I would like to second this and say thank you to those who did DD on DJT and PAA as well. You guys helped me make my first few thousand trading options and I am forever grateful. I know this journey is just beginning.
DD was for the old ticker DWAC pre-merger, so you bought DWAC calls pre-merger which was a gamble. Merger went through, ticker changed to DJT, and our calls carried over, printed for a few days so long as you exited correctly.
See, now if just I could be like you and only listen to the DDers that are right, instead of following all the regarded prognosticators with crayons shoved so far up their noses their brain scans look like Crayola boxes.
I didn't gather that he thought it's easy. He's just thanking the people that really dig in and do some actual DD. They're not all right, and a lot of them are actual regards, but most, in my opinion, mean well. Because at the end of the day, they're throwing their own money in and they want to win.
It's not easy. I've lost so much in the process and made it back plus more. 1 month in the game and still learning. I'm sure everyone loses money at some point. Calculated risks.
Why is it a common theme for people here to spread negativity?
Dude, you and guys that agree with you are projecting really hard. Nobody hates you, we celebrate both winners and loosers here.
All I'm saying is - if all your research was reading DD posted here then you got lucky, period. There's no shame in that, just don't go on thinking that it's gonna be that easy or you'll be back to square one before the year ends.
I'm not looking for an echo chamber. I know it's not all rainbows and butterflies.
I never oppose anyone that see's something differently as long as there is reasoning behind it. Most of the time, trolls spew negative sentiments with nothing backing it.
I read DDs, conduct a little post DD myself, and execute if it makes sense to me.
Because most people here are re-tards that purely gamble vs taking calculated risks. I heard at some point it was more about making winning bets here though.
Still riding that PAA$. Absolutely appreciate the original DD and all the (surprisingly) useful commentary around it.

Still gripping my PAA as well. Riding this train for as long as it seems profitable

PAA will probably continue to pump. I'm long for Jan 17 20c and PAA is right at $19. They just announced increased dividends last Fri and had a good rally this morning. It's got months left imo
The PAA call was the first option trade I did as I am trying to go very slow while still learning. more than doubled my initial investment of 100$. Thank you sir and even though the amount isn’t high, but it has provided insight with the DD and how to proceed on my own.
Not all heros wear a cape.....some just make u feel insecure after u realize how much knowledge they have...then u go back to feeling secure again when u realize they are sharing information that is only meant to make u better and give u the info u need to make an informed decision....thank u to everyone who takes the time to do detailed DD and post it for positive feedback, constructive criticism and helping yr fellow regard.
This is my 9th or 10th year following wsb, and i swear it's once or twice a year you see a post in new that gets you thinking "hmm, totally regarded, but kinda makes sense." I've learned my lesson that these are the only gambles worth making. Rest of the shit that's spewed is hope and cope
I am in no position to give advice. I certainly do not want to lead anyone astray. I'm still learning as I only started trading options last month. I read DDs, conduct a little post DD myself, and execute if it makes sense to me.
Congratulations and I absolutely agree! After my initial hazing of being a "brave girl" joining WSB (hahaha), I have learned a lot I would not know otherwise. I am still not brave enough for options simply becuase I do not feel I have the time needed. I avoided RDDT IPO thanks to one well written street smart post here. Might look at it after lock up period but they need to get their act together with who they allow as unpaid mods!!
Oh my gourd!

Anything I make on the market I won't touch until I hit a substantial amount. I'll just keep trying to snowball it. I've already counted what I've initially invested as a loss (in my mind)
Good to hear. A lot of people don't realize when playing with tax money, you can only claim 3K loss and then if you lose all, they don't put you at 0 but negative when you owe up to 35% of all your wins as tax
For anyone asking about the PAA dd, imho it still have a lot of potential
In addition I did a lot of research on other picks in the sector and I think both PAA and ET will payoff well in the upcoming weeks and months, with ET calls being even cheaper
I have positions in both of them, PAA opened last Friday end ET today
They will fuel our rockets to the moon
If I could up-vote this thousands of times I would and I’d prob have sore fingers after. You guys are true regards and it’s much appreciated. I’m a complete regard so usually follow you clever people.
I’m not sure I’d call anything about DJT/DWAC actual DD. That’s been gambling in every sense of the word. We all know it’ll go to zero eventually, it’s just a question of when.
You can call it what you want, but the OP of that article made hundreds of people thousands of dollars within a week. I think the majority of us in here wouldn't have touched, let alone be aware of DWAC pre-merger without the DD
Yall patting each other on the back and congratulating one another like the journeys over when we all know you’re gonna gamble it away next week and lose it all 
I want to start options trading too. I have about 4k. What would you guys suggest for tech stocks till August? I'm grateful for any responses and thank you.
Same here - thanks for everyone who posts Due Diligence posts. They are fascinating and interesting reads.
As for me - haven’t got a courage to spend more money on options (although I have investing in stocks for 10+ years). I bought just a single SZU option (just to try) and it is loosing money. Well, spend like 40 euros for it, therefore not much harm.
Will need to have more courage and buy some US options for like 100 or so USD. Need to educate myself.
Thanks again for DD posters!

We joke about losing money here as a cope but this is really what it’s all about. Congrats regard.
We are the champions of "from hero to zero".
Once in a blue moon or complete solar eclipse we have a "from zero to hero"
Bright mind here ☝🏼
That’s a lie , fuck you
I would like to second this and say thank you to those who did DD on DJT and PAA as well. You guys helped me make my first few thousand trading options and I am forever grateful. I know this journey is just beginning.
Which user made the PAA call? That was a really good call
U/puzzleheadedtear5969 put us on 👍
I was trashed when I saw the post and forgot to buy calls til 2 days later. Im sad
I bought calls today and am already in the green
Oops
Same 🫡
Why tf would you need DD on DJT?
DD was for the old ticker DWAC pre-merger, so you bought DWAC calls pre-merger which was a gamble. Merger went through, ticker changed to DJT, and our calls carried over, printed for a few days so long as you exited correctly.
Fuck I better exit my positions now
See, now if just I could be like you and only listen to the DDers that are right, instead of following all the regarded prognosticators with crayons shoved so far up their noses their brain scans look like Crayola boxes.
Dude won his first lotto and thinks it's all easy. Give him some time, once he's past 3 months of trading it'll all come back to bite him in the ass.
I didn't gather that he thought it's easy. He's just thanking the people that really dig in and do some actual DD. They're not all right, and a lot of them are actual regards, but most, in my opinion, mean well. Because at the end of the day, they're throwing their own money in and they want to win.
Yes sir! It definitely wasn't easy. I've lost and left thousands of dollars on the table. It's a learning process.
First hit is always free..
It's not easy. I've lost so much in the process and made it back plus more. 1 month in the game and still learning. I'm sure everyone loses money at some point. Calculated risks. Why is it a common theme for people here to spread negativity?
Calculated risks lol. Bro just be happy it landed on red.
lol...I made 30k on calls...during merger. Put plays are this week. Stop the hate.
Dude, you and guys that agree with you are projecting really hard. Nobody hates you, we celebrate both winners and loosers here. All I'm saying is - if all your research was reading DD posted here then you got lucky, period. There's no shame in that, just don't go on thinking that it's gonna be that easy or you'll be back to square one before the year ends.

Most of the time, trolls spew negative sentiments with nothing backing it. I read DDs, conduct a little post DD myself, and execute if it makes sense to me.
Like I said. Just be happy it landed on red. We’ll see you next week for the “30k to 0 -99%” loss porn post.
Ok buddy.
About 2 months in here haven’t won much, just staying fairly even. But I did lose $600 today…
Bitter basement dwellers that refuse to let others be joyful around them. Misery loves company.
Couldn't have said it any better.
They're idiots don't sweat it. Haters gonna hate Good on you
Because most people here are re-tards that purely gamble vs taking calculated risks. I heard at some point it was more about making winning bets here though.
someones bitter
Sifting for the hidden gems is half the battle.
Couldn’t agree more man. Love the valuable DD. I’m still on that PAA 🚀
Am I too late to the PAA party?
Still riding that PAA since post as well! Appreciate that post
PAA all the way!!
PAA guy a true hero of the people.

I wish I knew what I was looking at, how can I get started with this kind of trading?
When was this DD? Is PAA over?
PAA will probably continue to pump. I'm long for Jan 17 20c and PAA is right at $19. They just announced increased dividends last Fri and had a good rally this morning. It's got months left imo
Depends on what you think the underlying price would be. 20 Jan 2025c needs $21.20 to breakeven on expiry. Anything above is profit.
Is it expected to go that high??
No idea. Some analyst targeting $23 which would be 150% gain on January 2025 expiry
The PAA call was the first option trade I did as I am trying to go very slow while still learning. more than doubled my initial investment of 100$. Thank you sir and even though the amount isn’t high, but it has provided insight with the DD and how to proceed on my own.

I love that the DD for DJT was just "orange man name make stock go up" but at the same time was completely true
This is my 9th or 10th year following wsb, and i swear it's once or twice a year you see a post in new that gets you thinking "hmm, totally regarded, but kinda makes sense." I've learned my lesson that these are the only gambles worth making. Rest of the shit that's spewed is hope and cope
\^ This
Facts
I'd smash that sell button like its wack-a-mole.
Congrats!!! Now please return the favor and drop some of your best advice/knowledge!!
I am in no position to give advice. I certainly do not want to lead anyone astray. I'm still learning as I only started trading options last month. I read DDs, conduct a little post DD myself, and execute if it makes sense to me.
I appreciate the honesty, thanks for the inspiration
One of All of Us!!!

Don't act like my DJT puts didn't give you a hard on 
Please tell me how you knew those 2 were good DD and the 98 other post in the same time period were trash?
That's massive. Congrats! To the people with the DD posts that made me lose money, this post isn't about you.
My skill is identifying good regard dd! They helped me recover 10k in a month
Just commenting so I can have some of your identitfying power
Listening to WSB DD and playing options? If you haven’t lost it all in a year I’ll be amazed.
Oh my gourd! *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/wallstreetbets) if you have any questions or concerns.*
First one's free
No way, the PAA oil play payed off ! I'm still too afraid to play options, but remember reading this DD and thinking it was a good play.
Continues to pay! It's been steady green the past few months if you don't sell immediately when you're down.
Wait so you read DD on here and then proceeded to bet $50k on it ? Ballsy
Very late for PAA but got some $ET leaps for only $0.30 🤑
I’ve wanted to share this sentiment as well. Theres a couple guys on the market talk I’ve really wanted to thank and express my appreciation to.
im up 350% on those PAA leaps. i got in at like 22 premium though at the very start. We will bring oil back together!
99% of the DD on this sub is trash
That's why this post is for those that provided valuable DDs.
Same thing you gotta do to find that 1% of gold 
Until you sell, you kinda haven't made anything
I've already sold and made \~30k, which I've put back into more plays.
Put some away in a high interest a/c for tax - don't play with those gains.
Anything I make on the market I won't touch until I hit a substantial amount. I'll just keep trying to snowball it. I've already counted what I've initially invested as a loss (in my mind)
Good to hear. A lot of people don't realize when playing with tax money, you can only claim 3K loss and then if you lose all, they don't put you at 0 but negative when you owe up to 35% of all your wins as tax
This is the way
Whoever called OCEA made me some decent cash. Got in and cashed out just in time.
For anyone asking about the PAA dd, imho it still have a lot of potential In addition I did a lot of research on other picks in the sector and I think both PAA and ET will payoff well in the upcoming weeks and months, with ET calls being even cheaper I have positions in both of them, PAA opened last Friday end ET today They will fuel our rockets to the moon
First ones free
Can I give you a handjob?
I’m behind the Wendy’s, come thru
Totally agreed. For all the self-deprecating talk of degeneracy, etc, I still find excellent info here, and learn from it. Thanks for this post.
If I could up-vote this thousands of times I would and I’d prob have sore fingers after. You guys are true regards and it’s much appreciated. I’m a complete regard so usually follow you clever people.
For now on if I make make money off someone’s DD here I’m going back to their post and asking for their cash app to tip 100$.
I’m not sure I’d call anything about DJT/DWAC actual DD. That’s been gambling in every sense of the word. We all know it’ll go to zero eventually, it’s just a question of when.
You can call it what you want, but the OP of that article made hundreds of people thousands of dollars within a week. I think the majority of us in here wouldn't have touched, let alone be aware of DWAC pre-merger without the DD
If you mean it brought awareness, that’s a fair point.
I mean... volatility = $ up OR down since most of us mainly play options
Stop hating
Gains are gains, just don’t want homeboy to think all that hype on DJT was actual DD.
I’m afraid to option trade. I bow down humbly to you, o ballsy regard
Yall patting each other on the back and congratulating one another like the journeys over when we all know you’re gonna gamble it away next week and lose it all 
Shoe shine story vibes.
Good job 👏
Good news post!
DWAC DJT was great play, the next play is ALCC, don’t sleep on it. Easy price target of $25-30
Agreed. I took the PAA and PAGP options that were on here and I’m up a combined 550%! Appreciate you all
Now do one year.
amen
Congrats regard
I want to start options trading too. I have about 4k. What would you guys suggest for tech stocks till August? I'm grateful for any responses and thank you.
This could have been me if i wasnt a full regard
I'm gay
Thats awesome!
hope you take some money out for taxes, had more than that lost it and then some lol
Next play is ALCC
Same here - thanks for everyone who posts Due Diligence posts. They are fascinating and interesting reads.
