Hi, how your options fared? Puts options? What are the tickers hehe

Next week may be a good time to sell put options, especially if you are not in the market as yet. If stocks get assigned, can be a good starting point to accumulate stocks. If aldy invested in the US mkts, it's a bloodbath but if you have sufficient capital, you can start BTFD, as per Ramjade's advice to make money longterm in the US mkt.

recently i trade weekly HOOD, NVDA and SOFI options

to be honest, i dont know i will be assigned or not.

final deadline to exercise is typically 5:30 p.m. ET on the expiration date.
Meaning from 4pm to 5.30pm EST is beyond options seller control. If some options buyer want to exercise at this time, i might get assigned

I got short NVDA 180 Oct10 position, and if you check NVDA after hours chart, NVDA went below 180 from 5.16pm ET

Pls let us know. I thought 4.30pm is the cut off time, so if it doesn't hit 180 by then, you are safe.

actually, when something like yday happened, all bets are off.

the put holder may choose to exercise the option because it wanted to get rid of its nvda position...

Trading vs Exercise cutoff time is different.

But hopefully he didn't get exercised of course...

Not really. For put if not in the money system will not assign it. Buyer can manually choose to exercise it. Also after hours it's entirely up the buyer to manually exercise it.

Yeah. What you said is same same as what I described. John is the put seller.

He is waiting for the system to settle and find out if he kena assigned.

Judging at the official closing price of nvda, hopefully no buyer choose to exercise.

it expires without being exercised

What you mean don't know how to save all?

I do not do index investing but i would say all returns has their risk and the probability of said risk.

If we plot the voo and qqq historical sharpe ratio against buffett indicator. The difference between voo and qqq risk adjusted return would make sense to prefer qqq when market is low or moderately priced as the probability of drawdown is not high so the risk is worth taking for the returns.

But given current context and without the power of hindsight, i would say voo would be the better choice currently, as a over valued market would amplify each percentile of risk you take vs its return.

I guess there is a fine line between informed risk taking and survivorship biases.

The new global monetary policy is really creating a sense of complacency in markets that people are dismissing the wisdom of old.

I myself is also having a hard time juggling between growth investing and fundamental investing.

If you have been investing long enough, even COVID crash is nothing but feels wow this is it. Once a lifetime opportunity as you watched people panic.

It's the same. If a company is doing well, the price will follow.

There has been no real crashes ever since QE was introduced, which is close to 20 years now.

Majority of people would have never imagine how long it took if you invest in nifty fifty or dotcom to recover from an actual crash via organic market cycle for tech focused growth stock. Hence i say the complacency.

Went in around 4 am to scoop something ....not enought sleep ler....

Yes. That's right. Sadly nowadays crash is few days and then recover. If it stays down longer the better. More chances to scoop.

I love Trump.

Short seller says thank you very much.

Trump is the person to bring down prices. Go trump.

Hopefully he will be too busy with the Middleast tomorrow and not TACO too soon.

Hopefully he tank the stock market some more. I got lots of things to buy
