$134 MILLION of profits on Polymarket by administration insiders
They know Trump's actions ahead of time, place bets, make millions -- as others get bombed, die, or suffer skyrocketing costs of living
Insider trading of securities is ILLEGAL
Insider bets should also be ILLEGAL
@Arrogance_0024 Think in terms of chess…the US just demonstrated what they’re capable of…this will have huge implications on the IRGC calculus going forward.
Happy Easter! 🙏
Today marks the biggest miracle in history.
“Then the angel spoke to the women. “Don’t be afraid!” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He isn’t here! He is risen from the dead, just as he said would happen. Come, see where his body was lying.”
Matthew 28:5-6 NLT
BREAKING: Iran has shot down a US fighter jet according to a source familiar with the incident, and a search and rescue effort is underway to locate two crew, per Axios.
Details include:
1. This would be the first time since the beginning of the Iran War that a US jet was downed by Iran
2. Iranian state media published pictures and videos that allegedly show parts of the downed plane and one of the ejection seats
3. Pictures suggest that the downed plane was an F-15E
4. Iran is offing a "valuable reward" for anyone who can capture the downed pilots
This is a major escalation if true.
I came a long way from my living room in my 1 bedroom apartment I lived there for 10 years. Anything is possible if you keep going, Winners never quit youtube.com/watch?v=0G_yfr…
As noted earlier, I've been contemplating a new strategy given I have a smaller account ($50k).
I know there would be pros and cons to this strategy, so I'd love to hear your feedback and thoughts!
Let's break it down 👇
Strategy: Delta-skewed wheel strategy
Contracts: 3 - 5
CSP Deltas: 0.30 - 0.33
CC Deltas: 0.16 - 0.20 (only at or above cost basis)
DTE: 30 - 45 days
Management: Manage at 50% profit, 21 DTE, or when strike is tested
This delta-skewed strategy combines income generation with capital appreciation so that we get the best of both worlds! For those who are against covered calls, the lower delta helps bridge the gap and provide more captured capital appreciation.
The hardest part is determining which ticker to trade this on. Originally, I was thinking SPYM, but the bid/ask spread is pretty high. I was then considering IWM, but would only be able to trade 1 contract right now unless I sold all of my current positions. I would love enough wiggle room to be able to trade a few contracts so that I can average down if needed. I also don't want to put all my eggs in one basket, so an ETF would be ideal over a single stock. Let me know your thoughts on this strategy and if you have any ticker suggestions for a smaller account!
Always appreciate this community and your input 🙏
I am totally screwed if Bitcoin fails. Life over. Rope and chair scenario if Bitcoin fails for me. However, there is a less than 0.001% chance Bitcoin fails, so i'm comfy 😎
And just like that, another red day. We are hovering on the edge of extreme fear. If we get into the extreme fear zone in the next week or two, I’ll be ready!
@benjamincowen@bariksis Lmfao @bariksis has 5k followers but somehow @benjamincowen has a handful of saved post from the guy and takes the time to ratio him with this chart perfectly aligned 🤣
Notice how Benjamin always gets the most defensive when he’s about to be proven wrong in the most obvious way? It’s been great watching his villain arc manifest since Q4 2025.
I've had several people ask why I hold cash instead of STRC in my Roths, which I trade actively.
Here's why.
STRC is undoubtedly a novel product so I respect the team's creativity in meeting market demand.
And it looks better to me than most fixed income products, which I think is what management is going for.
But it's not a cash substitute.
The reason I hold cash is not to early a long-term return of 3%.
It's to avoid losing purchasing power in a market downturn.
I want to have something that's rock-solid in a market dislocation / downturn.
STRC doesn't fix these criteria.
It has more than once fallen 7-10%.
That's fine for anyone with a looking for a fixed income substitute who has a longer time horizon.
But in my cash allocation I'm keen to hold something that isn't falling at the same time as other assets.
This is partly for psychological reasons (it would be harder to sell STRC down 5-10% to buy other things that look cheaper) and for the practical reason that the general market liquidation risk I fear means there's a good chance I give up all the return on STRC if/when such liquidation happens.
Anyway, I'm not advocating this approach for anyone else unless they are as nervous about asset prices as I am right now.
Good luck out there.
