Goals for rest of 2026 1) make 3k in passive dividend income. 2) no more option buying. 3) document options sold on X to practice consistency. 4) lift weights - physical hobby to counter-act mental stress. 5) Read/teach for 1 hour a day.

@stockmom Hi Stock Mom, I have found a similar journey as yours. I’m currently preparing for Series 65.

Newsflash. I don't look at my followers list. You followed me for a reason. Now say hi so I can follow you back 👋🏻

@stockmom Finding your purpose in helping others is God’s work. Wish you all the very best. 👌🏼

🙏🏻💚 It took me multiple decades to figure out what I wanted to do with my life. I love helping people with financial literacy. It doesn't feel like work. My dad always said,"IF YOU LOVE WHAT YOU DO, YOU NEVER WORK A DAY IN YOUR LIFE". I hope he's proud of me up in heaven. 🙏🏻💚

@mmonis Appreciate for sharing !

Blademap Review - I have been using Blademap for over a month now. Got the subscription for 900 recurring after the initial launch discount. Right now it is $1500 Positives - Help filter out option flow noise by a considerable amount. Pulse - Gives big bets coming in Vector - reconfirms the trend. Pulse and Vector, when used together, work well. It is an excellent tool if you are looking to capitalize on option flow and need high probability ideas For me, I will be canceling my subscription. It does not fit into my trading process. I cannot come to terms with buying a stock already up. Example, $NOW - yesterday, showed up on pulse, supported by vector. The flow worked like magic For me, I focus more on reversals and oversold bounces, and see Bookmap as a go-to tool. Given the price point, this is something I can certainly do without

@realroseceline @DeepValueBagger

@DeepValueBagger How’s peddling subscribers for a few bucks a month while pretending to be rich?

Ngl, X is becoming way more boring. Feels less interesting and more repetitive than it used to be. 🌹

@growthrapidly I have time left until mid June. Will see what happens.

@swapnadotcom Do you think you'll get assigned?

I’m getting crushed left and right 😭 $HIMS down 9% after announcing a $300M convertible notes offering due 2032. $IREN down 7% even after announcing the acquisition of Awaken. The stock market is not for the weak. Who else is getting tested right now? 👀

@edgaralandough Schwab works well some HSA providers that integrate well with their investing platform. I use Lively HSA

After age 65, you can withdraw for ANY reason with no penalty You'll pay income tax on non-medical withdrawals (same as a traditional IRA) but no 20% penalty And unlike a 401k, HSAs have no required minimum distributions It's basically a Roth IRA with an escape hatch. Max it every single year.

The most tax-advantaged account in America isn't a 401k or a Roth IRA It's an HSA. A Health Savings Account. And most people who have one are using it wrong They swipe the debit card at the pharmacy & call it a day Here's the approach that changes everything:

@lonextrades Buy and hold unless there is a compelling reason to sell

Qullamaggie on Money is Made By Holding Stuff “Ha yeah, that’s usually, you know, the money is in holding. Money is not made by trading — money is made by holding stuff, having patience. That’s my biggest weakness: trading a trading, trading too much, over-trading. I’m a chronic over-trader, I really am. I should probably cut my trades in my trading in half, and I would be much more profitable.”

@valerijatrades1 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

Its been another exceptional week of options trading. Biggest one for me yet! Realised premium profit $2901 I would like to point out that this is not sustainable. My goal with the size of my portfolio is to make $1000 (1%) a week from options. I caught a few big trades this week on the drop, but those don't come very often as I am not a call buyer, I am generally a call seller. Alas, its been an incredible week and I am excited to see what the next week brings us  Girls can trade too and remember nothing I do is financial advice, just my own journey to financial freedom 😊

@AdityaInvests90 That's 2 right decisions

Turns out selling my cat to buy $NBIS at $80 was the right decision….

@bullish_sasha It's funny how 1 loss can offset almost all gains. But it happens. There is no guarantee of where a stock could go. #EOSE this stupid stock cost me a lot this year. Should have sold my positions in it right after last earnings in Q1 but did it a few days before Q2 earnings.

+$2,840 in realized P+L from selling options this week Tickers traded: $HOOD $IREN $MP $EOSE $LUNR $RKLB $PL I'm such a moron. (We probably already knew this, but...) My first mistake was that I sold $8 CCs on $EOSE last month that expired the week of earnings. Such a rookie move. I need to be more diligent tracking earnings. Then I compounded that mistake by buying the contracts for a $1500 loss the day before earnings because I had a spidey sense it would rip (after a crushing report last quarter). I woke up to EOSE at $11.20 and thought I was a fucking genius! Well guys, here it sits at $7.90 and if I hadn't done a god damn thing I'd have $1500 more dollars. 😭😭😭 Lessons to learn here. Let's keep learning them.

@stevenweber19 portfolio secured puts only. I tried selling covered calls but I don't like them.

@swapnadotcom Do you sell options?

Buying $SPY puts now. You should too.

@Alice_MiaX I would keep the Roth IRA instead of paying off home. That's because I live in a cold place where I don't plan on retiring. If it's a forever home then yes ! fully paid off home hits different.

What’s better… a Roth IRA or my fully paid-off $640,000 home? 👀 That house is my Roth IRA. 🏡💁‍♀️

@Nithya_Shrii hmm.. unfortunately the answer is a sibling for me. It's very sad.

Have you ever cut someone off and instantly felt your energy improve?

I'm done working for the day. Feels great. Going out to visit an old friend who is on dialysis and spend most of the day with her. I would have never been able to have this free time working 9-5 corporate.

Working on holding winners longer and cutting losers faster. Still holding HIMS, not proud about it. It was a surprising dump after earnings. I’ll try and trade only strong names going forward. Working with 50k margin kind of limits my options. But still a great week 😊

@ayeteas @mmonis What is level 2 ?

@mmonis Do you look at the Level 2 for it

My day trade is based on the fact "Is the LOD set?" How can you increase the odds of determining LOD? The assumption gives a subtle stopping level.

@ThePupOfWallSt That’s correct. The first discord I joined the guy was cussing so much and showing off his gains all the time - it put me off. I couldn’t focus on his content. It was very uncomfortable

I had a conversation with a member after the close today that stuck with me. She apologized before asking a question in chat because sometimes it feels intimidating speaking up in trading spaces filled with “bro culture.” And honestly, I get it. Trading communities are heavily male dominated, and a lot of younger traders don’t always realize how certain jokes, comments, or nonstop chest beating can make others feel unwelcome or hesitant to participate. The reality is, there are some incredible female traders in this industry. Some of the sharpest traders I know are women. @iluvstocks1 @TraderTammy1 @QueenOfFibs So if there’s a female trader you respect, drop their handle below and give them a shout out. And if you run a Discord or community, remember: People learn best when they feel comfortable enough to ask questions.

@stevenweber19 That’s what I should have done in the first place. Need suggestions on strike price and expiration. It would be my first time buying a put leap.

@swapnadotcom Yes. Leveraged ETFs you can only buy for short term. They are not designed to be held long term. It resets daily like that. You're down -9% even though on paper you should be down 0%. Why don't you buy some put leaps on $SPY instead?
