  1. Reminds me a lot of the Liberator from the Star Wars universe: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Liberator-class_cruiser Vague similar shape, both are light fighter carriers and light troop carriers, and of course, the same name. Yeah this is the pocket carrier everyone is asking for, except a bit more vulnerable than what people wanted I'm going to guess. But I think it'll probably be a critical ship in staging military ops. Don't think I'll be buying one with real money as I have a Polaris, Idris and Banu Merchantman already, all of which are carriers of some sort in their own right.
  2. Guardian mode Veritech vibes. https://www.kent.net/robotech/mecha/rdf/veritech.shtml
  3. Seems like a lot of firepower for even a heavy fighter. Also, that's totally what the X-Wing would look like if it got a re-imagined reboot into modern cinema tech.
  4. They actually had a big beat on deliveries/production, even with no S & X. So I'm expecting a strong upwards move.
  5. Apparently there's going to be some upgrades for us Concierge peeps: Nothing terribly exciting. Not even sure they need more staff to handle requests, when I couldn't name my Hammerhead just recently they got it sorted in a day, which I consider very timely. But anyways, something to pay attention to I guess.
  6. I got assigned puts on the way down, now I'm doing covered calls. Would definitely like to see the price rise enough to get a contract or two assigned on me, I enjoyed the bullish play (selling puts) a lot more than the bearish play. Will be interesting to see what the delivery/production numbers are in Q1 and if it can move the stock up again.
  7. Biden's infrastructure speech today is at 4:20 PM. Bullish indicator for memelord Elon Musk.
  8. The only ship I even have in the initial list is the Hammerhead. And since I got it grey market via an upgrade chain, I won't be able to name it until Wave 2 (I think).
  9. So I just held. Price of S&P inclusion was $695, and I think it probably won't drop below $600 going forwards, except for maybe quick dips on bad news. The arbitrage between these two wasn't big enough for me to pay all kinds of short term gains taxes. Also, back in Oct I said... I would have made a crazy amount of money off this play, but unfortunately I was waiting for the call I picked out to get down to under $40/share, and it was about $3 above that when the S&P inclusion news hit. Would have made 5 to 6 times the money I would have put in. I probably should have just done a more affordable strike. Still figuring that stuff out, but this event was such a one-off I wonder if an opportunity like it will ever present again.
  10. Be sure to watch the credits all the way through. Another really good season!
  11. A week later its still happening. Its the S&P inclusion squeeze. Glad I got back in even if only 4/5ths what I had before. Been selling puts aggressively. I do think its coming back down to the $500 range after all the S&P tracking funds make their buys in the second half of December. If its gets ridic high I'm gunna sell then and then rebuy in January. Only problem with that plan is Tesla's 4Q earnings will probably be really good, so I need back in if I sold before that announcement. Might be too hard to time and if I judge it so I'll just hold.
  12. Its happening... This is pretty fun to watch.
  13. And... it happened! https://www.streetinsider.com/Corporate+News/Tesla+(TSLA)+to+Join+S%26P+500/17609817.html
  14. A device that prevents old threads from being bumped as someone's first post.
  15. I wonder how many times it was stolen before I stole it. 😇
  16. Not to get political but... I get it, you hated him 4 years ago and you still hate him now. I've seen a lot of hate thrown his way, but this guy is a consistent winner and an overachiever. That's what the people who support him love about him. Yes there have been some scandals, yes there have been some lies, and maybe a few times he's twisted the truth to make himself look better. He's out there everyday proving those haters wrong time after time. Call it jealously, call it envy, some people just can't handle how successful he is and how much money he has. You're even jealous that he's got a hot foreign model as his wife. You may not have wanted him in this role, but he's there now and there is nothing you or I can do about it. I know its possibly going to get worse over the next several days, but like it or not Tom Brady is turning things around in Tampa Bay! 😈
  17. A good week for my TSLA trading. I'm 4/5th of my position back in, ready for upward movement before the S&P announcement, if it ever comes. https://postimg.cc/N9FmYWB4 Have not bought the Jan call because they just didn't get cheap enough because the election never sent the stock down much at all. Still a chance for it if Trump forces the secret service to remove him from the white house by force or if he calls for all the white supremacist militia groups to rise up and overthrow the government.
  18. I'm finally getting assigned on some of the puts I sold. Been doing this for months figuring I'd get some stock this way at some point, but it only happened today. Oct 22nd play from when the stock was at 426, "Filled Sell to open 3 TSLA Oct 30 2020 397.5 Put (Weekly) Limit 4.04". Today it finished at 388. So I'm buying back in. I also bought some outright at 405 afterhours on Wednesday. I still see more downside probable for next week and sold puts today at 350 strike, may do 1 or 2 more next week probably around 350 again. I can easily see more downward movement due to the election (both before and after) and the covid spike. Also technicals have reversed and there should be a selloff from the momentum riders, in which case we might be in a longer down trend until some news fixes it. Would be a good time for the S&P committee to act. Also on the day after election day if the markets tank like I think they might from the inevitable uncertainty resulting from states unable to count all their absentee ballots, I'm looking to buy (not sell) a January 2021 call. By that time quarterly earnings will be in and the election stuff will be resolved, possibly covid vaccines in early deployment, possible S&P 500 inclusion, etc. I like my chances.
  19. Here we go: I'm definitely getting one when they do the next kickstarter.
  20. He has a regular thing on YouTube with a surprisingly-science-savvy comedian friend, and he still Tweets a lot. I follow NdGT. This game, however, has seemingly gone nearly nowhere. Glad I let you guys talk me out of it.
