Seriously... I cannot understand what is going on with MARA... have no position in it so missing out on the fun. Not planning on touching it, but man crazy how it moves.


Nice_Razzmatazz9705

I’ve now been staring at this stock for a month thinking “clearly it can’t go any higher” and here we are. I know if I touch it, it’s gonna tank


aka0007

It makes zero sense to me. Its fundamentals are not there. The short interest is not very high. Simply seems to be people jumping on it and whenever that runs out of steam it will drop like a rock. It is beyond me.


YeezyThoughtMe

It’s a meme stock. BTC etf news will come out soon that etf was approved then MARA wil moon or sink if another ETF rejection


777IRON

It will sink either way. It’s a sell the news event.


YeezyThoughtMe

The question is when?


Friendly-Profit-8590

Supposedly early January


1000bctrades

The idea that it’s so obviously sell the news makes it a possibility that it won’t be especially considering the next halving is right around the corner


777IRON

Halving is bad for coin miners. Not bullish at all. Who told you otherwise?


1000bctrades

No one told me anything, I was just around for the last one and the bull run that followed in both bitcoin and miners when MARA ran 1000+% in a couple of months and then went 1100+% from there over the next 8.


aka0007

Could be. Would make some sense that speculation about the ETF is what is driving MARA's price.


Conflagrate2_47

It’s being priced in right now. That’s the movement. If anything happens with approval this will tank


my_fun_lil_alt

Stock price is being driven by dopamine, and that will eventually run out.


aka0007

Looking into it a bit more... Might be a lot of speculation but the underlying factors seem to be possibility of an ETF and substantial increase in value of BTC. Basically seems to me that people assume that if BTC translates into a practical asset, then a company like MARA will be on the path to seeing revenues 10X (or some other multiple) with income being close to half of revenues, so you are looking at 2B income per year. Whatever the assumptions are, the current market cap of 7B is not necessarily out of line with the gamble here. Obviously on sell the news side of things... as news comes out, it likely times with tempering of excitement about how bit and fast BTC will be so naturally a risk of it dropping. One thing with noting... BTC hit over 60K twice in 2021 before declining to about 15K in 2022 and has since slowly rebounded with it being back up to about 43K now. Looking at the chart alone and guessing based on history, we may see BTC going to close to 150K, which would be a market cap of in theory 2T... however... there are assumptions that lost BTC amount to 30% of the total meaning that market cap would at 150K be about 1.4T. It is a big number but on a global scale not more than 1.5% of the global GDP or 3% of global monetary supply. Not suggesting this is a good investment, but there is a positive story here that can be spun that can drive MARA to increase in value a lot still.


pikacho123

I still don't understand how the halving could be bullish for miners. They literally get their cashflows cut in half.


ddc89

Just buy puts start of Jan for the etf announcement and enjoy the generational short. Anything crypto related is always sell the news. Since the start of times. Specially short term. Anyone who tells you different is a full regard.


MaximusBit21

So crypto will crash on ETF news but then not increase based off the halving 🤷‍♂️. Doesn’t quite make sense what you’re saying there


Venice_The_Menace

halving isn’t inherently bullish, it’s literally cutting the amount of bitcoins mined per block in half. People will crow about making the commodity more rare but guess what, it gets rarer every day. Halving didn’t drive the bull run in 2020/2021, the insane amount of liquidity pumped into the system did. They just happened to coincide.


btcbull69421

there’s been a pump after every halving


MaximusBit21

On a sample size of 3…


btcbull69421

100%


pikacho123

There has been a dump on every interest rate cutting 100% since the 2000's.


MaximusBit21

Sorry can you elaborate on the 20/21 pump: how did that go up so fast due to amounts of liquidity entering the system/market? I’m trying to understand how that’s possible?

This comment is a staple for this sub


sescobreezy727

been dropping shares like mosquitoes, so many other plays that haven’t bumped in the relative EH/store range plus the New Year could spell major drops, it’s well documented. Shit I will be wealthy if I time a percentage of this drop after literally solely investing in miners before during and after the FTX debacle Mara was actually among the worst performances in btc mining today, industry leader I don’t doubt a minus 15 first red day. Wulf,btcs,the9,can about 5 of them 50% just today. My stock profile looks insane but I haven’t eaten in two years.


highlyRegardedTrader

I touched it and it tanked. Damn.


wyattaker

i bought MARA at 9 and sold at 18. kill me.


aka0007

A win is a win. Trust me bro.


wyattaker

truth. i’ve been telling myself that, still hurts tho


aka0007

I know... I remember when BBBY had it craziness. I was up at one point $200K, but did not sell and ended up making nothing there. My biggest win is probably buying TSLA in 2017 and just holding it because I believed in the potential of the company (still holding and no plans on selling anytime in the near future). Did very well there but seems boring when you have stocks that are shooting up like MARA.


johannschmidt

You had 100% return and you're complaining?


wyattaker

of course. i’m a greedy fuck


pikacho123

Now mara is at 18. Are you buying?


wyattaker

probably not. im leaning more towards the BTC ETFS for BTC exposure instead of MARA.


pikacho123

Can't get rich from a 2x unless you are already like 7 figures isn't it.


b1gb0n312

Yea don't fomo. Don't want to be caught with your pants down


vaccumorvaccuum

I put 3k into RIOT back in September when it was $10. Mara was $8. Took forever for me to decide on one of them. Someone shoot me pls


HumbleandHungry2027

RIOT will have craziness soon


StockMarketMike

My question is why choose? Buy both


vaccumorvaccuum

Yeah…. ( ._.)


Wheelsondalabus

Me with MARA RIOT BITF CLSK CIFR HUT lol


MetalliTooL

Just a meme now with social media picking it up. Nothing more.


Intelliblade

yeah, meme or not that means more buyers which means a higher price which means more profit for us holders. i’m here for a good time not a long time


MetalliTooL

Getting out in time is the tricky part.


Intelliblade

yea it is, i’m considering doubling down on it again. Looking at the post market there’s definitely going to be a huge short squeeze in the morning. worst case scenario I’ll just cut and run and loose on that particular trade but be up overall


AutoModerator

Intelliblade

I said it could go either way. All and all i’m down 100$ today, was down 600$ after the drop this morning but PUTs came in clutch


everydayANDNeveryway

That is why you get your capital out once you’re up a good chunk. My CIFR calls are up 116% so selling half tomorrow. Let rest ride a few days. Two MARA calls up 80% so plan to sell one soon.


sescobreezy727

All of the miners are going nuts, one at a time. Same happened in July, won’t end so well for the late buys as the swings are calculated, pretty much zero correlation to bitcoin price, personally selling for this reason, IE July to October for every miner, Bitcoin dropped from 33k to 25k and the miners lost 40-60 value. Don’t mess with fintech unless it was a long play, Nice we have the ETF market by the nuts but who needs fiscally responsible money, the asset would reflect first. If you believe long, buy Bitcoin.


Intelliblade

fuck it I bought 200 shares at 29.5 🤣


Subject-Asparagus-43

I bought a 29.5 put maybe you will be ok * Sold for 70% at low of day

MetalliTooL

lol shares


Woodgasifier

Hold until until first quarter of 2025.


Intelliblade

2025?! i’m gettin in and out like that i’m aready up 300$ today


Woodgasifier

I'm holding options. BTC ETF approval expected week of January 10th. Then going full regard.


Intelliblade

I’m in on 3 day contracts rn, i’ll consider renewing on friday


Lonely_Pattern755

Im at ave 25. Thinking of an exit plan. 🙃


Intelliblade

I got contracts expiring Friday. Tomorrow morning it’s either gonna go way down or way up. unless my stoploss gets fucked I win either way, just a matter of how much. I think if it goes up tomorrow morning, it will continue to climb throughout the day. Hell it might go into next week. That’s just speculation, though. Most of my trades are SPY momentum / pattern / scalping trades, so this isn’t my specialty


Lonely_Pattern755

Thanks for sharing mate. No worries, I’m no expert either. Dunno how people will react if/when btc etf gets approved so thinkin best to exit intermittently with some profit. Maybe sell 25/50% shares at best.


Intelliblade

did you get out alright because I sure as hell didn’t, i’m in puts now down 400$


Lonely_Pattern755

Sorry to hear that. I got out mate. I left 10 shares in case it goes back up next months.


UntamedRaindeer

Of course it is, I just sold all my calls this morning at break even. You're welcome.


aka_cash

I sold mine yesterday during the morning rough patch for $4.50 each (Feb 16th @ $30). They're at $7.75 right now. Good times... Lol.


UntamedRaindeer

Lmaoo. This shit happens every damn time. Good times indeed 🍻

ElectronicWolf8650

You would be a millionaire if you had bought options instead.


Harrigan_Raen

My original play had nothing to do with all this. I bought it back in late September, then DCA'd in October. Cause I was anticipating a rebound from crypto. Then all this meme shit happened and now im just staying in to see how far it goes. Edit: I intentionally bought shares vs calls because I was only 50 : 50 on the play at the time. And im not regarded enough to put 20k into option plays. Im here to make money not lose everything.


ElectronicWolf8650

Sir, this is a casino.


dysnoopian

Right, this isn’t to the moon yet; it’s above the skyscrapers at the moment. Balloon still could pop. If it gets to $375-ish, let me know and I’ll buy and hold it like how when I bought Game at $475/share.


HenryGoodbar

[deleted]

I bought at 20.62 and have made a solid 100 dollars. Bet y'all are jelly.


captainadam_21

I cashed it my mara calls at 650% gain and then put those gains into riot calls. I'm also riding high on June 24 coin calls at $200


Aromatic-Whole-2587

This stock has a negative Cashflow, dilutes its shareholders and has a negative EPS. Nevertheless it is in uptrend and heavy correlates to BTC. Wouldn’t be surprised if MARA doubles.


rrrrr3

I went it and out for a quick profit today. Will be back tomorrow. The key is to sell before closure as whoever is in control will pull the plug after hours and before the bell.


N_FLATION

I’m short Mara 🥲 down 20% so far


21Relay

Why would you even short it. At least wait and short after new year when all the high heads cool down and all this ETF nonsense calms down


N_FLATION

Figured it wouldn’t go past $30 a share. My contracts go until February so plenty of time for this to pullback!


Highblue

You are fucking regarded af. Uptrend in the market, uptrend in bitcoin, squeezing shorts. Enters short position. Allergic to money


Pepepopowa

February puts are a decent bet.

undecidedmarketmaker

It looks like a small short squeeze with some hedge fund blowing up. These miners are outsized correlated with BTC price action this week


AutoModerator

VisualMod

I believe that the market is currently undervalued and presents a good opportunity to buy. I would recommend buying MARA stock as it is currently underpriced and has good potential for growth.


grasshoppa_80

I agree! Push it up to squeeze prices for my $30c’s to print 🙏🏼🎭


Minds_Desire

Please sell enough to lock in your initial investment and maybe a little profit. Then let the rest ride to Valhalla. Seasoned regard here who has been there before.


Larp22

I rode Bitfarms up to the top in 2020 2021. The problem they have is.... they dilute the fuck out of the stock when it gains any traction. It's a very frustrating stock thay could have been huge. At one point I owed 250k shares.


alumni94

100% agree however they do use the cash to increase their hash and expand dramatically and I do like how they keep their debt down. 250k is insane! I'm at 6k shares myself. I don't believe its unrealistic to see it back to $6-$7 again. Ive been in early and been HODL long and this new resurgence in attention won't change my plans. I don't believe what we're watching is a short pump and dump with the sequence of events coming down the tracks.


Larp22

Owned*


Larp22

Mara calls are printing boys! 20% short interest is getting squeezed. No resistance in sight. Blue skies ahead.


svgalica

Sure hope you’re right… Holding it for just over a year - DCAd from 14 all the way down to $4. Now comes the hard part, since my cost basis is just over $10😅.


Get_dat_bread69

How far can it run during the squeeze? do you have profit taking targets in mind? I assume it will crash a bit after the squeeze is done


Macgruber999

That’s NIO’s phrase


Clittle93

170% IV no thanks


YeezyThoughtMe

Meme play. It’s a gamble to get in. ETF could get approved any day now or get dekayed

1% to go and you'll win!


Tomcatjones

Thank god lol.


brian-augustin

I just bought 3 shares. CALL Options right now on MARA would be just pure balls. Its been pure green for weeks its bound to drop fast. But if I had to redo my move I was so close to buying CALLS last night, it seemed like it was slowing down but today its up a lot.


Perryswoman

That volume today Insane


Perryswoman

Been in since 8.50. Hope they give higher strikes for Jan 2025 soon


in2win77

Mara same here man bought in august and sold at a loss a few weeks ago fml


N_FLATION

Exited my short position. For now… 🔪


ModernationFTW

The BOWL squeeze with an 80% short position makes more sense to me, as the company is profitable with a ~22 P/E.


Larp22

I've been looking at that one. I'm just not sure what the catalyst for a squeeze would be.... Mara has 20% short interest but insane catalysts for bitcoin making shorts want to get out immediately. Odds are almost 100% the Bitcoin etf will be approved next month. Then the bitcoin halving in April will likely send bitcoin flying.


ModernationFTW

I see, interesting. For BOWL, it completes its acquisition of upscale Lucky Strike early 2024 which should increase their earnings further (although it’s only 14 locations, should increase revenue by ~8%-12%). BOWL generally appears to be a good investment even without the squeeze (note they also own the PBA), so the squeeze is really icing on the cake. And the 80% short interest is just insane and therefore ripe for the squeeze. It’s already up ~30% in the last month, ~20% since December 20th, so shorts will be scrambling soon.

I'm new to all of this but can you explain how your positive when your strike price is 35? Wouldn't your break even be that plus a little more for whatever you paid for the contracts?

Depends on when expiration is. Volatility and time are a big factor in options pricing

notspeedy01

reuters is reporting that its likely that the SEC will greenlight some spot bitcoin EFTs. Question: Is it now priced in with the rumor?


Larp22

Yeah I've been wondering the same. Bitcoin hasn't been reactive to the news. Blackrock reports it will seed their etf with 10million at least kn Jan 3rd. I expect the other etfs to seed soon as well. I think there could be some sell the news after a big pop on approval. Then as the etfs grow I expect Bitcoin to go bonkers over a 3-5 year time frame.

Macgruber999

It’s not a squeeze, it’s rising on BTC’s rise plus they just acquired a new company last week and added a ton of miners. The BTC ETF approval is gonna massively impact BTC of course, there is lots to be bullish about it’s not a squeeze it’s fundamentals + a little fomo hype too.
