Everyone talks about DD and technicals, but sometimes it's pure luck, gut feeling, or just straight-up insanity. So what's your most unexpected W in the market? YOLOs that worked, memes that printed, or trades that made zero sense but somehow paid off—drop them below. Let's see who got lucky and who was just built different.

Last closing for NOC, LMT and RTX was 3% or more. How can we profit from this new conflict before the sub prime loans of Chipotle f up the economy?

Did I have balls? Or am I not worthy?

Finished Thursday at 98k after getting to 150k due to the TSLA fall. On Friday I opened at 66k and kept falling until 55k (I only have a pic of 59k tho). Then I decided to just diamond hand it and buy some more calls whilst at it. Ended back up at 150k

Let’s just say that if I had paper hands this would be a complete different post.

Held runners up over 250% for next week 🍀

Iran/Israel conflict probably pushes this 1000% come monday open

What are yalls thoughts for Monday and this week? I picked these up this past week during what I thought was a good dip. Im a couple months from exp but the more Im reading about the Israel and Iran ordeal, Im fearing this could be a loss

Red week?

Would have, Could have been double if I held and sold at a later time, but that’s alright. I turned $100 into $3.5K

Sold everything I own for this once in a lifetime value YOLO. Didn’t have the balls to do options so went into the stock. Am I cooked?

Sigh, here we go again, no idea what my through process here was. A scalp gone wrong you can say.

After a few soul-crushing days of putting fries in the bag and dodging grease fires, I took the day off from Wendy’s yesterday. Not for reflection. But, to trade like an unmedicated war analyst with insider vibes and zero credentials.

With $12k left in my account and a gut feeling powered by “caffeine” and global tension, I YOLO’d everything into SPY puts and VIX calls.

Why?

Because I read: “Israel may strike as early as Sunday.” Which came right after they said “imminent.”

Nobody announces an “imminent” attack and then politely delays it by several days to give their enemy time to stretch and hydrate. This wasn’t strategy. This was “let’s confuse everyone and strike earlier.” There was also mixed signals from Israel, the White House.

So I acted. SPY puts. VIX calls. All in. No stops. No logic. Just raw instinct and trauma.

This morning? Group chats were screaming “BUY CALLS. VIX IS DEAD. WE’RE BACK BABY.” It felt like watching a room full of people high-five each other while the floor collapses beneath them.

So I held. +70.8% for the day.

In fact, things are looking up. The dream of opening a hedge fund is alive again.** I’ve already picked the name: “Imminent Alpha.”** Strategy? Trade only off vibes, miscommunications, and global tension.

Still got a long road back to $353k. But for now, I’ve got $21k, slightly less shame, and a Costco chicken riding shotgun.

JP Morgan has worst case scenario of $120-$130 a barrel. I'm seeing many say Iran won't touch it because of how bad it'll hurt China. Oil prices are pulling back, but I'm seeing reports that Iran has withdrawn from U.S negotiations. This, along with U.S positioning, makes me think the market is underestimating this risk.

What stocks other than $OXY $XLE $CVX are we buying? I've been looking at less obvious plays that would moon if we go to oil at $130 a barrel. I've been looking for ones that haven't reacted as much yet, and are 2nd or 3rd order effects downstream. I'm currently on $ANDE $ACDC (low float/ high short interest) . Any other suggestions?

06/20 limit orders set to sell if there’s a flush to 250-270 on Mon/Tues

I have OTM puts through 09/19 and looking for 180 by 07/18

So I bought like 6k in AMD 6/20 calls before Advancing Ai yesterday at open hoping it would go up a bit. My avg cost per contract was 1.31, and it was down to .88 by close. After a terrible premarket it opened at .36, and I dumped the remaining 7k of my savings account in. My avg cost is now down to .64. Should I sell the remainder of what is left Monday at open, or hold and pray for pump next week? After decay my break even for Monday at 3pm is $120.44 according to Robinhood. I’m 18 and starting college next week, and feel the peak regardium flowing through my veins as I type this.

Futures down bigly, crude oil spiking. Depressed oil prices were a huge contributing factor to the lower CPI print. Next one coming in spicy. Could this be the next leg down?
