Cars are one of the biggest headaches of the usa and act to drain workers of their money. A new car for me costs $1000 a month to cover the purchase of the car, mandatory insurance, as well as the taxes on the vehicles value.

Just bought 34 $4 GALT contracts, this is like 4.5% of my portfolio, how fucked am I?

our whole economy is car centric. america is car centric to a debilitating degree. it's an artifical handicap

>>60527914
Yeah, there should not be so many 60k+ cars on the street. Americans median household income is only $110k. That is why during GFC, many preowned luxury vehicles hit the market.

For those that need direction, consider SPY 07/03 $600 calls, thank me later.

How did it go this week!?!?

>>60528013
maybe hes talking about long term qualified dividends counting as long term gains instead of short term?

>>60528044
think I broke even over the week. over the day my anus is sad

>>60528048
Do euros even have different taxation for long term gains?

>>60528013

>>60528044

-1.1% for the week

I have a bad feeling about this whole thing

>>60527949
Like with any biotech, it's a lottery ticket.

Galectin Therapeutics is in Phase 2/3 in a clinical trial for treatment of MASH w/o esophageal varices (think varicose veins but in the esophagus). It does not work in patients who are so far gone that their esophagus is about to blow open and the patient bleeds to death. It's supposed to prevent those blood vessels from getting that large in the first place. The market is huge because it generally requires being a fat fuck to get that disease.

The study completes 2025-09-30. If it fails, prepare for a massive dump that'll probably bankrupt the company. If it succeeds, it'll be the very first effective treatment against MASH cirrhosis, and essentially be the ozempic for people who are too far gone to benefit from ozempic.

Extremely high risk, questionable reward. Sounds like /smg/'s favorite type of stock.

When I sell a put or call and let it run to expiry, when on expiration day does it actually expire? The bell has rung for today am I good then? Or does options finish before or after bell?

>>60528044
-1.75% on the day and -6% overall

>>60528080
they dont expire at the bell. i know this because on liberation day, my covered calls would have whisked away my shares, but instead the whole market elevatored down and i woke up to be insanely deep in the red with the shares.

>>60528080
It depends on if you are trading ETFs (and which ones), or stocks (and which ones). Prices can change after the bell (after hours trading) before expiry. Generally for American style options on expiry day the options expire after the close of the regular trading session. I might be wrong, I do not think options prices for standard stocks keep changing after hours on expiration day, as I have not seen my prices changes during that time. It takes a day or two over the weekend for the brokerages to clear all the contracts and settle everything. Note the value of the option contract your have, and check back in your account Saturday, and if the option contract is still showing check back again Sunday afternoon and sit should be cleared by then. The first two or three times I traded options it took until Sunday afternoon to clear, now for some reason they clear by early Saturday morning (about 10 am when I check). Good job making some money, take it slow, learn to make money, slow and steady.

oh NOW galt recovers. cunts.

GALTbaggies are retarded
enjoy the dump in monday

>>60527926
its gonna be a long weekend of absolutely nothing at all happening

>>60527949
well did you finally sell those bags

>>60528142
was today not a dump?

>>60528044
up 13%. about 10% from my ATH.

i'm balls deep in calls. about 1k+ on sofi. rate cuts and ER is my shot to the moon

also lmao @ all the fintubers saying today was going to be a big move in either direction just because it's the "biggest options expiry event in history"
those clowns are wrong about everything
it was just a boring, mild red day. Even svix barely moved down.

>>60528070
so more like 4 months than 2 weeks

>>60528155
>it was just a boring, mild red day.
check CRLC and CRWV

>>60528100
>>60528126
Sounds like it could be a good idea to sacrifice 2-5% profit per contract if the stock price is close to strike then by closing out the position on expiration day rather than risk it being assigned.

In my case it was one PLTR put option at 137 strike. The last 5 minutes of trading day it kept bouncing around 137 but finally closed above so hoping I'm in the clear. Thanks bros.

When will Coreweaver ever stop? Surely it will snap back like rubber band.

>>60528155
its very interesting how they slowly turned their channel into "buy my classes"

>be a fintuber
>make videos about 'how to X'
>run out of what to teach
>make videos about stock picks
>repeat 'how to X' but on a different stock
>start selling classes and shilling on every video

whats funny is when they start getting sponsored to sell "stock" picks. I forget what channel but i thought that shit kind of shit is illegal.

>>60528160
>Sounds like it could be a good idea to sacrifice 2-5% profit per contract if the stock price is close to strike then by closing out the position on expiration day rather than risk it being assigned.
That is a choice you have, and you need to develop a feel for what YOU want to do. When I started I let them run though expiration (I was only dealing with small amount of money so I did not care) I wanted to see the whole process play out. Now I am playing with a bit more money and if in my opinion at that moment I feel like I have made enough money on a play I buy to close. Today, for entertainment I sold a call for CRWV for 300 to expire today. Price of the contract was falling quickly to about 98 so I figured I would just buy to close for a quck ~200 profit. I set a limit buy to close price of 100 but the stock price was moving up quickly so the contract price was moving up quickly and I ended up chasing it upwards to about $160 before I could exit. No big deal, just gaining more experience. You should know your limits/expectations and trade on that, like a business, there are always multiple factors at work and prices can move quickly. Since I closed the position I sold another call for next Friday, set a limit price of 900 and the price started falling again, I chased it down a bit and finally sold it 800. Volatile stocks can make you money but can cost you money quickly. So I say slow and steady, practice with small amounts so you can work the user interface quickly and buy/sell without mistakes and make money.

>>60528044
Up 9k this week

>>60528158
>so more like 4 months than 2 weeks
Yeah. Looking at the clinical trial data, the reason why their approach seems to consistently fail to yield results is mostly because they tried to aim for the most sickly patients that had no hope of being saved anyways. The median age is also old as hell, like around 49. They're finding more success in a preventative treatment rather than an outright cure.

The only conclusive result over their prior studies is that belapectin does no harm, or has negligible adverse effects. I think their primary issue is that they struggle to extract significantly statistically beneficial results, also in part due to taking on really risky patients in the first place that are decompensated and already have too many things wrong with them.

I think that's why their Phase 2/3 studies in their NAVIGATE trial is also extremely picky with who they allowed to trial. Out of 1100, they only have 357. Compared to their past studies, the qualifying criteria is a gigantic laundry list that rules out the really bad cases that could result in similar complications that was not primarily due to liver issues. This study actually started in 2020-06-22, so anyone who bought in early was not going to get a return on their investment for years anyways.

https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT04365868?term=%22Galectin%20Therapeutics%20Inc.%22&page=1&rank=1&tab=table

That's my extremely limited assessment of what I read through. Still super risky.

>>60528100
Thats why i always do a 1 cent limit order to close hedgies get the cent but you get peace of mind
if you arent doing cheapies it should be negligible

>>60528080
My understanding is that options are closed out on Saturday.

with how much money do you guys trade? how many trades a day/week do you make?

>>60528080
I think they can exercise a short time after the bell but if its OTM at close it's unlikely. I usually get an email at midnight confirming it expired/got assigned

>>60528254
>My understanding is that options are closed out on Saturday.
The contract buyer has about 15 to 30 minutes after the bell to decide to exercise or not. The seller is closed out at the bell. There are millions and millions of contracts bought and sold and it takes a lot of compute power and time to sort all that shit out. Some of my small ones cleared on a sunday, but now they seem to clear on Saturday.

>>60528263
I have 6 months expenses in my bank account and everything else goes into my "portfolio"
I send 10% into Bitcoin and the rest are into broad market ETFs
I only use 1% to pick stocks just for fun

I never rebalance out of Bitcoin. I send 10% in but I will never sell. So it might be a bigger chunk over time if it keeps growing.

>>60528242
>I think their primary issue is that they struggle to extract significantly statistically beneficial results
Anyone gambling on pharma really needs to understand this. It's actually incredibly hard beating placebos in clinical trials.

>>60528263
>how many trades a day/week do you make?
I consider myself small time. Most of my positions just sit for months/years. I trade some options depending on what I think certain stocks are doing. Sometimes 1x a week, sometimes 1x a day for 3-5x per week. I try only to move when it is clear to me I am most likely to make a decent amount. I have no problem taking days or weeks off. I do not want to trade all day.

>>60528282
>It's actually incredibly hard beating placebos
Are there any placebo stocks I can gamble on?

president cunt is going to start ww3 and nuke the market isn't he?

>>60528263
1 big weekly trade on 100k USD. I run the wheel and aim for a couple percent profit a week. Some weeks are better, some weeks are worse. For example, I got assigned a bunch of soxl last Friday at 21. Then I got to sell options for big premium when Soxl spiked to 22.20 on Monday. It then bled out back down to 21. It's been a good week. And if soxl opens sideways or down Monday that'll be even better.

>>60528282
Some of the richest people I know IRL made money from pharma.
I don't know why but apparently selling your relatively unknown company for a ridiculous amount seems quite common.

>>60528297
I should say: they made their money selling their companies. They didn't invest in publicly traded pharma companies.

>>60528291
>nuke the market
total global destruction is priced in

>>60528054
In Poortugal the default tax level for capital gains is 28%, but it can go down to 19.6% if you long-term hold (> 8 years).
But if you're in the highest tax bracket and do any sort of short-term trading (i.e. held for less than 1 year) you get taxed at something crazy like 48%.
Dividends are taxed at 28% but there are some tax shenanigans you can do if they come from EU companies, don't remember what they are exactly.

>>60528301
That's an important point. If you actually have a miracle drug, why dilute your stake by going public?

>>60528291
Yes, but in 2 more weeks, per the Truth post

>>60528242

I probably should've been more explicit on that. Statistically insignificant results.

>>60528326
You could sell it to another big corp instead.

>>60528329
I think that's why they delayed the 36 month readout data from Q1 to Q2.. and likely not going to be in Q2 at this rate

>Crcl dump after lockup I presume
If dump institutions may just soak it up, or maybe big buyers will dump just ahead of lockup ending?

>>60528374
It's only 6 institutions that are squeezing it through gamma.

Why is GOOGL dumping?

one day SPY will be at 550 and you will say wow its probably going to 500 and I will remind you that I said so when we were at 605

If anyone has a moment to help a retard, I would appreciate it. I understand the PDT rule and the $25,000 equity requirement, but how does that interact with the normal non-PDT margin requirements? Let me explain: At Schwab for example, if you're NOT a PDT, when borrowing on margin, the required initial equity requirement is 50%. But if you're a PDT, you are allowed 4x leverage. Which is to say, if you were to go balls deep on a trade with the full 4x leverage, you would be at 25% equity right off the bat. So do the normal equity requirements of 50% initial / 30% maintenance no longer apply if you're a PDT as long as you close the position within the same day?

>>60528392
I don't understand a word you just said, just buy more money and don't worry about those things.

>>60528392
The equity requirement is raw equity, its a fed requirement with no logic behind it, brokerages wont jump through hoops to screw you away from giving them more fees when you blow your account

>>60528334
>likely not going to be in Q2 at this rate
That's a foregone conclusion. Findings aren't concluded until September for that. The best lead is that it has a coin-toss probability of holding back early MASH cirrhosis w/o esophageal varices, so early stage btfo. It doesn't fix the liver failure, it holds back the inevitable for just a few more years since it addresses a symptom and not a root cause.

The treatment regimen probably takes an equally long time compared to the time it took to destroy a highly regenerative organ like a liver, which is on the scale of over a decade. That also assumes patient compliance and a willingness to improve lifestyle habits, which is notoriously low in the US.

It's funny. A hundred years ago, Americans were rail thin because they were starving in poverty. Now they're just poor and fat today.

>>60528468
so its pretty much a pump and dump then, any reason why it recovered today?
I'd assume it mega dumps at q2 results since there's no cash anymore, unless uihelin supplies it further

Good evening smg. Just thought I'd inform everyone I will not tolerate any anti-semitism in this thread. Isreal is Our Greatest Ally and it is their God-given right to pre-emptively strike any Ayyrab nation, especially the petroleum-rich ones, in any manner they feel is necessary to ensure the safety, survival, and thriving of their country. I'm sure, being reasonable and tolerant individuals, that you all agree.

>>60528438
Thanks. It's hard to believe, but I guess I'll witness this power for myself on Monday when I start fucking around with 2000 shares of TQQQ with only $40,000 in my account and don't get a margin call.

>>60528474
>so its pretty much a pump and dump then
Yeah, if you're paper-handed, you'll make good money off of it so long as your entry is good.
>any reason why it recovered today?
Dunno, people have hope?

If that NAVIGATE study pulls through and it turns out that it has a chance to halt the progression of a very costly and life-altering path to a liver transplant, it could do well. Ozempic did well for a little bit (before Novo Nordsk colossally fucked up their legal monopoly) and that sort-of fixed a symptom and not a root cause. People pay an extortionately hefty premium to avoid the consequences of their own actions.

>>60528476
No.

How's everyone feeling end of week? Anything you're looking forward to come monday?

>>60528297
that sounds a lot like ai dashcams

ceo is getting old and wants to cash out his share, already finished dealing with his divorce and marital separation of his shares which he did at the bottom early May, then things started pumping
wifey must b mad because marital separation would be more to her if it was at the valuation just a month later

>>60528519
I let 13k slip away (my biggest highscore so far), just kill me kinda vibe
More pump, no dump

>>60528344

Looking forward to crabitha reigning supreme again

>>60528542
>wifey must b mad because marital separation would be more to her if it was at the valuation just a month later
Women used to commit to living longer than her husband before cashing out. Way less messy relations.

>>60528478
Why not just take it easy, go slow, and learn what you are doing instead of going full retard? I have no idea what your question is. Maybe you are super rich or something and doing something really neat and sophisticated. Keep us informed how it turns out if you do decide to go full retard.

ayo, why tf is this guy refusing to lower the fuckin rates? It's costing us (the govt) a fuckin arm and a damn leg. we'd be so much better off with lower rates, and this guy is just fucking shit up ON PORPOISE for DJT.

>>60528736
>It just keeps going up.
For fun I sold at put strike 240, for about 68.25. Yes, that was $6,825 premium I was paid in full. This morning I did not think it would hit the strike so I bought to close for about 57.00 and then logged out. After reading your comment I check just now and FUCK it closed at $240.28 I would have had the full $6,825 if I just let if ride. Oh, well, I will just take my gains and wait for Monday.

>>60528778

Hey anons, insider here. Next week will be green. However I recommend you all buckle the fuck up for July. Especially the week of the 4th.

Jerome ought to rip the bandage off and raise rates to 20% and get the govt to fix their cocaine addiction before the entire ship crashes and we all die.

UH I totally fucked up, I was selling options on Coreweave and mistakenly looked at CRCL whihc closed at 240. CRWV closes at 183 so I was correct to sell to close early. Been a long day and I got the tickers mixed up on my spreadsheet.

Silently, a lot of powerful people got good at maintaining the status quo.

ya'll just mad that you dont understand why high rates are bad.
when rates drop, we're going to pump to high heaven.
the economy is being stymied by these fucking rates that jpow wont lower
>the other fag
KILL YOURSELF YOU NIGLET IQ LOSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I missed out on getting rich from CRCL and now i dont want to fomo but watch it keep fucking pumping. I fucking hate my life

>>60528981
If you think it still going to go up, just buy a couple of shares 5, 10 something small. If there is big pull back buy a few more. Nothing major.

>>60528962
the only way they drop rates is if unemployment goes up or inflation falls further. it's probably going to be unemployment

>>60528991
5 to 10 shares isn't life changing. I wanted to drop 30 k. But I chickened out. Im just a faggot

>>60528992
>it's probably going to be unemployment
That's usually the first thing to go. Humans are expensive to keep around.

you didn't miss out on anything faggot, there's opportunities every day. find another trade simple as.

with small steps you climb mt Everest. Dropping money thinking you get rich is foolish, not investing, not even smart gambling. The best gamblers have done exhaustive study to find an advantage to reduce risk. Just small wins and build over time.

I started investing on early April with 10k. My initial plan was to make 50 per week. I initially was -300 realized. Now I'm at 1.6 k realized. And I pulled 1k to clear my credit card debt. I make about 200-500 per week with options now. I have 100 wdef, 60 vcwe and now I'll build an 100 hood position with both cash and margin to sell CCs as a base. It's going great.

I just checked my home town's newspaper website... there was a front page story about some birds in a lake...
It's like they dont' want to cover Jerome and the Fed AT ALL!?

>>60529081
They're at the lake. That's it.

Yeah i'm refusing to call him "Randy". It's Randall to me. This is mainly because AGC is uninvestable and he is keeping it strictly private. Greedy cunt.

Short-term TA is absolutely dead now that tweets dominate markets

If I'm only making 40k a year (yes poorfag), taxes on dividends in a taxable brokerage wouldn't really mean much right? Only like $25-50 a month in dividends? If it's short term bonds that would be better option though right?

If you're holding more than a couple months they'd be qualified dividends, taxed the same as long term capital gains, which for you might be 0%. No, short term bonds would not be better from a tax perspective.

That's bullshit. Quantum does have its uses but it will break a lot of encryption and probably destroy bitcoin.

YouTube recommended to me this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwEVYlkopTY

I think a lot of people need to hear that their own personal troubles are not their fault and that it is the system working against them. It's comforting.
The next step for them is the belief that their life can never be improved unless everyone else's life is destroyed. Some sort of equalization.

That's why you see all these total trainwrecks who end up waiting for financial collapse, hyperinflation, civil war, or who end up as nutjobs who track earthquakes and volcanoes.
This video finally made it clear to me.

But it also reinforced my belief in physiognomy. I mean look at him.

>>60529830
Physiognomy is one thing. But look at THAT

/smg/ I bring you: Estée Lauder. Sentiment hit rock bottom couple months ago https://www.reddit.com/r/ValueInvesting/comments/1juovnl/value_destruction_why_i_sold_est%C3%A9e_lauder_at_a/ and chart looks great. I don't really care about anything else about this company. Also teenage french girls.

>>60529830
Hyperinflation is real though and we have been going through it since COVID. Doesn't mean you sit on the side lines or short the market though, quite the contrary, you position yourself long to ride the inflation wave.

>>60529909
Ok, thanks, Michael (Burry).

>>60529923
To my mind the big picture is clear:
corporate earnings grow at a certain rate every year
stock market grows a little bit faster than that every year
which is why the P/E ratio keeps climbing every year

Then the market wobbles a bit and the stock market crashes, P/E ratios drop below the historic average, before starting their next multi-year climb again until the next crash.

Inflation or no inflation that train doesn't stop. It might go sideways for a bit but over our lifetimes it's not going to stop.

If you believe the chatter about a "lost decade" ahead after 2 decades of US overperformance, it's very likely to happen again.

>>60530148
Also something that's been on my mind recently
If the stock market is to return let's say 10% CAGR over the rest of my life, isn't it better for me if it moves sideways for the next 10 years while I keep buying, and then making up for it with more performance later? Similar to the 2000's
So a "lost decade" is not a bad thing at all.

I cant wait for CNN to gaslight America that Iran conveniently killed some US soldiers somehow despite being a "weakened nation"

I just want the US to use a bomber and Iran to somehow shoot it down so that then the US is being conflicted about invading but obviously would be in the wrong doing so and at the same time looking like a bitch if not.

I'm kinda hoping Israel keeps false flagging and it keeps rhyming with 9/11 to the point people can't ignore it anymore.

>>60530292
why would it go up when nothing happened and people will be even more convinced nothing is gonna keep happening

>>60530359
The public already knows it, but supports them anyway because they want Israel to do the dirty work.
The average person in the west don't want participate personally in war, but the american southern state citizen wants war so coupled with Israelis, these are the two groups that are to do the dirty work.

Destroying the houses of citizens that are safe in bunkers is strategic. It's demoralization and fear. You might call it terror as it is supposed to influence future political behaviour, like voting, to make Netanyahu unpopular. Israel is doing that too, trying to stir up the people in Iran.

You know Israelis didn't care about the palestinians cause they thought they are safe. Now after several rocket impacts they don't feel this safety anymore, which is good. Might turn them a little more humble and reserved.

>>60530826
This btw is also the reason why Americans lust so much after bombing other people. They are too far away for other nations to bomb them. If that changed, man, maybe they'd stop.

>>60530826
it gives netanyahu more support to bomb muslims if israelis think muslims are a threat. Like 9/11 but also one day maybe iran will hit oil fields and refineries and maybe some shipping routes to really kick this into high gear

>>60530826
>Destroying the houses of citizens that are safe in bunkers is strategic
It's strategic if you do it to the point where the enemy population is severely affected. The average Israeli savage is used to this though and an overwhelming majority supports continuing the war as long as it takes.
The Iranians need to take out critical industry, power plants, refineries and airports to get the Israelis to stop, but unfortunately they don't have the ability to do that.
>>60530838
>It will replace code monkeys and yes autos in select routes
Will it really though? Seems to me like the "AI" would have to understand some basic things about the world to do those jobs, like what is "danger", what is "life", what is "safe" and it would have to understand what it is to have a physical presence in the world and also stop fucking hallucinating. LLMs are nowhere near that at this point and I doubt pure LLMs will ever get us there.

>>60530903
self driving truck convoys are already close to being a reality, the truck on the front will be led by a human and the ones behind will be self driving.
This makes the AI's role very simple and doesn't put into question any philosophical considerations.

>>60530920
>self driving truck convoys are already close to being a reality
Lots of things have been close to becoming a reality only for people to realize that the last 2% of the work is the hardest. Probably the only way to see if it's possible is to try it and see if there are any accidents in the first year or two.

This in mostly FNGB, NVDL, Google and UPRO, $100k in crypto ( Bitcoin and hbar) and $150k cash. What the hell do I buy to live comfortably

>>60530932
>Probably the only way to see if it's possible is to try it and see if there are any accidents in the first year or two.
I agree

>>60530937

>>60530937

>>60530937

>>60530920
Eh, I don't know. We have a lot of single trucks now because supply chains are sufficiently complex to necessitate lots of trucks, not to mention there are real limits to how quickly trucks can be loaded and unloaded at various stops, meaning deliveries need to be staggered. I don't think self-driving shipping is really going to be a thing, at least not without someone in the cabin. We might get full self-driving trucks, but every truck will have a guy on board for security and insurance purposes. It'll make it a pretty easy job though.

>>60530946
Point is self driving truck convoys massively reduce costs and there are routes where these make logistical sense

>>60530956
Only if all the trucks move through a checkpoint going in or out of a city. In the city, I think trucks probably need to be individual to be effective. On the highway, maybe a convoy makes sense. But if you have to add a checkpoint that trucks pass through to split them add, add/remove drivers etc, why not just hire the drivers and not deal with the rest? Well, I'm just reasoning it out. Frankly speaking if it makes economic sense it will happen, if it doesn't, it won't, no matter how good AI driving gets.
