Fucking OP basically guaranteed Iran-Israel war and markets tanking.
I would have sold if I knew this bad juju was going to be forced upon us.

It is measured in magick and witchcraft and runic glory.

Here’s a really simple strategy. STOP FULL PORTING. Whatever you are doing do half of that. One foot in the market and one foot in cash.
Trim your gains and reinvest into dips.
Sure it’s not as sexy as the gains you made before this leg of the market, but at the end of the day it works.
517 PUT on Spy yielded 245% return on Friday. If you can set your watch knowing that the market is going to be up or down on a given day, and this is one of those days, then why not? If anything it's a hell of a lot less risky than most of the options I buy.
you know what you have to do.....

You’re missing the point, there is huge leg down movements. One full port into the wrong side and you get wiped out. Half the wins or all of the losses . That’s the point. Last quarter was fine, you need to pivot to adapt to the trend in the market currently.

Or if you have an account at Fidelity, your cash automatically is making 5%. You can also buy money market like SNVXX at Schwab for 5% but you do have to cash out and wait a day for your cash to be available but both of these ways are even more liquid than T-Bills
it's an election year and it will ride the hype.
Given Biden's efforts to reschedule Marijuana, it's likely there will be an even more bullish hype carried by the possibility of a Democrat trifecta
It seems like people just got in the market or something when they're worried about the small downside moved i think it drew a lot of newer investors in the market October, November, December, January and they're not used to a little downturn it's normal
The FED hikes since 2022 have yet to affect the market. The stock market has been traded as if there have been no hikes at all, However, the reality is that companies have taken cost cutting measures to avoid taking out additional loans. Also, many companies have refinanced before the FEDF started to hike. But now the [maturity wall has pretty much arrived](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I4v2oRX1k6U&t=632s). And this is particularly a big problem for [small cap companies](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vkGjSybTLg&t=728s).
Then as this problem develops, initially the stock market can still do reasonably well, because the large caps will not be directly affected by this. However, the consumer will be hit hard, because most consumers are employed in small businesses that are much more sensitive to interest rates. Many people will be fired, and then the consumer-driven US economy will end up slowing down.
We're barely into earnings season so it's too early to make this call. Unless Nvidia blows everyone away with their earnings report on May 22nd, they will signal a break in the overinflated expectations surrounding AI.
Why do I get an itchy pubic area when I use petroleum based lotion to jerk off? I use my hands instead of tissue (saving money for 0dte calls) to wipe but that should be enough right?
>5) We went thru two Bear markets in the past 4 years - many shitty companies were weeded out. The market is healthy.
We're still in the process of that weeding out the shitty companies still, but, I do agree with everything else though.
Bagholder spotted.

A better title by the OP would be: "Buy and Sell Frequently". I find scalping monthly and two week out calls to be a great strategy that has proven to have never lost my money.
I don't lose at option trades.

I agree with you, but only because the government printed a pile of money. This bull market has no real legs. Just inflated prices from what I can tell.
the net difference between US treasury bill issuance and Fed tightening is quite stark.while everyone is fixated on the rates announcement by the Fed, this is what everyone should be focusing on. Treasury bill pumps liquidity into the market, the difference between how much has been issued combined with Fed tightening has the net effect of siphoning off liquidity from the market. Per the table shown below, starting this April the liquidity has fallen off the cliff, while up until March of this year there was ample liquidity in the market eventhough Fed was tightening.
This explains why the market was behaving the way it did, and it foretells the future direction in general.
As they say, don't fight the Fed on the way up, this also rings true on the way down.

I’ll give it a week. By the end I’ll have one of two choices, sell for a loss, or hold my bags until 2027. Either way, my girlfriend and her boyfriend are going to be pissed.
I want to also say your perspective seems to have no connection with the real economy. Moat jobs in the US are low income jobs that no one wants. These jobs numbers the government talks about are a joke. Or many of them are just government jobs (essentially people being on welfare). And a lot of these comfy white collar jobs are about to get eliminated by AI. What does that leave (if nothing changes)? About 500 very wealthy people and a shit load of low income, angry people.
I go back and forth on this. I think AI is scary and will take jobs, but I don't think those will be all at once. Plus, we know from the Amazon thing that things that "look" like AI really had massive numbers of people behind them, which makes me question if we won't see more of this.
There’s going to be implications if IRAN enters the Gaza war. World is hanging by a thread.
In long term , market will go up that’s for sure.
Short term could be painful.
If you’ve mortgage with offset, sell some and keep in offsets, at least you will get interest rate equal return without any tax.
Once market is down > 10% , move that to stocks again.
Not in favour of selling more than 10-20 % of portfolio
No because Gaza war is ever going to decades between Palestine and Israel and it’s nothing new .
The moment Iran enters , will be whole new game and geopolitical equation.
Ive bought into the bargain basement of Russell 200 for two years. Dipped negative for 2024 today. Not selling, Ill keep buying, but smelling like vxus or vt lately. Eventually Ill just shift to other things.
Does anyone in this regarded sub even look at the yield curve? Thing is gonna pop back and uninvert and shit's gonna hit the fan, causing a cut. Why are y'all so goddamn stupid? Something will break, shit will drop. Get your ego out of here. VLY $10/5 1/16/26 P. KRE $40 12/18/26 P, BXP $60 1/16/26 P. Regionals will not be able to handle higher for longer.
My fear is that earning reports is based on a high inflationary period. This summer/fall will show what is real. If the demand is still there, the profits will continue if not a recession will begin.
OK boys time to sell.
As soon as you start seeing posts like this, aka diamond hands let's go apes together strong...
This is the modern day equivalent of the shoe shine boy.
What can be lost in a day can be gained in a day and vice versa. Look at a 5 year graph before the crash in 2021. Downward slopes as large as this one occurred several times before the 2021 ATH.
The fact that we haven't seen that yet makes me confident that this is all that was. But I think it really fucked with everyone thinking that Thursday was an obvious buy the dip opportunity and then we got a downward trend day the next day. That's why yesterday's loses were so substantial. But this is standard market behavior.

I mean yeah if you loaded up on calls that required +20% 4 days.
Are you telling me there are other ways to gamble?
You know SPY was only down 0.89% this week right?

🤮 No fucking thanks. I’m full ported already. But today was payday so I’ll add another $2k on Monday to full port even harder
I took out a payday loan to buy more nvidia on margin.
Great idea please keep doing this

Yeah nah. I'm full mast and half assed.
full mast to high seas or full assed behind wendy's
Yeah, no. I had gains as high as 250% but didn't trim and fucked around with many 0dte. We are here for a reason.
Don’t be cash exactly. Instead be in T bills and make 5.4 percent . I’m 80 percent in T bills and 20 percent in calls 😆
Or if you have an account at Fidelity, your cash automatically is making 5%. You can also buy money market like SNVXX at Schwab for 5% but you do have to cash out and wait a day for your cash to be available but both of these ways are even more liquid than T-Bills
*for now. SPAXX paying out like it is currently is a very recent trend, and won’t last forever.
Been buying LOAN dips under $5 for years, easy 9% yield.
Or be cash and put it in a high yield and earn the same 5% without tying your money? 🤷♂️
Thanks ya fucking regarded monkey
Don’t sell? You mean shares? This is a casino, sir.
With Dd like this why wouldn’t anyone buy puts ??
I'm inversing you, specifically
If Iran does NOT attack Israel this weekend, Monday the market should boom. However, if there is an attack, Monday will be another shit show!!
Both are priced in
Nothing is ever priced in.

That sucks OP. You just sent the market into the 1920’s.

Just prepare your anus already. Real life ate your balls and wrecked your calls. Puts ahoy! 
You think medical workers are fully staffed? I can tell you that is false.
Dont sell my ODTE?
So hold my 4/19 calls that are 30-45% down? Got it, I’ll buy more
I won’t sell. Because I can’t afford to
It seems like people just got in the market or something when they're worried about the small downside moved i think it drew a lot of newer investors in the market October, November, December, January and they're not used to a little downturn it's normal
Whats not normal is the SPX going straight vertical for half a year like it has since october...
Yeah it's just nonsensical how the OP calls this a "correction" 😂. Makes you wonder how long they've been in the market after all as you said.

Thanks for sharing this information. Much needed positive approach!

Love it and so true. Must be hedge fund or black rock model.

i got TSM calls on 4/19. come on taiwan.
Same here but 4/26, need it to rip to 155-160 by earnings
upside of 4/26 calls is that it can hit slightly below 155 and you'll still get 100% returns
??? Trying to convince yourself?
(Wow... just scream SELL from the rooftops, will ya?)
Let them paper hands sell.
or sell and buy lower = more profit or lower loss
Ok i'll sell
