just blew a giant score , distraction is a terrible thing

If I wasn't always paying attention to multiple feeds of data, I would not have seen the MF news to begin with, so the suggestion to focus on only a few things is absurd on the face of it.

The stock was 4.80 when I brought it up, so even 10 cents for an option expiring in less than 2 hours is not exactly free money.

That said, I should have given it more time.

That's ok, my public calls for a GM squeeze and IBKR longs more than made up for the missed 1000% gain on this.

I know all my fans had those, but they don't say so as they know that will scare me away from posting any more gold.

f%^&%ing news hit the tape on MF

stock at 4.80, looks like no action yet.

I put up the 5 call, which is offered at 10 cents , decent size

watch for a minute, nothing happ, get distracted by the 1000 other things i watch, 5 min later the pos is $6 and the calls are worth a buck

this games a bitch without automation

Hmm, were you expecting that something would happen to it?

If not, would you have bought it @ $.10 with just a 2 hours before expiration?

If answer to both is no, then treat it as a coincidence.

Or were you thinking of selling the calls to pick up some "free" nickles and dimes?

I never said I was distracted by ET.

Thanks . I was worried someone might have made some coin and I wasn't being properly compensated.

For sure it wasn't you, so I'm even more relieved. llolllo
