Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

$HIMS today... ouchie. Senitment turned sour pretty quickly on that one.
 
Someone talk some sense into me before I loose a bunch of money. I'm blinded by $ signs right now.

Options are expensive and low volume, I try to stay away from meme stocks.

Stay with something priced normally and has good volume.
Yeah, the volume is a concern. I was thinking I'd keep rolling the contract to higher volume strikes to avoid not being able to sell...of coarse if it goes to plan
 
It can get worse, a lot worse.

I went in on a 2k contract this AM. 330 Put with 7/18 expiration. I hope it does...May roll depending on how the day goes and take some profit/reduce some risk. I was hoping SJ would recommended another spread lol.

Tradeable double tops don't come four years apart. That line you drew is 6 months long and you bought a put that expires in 23 days. There might be some resistance at 330 so it doesn't mean you can't/won't make money. Just means that chart is a questionable means of decision making. If I had that trade on I wouldn't be too greedy. There is some support around 290. Good luck.

I thought it might be the double top of the decade...
 
Does anyone have a solid understanding of the QQQI ETF by Neos? It's an intriguing high-income ETF with a short performance record. It sells covered options on its portfolio, pays a high dividend (14% trailing 12 months) and has maintained its NAV ITD. For the sake of accumulating wealth, I think QQQ is a better option, but I am researching it as a potential asset for post-retirement when I will need to generate cash. Better options?

Thanks,
 
The real question, is taco going to be the main topic or is it going to be like the first go around. Part of me thinks it will only be a small blip
Tariffs are such old news in the new regime of TicTok investing. They resolved themselves I guess. Onto new highs.

Sells options on NDX futures. That means the taxability of Div will be 60/40 LT/ST. You should read the prospectus to determine what kind of constraints the portfolio managers have and what kind of upside limitations and downside protection you have to get that income.

My suggestion is just invest in the traditional etf and sell a share when you need income. If you hold it over 1yr you will just be taxed at LT gain rate rather than income, you don’t give up any upside, it is cheaper, and you don’t have to deal with the messy tax situation that comes with option-selling strategies. Downside is you accept some volatility.

Thanks for your response. I did read the prospectus, before posting. It seems the option trading limits the upside (obviously) and little protection on the downside. They are also able to harvest losses which get returned as a return of capital reducing the basis in the asset.

I think that that you are probably write about investing in QQQ instead. But....

The option trading of the QQQI necessarily generates sales when the stocks are gaining whereas selling QQQ when I need income is random and my needs might occur at a bad time to sell. Perhaps sell 1% of the QQQ holding at regular monthly intervals would be a better strategy? OR perhaps harvesting any gain above 1% when and if it occurs. That would allow me to harvest all the gains and maintain the asset value at a consistent value other than dips.

I don't know. :) I have been accumulating/growing retirement assets my whole life without ever thinking of a strategy of how to actually liquidate the assets as needed for retirement, and going all into a "safe" bond or dividend investment is hard for me to swallow.
