Panic exited everything today while it was still up a little, nice profitsss on Google tho.
Then lost a 100 bucks on quick PLTR puts, would have been up a little but then the market recovered.
Everything's sketchy as fuck right now.

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

The Jews got inside your brains. The only ones who get rich are the Jews who sell this bullshit to gullible little goys like you.
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.

"Muh guns muh land" is a huge cope.

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.
No more plays for now, only holiday.

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...

So far only SERF on my watchlist, as I haven't looked into all that too much, some look like pretty small caps for the risk of pump and dumps tho.
Maybe I slowly nudge into PLTR puts again, once the good CPI data are fully digested and there's more fat on it again.
I see them at 40 at some time in the future.

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.
