What's up guys and welcome to wall street millennial on this channel, we cover all things: stocks and investing in this video. We're gon na go over the greatest gains and losses on the wall street best forum from the past week. So we can learn from other people's experiences. These videos are made possible by our channel members who get access to these non-time sensitive videos one day in advance.

First off we have user grouchyblood2682 who has finally unlocked god mode with his next level lost porn. He has been back holding shares of highly on holding since december of 2020 and continued to add more to his position as the stock declined in all. He has lost more than 157 thousand dollars on this single position. Helion produces electric drivetrains for trucks that are powered by a mini natural gas generator inside the truck.

These drivetrains can be retrofitted onto existing trucks. The advantage over normal battery electric truck design is that its range is much longer and can be refueled as quickly as a diesel truck the natural gas generator is also much more environmentally friendly than diesel, as it emits less greenhouse gasses per mile driven hylion also plans To manufacture their own truck called the erx which they plan to deploy for customer demonstration later this year, while their technology may appear promising to many, they are still an early stage company and do not expect to start shipments to fleet customers until 2022. Because of this, they reported a grand total of zero dollars of revenue for the years of 2020 and 2019.. Hylion went public through a spec in the summer of 2020 and almost immediately skyrocketed as part of the ev craze in september.

It peaked at 55 dollars a share which made it more than a five bagger from its space price of ten dollars. However, in the winter of 2020, the stock started to tank and has declined more than 80 from its peak. The current stock price of 11 is only slightly above the original spac price. The decline in highly on stock price mirrors, other pre-revenue ev, plays like quantum scape, whose stock price faced similar declines.

During the same period. Many market observers noted that the stack market looked like a bubble after the historic gains in 2020.. Hylion is one of the most acute examples of how painful it can be to invest in a bubble as it bursts. This resulted in a 157 000 loss for the op.

Some commenters try to look on the bright side. This loss can hopefully serve as a valuable lesson to the op not to invest in bubble socks. However, this lesson came at the price of 157 000. We wish you luck on your future trades.

Next off we have user 4c capo, who is back, holding significant losses on some failed stocking options plays, he is down. Almost 4 000 on rocket company's 27 strike calls expiring on april 16th. He owns a significant stock position in sundial, which currently sits at a 30 000 loss. Finally, he has multiple call option positions and a stock position in united wholesale mortgage, all of which are down significantly adding up all of his positions.

His portfolio is now a grand total of down forty four thousand dollars. While rocket companies benefited from a short squeeze in early march, he has failed to hold on to those gains and has fallen more than 46 percent. It is now below the op strike price of 27 sundial growers. A canadian legal herb company has similarly fallen precipitously over the past month and finally, united wholesale mortgage has fallen to seven dollars and 86 cents more than 20 below its initial stock price of 10.

United wholesale mortgage partners with independent mortgage brokers and helps them serve their mortgage customers. It is a very old and boring business. It's the type of company that you'd expect groomers to hold in their retirement portfolios, but, inexplicably is actually become very popular among wall street best users, who usually prefer high-flying ev stocks. It appears that there may be quite a few value investors on wall street bets.

Next off. We have user short doge master, who is down big after making a big loss on his disney yolo. He reasons that with vaccines being rolled out rapidly in the country, disneyland will benefit from a massive pent-up demand, as boomers are finally able to take their grandkids to the park. He bought 1555 contracts of 280 strike calls expiring.

On july 16th, disney stock has fallen. Seven percent in the past month the calls provide leveraged exposure to the underlying stock, so this seven percent decline in share price has resulted in a forty, seven percent or fifty seven thousand dollar loss on his call position. His calls still don't expire for another three months. So it's still possible that his investment could turn out to be a winner, although his strike price of 280 dollars is very optimistic, as it currently is significantly out of the money.

Disney's share price will have to increase by more than 29 for his call to expire. In the money, even with optimism about the reopening, this seems like a long shot. Furthermore, much of the optimism about the reopening is already factored into disney's share price. The current price of 188 dollars is already significantly above the pre-coveted highs of 150.

Hopefully these calls end up working out for this wall street bets user. But at this point it seems like a slim chance. Next up, we have user low hith with a massive 10 times return on a spy yolo. He was all in on 404 contracts of spy calls of various strikes.

They all expired on april 5th and some of them were profitable, while some weren't on april 5th the spy jumped to about 406 dollars. A share which put his 404 strike, calls in the money. But is 407 and 410 calls out of the money. Luckily, he only had 19 contracts of the higher strike calls, but had 385 contracts of the 404 strike calls which expired in the money all told he spent about seven thousand dollars on these calls and cashed out with 87 000.

That's enough for a 1 000 return. Putting him in 10 bagger territory, this robin hood user's success shouldn't be seen as any indication that making such massive gains is easy or that anyone can replicate it without taking on a lot of risk. Several of the commenters have been trading spy options for a long time and say how risky this trader's positions were. Putting up enough money to buy 4 000 contracts of spy calls means that either the calls are very cheap and thus have very high probability of expiring, worthless or that you are putting up a huge amount of money in the trade.

In this case, both apply to some extent the spy has had a very good past few days, but it could easily have gone down in the same period of time. The op was very close to having a negative 100 return on the trade in just the span of a few days. However, he took the plunge and came out on top. Congratulations on your 10 beggar gains.

Next, we have user yimi yimi with a 21 600 gain on calls on high max ticker symbol. Himx imax is a taiwanese small cap. Semiconductor company that produces a product called fablet semiconductors. Its products are mainly used in display systems such as tvs, cell phones and in-vehicle displays.

In the past several months there has been a massive chip shortage, causing the price of all semiconductor products to rise. Massively highmax has been a huge beneficiary of the semiconductor shortage, and its stock price has more than tripled in value. In the last six months alone, this robin hood trader has played the semiconductor shortage perfectly longing calls on hymex to the brim. He bought 150 call contracts at an 18 strike price expiring in september 66.

Contracts at the same strike by expiring in june and 75 19 strike call contracts expiring. This may after highmax's recent moves to the upside. All the calls are still significantly out of the money, but on the way towards the break-even price. Due to the time value of the options, increasing the calls have increased in value by twenty one thousand six hundred dollars or seventy two percent.

Many commenters admire the op's foresight to have bought highmax when he did user smarty300 asked how he found the stock and also, if he thinks it's not too late, to make an investment. The op says that he believes it's not too late to buy hi-max, even after the recent run-up. Other commenters offer information as to why hi-max is a solid company with a great and innovative product user. Andori ko says that he expects imax to beat earnings in the next few weeks, based on their previous guidance.

He has been playing calls on the stock for the past several months and says that he is up massively. However, do your own research before making a decision to follow suit? Next, we have user eljunbo809 who made massive attendees on general motors options. He is very bullish on gm stock, apparently thinking that it will go to 100 a share based on the current trajectory of the stock, which is up 187 in the past year alone. It definitely looks like it could.

The op was long. 25 call option contracts on gm with a 40 strike price and expiring in january of next year. He bought them for 60 cents each, presumably when they are still far out of the money, with gm stock at 61.27 cents a share today. They are now well in the money by a 21 dollar margin of safety.

As a result, the calls are now worth 23 and a half dollars a piece for a 3 800 game. This has made his one and a half thousand dollar investment spike to almost 60 thousand dollars. Some commenters wonder when the op entered the trade one user guesses march of last year at the pandemic lows. He also points out that, if you had bought long dated calls on pretty much any stock in the stock market in march of last year, you would have made huge gains, which is true, because the broad market has experienced one of the biggest straight lines up.

Since the pandemic lows, the s p 500 index is up about 77. Since then, another commenter says that the op forgot the e he's referring to the ticker symbol of gm. Joking that the ticker was supposed to be for gamestop. Congratulations on your 40 bagger!
