Not at my pc is Feb exp before or after earnings?Blazin You know MTTR better than I do. I can roll my $20 strike January puts to $17.5 Feb for breakeven cost and in doing so cut my strike to $17.5 from $20. OR I sit tight on my $20s with an effective cost basis of $18.50 (after premium). Rolling would put my cost basis to $17.5 but extend my risk out another month. Thoughts?

I took this trade because I'm an idiot, new, or definitely both. I started my position far too early but still came out green.
Cheers! And welcome F to meme stock land.

Then I think the roll to the Feb options may be better choice

So I only check this thread about once a week. Figuring today would be good to catch up on the opinions on todays carnage... The first unread post I have when I click on the thread?
Oh what a difference 6 days makes....
Yeah, lots of people were suspecting a "correction" soon, looks like the fed may have no choice but to bite the pillow and hike those rates. To paraphrase LoA...
Markets down, rates up, that's the way I like to f**k.

what do rate hikes mean for bonds?As I understand it, healthy portfolio's should be weighted (high/low depending on the trend) for bonds, but I don't think I've ever seen anyone here talk about bonds.

There is obviously nuance but rates climbing means yields go up and bond values decline . So bond portfolio’s will lose value in a rising rate environment.

Not sure if this is the right thread for this but with the inevitable rapid Fed rate hikes, the market is going to crash at the end of the year or next. It's unavoidable. Doing it under Biden is an easy out for these folks.
Currently, my Roth 401k portfolio managed by Fidelity is heavily invested in Chinese stocks. Would it be wise to trust them to manage my portfolio through a collapse, or should I pull my money out before the tipping point? I know bonds are typically safe during a downturn but I want to avoid taking a major hit.

Whats your return on those chinese stocks? Those things are not safe at all. I'd at least transfer it to an S&P ETF. As far as your market crash, you're right that its unavoidable. The part that nobody knows is it could either be tomorrow or it could be 5 years from now.

Market crashes typically follow rapid Fed rate increases. Given current conditions and the speed at which they will increase the rate, it's a given at this point to taper inflation. I'll check later today on the returns. I think somewhere betwren 18-24%. I don't think any ETF will be safe from a market crash.

Its not the market crash I'm trying to keep you safe from. China is a massive ponzi scheme at this point. When that house of cards collapses, as it'll have world wide implications on all indexes, obviously chinese stocks will be hit hardest. 18-24% return doesn't justify the risk
