Anyone else getting INTC?
Btw anyone bullish on Huntington Ingalls Industries (HII)? Largest producer of naval vessels, P/E 12 and Hegseth brurted out at the hearing that Trump is looking to upgrade and expand US naval force. Pretty logic if he's eying the polar region and possible military presence at the other side of the pasific.

I sold 425 shares of MSTR at $297 bought at an average of $148 and have 400 left. Im thinking between going all in (I HAVE 400K SIDELINED) or kms

what happens if Intel gets bought?
I've found out how to move money from Kraken to eToro money in order to buy stocks without having to get any crypto profits on my real bank accountI can profit from this

rgti, qubt, ionq, qbts, djt bears where you at?
>>59615639I don't think Trump/gobment wants Intel to become weakerThey will look at how they can stick their foot in it thoFollowing the money is the smart move here I think, and the money's is going in, on the hopes of the new termSitting back, I think it's a good investment over a few years though, maybe even very good
>>59615614it’s not. we brought back the cool retro /rhg/ (but OP apparently forgot to ctrl+F):>>59615206>>59615206>>59615206most people still post on the real /smg/ thread over at >>>/bant/smg
>>59615623MSTR at those prices is making me nervousI'm not touching my shares but also I've been debating open a contract on them daily
>>59615585>>59615656Fuck off faggot
>>59615667>this faggot>againIts all so tiresome
>>59615516Yes. Selling it when it reaches 22 or at the end of the day whichever happens first.
any other beatdown overlooked stuff with promising futures? KODK anon got me 10% and I'm going to hold it while they start making pharma chems.
>>59615632Sub 19 was too risky, still kinda is, INTC could break like a stick
I'm changing my strategy for Rigattoni Going to continuously adjust my position size to try to take advantage of the volatility.Every time the price fluctuates down I'm going to reduce my position and then set a limit order at the upper side of the channel for a roughly equal or slightly smaller amount of shares.
>>59615730That was yesterday, this is today
>>59615736too scary for me, tried that with NATGAS and MSTR, didn't end up getting money, but I figure it's just a skill and stress issue
>>59615750>SSOTry SPYU, nerd
>>59615654Agree. The future is strong. Even if they do sell, it's all upside to buy.
>>59615639Qualcomm is cool they are American and strong I don’t see what would be wrong with it.
>>59615785Well I wish them the best just wondering whats gonna happen to my $30 bags if that happens, they would pay a premium right?
BIDU looking tasty here but tariffs are spooky obviously. I’m considering getting a straddle on SPY with sells halfway in to reduce my losses if nothing happens my thinking is Tariff Tuesday crushes the market and my put side triples leading to a nice gain.
>>59615802You're stuck at 2x a year with no cook off potential, which is good, but I'm aiming for multiple doublings3x 100% is a good goalIt's a good plan to let things simmer, but I am not yet satisfied enough with my base capital to favour your method over diversification Can't get to pic rel with only indexes, unless you day trade them
>>59615742MSTR is a tough one to value.Ignoring the other stuff they do, the value of the company should be the same as the net asset value.But at the same time, they dilute shares and take on debt to buy more assets in a ponzi-esque sheme, so I feel like the expected value should be lower than just buying BTC, right?If you were offered a portion of MSTR that was worth 1 BTC in exchange for 0.9 BTC, in theory you would be stupid to not take the trade, right? But in reality you can't just go to the company and take your share of the BTC they hold, unless you were able to get 51% of the company and decide to liquidate all the assets.I'm not sure what the Schelling equilibrium is.But at the same time, the theory the bulls have is that that most institutions can't buy bitcoin but can buy corporate bonds, which is a decent theory if it wasn't for the whole ponzi thing.The only way this selling of bonds works is if the price keeps increasing. If the price of bitcoin drops then they wold have to default, unless they were able to sell enough shares to cover the debt. I know nothing about natural gas.As for my trade, it was a terrible entry, I should've known better than to FOMO after a 50% drop instead of DCAing. One of the reasons I did it (besides greed) is that I have a super shit broker (Etoro) that disables shorting of certain stocks at will.Also I wish I profited more from the initial drop. I FOMOd out of jealously because in the original drop I went in very conservatively, didn't pay much attention to quantum and thus didn't make that much.But fundamentally, I am pretty sure they will be delisted within the next 10 years. We are way, way behind quantum being useful, if ever.
Ok, I used chatgpt to do a summary but here's the pitch:Kohl’s, with $18 billion in sales last year, is currently undervalued at a market cap of $1.64 billion, well below its $7 billion in real estate assets. The company’s low valuation is driven by a high depreciation expense, despite owning prime retail properties across the U.S. These assets aren’t fully reflected in the stock price, which is currently at a 52-week low.Recent struggles, including a 9.3% drop in sales and a 20% decrease in share price, stem from strategic missteps under former CEO Tom Kingsbury, like retreating from private label brands. However, the company has taken steps to improve, such as the successful Sephora partnership and the appointment of a new CEO, Ashley Buchanan, with a strong retail background.Despite a bearish sales outlook of -8.5%, the stock still presents a 75% upside from its current price, considering the value of its real estate and historically strong operations. The company’s $7 billion in real estate offers a "margin of safety," and new leadership could drive future growth, making this an attractive investment with limited downside risk.

>>59615623I’ve seen this posted in multiple threads on here and have seen the same thing on reddit, assuming it’s the same guy (you) either just dump your bags or hold long holy shit woe is me Mr. $$ bags you have 500k to play with just DO IT>>59615648So much for that “contract” oof, MMs are keeping it pinned under $5 for expiry but we’ll see what happens going into the inauguration, hopefully we get some border spending
>>59615846The good thing about having a diverse portfolio is that you can close the winners to martingale into your losers (if you have strong convictions) without taking that much risk.On the other hand if you buy into an ETF you are stuck with the same underlying stocks regardless of market conditions.

>>59615654isn't this maybe more of a buy the rumor sell the news thing? I've been interested in intel for a while, but there are certain risks and uncertainties that made me hesitant so far and I wanted to see how this plays out. I'm actually not looking forward for them being sold or splitting up. I wanna buy them based on the fundamentals. If they elect a competent CEO and drop DEI they would be a super good stock. But like this? And the way these things are, I was not fast enough into buying such a huge increase and I'm not gonna fomo now on some stupid rumor. Am I wrong? should I still buy some?
>>59616845Wait a week.

>>59618509I bought the putsI think it has enough volatility to dip below 136 even if we’re trending upwards
>>59617795Despite all of the class action lawsuits?!
>>59618509>>shorting NVDA going into big tech earnings>sure, if you like losing $$Yes, but the nvidia ceo is in BEIJING on the same date as Trump's inauguration...and he wants Trump to give nvidia a way around tariffs...Normally I'd agree with anyone wary of shorting, but for the ceo to pick china over trump and expect a favor is just suicide. I think taking short position is the play.
>>59618520if you went to next week you might be alright there will be a lot of volatility but i think we pump further, market seems to be pricing in the Trump Trade again and crypto is pumping again also. equities are going higher, interest rates will start to go down and the fake and gay economy will start to turn real againI can see it going to 135 easily though, it will drop $2-3 at open and then recover in an hour almost every time
>>59617797>>59615651why short quant computing?
>>59618520>we’re trending upwardsLooking at the charts it actually looks like its trending downwards since 11/21, with the exception of candles at 1/6 and 1/7. Looked into it and those two seem to be hype and then disappointment from their demonstration at a Consumer Electronics Symposium.I can see this breaking below 130, definitely next week.Thanks for the heads up, I'm going to join you in shorting.
>>59618546I don't think he'll hold it against him, door is open for them to meet. Trump isn't dumb he knows the AI trade can and will pump the markets and has the ability to drag the entire market down due to how large the market cap is and its weighting on the indexes.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-07/nvidia-ceo-says-he-d-be-delighted-to-meet-and-congratulate-trump
Every mention of the AISP contract coming out has been fruitless so far. At first it was supposed to come out by the end of December. Then it was the end of this week.How can it be that IR replies to emails confirming that the contract will come out within a time-frame and then nothing happens? Any future mention of a date should not be trusted from now on as it is clearly bullshit.
>>59618571>I don't think he'll hold it against himNot personally, but if Trump didn't make an example out of him publicly it would look extremely weak to Xi Jin Ping, and there goes any negotiating economic negotiating power with China out the window.I understand Chinese culture enough to know that they would view it as an insult if a company leader that wants to do business with China were to miss their glorious leader's swearing-in event. So they would view nvidia ceo's refusal to attend to the inauguration as having been an insult he rendered to the US, and if the Trump takes it sitting down then he is confirming that he is a man who does not need to be respected.Optics are important to politicians most of all.
all in LPSN...extremely comfy
>>59618575I agree, their input is now worthless at best and harmful at worst. His response to me questioning the lack of news was due to edits and the approval process. Seems like a BS answer to me. I would’ve cashed out my $250k gains if it weren’t for IR leading me on. I’m pretty pissed about it. That said I’m still sitting on calls. It’s a new fiscal year and new admin is bullish, they had stated earlier they had contracts pushed out to FY 2025. And it’s been so long without news now something has to give. I’m hoping for a bombshell next week but we’ll see. Getting really tired of holding my breath especially after passing up a quarter million in unrealized gains. This has been a tough lesson to learn for me.
>>59618568zoom out. it always goes higher. if we didnt have the yen carry trade bullshit and the random selloff back in september on bullshit revised inflation data the entire market would be higher than it is right now. it is range bound 130-150 since october and 130 is a solid support for it so you could make $ on the 140 -> 130 spread but still its a better short at 150. regardless its going to 160 by end of february for earnings picrel>>59618575starting to think it is bullshit personally especially since they said it would happen before the inauguration. >>59618601I think your looking too much into it there isnt any bad blood there between them.

>>59618633>regardless its going to 160 by end of february for earnings picrelI'm guessing you're long? It broke 130 several times already. I looked into why it kept falling after earnings and it seems like the expectations priced in already are way higher than they can deliver, even with earnings beats.>its for the lunar year celebrationA CHINESE celebration, versus attending an AMERICAN celebration. It's choosing sides, and then asking for favors. My only personal experience with nVidia is having had a GPU that worked for 5 years and then melted. So my two personal cents are 1) their boards last longer than 1 year, so they really must be cyclical and we can't expect their earnings to increase forever because cyclical industries have earnings that rise and fall, 2) their cards do indeed suffer from issues related to high operating temperatures, which I've read is a problem with their Blackwell units.I have to go short on this, with a target of $120 to cover but if it falls faster than anticipated I might let it run.

>>59618567The highest numbers we can factor with quantum computers right now are in the two digits.There is no evidence that Rigetti's computer (or any of the other firm's computers) has EVER been available for outside usage, and thus there is no evidence that it actually works, at all.The more qubits you have the harder it is to keep them all entangled.As I understand it, noise reduction algorithms only work for predictable outside interference but the qubits themselves generate noise that cannot be filtered out.And even if they manage to make it work, the only real application we know of right now is still factoring numbers. Quantum computers can hold very very limited amounts of data.It's in the same category as fusion. Right now it's science fiction. We don't even know if it's physically possible to get useful energy out of fusion reactors, or useful compute out of quantum computers.Anyone who tells you they are useful right now (except as a interesting but useless toy for researchers to play with) is full of shit.
>>59616542It doesn't matter who buys Intel. CPUs don't drive the current meme craze over AI, and a new owner won't magically bring TSMC or NVIDIA-tier talent to the company. Intel is just another tech company that got too comfy while better brands worked harder.
>>59619397>It doesn't matter who buys IntelSure does for the stock price...
When do covered calls clear? I sold one with an expriy today, the price is ITM by about .30 and the market closed but it still shows my account. US markets are closed Monday, when does the option get called and cleared?
>>59618633I might buy more calls after I sell my puts, but I dunno. I would feel more comfortable buying calls around $130.
The chinese automotive fleet is still only 9% BEVs or PHEVs. This means there is still an insane potential for electric vehicles in China alone. Imagine if the chinese government, once the economy in China has stabilized, were to become even stricter regarding ICE vehicles and started to ramp up phasing out the ones already on the street. Sales for EVs would absolutely explode and manufacturers would struggle to keep up with demand.
How much will markets pump next week once orange man gets inaugurated?

>>59615552>t'was a huge blunder not taking profit on the 31st thoughit was, and a hard pill to swallow. lesson learned. but im trying not to beat myself up too much, I can't predict the future and I didn't know at the time that investor relations people can be misleading retards. I think the only thing I did that objectively bad capital management was not scaling into later dated calls. I didn't want to sell and be in cash only to have the contract announced early January and miss out my thesis for being in the stock anyway. Though I'd still be down a ton if I did that, because those have since tanked too. I'm open to criticism on how I handled it so I do better next time. But it's impossible to just call tops and exit at the perfect time.>>59618509>>59617304I got 7.5 Feb calls too, $400. Trying to get up to 1250 at a $0.25 average. I'm hoping the market sells off next week so I can continue scooping. Trying to be patient but also feel it's gonna lift off anyday.
>>59619666nice trips and the next few weeks should give you a good exit for AISP imo, possibly even next week. it's being posted on reddit as a squeeze target and trump is already talking about deporting.
>>59619687>$400Meant 400 as in 400 calls. Trying to get 850 more. The IR guy, who is quite unhinged and unprofessional, said the PR was slated to go out this week but got pulled for additional edits. I just wish he wasn’t so decisive and confident when telling me when things should happen if it’s subject to change but in the future I will remember this and not trust others even if they’re insiders or professionals. Life changing gains squandered there. Ultimately I’m glad I preserved my capital on this trade but would really appreciate feedback on what to do differently next time. I had the following exit conditions planned before taking the trade:>1. if news is announced, sell>2. if no news by EOY and my options are OTM, sell (trade is sucking so bail) >3. if no news by EOY and my options are ITM, hold until news (trade is going good so stay in) I didn’t consider it going back below $5 which was an obvious oversight but I’m not sure how I could’ve built in protections to avoid taking the damage here while also keeping my exposure to the upside. I think 3 should’ve been >if no news and ITM by EOY, scale out and into later dated calls But I still would’ve lost a ton of money from peak though likely much less. I also didn’t know what to do when it was a $250-$300k position. I wouldn’t allocate that kind of cash to that trade if I didn’t already have a position, so I thought about resizing. But that attitude would’ve also had me taking profit much earlier and not realizing the crazy exponential gains. If a position balloons into being 90%+ of my portfolio but my reason for being in the trade hasn’t occurred yet, do I resize or let it run? I obviously leaned toward not touching it since it was doing fine without my intervention until it wasn’t and now I’m naturally kicking myself for not hedging or derisking.>soz 4 blog shits just been eating me up and I haven’t slept well since
>>59619877>>59619694>>59619687Yeah it looks like if I would’ve rolled my entire position to Feb calls on Dec 31st I would’ve only lost 80% of my value from peak rather than 90%. So I would’ve effectively retained double what I have now. Thats probably what I’ll do in the future to preserve capital while keeping upside exposure. I just kinda froze up and wasn’t sure what to do. Selling peaks into longer dated options seems like a good strategy in general.
god I’m so stupid I could’ve just even bought up deep ITM calls and saved even more. damn.
I think the new Trump shitcoin is bearish for quantum.Whether it's a scam or real, either way it directs attention away from it.
>>59619938It's bearish for the entire economy. This is the top.
>>59615415How much are you putting in MSTR and BTC-related funds?
>>59619917You don’t have to roll m8 can just lock it in and wait for a better entry
>>59620232>lock it inLike sell then and sit on cash? My reluctance to do that was that I could’ve missed my reason for being in the trade (which I anticipated was going to be very big news announced pre market). Had I sold I would’ve completely missed the move. I considered selling half or selling my principal but even then it’s hard to decide when you should do that and there’s no real right answer. Since this was a catalyst driven trade it made sense to me to ride it out until either the catalyst occurs or doesn’t, perhaps scaling out if it’s looking less likely.I know there’s no real right answer to this question but I need a better framework for thinking about it so this doesn’t happen again. So far I like the idea of rolling calls the most, going longer dated and deeper in the money would’ve preserved most of my gains while keeping me in the trade.
>>59620397>So far I like the idea of rolling calls the mosrolling them much earlier than I did I mean. Like maybe roll 10% at 100% gain, 10% at 200% etc. I was itching to sell on Dec 31st sitting on +1000% gain but just didn’t know what to do.
>>59620103>BTC-related funds?Investing in BTC-related funds? Baka!Crypto? Noise. Nokia? Signal.Only Bobo and I haven't completely lost our minds yet.
