Congrats on the 10x ! Patience and wait forever to hit 7 figures.

u/mori226 Paid $1.25m to change his flair Feb 13 '25

Thanks Uncle! This one was a hell of a ride... MULTIPLE -70% drawdowns after it had run up to 3x or 4x.. and I still held, until today.

u/Oscur925 Feb 13 '25

You played this so perfect man congrats. This shit dipped hard soo many times I’m sure you were debating closing the position out multiple times. I’m currently sitting on 20k gain in shares but it was easier for me to ride the dips because it was just shares lol. Kicking myself for not getting some options as well either though.

u/mori226 Paid $1.25m to change his flair Feb 13 '25

Yes... most people don't understand how incredibly difficult it is to hold to 10x like this. So many times, I was tempted to take profits, finger hovering over the sell button. Around 5x and 7x, I ALMOST got out.

u/reddit_is_geh Feb 13 '25

Coulda been 20x if you weren't a pussy ass bitch and held.

u/fredandlunchbox Feb 13 '25

Nothing wrong with taking gains either though. A win is a win.

u/OUTFOXEM Feb 14 '25

I have lost so much money waiting for round numbers (ex. 10x vs. 9x). I’ve had to tell myself that if I’m going for +$500 just take it at +$478. It’s been my biggest issue personally with options.

With that said, congrats holding until 10x lol.

u/NearbyPhysics8267 Feb 17 '25

My best few weeks of scalping options was just selling them for a non arbitrary amount. The human mind loving round numbers really is a hinderance to trading

u/VisualMod GPT-REEEE Feb 17 '25

You poor, round-number-loving fools. True wealth comes from understanding the market's irrationalities. Bet on the chaos, not the patterns.

u/isospeedrix Feb 13 '25

question is why all or nothing? as opposed to sell 5% each bit on the way up

58

u/mori226 Paid $1.25m to change his flair Feb 13 '25

Yeah you can do that... I just don't like to dilly dally around. I like to be either IN, or OUT. Personal preference.

20

u/isospeedrix Feb 13 '25

dam im the literal opposite. i just have limit orders set at different prices so a portion sells when it hits that price. too much fomo if i sell everything too early it feels psychologically safer.

11

u/Retro21 Feb 14 '25

Well it is safer, and what most professional traders do. For every post like OP there will be hundreds who could only be all in or all out on a trade and end up losing their lot.

u/National_Asparagus_2 Feb 14 '25

This is the part I do not understand with some of my friends. My guess is the willingness to get the jackpot and in their mind they will never have to work or they will feel accomplished. I get it some amount of money can be life changing. Humans never have enough of this evil

u/Broad_Connection_314 Feb 13 '25

I sold my 2/14 $40 calls for 6x returns. I bought them on 1/31 so wasn't a long hold but am kicking myself for letting them go before the super bowl. I wasn't sure if for some reason there would be a negative news cycle after and drop the price. Congrats for riding this out to 10X!!

26

u/mori226 Paid $1.25m to change his flair Feb 13 '25

I don't fuck with FDs. That's straight gambling. I mainly deal with long dated contracts, LEAPS, or shares.

u/IlIlllIlll Feb 13 '25

What's FD?

Bro please tell me some of your moves. My account is getting killed.

u/mori226 Paid $1.25m to change his flair Feb 13 '25

You don't know what an FD is??? And you are on WSB?? Brother.

u/wighty Dr Tighty Wighty, MD Feb 14 '25

Honestly that's the first time I've seen that used on WSB in like a year. Granted I don't frequent this as much anymore.

u/IlIlllIlll Feb 14 '25

Lol tell me

33

u/ValuesHappening Feb 14 '25

Old school WSB lingo from pre-GME days when we didn't need to spell it "regard" - stands for fgts delights (OTM weeklies), because the idea is that playing FDs is a great way to take it up the ass.

u/FeaturePlayful3581 Feb 15 '25

Question! If you do leaps or long ex-date call, do u normally wait till the end of ex-date or close it whenever ur target p/l is hit?

3

u/Clear-Midnight5190 Feb 14 '25

Don’t kick yourself. Take the big gain and the emotion out of it all. It will continue to serve you

Plus, I think if you would’ve held on it could’ve dropped you never know nobody knows and that’s a huge nobody !

u/Natural_Bag_3519 Feb 14 '25

💯 diamond hands are formed on the way down and on the way up.

I'm AST enthusiast, in since '21 . Started at 7 up to 10, 14, down to 8...5...2... Then I loaded the fuck up. It's been a ride.

When I hit 10x, I'm not selling.

Edit: I buy and hold shares, but trade options during periods of volatility to take full advantage

Was your plan all along to wait until ER? Despite being down 70% at points

161

u/mori226 Paid $1.25m to change his flair Feb 13 '25

Yes, I was going to see how it played out before ER. I was really banking on getting out on a huge short squeeze, which is exactly what happened I think. This is a telltale short squeeze.

u/PluckMyGooch JPows Bottom Bitch 🤙🏽 Feb 13 '25

They did also announce that the superbowl ad generated 650% more traffic to their platform causing record high numbers of new customer registrations and platform activity hit record highs.

People are so short sighted with this company its crazy, for whatever regard that reads this:

- its founder lead, so there's skin in the game

  • has a really attractive balance sheet

- their design people are fairly competent, and so is the marketing team

  • has beat 15/15 earnings, so its not like they suddently got a hold of how to run the company, they always did

- their board/expertise of big boys is fucking crazy, FDA ppl, NOVO ppl etc

  • these fucking idiots are about to start printing and they still have not even developed the HERS side of the business (you know hoes pump numbers like no other), they just recently announced menopause stuff (AFAIK relatively "niche" market, so all of dem soccer moms might hop on it if it gets popular with their marketing)

- they keep expanding their product line, now including food and snacks too... so if ur a fat fuck you got your glp1-ish, and your medical expert chatting you up in ur smartphone perhaps recommending those nice high protein bars they sell too

- they keep developing the personalization side of things, which is also really nice, as numbers show (people stick way better to treatments if they aint puking their guts out because of high dosage, or not noticing shit because of low one)

- rfk hates big pharma, so if these dudes start selling bluethamine or whatever fucking trendy things nutty ppl like nowadays, he's all in too

- trump didnt apply tarifs on pharma (so he at least understands the relevance of keeping that market going without disrupting it)

- actual usage of IA which we all know gets ppl harder than their pills

etc

etc

etc

I can legit keep going for an hour, and there are risks (amazon going all out on their side of things, some big shit decision...) but I say it when I mean it, this shit right here might be generational wealth type shit considering the mix of a good business + jawdropping valuations

I got, after today's rush, like 60% of my portfolio on this - been in since 17 bucks, didnt sell a single share and just added up

My personal PT is 70-80 bucks right now, I really see how this company could be 15-20bmarket cap and completly make sense NOW (so I thought the market would take this whole year to realize, this rush is a surprise tbh, had no chance to stack up at good prices)... so imagine if they keep pumping numbers & beating earnings....

u/Natural_Bag_3519 Feb 14 '25

Shit, they got menopause shit? I'm in. I'm just a 40 year old dude but i work with enough older ish ladies that are fuckin over that shit, it does not seem like a good time based on their conversations. I guarantee they'll pay $60-100 a month for anything that would mitigate their symptoms.

u/Bozhark Feb 14 '25

You quoted selling bluemethlymine from a regarded source as a potential upside if they sell it?

Thank god you’re in the market and not shaping it

u/xsairon Feb 14 '25

No, rfk has been seen taking whatever the fuck that is, and hes a known crazy dude for those "alternative" drugs/treatments

It was more of a joke in between the fact that he hates big pharma, and hims being a disruptor of it, nothing else

1

u/Bozhark Feb 14 '25

He ain’t a distributor.  

He’s a disruption

I couldn't find the news, so I sold 57% of my position too. Holding the rest through earnings and may buy the dip if it tanks.

Also, what made you drop so much cash on 11/6?

u/mori226 Paid $1.25m to change his flair Feb 13 '25

It actually never went below my buy price after I bought... But it went -70% from the top after going 3x ($6.6 was the contract price) on the "OH NO AMAZON IS GOING TO KILL THIS COMPANY" FUD and it dropped 20%

u/Tony_Cheese_ Feb 13 '25

My avg is $18, idk whats happening and havent followed the stock at all. today was a surprise. Idk if I wanna sell or just sit on it because the bald fat no-boner curing market surely will continue lol

u/the-banana-dude Feb 13 '25

I don’t understand how it can go up 25% in a day based on no news. Surely this will crash again soon.

u/PluckMyGooch JPows Bottom Bitch 🤙🏽 Feb 13 '25

There was news.

They announced their supa bowl ad drove 650% traffic to their platform and broke records for new customers

u/the-banana-dude Feb 13 '25

I thought this was from the day before?

u/PluckMyGooch JPows Bottom Bitch 🤙🏽 Feb 13 '25

Nah it was released today

1

u/the-banana-dude Feb 14 '25

Ah nvm I am thinking the old news of them being advertised on the Super Bowl, not the stats they came with. Either way I’m surprised my news flow has been so dead on it, I need a better stock app…
