To Andre's credit there are some wrestlers I don't think could be cast well

Like Hulk Hogan, love the guy as a wrestling character, but yeah, just plays Hulk Hogan who can only really be Hulk Hogan-- you can't really cross cast him into a different role.

Triple H is like Hulk Hogan but without the wrestling character being good.

Yeah I am not chomping at the bit to play but offer stands. I'll bow out to one of the replacements if Banana don't want in and a replacement does. Otherwise I can play in that slot. Or someone who wants in before the game starts. Either way.

Start with second hardest mode (sometimes this is Normal, but as the poll included Very Hard I voted Hard), hardest mode for replays. Feel like this maximizes the play value for someone like me who likes challenges

I'll play as filler if we can't get to 13 by the time you want the game to start

But only if we're playing in the timeline where Corrik/Ulti are allowed in-- probably obvious from my input in the topic but just thought I'd be explicit

You're going to be happy you're on BBIG this week I think

Market being blood red is going to affect stocks already shorted to hell a lot less

Yeah. Regular human scenario for 10 year olds I agree

Aside from that, all the talk about people being banned or not allowed has been pulled out of nowhere.

Sorry, this is only the first time I am hosting, and I have only played a single mafia game(which was without corrik). I have only heard about him from crescent and plum

Not saying it's your fault as the host but the talk is here

This theme is good and it's been a while since I've played any mafia, but the vibe is real bad in here. I don't like the idea of trying to ban people because they don't play the way you like them to. Never seen Corrik be anything resembling "abusive" in mafia games (makes some VERY questionable plays at times, but not hostile) and while I'd believe Ulti was since he has his moments, you've got people saying he wasn't so I doubt he was either. Seems just like people wanting a controlled mafia environment not wanting rogue elements in the game, which sounds really boring.

I will say I haven't seen anything from Cena in the past year or two so if he is great in Peacemaker I'd believe it. He seems like he SHOULD be better at it than he has historically ended up being.

I claim mayor. There will be no lynch.

Miz Marine movies are actually decent. Well not sure about Marine 3 but the later ones he gets better.

Particularly the one with Shawn Michaels as his buddy was legit good in a cheesy action movie kinda way. I wanna say that was 6.

I mean it's not like, amazing, but I give his acting chops more credit than Cena's for it.

I went to the sign up page for a mafia game and a mafia game broke out

1. Batista
2. The Rock
3. The Miz

Unironically

The rest are bad. Piper isn't terrible I guess.

Yes he's cute

I felt having more time was worth the premium increase. Feels less like gambling and more of a certainty with that duration than say one-two week duration.

Like this Russia stuff even though I think it's not going to pan out is going to pin the market a bit. And Tyde, I mean, I don't know a date. No one knows a date. We just know the filings and the amendments. I think this week is say I don't know 30% likely. I think before April 14 is 95% likely.

Also keep in mind even if we get Tyde record date, we need to hit the date AND the date needs to pass for the pressure to really begin. What made Overstock really run wasn't just at the immediate forced covering, but also the outstanding options and crossing those intervals with huge amounts of options in the money. Overstock record date was like, May something and it didn't hit $100 till July. I imagine it's because it had a ton of stacked options chains that took a while to shake out, like for instance say we cross $10 next week. That puts every full option chain until April 1st fully in the money. We're talking tens of millions of shares each week. That creates constant upward pressure for weeks and weeks as MM constantly need to hedge millions and millions of shares just for calls. You wanna maximize the pop you gotta shoot behind.

I really dislike today's wordle choice. Seems like it's intentionally designed to try and make you lose. Got it in 6, had 4 letters by 3

I just bought 100 3.5c for BBIG that expire April 14. Very tempted to up to 200 too.

This price pattern just screams pop to me.

Like to put things into perspective the short volume on IWM has been around 70% the past few weeks. The short interest of IWM is like 30% of the float.

Shorting an entire index at that level isn't just corruption it's outright sabotage of the economy. The midcaps are the growing businesses of the US. It's in the best interest of the country for our businesses to succeed. I dont think the government gives a damn about retail investors per se, but they want our economy to do well by allowing growing companies to actually survive, and they want tax revenue from capital gains.

Random tinfoil hat theories

Russia Ukraine conflict is all fud spread by the media which is controlled by hedge funds and market makers, because they own pretty much everything

The government actually is being legitimate with these short selling probes and the penalty isnt going to be a simple fine its going to be forcing them to cover as well as a fine. Why? Because retail investors are on a huge uptick, and more important will actually pay their taxes. The tax revenue will be not insignificant.

So we're getting excuse after excuse to dump the market to try and cover as at low as a cost as possible. Eventually we'll run out of excuses and covering will happen when it's determined we can't drive things any lower.

I bought some IWM calls for March 31. Huge market bounce coming in the near future imo.

That being said if you don't have the faith, hugging as close to the money as possible is good. Sell $3.50 on the first spike as usual.

I don't sell calls because I'm here for the moon.

First strike I'll be receptive to selling any will be $8 but that's only if the premium is good. I'm not gonna sell any significant amount until $12

That being said stay on BBIG. Absurd amount of FTDs need to be delivered in the next week could move it up alone especially if we stay over 3

I'm just saying we kinda don't move with the market

Im convinced the Russia-Ukraine conflict will be resolved sometime next week and the market will go up a bunch when that happens. Im considering not selling calls so that I can capitalize on a quick jump, then buy again during a dip.

If you want to capitalize on the general market going up BBIG is not the play particularly. I'd buy IWM or QQQ

Yeah. I definitely was entertained by this one even guessed objection

Kinda crazy that I got the word that was 997/1000 similar in 130 tries and didn't solve until 180 (it was my only one that was remotely close up till that point)

Adrizer acquisition affects market cap and could have been a stopping point on the audit which was necessary for Tyde dividend, and may have been part of the reason for TYDE delay with the SEC.

We were waiting on three major catalysts to go boom
Adrizer acquisition
Tyde dividend (this one forces covering so is the big one)
Zash merger (due to underlying stuff in how tickers work this may also force covering at some level-- this why SPRT, now known as GREE, popped)

Also the official market cap valuation as a tangential thing, required for Tyde spinoff, which could make it pop if the company is valued sufficiently high (also requires adrizer to be finalized)

Adrizer is crossed off and in the PR/filing it specifically talked about Zash media and monetizing Lomotif.

Basically the only way this doesn't pop is if the company is outright lying to you or something falls through-- with the Adrizer filing and acquisition being official, and the info about Zash within, that loses a ton of merit as an actual idea that makes sense.

I think the call strategy is very low risk and good but at this point I would highly recommend you scaling back your call selling to like 75% or 80% of your shares.

Adrizer was a big piece of the puzzle and the upside of keeping a fraction of your holding outweighs the downside a bit of call income imo

But do what you feel comfortable with.

Always kinda liked Arbok and Weezing. Probably Team Rocket from the Anime.

Voted Weezing because I've actually used him in the game once or twice. I guess technically I did do a "Team Rocket" run that used Arbok but...

Looks like you may keep your shares for another week.

Me this movement is so inconceivable I'm loading the 3.5c for tomorrow, got 30 of them. Risk-reward seems right to me. Especially since Tyde dividend is a real possibility, MM math favoring $4 is still in place, and we've got a ton of FTDs coming up tomorrow

I think if you want a good conservative way to go long, when you get those shares with the 34k DON'T sell calls on them, just sell calls/puts on the rest. 34k if it runs to $100 is quite lucrative. Not that you'd hold that long but even if it ran to $12, you know?

Yeah

With monthly my list of leads was like

Receive (did a bunch of synonyms for receive)
Pay (I started variants on being paid, ways to be paid, reasons you'd be paid)

That eventually got me to Stipend being closer which kinda got me thinking "oh it's related to a regularly occurring thing" THEN eventually "subscription" being super close was an "aha!" moment.

This time I was definitely not hanging on the first reasonably close word too precisely

36 guesses only on today's semantle #19

I think having a better grasp of how the algorithm works (yesterday's monthly I was vaguely close with "receive" and wasted a bunch of guesses on receive synonyms which isn't really how the algorithm works) made it easier. There was some luck involved but yeah trying to make looser connections helped.

Closed puts, bought 1061 more shares

Interesting price action from fed meeting. Suspect bbig won't be held to $4 this week as the market wont help pin it down. Considering buying back my puts that have gained over half of their value and buying shares.

That we're up only $0.04 off adrizer news has me super bullish right now

As long as you never buy your calls back you're golden. That's the only way greed can get you

I still think they're going to try to pin it below $4. And may succeed because market is red

Looks like the Adrizer is now official which is why the pre-market pop

I got Semantle 18 in 308 tries. The game is super interesting but man I don't think I'll be able to play it much. That took forever ha ha.

Well there are many invested just a lot of nonsense obscuring the price

This ticker has a history of delays but yeah if you follow the breadcrumbs left in SEC filings and such it's looking like Tyde comes very soon. Like before end of Feb. There is also the merger with Zash which is again just a matter of time, and the official PR for the Adrizer acquisition which is just a matter of time. Also if you just look up BBIG without digging you don't immediately know it's associated with Lomotif, which is really the big money draw, that and the other things it owns synergizing with Lomotif.

Most of the buffoonery was under Ted Farnsworth's leadership-- Lisa King owns the company now so in theory things start getting done right.

I think a lot of what is keeping the price down is algorithm driven and I think there are a lot of things that could apply to this ticker that would leave you thinking it could go bankrupt if you're looking purely at data and buzzwords from past press releases. That and it not being super easy to find info on the stock

But yeah I have ultimate confidence here. I wouldn't float Net30 money on shares if I didn't really

Barring Russia literally marching on Ukraine I feel pretty confident this week will be pretty green.

Plunked down some SPCE calls too.
