@DarkMiner Zero day bull put spreads or bear call spreads on spy. Finding the range then making the short side around .15 delta. Working very well. Created a bot with Claude dispatch in code.
Honest question.
Do you think my money would perform better dumping my entire High Yield Dividend portfolio and moving it to Tasty trades?
Likely trade some strangles, multi month naked puts and buy monthly tbills with cash.
US housing market demand is collapsing:
US new home sales fell -17.6% MoM in January, to 587,000 units, the lowest since 2022.
This marks the largest monthly drop since July 2013, far worse than the -2.7% expected.
YoY, sales fell -11.3%, the worst annual decline in 3 years.
The Northeast was hit hardest with sales plunging -44.7% MoM, followed by the Midwest at -33.9%.
Furthermore, the median new home price fell -6.8% YoY to $400,000, the lowest since 2024, bringing the 3-month average down to ~$410,000, the lowest since 2022.
Meanwhile, mortgage rates have jumped +33 basis points over the last 2 weeks, to 6.43%, the highest since September, marking the largest 2-week increase in nearly a year.
Higher interest rates are back.
I know I may have the wrong following for this but does anyone here buy Pokemon cards?
People are always telling me I can make so much money buying on these drops and reselling.
Or getting high value cards.
I’m here to make money with the community. Am I sleeping on this?
"Had I just held on a little longer, I would have made $25k more!"
"Wish I sold sooner, now I'm staring at a -$15k loss instead of a -$1k loss... sigh."
"Ugh should went heavier or all in, my prediction was correct, but I could have made a fortune if I bought more."
I swear to God, the said above played out at least 3 times over for me today alone.
Any of these thoughts ever run through your head as they do mine?
Confess.
I can't be the only one...
A lot of my homies have been deep into Pokémon lately. Tons of rare cards and sealed boxes well over 6 figures. I started looking into it and realized some of these have been outperforming stocks and crypto the past few years lol.
I was gifted that PSA 9 Dark Charizard I posted a few weeks ago, plus an Articuno, and just picked up an “Ascended Heroes Pokémon Center Elite Trainer” box for $290. It has a small tear but I’m cool with it. Planning to hold it long term and eventually pass it down to my boys.
Definitely late to the party, but I’m excited to start building the collection. 😮💨
@JasonL_Capital Sell csp leaps on Quality stocks , put Collateral in a money market fund gaining interest at 3.5%. $1,000,000 doing $38,500 extra a year while you collect juicy premiums. Rinse and repeat
Do not sell cash-secured puts without knowing these 10 things:
1. Stock selection is 90% of the trade. If you wouldn't hold the stock for years, don't sell puts on it.
2. Target the 0.20 delta range. That's roughly an 80% probability of keeping your premium.
3. 30 days to expiration is the sweet spot. Theta decay accelerates hardest in this window.
4. Close at 50% profit. Don't hold to expiration. The annualized math on closing early destroys holding for the full premium.
5. Your strike should be at a price you'd love to get assigned at. Not tolerate. Love. If there's hesitation, move the strike lower or skip the trade.
6. Pick strikes at or below support levels. Stack technical conviction on top of the statistical edge from delta.
7. Check the IV environment first. High IV means fatter premiums and more cushion. Low IV means you're not getting paid enough for the risk.
8. If you're assigned, that's not a loss. That's the next phase. You now own a stock you wanted at a price you chose. Start selling covered calls.
9. Check liquidity on the specific contract. Wide bid-ask spreads are a hidden tax on every trade. If the spread is wide, move on.
10. Have an exit plan before you enter. Know when you'll roll, when you'll take assignment, and when you'll cut the loss.
This is the foundation of my entire system. I sell puts on stocks I want to own, at prices I've already decided I'm comfortable with, and I get paid to wait.

Yesterday, white supremacist Jake Lang organized a protest outside Gracie Mansion rooted in bigotry and racism. Such hate has no place in New York City. It is an affront to our city’s values and the unity that defines who we are.
What followed was even more disturbing. Violence at a protest is never acceptable. The attempt to use an explosive device and hurt others is not only criminal, it is reprehensible and the antithesis of who we are.
I want to thank the brave men and women of the NYPD who acted quickly to keep New Yorkers safe. Our officers ran toward danger without hesitation, demonstrating once again the courage and dedication it takes to protect this city every single day.
My administration is closely monitoring the situation and I remain in close contact with our Police Commissioner.
I was promised that cards would go down in price in the first 6 months of release
1-month performance of the top 3 cards from Phantasmal Flames and Ascended Heroes:
@MichaelRapaport And tonight they're going to hold a vigil for the dead Ayatollah in Washington Square Park just down the road from where thousands like my mother were killed on 9/11!
Zoron the Moron and his wife ain’t just “pro-Palestine.” They’re pro-massacre.
On October 7th,while the most vulnerable of the vulnerable were being raped, kidnapped, and slaughtered, his wife Rawwa was online mass-liking posts celebrating the massacre in real time.
New York City, we’ve got a problem and it’s not just the mayor. The whole household is sick.

This is actually insane
American booked a Disney World vacation for his family
“I want to explain to you how insane these prices are”
“A few weeks ago, I just flew my family, my entire family across the world for a ski vacation to Courchevel, France — the largest ski area in the world. Flew them across the world, got them new gear for snowboarding, private lessons. Stayed in five-star hotels, ate at amazing restaurants, 2 of them Michelin Star restaurants, all of that in France and Switzerland
Half the price of taking my family to Disney World and Universal Studios for five days”
“Really think about that for a second. You can take your family to Europe, fly business class, eat in Michelin star restaurants, five-star hotels for half the price than Disney World.”
I’m not even a Pokemon collector.
Just wanted to see if Claude Code could track odds on Courtyard and alert me when EV made sense.
