path 1 and path 2 into this year and sold a large chunk of BOIL from when I got in at 24-25. Now I'm waiting for the next trigger with aussie coal and the WTI Crude to Henry Hub ratio dropping below 17.

Is it worthwhile going long on XOM or should I look elsewhere

>>57266844
Yeah that was right at the beginning of the long rug pull. It would have been ok were it not for ETF contract roll and volatility decay fuckin up being able to hold through. I got out around 2.88.

Do you invest in passive stocks or just gamble heavily?

Buy UNG, buy MCHI, hold megacap tech and buy financial stocks on literally every dip.

yeah you can't f* around with mistiming BOIL and KOLD. you gotta make sure there's a good trend or get chopped to death by the bipolar weather updates per day by US and Euro weather agencies.
