Sm1sm : Costco might dip and bounce back after earning. Saw it in past couple of times.

ToTheGalaxy : you are holding for long term (3 years above) or just short term ?

152398743 OP ToTheGalaxy : reasonably long term, however I want to maximise the delta in price as stocks hit by the correction recover.
e.g. I'll hold Palantir until it either sits stable for a while, or loses more than 3% sustained over a few days. Also depends on the news cycle. I'm fairly new to trading for real, but have done a lot of "paper trading" with good results. but it's different when it's virtual money. I think without the fear of loss, you're more inclined to take the right positions despite the downside risk, which is always overblown.
I don't do shorts, and options are still a bit advanced for me to trade with real money.
Thanks for asking

Solomon Kane Inc : Sell covered calls.

152398743 OP Solomon Kane Inc : Looks like I'll be spending some time learning about options. Thanks for the advice and taking the time to comment. It is sincerely appreciated.

Moomoo Buddy : Dear customer, regarding your inquiry about the stock price, it is because of the company's dividend, because today is VNOM's ex-dividend day, which will affect the stock price, Have a good day!

Salmon Klein OP Moomoo Buddy : what do you mean? the whole chart has changed because of that?

Moomoo Buddy Salmon Klein OP : Dear customer, The summary data of the historical time frame results from the data after adjustment(Adjust Forward). If the stock has undergone ex-rights (like dividend payment, split or reverse split), the historical price will be different from the actual transaction price at that time. Have a nice day!

Salmon Klein OP Moomoo Buddy : perhaps i didn't explain correctly. aparently my order was at 36.5, but today appears at 37.1. i am magically down by 2%. i don't think this is because of stock dividend, must be an error in your site @Popular on moomoo
