Everything in life is a gamble, even playing it safe is a gamble:-)
One of the first stocks I invested in was a gold miner ...they had two mines, one in Pennsylvania and one in Nevada. The little stock went belly-up ...I chased it all the way into the pink sheets🤣 BK

So we both started off the same way ... investing in gold mines. I made a ton of $$$ day trading them. That is until my wife said that I was doing it all wrong. And she took over "our" stock portfolios ... and lost it all in  maybe 3 months? I had to go back to work to build up my own capital and opened my portfolios back up. Now I am the only one having a say in it. Ahhh ... life is so good now ... doing it the Wong way. BTW, my name isn't Wong ... I just took the rrrrrrr out of investing. But, that's mytakeonit |

Hmmm ... I bought a ton at 82 cents ... 88 cents ... and 116 cents ... so, life is a "calculated risk". But what the heck ... it's only $$$.

I’ve made and lost some scary amounts of money on options. The only way I can get some sleep these days is to own shares outright. Especially while it’s still under $2. No expiration on the shares.
That said, do get the experience of owning a few different contracts to learn about it and take the mystery out of them before going in big. It’s a wild and crazy ride during times of high volatility. I look for at least a 4X and hopefully a 5X + leverage if an opportunity presents itself. If shares are $2. I’d be tracking/following something in the .40 - .50 range. Just what has worked for me. Patience and timing are up to you.
This Oppenheimer presentation it full of hints about when the timing will be right to buy options. Event’s like the filing for TreT next year, once the pediatric trial results are going to be locked, filing is announced for pediatrics, are all good examples (I know I’m missing some but you get my meaning) of my thoughts on timing options buys.
Good luck all 🤞

Wine tastes bad when I lose $$$ ... so now days I don't lose $$$. I may have up and down fluctuations ... but I don't lose $$$. Ahhh ... my wine tastes so good ... (And yes, I don't do options)

Okay sports I'll raise your bet ... by giving Mike C the "option" to trade 500,000 shares of MNKD for my original Bag One litograph created by John Lennon ... that he could show at his Danbury offices on John Lennon's birthday on October 9th. And if he doesn't know this ... Yoko Ono said that she only knows of John creating the Bag One lithograph and no others. You know the story ... and it is the only original.
But, that's mytakeonit

I don't have a pic of my lithograph ... well I do, but the one picture that I took of it has my reflection in it. So I'm not posting that I also don't know how to post a pic on this board. In any case, this deal is directed to Mike C and I can provide actual pictures, certified copies of my ownership, direct him to the gallery that I purchased it from, etc. But, you can just google Bag One by John Lennon and you'll see a bunch of them. Just remember that most are copies and fakes and copies with Yoko's chock mark on it. Some people said that Yoko's prints were fake because ... "How could John sign those prints after he died." Ha! BTW mango ... because I mentioned sports in the above post... I guess if this deal goes thru I will have to give her some shares because of all the email she will have to respond to. HA! And now people will email her to say ... yeah, take that guy's shares ! And then you be #2 in the line behind sports. Ha! But, that's mytakeonit Forgot to mention that Bag One is their company logo and is John and Yoko in bed together. |

If Mike C says yes ... then it's a deal in the works. My daughter wouldn't care because ... what good is a lithograph that you can only look at and can't sell because it was willed to her by her Mom and Dad. She would yell ... "Show me the money !!! Or in this case ... Show me the shares !!!" But, that's mytakeonit |

No response in over 24 hours ... time's up and the offer is rescinded. My wife and daughter will be happy to hear that because they didn't want me to part with it ... my daughter especially. Ha!

maybe 3 months? I had to go back to work to build up my own capital and opened my portfolios back up. Now I am the only one having a say in it. Ahhh ... life is so good now ... doing it the Wong way. BTW, my name isn't Wong ... I just took the rrrrrrr out of investing.
