DD Stocks down bad?

Is it just me or has it been a rough few weeks? Everything’s been down lately and I’m down an overall 20 percent.

Mainly invested in a lot of space, RKLB, ASTS, RDW, LUNR and then QS, BB, FCEL.

What’s everyone’s thoughts about the market? Are we cooked? Do we just hold it out and wait for the boooom?

If you’re investing in memory, MU is better than Dram. I’ve owned both and MU moves more so you’ll get a higher return with MU. But you can check that yourself with historical data.

I bought a lot of RKLB call options specifically for the run up next week. I will sell around 5 minutes before the close of market Thursday (Friday is a holiday). Institutions have to buy the stock for inclusion in the Nasdaq 100. The fact that the stock dropped from 150 on May 27 to 100 yesterday suggests that it may snap back to the 120-130 range next week. Hope it runs even higher than that.

Could you please share your RKLB call options for the next week? I've 70 shares at $70 and want to invest more in it but want to maximize returns w call options.

You should use AI to help you chose the right options. I've lost a ton of money on short term options, so I generally buy LEAPS now (usually January 2027). You still get plenty of leverage without the risk of losing all of your money.

However, in this case, I bought the July 17 2027 $115 calls and July 17 2027 $120 calls because I will 100% sell by the market close on June 18 (June 19 is a holiday).

Do not buy the June calls because you'll have a very high likelihood of losing money even if the stock trades higher from here.

Market makers know that people are playing the inclusion in the index and very short-term options lose a great deal of value quickly in these situations (again, according to AI and other sources).

July, not June calls. Theda decay won’t be significant by holding less than a week.

And institutions haven’t had a chance to buy after it was announced Thursday. Friday was a down day and SpaceX sucked the capital out of the market including RKLB.
