NVDA
NVIDIA Corp
stock NASDAQ

Calls on NVDA then I guess.

MSFT GOOGL NVDA etc.

I predicted that real estate would get a bounce on Friday and NVDA would come down a little.
My next prediction is that Home Depot and Lowes get a bounce this week. I'm going to be watching for a good entry Monday or Tuesday.

Yeah NVDA is a .33 percent position. AI is hot right now and they have a chip with it. I don’t see still owning it this time next year.
As for TSLA I made close to $20 a share selling calls and some puts just this quarter. I do hope it gets called away soon but the market is interested in it.

Picking stocks is not gambling any more than starting a business, as long as you do your DD. You can read coverage, analyze the balance sheet, project growth, compare to other companies in the sector, study historical valuations. Even intuitive investing like MSFT, NVDA (though not at this price), PG, CB, WM - those are ubiquitous companies with strong track records. Now, if we’re talking buying a speculative stock without doing any research, or trading meme stocks, then yes that’s more of a gambling approach.

VIX only moves when the demand for spx puts options increases which will increase the prices of spx puts and also implied volatility. There are **other factors** but that's the major factor.
When you say, the VIX is suppressed doesn't seems correct. For example, the AI trend is driving NVDA prices to sky high, is this due to what if not for demand?

Thank you for pointing out that there’s no magic bullet….very insightful.
There’s also theta to the position which will continue to decay….so there is a cost to taking action today vs tomorrow.
If the OP followed this advice, NVDA has already fallen back a couple of % since he posted.
It was just my 2 cents that it seemed very reactive to exit the position following such an insane move. In my experience these types of panicky type reactions almost never work out

MSFT GOOG NVDA .. is what I have been holding and buying for years. Relatively Low risk vs high reward in my opinion.

Going to get downvoted but my money is in NVDA, GOOGL, AMZN

Anybody shorting NVDA is playing with fire.

For all the corn idiots thinking it's gonna go back to ATHs whos gonna buy it? It already got memed out, all the boomers fell for it, there's literally nobody left to buy it. Stocks like NVDA, META, AAPL, MSFT already recovered....nobodys going to buy your crap. Going below 10k this year

PLTR is a mixed bag because AI could threaten their moat. NVDA seems highly overvalued IMO but we’ll see

ACLS NVDA NVEI and more

I bet one of you has sucked dick for a stock tip before
"So you promise you'll tell me what NVDA is gonna do next week?"
"Yeah sure thing bud" *unzips*

wow, I just checked ARKK holdings... despite Cathie's focus on emerging markets like crypto and ai she isn't holding NVDA. Silliness.

Hahaha - we definitely have different vetting criteria. Buying an automaker at anywhere near a P/S ratio of 5 would not be something I would ever do.
Nest you’re gonna tell me you have a position in NVDA..?

NVDA puts

Look at NVDA this year lol

Don’t beat yourself up. You invested during what turned out to be a peak and not a trough. The only way you can know this is looking back, right? Hindsight is 20/20, especially with the stock market. Forgive yourself. I think it’s good that you are investing so young!
I would keep anything paying a dividend, and TSLA, AMZN, GOOGL. Actually I would keep them all. Some or most will probably grow in 10-50 years. Just leave it alone. They might go down further if we hit a recession. Don’t look at the loss, just keep in mind that you own “x shares of ABC stock”, which may eventually be worth more several years/decades from now.
A lot of stocks go down for a while but then rebound higher. You just haven’t seen the rebound.
I just invested a bunch beginning in January. I stopped last week at 90 shares of AAPL (35 were bought when it was only $130/ share but I bought more at $160 because I dont want to bet that they will go back down to $130). I’m done for now though given the talk of a looming recession. I only have 5 shares of TSLA, because I bought at $135 as an experiment and now don’t want to pay the higher price, but I wish I had bought more. I’d like maybe 50 shares total. I did not know it was a trough though. We only see the peaks and troughs looking back, right?
My plan is to keep cash in my brokerage savings account which pays 3.5% interest, then buy more AAPL, GOOGL, MSFT, AMD, NVDA, TSM, AMZN, TSLA and others if they go “on sale” during a recession. I’m waiting for the sale, but holding what I have, even if/when they go red.
I’m holding everything for a long time though.
My thinking is that it’s better to buy the stocks themselves, as opposed to funds. You can see more gains that way. Yes, it’s riskier, but the gains are higher too.

I have a large amount of puts on NVDA but if we don't get any material over the weekend to cause a drop I'm going to sell and look for reentry
