Discuss short term positions! Preferably things you are looking to buy and sell over a time period of less than 2 weeks.

I've currently got 850 shares of ZOM that I intend to hold for at least 6 months, but I'm gonna start day trading it as well. Bought today at 2.19 and sold at 2.29 for a nice couple percent.

Anybody have some stocks with high volatility that they're looking to swing?



Obligatory: You can lose your ass day trading. Don't take my advice on anything.

Looking at ZOM and comparing it to options trading requirements

The underlying equity security must be a properly registered NMS stock.
The company must have at least 7,000,000 publicly held shares.
The underlying stock must have at least 2,000 shareholders.
Trading volume must equal or exceed 2,400,000 shares in the past 12 months.
The price of the security must be sufficiently high for a specific time.

Looks like it should open an options chain soon, assuming the price goes high enough for a long enough time. When that happens I'll probably buy a few LEAPS and exit shares.

DIS calls
AMD calls

vega low for many expirations and both these 2 had strong earnings and no good reason to be slapped this hard

On top of my shares I’ve doubled down with July expirations options

AMD has a reason, High earnings are built into the price now.

Disney is probably a good call

Bought some GME calls cheap on Friday, up decent in after hours and expecting a little action with the lawsuit + DeepFuckingValue loading up even more shares. Could hype it for a 2nd mini run

E/ also holding RIOT, MARA calls. Should be huge gap up on Monday with btc price.

Nah, when you bet your life savings it only takes one loss to wipe you out. Good on your gains though.
