100k : how do u know ot got leaked

intuitive Jackal_354 OP 100k : cause they didn't report earnings till after the close

ML Bull : it didn't get leaked. it's called positioning dude. lots of traders will close options before big reports or open new ones as insurance. stop assuming you're a victim of some grand scheme and start realizing you don't know as much as you think you do, and investing might be more complicated than youve assumed the past 15 years because you didn't have to think. you just bought, held, and the Fed made sure there was no where else to put your money. those days ended in 2022 so I'd suggest you either start educating yourself or hire an advisor. otherwise you'll just frustrate yourself so much that you'll give up, assume it's "rigged" against you and will go to CDs

ML Bull ML Bull : and I mean that in the most endearing and sympathetic way possible. behavioral finance is a real thing and your emotions are clouding your judgement

intuitive Jackal_354 OP ML Bull : no victim here dude, my style of trading always has an insurance policy. if you didn't read my post from earlier, I loaded up on QQQ puts and sqqq calls on the March up early today. but in my defense, a 10 dollar drop 5 minutes before close is more than someone buying a couple puts

100k : same here
should hv sold everything

Roger Sund : dumped it in January went with QDTE you get paid every week whether the stock goes up or down  go with a dividend stock

intuitive Jackal_354 OP : rug pull
