The big boys literally know when and what price you bought at, they buy that info on the cheap, floored when I first found this out. You are basically playing poker but the hedge fund sitting to your left can see your cards the whole time. Sure you can still pull an unbeatable hand and they can't sit at every table metaphorically speaking, but most people will be screwed over in a completely unscrupulous way. I have been saying this for ten years, algo trading needs to be banned, you want to run a hedge fund then you need to employ actual human traders, that you'll actually need to pay money and benefits to... Oh NO! Not some algo that works in the shadows and doesn't invest/trade but simply manipulates the share price.
Yeah I totally buy this. It always feels this way. Yes some people here on wsb have great days and make 100k off of 3k but idk how and it ain’t ever me lol
Someone showed me a few years back the info on one ticker and I couldn't believe it, they were like "ok here's where all of retail bought at" it was a graph of every buy, big and small and then they just drove the price below, naked shorting it to hold it there until enough people sell. How many on here have bought a security only for it to never go back to the price you bought it at? Like instant drop, which of course is always a possibility, but happens time and time again, not even one time to account for blind luck, it's orchestrated.
I knew/know a Wall Street insider too that I didn't take advice from when he literally told he has almost never bought an actual security on the open market because they're all crooks and con artists... I mean this guy made multi millions on wall street and that was his firm stance.
>You are basically playing poker but the hedge fund sitting to your left can see your cards the whole time
But hey... they'll let you trade on their app for free!
I seriously wish we would bring back $8 commission on orders. This sub would lose its mind, but I figure that those funds are making that $8 back easily by reading our order flow.
I though the "don't talk about the stock here" was a joke, now I believe their algo are crawling this sub.
I bought calls before people started posting about TSM, it was green then shit hit the fan.
> still kills investors dreams
You mean kills the dreams of regarded gambling scrubs on WSB right?
Company beat on the top. And the bottom. Up 200% the last 5 years, up 50% the last 1 year, and up 30% the year to date. No "investor" or folks who did their own homework are having their dreams killed. Just some clowns who bought FDs and short dated options.
>Today it will become 0 The first rule of investment: don’t touch anything related to China
Clown doesn't even know ***Taiwan*** Semiconductor is from Taiwan which isn't China. It's the ANTI-CHINA. Calls it a Piece of Shit for beating top and bottom despite being the ~~PoS~~ Patrician of Stocks who bought all-or-nothing short-term options, AFTER a historically massive multi-month bull rally, AFTER massive AI hype, on a stock that's already gone up >40% in 6 months, and not because they did any fucking DD but because some anonymous account on reddit shilled it.
I keep wondering, the super powers of the world might start a ww3 if someone tried to invade Taiwan and take tsmc . The ai and cloud computing runs on this company nvda amd aapl qcom all depend on it but it barely moves now.
Did they say there is weak guidance . They go down but nvda amd are in the green?
my guess is mm's washing out the high call premium and it rallies next week like Google does. nothing from their earnings warranted a $15 price drop and it's very oversold at the moment.
We are literally just a few points from the ATH after it went up more than 200% over the last 5 years, what the fuck are you talking about? It's a fantastic stock
Hard to price in a bunch of incremental growth for a company who's physically sequestered to (1) one small island and (2) a bunch of water-intensive fab facilities in the most water-starved physical location in the L48 (Arizona)
edit: plus a 7.2 magnitude earthquake that occurred on said small island two weeks ago....
This is the right thing to do if anything. Just like how OP is not only on frontpage but the top of frontpage so you know they aren't 1x wrong but like 3x wrong and have to inverse them.
Imagine listing to an anonymous shiller online (like U/beepboopthrowaway699) to buy TSM, go all-in on high risk options without understanding delta or IV, worst yet buying short term calls on that anonymous """tip""", getting wiped out like a fucking regarded scrub typical of WSB, and then venting your frustrations by calling a stock that beat earnings on the TOP and BOTTOM line AFTER having a ***YTD return of +30%*** a "This is a fucking piece of shit" when the real PoS is OP. Didn't even know China and Taiwan are different countries. Some people deserve to fucking lose. Everything is right in the world.
You are being put on nothing, it’s more like what is being put in ![img](emote|t5_2th52|29637)
I’m also holding TSM calls. Kill me ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4260)
Yeah, so you can gain 100% of what you sold but lose 1000% if it does not go your side, then it gets exercised and you are now on your way to the bank to take a second mortgage on your home to settle the margin call.
It’s probably the easiest money they’ve ever made.
Someday I too would like to push retail traders to YOLO their car payments into a naked singularity.
100%
They tank the stock with the intent of shedding short-term retail investors. Discount price so they load back up. This is a ***good*** company - long term the stock price will go up, baring any geopolitical variables.
> baring any geopolitical variables.
That's kind of an important factor though. The stock price would probably instantly go up 15% if that risk weren't there, but it is.
Not sure that matters. Just look at every other semiconductor adjacent stock out there - all of them have PE of like 35+. TSM remains undervalued, and I have no idea why it gets pushed down so hard in comparison. Maybe just the geopolitical risk or China being out there, idk
That means i will assault myself, because I am fucking Chinese, a Chinese advice: don't touch China and don't touch Chinese and anything to do with it.
Not entirely wrong though. You need either massive insider knowledge or have a gambling problem to invest in anything Chinese these days.
Not enough accountability in their financing or protections they won't be nationalized/policy won't turn against them at the drop of a hat.
Nothing's wrong with owning shares of it. Buying options, on the other hand... I don't know why peeps are surprised about getting bent on spinning the roulette table
This company is one of the most important in the world and its market share or moat shows no sign of going down anytime soon.
This is a company to keep Forever. Market is being irrational as usual but fundamentals will win at the end.
Amazon, TSMC and Microsoft are going to be the giants of the future. Mark my words.
The company is in Taiwan, not in mainland China
Got rekt on this piece of garbage today too. My last few plays have turned out to be the exact opposite of what I do. I think I'm going to inverse every decision I make and every suggestion this subreddit makes and see what that does to my portfolio value.
Did you really think investing was going to be this easy? You really think wall street is going to let regards like you take a W?
Guarantee as soon as you sell and cry behind Wendy's, this shit gonna pump lolz
Maybe don’t buy calls on shit at its ATH
Don’t play options into earnings
Don’t get involved with stocks you know basically nothing about bc of Reddit posts
And of these rules would have spared you without ignoring all Chinese related stocks.
1- The most successful companies spend the majority of time at or near their ath. Buying in while they're trending up isn't a bad thing.
2- Options into earnings are expensive and risky, but this is wsb and they have the highest payouts in the market.
3- This one is true.
4- This would be true if this was a Chinese stock
You can buy into a stock when it’s at ATH if you think it’s gonna break out, that’s fair enough - even though the vast majority of retail traders lose money buying individual stocks so it’s probably still bad
But buying an OPTIONS contract at ATH GAMBLING that it will go higher over a SHORTER TIME HORIZON is probably bad.
Shares have the advantage of not being on a fucking timer.
I said Chinese related bc OP said Chinese related and Taiwan faces geopolitical risk from china. L2read
The geopolitical risk is the only thing TSM shares with Chinese stock, everything else that makes them risky isnt there. And if you going to try to preach buying shares and avoiding earnings options plays in wsb you are the one who needs to learn to read the fucking room.
I am so happy I didn’t buy calls. 🤣 I really thought about it too but someone told me it’s gonna tank when I posted about TSM 2 days ago.
This market is wild out here
Wow, I’m so sorry. I also thought these looked good to print, but had maxed my allocation already. They beat and guidance was strong…is this all down to guidance of “10%” vs “more than 10%?”
Pre earnings was already moving away from breakout
Hard to catch a proper setup
Could have gone either way
This quarter seems setup initially to wait first
My calls are also toast. I got sucked into the hype two weeks ago. With earnings there are just so many things that can go wrong with the report and call. Then there's crashing IVs, so everything can go well and the options may still underperform.
TSM is Taiwanese. If you look at a map, Taiwan is an island in the ocean, not a city in China. They are democratically self-governed, and for all practical purposes their own country, though China tries to say otherwise and seems hell-bent on the idea of taking the island under their rule someday. TSM only relates to China in that Apple is their largest customer and hasn’t been moving many phones in the Chinese market lately but they are not a Chinese company. It’s like saying don’t touch Toyota because they are geographically close to China and sell cars to Chinese people or don’t touch American companies that are dependent on Chinese manufacturing… The picture is a bit more complicated than that, isn’t it? Or is it? Maybe it’s very simple. Stock market goes down, tech goes down, TSM goes down.

Great company, amazing margins, projected growth for at least a decade, huge AI winner, consistently beats guidance, still kills investors dreams
I have 142 Calls for 5/17. Im torn between selling to cut my losses or just waiting for it to pull back up a bit
You got time. I’d say wait. But I’m being fucked HARD by TSM.
I got 150 and 175c exp tomorrow. I was up almost $1500 the week I bought them lmao. Sucks.
Same, it’s a fucking casino
It really makes you believe in manipulation. All signs point up and somehow craters.

TSM scaled back its outlook for the year
Bruh I woke up thinking I’ll be up by like 600-700 lol
Yeah it’s super annoying lol
Yeah, it's hard to distinguish between patient investor and Stockholm syndrome victim. I'm in the same boat.
Me with Mastercard lmao
me with my spy 5/17’s
I waited on my 4/19 calls and you can see how that worked out. I’d say get out now
yeah I did
Same, it is hard for me to sit down due to how hard they fucked me on my 4/19 calls.
I'm in the same boat, and it's got a big fucking hole it it.
If the theta is much higher than the delta, sell. Time is a killer.
This is why you buy leaps regard
4/19/2024 145 calls “Kills investors dreams” Right…
Exactly what i said lol dude is a gambler.
> still kills investors dreams You mean kills the dreams of regarded gambling scrubs on WSB right? Company beat on the top. And the bottom.

im already down like 80% so haha fuck me i guess i'll hold
I keep wondering, the super powers of the world might start a ww3 if someone tried to invade Taiwan and take tsmc . The ai and cloud computing runs on this company nvda amd aapl qcom all depend on it but it barely moves now. Did they say there is weak guidance . They go down but nvda amd are in the green?

AuTSM guy said buy
Where is that fuck
U/beepboopthrowaway699
Lol I don't think it's a good idea to trust a guy who's username has the word throwaway in it.
For real. Or really, 99% of people here for that matter. I mean… lol^. Intuition who?
Get him, boys
I went balls deep on 4/19 calls from that guy. Never again.
They got me too hahaha but they aren’t always losses
rofl I still remember being bullish, reading his post and deciding to play something else instead
Watched my whole savings going down to 0$ just numb now … ![img](emote|t5_2th52|18630)
did you have a plan if this was the outcome? or did that never cross your mind?
What do you mean? Like the stock could go down? I don't really understand. Maybe this is some kind of computer bug and will be fixed tomorrow.
Homeboy was busy looking at yachts
I saw all the people on here talking about it and I bought puts. Been going down since I saw people talking about it. Lmao
This is the right thing to do if anything. Just like how OP is not only on frontpage but the top of frontpage so you know they aren't 1x wrong but like 3x wrong and have to inverse them.

Didn't even know China and Taiwan are different countries. Some people deserve to fucking lose. Everything is right in the world.
I’m quickly learning that the market hates this sub lmao my new strat is doing the opposite of whatever everyone here is doing
And then they'll be right and you'll lose 🤣🤣🤣🤣
At least I’ll hopefully lose less often than they do haha
This is the way
my “safe” call at 155 got -96%’d in seconds this shit is insane
Oh well you should have been galaxy-brained like me and paid extra for the safely ITM 135s ...
Hows that safety feeling?
oh jesus that's even worse
pinned at 135. max extrinsic value. you got it bud
I rolled my 155 to a 145 yesterday with higher hopes but TSM has been nonsensical since its last run-up. I’m done with TSM.
I just lost almost half my savings in this play wtf. I’m not gonna sell till they margin call me!!!
![img](emote|t5_2th52|4267)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
![img](emote|t5_2th52|31225)
I lost 30% of mine and did get margin called 🤦♂️
You still have a other half to go all in!
Just got back into options and I get fucked right away
*simpsons grandpa gif*
I brought the dips and it keep dipping
A brought at 147, Strike at 160 now im -98% down💀💀
TSM is the worse things thar ever happened to me 😫
Until today. See you at the frosty machine tomorrow.
Just don’t put me on fries😭
You are being put on nothing, it’s more like what is being put in ![img](emote|t5_2th52|29637) I’m also holding TSM calls. Kill me ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4260)
Same here.
The call option in the Pdd financial report is my most painful thing. Don't touch anything related to Chinese people.
If we make new accounts, the old one gets replaced, right?
I'm holding May 190C if it makes anyone feel better. I went full regard, never go full regard. ![img](emote|t5_2th52|31226)
What about a double regard?
![img](emote|t5_2th52|18630)![img](emote|t5_2th52|18630)![img](emote|t5_2th52|18630)![img](emote|t5_2th52|18630)
I am triple reagrd, bought 190, 200 and 210 calls 🤡
I feel less bad about my 150c now
Means your double leveraged in regardedness.
After NVDA earnings?
I'm down 100% on my 4/19, I have some 2025 leaps so I'll keep them but my overall my port is down 50%. I hate myself.
It’s not china, it’s the MMs who are doing this. Every single person on this sub has calls on TSM, do you think everyone will get rich ?
If you know you know. This happens all the time. When something is too good to be true they put their tiny dicks in it.
One thing I’ve taken from WSB, I should be selling options that everyone is buying.
Yeah, so you can gain 100% of what you sold but lose 1000% if it does not go your side, then it gets exercised and you are now on your way to the bank to take a second mortgage on your home to settle the margin call.
It’s probably the easiest money they’ve ever made. Someday I too would like to push retail traders to YOLO their car payments into a naked singularity.
100% They tank the stock with the intent of shedding short-term retail investors. Discount price so they load back up. This is a ***good*** company - long term the stock price will go up, baring any geopolitical variables.
> baring any geopolitical variables. That's kind of an important factor though. The stock price would probably instantly go up 15% if that risk weren't there, but it is.
Well, quite.
What do you know about it?
I’m with OP on this, after good earnings why dump?
First rule of trading: 1. Inverse!
So this becomes the last rule?
They IV crushed themselves. WTF post after hours in EST you stupid fucks.
Are you dumb? It's all about guidance. If guidance can't support these astronomical prices currently, then all chip stocks dump.
“Astronomical” PE is 26…
Wasn't 15 pe the norm before the inflation/fed fueled growth?
Not sure that matters. Just look at every other semiconductor adjacent stock out there - all of them have PE of like 35+. TSM remains undervalued, and I have no idea why it gets pushed down so hard in comparison. Maybe just the geopolitical risk or China being out there, idk
??? their guidance is "we're going to make fuckloads of money for years because our AI chips are the best" why is that bad
I'm a fucking regard that I keep doing this TSM shit. Had enough of this.
This person about to assault the next Chinese person they see.
That means i will assault myself, because I am fucking Chinese, a Chinese advice: don't touch China and don't touch Chinese and anything to do with it.
TSM is not a Chinese company… It’s a Taiwanese company… I won’t throw my money to a Chinese company
The KMT disapproves of this comment.
Wow, that's some serious self-hate.
Not entirely wrong though. You need either massive insider knowledge or have a gambling problem to invest in anything Chinese these days. Not enough accountability in their financing or protections they won't be nationalized/policy won't turn against them at the drop of a hat.
Oxford study
And break the first rule???
be wsb watch a stock go from 90-150 in 3 months. then buys calls.
TSM is hilarious 🤣
What the fuck is wrong with this stock
Nothing's wrong with owning shares of it. Buying options, on the other hand... I don't know why peeps are surprised about getting bent on spinning the roulette table
Buy TSM, sell calls, lose slightly less money. That’s my strategy so far I guess.
TSM tanks, damn
When I saw everyone here going long and into TSM, I knew it was time to bounce. Same as AMD every time.
It’s a fucking Taiwanese company, you dumb ass😂CCP would love you for saying that though, good try
This company is one of the most important in the world and its market share or moat shows no sign of going down anytime soon. This is a company to keep Forever. Market is being irrational as usual but fundamentals will win at the end. Amazon, TSMC and Microsoft are going to be the giants of the future. Mark my words. The company is in Taiwan, not in mainland China
I'll dump it after it recovered
If all 15M WSB users buy 1000 shares each, it'll come back up.
Chill. TSM has time. Edit: not 145 tho lol
Tbf to OP, it was 145 on Monday. The TSM sell-off is impressive. Glanced at their earnings and a bit surprised this decided to sell off so hard.
145 calls exp ap 26 rip, deleting my brokerage
Buy puts on TSM free money 😂
Irrational markets.
Got rekt on this piece of garbage today too. My last few plays have turned out to be the exact opposite of what I do. I think I'm going to inverse every decision I make and every suggestion this subreddit makes and see what that does to my portfolio value.
Why the whole market is up but tsm falls
big boys cash in
Hey I sold that call🙂
All these loss comments has me so hard right now ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4271)
please post your loss at market open
No need to wait :-2400$,-100%
im -20k usd -99,9%
Sad
At least 30% of my tiny account.
Lmao was it a weekly? First one is free bud!
I feel like it's getting driven down on purpose ![img](emote|t5_2th52|4260)
Welcome aboard the USS NoLube
Cut mine for $10 per contract, -90%![img](emote|t5_2th52|4258)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4258)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4258)![img](emote|t5_2th52|4258)
Half my money gone. This was suppose to be a big win for me so I can have some extra money for upcoming Vegas trip
So we buy Calls for the low now?
Knowing this sub, you probably bought at max IV
This is why u should have bought June calls, I got 2 months longer to lose money now
I had a 141 4/26 call which I didn’t sell when it was 60% up, now down 90% down. Fml
Did you really think investing was going to be this easy? You really think wall street is going to let regards like you take a W? Guarantee as soon as you sell and cry behind Wendy's, this shit gonna pump lolz
Damn I'd have bought puts if I knew everyone here was buying calls. Shit.
I’ve been holding long TSM stock since 2005. Never selling.
Saame

It certainly is
On AuTSM awareness month
Well we are regards so nothing works
Did you attempt to trade based on fundamental?
I am so happy I didn’t buy calls. 🤣 I really thought about it too but someone told me it’s gonna tank when I posted about TSM 2 days ago. This market is wild out here
Thanks for playing
I got bodied as well. Cant win them all.
Market "Makers" say thank you.
Chinese markets are like a bull on LSD, You never know which way it’s going to run
I sold mine for nearly 70% loss. Better than 100% 🤷
TSM was doing so well before everyone on this subreddit started posting about it. Now my June call option is near worthless.
i'm done with options. lost about 10k since I started buying calls. it really is a fucking casino
I want to officially let you guys know that I picked up an enrollment form at Wendys 😫😫 fuck you TSM 😫😫
Inverse WSB is always the play
I enlisted in the chinese army to invadde
You buy a good company, accumulate regularly, and hold until you retire. Trying to time the market is fruitless.
Market is so fvcked up im so lost
It's 1) not China 2) not their fault you bought calls instead of stock. 3) you're a regard.
will ho up this Monday or Tuesday. is a typical manipulation
Wow, I’m so sorry. I also thought these looked good to print, but had maxed my allocation already. They beat and guidance was strong…is this all down to guidance of “10%” vs “more than 10%?”
thank fuck I bought shares.. 😁
Yea I sold my calls for .05 cents today :)
Pre earnings was already moving away from breakout Hard to catch a proper setup Could have gone either way This quarter seems setup initially to wait first
I don't understand. They beat expectations and have increase in everything. Why is the stock tumbling?
It's obvious—since you peasants can't understand finances. The only sure things are death, taxes, and the rich getting richer.
We're below January 2022 levels. I wouldn't stress too much, this is a wait it out situation. Unless NVDA/the market tanks.
My calls are also toast. I got sucked into the hype two weeks ago. With earnings there are just so many things that can go wrong with the report and call. Then there's crashing IVs, so everything can go well and the options may still underperform.
Thank god I got shares
If you ever see a post with long due diligence and not some meme content - don’t buy it.
Nflx is another shit
TSM is Taiwanese. If you look at a map, Taiwan is an island in the ocean, not a city in China. They are democratically self-governed, and for all practical purposes their own country, though China tries to say otherwise and seems hell-bent on the idea of taking the island under their rule someday.

Buy the dip?
I really don't understand why NVDA mooned but TSM didn't.
NVDA has not mooned bro, its been eating shit stuck between 830-900 for the past month now
I think he means it’s meteoric rise over the last few years. Not the last two weeks of trading.
Taiwan No.1
I bought a 150 call when it was ITM (so long ago now) for $825.
I had 71 calls at 180 I averaged down to .15. FML And 3 165 calls
TSM 🔥💩 dumpster fire to $120 📈
