Short interest in GME is still high. In this market, shorts are not safe for any stock, even companies selling physical media video games in a world going increasingly digital.

Couple of days ago, hedge funds and other dumb players had shorted more than the entire float of GME. Gamestop has around 69.75 million shares total. Yet the shorts and other morons were short 71.2 million shares of GME as of Dec. 31, 2020. That's greater than 100% of the float short. These are fools. You have stupid people like this running "professional" money. Under no circumstances do you short a stock that has that kind of ridiculous short interest level. To do so is potential suicide. Your risk/reward on a play like this as a short is so bad. Especially if that company is not going out of business tomorrow. All it takes is couple shorts to panic and it will cause mad dash for the exit. And that exit is the size of tiny mouse hole. And everyone is trying to exit through that same tiny hole. The shorts are going to get killed. It's not just going to be a squeeze. There won't be any pulp left after the squeeze. These short morons are trapped. And their only chance of escape is if they buy back their short shares. Which will cause another big spike. Shorts are fucked and any action they perform will kill them. Yesterday was just the beginning. Morons. They all deserve it.

I guess these fools don't remember the Volkswagen infinity squeeze of 2008 which made Volkswagen the world's most valuable company for like a day or two. And the shares short on that was 99% rather than greater than 100% with GME.

Yesterday price rise in GME was nothing and not jaw dropping. If WSB is successful and truly gets their infinity squeeze with GME, everyone's jaw will drop.

I sold 10 $12 FCEL puts for next month. The meet value is pretty high so I'm a little skittish about it.

I'm ready to buy back at the first sign of trouble. FCEL currently sits at $16.92.

No intention of owning FCEL at this moment.

...and of course weed continues to rally...

Short 15 APHA $12P @ .63

As mentioned earlier I think the sector may continue to gain leading up to legalization later this year.

APHA earnings after the close today. Just in case you might not be aware and get caught off guard playing with a stock that's reporting today.

Can't they short the same shares at different prices?

Thanks for the heads up. But thankfully earnings are out. Losses increased but revs exploded. The continued growth in rev expectations after the merger and US expansion are what is driving the big move today.

The options expire tomorrow. I'm going to let them ride.

lol. I thought the earnings were after the close today and not before the open. Oops. I'm still holding 1,500 shares with no plans to sell.

ARK is releasing a... get this... a SPACE EXPLORATION ETF. It's not certain what names will be in yet, but it's driving tickers like SPCE and SRAC way up today. For SPCE it's still moon or doom depending on their rescheduled flight, but this ETF hype may finally help it establish a $30 floor, especially if its still some 2-3 months before the ETF is available.

BB up a buck fifty aftermarket.

Well #$&% me in the $%*&(* &*^(* and &^(&( my $&&#%$& in a ^*%*.

Dude! I was so going to buy BB back at $7 and SPCE when it was $25.

I bought 1000 SAVA yesterday @ 10.40 and sold Fridays 10c for .85......an hour later the damn thing hit $12.75, up 40%

I've had the 1000 shares for a while and sold $10 calls for January. Then BB tanked and eventually I bought back the Jan calls and sold $9 calls for Summer. Now BB is on fire.

So I probably have dead money on my hands until the expiration date. Luckily its only around $7800.

Thats part of the reason why I dont sell options too far out. Weeklys are as far as I will go unless there is compelling reason like shorting the NNDM $10 puts last week (which I bought back too soon btw). This way, if something goes wrong, I dont have long to wait for the trade to unwind.

Sometimes I just throw up my hands, buy back the calls, dump the stock and start over. Usually there is no extra gain or loss. Other times it pays to wait.

Im not sure what BB's deal is but if history is any guide, the last big pump did not last too long. I wonder if when the hype is gone it goes back sub to $10 again, maybe even back close to $9. But who knows in this crazy market what will happen.

Yeah, I'm still working on the patience part. But I'm getting better.

Its better to sell options for $400 that expire in a month than $2000 contracts that expire in 6 months. Time truly is money when it comes to selling options.

My BB calls are in the money. LOL
Damn, you play all the WSB plays. You have calls on PLTR too? lol.

It's like we went back in time to year 2006 with people buying Gamestop and Blackberry shares. Now we need to bring back JDSU (Just Don't Sell Us) and Pets.com from Dotcom days. Then the circle will be complete.

Or DRYS shipping. So many morons got fleeced by that corrupt company.

I sold puts on PLTR back in the 19s. But I also own shares.

Just exited my BB calls and last of GME calls. My SOLO calls expiring today will expire worthless, but at least I won on the others

Have you looked at Arcimoto (FUV)? They're like SOLO and make 1 or 2 seater EV vehicles. I looked at FUV when it was around $6.50. Founder is all in on FUV which I like and they have some support from Tesla investor community. Sandy Monro is helping Arcimoto with manufacturing efficiency and Rob from Tesla Daily did Youtube interview with Arcimoto founder and CEO which you can search and watch. FUV have been on my radar but I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Interesting concept. I don't know enough about them yet but EV is definitely the place to be right now so I'll do some research.

I remember the first time (years ago) hearing a colleague had bought an electric motorcycle and I scoffed at it. Then I saw him zip by one day with acceleration that can only be described as "tremendous" - light bulbs went off in my head and my own personal vehicle (SUV) is a hybrid for the same reason. Fuel economy is nice but the performance characteristics were the primary reason. I can't abandon gasoline yet for my own personal use but Tesla is getting close...

FCEL dropping too fast for me.

Bought back the 12 puts and sold 10 puts for about the same price. The catch? I have to hold them an extra month.

Man, what a tangled web I've woven here.

I really need the economy to hold together until March 19. If everything works out that day will be like taking the largest dump of my trading life.

If not - I'll be spending a small fortune buying back puts.
