If you trade options, ask yourself this question: what's my edge?
Trading options is a zero-sum game. If you have no edge, you will lose money long term. 99.9% of you or 100% of you are trading based off public information. Remember to ask yourself 'what's my edge?' Wall Street employs hundreds of the country's best and brightest students, who after being employed at some hedge fund have access to vast more information than you and retrieve it quicker than you. What makes you think you can outsmart vast teams of professionals that do this for a living? (oh btw, they wouldn't even trade options in their own personal accounts, if they legally could anyway)

For those of you that wonder how line still goes up given the general state of the world. > “The outbreak of World War II in September 1939 initially hit British stocks, but by March 1940 they were the highest in a year, according to data from fund manager Winton Group. Investors missed that the Nazis would overrun continental Europe and destroy much of British industry in air raids, and that the U.K. would lose its empire. Stock prices plunged when France fell.” That is to say, despite the popular believe that the market is “forward looking”, it tends to be extremely optimistic.

Should I have held the metals themselves longer? I mean, I took the profits and put them into a miner fund, but letting the metals run a bit more before buying into the miners would in retrospect have been smarter.

What’s wrong with this strategy?
With the margin requirements potentially falling to $2,000 this year, I’m starting to consider spreads, namely credit spreads as a way to semi-safely grow my account. Please tell me if I’m missing something here. The plan: Daily far OTM 0DTE SPY credit spreads. Starting fund: $3,500. Right now SPY is around 689, I would be looking at the following options. Jan 26th Long put(buy) - 641 strike 35 contracts @ 0.02 Short put(sell) - 642 strike 35 contracts @0.03 Entry credit: $35 Max risk: $3,465 The problem: So I am risking $100 to make $1 per contract a day, betting that the market will not fall 7% tomorrow and wipe out my position. I’ve heard this as picking up pennies in front of a steamroller, where one bad day could wipe out 100 wins in my case. From what data I can find SPY has fallen 7% in a day on 11 occasions in the last 25 years, and most of those were in groupings like during COVID. So I would need a way to protect against days like that. The solution: I plan to purchase a separate long put contract each day to cut into my daily earnings and protect as much of my credit spread as possible, and try to bail on the main credit spread if it approaches a 5% daily drop. Jan 26th Long put - 661 strike 2 contracts @ 0.05 From what I can see, if the strike were to drop to $642 these contracts would be worth $3,786, so this would cover my fund amount in the event of a large drop. That would bring my daily profit to $25 each day. Naturally I’d want to reinvest my winnings and grow this account so I could earn more a day, while setting aside money for taxes. Am I missing anything else though?

Set an order to move about 1% of the index fund port into a more speculative play on a silver mining sector fund on the thesis that the miners are lagging the spot price, and I can afford to risk 1% of the long term stable index investment on a more volatile fund.

It works until it doesn't. When it stops, you will lose it all. Only strategy works other than investing in good companies is arbitrage. You have to have models of a quant fund for that or atleast being a convertible bond hedge fund.

MANAGEMENT IS NOT INSANE, THEY JUST CHOSE INNOVATION DESPITE THE COSTS Dilution isn't *as* bad as it seems, as the company has been repurchasing 500 Million a year, but the reason for Stock based comp is to fund these glasses which are releasing Snapchat glasses are releasing this year If the glasses fail and he scraps them, Snapchat saves roughly $1B a year in R&D, turns cash-flow positive, slows dilution, buys back more stock, and the market probably re-rates the company. If the glasses actually work, the upside is even bigger. Many will point to the fact that Snap has failed four times and never scrapped the project, but I believe this time is different. Looking back at 2016, this launch was essentially a beta test at a time when no other tech giant had entered the arena. They rushed a product into a market that wasn’t ready, with technology that was too early for its time. The versions failed for simple reasons, including that the price point was too high and the technology wasn’t advanced enough. By 2021, while they finally had actual augmented reality, the battery life was horrible. One thing that I find really interesting is that Snapchat signed a $400 million/year deal with Perplexity. Perplexity will integrate its AI with Snapchat, and this is huge for both companies. Young people love AI and they love Snapchat. It’s likely this deal generates multiple new users for Perplexity, likely causing the company to extend and likely increasing the value of the contract for next year. It’s also likely that Snapchat uses Perplexity’s AI in its glasses. One thing that I believe is a game changer is that Snapchat announced that it will be charging for storage. Users can either purchase storage monthly or upgrade to Snapchat+ for a small premium. This is huge, as a majority of individuals in the 18–30 age range use Snapchat for its memory/storage features, and soon they will be charging for it. Many people have stated that this will cause the death of the company, but the question I always ask in situations where a company changes a free feature to a paid feature is whether the amount of users who end up paying for the feature will financially exceed the amount of users who leave. **Q2 2025 ARPU (Average Revenue Per User): \~$2.87 / 3 ≈ $0.96 per user per month** Snapchat+ is $3.99 per month. For every 4.15625 users that leave Snapchat due to storage costs, just one has to pay for its premium service for Snapchat to make the lost revenue back. So the answer to my question is: yes, the number of people who end up paying will exceed the number who leave, from a financial standpoint. And let’s be honest—the number of users leaving just because they have to pay for storage will be very minimal. They likely won’t save their photos to the app, but users will still use the app. One thing I love about the fact that there will be users who don’t want to pay is that they’ll end up saving storage costs for the company, lowering the bill they receive from AWS and CPG. Snapchat is the only company that has successfully made a paid version of its app that people actually pay for. Meta’s verification badge is only available to people with immense followings on their platforms, unlike Snapchat’s, which anyone can access—and people do use the features that the paid version offers; it’s not just a status thing. “Stock Repurchases: In October 2024, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million of our Class A common stock. We completed this program in May 2025. For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we repurchased and retired 57.3 million shares of our Class A common stock for $500.6 million, including costs associated with the repurchases.” Repurchases under this program will be funded from existing cash and cash equivalents. As of September 30, 2025, Snap had $3.0 billion in cash, cash equivalents, and marketable securities. This means dilution, despite still being high, is much lower than what others are reporting. They bought back $500 million worth of stock from 2022–2025. RSUs were valued at $1.3 billion in 2022–2023 and $1 billion in 2024–2025, which is by no means low, but it’s important to mention that no one mentions the buybacks. Numbers are better, everything from EPS, revenue is better then 2022, but the stock is down 50% from this time, primarily due to them burning cash (which will end once they release these glasses) and Apple's ad policy change Snapchat+ is growing steadily, making them 700 million/year A question many are asking is why Snapchat+ was released in 2022, yet the stock declined massively. This thought process is completely correct, but it’s important to look at why they’ve had massive drops during this time. Apple’s IDFA (privacy) changes, the post-pandemic tech stock drops, and the large cash burned on R&D were the main reasons for the stock dropping. However, a large part of my thesis is that they will be over with burning money, and that they’re stepping away to other business models, which is huge. Snapchat is innovating—every quarter recently there are new features on the app for paid and non-paid subscribers. Innovation is the most important thing for any tech company, and Snapchat is not letting their app die. https://preview.redd.it/zwyre0u5b0fg1.png?width=1400&format=png&auto=webp&s=945cba54b22a5382da955d77271b4d3abf588b63
