The Investment Thread

The market swings made for an epic week. I straddled heading into the fed meeting. The market shot up and I made over 500% on my call options when I sold. Could have held a little longer and made even more but hard to cry after what happened next. The put options I bought were worthless after the massive rally. Like so worthless they weren't worth selling if I could even find a buyer. This is what I always expect with a straddle play. Except this time, the market crashed on the back side of the rally and puts ended up making even more money than the calls and I sold them this afternoon. Took about half that money and bought more call options before the bell this afternoon. I've been on fire this month so it's about time I find some pain but that hot streak put me way up to start nibbling on some long term stocks I've been wanting to own but were way overvalued and able to do it with house money.
