Selling covered calls puts a cap on your upside and leaves no downside protection. You're stuck holding onto the stock UNLESS it goes up, which is typically the opposite of what an investor wants.

Can combine that with buying puts to protect the downside, with the premiums for the calls sold funding the puts bought.

I am yet to find the person who lost money taking a small profit. That being said, it does pay a dividend, so you get paid to hold it. You could explore selling covered calls.

I understand that, though I guess my primary question is what's the thoughts on the stock price right now? Ie. I could've asked this question at $45 and you can advise the same - never hurts to take profits, but I'm not looking to take profits until the stock is considered overpriced (at least by some reasonable people). Otherwise I don't mind holding on for a longer ride.

Then you have no upside from the stock appreciation and no profit from the calls you sold. You may as well just sell the stock and put the capital to better use.

The question is what would YOU consider overpriced?

I sell calls on stocks that I own where I think that the combination of the premium collected and appreciation over the price I paid is an excellent return. Do I lose out sometimes by missing some additional appreciation? Yes. Did I realize my investment objective with the stock? Mostly yes (unless I bought it for the dividend, but then the locked-in appreciation should cover that for a while, and another opportunity will come down the road to deploy the cash). Sometimes I will just sell calls against a portion of my position, just to generate some extra income.

I'm a value investor, but I can price in growth. What I call overpriced is if the price already factors in the bullish case and still has an expensive P/E. Eg. if a stock is at 1000 P/E, and I'm bullish and believe earnings will grow 10x which would bring it to 100 P/E, I would say it's expensive. I haven't had time to follow the streaming industry or VIAC, so not sure where the bullish case would price it at.

Re: calls, I've never used calls so it's above my pay grade to do it right. I would probably just sell a portion of the shares.

Sounds like a new age tech ETF on steroids. So if you are into investing in Tech, Trendy, and highly speculative companies that have high potential yield, then this is a good option for you.

My main questions are if their AI system that collects data based on the "buzz" can be manipulated by bots or fake news surrounding various stocks which would give their system false signals. Also, how would it distinguish between a real long term demand versus a pump and dump? Can their ETF also engage in pump and dumps based on the sentiment?

TSLA and NIO at record lows. Anyone buying the dip? Which one do you prefer? No real bad news on non of them, more of a selling hype.

Do you need bad news in order to get out of TSLA?

Maybe it's due to SpaceX exploding after successful landing.

Buying anything now especially these huge leaders is a shot in the dark. Most traders I follow didn’t trade anything the past week or short only. I’d wait for some positive sentiment

Record lows?! What kind of nonsense. It's 430% higher than the price it was a year ago.

Market sentiment seems to be souring....

On a bright note, you can balance your equity portfolio with a position in GME. Up today 6.5%.  :P
