Damn, they're recommending a JAN 140 straddle on LULU. I was hoping to go for calls, but I'm really unsure of impact of tariffs, etc like they note.
## Speaker_1: ##
Fundamentally, Puts make more sense for LULU, not to mention the broader market momentum lately.
## Speaker_2: ##
LULU seriously blows my mind. 18bn market cap...for athleisure bullshit clothes...seriously wtf? It is a white girl stock and by nature that defies reason.
## Speaker_3: ##
Their pants are like $300 though, shirts are over $100. That shit can't cost more than like $2 to make, the profit margins are ridiculous.
## Speaker_4: ##
No lie, once girls realize they can just trampstamp the lulu logo onto themselves they can go back to buying cheap leggings. Would break even after two pairs. Short LULU
## Speaker_5: ##
LULU shirts and sweatpants have a much better fit than Nike and Adidas. Their profit margins might be high, but there is a reason why bitches love LULU. It's not like some Asian trying to look cool in Supreme, LULU has the best to offer in their niche market. The founder hates the word athleisure so I will respect him.
## Speaker_6: ##
No but seriously why the fuck does anyone spend money on that Supreme garbage?

Instead of belittling you, I actually applaud you.

2. Sticking with your same stragety, waiting around for some vol to buy back in (election cycle)
3. Not spending your money
4. Trading fucking options instead of ETFs
It must be xanax talking but good job kid. I can only say this, using the same strategy will eventually burn you, as it has countless traders in the past. As young as your age (18 or 19?) I thought some advice would be helpful:

SO DONT END UP IN A SITUATION WHERE YOU MAKE A BUNCH OF MONEY IN 2016, THEN LOOSE IT ALL IN 2017. YOU WILL STILL NEED TO PAY YOUR 2016 TAXES, AND THE IRS WILL DILDO DICK YOU FOR NOT BEING ABLE TO DO SO.

Boys, listen up.
We've got someone who's got BOOTS ON THE GROUND inside of a mother fucking HIGH SCHOOL, where entire nations economies are either made, or are catastrophically destroyed.
The fact that you all are berating him sickens me. He's got his ear to the ground, he hears what all these 16 year old kids whisper in the halls about what they think they want to major in in high school, that Brittany's tits got bigger over summer, that lunch today is fucking chicken patties again. He sees all of it. No bullshit economic reports, secondary sources citing models and data that are probably just all made up anyway, who cares.
The point here is the storm is brewing. Just the other day, both Brent and Dave said "I think I want to major in CompSci idk". Soon it will be everyone.
And as OPs flawless logic says (again, how are you missing this?) if everyone majors in CompSci our country will be a post apocalyptic wasteland. There will be no doctors, construction workers, teachers, accountants. They will all just be looking for tech jobs that DO NOT EXIST. And you might say well, in an oversaturated job market, wouldn't someone just be economically incentivized to follow another career path?
And the answer is yes, OP stop [posting in hentai subs](https://www.reddit.com/r/hentai/comments/4mg6yh/itou_life_laying_down/) and [saying nigger on the internet](https://www.reddit.com/r/WhiteRights/comments/4rssx9/the_shooters_from_today_are_niggers/) and skip straight to killing yourself.

For me... I stopped trading for about 3 years.
Built up the "real portfolio". Now I had a sizable portfolio and automatic contributions to this portfolio. This continues to grow.
I spent my time reading and figure out why my covered calls on $AGNC (yielding like 19%) didn't work. I made the trade with a 0% loan from my CC. That was the best $3,000 mistake I have ever made.
Watching the market and writing down your thoughts (and ugh... feelings), without trading and then with trading, gives you something to look back on and see when your emotions are overriding your logic.
Pick some stocks you like and are bullish on. Sell some puts. You're getting paid to set a limit order. This is a decent way to get your toes wet. Do it on some blue chip stocks to start. Branch out from there.

I think it will stay high actually. And if facebook wanted to buy it, they would have done so already...
## Walls1337bot: ##
I just don't see how it can stay high. I'll get serious for this comment and go out of wsb character and explain why I believe it. Their valuation is based mostly off of hype and their large active user base. Snapchat and Instagram are used for predominantly different reasons. Most people consider snapchat to be more personal in nature. You use it to send goofy drunk pictures to your friends. Instagram can be more of a professional user experience, you use it to build your personal brand or whatever the fuck.
The largest way for snapchat to generate any profits is through advertising, and maybe they start charging fees on snap send (their money transfer platform), which only dumb teenagers use to get nudes from camwhores.
Personally I'm already pissed when I get a random ad for turbo tax on how to fill out a w-2 at the end of someones story. The other way they make money now is from the buzzfeed type tabloids that post their "news" on snapchat too, which not a lot of people watch, are kind of difficult to navigate, and pretty annoying. And considering they have yet to release concrete financials, we only have estimates as to what their revenue actually is as of right now.
The only thing driving the price increase is effectively that its a new IPO that people are excited about. And popularity doesn't equate to profits. I'm not saying the stock will tank, but rational thought will catch up to the hype and I think that growth will level off next week when we get some financials finally. If their revenue stream doesn't grow, in the next quarters, interest is likely to go down.
They've turned down facebooks offers because the CEO wants to keep full control, which is understandable. Even large investors won't get board votes on the new IPO. But I predict stagnating growth in the future, which might make certain investors back out, and certain revenue streams dry up, creating the potential of a buyout.
But it's absolutely a safe short term option until the financials come out, and I'm absolutely taking advantage and shorting a decent volume until then.

Just curious but what makes you think this?
## Speaker_0: ##
I'm entirely convinced that the whole operation was a bear raid, and this is coming from someone who short sells quite a bit.
He has a bunch of pages like this in his report.
https://imgur.com/a/GjiG85R
Stuff like this
https://imgur.com/a/MGOMczA
Crap like this. Skull and crossbones? Really? Feels like sensationalism, in my personal view.
https://imgur.com/a/pwsxjIA
And utterly ridiculous shit like this -
https://imgur.com/a/Krdx0x6
The guy that put this together (Markopolos) is a CPA evidently. Taking that last picture into consideration, one can only logically surmise that
1. he literally does not understand the difference between operating margin and ROIC,
2. or he does, but he's deliberately misleading the reader for purposes of market manipulation
But what's more, specifically concerning the content within the report...
Markopolos said that the Kansas Insurance Regulators would tear GE to shreds, and then the Kansas Insurance Regulator itself came out and said (in kinder terms) [that markopolos is clinically retarded and doesn't understand insurance](https://www.reinsurancene.ws/kansas-regulator-disputes-fraud-allegations-against-ge-reinsurance-unit/)
And then Goldman came out and said that GE's LTC insurance reserves [compared favourably to peers](https://www.barrons.com/articles/goldman-sachs-gives-a-thumbs-up-to-ges-insurance-reserves-51566316293).
GE has enormous problems, but this guy is just bear raiding plain and simple.
## Speaker_2: ##
You found those articles more credible than Markopolos' report and his record? It seems to me that GE could come out literally at any time and put all this to rest by just showing the books. They still refuse.
## Speaker_0: ##
what do you mean "show their books". They do show their books.
## Speaker_2: ##
What I mean is specifically refuting each of Markopolos' claims and demonstrating WHY his conclusions are wrong. All anybody has done is come out and smear this guy without addressing any of the claims. And they don't show everything in their books. Their accounting is unreadable by almost anybody. Culp himself came out and said GE possessed 60+ billion in off book assets
## Walls1337bot: ##
Markopolos is not a CPA. He is a Chartered Member, a CFA. Huge difference. He 1000% knows #1 that you pointed out. #2, I really hope not because I've got my ass riding on GE going down - morso on Marko being right and following thru. Even though it may seem to have gotten quiet, I still believe the guy (personal opinion) and think he's got them in a really bad situation.
GEs response was getting board members, institutional investors, and banks w/ an interest in them staying afloat to buy a bazillion shares and block the sell pressure from causing a crash. Billjorth is correct, if they were innocent of this shit, they would have brought their books forward, said "Here, look at this. Here is where Markopolis is a fucking liar and a retard. We are innocent and operating w/in regulation, so fuck you." Then, they would sue Marco for corporate slander, report him to the SEC for MM, grab some popcorn, and watch as Markos charter gets revoked and he gets sent to prison - taking the reputation of himself, his career, his family, and his profession w/him. Until exactly that happens, I think GE is fucked but clearly there is more to be revealed from this case.

## Walls1337bot: ##
>You can't make a list with only 2 numbers
Austism, and right. Repeal and replace doesn't inherently mean making 54 million Americans not have health insurance ten years out, or increase the debt by trillions ten years out. Not inherently.
But that's what *this* bill would do. All while only lowering premiums by 10% (when compared to Obamacare's trajectory) *after* over a decade of raising them (compared to Obamacare's trajectory). So this was a shit-ass version of repeal and replace, and that's all it's going to be if the GOP keeps collapsing under the weight of its own divisions and inadequacy.
Oh, and this bill was going to limit coverage and possibly even remove the provisions for staying on parents insurance till 26 or covering prexisting conditions, if the Freedom Caucus would have voted yes if those stipulations were repealed.

No, the MRA move would be to create an ETF called HE, which would be made up of all the SNP500 companies that are not a part of the underlying of this ETF
And guess what, when you compare the performance of the SNP500 to SHE, SHE underperforms. Which means you can outperform the market simply by investing in a market cap weighted index of male-dominated-leadership companies.

Where did you get your money in the first place?

Same as most other people. Working for it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
i don't think i will have made a million in total before taxes before I'm 45-50 years old... forget about being able to like, actually retain any of that as savings. on the up-side, i should hopefully at least be debt-free by the time I'm 30-35... unless I hope to one day "own" a house.
## Speaker_0: ##
Who knows. I’m 31. Last year I made 850k before taxes. 400 from trading and 450 ish from consulting work but it burned me out.
## Walls1337bot: ##
yeah... see, i made the mistake of going to engineering school... and then *actually going into engineering work*.
should have finished engineering school and just gone into finance. problem is that engineering school burned me out by the time i was like, 21, and now i never want to work hard or put in insane hours on anything ever again...
what sort of consulting do you do?
## Speaker_2: ##
lol I made the mistake of going into science. wtf was I thinking.
## Walls1337bot: ##
yeah but you can't feel like you got cheated at least... because nobody ever said you'd have financial stability and success in that field. EVERYBODY for like, all of time, has said that engineering is about the most sensible and excellent track to go if you're really bright and capable and wanted to have a good career and stable/safe family.
fucking *wheeeeze*. I'm gonna be broke for a while... my classmate took a position straight out of school paying $85k... in LA... so he has like fucking 5 roommates just to scrape by. that feel when making $85k as an engineer when you're like 23 years old, and you have to have 5 fucking roommates in order to be able to afford to live within 3 hours of where you work. we're fucked.
## Speaker_3: ##
What type of engineering major did you complete? I was in the midst of completing my M.E. at Kettering University before back issues caused me to drop out. Going back does not seem all too favorable anymore after seeing posts like this. If you were me would you complete the M.E. and just start making a salary or is there a better route you are aware of to making a good salary in a steady field? Sorry if this is too personal
## Walls1337bot: ##
i would say complete it regardless. having an engineering degree is gold. going into work as an engineer in the midwest... not so much.
but that degree is basically a golden ticket to almost any entry-level position in most fields that are remotely technical or value problem-solving and intelligence at all. that doesn't mean it will get you anywhere in those fields... but it can get you a job in many places.
problem i've run into is that everybody wants to employ engineers, and nobody wants to pay engineering wages. engineering is no longer what it was... now CS is the thing that people expect to pay money for. businesses and people in general seem to just expect that they can get engineers like you'd have expected to get marketing and sales interns 10 years ago.

The crazy thing to me is that NFLX’s valuation is still unfuckingbelievably high.
Edit: after doing a bit more research, I’m 100% shorting NFLX at open on Monday. I’ll cover when its at the gap fill of $227.79
## Speaker_1: ##
Except I would pay many multiples more for Netflix than I pay right now.
I pay almost 10x for cable what I pay for Netflix and I watch Netflix 10x more often
## Speaker_0: ##
That’s neat - it has literally no bearing on whether or not NFLX’s valuation is insane. It is almost 3x more expensive on an ebitda basis than amazon despite almost identical gross profit margins and expected top line growth rates.
## Speaker_1: ##
Except amazon has no room to charge their existing customers immediately twice as much.
Netflix has significantly more room to raise revenue without having to add customers. Which "literally does" have an impact on stock price because it adds more upside for revenue growth"
I'm not saying they aren't overvalued, merely that I and many others would pay significantly more for Netflix than we do right now.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah I know what you mean. I've cut cable for years, just use an amazon fire stick with Netflix + hulu for everything I need. The only thing cable has left is sports and I'll tough it out until a good viewing alternative comes out for that.

You mean you invested your emergency fund instead of keeping it in an Ally 1.4% savings account?

I invested my 12k emergency fund and i'm up to 25k right now(I trickled a few more k in, maybe 16k total of my own money). I'd say it was well worth.
Whats wrong with that?
## Speaker_2: ##
If you lose your emergency fund, you’re fucked. The whole point of an emergency fund is to have liquid equity that can be used instantly in an emergency.. you clearly don’t have an emergency fund if it’s tied up in investments. Nothing wrong with that, I wouldn’t call that an emergency fund though

And what if the market takes a 20% shit for the month. Are you gonna sell low?

Its an emergency. If the market took a 20% dip tomorrow would you still have made more than 1.45%. I dont leave 100% in three market, leaving 6 months of my life in a 1.45% account is dumb.
To edit though I'm in my twenties. I'm low risk and single. A credit card with my investments as backup (not in XIV) is perfectly sustainable. If it dropped 20% I'm young I figure it out.
I'd rather use my credit card for those sweet points anyway.

Oil futures seem fine. His words don't move the markets like they used to.
Nobody that matters cares anymore.
## Speaker_1: ##
ikr, oil prices got lower in Obama's term as well. Trump doesn't do shit to Oil prices.
## Speaker_2: ##
The reason for low oil prices during Obama's term stemmed from the fact that there was really slow inflation. With lower prices of oil, that reflects slower inflation. Of course, no country wants to deal with hyperinflation.
This isn't a 100% measure, but it gets close. Some may argue we are exp. deflation - I don't know, but lower prices are beneficial to aiding growth.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Uhh no it was the boom in shale oil drilling that vastly increased supply.
## Speaker_3: ##
It was really the Gulf overproducing to undercut shale oil drilling.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Shale dropped the price, OPEC didn't cut supply to preserve market share, and eventually shale became mostly unprofitable... but only so long as the price stayed relatively low.
## Speaker_3: ##
OPEC wanted to reduce competition from shale and since their break-even price is much lower they were able to maintain production (and even increase it in some cases) and not take much of a hit while also killing the shale oil industry (at least until the price rises again).
## Walls1337bot: ##
Right, OPEC can still make a profit at the lower price while shale can't, but they're still making a lot less profit than they were pre-shale, and have effectively self-imposed a price ceiling to prevent most shale from coming back into production. Meanwhile everyone else gets relatively cheap oil compared to the last decade or so.

They’re trying to margin call me now after they erroneously credited my account +$65k yesterday and I traded about $3k of it at 9:30AM thinking it was real.

Haha I’m waiting for my call. I got 30k. Bought all stocks with it. Nothing yet.
## Speaker_0: ##
Jesus. I should have bought stocks but I bought $TSLA calls. I might make enough today to get out this margin tho.
## Speaker_1: ##
My account is locked and I can't place any orders to exit to cover the margin. I did find my calls that sold yesterday in the options chain so it seems they were legit trades.
## Speaker_0: ##
Wow, wait, the crazy trades were real? Those funds should be ours then.
## Walls1337bot: ##
They traded calls as puts and puts as calls. I.e if you wanted to sell a far OTM call, RH sold a far ITM put instead.
They weren't "your trades" per se. Just a total and complete fuck up on their part. There are regulations in place protecting brokers from these clearly erroneous trades.

huh? It's called a carry-over, you don't lose that $22k, you'll just claim it over the next 8 years lol.
## Speaker_4: ##
Yup, I believe it is 4,500 a year.
## Speaker_5: ##
I'm an accountant, it's $3,000 not $4,500. Your losses offset any capital gain first and foremost, only after that can you have a loss reduce ordinary income. Say you had $10,000 in losses carried over from last year, had $4,000 in gains this year. This time around when you file, you will now have that $4,000 gain offset, and then the max limit of $3,000 for ordinary income offset. You will now be left with $3,000 carried over for next year.

I am going to make a little shrine for stop losses. It really sucked when they were hit today on live cattle but when you look at the limit up settlement I breath a sigh of relief.

Yah this is making no sense at all, about as silly as oil producers continuing to pump. Anyway my man, now that I'm out of my NVDA positions, I think that free cash is best used to short even more oinkers! My play tomorrow is likely going to sell both (some more) Aug as well as a few Oct lean hogs
## Speaker_0: ##
Ya I made a bad call on the cattle and I am not even sure of exactly why it happened yet. I apologize to my /WSB brothers and sisters who may have been stung like I was.
Moving forward I'll refrain from posting predictions and maybe just post the aftermath or just shitposts. Losing money of mine is OK but the guilt of others losing because of my bad call is real.
## Speaker_2: ##
Don't worry, corn will save us
## Speaker_0: ##
I've said it before and I'll say it again short grains is a great short live cattle hedge.
I decided not to buy more puts last night because I was starting to get a little nervous we were on the wrong dam side of the trade. But not nervous enough to long the futures as a hedge. It was a weird moment for me last night lol. I am so glad I didn't make two bad calls in a row.
Enjoy the corn gainz. :)
## Walls1337bot: ##
I was just about to say that you did call the top (and potential short opportunity in corn exactly). I added it to my watch list because of that, but didn't have a chance to do the due diligence because I was making some forex (CAD futures) and oil plays (long leading up to EIA numbers, sold before). Going to look into lean hogs now that I have some capital freed up.
I for one, hope that you continue to post your predictions. Your background provides you with insights into potential Ag plays that the rest of us need to research, so it's appreciated :) Also, respect for posting about both right AND wrong calls.

## Speaker_0: ##
Yes I do write for seeking alpha and I have a degree in finance. You kids have no idea how economics works so stop talking about shit you don't understand. Recessions cause economic activity to decrease, thus they lower the demand for oil (and most other commodities) and consequently the price falls.
Aka "supply and demand" this is common sense basic fucking economics you ape... stick to your video games.

Thinking of selling my ATVI shares and getting 250 contracts of Feb 15th $65 calls. We're at the edge of something really big, that much is obvious. From here SPY could either go into a freefall, or we could bounce from 260 and retest 280 again. Even though I don't believe in SPY long term, I also don't think we're going to see a recession soon. The bond yield curve moved further apart, and the 10 year is getting close to 3.0. It was obvious that we weren't coming back from a big correction without having a clear double bottom if you look at historical data.
SPY is going to be at a new correction low, so the risk/reward for buying puts is way too big. I'd rather YOLO on calls from here and hope for a bounce than go all in on puts and have Trump finally sign a deal a week later. Even if you guys don't believe SPY is going to do well, I think it's a great opportunity to play a potential bounce off the 400 dma or the previous low.

Why hasn't Moviepass filed for bankruptcy yet? Are their investors as retarded as we are and just love burning money?
## Speaker_1: ##
I lost a bunch on HMNY... I did, and still do think the idea of MoviePass is brilliant at its core... but shit, even my dumb ass got out back in ...April?
EDIT: After looking at the chart... it had to be earlier than April, it was still worth dollars per share, lol
## Speaker_2: ##
It's not brilliant... it's buying something for 20$ and giving it to your costumer for 10$. Unless they could force theaters to sell The tickets for cheap
## Speaker_3: ##
Google “directed advertising”
## Walls1337bot: ##
Facebook (one of the most targeted and directed advertising platforms in the world) gets about $12 a year per person (last time I read)
No way is movie pass gonna earn more then that each month.

Theres a runoff vote, I may be shit at math but at least I can read lmao

Where did I say there wasn't a runoff? Nice reading comprehension. Keep acting like getting 46% of the vote in a pool of 13 candidates isn't going to translate to the runoff against someone who got 18 million fewer votes lmao
## Walls1337bot: ##
Its because your analysis is retarded. The other two competitors that have taken the lions share of the vote are Social Democrats, no fucking way someone who praised operation condor is going to win their votes. Keep acting like you actually put any thought into this lmao

People who are good at analysis don't need a job as an analyst. They can just use that knowledge/ability to make money in the market. Stock Analyst is one of those jobs where anyone good at it doesn't want to do it. This is why nearly all analysts are next to useless.
Some of them are corrupt sure, but most of them just suck.
## Speaker_1: ##
A good example of the whole "those who can, do; those who can't, teach" thing.
## Speaker_2: ##
probably important to note decent college professors aren't there to teach.
stock analyst are there to entertain, not make you money
## Walls1337bot: ##
> probably important to note decent college professors aren't there to teach
Bingo. Good teachers are there to impart their working knowledge and experiences so that the students don't have to revisit/repeat history. This saves a lot of time and more efficiently increases the advance of collective knowledge and wisdom. You don't need a teacher to read words out of a book for you in a lecture hall. Most people can self educate by reading on their own. It's the acquired wisdom and experience where value exists for education.
## Speaker_3: ##
I think what he meant is that good professors are there for the research and not the teaching
## Walls1337bot: ##
I would have gone with smart instead of good in that case.

When Analfarmer is in class on a phone with robinhood and makes 3/4 of a million dollars lol
## Speaker_1: ##
he just googled, went with his gut and tapped the screen. OP's dad here trying to maximize every single pixel possible for his research. He aint one of us.
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm new here. Is this a story I've missed?
## Speaker_3: ##
u/analfarmer2 was like a teenager that grew his account to $750k and then lost it all in a matter of like 2 weeks
## Speaker_4: ##
Didn't he start with $100k tho?
## Speaker_3: ##
if you go all the way back you’ll see he started with $5k about a year ago, though his 2 week roller coaster that we all love him for didn’t start until he was in 6 figures sure.
## Speaker_1: ##
We dont love him no more. He sold before earnings and didn't inform us. I swear, that Wednesday, everyone was lowkey hyped including the mods. We thought he lost it all.
## Speaker_3: ##
this would actually be news to me i never heard that. how did you find that out? i was still under the impression he was dead lol
## Speaker_1: ##
some retard posted an update about a conversation he had with analman. 2-3 weeks ago.

Must've done some serious DD if you didn't even know the ticker symbol..
## Speaker_1: ##
Bazinga and Jim Cramer said the earnings will be good. Why do DD when other people did it for you
## Speaker_2: ##
Always inverse Cramer
## Speaker_3: ##
Always inverse WSB, so if WSB says inverse Cramer you verse Cramer.
## Speaker_2: ##
Verse like play him in a game of super smash?

You people can't possibly believe this is something you should still hold
## Walls1337bot: ##
Can you articulate why you believe that?
## Speaker_0: ##
The stock is down 57% from its high a week ago. This isn't based on one earnings it's based on a fundamental shift in the potential value of the equity. This traded at a further 35% discount prior to popping based on Trump hopes so we're not at any kind of bottom.
The nature of the stock has completely changed. There is no reasonable path to it having value. It's not going to be bought out because it's not a normal company. It's not going to make material distributions because the court just said you won't get anything out of it.
You have the entire weight of the government's forever policy of protecting it self standing in the way of value here. You've got giant tranches of preferred equity sitting in front of you as well.
More importantly you tell me why anyone should hold. I don't think having to justify the "why not" is more important here
## Walls1337bot: ##
Jesus, you have truly no idea what you're talking about, do you?
I'm holding because the court opinion essentially deferred all decision-making to the Director of FHFA and the Dept of Treasury led by Steve Mnuchin, who is a strong advocate for releasing the GSEs from conservatorship.
>It's not going to make material distributions because the court just said you won't get anything out of it.
False. The court said it's up to the Director of FHFA to manage conservatorship, and the powers given to him are extremely broad. Additionally, regarding the Fifth Amendment claim, the Court did not address it because of a procedural error on the part of Plaintiff's counsel. They basically argued the wrong thing.
>You have the entire weight of the government's forever policy of protecting it self standing in the way of value here.
False. In the event of a downturn, the government would be forced to draw from Treasury to bail out the GSEs.
> You've got giant tranches of preferred equity sitting in front of you as well.
Are you talking about the Senior Preferred owned by Treasury? I own a few issues of Preferred. In the unlikely event of a wind-down, there is no reason to think that the Preferred won't be paid out in accordance with liquidation preference at par.
## Speaker_1: ##
You pretend to know facts but you don't. Mnuchin cannot recap and release. Only congress can do that as it would require their approval. Congress took that power in the 2015 omnibus bill. And Mnuchin told congress he never said he supported recap and release, that he will seek a bipartisan solution, and that there will not be a giant bailout. Stop pretending this is a good investment. You're not smarter then Wall Street and they know Mnuchin better then you. Look at the stock price. If this was a good value, Wall Street would be snapping these shares up. They're not. Instead you morons are.
## Walls1337bot: ##
>Only congress can do that as it would require their approval.
False. The Court *just ruled* that Conservator actions are up to the Director of FHFA, and the NWS is a Conservator action, and therefore not subject to judicial review under the rule that the Plaintiffs challenged. It could be reversed at any time by the Director. If Mnuchin tells Watt "hey man, it's incredibly dangerous that the GSEs aren't allowed to retain capital, and if there's a downturn the taxpayer is gonna be on the hook, and we need to do something about this" then they can come together and allow FNMA and FMCC to retain capital. It's that simple, according to the opinion.
>Congress took that power in the 2015 omnibus bill.
A different Congress, under very different circumstances and priorities. This Congress needs to pass a new budget in March to avoid a government shutdown, that will supersede the 2015 omnibus package.
>And Mnuchin told congress he never said he supported recap and release
Not true. He said he didn't support recap and release as-is. He said he supports recap, release and *restructure* such that this doesn't happen again. That means "we need to get Fannie and Freddie out of the business of guaranteeing artificially low interest rate mortgages lent out to subprime borrowers under FHA programs."
>You're not smarter then Wall Street
*Than. Also almost all of Wall Street cannot invest in Fannie and Freddie if they wanted to because they're OTC securities. Also the risk profile of this trade does not align with most portfolio managers. Would you take this risk with your fund if it meant you'd never run another fund if you got it wrong? No way, they're content to satisfy their clients with other plays and take 2 and 20 off the top. I'm not running a hedge fund. I'm accountable only to myself. I don't have to worry about losing my fucking livelihood if this doesn't go my way.
>Look at the stock price
Indeed, look at it. Preferreds are trading at <30% of par. It's a bargain. Bigly bargain.
