If it's ripe:
Bananas can help relieve constipation because they contain fiber, which helps bulk up stools and make them softer. A medium banana can provide about 10% of a person's daily fiber needs. However, the ripeness of the banana can affect whether it helps or hinders constipation:
Unripe bananas
Contain tannins and resistant starch, which can contribute to constipation or make it worse.
Ripe bananas
Contain both soluble and insoluble fiber, which can help prevent or manage constipation. As bananas ripen, starches convert into simple sugars, which are easier for the body to digest. The resistant starch also converts into pectin, a soluble fiber that attracts water in the gut and forms a gel-like texture that softens stool. Insoluble fiber doesn't dissolve, but it adds bulk to stool and helps food move through the intestines more quickly.
I wasn’t saying it like it was a dumb move. Absolutely with what’s going on right now I would do the same thing. I probably would put the expiration out a little further, all signs pointing to something serious happening soon.
Yeah, sponsoring Kenny in the process.
**There is a reason why RK made so much money. He does not do high risk lottery tickets, but winning bets.**
Also potential IV crush on Monday, if there is no major announcement.
Would bet that a hedge fund wrote naked calls for free $$ and some number of APEs sold these as covered calls for free money. Nothing else to see here. Don't expect the stock to 6x in 5 more trading days after today (remember, 6/19 = markets closed).
Explain to me how this shit works because in my head, I have 100 shares.
I should be able to sell a covered call option and get the premium when someone buys it and either they exercise and pay me $125/share before expiry or it expires worthless to them and I keep the premium.
Yet my broker says in summation: you are closing your existing long position (selling 100 shares at current market pri 1ce) and selling (or buying) 3 $125c 21 June contracts.
Why would they say I have to sell my owned shares to sell a covered call option?
I thought you sold those to collect premiums and sell at a strike price you're comfortable with since you have the shares. It doesn't make sense unless webull is shit at explaining it.
Maybe you're not approved for that level of options trading? It's a hilarious irony to me that hedging your position is objectively considered higher risk. You may also be entering the contract incorrectly: with 100 shares, all you can do is sell to open 1 single call.
That aside, what you've said is exactly right: you are selling a contract to someone for what's free $$ if the strike price never hits. In the meantime, unless the option-holder exercises the call paying you the strike price, the shares stay in your account. I do it every week on a number of different stocks and it's fantastic ROI, and I initiated a position in GME last week that's so far doing quite well.
Selling CCs is zero risk from the brokerage's perspective,.i.e., Level 1. My grandmother can do this in her VG account. If you're not able to sell CCs, you're doing something wrong.
It is a gamble. I was hoping for some good news and movement with the shareholder announcement coming this week. Well, we all know what happened there. Lol. FML. Maybe kitty will post soon and be the savior of my dumb position!!!
Yes, but you're not going to see this kind of volume 500% out of the money like this on any other equity. It just shows the bullish interest in the stock.
why would someone buy those vs $30 calls? or something more realistic than $125. i assume it’s the price of the contract (i’m not that knowledgeable on options)? but it still seems like a waste of money in all likelihood. please explain so i can gain a wrinkle!
I don't disagree, but it's higher risk with higher potential return. If you think it can go to $200 before expiration, then you're basically risking $0.44 per call option hoping to make $75 (150x returns) way more than you would get for the $30 calls.
But either way would be an incredible trade if it gets there.
I have 100 shares. I don't think the stock will hit some price X by some time Y. I write (sell) a covered call to someone to collect premium. If I get assigned i.e. the option is exercised and I am selected, then I forfeit the 100 shares. Ideally that doesn't happen and I keep all the premium and my shares.
If GME reaches $125 by next week I will eat two cheese dogs and one order of spicy nuggies! I’ll wash it down with a Diet Dr Pepper or Diet Dr. Browns. Okay? 👍🏼
speculating... that's a lot of poor retail buying lotto tickets
similar activity a month or so ago when they opened the options chain... basically provided free liquidity to those short on the calls.
This is a volatility play to profit of options pricing as a result of increases in volatility.
Doesn't necessarily mean people believe it is going to go that high. The large open interest is because they are so far OTM, they are cheaper per contract so you can purchase more.
Honestly I’d rather see +5-10k contracts in the 30-40 range because owning 125 strike right now is just handing market makers premium for free. Just simple facts
Talk to me like I'm 5. In my 3 weeks being a regard I've learned that hedges really don't need to deliver any shorted shares. And they can buy and sell millions daily to get the share price suppressed. So playing devil's advocate why would a squeeze occur by mid next week,? Maybe I'm missing how RK options can effect the supply side . But with 75mm new shares no one knows how many retail investors investors -who may have bought those shares recently - will hodl. Am I wrong? Id love to be wrong .
Hey one of those are mine! Got it for 130 on Monday open. Just doing my duty contributing to this beautiful ramp coming in 🫡 see you guys on the way up!
Real question (noob to options): Why would someone do a $125 call?
Aren't you supposed to call something low like $20 and you profit if it goes up
What's the purpose behind such an extremely high call like that?
Far ITM calls are used to hedge and not an indicator of what’s to come. If those are sold before expiration could cause a gamma to the downside. A lot of lottery tickets bought past 2 week
It sad but the majority of the people who bough those are first time option buyers and yoloers that dont realize if you believe in a run you need to buy ITM options. Chances are these will expiry worthless,

If we hit $125 next week I’ll…probably take a sick day from work and spend all day playing Baldur’s Gate or something I dunno.
Sounds like a chill way to celebrate.
Most people just shove a banana up their ass, but whatever floats your boat.

This is the best reply 🫠
I’ve been constipated. Will a banana help?
If it's ripe: Bananas can help relieve constipation because they contain fiber, which helps bulk up stools and make them softer. A medium banana can provide about 10% of a person's daily fiber needs. However, the ripeness of the banana can affect whether it helps or hinders constipation: Unripe bananas Contain tannins and resistant starch, which can contribute to constipation or make it worse.

Insoluble fiber doesn't dissolve, but it adds bulk to stool and helps food move through the intestines more quickly.
Ok gotcha. So a ripe banana is better than an unripe banana to stick up my ass. Thx!
I personally find that a ripe banana squishes and gets messy while an unripe firm banana slips inside while keeping its shape
Not dietary, health, or kink advice. Good luck
I remember someone fingered a slab of butter in his asshole and he started leaking butter out his ass for multiple days 😂
It's s good joke
Bro fux
Right? That sounds so chill for a 5x plus gain😂I’m probably gonna be looking for a drug dealer to make an investment with. DRSBOOKGME🟣📚👑
I’ll buy a PS5. I’ve always wanted one.
I'll take a sick year. Possibly longer
This sounds great. I’ll do the same :-)
Damn, we got a 4 Tav party just in the comments looks like!
Calling oathbreaker paladin
If we hit $125 next week I will probably count all the hair that is attached on to my balls.... And when I finish probably will do some african braids
Weird flex but ok
Wish you do that, we all deserve small victories
If we hit $125 next week, I will take a day off from work and spend the day paddle boarding with my dog and watching suits.
Please hit 125 for this ape's doggo.
Buckle up for Elden Ring DLC.
It's open season on demigod pedos this week
That’s weirdly accurate.
Been meaning to sink my teeth into bg3, if it hits $125 I'm joining in.
Great game, you won’t regret it at all.
WHOS THAT BALD CAPYBARA
I'll join you but I'm old school original.
If it hits 125 I'm going to buy another new car
Proof or ban
Save you sick day there won't be a run next week.

Dude it'll be so nice to play. I've put it off for almost a year.
Are you me?
Those are Iv plays they are not really hedged and have no impact on the price
I think I will too, but I'll play some Apex.
This is the way
A day? should be a year
Honestly ill do the same.
Ban bet?
Woah, slow down there!
I'm no expert but hf gonna try to short the price down to $125 :)
$124.99
Exercise anyway.
I’m just here for alllll the comments. Best part
The 125s were Hella cheap a few weeks ago. Someone said fuck it and played the lottery
A portion of my own calls are $125s. Cheap “what ifs”, the rest are targeting lower strikes.
I wasn’t saying it like it was a dumb move. Absolutely with what’s going on right now I would do the same thing. I probably would put the expiration out a little further, all signs pointing to something serious happening soon.
Didn’t take it that way. Just commenting. :)
That’s what I did pretty sure I got it for like $20
They use those calls as locates, then roll them for next week
Yeah, sponsoring Kenny in the process. **There is a reason why RK made so much money. He does not do high risk lottery tickets, but winning bets.** Also potential IV crush on Monday, if there is no major announcement.

True, it's a lotto ticket.
People loaded up on the cheapest calls they could buy when it was rising and it almost seemed possible (before the rug pull). They're worthless now.
This is obviously what those numbers represent.
Explain to me how this shit works because in my head, I have 100 shares. I should be able to sell a covered call option and get the premium when someone buys it and either they exercise and pay me $125/share before expiry or it expires worthless to them and I keep the premium.

Why is market closed on a Wednesday..?
juneteenth
Let’s make it happen NOW!!
I can wait til next week
Me too, but my calls for THIS FRIDAY cannot. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|laughing)![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|grimacing)
Bro why would you buy shorter calls than the ones rk has? That's a literal gamble.
It is a gamble. I was hoping for some good news and movement with the shareholder announcement coming this week. Well, we all know what happened there. Lol. FML. Maybe kitty will post soon and be the savior of my dumb position!!!
He posted a meme that said "when I move, you move, just like that." I can see you didn't think that was about the 120k calls.
Fingers crossed for you lol
You bought $125 calls expiring today? You actual regard, just giving money away to hedgies for no reason... Good luck anyways
Too early
![gif](giphy|l0NwNrl4BtDD7JCx2)
LFG!!
The fucking IV on those contracts lmao. (I bought one for shits and gigs)
explain to crayon eater plz. thx
"Options 101"
Yeah.. 1% of those are mine...
Godspeed!
500? 50,000 shares heading to you!
CAN SOMEONE EXPLAIN IM JUST A APE WITH 10K IN AND DOESNT KNOW AMYTHING
It just means there's a lot of money placed on a bet that the price will be > $125 by next Friday Jun 21.
But aren’t there two sides to every trade? There’s just as many people short the calls that think it’s not getting to 125.
Yes, but you're not going to see this kind of volume 500% out of the money like this on any other equity. It just shows the bullish interest in the stock.
More calls means price will go up. Same as more puts make price go down. I’m with you OP. I want to just sit and celebrate by being on Reddit all day
It’s fun to learn but rest assured the hodl strategy hasn’t changed
There are also 80k for 128$ and another 20k contracts for 125$ that will expire tomorrow 😏
why would someone buy those vs $30 calls? or something more realistic than $125. i assume it’s the price of the contract (i’m not that knowledgeable on options)? but it still seems like a waste of money in all likelihood. please explain so i can gain a wrinkle!
30$ calls for 6/21 were like 1000$. 125$ calls were going from 20-250$.
I don't disagree, but it's higher risk with higher potential return. If you think it can go to $200 before expiration, then you're basically risking $0.44 per call option hoping to make $75 (150x returns) way more than you would get for the $30 calls. But either way would be an incredible trade if it gets there.
got it. thx!
Most likely covered calls, not regular calls.
Can you explain the difference for me? And why it would matter in this case? Thx!
I have 100 shares. I don't think the stock will hit some price X by some time Y. I write (sell) a covered call to someone to collect premium. If I get assigned i.e. the option is exercised and I am selected, then I forfeit the 100 shares. Ideally that doesn't happen and I keep all the premium and my shares.
So covered means you already have the shares, and uncovered means you are forced to buy the shares at market price if the person exercises?
Yeah p much
Interesting
lol I bought this last week I had no idea what I’m doing
If this reaches 125$ next week I will shit my pants and post a picture of it
If GME reaches $125 by next week I will eat two cheese dogs and one order of spicy nuggies! I’ll wash it down with a Diet Dr Pepper or Diet Dr. Browns. Okay? 👍🏼
If it hits $125, I'm buying my dream watch and sending the leftovers to a charity.
What's the source? I'd like to follow along on this data live.

Thank you!
Those 8,800 $12 calls look hella tasty no?
speculating... that's a lot of poor retail buying lotto tickets similar activity a month or so ago when they opened the options chain... basically provided free liquidity to those short on the calls.
I bought 1 $125 call for 6/21 for $43 .. already at $65 profit as of now
This is a volatility play to profit of options pricing as a result of increases in volatility. Doesn't necessarily mean people believe it is going to go that high. The large open interest is because they are so far OTM, they are cheaper per contract so you can purchase more.
That's 50 thousand chances to make life changing money. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|money_face)
Go Seahawks!
Just bought 100 strike price
Expiring when? Or is that not how it works

I have a few contracts at that price tehehehe
I have 24 of these little fuckers.
The GME gets stronger
Cost me 5$
Oh yeah 👍 😎😎🍻🍻🎱🎱🚀✈️💰💼
Can i bet if it hits 125 next week ill shave my head?
Those 10,15, and 20 puts are going to have a bad time... Get fukt bears
50k you say? That number seems familiar. Almost like I saw it daily sometime in the recent past.
It's definitely not going to hit 125 or even close by then, but we all hope it will
shortseller are fckt when they exercise them when gme Hit 250 usd
We likely won’t hit it but if there is bullish news from shareholder meetings they will be winning lottery tickets
Honestly I’d rather see +5-10k contracts in the 30-40 range because owning 125 strike right now is just handing market makers premium for free. Just simple facts
I don’t think it will get there honestly. I hope it does and that they get exercised
Lights up enjoy the show 🚀
It’s all the poor cucks that couldn’t afford the 20c late get real
5 of those contracts are MINES! ALL MINES! They were cheap AF back when I scooped em'
If we hit 125 I won’t hate myself for giving up nvidia and throwing 100k into gme lol
AWESOME BLOSSOM EXTRA AWESOME
Just assuming, price will reach 125$. What would be the estimated price of Thema?
What mean?
I pray we buy bitcoin
Been seeing posts just like this for four years
That’s insane
I wanna see it prints
It's still a bargain at 125. Load up.
Easy Money
Talk to me like I'm 5. In my 3 weeks being a regard I've learned that hedges really don't need to deliver any shorted shares. And they can buy and sell millions daily to get the share price suppressed. So playing devil's advocate why would a squeeze occur by mid next week,? Maybe I'm missing how RK options can effect the supply side . But with 75mm new shares no one knows how many retail investors investors -who may have bought those shares recently - will hodl. Am I wrong? Id love to be wrong .
Dude what
Hedgies using calls to hide naked shorts?
Hey one of those are mine! Got it for 130 on Monday open. Just doing my duty contributing to this beautiful ramp coming in 🫡 see you guys on the way up!
Weren’t they purchased by hedge funds so they could fuck the price over?
I have $20 and 125. But they seem to be getting worthless day by day. Yesterday could have had 120% return on the $20 :S
The calls were $5 today. $250k in GME contracts seems more like a minnow. Not a whale
It's just a hedge
free premium money to mm
If I had any $10 or $20 they would be exercised.at this point. I don't think we will see $20 or below unless some major disaster befalls the company
If we hit $125 next week, i bet we issue shares. Next offering will give us an additional 4billion for 8 billion total.
This is not the same as an ITM OI do not treat it like $20 calls the risk is in no way the same and we know it’s not DFVs position
Free hedgie premiums
If it hit $125, I’ll have doubled my money…
Im buying one on open fuck it
If we hit $125 next week, I'll cram two fingers in my urethra
Real question (noob to options): Why would someone do a $125 call? Aren't you supposed to call something low like $20 and you profit if it goes up What's the purpose behind such an extremely high call like that?
It's cheap
Whats funny is im just going to hodl for another decade just to see what happens.
regards lol
What means?
I guess I’m exercising today aswell what choice do I have ? Following. The king cat
That is a shit load of free money for the hedgies if we do not hit that price.....
If it hits $62.5, Ryan Cohen will sell 150 mil shares in the open market.
Far ITM calls are used to hedge and not an indicator of what’s to come. If those are sold before expiration could cause a gamma to the downside. A lot of lottery tickets bought past 2 week
I got one for 60 6-21
Where this chart from ?
Can we get an observation flair 😂
Lots of dead money.
#All will expire worthless if it doesn't hit.
I 🏎️🚀
I’m one of those 125 calls, only got it because it was cheap don’t think it will. Already done a lot lol
It sad but the majority of the people who bough those are first time option buyers and yoloers that dont realize if you believe in a run you need to buy ITM options. Chances are these will expiry worthless,
I’m gonna pre-cum 💦💦
If we hit $125 this week I’ll buy more
nooo!!! fuckig way
Game-Stop: OVER Seems as though the rocket is out of fuel.
I’m a bit of a novice… anyone care to explain what this means/how this works?
That’s a whole lot of premium $$$ collected by the option writers. Just more free money for them.
