Technical

Obviously I don't think MTBMB is as good as the MMLP from a critical standpoint but the rapping on Em's two or three newest projects (Side A, B, and Kamikaze) was just amazing and they were very enjoyable to me.

In 2013 and 2017, my grandma called me to ask me "what bitcoin is" at the peak of bitcoin's bull run. Both times after she called, crypto crashed. It's my best technical indicator.

Don't worry, she didn't call me yet. The crypto bull run will continue.

I’m a self taught front end focused dev (no degree or any sort), and my portfolio has been able to land me a few callbacks from employers.

unfortunately, I’ve failed the technical aspect of the last few interviews.

I’ve received questions like “is sass case sensitive? true or false”. the question itself is so easy, and i’ve built pretty complex projects, I’ve just never really thought about whether it’s actually case sensitive..

to summarize, I feel like garbage (I’m not looking for sympathy of any sort) after the technical interviews.. I’m wondering if this is a normal way to feel, when applying for your first role

update below:

I did not expect this post to blow up the way it did, I simply needed to let off some post interview steam and make sure I wasn’t alone. The interview made me feel as if I was very inadequate as a dev due to the pop quiz kind of questions, so for those of you who took the time to respond I genuinely appreciate every one of you. It’s made me feel much better about myself and future as a dev. Sorry for not getting back to everyone, but I genuinely can’t thank you guys enough.. month made for sure!

I was browsing the GME options this morning just for fun. There are some that have an IV of 700%. Now I know we aren’t the best with numbers, so let me illustrate it for you what this means: a normal meme stock will have options with IV around 200%, this is basically like 2x 4 for 4$ tendy meal from Wendy’s. GME, has the equivalent of 7x 4 for 4$s. Extrapolating the data, we can easily see how GME is 28X tendies. When multiplied times 4 gives us a price target of $112 per share.

Tldr: Keep holding we ain’t there yet.

For real tho, there is gonna be more posts about IV crush than we have ever seen before. This is insane.

So a lot has happened with the shares.

The wedge looks like it has broken down, but it could easily be just an extension of a wedge. The point is that we don't have a full breakdown unless we spend considerable time below 25, then I could maybe see things fall back down to 20. I think it is far more likely we just remain in this extended consolidation phase of 25-30 until we get some sort of a catalyst or a short squeeze.

But this is not the point of the post today. Today I am here to convince you why a cost basis of 20 or 25 doesn't matter for PLTR. You are buying the company at around 40-50x 2020E sales, Which seems quite high (not as much compared to SNOW and some other big data plays) but still. So why bother with PLTR?

Before I proceed, I know most people who are here can't read, and I am going to be dropping a gigantic wall of text which I expect all maybe two of your guys to read, so here is the short form 🚀 🚀 🚀

This was the primer I had written on Information Technology back in 2017

https://etherealvalue.wordpress.com/2017/02/25/technology-primer/

I started by looking at the S&P500 since the early 1900s to understand if there was a mental model I could use to outperform the index. What I found was that starting in the late 1800s, most of the companies that ended up creating enormous shareholder value started as technology companies. Dupont was a technology company in the 1800s, Edison Electric was a technology company in the 1900s, GM was a technology company in the 1920s. If one looks at the market capitalization of companies today, many of the largest are today’s technology companies: Google, Apple, Amazon, Microsoft have market capitalizations which eclipse many old traditional industries.

There is clearly something about technology companies that allows them to generate enormous shareholder value and create wealth for society, after all, if the stock index was still dominated by the likes of American Cotton Oil and American Sugar Refining like in the 1900s, we would all be living in a different and much poorer world. The challenge with investing in technology companies is that for every Edison Electric there is a Zenith Radio. for every IBM there is a Sinclaire Rearch and for every Apple there is a Blackberry. There ha

> "Quant trading is based on technical analysis".

I've seen this stated a lot on Reddit. I understand why somebody might think this, but it is wrong. So I'm here to explain what most quant funds actually do. I hope you find it as interesting as I do.

Multifactor models

This is the bread-and-butter for quant funds. AQR has pioneered this space the most.

Multifactor models are models designed to extract cross-sectional risk premia in markets. Put simply you look at all the stocks in a market. Rank them based on some metric(s). Long the top decile. Short the bottom decile. If that market-neutral portfolio outperforms on a consistent basis then well done! You have found a risk premium.

Classical and well known risk premia include:

• Momentum - stocks that moon continue to moon.
• Size - small caps tend to outperform large caps.
• Value - high-value stocks tend to outperform low-value stocks.
• Mean Reversion - some securities are stationary e.g. volatility.
• Quality - quality stocks tend to outperform low quality stocks.
• Low Volatility - low vol stocks tend to outperform on a risk-adjusted basis.
• Aggressiveness - conservative companies tend to outperform aggressive companies.

Some of these factors used to work but no longer do because the mere fact that so many quant funds discovered them caused the alpha in them to decay. Most quants I know are looking into more alternative factors using machine learning based on sentiment, web-traffic, social media mentions, etc. I'll elaborate further down.

Book Recommendation: Quantitative Equity Portfolio Management by Ludwig B Chincarini

Writing and Pricing Derivatives

This is another bread-and-butter for quant funds. It used to be a lot bigger before 2008 when the street had more appetite for exotics. But it's still good business. It was pioneered by quants like Ed Thorpe. You should definitely read his book the man was friends with Claude Shannon ffs - A Man For All Markets by Edward O. Thorp.

Writing and pricing derivatives involves six easy steps.

1. Create a model that can output synthetic prices and has parameters you can tune.
2. Fit the model to a stock or portfolio such that it produces synthetic prices that have the same statistical characteristics of the underlying stock or portfolio.
3. Sample tens of thousands

Told you 25 was the bottom

https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/kdrvdm/pltr_technical_analysis_from_a_professional/

We are going to 40-45, mid January. Originally was targeting beginning of the year because we looked like we were moving 50% faster than the run-up of NIO and about 100% faster than TSLA , now it looks like the moves are about the same as NIO, so a target of 40-45 to late January is a safer bet. This is why I told you guys to use 1/15 and 5/21 calls, because you can roll those with less theta decay.

https://preview.redd.it/9ayjurt9xr661.png?width=645&format=png&auto=webp&s=aabc196dfa12af7353fb341180c3630f7123f8d7

I rolled half of my 1/15 30 strikes to now 2/19 30 strikes with a slight hit (10% off purchase price) and increased the 2/19 30 strike position by 100%. Basically increased total option positions by 50% to now 60k. Holding about 130k in shares.

I expect us to be pinned around 27-28 before Christmas, then we'll have another run up to 31-33 when the shorts unwind for the gamma pin on monday/tuesday. Then a pinning of around 29-31 before year end. Then we'll have a large rally for the first 2-3 weeks of January, maybe ahead or after the public demonstration of PLTR.

We are in a game where we push up the value of companies so they clear multiple market cap and liquidity hurdles to be included in various ETFs/indexes, these then create a base level of support, such as with NIO and TESLA, the ultimate of which is inclusion in the S&P500, then really there is not much to the game left. This is why i recommend you sell your TSLA and get into PLTR, because the game is only getting started with PLTR. In the meanwhile we have to contend with various antics of MM who are trying to make sure options expire worthless, which drive interim moves.

If you can't handle the volatility, just buy shares. If you are playing options, be very aware of option expiry dates, gamma positioning through max pain.

Edit 1: Getting a lot of comments on insider selling post lock-up. It is absolute bullshit. I know you guys can't read, but its literally right in the S-1

https://preview.redd.it/1u34w149jv661.png?width=1165&format=png&auto=webp&s=68ba8763bffc5616f80e2e981d703a03ec95bd4a

60%+ of the company is owned by Thiel, Karp, Cohen, and SOMPO (A Japanese Strategic who has a JV with Palantir in Japan),

So here’s my DD:

$PLTR is building a steady and solid Relative Strength Index rating.

It got an analyst upgrade this AM to $30.

Looking at a 3 month chart, you see the (obvious) flight from $11 - $30 through the beginning to the end of November. From here, PLTR forms a bullish pennant, signaling strong support levels and lower highs compared to the higher lows. This forms the narrowing pattern and pause in the price movement that leads into the eventual breakout. 🚀

This is all from a technical standpoint, which is how I trade personally, and I know you guys think it’s bullshit. But if there are enough retards out there thinking like me, they’ll be buying in too.

$PLTR may finally fly again 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀

Sources: slight personal DD because it’s kinda boring, Horoscope Generator, Trader Stewie, Jefferies, Wife’s Boyfriend.

Edit: Bullish Pennant shows LOWER highs and HIGHER lows, forming the narrowing pattern that leads to breakout. Fixed.

Edit Edit: Chart Pattern - PLTR

TLDR: MT to $30 🚀🚀🚀

MT is a heavily traded by the institutions and hence follows institutional structures. They like to target the 125%, 150% and 200% swings of balance areas. See how they target the 2x moves areas in the chart below in the Green boxes.

https://preview.redd.it/gzt5snrgx4961.png?width=1846&format=png&auto=webp&s=10b22b0ed8a14505d06b4c9be8cadf11b64f6b83

For the latest swing we have broken above the previous high at 19 and held and has reacted to the 150% extension line. We now know that the institutions and the algos are working off this swing structure. Their target will be in the upper red box around $29- $30.

https://preview.redd.it/8myexzhgy4961.png?width=1330&format=png&auto=webp&s=da2a589e3c5f347a39e312e05d90ec3190d10cf4

Ideally the best place to buy would be in the green box around $19 however if we do a statistical arbitrage analysis of the stock vs the price of steel, I dont think it will go back this far.

This is a chart of MT vs Steel Futures prices. You can see the stock has a close correlation to steel prices and is trading at a significant discount to the price of steel. The last steel price peak of $900 , MT was trading at an average of $30( purple box area). Steel is now at $1000, so the $30 target is very reasonable.

https://preview.redd.it/22msxzrgz4961.png?width=1605&format=png&auto=webp&s=63e0186c50cb91e2e8d03e8bf987cff3ca4eb22c

From current price to $30 is a 30% gain for an initial target. It could blow through this area but I would expect to see some profit taking here and a short term reversal especially if steel prices start to come off. If they dont the institutions will re accumulate for the next leg up.

I will look to buy at 22.20, 21.20 and around 19 if I see the right volumes coming in.

EDIT: DONT GIVE ME FUCKING AWARDS YOU RETARDS PUMP THAT SHIT INTO SHARES 🚀

Do not have much time to explain what this means to you retards who do not understand as I need to keep following and I am watching the stock position itself even better as I type.

Basically GME = The 6'2'' defensive lineman and Melvin = your wife.

We are extremely close to pulling off yet another event that those paper hand pussy wall street wankers will have in the back of their heads for years to come. We can not give up now.

I have faith in you fucking idiots and would never normally risk so much but this is war.

Will update with purchase of another 3000 shares at the best dip opportunity.

Stay strong, stay autistic and stay hungry boys. We are just getting started Melvin...

TDLR: your wife is being railed by a d end right now, don't you want to take that out on someone? I think I know just the guy... GME = 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀 Melvin = 🚑😥🪓🤡, lets ride.

EDIT: DONT GIVE ME FUCKING AWARDS YOU RETARDS PUMP THAT SHIT INTO SHARES 🚀

So I did an update a week ago telling you why PLTR at 25 was likely the bottom. I also told you to get the hell out of the 12/11-12/18 options as those would expire worthless.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/k98p6h/pltr_technical_analysis_from_a_professional/

now I will go over how to trade the stock in the next couple of weeks. I am cutting down the number of words I am writing because it has come to my attention from comments in my previous posts that a lot of you guys can't read. So I am going to keep it even more basic.

We are now approaching where TSLA and NIO were after their first initial rally, correction and consolidation before the second leg rally which then forms the symmetrical triangle.

https://preview.redd.it/yzim1gl5ke561.png?width=629&format=png&auto=webp&s=2e35a306b95241794ff00e6c69b14e6285bae886

Again, this was the same chart for Tesla for the first phase of the run-up and transition to the second run-up. The slight skew of the triangle doesn't matter, what matters is you see a narrowing of the band before the upward movement.

https://preview.redd.it/obkgayjake561.png?width=629&format=png&auto=webp&s=71c53d79f93f758ee43d8b46c61646088f1f7293

Now we look at option pricing. Option deltas are the most attractive that I have seen on PLTR for almost 1+ month now. These tell me that there are very few buyers of call options at this point and we are in a lull before periods of significant more option buying.

https://preview.redd.it/v2btc0pyje561.png?width=701&format=png&auto=webp&s=4e01729545a596866a3b062935bee7d25f6ebe41

We are about to start the explosive second run phase of Palantir and my target still mid to low 40s by end of the year/early next year. Again, don't be surprised if we still dip down to around 23. But the downside is largely done. This is of course assuming we don't get a massive stock market crash for which I have small amounts of hedges on VIX calls that are rolling on a monthly basis.

https://preview.redd.it/1orczd5xje561.png?width=629&format=png&auto=webp&s=ef76cf4df7324f0779a1949f980dd78d29f2f150

TLR: go long PLTR now, risk reward is quite favorable. 23 is the lowest it can probably go in the short term. You are already seeing doubters on PLTR on WSB. This means from a psychological stand-point, most would be sellers are already gone. Th
