The Call Girls Investment Club

Diana Becker

My name is Diana Becker ("TeslaChick") and I've been supporting my family for two decades trading stocks and options. I started this "secret" investment club in 2013 to help my friends learn, gain confidence and, hopefully, achieve the same financial independence I found. In times that I didn't have a lot of cash, I found "Call" options to be the great equalizer. You don't need a fortune, a fancy education or a Wall Street ego. All you need are a few tools and your knowledge as a consumer. I'll be teaching my 22 year old son to trade on air and discussing everything: terminology, strategy, psychology. There are no stupid questions. But also, for more advanced traders, I'll share predictions and the insights which have helped me in the past. My goal is for all of you to make a million dollars this year! read less

We're Back To Where We've Never Been - OK?
Current Events - How to - Trading Psychology – Or maybe just whatever…Episode recorded Sunday, May 1, 2022 We are dipping our toes into trading again after a year off – and losing money due to two years of Los Angeles being shut down (and other things) – not going to discuss politics. Michael decided to quit and try online poker.  I bought some indexes after a call in TQQQ went South, putting a little money in a Roth IRA.Michael does a deep dive on online poker using his game theory background.  He also made a little money designing and posting a small online game on steam—CAT CLICKER.  I keep making some spare cash at TESLACHICK WATERLESS CAR WASH – and have learned a lot about using a side business to make extra cash while expensing what is legal with the IRS.We talked about our move cross country, tornadoes and a series of unfortunate events in New Mexico, as well as what became of our once upscale neighborhood in North Hollywood, California.And we ran out of time – sorry Michael, no time to discuss “One Piece”. Maybe next week. Running time 60 minutes. Support the show:https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClubEmail us:Diana.at.teslachick@gmail.com#howto #trading #options #stocks #investmentclub #calls #puts $TQQQ $SPXL #leverage #JimCramer #Excel #spreadsheets #trends #investing #onlinepoker #poker #gamedesign #gametheory #catclicker #teslachick #taxes #rothira #ira #onepieceSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClub)
Back to Basics Swing Trading TQQQ

Back to Basics Swing Trading TQQQ
Episode #29 – Back to BasicsAvailable on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfMOQHZARuIx5yMh4DzMQ9QCurrent Events - How to - Trading Psychology - episode recorded Saturday, April 17, 2021Current Events: We have returned to simple day and swing trading of TQQQ (triple-leveraged NASDAQ).  We did extensive work on Excel spreadsheets together and separately and learned some trends and how reliable they are (such as buying on Friday and selling on Monday—and avoiding Thursdays and Holidays!). Robinhood is being sued by Massachusetts in an effort to remove their license.How To: Laying out a detailed spreadsheet takes a lot of time and patience but, if you want to recognize trends, there is nothing like hard work.  Long-term options seem less risky, buying on the way down gets you a better call price, and Robinhood’s markup is NOT forgiving like Schwab’s.  They are rumored to facilitate trades between members NOT on the open market which puts members at a disadvantage.  Advantage of Robinhood, however, is that their App is very user friendly and current (yet not without flaws).Trading Psychology:We found arguing with one another to test our conviction level was VERY beneficial. Running time approximately 40 minutes. Support the show:https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClub#howto #trading #options #stocks #investmentclub #calls #puts $TQQQ #NASDAQ #bonds #leverage #JimCramer #Excel #spreadsheets #trends #investing #investingtrendsSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClub)

The Problem with a Big Haul
Our worst podcast ever! Everything went wrong: cats, confusion, technical difficulties (and at the end we realize we never recorded full spectrum sound) yet we give the predictions of “The Machine” for the coming week – and we are surprised.Current Events - How to - Trading Psychology - episode recorded Sunday, February 28, 2021Today we discuss: Current Events: The second big move on GameStop, why it was triggered (ice cream tweet), why Wall Street is clueless and what could trigger another one and when it will happen (according to “The Machine”).  Michael’s Corsair Gaming investment and why it broke it’s pattern, Moderna’s sudden announcement that their vaccine doesn’t need refrigeration and the leak that it may be used to cure/prevent cancer, the good result for Rocket Mortgage, Beyond Meat, Workhorse, and why I won’t be investing in them, the sudden 43% drop and 25% rise in the “SPAC” Churchill Investments and how I made a quick profit, the GME options that returned 241,000% in a day (yes you can make a million dollars with only $10K—in a single day).How To: Prediction charts from my algorithm, “The Machine III” on various stocks:  Corsair, GameStop, Marathon and Riot bitcoin miners and Bitcoin, how you can make a fortune on a small option (and rendered unable to do simple math from the shock and awe!), Michael’s idea to investigate puts – saying he plans to learn by doing (just call us “Call Girl and Put Boy”!), my reasons for discouraging trading “puts” (bets against stocks).Trading Psychology:Small incremental CONSISTENT gains are worth far more than “the big score”, the tendency to blow money on arbitrary trades when you make a lot. Running time approximately 47 minutes. #howto #trading #options #stocks #investmentclub #calls #puts $BTC #bitcoin $CRSR #CorsairGaming #RiotBlockchain $RIOT #callgirlandputboy #GameStop #GME #gamestop #WallStreet #wallstreet #Moderna #vaccine $MRNA #RocketMortgage $RKT #BeyondMeat $BYND #Workhorse $WKHS $CCIV #ChurchillInvestments #SPAC #SPACs #Marathon $MARA #algorithmSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClub)

Robinhood's Secret Agenda
The Gamestop/Reddit/WallStreetBets/Robinhood ripoff bombshell about exactly why Robinhood did it.  With an estimated $5 Billion in shorted stock loaned out at an estimated 80% interest – we know where their priorities lie.  Current Events - How to - Trading Psychology - episode recorded Saturday, January 30, 2021Today we discuss: Current Events: The Gamestop/Reddit/WallStreetBets/Robinhood ripoff and a bombshell about exactly why Robinhood did it.  With an estimated $5 Billion in shorted stock loaned out at an estimated 80% interest – we know where their priorities lie.  We run through our trades throughout the week.  Michael was up 160% at the point before Robinhood pulled the plug on the reddit trades.  I had an option that was up almost 1000% in one day.  We discuss in detail the tactics of hedge fund short traders and how Reddit users are on to their tricks, how the GameStop trade is gaining momentum and attention from around the globe and some of the most influential and wealthiest people are supporting its climb to $1000, and why Michael is sticking with Nokia.  If you own an index fund, you own the Reddit stocks.  Finally, we discuss possible outcomes of the trade for the future.  PS – I made a fortune on Bitcoin on the one day we were shut out of the Reddit trade through Riot Blockchain options!How To: Reminder how “Shorts” make their trades, where they get their shares and why GameStop is a trade that should work, regardless of the fundamentals (all that matters is supply and demand of the stock).  Some of the pitfalls (error screens) you might encounter trading on a volatile stock on a platform like Robinhood (with examples-on the YouTube version of the podcast).  Trading Psychology:Limiting exposure versus going all in.  (It’s called “YOLO” on Reddit – you only live once).  Being nimble, figuring out who has the power on the street at the time and being flexible to trade the way that is winning at the moment. Running time approximately 46 minutes. #howto #trading #options #stocks #investmentclub #calls #puts $BTC #bitcoin $CRSR #CorsairGaming #RiotBlockchain $RIOT #NASDAQ #shortsellers #GameStop $GME #indexfunds $XRT #reddit #wallstreetbets #Robinhood #hedgefunds #ElonMusk #dirtytricks #greed #diamondhands #DavidPortnoy #JustinSun #WSB Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClub)

The Machine (Predicts Bitcoin)
Current Events - How to - Trading Psychology - episode recorded Saturday, January 23, 2021Today we discuss: Current Events: I’ve re-created the “Machine”, a very large spreadsheet which predicts future stock movements, this time with bitcoin.  Michael’s portfolio is up by 70% after only a month of trading options. Corsair Gaming (a product Michael uses) and why I think he’s right it’s about to move on upcoming earnings (Feb 9), his enthusiasm and insight is infectious!  GameStop’s ridiculous climb and the battle with Andrew Left (famed short seller who went after Tesla years ago).  Biden’s first four days in office – killing Keystone pipeline, ending fracking, rejoining Paris Accord & its impact on the stock market & economy.How To: Buying longer term options versus short.  Getting out early--the “extrinsic” value of options really drops the closer you get to expiration date, “out of the money” options even more so.  Complicated options strategies versus simple ones (the simple ones are for me).Trading Psychology:Doing your homework first.  Taking a smaller profit and getting out before the weekend.  Not getting “stuck”.  Making the stock market work for you, not working for the stock market. Running time approximately 39 minutes. #howto #trading #options #stocks #investmentclub #calls #puts $BTC #bitcoin $CRSR #CorsairGaming #RiotBlockchain $RIOT $TQQQ #NASDAQ #AndrewLeft #shortsellers #GameStop $GME #Keystone #KeystonePipeline #pipeline #fracking #ParisAccord #globalwarming #Tesla $TSLA #Biden #politicians #worldgonecrazy #violence #cancelcultureSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClub)

FAANG is Dead
I may be early saying this, but the “FAANG” trade is dead.Current Events - How to - Trading Psychology - episode recorded Saturday, January 16, 2021Today we discuss: Current Events: Bitcoin/Riot new highs and chart patterns, public opinion about Big Tech (Facebook, Apple, Amazon, Twitter & Google) which have shut down their rival, Parler, lawsuits, retaliation and the effect on their stocks, Poland and Idaho are first responders, overall health of the stock market, JP Morgan earnings and my (apparently lone) thoughts about American bankruptcies being kicked down the road… which I have not heard any commentators talking about (yet), TQQQ representing the Nasdaq is no longer my favorite trade because of the FAANG holdings at the top.How To: Chart patterns: “curve of adoption”, the “hyperwave”, selling half when you double your money to play with the “house’s money”, short- versus long-term options.Trading Psychology:Human nature is to buy high and sell low, yet you should do the opposite. How to avoid feeling left out by buying some long-term options while day trading shorter-term options. Running time approximately 22 minutes. #howto #trading #options #stocks #investmentclub $TSLA #Tesla $BTC #Bitcoin #JimCramer #Cramer @JimCramer #callgirlsinvestmentclub #earnings $JPM #JPMorgan #banks #psychology #stockmarket $RIOT #Riot #WallStreet #moneyprinting #Parler #hyperwave #curveofadoption #housesmoney #daytrading #Poland #Idaho #bankruptcies #NASDAQ #bigtech #Facebook #Twitter $TWTR $FB #Amazon $AMZN #Apple $AAPL #Google $GOOG #buylowsellhigh #tradingpsychologySupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClub)

I Know Nothing
“I know nothing.” – Sergeant Hans SchultzWell, at least I admit it.  Thoughts and theories on the $TSLA action this week (and others).Current Events - How to - Trading Psychology - episode recorded Saturday, December 19, 2020 Today we discuss: Current Events: Jim Cramer, that wacky guy, blocked me on Twitter.  Tesla’s action on Friday, its volume, and whether the buying spree of the index funds is over as Tesla is added to the S&P.  Bitcoin breaks through the 19,500 barrier, Rite Aid reports earnings and pops 22% in one day, Solar Winds was hacked by Russia (the military, fortune 500 companies, the government, even voting machines were involved) and the CEO tried to sell all his stock and possibly flee the country.  Jim Cramer named Reddit’s “r/wallstreetbets” on his show and now the “boomers” are flooding in.Meanwhile, McConnell and Pelosi get on the same side and work on Covid relief (or do they?)How To: Watching volume, unique sources of information (Reddit, Discord), breaking a “ceiling”, limitations to buying “puts” (bets against something), earnings announcements are opportunities.Trading Psychology:Yep, the waiting.  Definitely the hardest part. Is it over for Tesla?  We’re waiting to find out.  Monday morning quarterbacks (who know it all after the fact). Running time approximately 26 minutes. #howto #trading #options #stocks #bonds #investmentclub #Democrats #Republicans #Trump #Pelosi #McConnell #DonaldTrump #Election2020 $TSLA #Tesla $RAD #RiteAid $BTC #Bitcoin #JimCramer #Cramer @JimCramer #S&P #indexfunds #SolarWinds $SWI #hack #votingmachines #Dominion #boomers #Covidrelief #volume #ceiling #puts #calls #callgirlsinvestmentclub #earnings #Mondaymorningquarterback #waiting #psychology #stockmarket #wallstreetbets Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/CallGirlsInvestmentClub)

Rite-Aid hits close to $20 / share.  California water futures start to trade.  Bitcoin's wild swings.How To: The many various ways I researched Tesla: investing norms of index funds, prior price action when added to the Nasdaq, short interest, short interest ratio (don't believe the headlines), former ceiling of 600 now acting as a floor, calculations of amount of stock to be purchased in the 6 days around 12/21/2020, looking into an SEC filing on insider trades.  Why I bought $1000 and $750 calls in addition to my $650 calls.  Expiration dates.  Stocks that trade in ranges (like Rite-Aid).Trading Psychology:Reasons why some people may shy away from "sure thing" investments, even if all the homework has been done.  Is there "never" a sure thing?Running time approximately 33 minutes.
