A lot of market news was from Reddit. I am active on the options sub as Rtiger. I played some of the meme stocks in a tiny way. Sold GME Feb 10 puts when the stock was moving up through 300. Trading restrictions made for a bumpy ride for the tiny profit. I have tiny positions in PLTR and ASAN. Just enough to keep me following them, not enough to make meaningful profits or losses.
I am too slow moving to be on the bleeding edge of what is new. I remain cautious, looking for better opportunities.
