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.

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.

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!!

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

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.

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.

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?
