How is Ernst saving his money?
This Ernst is currently just throwing everything he can put to the side in index funds.

DAX, S&P and MSCI World to be precise.

If i would actually have a lot of money to invest i could've made a lot of money that way in the last 3 month. Too bad.

The trading / brokerage app which coined the term "diamond hands" because at times the ability to sell or buy stock mysteriously vanishes...
But luckily, despite the initial GME crowd getting fucked over doubly due to this, those 3 years are so far in the past, everyone is praising and using RH again while the ape cultists are just creeps lurking the shadows of the trading floor.
Good financials, good growth, may be a keeper as if.

Also hands off pennystocks, not worth it.
Dabbled a little with them years ago, but there's 95% pump'n dumps and hardly any signs to find the legit 5% that could make you a hellavulot of money.
And sitting them out is about as good of an idea as with options, there's always another 99% it can drop.
See the ATOS idiots as of late, that got fucked over by France. France of all instances, imagine!

Good Friday, RKLB did a surprising 7%, HOOD just a little and GOOG is back into grey mouse mode after fucking around in a slutty outfit, but that bitch is free for me, so whatever.

I was in MDB post-earnings but got out on the first dip before the market completely died. They beat expectations and raised guidance but were still punished. My biggest mistake was not shorting this after selling. The direction was clear- straight down- but I hesitated because their earnings were solid. Have to remember stocks move on sentiment, not financials. The loss wiped out my RKLB gains. CADL popped on Wednesday. A medical study produced positive results. It wasn't on my radar, but a pump is a pump. That put my week solidly back in the green.

With the recent UFO hysteria, I'll be watching drone stocks this week.

My biggest single loss was on a penny stock. While there is money to be made, the risk of a rug pull is on par with crypto. Pumpers hoping retail buyers FOMO and buy their bags. Not worth it with so many better opportunities.

Everything going nicely so far.
GOOG touched 200, probably going further soon.
HOOD also running.
RKLB got me in the first half, but then engaged its engines anyway.
Will be a great Xmas holiday for sure!

Yet there's more and more signs, that a correction is looming somewhere in the shadows, can't always go up like that.
Maybe selling my speculative positions before Xmas, forfeit the AMD play for now and see what happens to have put cash on hand.
PLTR is forming a nice double top and has plenty of meat after the 23.12.24 Nasdaq inclusion to fall of that hill, maybe that's the play to be on the right side.
MSTR *spits* is now in Nasdaq as well.

Hope you were holding some Redcat Aviation, brother :3
Sadly all those fun drone & electric aviation stonks are Nasdaq exclusive for my brokerage, which comes with a hefty 20$ trading fee in every direction.

Also: wouldn't be surprised if those drone sightings are some kind of field visibility study of the Chair Force, they recently received their first fliers (Archer Midnight and an autonomous Chessna) for that AFWERX Prime program.

I was an idiot and decided to hold through their earnings call. Ouch. Missed expectations and it wasn't close. Took an L on that one.
I'm considering a longer play on ACHR. $8 April Calls break even at ~9.50. I think their ties to the Trump administration will pay off, but haven't pulled the trigger because of that inverstor meeting where they plan to dilute their outstanding shares. Decisions...

Then lost a 100 bucks on quick PLTR puts, would have been up a little but then the market recovered.

Nearly jumped into ACHR this morning, but held off because I didn't like the way it crashed into Wednesday's close. I like to see some support before I reach for a falling knife. Those April Calls just got cheaper.

I've made my trades.
All of my playpile deployed in PLTR puts, no quite the top from Friday before close, but around the 2% range.
Let's see if they keep their 360 PE (150 forward PE) without big ETFs buying, just look at that spike in volume last week.

And if it fails, I sacrifice a good chunk of my play money by selling at a loss after 1.1.25 and get a fat tax deduction :3

PLTR -4% today... finally going back towards breakeven price for my damn puts.
Still a month for expiry tho, so at least 2 weeks until theta decay becomes really painful.
Strike price is at 62$, but them being "option warrants" and not real options, there isn't really much to gain by holding to expiry other then decay, it's just the full... 50x leverage applies when it gets under it.

That fucking urge to bet against trends, a pitfall one falls just to easily into when trying to apply to much immediate logic to the market.

I have compiled a comprehensive spreadsheet of every stock trade made in 2024. Results: 93 trades for a loss of $25.74. Many good buys offset by a handful of poor ones. Strange that is ends so close to even.
My big winner was my most consistent investment: T-Bills and Money Market dividends. Not much when set beside S&P gains, but 5% is 5%.
On to next year.
When that 5% will be 4%. Thanks, Powell.

Purchased my first option. Wanted to test my broker's buy/sell interface. The S&P was up, and so I picked a far out of the money SPY PUT to minimize my investment and risk. Then SPY started to decline. Sold that PUT as soon as it went green. SPY continued to crash, and the PUT got a lot greener- for someone else. Whatever.

Still 25% down as of now in premarket, but PLTR seems to continue dropping, even when the N100 is green, which is promising.
The good part is, it is recovering equally as fast as it dropped before and ever so quicker the nearer it gets to the 62$ strike price.

Post collapse, it will all be worth 0.All financial indeces will be 0.
Buy land (timber and farmland) or gold or guns and ammunition or tools. Acquire valuable skills.

Of course, somebody who does not know such obvious facts will not be able to survive in post-collapse society, either way.
So all the 'men' posting in here will only need 1 gun with 1 bullet. But even if they had it, they'd be too gay to use it.

Sold my PLTR puts today!
One month of holding a highly leveraged position worth 2,5k and I made a grand total of... 2,8k Euros.
Mistakes were made, but things were learned as well.

First thing first, for some reason I believed my puts would run until end of month, but just now I saw that they would actually run due at the end of this week, despite me adding the correct note to that position in my brokerage.
Idiocy number one. Know your tool, fool!

Then the whole ETF inclusion play on a highly overvalued stonk, good in theory, but executed way to early.
I should have waited the whole inclusion week out before buying in, the week afterwards would have been the perfect moment to buy some pootz.
Not quite an idiocy, but inexperience. Valuable lesson though!

Then, once more, don't let yourself get lured by too much of a leverage.
Take the expiration date you aim for and slap a month for safety onto it.
Would have been in the money last week already while still having time for further drops, even if that thing would expire end of month as I wrongfully believed.
That's an idiocy for sure, driven by greed for high multipliers... 25-30x leverage is enough, doesn't need to be 50-60x.

Anyway, glad that I still made my money back and can continue some gambling until I finally hit my 2025 tax credit loss.
But damn, those measly 300 bucks were exchanged for heart blood and soul sweat.
If I would have bought the same puts right after inclusion week, I surely could have made 10 grand without breaking much sweat, seeing how far they were down at times.

The future of warehouse automation. Unfortunately this company, Slip Robotics, is privately held. I ran down a list of names in the field and most are included in ROBO. That's a small ETF with low volume and barely 1 billion in assets. It has also traded flat for the past year. Either the tech is not profitable, or the market has yet to see its potential. Hmmm...

In many scenarios, an AMR can not do much more than an AGV.

Nothing wrong with stepping back, especially when eating a loss hurts more than missing a run. Funny thing: for a brief period last year I was losing on every trade and decided to change my perspective. I wouldn't trade at all and viewed the money I probably would have lost as a gain- since I still had it.

Despite my bearish nature, even I know ETF and chill is a guaranteed winner in the long run. I'd do it, but I like to go to sleep at night knowing exactly how much money I'll wake up to. It's a character flaw.
