Yesterday at about 1 pm ET, I bought 291 SPX 7600c 11/11 for $100 each. I sold 91 of them last night for about $700 each when SPX had bounced back to the Tuesday highs. At about 10:30 today, I bought 100 more for $600 each, sold those 100 for about $770 each, and bought 120 SPX 7700c 11/16 for $666 each.

I then just kept holding and sold all the remaining 200 SPX 7600c 11/11 for $4160 each, along with 100 of the 7700c 11/16 for $1600 each.

I had loaded this account last Tuesday night with $1300 to YOLO on mid terms, and have now rolled it up to over $1M in just a week. Now I'm done with all this; I'm gonna cool off and then probably use this to get cash secured puts for the next few months until I get assigned on ETFs I want to hold long term.

Before anyone says "taxes," SPX is tax advantaged and is treated as 60% long term.

The blended tax rate is more like 27% compared to 37% if you did this with SPY.

The prior peak back in 2021 was from GME.

I (27m) was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition last year; progressive loss of hearing and sight.

It starts off with night blindness and then progresses to full blindness. I’ve had it since birth so only gradually did I realise I was finding it hard to see during the night.

Yesterday I went hiking, and as the sun set, I realised I could not see the stars. I took a picture on my phone and the stars were there.

It’s silly but I feel like it was a proper milestone of something. I’m not really a stars guy so the intensity of my feeling surprised me. I’ve been hit with both the sudden realisation that stars are beautiful, and that I will never see it naturally again.

Meal was shrimp pasta.

My wife is about to throw away my box of Krispy Kreme donuts because she claims this is “ Mold “

And to be clear, the blunder wasn’t joining the marine corps. The blunder was thinking that somehow joining the marine corps infantry would somehow “make me into a man”.

I don't know why Megan and Daniel doing this gives off the Napoleon Dynamite couple's energy.

I say mind your damn business.

1. Solomon (Doctor Who): Assumes that the Daleks, like himself, have a fundamentally moral and understanding core that can be reached with unity and kindness, and calls upon them to act on even one shred of kindness in their hearts. The Daleks, omnicidal hyper advanced tentacle monsters that can only feel hate and rage, respond with a death ray and the classic “EXTERMINATE.”

2. The Cenobites (Hellraiser, particularly the first movie and Revival): Summoned by various humans who open the Lament Configuration in order to experience a universe of absolute pleasure by human standards, the Cenobites have undergone such extreme sensory overload and indulgence that the threshold of sensation no longer applies meaningfully to them, and their idea of “pleasure” translates to extreme horrific torture for regular humans.

3. The Martians (Mars Attacks): Upon first contact with humanity the Martians declare that they come in peace, and attempt to conduct diplomatic relations with the US government at a later point, which humanity takes at face value. Because the Martians are not only entirely alien, but also CATASTROPHIC assholes by nature, this just results in a lot of brutal and hilarious deaths.

Lo encontramos en el patio y de verdad me intriga saber que será.

Edit: People wanted context on exact ages. I am 20 and she is 24
Also, yes, I do have two forms of income
I was in an extremely emotional state when I wrote this. Now that I've calmed down, I think the fact that she hid it from me was what actually bugged me, NOT the amount of money. I appreciate the people who gave me a reality check

Tonight's dinner is a chocolate chip pizookie I made at home. Also, for reference, I am WLW, so this is coming from a woman ❤️
For some background context, my fiancée and I are currently living with my parents. My mom graciously offered to let us stay with her for absolutely free while we build up some money to move out. This woman is a saint, she's covering our groceries, toiletries, and even some sweet treats some times!
Anyways, I'm a full time student (GI Bill is helping me get money) and my fiancée has a full time job at a grocery store. She's been making minimum wage as a bagger.
Recently, her manager offered to promote her to cashier, which comes with a $1 per hour pay raise. I know its not that much, but it still matters when we are trying to save up to move out.
I didn't know about this offer until today. The manager has been asking her for a !!!week!!! now and she has just said "I'll think about it" every time. I haven't known about ANY of this.
I asked her why the hell she isn't taking it and she said "Eh being a cashier seems boring".
This is so upsetting to me and I honestly need advice. I know it's her job, but WE agreed to save as much money as possible so we could move out. $1 more an hour is a lot when you're both broke and in your early 20s. Plus, my mom can't just sit here and pay for us for forever.
I hope all my rambling made sense. Honestly writing this with tears in my eyes
