no one anticipated brokers stopping buying...that's dead ass the reason it didn't work

i'm not sure what people are looking at tbh, during all this Robinhood is still gaining investors in droves, they didn't take a hit at all. it's like politics, people aren't even taking time to look into who their broker is. lol

You know they bullshyting halted twice in like 15 mins but when we were dipping hard they halted only once. Also yesterday I saw the outflow compare to inflow chart on fidelity. 70% was in flow yesterday but we still crash. Total manipulation right now.


That’s why I’m holding. I can afford for every one of my shares to go down to $5 a pop. But I really think we haven’t seen the end of it

cciv i'm not adding more here, i'd need to see verification. the longer this goes without news it will start dipping. typical spac shyt. there needs to be news.
I'll exit this week. Seems like it's topping at the moment and as you said if Lucid is not confirmed, it will most likely go back down.

Did you use anything to help you learn options trading, or did you just kinda hop in?

wanna start trading myself and just want to get a good start.
i trade with schwab, and when i first got started trading options i would literally call them before placing an order to make sure i wasn't fukking anything up. they linked me to a couple articles on their website which taught me the basics of different strategies and how to execute them on their platform. but most of what i learned is from experience. for example, last may i bought a lot of USO calls, which is an oil ETF, because i thought covid would be over shortly and oil prices would go up again. i didn't do any research on the ETF itself, which was dumb as fukk because USO actually invests in futures contracts that already priced in a big increase in oil price. the same thing happened when i bought VXX calls, i didn't understand what i was betting on. both of these plays were hyped up on reddit last year by people who didn't understand the fundamentals. there's obviously articles you can read about this shyt before you make the trade, but they're hard to really comprehend if you have little prior knowledge, and i only became motivated to learn about it when i was trying to understand why i was taking Ls :dead:
anyway, i'd recommend just starting with some small plays (couple hundred bucks) to get a hang of things, that way you won't do major damage to your account if shyt goes south

Have four shares in AMC :mjcry:





Also work for AMC so they'll give me that back :lolbron:


Side note: AMC held me down at various points in the pandemic, paid me when they didnt have to and have been far more supportive than other Cinemas over here :ehh:
You'll be fine ... once they repurpose all the theaters into skate and lazer tag spots :troll:

:huh:
RH not taking a hit doesn't have anything to do with the fact that them killing buying killed the short. RH's brand/# of customers is a whole other story

ya granted I shouldn’t use TLR as a sample size but it looks like for every person leaving RH there’s someone else asking how to join up
