LOT
Lotus Technology Inc.
stock NASDAQ ADR

Not commenting on the particular stock but I do think LEAPs calls aren't antithetical to value investing and could have a place in a high risk value portfolio. I know the sub is going to fucking roast you for options trading but it has 24 month for the market to weigh the company.
It is still a very high risk high reward version of value investing and putting any timer on your bet is questionable (imagine it stays flat then spikes Feb 2028) but yes wprst case scenario is -100% and best case scenario is a 30x or something which in general works out.
Keep in mind the "everything is priced in" effect. The costs of the calls price in a LOT, fundamentally you would want to find a stock with low IV that you expect to move up a lot. I looked at the call prices for jan 2028. The cheapest I see is $1.5, the share price is $3.4 so the call is only gives 2.25x leverage because the stock is expected to move a lot they are expensive.

So… your assumptions are wrong. I know how you feel, but making up numbers and saying basically “AI writes bad code” doesn’t make it true.
It does do a very good job in the places you put it, and when done right, with thoughtfulness about where you use it and where you don’t, it can (unfortunately for us humans) do a LOT of very good work.
So yes, the 1,000 executives who say “we are downsizing because AI does a lot of work” aren’t all in some massive conspiracy to lie to us all.
AI has its flaws, but that does not mean it doesn’t have a ton of utility too.

US store count is already down to 1,873 or to 1,776 if counting unconfirmed closures (I'm sure apes gonna derive A LOT of _'brilliant DD'_ from this number).
2,325 US stores [reported in 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/1326380/000162828025014731/gme-20250201.htm) minus 229 closed since then during 2025, minus 223 confirmed and 97 not yet confirmed this January.

It's funny how he says old timers and then mentions NVDA "less than a trillion". That covers A LOT of years on this sub.

FZDXX has a $100,000 buy in. Currently it is 3.57% vs 3.42% of SPAXX. The differential is not worth the difference unless you have A LOT of cash.

Hey brother (sister?), I feel your frustration as I have been there before. I actually found a strategy that works and built my indicator based on it, then spent months perfecting every nook and cranny (still am). There's A LOT going on under the hood.
You can check out the post I made about it here:

If you want to try it out, I do offer a 7-day free trial on subs. Let me know!

People are weird; it’s Reddit so I’m sure you know to expect that somewhat. A simple google search on how to enable options trading on Robinhood will help you out but I’ll give you a small but important detail about them. The risk/reward on options is a LOT more intense than shares. Most people that blow their accounts regardless of the size of it are due to options trading/casino/get rich overnight mentality. Take it seriously if you want it to be consistently profitable

Options trading has had an immense impact on how MMs navigate in the past few years. A LOT more retail traders in the last decade = a lot more fish can be fried if it lacks a swan event here. Something has to actually happen. Open interest alone wont due it unless 'institutions, not retail' run the price. Which also could happen here. We have all seen more dominoes fall and more institutions racking up shares. Bottom could be in. BUT WHO KNOWS! 😄 I STILL LIKE THE STOCK

Put aside your hatred for this piece of trash for a moment to remember: a LOT of Americans like/live/support this guy, which is SO much worse than just him being trash.

The negativity in these comments reminds me A LOT of when y'all said Reddit would IPO and you'd buy puts.
Discord is the backbone of every gamer group on the planet at this point, and for games too toxic for voice chat (League) it's the only decent option for VC.
There's no other discord competition - whoever is next isn't even close. There's bajillions of RP communities that used to be in Forums in the old Internet days that all move to and have massive bots, channels and organization to keep the daily RP going.
A lot of nerds, would pay a lot of money to not have to lose their servers and hangout space, and there's not a SINGLE place to go instead.

I'm only in the US (Southern Utah) for January, and need to sell most of my stack while I'm here. Probably around $30k. $50k if you include gold. Shitty picture for reference: https://imgur.com/yFpk0kO
Most of it is Peace, Morgans, and Walkers. But do have a few slabbed ASE's, pandas, constitutional, 50oz generic, etc.
I know I'll get better prices selling online, but selling it all and shipping seems like A LOT of work, especially using middlemen, since I haven't sold before.
Can you please convince me that I'd be stupid to sell to LCS, or stupid to sell on PMsForSale? Is there another option? In person?

Better be A LOT higher than all those

37% is a LOT considering all that he's doing.

Sell and pay taxes - and have 80% of your stack’s value? To invest in what?
If you are worried about the Fed going after 1% of the nation’s savings (gold) then we have a lot bigger issues. They could more easily take everyone’s 401k savings with the stroke of the pen - just as illegal and a LOT more money to grab

A LOT since people are drugged up half dead on the sidewalk

It works if you reinvest most of the interest. I retired 5 years ago and my portfolio is bigger now than it was then. And I spent A LOT of money last year that I didn’t really have to.

I think a lot of people expecting profitability aren’t looking at the insurer side of business, which is going to be a slow grind with great membership growth for a while to come, I’m guessing. If counterpart assistant is a year out or longer, the stock price can certainly sit here at 2-3 due to the impact this will have on short-term expectations based on high MCRs.
I expect earnings will show strong membership growth, high costs associated with those new patients, and no word on counterpart, which will push the price back to 2.20 or something, probably. Unless they announce a major partnership, at which point, everything changes. But to expect profitability right now? No, I don’t think so.
I’m a big fan of clover health, perhaps too much of a fan boy 🎉😅, but I’m not sure it is realistic, just yet, to expect a major takeoff. That being said, I consider this all good news. For those who hold for a long time, you are investing in a company that will MORE than double its membership in a few years. A couple years after this magnificent growth, there will be a LOT of value generated by those members. In 5 years, worst case scenario, I feel we will see clover health around 12-15 a share. Thats only internally considering the contributions of CA to clovers own insurance business. I feel this is a safe bet, with the potential for so much more.
