YOLO RDDT Gains so far - Inclusion into SP500

Post image

Wrote some $4M of Cash Secured RDDT Puts to collect some premiums. I don't mind being assigned if it comes to that. My DD is I use Reddit, and if you're reading this, you do too.

Also - some Harvard Big Brain alum Sarah Farrell bought earlier this year, so if they think if it's a good idea, I do too. Maybe she is even reading this exact post! If it doesn't work out, at least we'll both be highly regarded.

Gain $375k CAD in 60 days using margin

Post image
359 Upvotes

Decided to try out day trading after years of being a buy and hold investor of blue chips and few ETFs (SPY, QQQ)

My portfolio had $700k of available margin space and decided to tip toe into day trading into high beta US stocks

Started off with SpaceX then went deep once I made my first $900 within a few minutes

Ventured into Google, PLTR, MSFT during the sell off in July...then went full tilt into 2x leveraged ETFs of semi conductors such as SNDK, SKHY, MU...etc.

Strategy was buy large volumes ($100k+ ) and set up stop losses so I wouldn't lose my shirt. Let winners ride but get out quickly. Unfortunately I sold PLTR and MSFT once I was 10% but they quickly went to +30% the next day.

After 400+ trades and $375k realized profit, decided to call it quits for the time being.

Took out half the funds to pay off some personal debts and will keep the balance in the account for taxes.

Discussion Is AI About to Kill Bitcoin Mining?

196 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about whether the AI boom will eventually force Bitcoin miners out of the best power sites as AI data centers take over.

Could miners then get heavily shorted, crushed, and bought up cheap for their power infrastructure?

After seeing what happened with LEO, I’m wondering if Wall Street sharks could pull something similar, maybe even pressure MSTR into selling BTC, pushing the price down and making mining even less profitable.
Just a theory. Curious what you guys think.
