@DarrenPowell2 I hope more to come. I need better entries on a number of positions I want to build.

Looking like the market is going to open lower tomorrow

@paxtrader777 Your question is in the past tense.

Here is a question, what happened if SpaceX IPO fails next week?

@valerijatrades1 *then

Year to date option profits. Once I can get this to $100,000 a year than life gets on an easy mode. Very excited for the challenge

@Hotshot_Movie went so deep put her name to sleep

Spencer Pratt broke Nithya Raman so badly she forgot her own name.

@StockMKTNewz Life

What is the 1 thing that is more valuable than everything else?

@_TraderLarry as the kids say "you on one"

I think my next office desk will be something like this:

@RealSimpleAriel unrealized loses are not yours

You want to know a secret that changed my mentality around money? Scenario: April 1st your portfolio was 100k and we went on this magical run where it climbed up to 140k as of yesterdays close. Then a day like today comes along and you happened to get stopped on all your positions and you are now sitting at 130k. Did you lose 7.14% today or is your portfolio up 30% in a month? Unrealized gains ARE NOT YOURS. They belong to the market! If you want to mitigate volatility, trim into extensions. But if you are going to stress out about every down day as if the money was yours on an open position, you'll never truly be able to scale up comfortably. Treat every new buy or sell based on it's individual price action. And stop looking at your portfolio value every evening as if the money on open positions belongs to you. Checking portfolio value every 10min only leads to emotional and sloppy execution when you look at the whole and not the individual parts. If stock A is still acting great then it shouldn't be sold just because you took a small loss on stock B. Exit stock B and continue to let stock A work for its own merits. The minute you start to make emotional decisions because of money is when you ruin your chances at real growth.

@DarrenPowell2 you will get assigned perhaps

Sold a $TQQQ put: $62 strike May 15 expiration $34.96 premium after fees #Optionselling

@DarrenPowell2 I have a little $SOXS believing the saying all gaps fill.

With the market ripping what are you BUYING?? I’m still adding $SPY biweekly with my 401K contributions. Other than that I’m defending covered calls and selling puts. I need to decide what I have most conviction in and start buying!!

@DarrenPowell2 it's still good money in your pocket!

I sold a $GOOG May 1 $345 put for $6.05 today. Maybe should have just bought the stock 🤣

@Mr_Derivatives I suggest following @hkuppy for insights around this topic.

How is $USO still this elevated?!? Pretend I’m a 5th grader. But honest question.

@Jimmyjude13 my dog owned the top cushions so he could see outside the backyard. Was great I was watching TV.

“We’re keeping our next dog off the sofas”😃🍻

@RealSimpleAriel I'll support your pickup if only to get my trousers dry from being under water on a few crypto positions.

Picked up a piece of $IBIT in after hours. Looking to build into that position as well

@Mr_Derivatives Kinda is kinda a weak word. I'll sit this out :)

$NFLX $ASML Earnings season is upon us. I kinda like Netflix going into this Thursday. 👀👀

@RealSimpleAriel why does this all read as hindsight?

- 400+ names in my universe are up 4% on the day. - 54% of stocks back above the 50sma - 5 and 10 day ratios are healthy and turning which signifies breath expansion. This will be great data to go back and study so we can find those frothy and oversold moments in the market just before turns. Not enough data yet but a few years of practice should do the trick. And one of the big reasons Mr. @PradeepBonde is so great with timing. This has been part of his daily process.

@andrewhorowitz @TommyThornton The stats on my Tesla show 70% FSD. I only drive my car 30% of the time. I just sit there looking around, listening to The Disciplined Investor podcast, talking with whoever is in the car. Just another passenger almost 3/4th of the time.

🚨 We go full bear on Tesla: terrible sales, Musk’s wild moves, and SpaceX IPO skepticism. Overhyped valuation or house of cards? Brutal honesty you won’t hear elsewhere! TDI Podcast: @andrewhorowitz @TommyThornton #Tesla #Musk #InvestingForBeginners thedisciplinedinvestor.com/blog/2026/04/0…

@_TraderLarry be cool man I have 1 lot at $89 lol

$NKE 'Swoosh' aka 'the sound water and feces makes when flushing a toilet'

@RealSimpleAriel Were you nervous from 10:30 - 11:30 because that would have been tough to manage a position.

If you chased the morning gap then you likely got shaken out. If you wait for the shakeout and then buy the reclaim with a stop at LOD then you are enjoying yourself a nice bounce day. Played the bounce via $TQQQ and $DELL at the support gap.

@DarrenPowell2 what price will you get out?

I’m bag holding 200 shares of $AMD at a cost basis of $223.23. I’ve made $3,766.43 in premium selling covered calls.

@_TraderLarry I could never cut beer. Whiskey is very occasional. But hope the carbs keep at bay.

Continuing to cut back on carbs, so next I will cut out all beer drinking and replace it with whiskey.
