Laughing, getting bailed out by insiders, being retarded/genius, gains/losses, and being an INTC bagholder aren't mutually exclusive. >https://old.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1eqs237/this_ones_for_you_grandma_guy_you_get_back_up_to/lhui3b4/ For all we know INTC-guy might have sold his shares. Also for reference I still have my INTC shares. Been selling upside covered calls on them since 2020. I finally got caught with this upside run selling $85 calls but I'm ok with missing out on the $15 extra.

>long-term contracts and obligations already signed How sure are we about this again? Like "Bear Sterns and Lehman are good", "Trump will keep his promises", or "All these .COM companies promised they'll use our hardware!"?

Opposite. We're saved thanks to OP. 1. Undefeated rules to making money: 1x Inverse WSB OP. **2x WSB OP on frontpage.** 3x WSB OP on frontpage at the top. 2. OP is on frontpage and bought *CALLS on TLT* w/ exp in mid-June. Which means they expect something bad to happen in the equities market, maybe sell in may go away, or the markets testing new fed chair Warsh. That's probably why they expect cut rates. Fed rate cuts to a market decline/crash will drive the 20yr yields down and TLT up. 3. Problem is OP is likely a retard and took too much risk in too short a time frame. The rich like Buffett/Dalio/Trump are loading up on short term bills/notes and gold rather than LT USTs. Also unlikely we get a downturn in May after we got one just earlier this year. Plus """market forces""" will likely want the market to keep going up either to stabilize PE/PC, win the AI race against China, prevent riots/revolution, so that they can unload a few TRILLION via the big 3 IPOs into retail 401K/IRAs via indexing coming later this year (SpaceX/Antropic/OpenAI), or you know Trump/GOP want to win the mid-terms. Who knows? All I know is that OP ain't thought about these things. So we're basically going to be good until at least mid-June. OP will probably lose on their trade. I know because I've been dip buying TMF since 2022-2024 as a hedge to my leveraged ETF positions only gotten get free tax loss harvesting at the end of each year. Thank you OP for your sacrifice.

Not a terrible play the warsh activation may cause a short run due to what he wants to make happen. My advice is if it jumps mid month on warsh sell half for a good profit and then maybe let the rest ride. I personally have played strangles on tlt every week for the last 7 weeks and only lost money one of those weeks. They have been getting harder though as premiums went up. We are at the low side of this loooong term range so in that respect it seems like an ok play but unless the new chair somehow convinces the others to vote for cuts i do see new lows happening

For an average Joe with $1000 to play, investing would take years to see a good profit. Whereas, as we saw on many posts, dudes are turning $500-1000 into 6 figures over a few weeks. Try to do that at casino in Las Vegas. It ain’t gonna happen.

yeah you probably did, except now we’re both just praying the market doesn’t remember we exist lmao
