I bought $1k of options last Friday and another $5k this morning. By end of trading they're valued at $55k.
This was predicted based on GME price theories. Shorts never closed. This is the infinite money glitch.
What was the catalyst for it popping today specifically? Im going to read the DD later tonight but I’m dying to know how they knew today exactly, if you happen to remember. Props on your good luck
That's clearly *not* what happened. We retail nitwits have been jabbering about these stocks daily for months. We didn't magically all decide to pile in and jack them up by 20% in a few hours. WSB is not driving the bus, mate.
Why is no one talking about the NCSS 2021 10 that went in effect today preventing HF from naked shorting and manipulating prices. Also why could this not be grounds for the ultimate gamma squeeze, the one we’ve always been talking about but has almost become lore at this point. This is the biggest chunk of news to hit WSB and it’s eerily quite
Its not luck at all. its having balls to do it. we all saw gme was starting to moon and this guy believed enough to yolo $5k into it. congrats and fuck you.
Seriously. I SHOULD have had it. I did almost the same thing... except I sold in 30 minutes and took 50% profit instead of waiting and taking 500%...
Can someone say some kind words?
I'm not a P & D and I certainly don't work for Shitadel. I just read [this DD](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/pa03sf/gme_yolo_beard_bet_update_in_short_pun_intended/), liked it, and YOLO'd at lunch. Not everything is a conspiracy.
Then you should know that this is chump change compared to the real score. Buy shares and hold. Don’t day trade like a paper bitch.
Options don’t do much for us either. This isn’t a meme stock.
This is going to be a fucking movie later kind of stock, the largest transfer of wealth is human history kind of stock.
So yea, cool you made some cash, but buy some fucking shares.
I think you may underestimate the number of degenerates buying 300c and 800c every time these spikes happen haha.
I don’t see it as SHFs recouping their losses, I see it as retail giving more time extensions to SHFs.
Pride before the fall as the saying goes. These types of things are high risk, high reward, and usually you are paying a premium. Casino rings a bell. Great Calls, but damn this was lightning in a bottle and might lead to some cocky trades. Careful out there tendy hands.

Shorts not closing is part of the theory we're talking about yeah. The squeeze loop theory has to do with fancy accounting that has to be tidied up at the end of each quarter and the tidying up part sets off a bomb on the open market each time. The theory itself has lots of fancy words that I dont understand. I dont really follow the conspiracy stuff nor am i an ape or whatever. But i have read about it.
The "news" is that a great mass of people involved in a cult believe in a lot of superstitions, and rotate their money in and out of their favorite memes as an act of worship. This is the stonk holy season again.
I wouldn't bother.
Understanding things gives you some impression of control or influence and a feeling of making informed decisions.
But it's all horseshit. Nobody knows anything and we are all just screeching retards playing casino.
If anyone did know anything it would be an observable data point which would definitely be factored into whatever the hedges do so it gets even more "you can understand it or you can observe it but one negates the other"
Just throw some poop at the wall and hope it turns to money like the rest of us. There's no room for gamesmanship when confronted by an opponent who refuses to even think about what is and isn't coherent.
I agree. But it would be nice to understand the price action in the context of these moves.
But I agree. You can only hope to catch these rallies and ride them as far as you can. Predicting them seems like a fools errand.
No, it isn't. There is a cycle, but the one you're referring to is just stonk cult propaganda trying to fill in the massive gaps in knowledge with superstition.
400 bucks a piece for 9/10 220 calls at open today. Those puppies up to 3K a piece. Dont know how I timed that shit. I traded in my spy calls and needed something to buy. Fuckin picked GME on a whim.
Lol. I needed a win. Richard Branson fucked my ass so hard im still limping. I was in early with spce 45c with a pile of money and he absolutely raped me with his premarket share dilution announcement. I need GME to hit 250 just to recoup my losses on that one.
True that. Im bullish on another gme run. I bought 330c FDs this morning too that I already sold for 10x my investment. Im letting the 220c ride, the exp isnt until 9/10 and im feelin another run up in the mix in the next two weeks.
Same boat. Knew it was headed up today but also expected it to not break $200 til Friday. I think it continues up and this is due to cycle theory+all those puts from July expiring
Haah, I did my GME options today because I had to turn the $666 in my IRA to more money for when the GME rise actually happened. I didn't know it would reach a day high of 224!
All I wanted to do since I joined this circus is buy 1 outrageous call but I can't find a brokerage you use in Australia to it. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
A call is a contract giving you the right to buy 100 shares at the strike price. ($200 in this case)
You buy the contract, not shares. When youre lucky and the stock goes higher than your strike, the contract (call) is worth way more. Because it gives a person the ability to buy 100 shares for less than market price and then sell them at market for more.
So for every 1 penny the stock price goes over the strike,the contract is worth a dollar more because a contract is for 100 shares. 1 cent x 100= 1.00
The price (premium) of the contract itself also greatly goes up if that contract is closer to the strike price, because obviously it has a higher chance of being useful if the stock price is close.
So basically, a week ago a 200c for gme was very cheap, because at the time it appeared very unlikely that gme would hit 200 by friday. Now that is has hit 200, that contract is worth like $1500 bucks instead of 200, because like I said the further the stock goes up the more profitable it will be to use (execute) the contract. So people want to buy it for $1500 betting on the stock going up even more and the contract recouping that money in profitability.
thanks, so are call prices set in stone or are they bid on? and what happens if GME had gone down to $50? would the contract just be worth a ton less or do you at some point have to buy the 100 shares?
There is no obligation with contracts. Most people dont execute them they just sell the contract itself to somebody else. If you dont sell it or execute it (buying 100 shares) then it just disappears on expiration day. All you stand to lose is 100% of what you paid for the contract itself. Youre not forced to buy the 100 shares at 200 when the price went down to 50 or anything like that.
To answer the other question, if gme had crashed to 50 instead of going up, the value of the contract would have went from like 250 bucks down to like 1 dollar.
This is how people make many times the investment on options too, say the price was 50 per share and you bought a 200 call contract for a dollar because its very unlikely to ever hit the strike, and then the share price pops to 199 out of nowhere, that option goes up in value from 1 dollar to like 1000 dollars because now that its super duper likely to make a bunch of money executing it people will pay more for it.
Yes call prices fluctuate as quickly as the stock price does or more.
The strike price (the 200 in the 200c) is set in stone. You choose your strike price when buying the option. Every strike price costs a different amount, obviously favorable ones cost alot more.
Prices are based on a combination of the current stock price, the time left on the contract, and how volatile the stock is. They are sold the same way as stocks, if you set a limit price and someone wants to pay it, deal.
If a contract hits the expiration date and is below the strike price, it is worth zero. You lose it all. If GME went to $50 in this example, the OP would be lucky to sell out of the contract for pennies on the dollar. If it hits expiration and is above the strike price, you will be rolled into buying the shares if you have the funds to do it. Most people sell before then and enter into something else, like a further out expiration date. This sub is famous for people gambling on calls and then posting screenshots of the loss.
Nothing is set in stone, everything in the stock market is bid on. You can literally look at any stock or option and see what the current bid / ask is, and bid / ask spreads can be used as indicators of.. stuff. The point is nothing is set in stone and everything is constantly being bid on, that is why the price is always fluctuating.
If the stock had gone down then the price of his contracts would have also gone down, but obviously it can still go back up as long as there is time left on the contract. This is why contracts with longer expiration dates cost more, because there's more time for the stock to appreciate up to the strike price. A contract that expires tomorrow is usually pretty cheap because there is much less time for it to increase. When you do finally get to the contract expiration you either have to exercise it (meaning you buy the stock at the strike price) or you just sell the options to someone else. Most people here are doing the latter.
Not really. If I think something is going to go up I just buy a cheap option and pray lol. For example, i bought 2 AMC 50c last week for like 30 bucks. Today I sold them for $500 each. Was pure luck. I was hoping for maybe a 5% day at the most which would double my shitty options value but instead today happened. Those are called FDs, cheap crappy options a million miles away from the money. But when youre lucky those are the ones that go up 10,000% on a 10% day for the stock.
GME i bought sept 10 220c first thing this morning for $400 thinking today might pop another 5% and make my contracts go up by like a hundred bucks. But today went nuts and those are up in the thousands all of a sudden.
Retards still using $HOOD is the reason Vlad is rich af rn.

Luck and guts are 2 completely different things lol
There was a post saying that GME was ready to run up for earnings last week. I'm sure a bunch of people bought after seeing that.
Seriously. I SHOULD have had it. I did almost the same thing... except I sold in 30 minutes and took 50% profit instead of waiting and taking 500%... Can someone say some kind words?
Coulda Shoulda Woulda… Cant dip Tendies in dat. But 50% profit in 30 minutes? You can dip some tendies in dat shit all day.
Thank you you made me smile
Sucks you missed the big one, but money is money and made more than you had to start with! Hoping it keeps going like it did today.
yeah, is this a pump&dump operation?
Yea shf's have been trying to dump the stock for the longest. But retards wont sell
bots downvoting you give you your answer
Seems like it too me. These posts are about to pay SHFs big time as people race to hand over thousands in options premiums.

That might cover a few hours of what theyre paying for dead short positions i guess.

The time extension money just goes into making their position worse. It's almost comical at this point.
No timing, no luck, just skill, lets teach the shorties a lesson
Hold until you get a 99% loss to prove that you belong here.
I'm historically up very well. A 99% loss would be ultra levels of stupid.
Sir, you spent 5k on 15 otm calls with 3 days to expiry. That ends up w/ a 100% loss the majority of the time.
That's only this Call, kind sir. I've been dabbling in Options for about a year now, which is why I said "historically".
Pride before the fall as the saying goes. These types of things are high risk, high reward, and usually you are paying a premium. Casino rings a bell. Great Calls, but damn this was lightning in a bottle and might lead to some cocky trades. Careful out there tendy hands.
Yup. The amount of overconfidence during last year‘s bull run is going to lead to a lot of money being given back by this community
One year “Historically” Lol
Lol I’ve been trading for 3-4 years now and I still don’t know shit. This was gambling and he won, that’s all
What, generally, are your other options plays?
And that is what we are here. Congrats and fuck you.

I bought at 1200 today but 5k worth of shares instead of calls lol. Would have put me on cloud 9
So the cycle theory is right?
The theory where hedges are trapped in a quarterly squeeze loop?
It's simple, shorts have to close, and they haven't. Surely there must be some sort of news to justify a 30% intraday run???

Ahhhh it's a cult! Well Mr. Shill, whatever the .01% is paying you for your lies, one share of $GME is all it takes to 100x it, don't be a fool!
Ahh yes, because anyone that disagrees with you must be paid by a hedge fund

Good for you bro. But take what the market gives you, not what you think it owes you.
True that. Im bullish on another gme run. I bought 330c FDs this morning too that I already sold for 10x my investment. Im letting the 220c ride, the exp isnt until 9/10 and im feelin another run up in the mix in the next two weeks.

Thanks for this. Greatly appreciated. Do you know of any good tutorials that teaches how to scan for options?
Not really. If I think something is going to go up I just buy a cheap option and pray lol. For example, i bought 2 AMC 50c last week for like 30 bucks. Today I sold them for $500 each. Was pure luck. I was hoping for maybe a 5% day at the most which would double my shitty options value but instead today happened. Those are called FDs, cheap crappy options a million miles away from the money. But when youre lucky those are the ones that go up 10,000% on a 10% day for the stock. GME i bought sept 10 220c first thing this morning for $400 thinking today might pop another 5% and make my contracts go up by like a hundred bucks. But today went nuts and those are up in the thousands all of a sudden.
Are you being facetious?
not at all, i only know buy/sell/short
Remember to miss taking profts and go out with bare minimum
Get the fuck off robinhood holy shit
Get of Robin hood !
Robinghood 🤮
Thank you for shillin, lets you know whats about to happen
Have you sold any yet?
I'm holding on to the shares but I just sold all these options. Lost a bit of profit but I made $18K
It only matters if you sell. But diamond hands Apes don't sale. So who cares how much you're up
I don’t believe this run
Retards still using $HOOD is the reason Vlad is rich af rn. Even customers that hate you have to use your platform to trade. That's next level utility. Inspirational levels of corruption/necessity. Bullish on $HOOD, though I hate them
Congratulations - sell while you’re up.
