I created an algo that tracks the most hyped stocks on Reddit. Here are the results for this week
What's up everyone. I created an algo that scans the most popular trading sub-reddits and logs the tickers mentioned in due-diligence or discussion-styled posts. Instead of scanning for how many times each ticker was mentioned in a comment, I logged how popular the post was among the sub-reddit. Essentially if it makes it to the 'hot' page then it will most likely be on this list. There are two parts to this post. The first is for posts that were submitted in the most active trading sub-reddits (such as this one), and the second part has the most mentioned tickers from the WSB sub-reddit.
How can I use this list? The best way to use this data is to learn about new tickers that might be trending. As an example, I probably would have never known about the ARK etfs, or even Palantir, until they started trending on Reddit. This gives many people an opportunity to learn about these stocks and decide if they want to invest in them or not. The data on this list is limited to one post per ticker. I've taken the most 'popular' post for that ticker on whichever sub-reddit it may have been. What I've found is that normally if tickers begin to trend on one sub-reddit then generally-speaking there will be posts for the same ticker on various other sub-reddits. Here's the data from the last week.

(2/11) Thursday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News
Good morning traders and investors of the wallstreetbets sub! Welcome to Thursday! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Thursday morning-
1. Dow set to add to Wednesday’s record high close
- Dow futures rose Thursday, one day after the 30-stock average hit an intraday all-time high in a volatile session and closed at a record. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq on Wednesday were unable to hold on to their all-time intraday highs and closed slightly lower.
- The Labor Department is out at 8:30 a.m. ET with its weekly report on new jobless claims. Economists expect 760,000 filings for new unemployment benefits for last week. That would be down 19,000 from the prior week, which at 779,000 was the lowest initial claims reading since late November.
- Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday monetary policy needs to stay “patiently accommodative” to support the economy that still faces challenges in the labor market. The employment picture is “a long way” from where it needs to be, the central bank chief told the Economic Club of New York.
2. PepsiCo beats expectations; Uber delivers mixed results
- Earnings were once again a focus for investors. Disney leads the list of major companies reporting quarterly results after Thursday’s closing bell. Before the market opening, PepsiCo reported a fourth-quarter profit of $1.47 per share, a penny better than estimates. Revenue rose 8.8% to $22.46 billion, also exceeding expectations. PepsiCo shares fell slightly in the premarket.
- Uber shares dropped 4% in Thursday’s premarket, the morning after the company reported a smaller-than-expected loss of 54 cents per share in the fourth quarter. However, revenue fell 16% to a lower-than-expected $3.17 billion. Uber’s ride-hailing business slowly recovered, while its delivery business boomed.
3. Cannabis stocks jump in a Reddit-fueled trade reminiscent of GameStop
- Cannabis stocks were soaring as the Reddit crowd that spiked GameStop jumped in. Tilray shares surged nearly 51% on Wednesday, pushing the stock to a year-to-date gain of more than 670%. Not nearly as bet-against as GameStop, Tilray’s short interest was still equal to 22.5% of the shares available for trading, according to FactSet as of the end of January. Tilary added another 10% in Thursday’s premarket. Tilray is no stranger to a short-squeeze rally. The stock spiked more than 1,400% between July and September 2018, but those gains did not last.
4. Dating app firm Bumble set to begin trading after pricing IPO
- When 31-year-old Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd takes her dating app company public Thursday, she’ll be noted not only for her youth but also as one of the few female founders to lead her firm to an IPO. Bumble, whose board comprises 73% women, priced its offering Wednesday evening at $43 per share, raising $2.2 billion and valuing Bumble at around $8 billion. The stock market response will act as a litmus test for companies founded by women, who account for just 7.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs. That’s an all-time high but still a staggeringly low.

What's on everyone's radar for today's trading day ahead here at wallstreetbets?
I hope you all have an excellent trading day ahead today on this Thursday, February 11th, 2021! :)
If you find The Crimson Carnival, don't stay past sunrise.
I had read the list of instructions thousands of times. The Crimson Carnival can only be found by following a series of specific directives, as outlined by those who had successfully ventured there in the past.
Just as described by the moderators of the private online forum, I found it at 3:53AM on a Friday the 13th far out in the countryside after a series of meandering twists and turns that I had followed meticulously as outlined by those who had journeyed to the carnival before me.
The detailed instructions were specific and required pain and personal sacrifice, but I was willing to do what I had to. My palm still stung from where the blade had pierced it, and I had intentionally left the wound undressed. Again, another necessary part of the journey. Blood poured from it all over the steering wheel. This seemed distant and unimportant now.
I had found the place. After years of hearing about it, reading about it, researching, and building up the courage, I had actually found it.
I turned off the engine and got out of the car, the cool night air crisp and fresh as I breathed in. Walking towards the entrance of the fairgrounds, I saw no one else around. The outside of the place was empty and devoid of visitors. Forsaken.
The moon was a sliver in the dark night sky above. Sounds of activity could be heard from within the fair, carnival barkers and rides, the loud DING DING DING of someone winning a prize. Everything that would make you think it was a regular carnival. An ordinary fair.
A clown was at the entrance, his face was painted bright red around the eyes and mouth, his hair and round nose also crimson. He wore yellow pants with suspenders and welcomed me, waving an oversized white-gloved hand as I approached.
“HOO HOO HOO hoo! I’ve got a surprise, it’s true! Who found the Crimson Carnival? What a delight, it’s you!”
The clown with the yellow pants was there. Just like all the reports had said.
“You've found the place, my friend! Get inside and have some fun! Your time now very soon will end.
The crimson death can't be undone.” His face was a toothy grin, all smiles and giggles as he recited the welcoming rhyme. All but the last line, which he said in a low growl. Following that he looked serious and angry.
I was taken aback. He was supposed to say, “The Crimson fair leaves with the sun,” as the final line in the rhyme. He was supposed to be the cheerful welcome clown. No scary shit yet. Not yet.
But instead he had said, “The crimson death can't be undone,” in that terrifying low rumbling voice and I couldn't help but wonder if I had made some mistake in the ritual. His upper lip quivered as he continued to growl at me.
He was supposed to keep smiling, waving, and looking friendly. The dark, really creepy shit was further in. Out by the entrance the carnival was reported to look bright and welcoming. It didn't usually reveal its true form until you were well inside the fences.
I just stood there, sweating, panicking, retracing my efforts.
I had made no errors, though, I realized as I went through each part of the instructions in my head and pictured myself in my memory doing exactly as instructed.
Suddenly I realized I had been standing there for a while, thinking, and the clown was still staring at me. The reply came to me immediately, after years of study I had not forgotten.
The cut on my palm still bleeding, I asked the question deliberately and verbatim. Word for word as described online.
“All I have is a nickle. Will that cover the fare?”
I held up the rare coin and it glittered red with my blood like a ruby in the moonlight.
“It lets you in. It lets you through. The bloody nickel, true true true.”
He was smiling again and I let out a sigh of relief. Just a little different for a second, but back on track now, nothing to be worried about.
I walked past him and through the turnstiles. Looking back I saw he was still smiling his wide toothy grin and took that for a good sign. He waved his white-gloved hand at me and then was swallowed up by darkness and fog.
At least he had stopped growling like a rabid dog after the toll had been offered. Something about that had really terrified me. Not that I wasn't already petrified, but when I had run through this in my mind (approximately a million times) things had always gone to plan. According to the descriptions I had read over and over, memorizing them.
No one had ever mentioned an alternate ending to the welcome rhyme. Was the place changing? Evolving somehow?
No. That was impossible. Through all the years and all the visitors it had stayed the same. Why would it change now?
Sarah would still be there, I told myself. She had to be there. Otherwise this was all for nothing. I could handle being scared, as long as it meant getting her back. I had to get her back. Her absence in my life was like a missing appendage, the memories of her a phantom limb that ached incessantly.
She was there. I could feel her somehow, as unlikely as that sounds. I felt like with every step I got closer.
The sounds rose up loudly around me from every direction as I entered the midway. First one man shouting, “STEP RIGHT UP, STEP RIGHT UP, TRY YOUR HAND AT THE DARTS! You sir! You look like a man who knows how to win, how about taking a toss at the red balloons!?” then a woman asking, “How'd you like to win a prize? Get the ball in the barrel and take home the bloody big bear!”
She pointed up and I caught myself following her finger and looking at the giant stuffed bears which hung suspended from the ceiling. Each one had a noose around its neck, with eyes red and bulging. The eyes looked real, though, and I could have sworn I saw one swollen bear-face look down at me, pleading and terrified. Red fluid seeped from their mouths and dripped down onto the counter below.
I dropped my gaze and reminded myself not to get distracted. Everything here was meant to steer you from your goal, nothing was as it seemed.
Keeping my head down, I continued to walk deeper into the midway.
“Cotton candy!”
“Hot dogs!”
“Get your ride tickets here! Ride the Ferris wheel with your true love by your side! A date she'll never forget!”
I walked past and heard him say quietly from behind me, “She will stay here. Sarah will live and die and live again, here. Always here. She will stay here. You will stay here.”
My heart nearly stopped in my chest. That definitely wasn't supposed to happen. The carnival workers were not supposed to talk out of character to visitors. They were always supposed to stay in character.
I tried to control myself but ended up running over to him, fighting my anger and hatred and fury and pushing it down deep, stopping myself somehow from leaping over the counter and grabbing the man.
“What did you say??”
His mouth opened and closed like a gold fish but he said nothing.
“What the FUCK did you just say!?”
“Ride the salt and pepper shaker! You'll get all mixed up until you don't know up from down!!”
“No. Sarah. You said something about Sarah. I’m looking for her. Please, just help me. Tell me where she is.”
“Why, Lady Luck? She's just around the corner at the spinning wheel of chance. Place your bets there and win your heart’s desire!”
I nearly screamed at him but managed to restrain myself. It would serve no purpose other than wasting time. I checked my watch and saw I had already been inside for half an hour. The time was going fast. The man was just another distraction, meant to keep me here longer, to keep me from my goal. To keep me from Sarah.
Moving on, I kept my head on a swivel, looking every possible direction, checking every face.
None of them were hers.
Far ahead in the distance, I saw the giant red canopy tent at the center of the fair. I hoped I wouldn’t have to go in there. That’s where all the most horrifying sights were, according to those few who had seen it and escaped.
The cannibal killer clowns in their little car that drove around and stopped randomly, piling out and murdering and subsequently devouring whoever was nearest and then clambering back in and driving off.
A polar bear on a unicycle that would cause similar damage during its rampages, when it got inevitably bored of riding around.
Chainsaw-wielding trapeze artists that swung down unexpectedly and cut you in half before you could even think to run away.
And further in, at the very center, who knew? No one had seen it.
Only the most extreme thrill-seekers tried for the canopy. It was reserved for the most dedicated and experienced. I shuddered to think of going in there. I had planned to avoid it at all costs.
I checked my watch again. This was taking longer than expected. The place was drawing out every second of my time, even the ground beneath my feet was sticky and muddy and each step forward came with an increasing effort.
My eyes darted around, looking in every booth and at every carnival worker. There were no other guests so that made it a little bit easier.
I walked past more carnival barkers and booths. After walking around a corner, I was confronted by a man shouting in my face, “TEST YOUR STRENGTH!”
He was huge, wearing a leather vest and holding a massive sledge hammer in both hands. Turning around, he swung it and hit the bell, causing the machine to light up and ding incessantly.
Turning away from him, I scanned the faces of every carnival worker standing behind their counters. A ring toss booth was just ahead, and I began to walk towards it, thinking the woman inside looked a bit like Sarah, when I heard the voice of the man behind me.
He had silently followed me, and now stood directly behind me with the hammer held high over his head.
“SHE IS OURS!”
The sledge hammer came down hard and I ducked out of the way just in time. My heart pounding, I stumbled to the ground, off balance. I rolled away as a second swing of the giant hammer nearly missed me again.
I got up to my feet as quickly as I could and backed away from the man. He was pursuing me still, and I turned and ran.
The muddy ground caused me to slip as I turned a corner to get away from him, and found myself heading towards the giant canopy at the center of the fair.
I checked my watch. Still nearly an hour until sunrise. Plenty of time.
No. Can’t think like that. You’ve wasted half your time and you haven’t found her yet. That means you’re behind. You need to spot her quick and get her the hell out of here.
I felt myself struggling to think clearly as adrenaline took over and something else as well, an unfamiliar feeling like the naïve recklessness of a young man, which I no longer was. I wanted to live, and yet I found myself abandoning reason and self-preservation the more time I spent there.
And yet, the giant canopy tent drew me in like a moth to a flame and I went to it, no longer looking at the other carnival workers. Every part of me was saying to go inside. That’s where she would be.
Looking back, I saw the man with the sledge hammer was no longer pursuing me, and I breathed a sigh of relief. Maybe he was getting reinforcements, though, and that would be trouble.
Feeling like a piece of iron filament being drawn towards a powerful magnet, I walked towards the huge crimson red canopy tent. Up this close it was obvious how massive the thing was now. Inside would be a space lit up with lights and full of morbid wonders and curiosities.
It loomed before me, dwarfing me in size and I realized I was standing right before the entrance, every part of me saying to go inside, to look and see what could be found within. And then I heard her voice.
“Try your luck at the spinning wheel, sir?”
I stopped in my tracks, afraid to turn and look, afraid it wouldn’t really be her, that it would be just some trick again, some attempt to stall me. But then I did and it was her. It was really her. No mistaking it.
She gave a shaky smile and lifted her hand to wave.
I walked over to the booth and looked at her, my eyes filling with tears.
“I missed you so much,” was all I could say.
“I missed you too. Every day I missed you.”
And then some other force took over and her smile widened like it was being pulled at the corners by unseen strings, causing her to show her teeth.
Her voice changed and became that of a carnival barker trying to grab your attention as you pass by.
“TRY YOUR LUCK AT THE SPINNING WHEEL, SIR!?”
I was stunned, and didn’t know what to say for a second.
“Sarah… Let’s get out of here. Come on. Take my hand.”
Reaching over the counter, I saw her eyes flash back to her own for a second, but then they became full of hatred and murder.
She hissed at me like a cat, her eyes now crimson-red. Then she swiped at me with her nails, scratching my arm badly and leaving four long gashes there. She attacked my face next, flailing at it with quick lashes in succession, leaving me bleeding from her nails.
I recoiled, terrified and in pain. Blood poured from my face and my arm and I was suddenly having trouble seeing out of one eye. My vision was turning red and then black on that side.
“Run,” she said, her face turning back into her own for an instant. “You can’t save me. Just run. If you stay past sunrise you’ll be stuck here with the rest of us.”
And then her eyes flicked back to that crimson red shade and I saw her laughing at me.
“You can’t save her. She’s ours now.”
Other carnival workers started to come out from behind their booths and were now stalking towards me. A clown popped his head out from the giant canopy tent nearby and then when he saw me came running with a duck-legged stride in his oversized floppy shoes. Following behind him was a man on giant stilts, who had to duck to come through the doorway. He was juggling bowling pins that were set ablaze and threw one at me, nearly missing my face with it.
Sarah stayed stubbornly put where she was, as if the carnival knew that I wanted her to chase me, to come after me. But no, it had plenty of others to do that.
I backed away at the sight of the blood-thirsty carnies approaching, then turned and ran back towards the entrance, my instinct to survive suddenly taking over.
Running half-blind through the midway, I saw more carnival workers leaving their booths, following after me, their eyes blank and zombie-like. Looking back, I saw dozens of them now in pursuit, breaking into a slow jog and then running as they followed after me.
Increasing my pace, I felt my heart booming in my chest, sweat pouring down my face. My eyes were wide and terrified, darting around, looking for potential threats everywhere.
“Candy apple?” the elderly woman was wearing an eye patch and as she threw the boiling hot caramel sauce at me she smiled, her teeth rotten and black. Some of the liquid sugar hit my face and I screamed as it burnt me. I knew that would scar me for the rest of my life but didn’t have time to think about it.
I had a moment of pity for the woman, knowing now that she was just another victim of the carnival, the same as Sarah. No one from the online forums had ever considered that the carnies were themselves past visitors who hadn’t been able to escape before sunrise. It was always assumed that they were a part of the carnival itself and had been since the start.
My feet slipped in mud and I nearly fell as I raced past the man with the sledge hammer. He jumped up and began to chase after me with the others, carrying his heavy mallet in both hands and screaming at me.
Up ahead I saw the turnstiles and picked up my pace, seeing the faint glimmer of a sunrise on the horizon. The clown was there, appearing out of the fog once more, and as I got closer I saw he was waiting for me.
He held a small axe in his hand and chuckled when I got near.
“THE CRIMSON GLOW CAN’T BE UNDONE. THE CRIMSON GLOW CAN’T BE UNDONE. THE CRIMSON GLOW CAN’T BE UNDONE.”
The voices of others drawing closer from behind rose in volume joining his and I realized they were very close now. I had no choice. I would have to take my chances with the clown.
I ran at him full speed, knowing I didn’t have much time left. Once the sun came up I was stuck here with the rest of them. No one was coming for me. Nobody knew I was here.
The only reason I knew where Sarah had disappeared to was because of her obsession with the online forums related to the crimson carnival. She had become more and more involved until it completely took over her life, nearly ruining our relationship in the process.
Then one day she had said that she was going to find the place for herself. She had left in the middle of the night, leaving me a note while I was sleeping. She had never come home after that and I had always regretted not going with her.
She had even given me the coin, saying that she wanted me to go with her, to experience it alongside her. She said not to lose it. That there were only a few left out there, and that they were exceedingly rare and valuable. But now I had lost it, just like I had lost her. The fucking clown had it.
I had an idea at the last second as I ran towards him. The mud slipping beneath my feet made me think of when I was a kid, playing soccer. How after scoring a goal or winning a game on a rainy day, we would slide around on the grass, in the mud, celebrating.
Diving forward at full speed, I landed on my belly in the muck. It knocked the wind out of me, and since I wasn’t a kid anymore it hurt like hell, but it had the desired effect.
My forward momentum took me under the turnstiles and I surprised the clown by knocking out his legs from beneath him. He went flying into the air, his axe spinning and shining in the faint light before landing a few feet away.
Dozens of coins came flying out from his pockets also.
They landed scattered on the ground in the mud, and I grabbed a handful of them before racing off back towards my car.
I heard the clown screaming at me until his voice cut out suddenly in an instant as the sun peeked out from behind the horizon.
Looking back with my one working eye, I saw that he was gone, and so was the carnival.
But in my hand, the blood-red nickels from past visitors remained, proof of my visit. Same as the long red scratches on my arm and on my face. The scars and burns I would wear for the rest of my life.
And yet still, staring at the muddy, bloody coins in my palm, I knew I would be back.
I had no choice. JG TCC Whales to Watch: Week of 2/1 🐳 🪓
EDITOR NOTE: YES. GME NOK AND AMC have incredibly strong volume still, followed by BB/BBY
LAST WEEK’S 10 BAGGER: NVAX In the interest of consistency, and because everybody needs to be chipping in right now, here’s the scans that caught my eye today heading into next week. Mondays are my best days so Ill have way more then, EOD.
🐳🧐
Overall, whales kept betting on tech to bounce back heavily, in convincing style (signals that indicated the call blocks were more than just hedging). Image links are call blocks from each.
Intitial research is often with barchart, but I always check for confirmation with Unusual Whales FB 🚀🚀🚀: until the bitter end today, people were feverishly pumping call blocks with puts aligning them. If tech bounces back, FB in particular is due for a rip after correcting post-earnings
Unusual whales confirmation: look at this March call order SQ 🚀🚀: consistent bullish call volume all week. People thought they fished the bottom yesterday but got curbed by the blood red index day
Unusual Whales research confirmation: strong 2/5 call block DKNG 🚀🚀: lots of sporadic call clusters like this. PENN gets most of the glory, but there are a lot of catalysts coming around state regulations soon. Load up some 2/26 and wait for the pop
Unusual Whales research confirmation: repeated weeklies each week, such as this. AMZN 🚀🚀🚀: the bulls are buying calls heavily in anticipation of earnings. If you think you know what a good beat is, just wait for AMZN Christmas results
Ununsual Whales?: yep BONUS: sporadic FDX call orders have come in. After an oversell for FDX recently, AMZN sympathy is plausible based on orders.
Unusual Whales spotted a sneaky FDX call order for 2/12 INTC 🚀 : yes. I know INTC can be awful. But tons of pump since the ER. they have a new CEO everyone is excited about now, and look to have found a bottom. I like this.
Unusual Whales spotted this INTC call block got 2/5 Tech grab bag: ZNGA PINS CRM SNAP FSLY EDIT: I forgot AMD
All HEAVY volume and look great for ERs coming off this tech drubbing. Very bullish call flow.
EDIT/UPDATE: lordofoptions has sold me on
SENS Hope this gives you some confirmation bias or ideas to look into.
Inbox always open: i was super busy this past week, but in light of recent crazy market/WSB events I will be checking frequently and am willing to bounce ideas, field questions.
TLDR: Buy tech calls, because whales richer than you are doing just that. good luck. 🐳

I draw with crayons so you don't have to. The grind up continues. Tickers on the watchlist this week: CRSR, APPS, PINS, DKNG, SNOW
 | What am I doing? I do technical analysis and selling cash-secured-puts 3 to 5 weeks out on stocks that are nearing key levels of support. My goal is to collect premium, but should I get assigned I have absolutely zero problem running the wheel on stocks I want to own. I watch over 200 stocks, I would say its 90% waiting game and 10% true technical analysis. My levels work, but it's normally because I am patiently waiting for an entry point. Yes that's a lot of tickers to watch, but I research my stocks on weekends and then monitor additional plays & levels during the weekday to see if there is an obvious setup I want to participate in. Here's a few things regarding my strategy 1. I don't over-leverage with selling multiple spreads because if the stock price blows past your long strike and you assume max loss you need a lot of capital to actually be assigned the shares. For that reason I don't really see selling multiple spreads as a "Theta Gang" play and is still very high risk. If I do open a spread it will be a protective put for $1-5 just to protect myself should the company randomly announce bankruptcy. 2. I only sell cash-secured puts with the capability to be assigned if need be. My goal is to never take a loss on a position and always wheel it back to profitability. If something has changed fundamentally with the stock then yes I will close the position and realize the loss. 3. If IV on a ticker is very low, then yes I will outright buy shares instead. 4. I only aim for 1-4% per week collecting on theta and an occasional earnings theta yolo. No call-buying, no spreads (unless buying a covered put), only put-selling and shares! Honestly, that's about it. I'll go through some tickers on my watchlist this weekend and what I currently have open. Open Positions From Last Week I closed up some positions Thursday before close and raised cash which gave me an opportunity to open new positions when some good entries came about Friday on the dip. Still about 40% cash and will look to enter some trades on Tuesday. Positions that remain from previous weeks: COTY, FEYE, GME, JMIA, PLTR. Positions I opened Friday: CRSR, RKT Chart Rules Pink Lines = Trading range & channel. I find stocks typically trade within certain channels until an event, such as earnings or some news which changes the fundamentals of the stock price changes the trend and a new channel is formed. Blue Lines = Key areas of support/resistance. I don't like focusing on supp/res levels every $2 down like some people do. I look at the bigger picture and find where where key levels of buyers come in to grab the stock. I'll try to sell puts there. Master Plays This Week I just want to preface this by saying these are not recommendations to buy or sell any stocks. These are stocks that have come through my scanner and met a few criteria for me to sell puts to collect premium. I won't execute on every trade, but if the timing is right I will enter these, that's why they are on my "watchlist". My intention here is to sell the put, collect the premium, or get assigned the shares. If I am assigned the shares, I sell covered-calls trying to lower my cost basis and remain profitable on the play. CRSR ($38) https://preview.redd.it/6f7r7hultyb61.png?width=1804&format=png&auto=webp&s=7009672010f2e417c46e69cacd7d4f0476f1b205 This ticker finds it's way on my short-list of stocks once again. The channel it's trading in is pretty clear and each break-out at the $42 level gets rejected. If we continue to go down expect some support at $35.50. IMO I don't think it will break through for it to become a downward trend. I'm comfortable selling puts at $35 for February 15 going into the earnings report around then. Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $35 strike puts sold to open for $3.30 or $330 premium. Return: 10%. Break-even: I lose if share price goes below $31.70 (20% drop from current level) by expiration. APPS ($56) https://preview.redd.it/2xmelenmtyb61.png?width=1814&format=png&auto=webp&s=4ad57c2cffc2398c2afbe609260437827f1889a3 APPS nearing the mid-way point of the strong upward channel it's been in. I wouldn't be surprised if it begins to trade sideways and consolidates after the share price doubled since November. Earnings are also coming up relatively soon. I will sell the put the week after earnings anticipating a period of consolidation and sideways action before the next move higher and maybe a run going into earnings day. Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $50 strike puts sold to open for $3.75 or $375 premium. Return: 7.5% Break-even: $46.25 PINS ($69) https://preview.redd.it/qq4ny5h4uyb61.png?width=1814&format=png&auto=webp&s=55a8536a8f0ffdc2a9ed77ffc81a9e48eb9dc932 Finally an entry point into PINS. This ticker really took off over last summer and into the fall, but since December it's been pretty flat. It's right on the $70 level of supp/resistance. If this level breaks down we could see it go back to $65 area. I'll be confident selling my puts at $66 for the week after earnings in mid February. This will give me plenty of time should the stock consolidate or if we get one more push higher going into earnings. Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $65 strike puts sold to open for $5.40 or $540 premium. Return: 8.5%. Break-even: $59.50 DKNG ($53) https://preview.redd.it/htvoqv65uyb61.png?width=1810&format=png&auto=webp&s=35f5b450e09154c4613692d608d24e7231a0c884 DKNG isn't my favorite to sell puts on because IV isn't as high for the return I could get, but it's been fairly reliable in terms of how it trades. Trend lines on this chart are going back to May instead of just the last 2-3 months. Like clockwork it's stayed within the channel for several 6 now. It is at the top of the channel, but could be due for a breakout if it follows the lead of PENN. Government will be looking for revenues and one of the easiest ways to do this moving forward will be to legalize sports-betting everywhere they can and tax the hell out of it. I am bullish long-term on this industry and really don't mind being assigned shares. I might sell closer to ATM puts here 5 weeks out and try to get an extra kick in premium. Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $50 strike puts sold to open for $2.65 or $265. Return: 5.3%. Break-even: $47.35 SNOW ($290) https://preview.redd.it/y4atwfp5uyb61.png?width=1790&format=png&auto=webp&s=7ac8ea6e334866d14bfdab253a20ded8432bd99c I always liked SNOW, but never got in due to concerns of valuation. For the price action it was experiencing post IPO it also never really had enticing IVs to sell puts against either, which was somewhat strange. Now that the swings in share price the stock is experiencing are narrowing IMO it could be a good time to sell puts with a long-term mindset. This would enable me to get in on some shares at a good price should I be assigned. Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $275 strike put sold to open for $17.00 or $1,700 premium. Return: 6.2% Break-even: $258 submitted by aMereMortalxxx to options [link] [comments] |
So, you wanna see BTS live? A guide to ticketing.
Ticketing for BTS is a bloodbath, not gonna lie. Especially with the influx of a lot of fans who will want to see them live post-quarantine. I was able to get my hands on some twice, although it was a very intense and fast paced process. Keep in mind, I am writing this from the perspective of someone who has only seen BTS in the US. I think a lot of the advice is still applicable internationally, but I can’t provide detail on that.
Cost BTS tickets, in comparison to the other artists who are in their caliber of popularity, actually aren’t hugely expensive. You can get nosebleed seats at around 60-80 USD a pop. BTS tickets range from $60 to $300 USD face value per person (not including fees) at first sale value depending on where you sit. The average price of a ticket according to Ticketmaster is $299 (with fees).
The only official initial ticketing site for BTS is TicketMaster. Don’t forget about the cost of transportation, food, lodging, and merch! If you’re gonna buy merch, you will probably spend a few hundred. Allocate $50 dollars per person for food/drink. Transportation and lodging heavily depend on your proximity to a venue, but it will probably be a few hundred for a hotel room. Transportation heavily depends.
Seats It really depends on the venue. Being close without actually being on the floor is probably your best bet. To prevent mobbing, all of the floor seats have actual chairs, but it can get quite intense down there and the tickets are more expensive. Lower 1st level seats close to the stage are what I consider to be the optimum. However, if you want the chance of getting to see BTS really close up, then you’ll wanna look for floor seats, but those can range from 300-500 USD at face value. The only VIP experience is soundcheck. These tickets are more expensive, but you’ll be let in with a small group of fans for floor seats and get to see BTS do their mic checks. There’s a higher chance of interaction with them there, but it is more expensive. Hi-touch and meet and greets aren’t something that BTS do now.
Even if you don’t get your ideal seats, there are huge screens and the staff do live camerawork and follow BTS around so you’ll have a good view. The show itself is very immersive, around three hours with no opening acts, and the production value is quite literally insane. If you want a taste, look up the concert performances of Anpanman, Euphoria, Dionysus, and Mikrokosmos of YouTube. Your seats won’t matter much when you get there. The vibe of being in a concert, enjoying music with your fellow ARMY, and getting to see BTS is magical.
Safety BTS concerts in comparison to others that I have attended tend to be quite safe. ARMY as a fandom are pretty respectful and security guards have even said that they were blown away by how polite and well-mannered most fans are. However, there are always exceptions and it’s better to be safe than sorry. The times I felt most unsafe were trying to leave the concert because it was late at night and there’s so many people, but if you plan right, you’ll be fine. I recommend not attending alone if you can, but I wouldn’t be worried if that isn’t a possibility. For context, my first BTS concert I was with a friend and both of us were just sixteen with no adult chaperone and we never felt scared in the venue once.
The vibe on the floor can be more aggressive as people are moving around. Some may get pushy. It gets hot and there is always the risk of fainting. Also, you have to line up beforehand which is a whole ordeal and fairly time consuming. There are pros and cons to floor seats, but it may be a touch more dangerous if you have any of these concerns.
Preparation Last time ticketing happened, there were three separate rounds of ticketing. An ARMY membership presale which happened first, then a lottery-draw fan presale that you had to register for, and then finally a regular ticket sale. All of these happened on different dates in successive order. Theoretically, to optimize your chances, you should purchase an ARMY membership which will give you the best chance of snagging a ticket if they go about ticketing in this manner again.
Make a TicketMaster account beforehand and enter all of your information including payment. Make sure you have enough money in your account for the transaction to go through without issue. Look at the venue map beforehand for your ideal section. There will be extra fees tacked onto the ticket price such as taxes and processing fees so account for that when you’re putting money in your account. Last time they offered pre-registration which was selected lottery style. It’s worth it to register in case you get picked. Be wary of ticketing on multiple devices, as the similarity in IP address may make TicketMaster suspicious. However, you can ask your friends and family to help you out by ticketing too. Beyond ticketing, you should also book your lodging and transportation if relevant in advance.
The Final Hour Make sure that you clear your schedule for a few hours when ticketing happens. You will want to be somewhere where you won’t be distracted and the wifi is high speed which you can test through googling “internet speed test”.
The specific time tickets go on sale will be announced and you want to log on about 15-30 minutes before. DO NOT REFRESH UNLESS YOUR PAGE CRASHES. Once you enter the ticketing queue (the dreaded purple walking man) if you refresh, you will go to the back of the line. Keep an eye the whole time. It will tell you that there are 2,000+ people in front of you, but just hold faith and eventually the screen to select tickets will appear.
You gotta move fast. Tickets will blip out of existence in seconds. Being extremely picky will not benefit you. Know sections that you would be okay with getting tickets in and keep those in the back of your head if you don’t get your first choice selection. Where you sit doesn’t matter that much and you’ll come to understand that when you actually get to the venue.
Once you have the tickets in your cart, check out ASAP. Don’t give up during the process, even if it seems crazy as hell. Once you’ve gotten it all confirmed, take a deep breath, and get excited! You’re gonna see BTS! Congrats!
So, you don’t get a ticket. What do? Hope is not lost. Trades and resells. There are Facebook groups exclusively dedicated to selling/trading tickets, so check that out. Just be wary of scammers. You can also get resold tickets which tend to be more expensive. That’s how I got the tickets to my first BTS concert. They were $255 each for seats on the first level, but the subtotals added around another $50. StubHub is a good site for that.
Notes - There are specific guidelines for the bags you can bring into the stadium. Please look at the venue’s rules beforehand. I just recommend that in general.
- BTS concerts are a full day/two day experience. Take time off of school or work for it if you can because it’s pretty time consuming.
- Plan for the weather! The Chicago concerts were super cold and rainy and the New Jersey concerts were quite hot. Dress appropriately for the weather and bring relevant layers as needed.
- Having an ARMY Twitter account will be helpful. Look for social media projects related to your venue. You should be able to find them through searching Twitter. This may be a special fancant or something else.
- My personal advice: pre book Ubers/Lyfts and set a designated meeting spot. Trying to get one after the show is hellish.
- There is no bad seat in the house. Just different perspectives. See here, here, here, here, and here.
- If you have close ARMY social media friends who are attending and want to meet up, make plans to meet at a designated place. Also, some of the local fan bases will set up seat buddy google forms so that people can get to know the people they’re sitting next to beforehand.
- Official song fanchants are put out on BigHit’s website. Try and familiarize yourself with them beforehand.
- The standard name fanchant goes as follows. “Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jeongguk, BTS!” Here’s a good example.
- Some ARMY are known to give out freebies at concerts, so don’t be worried if someone asks you if you want some.
- Don’t call ARMY bombs, ARMY bombs around security or outside the venue. Locals will not know what you mean and it can get you in some hot water. Instead, call it a lightstick.
- People dress up for BTS concerts like they’re gonna walk a fashion runway. It can be fun to plan a cool outfit, so if you’re gonna do that, but things beforehand. Nobody’s gonna judge you if you don’t, but as an ARMY culture thing it’s pretty common.
- If you have medical issues, I recommend contacting the venue beforehand to make a plan of action and figuring out specifics. Will save you time and trouble at the venue.
- Most people arrive at the concert 3-4 hours early to hang out, get freebies, meet new ARMY friends, meet up with social media friends, and buy merch. You can always show up an hour or so beforehand, but that bonding time is a lot of fun! Plus, merch lines are very long so you’ll need to have time for that.
- Besides your phone/wallet/essentials, don't bring anything you don't want taken away. Although unlikely, it could be lost or stolen.
- If you’re driving, figure out your parking plans in advance by looking at the venue website. Some have special parking passes.
- Wear decently comfy shoes! Although there are seats at all the venues, you will be standing for the majority of three hours and you will feel as if you have just gone through an intense workout between the jumping around and the screaming.
- Security can make your life bothersome if you bring prohibited items into the venue so do your research beforehand on what is allowed and what isn’t.
- Make a safety backup plan in terms of people you can call for help or stay with in case anything goes south. Police and security guards are always around in case you need help, so don’t be afraid to ask. There are also first aid stations should you need medical assistance.
- You will probably be given a slogan (paper sign). Keep it for posterity!
- I had a folder on my phone with screenshots of my ticket’s barcode, fanchants, confirmation emails for my transportation/lodging just in case I couldn’t access the internet.
- Cameras other than your phone and small lenses that attach to it are not allowed. This is a BigHit policy to combat fansites and also ensure that you are getting the most out of your experience.
- Here’s a comment with some very good advice about concert etiquette
- The entire experience of a BTS concert is magical. Your seats or how much merch you could afford don’t matter. It’s a once in a lifetime experience and you will never regret it. I can’t even properly describe it, but seeing BTS live was one of the highlights of my life.
Things to Bring - Clear backpack/bag that meets stadium guidelines
- Charged portable charger with cable (two if you’re feeling fancy)
- Earbuds!
- Small wallet. I don't recommend bringing your entire wallet in case it gets stolen. A mini wallet with your ID, a credit/debit card, and cash will suffice.
- Tickets! If you have a digital ticket, bring print-outs as well just in case. I would also bring printouts of the tickets/conformations you will need for your transportation and lodging for the night.
- ARMY bomb and batteries. These can be officially bought through Weverse Shop although they are sold in other places. Ebay and Depop are good bets, but you can’t guarantee they are official.
- Venue map
- Chapstick, deodorant, hand sanitizer, sunscreen stick, wipes, gum, OTC or your personal PRN prescription drugs (if needed), earplugs, and period products if relevant.
- Water bottle and a granola bar. Sometimes security will let you keep them, sometimes they won’t, but it can’t hurt to try. Bring an empty, reusable bottle to fill up once you’re in the venue.
- If you want, add some BTS themed decorations like pins or keychains. There are a lot of fanmade ones on Etsy. BT21 keychains are always cute. Here are some examples.
- Something to do while waiting in line. There are lots of people to chat with, but it may not hurt to bring a game of something like BTS UNO or a slim paperback if you get tired of being social.
- A paper fan if it’s gonna be hot
- A jacket or rain slicker if it’s gonna be cold or rainy
- Here’s an ARMY nurse’s tips on what to bring to keep your health in tip top condition while concertgoing
- Binoculars (not a necessity, but may be nice if you’re in high up seats)
(2/11) Thursday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News
Good morning traders and investors of the smallstreetbets sub! Welcome to Thursday! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Thursday morning-
1. Dow set to add to Wednesday’s record high close
- Dow futures rose Thursday, one day after the 30-stock average hit an intraday all-time high in a volatile session and closed at a record. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq on Wednesday were unable to hold on to their all-time intraday highs and closed slightly lower.
- The Labor Department is out at 8:30 a.m. ET with its weekly report on new jobless claims. Economists expect 760,000 filings for new unemployment benefits for last week. That would be down 19,000 from the prior week, which at 779,000 was the lowest initial claims reading since late November.
- Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday monetary policy needs to stay “patiently accommodative” to support the economy that still faces challenges in the labor market. The employment picture is “a long way” from where it needs to be, the central bank chief told the Economic Club of New York.
2. PepsiCo beats expectations; Uber delivers mixed results
- Earnings were once again a focus for investors. Disney leads the list of major companies reporting quarterly results after Thursday’s closing bell. Before the market opening, PepsiCo reported a fourth-quarter profit of $1.47 per share, a penny better than estimates. Revenue rose 8.8% to $22.46 billion, also exceeding expectations. PepsiCo shares fell slightly in the premarket.
- Uber shares dropped 4% in Thursday’s premarket, the morning after the company reported a smaller-than-expected loss of 54 cents per share in the fourth quarter. However, revenue fell 16% to a lower-than-expected $3.17 billion. Uber’s ride-hailing business slowly recovered, while its delivery business boomed.
3. Cannabis stocks jump in a Reddit-fueled trade reminiscent of GameStop
- Cannabis stocks were soaring as the Reddit crowd that spiked GameStop jumped in. Tilray shares surged nearly 51% on Wednesday, pushing the stock to a year-to-date gain of more than 670%. Not nearly as bet-against as GameStop, Tilray’s short interest was still equal to 22.5% of the shares available for trading, according to FactSet as of the end of January. Tilary added another 10% in Thursday’s premarket. Tilray is no stranger to a short-squeeze rally. The stock spiked more than 1,400% between July and September 2018, but those gains did not last.
4. Dating app firm Bumble set to begin trading after pricing IPO
- When 31-year-old Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd takes her dating app company public Thursday, she’ll be noted not only for her youth but also as one of the few female founders to lead her firm to an IPO. Bumble, whose board comprises 73% women, priced its offering Wednesday evening at $43 per share, raising $2.2 billion and valuing Bumble at around $8 billion. The stock market response will act as a litmus test for companies founded by women, who account for just 7.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs. That’s an all-time high but still a staggeringly low.
5. House impeachment managers to continue their case against Trump
- House managers on Thursday are set to continue to lay out their case against former President Donald Trump at his second impeachment trial. Trump’s lawyers are expected to launch their defense by the end of the week. Chilling security video of last month’s deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, including scenes of rioters searching for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then-Vice President Mike Pence, was introduced Wednesday as a key exhibit by Democratic lawmakers prosecuting the case for why Trump should be convicted of inciting the siege.

What's on everyone's radar for today's trading day ahead here at smallstreetbets?
I hope you all have an excellent trading day ahead today on this Thursday, February 11th, 2021! :)
I draw with crayons so you don't have to. The grind up continues. Tickers on the watchlist this week: CRSR, APPS, PINS, DKNG, SNOW
What am I doing? I do technical analysis and selling cash-secured-puts 3 to 5 weeks out on stocks that are nearing key levels of support. My goal is to collect premium, but should I get assigned I have absolutely zero problem running the wheel on stocks I want to own.
I watch over 200 stocks, I would say its 90% waiting game and 10% true technical analysis. My levels work, but it's normally because I am patiently waiting for an entry point. Yes that's a lot of tickers to watch, but I research my stocks on weekends and then monitor additional plays & levels during the weekday to see if there is an obvious setup I want to participate in.
Here's a few things regarding my strategy 1. I don't over-leverage with selling multiple spreads because if the stock price blows past your long strike and you assume max loss you need a lot of capital to actually be assigned the shares. For that reason I don't really see selling multiple spreads as a "Theta Gang" play and is still very high risk. If I do open a spread it will be a protective put for $1-5 just to protect myself should the company randomly announce bankruptcy.
2. I only sell cash-secured puts with the capability to be assigned if need be. My goal is to never take a loss on a position and always wheel it back to profitability. If something has changed fundamentally with the stock then yes I will close the position and realize the loss.
3. If IV on a ticker is very low, then yes I will outright buy shares instead.
4. I only aim for 1-4% per week collecting on theta and an occasional earnings theta yolo. No call-buying, no spreads (unless buying a covered put), only put-selling and shares!
Honestly, that's about it. I'll go through some tickers on my watchlist this weekend and what I currently have open.
Open Positions From Last Week
I closed up some positions Thursday before close and raised cash which gave me an opportunity to open new positions when some good entries came about Friday on the dip. Still about 40% cash and will look to enter some trades on Tuesday.
Positions that remain from previous weeks:
COTY, FEYE, GME, JMIA, PLTR. Positions I opened Friday:
CRSR, RKT Chart Rules
Pink Lines = Trading range & channel. I find stocks typically trade within certain channels until an event, such as earnings or some news which changes the fundamentals of the stock price changes the trend and a new channel is formed.
Blue Lines = Key areas of support/resistance. I don't like focusing on supp/res levels every $2 down like some people do. I look at the bigger picture and find where where key levels of buyers come in to grab the stock. I'll try to sell puts there.
Master Plays This Week
I just want to preface this by saying these are not recommendations to buy or sell any stocks. These are stocks that have come through my scanner and met a few criteria for me to sell puts to collect premium. I won't execute on every trade, but if the timing is right I will enter these, that's why they are on my "watchlist". My intention here is to sell the put, collect the premium, or get assigned the shares. If I am assigned the shares, I sell covered-calls trying to lower my cost basis and remain profitable on the play.
CRSR ($38) CRSR chart This ticker finds it's way on my short-list of stocks once again. The channel it's trading in is pretty clear and each break-out at the $42 level gets rejected. If we continue to go down expect some support at $35.50. IMO I don't think it will break through for it to become a downward trend. I'm comfortable selling puts at $35 for February 15 going into the earnings report around then.
Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $35 strike puts sold to open for $3.30 or $330 premium. Return: 10%.
Break-even: I lose if share price goes below $31.70 (20% drop from current level) by expiration.
APPS ($56) APPS chart APPS nearing the mid-way point of the strong upward channel it's been in. I wouldn't be surprised if it begins to trade sideways and consolidates after the share price doubled since November. Earnings are also coming up relatively soon. I will sell the put the week after earnings anticipating a period of consolidation and sideways action before the next move higher and maybe a run going into earnings day.
Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $50 strike puts sold to open for $3.75 or $375 premium. Return: 7.5%
Break-even: $46.25
PINS ($69) PINS chart Finally an entry point into PINS. This ticker really took off over last summer and into the fall, but since December it's been pretty flat. It's right on the $70 level of supp/resistance. If this level breaks down we could see it go back to $65 area. I'll be confident selling my puts at $66 for the week after earnings in mid February. This will give me plenty of time should the stock consolidate or if we get one more push higher going into earnings.
Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $65 strike puts sold to open for $5.40 or $540 premium. Return: 8.5%.
Break-even: $59.50
DKNG ($53) DKNG chart DKNG isn't my favorite to sell puts on because IV isn't as high for the return I could get, but it's been fairly reliable in terms of how it trades. Trend lines on this chart are going back to May instead of just the last 2-3 months. Like clockwork it's stayed within the channel for several 6 now. It is at the top of the channel, but could be due for a breakout if it follows the lead of PENN. Government will be looking for revenues and one of the easiest ways to do this moving forward will be to legalize sports-betting everywhere they can and tax the hell out of it. I am bullish long-term on this industry and really don't mind being assigned shares. I might sell closer to ATM puts here 5 weeks out and try to get an extra kick in premium.
Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $50 strike puts sold to open for $2.65 or $265. Return: 5.3%.
Break-even: $47.35
SNOW ($290) SNOW chart I always liked SNOW, but never got in due to concerns of valuation. For the price action it was experiencing post IPO it also never really had enticing IVs to sell puts against either, which was somewhat strange. Now that the swings in share price the stock is experiencing are narrowing IMO it could be a good time to sell puts with a long-term mindset. This would enable me to get in on some shares at a good price should I be assigned.
Positions on the watchlist 1. Feb 19, 2021 $275 strike put sold to open for $17.00 or $1,700 premium. Return: 6.2%
Break-even: $258

(2/11) Thursday's Pre-Market Stock Movers & News
Good morning traders and investors of the stocks sub! Welcome to Thursday! Here are your pre-market stock movers & news on this Thursday morning-
1. Dow set to add to Wednesday’s record high close
- Dow futures rose Thursday, one day after the 30-stock average hit an intraday all-time high in a volatile session and closed at a record. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq on Wednesday were unable to hold on to their all-time intraday highs and closed slightly lower.
- The Labor Department is out at 8:30 a.m. ET with its weekly report on new jobless claims. Economists expect 760,000 filings for new unemployment benefits for last week. That would be down 19,000 from the prior week, which at 779,000 was the lowest initial claims reading since late November.
- Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell said Wednesday monetary policy needs to stay “patiently accommodative” to support the economy that still faces challenges in the labor market. The employment picture is “a long way” from where it needs to be, the central bank chief told the Economic Club of New York.
2. PepsiCo beats expectations; Uber delivers mixed results
- Earnings were once again a focus for investors. Disney leads the list of major companies reporting quarterly results after Thursday’s closing bell. Before the market opening, PepsiCo reported a fourth-quarter profit of $1.47 per share, a penny better than estimates. Revenue rose 8.8% to $22.46 billion, also exceeding expectations. PepsiCo shares fell slightly in the premarket.
- Uber shares dropped 4% in Thursday’s premarket, the morning after the company reported a smaller-than-expected loss of 54 cents per share in the fourth quarter. However, revenue fell 16% to a lower-than-expected $3.17 billion. Uber’s ride-hailing business slowly recovered, while its delivery business boomed.
3. Cannabis stocks jump in a Reddit-fueled trade reminiscent of GameStop
- Cannabis stocks were soaring as the Reddit crowd that spiked GameStop jumped in. Tilray shares surged nearly 51% on Wednesday, pushing the stock to a year-to-date gain of more than 670%. Not nearly as bet-against as GameStop, Tilray’s short interest was still equal to 22.5% of the shares available for trading, according to FactSet as of the end of January. Tilary added another 10% in Thursday’s premarket. Tilray is no stranger to a short-squeeze rally. The stock spiked more than 1,400% between July and September 2018, but those gains did not last.
4. Dating app firm Bumble set to begin trading after pricing IPO
- When 31-year-old Bumble CEO Whitney Wolfe Herd takes her dating app company public Thursday, she’ll be noted not only for her youth but also as one of the few female founders to lead her firm to an IPO. Bumble, whose board comprises 73% women, priced its offering Wednesday evening at $43 per share, raising $2.2 billion and valuing Bumble at around $8 billion. The stock market response will act as a litmus test for companies founded by women, who account for just 7.4% of Fortune 500 CEOs. That’s an all-time high but still a staggeringly low.
5. House impeachment managers to continue their case against Trump
- House managers on Thursday are set to continue to lay out their case against former President Donald Trump at his second impeachment trial. Trump’s lawyers are expected to launch their defense by the end of the week. Chilling security video of last month’s deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, including scenes of rioters searching for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and then-Vice President Mike Pence, was introduced Wednesday as a key exhibit by Democratic lawmakers prosecuting the case for why Trump should be convicted of inciting the siege.

What's on everyone's radar for today's trading day ahead here at stocks?
I hope you all have an excellent trading day ahead today on this Thursday, February 11th, 2021! :)
A note to the subreddit community
This is a pre-emptive strike because I feel it in the air. Since B8, you may have noticed a ton of threads being made asking
the same questions again and again. You may also be wondering why people don't just search the answer, since just about every question conceivable is out there with an answer, whether in pinned official threads or answered via the community. Well I say to you this - please don't get aggro with these posters. I get it,
believe me... I've been answering the same few questions for two years lol, and no amount of pinned threads, sticky comments, automods, or PSAs seems to stop them coming.
If I have a question I will scour the internet looking for the answer. Sometimes I will be resigned to not knowing the answer if I can't find it myself, but if I must know then as a last resort I may then post online and ask. That is how I roll. Some people simply don't operate that way. They prefer to go direct to source and want the reply given directly to them. Some want human interaction, and I've seen people ignore the automod who has the correct answer in favour of back and forwarding wrong troubleshoot information with another community member. Some are kids, and don't really consider searching, nor contemplate the impact of asking a question that has been asked a million times. Some are simple bad searchers, lol (me in a grocery store) or maybe they are literally brand new to the community and brand new to reddit.
What does it all mean? It means that different people have different approaches, but it does not mean they are out to cause trouble or annoy anyone; that is just how they roll and that is their preference. Please always give each other the benefit of the doubt that the poster meant no harm and is just tryna enjoy the game that we all enjoy here. Rather than spoonfeed, it's totally legit to push the poster towards the answer, like 'hey check the steam news', or 'hey check out this other guy's post made an hour ago'. You can even link them to this post! But the important part is not losing patience. And also don't forget, it will die down after a few days. :)
If you are one of these folk I'm taking about who has a question but can't find the answer, here is the answer to every question you may have asked.
If you are getting infinite loading: You gotta remove your mods, and then (even if you had no mods)
delete the folder Documents/mygames/BladeAndSorcery. This is the golden fix and if you desire to know why, check this out
https://steamcommunity.com/app/629730/discussions/2/2450469119947281759/ You gotta remove this folder manually; reinstalling wont work.
My performance in is not good Assuming it's flat out not a spec issue (B&S is a hungry game), then are you on 8.3 live version or did you manually opt into the beta. If on live version, that is the issue -
https://steamcommunity.com/games/629730/announcements/detail/2957137317359486740 If on 8.4, got any mods? If so remove them then delete the folder Documents/mygames/BladeAndSorcery. If no mods, try delete the folder Documents/mygames/BladeAndSorcery.
My mods are not working: As always,
as with every update now and in the future, there is a massive possibility that mods will break since code is changing. This is an Early Access game, meaning the game is incomplete and being built as we speak, so code changes will keep happening all the way to version 1.0. If there were no code changes, the game would never progress and the current version would be the fully released game, so mod breaking is unavoidable.
The solution: Stick with the stable versions, because at least they only occur once every few months, so you will get months of no issues from your mods. If you are prone to being upset by broken mods, stick with U7 or U8.3 until the 8.4 version exits beta.
Don't forget the big beta warning from the opt in news that said if you get sad or stressed by breaking mods, don't opt into the beta.
https://i.imgur.com/av4LtLN.png Beta suggests there are gonna be chaotic changes happening rapidly and dramatically; things will break, things will be unbalanced, things will be buggy, etc. It is absolutely only for enthusiasts, curious to see the latest developments, and is absolutely not for people expecting to see a polished product. The opposite of that in fact, because you are seeing the raw WIP. The live version is the version that is more stable and calm and this is the version you should be on if you want stability and calmness, and want your mods to stay working.
When will XYZ mod be ready? When will Outer Rim be updated? Just give the modders time. Most are really quick and update in a day or two. For big mods like Outer Rim or Medieval MegaPack there is more work to be done, so be patient and remember the modders are using their own free time to do us all a service by making mods. If you make modders mad then it will stop being fun for them, and they will stop modding, simple as that.
Rather than wait for mod updates, can I just revert to Beta 7? No it's not possible, you can only revert to full updates like 8.3.
Why not release a beta 7 as an option so I can keep playing beta 7 mods? It would be great, but Steam does not allow developers to upload minor incremental versions. To get B7 as an extra download, it would have to be uploaded like it was a full update or separate second beta. But consider this is a minor patch, to a beta update, of an incremental game version, of an Early Access game, and the only reason anyone would want B7 is to use third party mods. The full version of 8.4 is going to be out soon as the full live consumer version. Again, remember that this is a WIP beta for hardcore fans who simply cannot wait to see all the latest WIP features of the game itself, and NOT the consumer version, which is for more casual players who want to just load up, mess around with mods, and play a game with no fuss.
The game camera seems shaky or jittering since Beta 8: This was fixed with a hotfix about 30 minutes after the update was released. It was mostly reported on Quest / Virtual Desktop, but not exclusively. If you still have shaky camera, double check you don't have a pending game update (the hotfix from yesterday)
I am having issues with the Quest / Virtual Desktop, or Quest controller issues This is where it gets tricky. The Quest (and virtual desktop, alvr, oculus link, sidequest, etc) are NOT officially supported, so if there are issues on their end then there is nothing that can be done because it would be up to the devs of those software to make their software compatible with this game, not the other way around. I will try my best to help people with Quest issues, but please be aware I don't know all the ins and outs of the Quest and the workarounds people are using to get the Quest working with B&S, because again this is someone else's software and nothing to do with B&S. Someone was telling me about copying jsons to other folders and stuff, and that is all news to me. We have no way to test or troubleshoot these Quest issues because we are playing the game for normally for PCVR as it was intended, and not using these workarounds like Virtual Desktop. Your best bet is reaching out to the devs of those softwares or checking in with their communities for answers, as those folk will be more in touch with it.
I Want to Buy An AR Receiver But I'm Under 21--A Guide to Options
At initial posting, I don't expect this to be complete. I think the first few times I posted these options as comment replies it took a few helpful users to get all of them down. This will be actively updated for at least a little while so if you remember one I've forgotten or have corrections or sources that would improve the writeup as a whole, feel free to post as comments or DM me and we'll address them. I only got seven and I swear at one point I had at least eight. This comes up a lot and I'm tired of typing the same replies every time, so now I'll be able to link this steaming pile of word shit. There are going to be a lot of words here partly because there need to be and partly because I like to hear myself talk. You don't get a BLUF or TLDR. Suck it up, Buttercup.
Let's knock some basics out of the way before we get to our options.
I want to buy an AR receiver but I'm under 21. Can I receive it from an FFL? Good for you. You cannot. An FFL cannot transfer a lower receiver to an individual under 21.
What? But why?! From the ATF: "A frame or receiver is a type of firearm “other than a shotgun or rifle” and the transfer by a licensee to an individual less than 21 years of age would be prohibited."
But I live in insert free state here.
Shoot! I forgot the part where state law trumps federal law. You can stop reading here. You beat me.
But I'm going to build a rifle with a barrel >=16" and that's legal for me! Tough titties because that doesn't matter for the transferring FFL.
But my receiver isn't stripped, it's a complete receiver with a stock on it! Tough titties because until a barreled upper receiver has been attached, it's still just a receiver. This is the other side of the coin that lets you buy a complete receiver with a stock, remove the stock and attach a <16" barreled upper, and still legally have a pistol.
This is unfair! No shit. This is gun control in action. Now that you can vote, vote. I don't like it either but it's the law, so let's work around it.
Can I have my friend/older sibling/parents pick it up for me? Kinda sorta maybe. Depending on the state, relationship, and arrangement this goes from a light grey area to a dark black area. We'll come back to this.
Can I have my FFL just attach my upper? Hey asshole, wait until we get to the list.
I can't use any of your options because I live in insert unfree state here.
Can I just go buy one in a different state? No. As a general rule you can buy long guns (complete shotguns and rifles) from states you are not a resident of from an FFL but they must be legal in your home state. You cannot receive handguns or receivers outside of your state of residence. Sure you could purchase the receiver but it would have to be shipped to an FFL in your state of residence and then you're back in the same boat. You also cannot purchase any firearm in a private sale outside of your state of residence.
These options have varying degrees of cost, time, skill, and legality involved. There will also be state-specific restrictions. I will do my best to note those but I do not live in every state and I don't care to learn the fine details of every state's laws. It is up to you to learn your specific laws and choose how to comply with them. These options are listed in no particular order. One option being listed before another does not mean it is faster, cheaper, easier, or more legal. 1) Wait until you're 21 This is a shitty option so let's get it out of the way first. It's going to be time consuming and boring. At least it's free and legal.
2) D.I.Y. I'm going to lump all the spooky ghost guns in here. Some states are starting to pass laws against home made guns. This is when you get to weigh things like "how do they prove it?" and "how likely am I to get caught?" I would
totally never advocate anything but 100% compliance with the law as written but you're mostly free men and women so who am I to tell you how to live.
The two most common choices for ARs are 3D printing and 80% lowers. For a relatively small (compared to the hobby as a whole) investment it tooling, you'll be able to make/complete your own receivers at home. All the armchair attorneying surrounding selling them later, having someone else finish them for you, borrowing tooling, etc. can be saved for later. That's not particularly relevant here.
There are some other cool options like the Flat Spot kit that has you weld sheets of steel together to make a receiver. If you're real crafty, you can do things like
melt cans into a block and then machine it before stepping up your game to
melting spent brass into a block before machining it. Any of these will take some degree of skill and your finished product can range from "damn that's nice!" to "literally unusable, try again but be better."
3) Private sales This is heavily state dependent. If your state has universal background checks and/or does not permit the ownership of handguns by those under 21 (not even sure if that's a thing) go ahead and just skip to
4.
If your state does allow private sales then you should be able to legally purchase a receiver in one. Using your favorite marketplace app or gun show is probably your best bet. Meet up with the stranger you found online, give them cash, receive product. Use all proper prudence when it comes to your own safety.
As a note about gun shows, there is no "gun show loophole." Many sellers at gun shows are FFLs and still will not be able to sell to you. You'll need to find a private individual.
This option should be fairly easy but
you have to do the legwork and it carries some degree of risk.
4) Type 07 FFL Here's the ATF's list of FFL types. Remember when you tried to steal my thunder at the beginning and asked about having your dealer turn your receiver into a complete firearm for you? Now is the time for that.
There's a good chance that your friendly Mom and Pop Gun Shop just holds a Type 01, "Dealer in Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices." They're licensed to sell firearms, but not to manufacture firearms. Turning a complete receiver into a complete rifle is physically as easy as putting a complete upper on it and pushing two pins but legally is more complex. Mom and Pop should not legally do this and transfer it to you without also holding a Type 07.
A Type 07 is a "Manufacturer of Firearms Other Than Destructive Devices." These folks would be able to legally "complete" your rifle for you. I don't know if you can hold a 07 without also holding a 01 but in this case I assume they need both, otherwise your 07 would need to transfer the complete rifle to a 01 to transfer to you.
There's going to be some extra cost and work here for you. CALL YOUR DAMN 07 BEFORE YOU ORDER TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE WILLING TO DO THIS!!
I don't hold a 07 (or 01) so this next part is a bit of half remembered reading on my part. First, I'm pretty sure the 07 that completes the rifle will need to engrave/stamp their information on the lower in addition to whatever is there from the original manufacturer. This means that in addition to the Spike's Tactical info and tacky "own the libs" unicorn, you're going to have "Jim Bobs 07,
your shitty town here." Your Mk18 clone will never recover. Second, you may have to pay extra because your manufacturer is going to incur
FAET (from TTB.gov). To add to the list of things I am not, I am not a tax lawyer, so I can't say how valuation is determined. If the shop charges $50 to attach your upper to your lower and add their info, is the 11% FAET $5.50?
Any 07s, I'd love your input here. 5) Buy a complete rifle This option kinda sucks but remains an option. You can buy a complete rifle, sell off every part you don't need to recoup some costs, and then build as you see fit. The big downside to this is that the lower may never be a pistol. Even if you take the stock off, it started as a rifle and is forever a rifle.
6) Gifting This is when we get to the grey areas. Let's look at the text from the
new 4473. Opening the PDF will show you the full form. Emphasis is mine, and the examples should help clear things up.
Question 21.a. Actual Transferee/Buyer: For purposes of this form, a person is the actual transferee/buyer if he/she is purchasing the firearm for him/herself or otherwise acquiring the firearm for him/herself. (e.g., redeeming the firearm from pawn, retrieving it from consignment, firearm raffle winner). A person is also the actual transferee/buyer if he/she is legitimately purchasing the firearm as a bona fide gift for a third party. A gift is not bona fide if another person offered or gave the person completing this form money, service(s), or item(s) of value to acquire the firearm for him/her, or if the other person is prohibited by law from receiving or possessing the firearm.
EXAMPLES: Mr. Smith asks Mr. Jones to purchase a firearm for Mr. Smith (who may or may not be prohibited). Mr. Smith gives Mr. Jones the money for the firearm. Mr. Jones is NOT THE ACTUAL TRANSFEREE/BUYER of the firearm and must answer “no” to question 21.a. The licensee may not transfer the firearm to Mr. Jones. However, if Mr. Brown buys the firearm with his own money to give to Mr. Black as a gift (with no service or tangible thing of value provided by Mr. Black), Mr. Brown is the actual transferee/buyer of the firearm and should answer “yes” to question 21.a. However, the transferoseller may not transfer a firearm to any person he/she knows or has reasonable cause to believe is prohibited under 18 U.S.C. 922(g), (h), (n), or (x).
So, what does this mean? Gifting is legal in most states.
A bona fide gift (nothing in exchange) from another person to you is entirely legal. Some may only permit gifts between immediate family members.
If you offer anything in return or their are conditions for the gift, it is not a bona fide gift, and the transfer is not legal. Giving your mom money to buy you a lower is a crime.
Now, do you owe your father an outstanding debt strikingly similar to the cost of a lower, and when he gives you the gift you remember to pay your debt? That's not an impossible scenario but it's pretty suspicious. Straw purchases can be tough to identify and may not be worth pursuing but they're still federal felonies. Be careful skirting the law. Especially since if you're not old enough to buy your own lower, you have a lot of future to ruin by catching a firearms charge.
7) Bamboozle the FFL Find an FFL that thinks that a stocked receiver = rifle or one that doesn't know what a 07 is.
I'm not going to advocate for this one by any measure. Even if you get the lower with no liability for yourself, you screwed over your FFL. Still, I had someone message me that their FFL attached their upper to their lower and transferred it as a rifle. I have to assume that if they didn't add their own markings, that FFL was only a Type 01 and did a no no. I personally know a guy who bought a complete lower from an FFL at 20 because it had a stock on it and the FFL thought that meant it counted as a rifle. It didn't and that sale shouldn't gave been able to proceed.

GME melt-up: how I accidentally made 10k when someone else's account got liquidated into mine
I know many people here lost a lot and I don't want to add insult to injury. This story speaks to the sheer luck of the GME thing and I hope you can take something from it. Idk where else to post this because WSB is ass now
Last Tuesday, the 26th: Pre-peak. Price was around 100 and a bunch of normies were talking about it on Twitter. I was convinced this was the top. I did a couple
145/150 bear call spreads exp. 1/29*. Max gain was $200 if it stayed under 145 thru Friday. Max loss was $800 if it closed above 150.
Seemed legit until GME blew past 150 in what felt like 5 minutes and tagged 250 after hours. I was freaking out all night because I thought my brokerage might calculate the risk wrong and partially liquidate me. Basically, I thought I could lose 15-20k to volatility/poor execution even though I was only theoretically down ~$500. I got like 2 hours of broken sleep.
Market open on the 27th: Price is 320. Retail brokerages are full of traffic and super laggy. When I finally get in, I put up a limit order for the full $800 loss. I just wanted to move on with my life. On a normal day, an algorithm would have scooped me immediately because it was arbitrage, but I couldn't find any takers. Probably because it was so deep ITM. I was sweating and my account value was jumping around in 20k swings.
Around 9:45 my account value stops moving and it's pinned 10k above where I started. Must be a bug because my app is laggy and I can't navigate. I go take an anxiety dump.
I get back and it's still pinned. Scroll through my positions and the GME calls are gone. Hmmmm. I'm mentally fried and it takes me a full minute to decide to investigate
my trades screen*. Turns out I got credited $9200 for what should have been an $800 debit. 50x my max theoretical gain. The only explanation I can think of is that someone else got liquidated before I did, and I was the only bidder at their yard sale.
I used to gamble a lot on risky positions and vowed years ago to never do it again. But here I went and despite trying to limit my risk/reward, I got caught in the meme again. This time, I just happened to end up on the winning side despite being wrong. I hope this is just more proof that betting on hype is truly a matter of luck. There's no such thing as skill when it comes to herd mentality and algorithms operating on a nanosecond timescale.
Take care. Invest in Coca Cola

I Want to Buy An AR Receiver But I'm Under 21--A Guide to Options
At initial posting, I don't expect this to be complete. I think the first few times I posted these options as comment replies it took a few helpful users to get all of them down. This will be actively updated for at least a little while so if you remember one I've forgotten or have corrections or sources that would improve the writeup as a whole, feel free to post as comments or DM me and we'll address them. I only got seven and I swear at one point I had at least eight. This comes up a lot and I'm tired of typing the same replies every time, so now I'll be able to link this steaming pile of word shit. There are going to be a lot of words here partly because there need to be and partly because I like to hear myself talk. You don't get a BLUF or TLDR. Suck it up, Buttercup.
Let's knock some basics out of the way before we get to our options.
I want to buy an AR receiver but I'm under 21. Can I receive it from an FFL? Good for you. You cannot. An FFL cannot transfer a lower receiver to an individual under 21.
What? But why?! From the ATF: "A frame or receiver is a type of firearm “other than a shotgun or rifle” and the transfer by a licensee to an individual less than 21 years of age would be prohibited."
But I live in insert free state here.
Shoot! I forgot the part where state law trumps federal law. You can stop reading here. You beat me.
But I'm going to build a rifle with a barrel >=16" and that's legal for me! Tough titties because that doesn't matter for the transferring FFL.
But my receiver isn't stripped, it's a complete receiver with a stock on it! Tough titties because until a barreled upper receiver has been attached, it's still just a receiver. This is the other side of the coin that lets you buy a complete receiver with a stock, remove the stock and attach a <16" barreled upper, and still legally have a pistol.
This is unfair! No shit. This is gun control in action. Now that you can vote, vote. I don't like it either but it's the law, so let's work around it.
Can I have my friend/older sibling/parents pick it up for me? Kinda sorta maybe. Depending on the state, relationship, and arrangement this goes from a light grey area to a dark black area. We'll come back to this.
Can I have my FFL just attach my upper? Hey asshole, wait until we get to the list.
I can't use any of your options because I live in insert unfree state here.
Can I just go buy one in a different state? No. As a general rule you can buy long guns (complete shotguns and rifles) from states you are not a resident of from an FFL but they must be legal in your home state. You cannot receive handguns or receivers outside of your state of residence. Sure you could purchase the receiver but it would have to be shipped to an FFL in your state of residence and then you're back in the same boat. You also cannot purchase any firearm in a private sale outside of your state of residence.
These options have varying degrees of cost, time, skill, and legality involved. There will also be state-specific restrictions. I will do my best to note those but I do not live in every state and I don't care to learn the fine details of every state's laws. It is up to you to learn your specific laws and choose how to comply with them. These options are listed in no particular order. One option being listed before another does not mean it is faster, cheaper, easier, or more legal. 1) Wait until you're 21 This is a shitty option so let's get it out of the way first. It's going to be time consuming and boring. At least it's free and legal.
2) D.I.Y. I'm going to lump all the spooky ghost guns in here. Some states are starting to pass laws against home made guns. This is when you get to weigh things like "how do they prove it?" and "how likely am I to get caught?" I would
totally never advocate anything but 100% compliance with the law as written but you're mostly free men and women so who am I to tell you how to live.
The two most common choices for ARs are 3D printing and 80% lowers. For a relatively small (compared to the hobby as a whole) investment it tooling, you'll be able to make/complete your own receivers at home. All the armchair attorneying surrounding selling them later, having someone else finish them for you, borrowing tooling, etc. can be saved for later. That's not particularly relevant here.
There are some other cool options like the Flat Spot kit that has you weld sheets of steel together to make a receiver. If you're real crafty, you can do things like
melt cans into a block and then machine it before stepping up your game to
melting spent brass into a block before machining it. Any of these will take some degree of skill and your finished product can range from "damn that's nice!" to "literally unusable, try again but be better."
3) Private sales This is heavily state dependent. If your state has universal background checks and/or does not permit the ownership of handguns by those under 21 (not even sure if that's a thing) go ahead and just skip to

Meet up with the stranger you found online, give them cash, receive product. Use all proper prudence when it comes to your own safety.

This option should be fairly easy but
you have to do the legwork and it carries some degree of risk.

For newer buyers mainly EU/UK
Hi I'm Mwnci. A lot of people from this Reddit have helped me over the past few days and I wanna try and pay that forward. I don't want to give un-educated advice, especially on financial matters, I just want to try an show what MY journey has been like. Hopefully this will alleviate a little of the tension for new buyers, without being preachy. If you're interested, here are a few things I've learned from before I bought to now.
I'm a new buyer also, I bought about two weeks ago. Over those two weeks I've shoved a lot of information into my brain (R.I.P my sleep pattern) .
Before you buy - Obviously step one is join the subreddit. I've used Reddit for a while but I actually JOINED Reddit to be part of this sub. Initially I couldn't post, I didn't have enough Karma so they thought I was a bot (which is totally fair). This might happen to you, don't sweat it, after a day (through Mod intervention I suppose) I was able to post. They have to do this as the page has become very popular over the past few weeks, which I assume is an easy in for sneaky BOT espionage?
Anyway use this sub and other sources to decide if DOGE is for you. your gonna see a lot of phrases like "pump and dump" "paper hands" Diamond hands" "to the moon" and phrases that imply trading advice like "hold" "hodl" "buy the dip" etc. A lot of vernacular you'll learn just from browsing this Reddit and interacting, which can be scary, but honestly everyone here has been lovely to me so far.
At this point I had decided my gameplan was to buy some DOGE and hold for a while. Generally that's the overall gameplan you'll see in the sub, but there are a few things I had learned from the step above that I thought were important..
- Rule 1! The one piece of financial advice that I completely agree with: Don't put in more than you can afford to lose. I'm not rich by any means, but personally me and a buddy decided that £50 each was worth it as a learning experience even if we lost it all. It's a lot like betting to be honest, bet a little of the present to change your future, but don't bet your future to change a little of the present.
- Some people will tell you they're holding when they're not. if you've already decided to hold, this doesn't really matter to you, but it can feel like it does. don't get caught up watching the dips in the day graph, switch to the monthly view and look at all that delicious green.
- You don't HAVE to hold. Maybe this is your very first step in becoming a day trader. Don't let anybody shame you because you made a little money, but gained a lot of experience. in all likelihood, your gonna end up buying the dip again anyway.
- Doge to a Dollar. This is one of the main ambition for Hold Gang as far as I can see. Some say it will reach, some say it won't. from what I could see it is mathematically achievable but possibly not socially achievable. It would take a helluva lot of people to buy DOGE. There's a lot of info about market caps, infinite production.. etc if your trying to find the perfect price to sell at I cant help you. it may get to $0.99 and everyone in the world sells except me., which would be a bummer, but hey! Im ok! because I Didn't violate Rule 1!
Now that you know if you want to get in, remember to also figure out how to get out. A lot of people don't do this and then panic themselves when they feel they need to sell. If you're in the UK like me its looking like I have to go DOGE > Kraken > Euro > sepa transfer into GBP. I might be doing that in a stupid way, I am still learning after all, but id recommend researching Kraken and SEPA transfers. Its good to know about these things anyway. The more steps it takes the more fees.
For profit or prosperity if you've decided to buy DOGE responsibly then good for you. you may want to use your own apps to buy. I didn't use app's so I cant really help you there. I've heard bad things about RobinHood though since I've been here. I'm sure some of the nice people in the sub can give recommendations.
There is a pinned how to buy Doge post from a mod at the top of the Reddit page. I used the instructions there to buy doge and make a wallet. It was the first time buying crypto for me so it was a little spooki. But some nice people on the page made me feel welcomed.
You may have issues with Wallet syncing. Fortunately It was smooth for me, but there are already posts on the page with support fixes if you need them.
So you've responsibly bought and stored 8Billion DOGE coins. Good for you. but what now? Well, i watched a graph from 3 hours, but I wouldn't recommend that. If you're looking to flip quick I wish you luck, but this is where our paths diverge. If your in it for the hold, try not to watch the graph tick. I use
https://www.coindesk.com/price/dogecoin if I do want to see the graph easily. Kraken has a tool for more in depth tracking which is fun to learn, and I've recently started watching
https://www.twitch.tv/doctor_degen if you want some banter and stonks talk in the background. I check in a few times a day. I let the hype get me hype but I try not to let the dips get me low.
Thanks for reading my essay if you've got this far. If I had to stress on part it would be Rule 1. this wont be a fun ride if the stress gets you before the payout. Remember this isn't financial advice, I'm just trying to make it slightly less scary if you are new. I hope this helps at least someone.
Much love xOxO
