been flipping out about Trump's tariffs and like railing on him....and that's with Trump basically making the Indexes go up 20% last year. Maybe there's a reason to be worried, but it's fucking hard to time the market, and this guy who sold this morning (if he's honest) just lost out on gainz.
## Speaker_1: ##
I feel like Trump is going to pull some 4D Underwater Chinese Checkers with how he's not backing down on tariffs. Trump personally feels responsible for the market improving since he's taken office, he would be dumb to impose tariffs that do nothing but make the market react badly and go down. He'll probably announce some dumb shit once enough traction has been made with tariffs like how he's reversed his decision and resigned into TPP or some shit just to fuck with everyone.
Guess we'll see in the next few weeks if this was all a ploy to force what he wants with global markets or if he's really just not that good at economic policies.
## Speaker_0: ##
TPP will not be signed into law. I don't think anyone is saying tariffs will be a boon for economy. But I think we should trust Trump, even as investors.
Lots over in /r/investing sold Friday and premarket today.
## Speaker_1: ##
The dudes at r/investing are dumb for selling. Just set a trailing stop loss or something if you have long shares. Literally impossible to get wrecked with shares unless you hold all the way down (or if you went all in on some dumb penny stock or biotech).
Hope the dudes on that sub have some backup plans for when the economy rips upwards and they sold in March.

i really shouldnt have to spell this out...but if your investing in gold leveraged etfs, your gonna lose. if thats what lost you 50 percent, i dont feel bad
## Speaker_3: ##
>i really shouldnt have to spell this out...but if your investing in gold leveraged etfs, your gonna lose.
For newfags, what's a gold leveraged etf?
## Walls1337bot: ##
jnug/jdst for the junior, more volatile variant
nugt/dust for the regular, ever so slightly less volatile variant
The first in those pairs is the bull (goes up 3x with gold) the second is the bear (goes down 3x with gold), which is to say they are inverse of each other. If you think gold will go up, you should own the bull, if you think gold will go down, you should own the bear. They rebalance daily which means that they undergo leverage decay, and are typically not a good hold for more than one day (on a long time scale they all have a negative expectation value).
The reason most people suggest to stay away from these securities, is that unlike majority of stocks/etf, people who trade gold 3x etfs will, on average, lose money (typically securities have positive expectation value). However, because they are very volatile leveraged gold/oil/etc etfs tend to make "rags to riches" stories (although typically it's riches to rags).

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.

You've got two options now:
Chase your high and lose most of that in other risky plays on the market in the coming months.
or
Diversify into solid stocks and ETFs and retire in 5 years, that's seriously life changing money at your age and you should now be thinking defensively.
## Speaker_1: ##
You can't retire on 300-400k at 25... not in this country at least. Swear y'all are acting like this dude is into 7 figures.
## Speaker_2: ##
You cant even retire at 20 with 1 million.
However, you definitely can retire early if you have 450k when you're 20. Invest it and work for a few decades and you can reasonably expect to have 2 million when you're 40 (7% growth per year with a 10k annual contribution).
## Speaker_3: ##
You can retire with 1 million easily.
As long as you have the $1M diversified in the markets, you can withdraw 3.5-4.0% of the total amount practically indefinitely since the S&P 500 has returned 9.8% annualized since basically forever. If you're frugal you can live on $35,000-$40,000 a year.
EDIT: [Here's proof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_study) for the autists thinking you need more to retire on.
## Speaker_4: ##
The people who say you can't retire on 1 mil are people who think it's inevitable that you have to buy more expensive things all the time. Millions live their entire lives on 40k or less while killing themselves working every day and you're going to tell me you can't make it work when you don't have to do anything at all? Get out of here with that garbage.
## Speaker_5: ##
Another good point I saw someone make is that you’ll probably earn some extra money ( not enough to solely live on) doing side projects or jobs when you’re ‘retired’. Because if you’re retiring early you’ve got a shit load of free time with fuck-all to do.
## Speaker_6: ##

what about their "cheaper" bikes? I'm a millennial and have never owned a bike but their iron 883's look really cool, and that's probably the only reason i'd buy it.

They have competition in this space. The 883 is gutless compared to the Yamaha Bolt, and the Bolt starts at $7k instead of $10k.
## Speaker_4: ##
There's a better and cheaper bike by another manufacturer for every type of bike HD builds.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Kind of true, but also to an extent there's a bit of a brand thing going on. You can make a somewhat reasonable argument that an MX-5 is a better, cheaper Boxter, but when you show up in the Porsche it feels more premium.
## Speaker_5: ##
There's nothing that feels premium about riding a Harley.

Because this whole phenomena is fascinating to me and worthy of discussion, hence a discussion post. I have frequently written longer posts (as comments not usually posts) on completely meaningless topics where no money was involved.

Russia exports less than 1% of what USA exports in soybeans. **LESS THAN 1 %!**
At least google export data. US controls almost 40% of global soy exports. Russia is not even in the top 10. Russia cannot replace US.
## Walls1337bot: ##

Weird. I had no idea police entered schools.
## Speaker_1: ##
They do. About 40% of schools have police “resource officers” or something to that effect. The worse part is that parents and kids don’t even know that they shouldn’t talk to them. With that said. Many people hardly know about not talking to police on the street. But it seems even fewer people know that about cops in schools.
Edit: what I meant by “talk” was in the context of an investigation. Not friendly banter or whatever.
## Speaker_2: ##
Not American and did not follow school shootings closely. Assuming your comment is not a joke, why should you NOT talk to cops?
## Speaker_3: ##
It's not just an American thing. Cops have a huge amount of power over you and a small percentage of cops are bad people who became cops to abuse that power. Talking to them will open up opportunities for them to fuck you over.
Basically talking to a random cop is roughly equivalnt of going into the woods at night with a random person. I mean sure most random people aren't going to murder you, but the one who wants to gets a big opportunity alone in the woods.
Cops are dangerous. More dangerous than any crime in my city at any rate.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> a small percentage of cops are bad people who became cops to abuse that power
You obviously don't know a lot of cops, I'd say 70% of cops are the last people you want to give that kind of power to, it's not an occupation that attracts the best and brightest.
Being a rich white guy, the only reason I know this is how many losers I grew up with that became cops, and then meeting their loser cop buddies. Even shitty cops will play it cool with the general public, they commit all their crimes against people who's word no one believes.

## Speaker_3: ##
One reason might be that the surgery is really not that effective for that problem. This is the case for many orthopedic surgeries for chronic problems, they're pretty much a gamble and have a significant risk to make things worse, which doesn't make them a priority compared to hip fracture surgery for the elderly for example, who will essentially die from sedentarism if they can't walk anymore. I'd be surprised that life-saving surgeries have a significantly worse delay in single payer systems.

Can someone explain what this means like im five years old. Ik WSB is harsh and going to cal me retrded. But mabye someone out there can help me? $119,000 is what he risked? What does calling 41 mean. When the price of the stock hits 41 hes going to buy that many shares? I have down-syndrome pls help
## Walls1337bot: ##
Calls are an option to buy the stock at that price.
So pretty much... (though not exactly) any amount the stock goes over that call price (he has a few 40/41/45) He starts making gainz.
## Speaker_0: ##
Thanks that helped but Whats the downside to calling. How much is the fee usually? why doesnt everyone always call.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Well the 'premium' you pay varies.. from a few cents a share, to a few dollars a share.. and calls have an expiration date.
If the stock doesn't go up high enough before the option expires..
You lose ALL your money.
Quick Example: (okay not so quick)
Stock XYZ is at $35
you buy a $40 call for 1.00 that expires in 30 days.
Calls are always for 100 shares. so it cost you $100. ($1 / share x 100) and then you own 1 call option.
Over the next 30 days.. that $1 per share you paid.. slowly ticks towards zero assuming nothing else changes.
Between now and 30 days.. if the stock goes up.. your $1 per share will go up..
if the stock goes down.. your $1 per share will go down.
You can sell the option during that 30 days.. and take whatever gain or loss you have at that time.
that $1 / share is 'time value' the less time you have for the stock to go up... the less value that option has to you.. eg.. an option for 100 days.. wow long time for stock to go up.. higher chance of that..
option for 1 day... uh yeah not much chance the stock will move much on a typical day.
Back to example:
Now at the end of 30 days.. XYZ has to be at $41 or more for your option to be worth anything.
Because it allows you to buy shares @ $40.. so if you buy the 100 shares with the stock @ $40 at the end.. you just lost the $1 per share you paid for the option.
buy 100 shares for $4,000 - Sell For $4000 = 0... minus your initial $100 :(
If at the end the stock is @ $41.. you break even.. you can buy 100 @ 40.. and and turn around and sell @ 41 and you just made $100... which is what you paid for the option in the first place.
buy 100 shares for $4,000 - sell for $4100 = $100 - minus your initial $100 = 0. :/
Lets say XYZ Stock @ 42... you just made $100, on your initial investment of $100 huge gainz
buy 100 shares for $4,000 - sell for $4200 = $200 - minus your initial $100 = $100!!
Now all that said... rarely do people exercise the contracts (do the actual buy/sell of the shares).
Now lets pretend its half way to expiration.. 15 days have gone by..
The time on your option is now half gone.. so it dropped to .50 / share BUT XYZ stock is at $45 woo.
So like we saw above.. buy then sell 100 shares buy @ $4,000 Sell @ $4500 = $500 profit..
or $5 per share.. BUT you still have .50 cents of time value left.. so your option is now worth $5.50
You could sell it on day 15 for $550
Hopefully that makes it clear just substitute in the theoretical stock price.. and you can figure out what you might gain.. But again if the stock doesn't go high enough.. fast enough.. you lose all of your $100 you spent for the option.
Edit: In reality there are a number of other factors that go into the price of the option.. like Volatility interest rates etc..
but the basic principles are the same
Khan academy has good videos on this
## Speaker_1: ##
Are there short selling options?
## Speaker_2: ##
There’s put options, which are similar to calls except you’re hoping for the price to go down rather than up
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yes... you can buy options... or sell options (shorting)
Selling options has extremely high / unlimited risk in many cases..
(there are complex strategies that limit your risk) but selling a call... means you might have to deliver 100 shares of the stock.. in practice sure.. usually stocks don't go to infinity.. but still high risk

They are literally in last place when it comes to self driving technology. Waymo is light years ahead of them, shit even bmw is way ahead of them.

Boom. No body needs a fuckin taxi anymore because everyone fucking owns a robot taxi.

Actual good advice? Certainly does not belong here
## Speaker_1: ##
Not really. Businesses cost time and require capital. At 19 the best time and wealth investment is focusing on your work. Then when you're not a retarded shit 19 year old and got 80k+ coming in, you can actually run a business right and don't have to worry about bankruptcy. At 19, the best bet is buying a 4br condo for school with parents credit and renting out 3 rooms.
## Speaker_2: ##
What line of work do you recommend a 19 year old go in cuz I don’t wanna be poor :-(
## Speaker_1: ##
Depends. Trades if you don't want to be in school a long time, but you'll be doing a shitload of hard and repetitive work. You'll be aching in pain at 40. Anesthesiology if you can stomach a nursing degree and a masters. Petroleum is a gamble but you can learn anything for that, get rich for a bit, and do the same work elsewhere if the market goes bad. They pay retarded salaries, I've heard of truck drivers making 150k. https://www.reddit.com/r/oilandgasworkers/comments/9wwe9p/what_do_you_do_and_how_much_do_you_make/
Otherwise, look for something here you could do. https://www.glassdoor.com/blog/50-highest-paying-college-majors/. It sounds cheesy as shit, but do find something you could at least halfway enjoy. If money is the only motive, think of it in terms of being able to work more years and get more promotions if you don't hate your job.

Market goes up and this sub turns into r/T_D. Market goes down and this sub turns into r/all. I love it.
## Speaker_1: ##
Not exactly. My current theory is that this sub is split 50/50 against Trump, and when one side looks better they speak up and the other side shuts up and vice versa. So it gives the illusion we're all bandwagons.
## Speaker_2: ##
It's mostly pro trump. Clinton/Bernie supporters don't have any money to invest.

And yet the stereotypical trump supporter is also labeled as poor (and white and rural).
Apparently everybody supporting any candidate is poor, judging by the stereotypes.

$50,000-$100,000 income voted 50% Trump, 46% Clinton. It was the biggest margin of victory for Trump vs any other income group.
It's complicated because if you look at education attainment, the higher you make it through college, the more likely you were to vote for Clinton. However, the higher you make it through college, the higher your wages are.
So really, it's just a quirk of statistics. We can actually glean something from this.
People who have attained lots of education, BS+, but have not attained a high income for whatever reason *overwhelmingly* supported Clinton.
People who have attained high income, despite having less than a BS in education attainment, *overwhelmingly* supported Trump.
It's the only way to really get the numbers we are seeing from the exit polling data.

Not sure why this is happening, but premium tendies for everyone. On a serious note, my plan was to hold until 13th-14th for the zen reveal. What are your guys' exit points?

## Speaker_1: ##
I was holding Dec 16 $9 calls and I chickened out and took the gains today. Going back in for longer term options before the 13th.
## Speaker_2: ##
Just FYI your posts about the $37k in options you had previously and your other comments convinced me to buy at $6.09. Bless you, my child. You think this'll cross $20+ in the next year or two if Zen works out?
## Speaker_3: ##
Yes.
https://www.cpubenchmark.net/market_share.html
Hard to say how accurate it is, but there's no doubt that Intel has a huge lead over AMD in both desktop, laptop, and server market. AMD doesn't need much to increase sales by a whole fucking lot.
While Intel doesn't see Zen as a major threat, they still expect [a disruption in 2017](http://blogs.barrons.com/techtraderdaily/2016/12/05/intel-morgan-stanley-encouraged-by-renduchintalas-pragmatic-influence/). And Intel expecting that is quite big.
I'm holding my shares. Not selling yet by any chance. Will be interesting to see Vega getting closer to launch as well with some leaked benchmarks. We all know Polaris sold a shitton and it'll be interesting to follow the first HBM2 card on the market. 4k >60 fps gaming here we come.

a) merger happens and yay tendies
b) merger denied, baghold and wait for the next buyout suitor
What I didn't consider is... well, *this* shit.
## Speaker_1: ##
Shareholders get fucked in asset sale. Sure they can pay off 75% of the debt but now have half the stores left to generate revenue. Now any future buyout will be shit because half the stores. At least they get to keep their pharmacy benefit shit. Clearly RAD management had this as backup plan, CEOs still get bonus but sh get screwed. I sold at $2.95. Good luck to all that baghold, I hope it recovers for ya'll
Edit: And to top it all off this new deal still needs FTC approval lol
## Speaker_2: ##
Exactly. Everyone gets screwed except the executives with this deal. Shareholders, employees, etc. Walgreens was going to pay $7 billion and take on that RAD $8 billion debt - so basically they valued RAD at $15 billion when you consider the debt. Now RAD loses half its assets but basically for a third of the price, rather than half.
The new deal seems to value RAD at only a little over 2 billion (5*2 = 10 billion, subtract the 8 billion debt for all the stores). That doesn't look good at all. The Rite Aid execs seem retarded to have agreed to that.

You're right though. If you're just gonna play Tesla it's a fun stock.

If you're looking for a quick 10% bounce back up I suppose it may be worth the chance but if any type of good news comes out about how successful the dating feature is for FB within that small time-frame Match is gonna get crushed.
I was HUGE on Match as my long term best play in my portfolio until this news broke. Online dating is massive but FB just wrecked them the moment that happened.
I like Netgear as a solid play with gaming companies looking good and 5G networks on the horizon. US is also banning Chinese tech so Netgear may get a huge bump from that too.

Not talking about investment here. We just want a good quick gain and leave the fuck out.

I get that but why bet on mtch taking a bounce rather than fb. You're banking on mtch going up faster than fb after bad news.
Too much risk. You ca probably bank on fb being up 3% this week and if some shit goes south it's a safe long bet.
You would need match to go up over 3% this week with a falling knife. Whsts the ceiling, 10%? I say fb is the safer play with more upside to match the same profit percentage
## Walls1337bot: ##
Thus it’s called bet not investment! Negative news was overblown. FB has not eating their marketshare yet but market already priced that in. Wtf is that lol.

I disagree. AAPL hasn't traded below its 20-day moving average in two-months and is up since their last earnings report, which was also negative. I think even if earnings are inline with expectations AAPL continues its climb.
It may drop the day after earnings, but I wouldn't expect a negative week.

How about companies just stop providing quantitative forward guidance. That way you don’t have $500B companies dropping 20% on an otherwise solid earnings report.
## Speaker_1: ##
Most companies do not provide forward guidance (down to about 1/3 in the SP500)
## Walls1337bot: ##
Do you have a source for that? That sounds unreasonably low (that only one-third of companies in the S&P 500 provide forward guidance)
## Speaker_1: ##
It was from a recent Bloomberg article on forward guidance
## Walls1337bot: ##
I see it now: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-06-07/here-s-a-good-reason-to-end-quarterly-guidance-it-doesn-t-work
I'm still skeptical though, that sounds way too low.

Your strategy is to short the euro? That IS pretty risky... You're betting, not investing. Especially considering the Paris Accord news means a stronger relationship between every country BUT the US.
## Speaker_1: ##
The Euro. You know, their money. Relative to ours. We're not talking about shorting equity here.
## Speaker_0: ##
If you don't see how holding USD/EUR as your only investment is a risky strategy then gtfo
## Speaker_1: ##
US dollar has been going down for 6 months. Do you have any idea what US stocks have been doing over that time?
## Speaker_0: ##
Going up because our dollar is weaker and stock prices are adjusting to that? You can't possibly not realize the risk associated with only holding one security, could you?
## Speaker_1: ##
If you want to ask questions, do you have any idea what modern portfolio theory is? Also please stop editing your posts after the fact when you realize they make no sense.

Okay pick one security and sit in it for 45 years and lmk where you end up. RemindMe! 45 years

70% of thanksgiving weeks since 1997 have been bullish, the day before and after thanksgiving tend to be bullish. I think we will have a green week to start then weakness after thanksgiving
Source : https://www.cxoadvisory.com/4366/calendar-effects/stock-returns-around-thanksgiving/
## Speaker_1: ##
Have 70% been preceded by the shit show we've seen for the last 2 months?
## Speaker_2: ##
Yeah the real question is what % of years since 1997 have been a fucked to death 45 day long october and how many of them were donald and xi no longer instagram besties for.
## Speaker_1: ##
Exactly. Pence just shit on China so who knows if that'll carry any weight on Monday. Retail is off. WMT and Nordstrom reported shitty earnings. If TGT and Lowes report down then it'll be a red week IMO.
## Walls1337bot: ##
How is beating expected EPS by $1.01 (Walmart) “reporting shitty earnings”?

For us noob bagholders who are working in food services and waiting to get our rent money back, how long would you say, conservatively, we have to wait to see this stock breaking through to mid-32's again?
## Speaker_1: ##
Depends on whether there is a tech rally next week
## Speaker_0: ##
So if the stock goes up next week, then next week the stock will be up. Got it.
## Speaker_1: ##
No, it depends on the sentiment of tech, not the stock by itself.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Pretty much. I expect a tech rally with in one to two weeks.

Fellow fidelity bro.
## Speaker_1: ##
How do people deal with the commissions?
## Speaker_0: ##
Its really simple. You just dont be poor and your trade sizes are big enough that the commission isnt even noticeable
## Speaker_1: ##
I just don’t like the idea of getting shafted from the get go, when all I’m trading are wsb FD recommendations
## Speaker_0: ##
To each their own. I pay for a much better trading interface, ability to do all of my banking through their cash management accounts (including their 2% everything cash back credit card), great customer service, and security of having actual branches I can go into if I have an issue. If none of those things are important to you then I wouldnt pay the commission either if I was you.
## Speaker_1: ##
I have them too, I’m just dabbling in options havent traded much. I usually avoid their 4.95 charge by buying fidelity ETF’s

My wife is currently holding 500k in cash. Has been blindly saving in a 2% account for about 3 years now. She buys rental properties nearly all cash and thinks leveraged rentals are higher risk.
She absolutely refuses to do 5 year longs or any form of trading because her brother and mother have "lost it all" in the stock market. I badgered her for the last two years about playing long ETF's and force fed her a bunch of ETF propaganda. She likes to read fortunes and found out that this year I am supposed to make a huge financial gain and was ready to buy in but my losses this year evoked her mistrust of the market.
I realized too late that I married a high functioning autist. It physically hurts me that she is holding that much cash in a fucking savings account.
## Speaker_1: ##
Your wife is sitting on 500k and a couple income properties while you’re losing money... and you’re calling her an autist? Definitely divorce her bro... let some other sucker retire early and buy a yacht while you yolo on weedstocks until AMD hits 9000
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm slightly less autistic than /u/theocletian. I call dibs on his soon to be ex-wife. I'll encourage her to continue what she's doing. Its clearly better than w/e WSB recommends.
## Speaker_0: ##
I am being 100% serious for the first time on this sub. Let me list the things that she does to be able to save that money.
* Reuse paper towels. Yup, she hangs them up to dry and uses them over and over.
* She drove a Yaris until some guy hit her at like 15 mph and it totaled the car not because the impact was severe, but because the thing was just that worthless in value. Her car before that was a Toyota Echo that more or less blew up randomly.
* I did not know 1-ply toilet paper existed before I met her
* She has returned groceries before and gotten refunds
* All lights are out by 7pm right after dinner. She goes to bed at like 8pm which actually isn't bad because I can just play my computer games in the dark. But still, I have to use the flashlight app on my phone to walk around my own damn house.
* Always does taxes by hand. Maybe not that extreme to some, but I always use Turbotax so watching her do it manually makes me want to slit my wrists.
* Dollar Tree is her home base
* She fought me tooth and nail when I wanted to hire some people to trim the massive bushes in front of the house. I gave up and went to Lowes to buy some hedge trimmers to do it myself and I come home to see her out there with a fucking pair of scissors and one of those saw-blade style kitchen knives going at it. She made me return the trimmer.
* She was the greatest slave master when we did renovations to the house. I had bought the house before we met, but it wasn't in the best shape to begin with and as a first-time homeowner I wasn't exactly good at the upkeep. We did all of the gutting, cutting, flooring, painting, etc. ourselves for the entire fucking house. It took two full years to complete and I think I actually cried once when I suffered a really bad frostbite (or so I thought at the time) while patching a plastic covering over our 3-season porch window during the middle of a snowstorm.
* I had to keep the house at 50 degrees at night or up to 55 when we were active around the house in the winter in New England.
* I am actually somewhat autistic (self-diagnosed) and bought one of those weighted blankets. She made me return it and sowed me a blanket weighed down by what I can only assume are extremely old beans. She also patches my clothing which I appreciate since I only have like 3 pairs of pants.
I mean, it is a decent life but it was quite a shock at first getting used to living together.

Dude, my ex is a lawyer and makes over 200k orders out every night, gets wasted brunching and drinking all weekend, rents a plush pad for over 3k, goes on fancy trips and stays and baller hotels..... hardly saves anything and owns nothing.

just exercise the options and hold shares until price goes back up. why you buy calls if you don’t want the shares? ��
/s
## Speaker_1: ##
could this be a way to limit downside risk of call options?
buy a 35 call but still exercise even if it's like 33 and that way you still get the shares even if you lose $200 in value
then if the stock price ever rises above 35 you're good
like a reverse put
## Speaker_2: ##
Why exercise and buy at 35 when you could buy at 33
## Speaker_1: ##
if you exercise every option then you never really lose you just buy things in the future. it's a way to look at it so that you can ignore the greeks and instead use options solely for leverage
## Speaker_3: ##
Sounds like you’re ready to start trading options on margin
## Speaker_1: ##
this lets you 100x tho basically since you're getting 100 stocks for the price of 1 contract as long as you make the money to cover the call in the interim then it's like buying them in the future and the premium is like the interest on the loan. a call contract is just saying you're going to buy 100 stock. if you always execute then you can ignore the greeks and simplify the math
it just turns into a hedge against a drastic price increase

First play that actually worked for me 100% (unless I dont sell due to greed and lose it all).
It's also bad that this is an 90C FD that worked lol.
The question is, do I hold through ER? It's ITM obv, but how deep will it be tomorrow morning? Enough to offset IV crush (bought an FD afterall).
## Speaker_1: ##
depends if your strike price is ITM. Or else, expect the IV crush after earnings.
## Speaker_0: ##
Here comes a very newfag question.
Does an option contract being in the money reduce IV crush.
I apologize for my autism.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yes very much so.

Just took profits for $128. I know peasant money, but so happy to finally have a solid win!
Will be happy to have had profits at all (even if it shoots up more)!
## Walls1337bot: ##
No worries. I'd tell you to roll those to BXC but it's probably a day late
## Speaker_0: ##
I see they've had a meteoric run. Late indeed! I'm thinking of entering a position again on Paypal in the event of a dip/sell off today (throwing a day trade at it). How WSB to potential lose a win ��
## Walls1337bot: ##
Take the win and find a new trade. Don't FOMO buy
