JPM
JPMorgan Chase & Co.
stock NYSE

I made $236.92 buying Klarna on dips and selling it back on pops
Lost much more having sold a JPM put going into earnings
That’s my adventure w financials this week

1% JPM?
So for every 10,000 invested you have a third of a share of JPM?

The JPM funds are really solid. I sold both the JEPI and JEPQ based on total return over the last few years but I totally agree with track record and AUM.

I bought 100 shares of JPM on the dip this week and sold yesterday, made a gain but too boring. Bought a few ATM July calls that should print

Silver should have already been $50+ on the right side of the handle but silver was under even more manipulation than usual in that period, so current increases above it’s flatlined area of $20 are really only something like +$40 or less instead of +$70
So current green spikes look way more obscene than they actually should. You have people on this board say things like “gold goes up first then silver.” But that was not actually what happened. Silver was clearly under more suppression while gold was instead allowed to run.
Now you only have to figure out an explanation as to why. So JPM can accumulate? The theory of EU banks or just all banks in general being more underwater in silver shorts? Etc. The past general explanation people use which is probably wrong is that silver is a smaller market so you can crash silver to then crash gold in this manner.

I think JPM moved their trading desk to Singapore specifically to stop what happened on Christmas from happening again

Yeah, there are a lot of options but you have to look past reddit.
UPS and TGT were operating at nearly 10 P/E with 4% dividends. Both companies gutted their corporate bloat. I talk to my UPS driver frequently as i work in high volume ecommerce and he said they are chopping tons of redundant suits that needed to go.
UPS is a staple shipping company with freight networks that can't be replaced. Even after the run up they are probably still under valued.
Target's downside risk was just extremely minimal at 85-90. Maybe high 70s at worst. They have started stabilizing their customer base. Still popular with young women, moms, and students.
LULU - I believe in the brand. The financials are great (10 p/e again). The quality is great. Future earnings and outlook looks fantastic. There is huge upside here if tariffs are resolved otherwise we've already seen the impacts in earnings. The only downside surprise would be worsening consumer demand however with amex deals and high Christmas spend, i'm optimistic.
NVO - 12 p/e for a 100 year old company that is releasing the first world class obesity pill in a duopoly with a 3-4 month head start. 3% div on top of that. The competitor is priced at 50 p/e. I mean NVO messed up the original launch but took huge steps to resolve those issues.
Bought Catalent manufacturing, moved to Veeva for global software sales, doing stuff in AI, backed out of a bad deal, EBIT - 71x
In November:
TGT @ 89 - 30k
UPS @ 87 - 30k
LULU @ 167 -30k
NVO @ 47 -120k
DECK @ 80 - 30K (Sold) 106 - p/e hit 15 and didn't have a div
I have some extra assets from my DECK sales and have been waiting for other opportunities. Recently bought a small portion of JPM on the 10-15% sell off. Not a huge value play but a stable position in the long term.

Those weren’t just allegations against JPM, two of their people did jail time over that.

This is exactly why I sold the AXP, JPM, MA and V puts.

Got stopped out of my JPM calls the other day just for it to rip today

Can JPM come back to 330? Are banks not going to reduce the interest rate like trump wanted?

Exactly, especially given the government regulations on banking. JPM and the other big banks want efficiency and not bloat especially with the regulatory stuff that only costs money vs making it. Taking all that data and making it easily accessible and digestible will make their employees more efficient. Yeah, some low level people may be replaced but the higher level workers will get more done and the bottom line grows. If JP cuts even 3k roles, under 1% of their workforce, it saves a quarter billion per year in payroll and benefits. That’s not to mention the other implementations they can use PLTR for to generate better profits without layoffs. If this partnership nets $1b in profits, I can see a 8figure contract for PLTR. From one company.

Good news! During the JPM 2026 Q&A session, the CEO hinted that the company is not for sale, that its headquarters will remain in France, and that they will develop their business strategy with the US and other countries. They already have a partnership with a major Chinese pharmaceutical company.

Kinda tired of holding JPM C315 bags and missing out the pumps

I bought in JPM $315 calls by 2/20 when it was $311. Starting to make me nervous with this drawdown continuing but after hearing this maybe I'll hold

I think AMZN is set for a stronger run on the horizon
I like JPM as a company but think the valuation is a bit high atm
I'd throw in UNH, RMV.L and RYCEY as some other high convction plays

I am long gold etfs both gold and gold miners but I think what I don't agree with with prec metals is that those long it often get too caught up/all in.
I can definitely see what I think is a reasonable path towards $5K gold this year and $6K in the next 2-3 but if things change I'll change with it.
I remember reading people talking about how "the banks are trapped" with silver where it was at the highs 15ish years ago. It took about 14 years for silver to get back to 2011 highs. There were all sorts of allegations towards JPM regarding Silver during that time frame, but that didn't keep silver from cratering post 2011 peak and JPM is up around 630% since early 2011.
So I don't disagree with the view of continuing to be long prec metals but I just think stay flexible/reasonable allocation and don't get too caught up in "the banks are trapped and have to deliver! The market will break!" kind of stuff. This isn't the first time that those kinds of views have been heavily discussed and it didn't happen 15 years ago.

the Bank's stablecoin outside the bank would not work as it is a private/protected stablecoin. Stablecoins are backed by onchain High quality treasury bills, currency or even other qualified securities. once that stablecoin would leave the bank.... e.g. you have 100 JPM stablecoins which is worth 100 USD dollars. that stablecoin will always remain 100 USD (that's also the definition of a STABLE coin, regardless with what you do with it. so how would you get yield on the stablecoin itself? this is what I don't get.

JPM said they had the physical nickel too a few yrs ago. It was LITERALLY BAGS OF ROCKS. The metal isnt there and we know it.

What do you guys think? I love MAIN as you can see lol.
I have worked since I was 16 to achieve this and the income feels good so far.
I have a 20k margin loan at 5% APR and then the rest is my money. Total income is 580$ a month after paying for margin interest every month.
Any suggestions, comments, or additions to my strategy? I think it looks pretty good. I got lucky and bought when Cheeto was talking about liberation day or something like that so I got a pretty good entry. I initially wanted to do this in an LLC/Trust but the market dumped and I said fuck it I need to act now and decided to just roll with a personal account it should be fine I guess.
And so far it seems that way but the tax drag is going to assimilate me that’s why I wanted to do LLC method so I could add in my PC build as an expense etcétera. So yea I think it looks pretty good. “Oh but you have no growth aren’t you worried?” Yes but no I like income. Also I been adding to VAIL and CIVI recently they seem to be on a good discount. RIO was a good move too. JPM and CAT are also nice. And then MAIN ofc is going generational and helping me compound as I pay down the debt. So please let me know your thoughts. Also looking to add DYNACOR and BAP let me know what you guys think of those 2.
P.S I am aware MAIN is a BDC so I just want to clear the air now by saying I’m not Jewish I don’t support usery of any sort but capitalism is capitalism and you need to play the game. But I don’t support private equity or usery I think it’s gross but game is game. If you can’t beat them join them.
