This company has caused me much grief. As someone who entered the market around the age of 13 (am only 22), I saw pre-crash and post-crash life. I invested smart and held long.
...then I got introduced to options. Lost whatever I gained from investing long, lost more and more out pocket. Total losses from $GS? Nearly $2mm YTD. Doesn't count the losses parents incurred.
Are they crooks? Yes. They shorted the bad notes they sell to their own clients. Should you trust them? No. Should you work for them? Yep.
## Walls1337bot: ##
>Should you work for them? Yep.
Some of us care about ethics...
## Speaker_1: ##
Doesn't matter. You should go work for them to get an education, then leave to trade on your own.
## Walls1337bot: ##
There are other much better companies where you accomplish the same result. GS are just the most known company by people who don't really work in the industry.
Pick one of the smaller trading funds with a less hierarchical structure and you'll be given much more responsibility earlier...and learn faster as a result. Steeper learning curve though, but imo that's totally worth it. I'm not saying GS is a bad learning experience, just not the best pick.
## Speaker_2: ##
Which would you rather have on your personal resume? I'd imagine that Goldman as opposed to "some other smaller fund" would be of more benefit but maybe not?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'd MUCH rather work for someone like Omni Partners or BlueCrest...both much smaller than GS.
Ultimately it isn't just about a tick box on your CV, it's about how quickly you learn and the connections you make. Working for a somewhat smaller firm won't stop you from networking while often allowing you to learn quicker due to less hierarchy.
I now work for a PE company that partners with a major pension fund with almost 500bn under management. Wouldn't trade that for a job with GS if you held a gun to my head. Got way more responsibility than I'd get with a company like GS/JPM at my level...while at the same time still having the ability to network just as well as those guys.
At no point in my career was not having GS on my resume an issue...
I think the only reason I'd consider it is if I really wanted to work on IPOs...but I don't. Even then, I'd probably pick a competitor because I really can't stand GS ;)

## Speaker_1: ##
I needed $1000 for hospital bill, i borrowed $4000 with plan to pay the bill with $1000 and turn $3000 into $4000 on RH and cash out to pay him back
## Speaker_2: ##
Get a job and pay him back you piece of shit. Or at least make it look like an accident and name him on your life insurance.
## Speaker_1: ##
I work full time, maximum i can save up is $100 a week. I borrowed on 5th Oct and i promised to pay him back 5th Jan, I wish i had life insurance...
## Speaker_3: ##
So 10 months to pay him back, give him some peace of mind and pay him weekly~~, I'm sure overtime he'll be comfortable with the length of time~~. Don't fuck him out of $4k because he decided to be a good friend and you decided to be an idiot.
## Speaker_1: ##
The reason we set a date on the borrow is because he needs the money. I will give him my laptop, phone, $400 dollars i have and my dads watch which i really hope he wont take, but then again i deserved to lose it. And what sucks the most is that i will lose a friend.
## Speaker_3: ##
I fucking hope you're trolling because this just keeps getting worse and it's way past the point of being funny, even for internet bystanders in a sub dedicated to degenerate gambling memers.
Either way, if I was in your position I'd keep paying him until he gets the $4k back, regardless of whether he's still your friend.

They have a product that is highly desirable.
Contradictory to the bears conviction, this product is not so easy to develop and produce at scale.
Even if they stop innovating, they have a head start of ~2 years vs potential competitors.
The legacy automakers can't switch to EVs over night (if at all).
The ONLY question now is this- can they make a profit. If today's report categorically shows that- the bear case becomes irrelevant altogether.

## Speaker_1: ##
> I challenge you to name a more open Phone OS
The problem, according to the EU, is the lack of competition. Google has a 80% market share and uses that market share to force phone producers to install Google's search engine and browser. Microsoft and Apple don't have the market power to be relevant. That Google is the better of the three doesn't make this practice less anticompetitive. Google's search engine should be chosen because they are the better alternative, not because they are the biggest player in the OS market.

## Speaker_0: ##
I mean I think most people have known that it is inevitable; the article gives a 24 month range...I'm not really surprised by this
## Speaker_1: ##
Just to elaborate why you shouldn't sell TODAY even if a bear market occurs in the next 24 months.
Let's say it happens rapidly in 12 months time (a 10% decline), in theory markets will go up 7% in the next 12 months (as they always do on average), so you are looking at 7% gains and 10% losses, for a net loss of 3% (so minor quite frankly, markets can move that much in a single day). And over the next 12 months it erases the bearish moment entirely with another 7% gain.
## Speaker_2: ##
not that simple. 25,000 * 1.07 (7% gains) = 26,750; 26,750 * 0.9 = 24,075; whereas simply 25,000 * 0.97 = 24,250. and that's not that simple either, because of compounding percentages over time.
## Speaker_3: ##
You can go a bit deeper when you make a few assumptions, say for example that the number of months (X) until a crash is a random variable with uniform probability over the next 24 months p(X=x) = 1/24. Then the principal multiplier would be f(x) = c(1+r)^x where r is the monthly rate of return and c is the percent of money left after a crash (for example c = 0.9 for a 10% drop and r=0.00565 to get a monthly compounding rate equivalent to 7% a year). By "principal multiplier" I mean you multiply this number by the amount invested to see what you would have after, so above 1 are gains, below 1 are losses.
Then you can calculate the expected principal multiplier of continuing to invest with E[f(x)] = integral f(x) p(x) dx from 0 to 24. If you want to generalize to "a crash within m months" then this is an integral from 0 to m, and the definite integral after the calculus ends up being c((1+r)^m - 1) / (m ln(1+ r)).
So for example, given the parameters assumed by RalphWiggum4 (c = 0.9, r = 0.00565, m = 24), the expected investment multiplier would be 0.96373, meaning you would expect to lose almost 4% if you stay invested with these assumptions. Jumps to almost 15% if you assume a crash of 20% (c = 0.8).

I stayed in one in philly a few weeks ago through some company that had listings all over the city. Every listing was essentially decorated the same way with the same furniture. Then I googled their name...they have listings all over the country. They’re essentially operating a hotel chain through Air Bnb.
## Speaker_2: ##
Sounds like the result of healthy competition breaking into the market and providing a broader range of options and price points for the consumer, which is an objectively good thing.

Whats your DD on this
## Speaker_1: ##
I am Canadian. Almost everyone I know in Canada smokes weed or is against criminalization of recreational use. Not just hippies but regular working class people. Former Premiers of Provinces have come out in favour of legalization. The Liberal Government has said they are going to legalize it. Nothing is certain but chances are they will keep their word. CGC is the biggest player in the game. The stock is volatile but ultimately I think it will only go up. A lot. Canada will legalize Marijuana. It's only a matter of time. When that time comes, players like CGC will be the first ones the Government looks to.
I've heard that it might not be legal to grow it in your own home. That means that industrial scale operations that are equipped to produce millions of pounds of Marijuana will be required to feed demand.
This is the beginning of a new era.
TLDR: Weed is getting legalized in Canada. I'm long $CGC.

What’s your reasoning behind calling it a bubble?

A bubble is essentially something that is driven to an irrationally high valuation from speculatory exuberance....
The question isn't why I think it's a bubble..... The question is what possible rational is there for justifying the insane valuations.....
## Speaker_2: ##
I agree it's a bit hyped but why are the valuations insane? How do you judge something like that? What metric do you use?
It sounds like you don't understand the use cases for crypto. People find the technology useful so wouldn't that mean it has value?
## Speaker_1: ##
Im asking you to justify the valuation so I can respond.
## Speaker_2: ##
Supply/demand combined with the market cap. Just like how anything else is valued.
How do you justify the price of cheese? or gold?
One concrete example is that people in certain countries are using crypto instead of their local currency because their local currency isn't reliable or is worth very little. So that's one of many factors at play here.
I can't give you a specific valuation and I don't think anyone can. That's my point behind asking you to specify why you think the valuation is insane.

Banks playing a huge game of chicken right now. First one to go bankrupt loses.
## Speaker_0: ##
What do you think about the fed bailing the banks out again, only permanently with QE? At a certain point in the interest rate cycle and with such high levels of debt globally, the central banks are left with two options. Raise interest rates, to encourage saving. Or Inflate their way out of debt through cranking the presses...
## Walls1337bot: ##
I honestly studied banking and finance and I'm pretty sure nobody has a proper idea about why current consumer behavior is as it is.
QE isn't working (or it is and we'd be hilariously below 2008 crisis levels of economic activity).
Economy isn't picking up.
People are losing purchasing power but talking heads are shouting deflation worries?
It's a monetary shit show tbfh.
Where is all the money flowing into? Realistically? Who can actually offer ROI for the amounts of money we've been tossing into the system? You need projects worth investing in, governments clearly aren't it.
## Speaker_0: ##
I’ve been honestly thinking about that very question for a while now. Some inflation obviously went to equities.
But where did everything else go?
I’ve been thinking that the as the global economy has become interconnected, US dollar has been circulated to other parts of the world because it does not operate like a normal currency. It is also the worlds reserve currency. Surely exporting labour to China (which trump has been trying to undo) is the answer to that question? Look at the trade deficit all of the dollars are flowing to other places...
## Walls1337bot: ##
But that's never been different, historically? the US has always been a huge spender while China and Europe have had saving gluts.
Yet they are both also doing a QE policy and they aren't better off...

What the fuck why do u have all ur fucking money in a fucking biopharm stock that is testing trials what the fuck

obviously this was the trade that was going to make him a millionaire so that he could retire. everyone needs that 1 trade to push them through. It's hard to be a long term consistent profitable trader; he doesn't want to day trade his life away to make pennies.
## Speaker_2: ##
Even if the trial was successful, the stock lets say pops 50% then he nets a 400k win. you can't retire on 1.2mn
## Speaker_1: ##
Huh? no...NVAX had a market cap of about 2B before this decline. Assuming the trials were great...peak sales of the vaccine were estimated at 6-8B in just adults. Let's say conservatively sales would be half of that 3-4B. If they get bought out...plenty of companies will pay 3-8 times revenues for such a potential small bio tech company with an orphan/novel product. So, in this scenario....NVAX would probably be worth at least around 48$.
## Speaker_2: ##
Ok so lets say it went from 8 to 48. Is 4.8mn enough to retire on?...

fags, the market is going to bounce.if we close below SPY weekly 200 MA (235.65) for a day or two, buy calls because we will retest that support (new resistance), not to mention any prolonged bouncing will be because of mango man trying to save face, and depending on the level of glam contained, it may actually spark a sustained rally, wait a day depending on who says what on the twitter
Dont chase the puts if youre a fast money trader, if you missed the move, stay in cash and wait for a green day atleast. Sincerely, a bear whos been in cash and hating life
so yes, all in puts
## Speaker_1: ##
Newb here - thanks for the tips.
Still trying to understand what this means a bit. I think it's saying don't buy super expensive puts when the market keeps going down... wait for a day when it bounces up a bit, so puts can be cheaper, then buy puts?
But then there was also that part about buying calls because we're gonna do the bounce?

This was always a good long stock imo. You can either root for the evil cable companies or the up and coming cable-cutter companies.

semi truck unveil will be good in 1 month, just wait
## Speaker_1: ##
The first semi truck technology is going to be a bunch of smart-trucks following an actual driver (like a train, but with trucks on the road).
Source: Heard it from some random guy at my career fair who is involved with truck driving systems, so it's pretty rock-solid information. Invest accordingly.
## Speaker_0: ##
Either way, the technology behind a battery powered truck is important to truck companies in general, i.e cheaper, less parts, etc.
## Speaker_1: ##
Definitely. But I think now is the time to short the vending machine market because there will be less drivers on the road stopping at rest stops to buy snacks, so it will take a significant hit. It's the only reasonable conclusion.
## Speaker_0: ##
I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “vending machine”
Clarify?
## Speaker_1: ##
Sure. You know how there's a bunch of food in vending machines at rest stops on the road, which truckers typically stop at? They will receive a lot less business now. These vending machines serve everything from snacks to sodas to coffee, which are the bedrock of the American economy. In fact I think this might be the final catalyst for a catastrophic failure of the American economy, so you should just short everything.
## Speaker_0: ##
I think it would be wise to look into what percentage of vending machines are truck driver customers. I mean, these are everywhere from hospitals to schools to amusement parks... not only truck stops :/

Thats not argument though for universal income, where someone freeloads on another persons hard work.
The argument for it now is that in the near future a vast majority of blue collar and most white collar jobs will be done by machines and AI. Currently, our educational system trains people to become parts of the economic engine BUT as machinery and AI start replacing and displacing those components... not only will there be massive job losses due to displacement, but there would also be less need for "human resources" going forward and those displaced will start competing for the jobs that are left. The economic engine can only support so many components and an increased competition for the remaining spots will reduce the economic reward.
TLDR: Get rich now or get fucked like the rest!
## Walls1337bot: ##

Read the article. The Chinese A shares go for ~$20. The ADR shares trade at twice that (what US investors buy).

You're up 30% in two months huh?.. But you use robin hood. So I'm guessing you're risking a lot on each trade. Don't get it fucked up and think a 2 month hot streak means you are a good trader. Up 30% this month down 70% next. Like I said you use robin hood so you're gambling not trading.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Fully agree with you, I'm under no illusion what's going on. I hit oil at the bottom in late January and have gotten lucky. I've returned more than 70% on about 5 stocks (BTE, CHK, MCEP, CNX, INO). So really I should be up more but I made some mistakes too. I'm more diversified now but taking much less risk than before and being able to stop loss out conservatively and easily follow things on RH is definetly part of the success. I have not been betting any more than 10% on any trade. RH is a ridiculously good platform for the non options trader. If they'd just get afterhours/premarket that will help a lot. As much as I hate waiting 3 days it actually has prevented a few disasters
Also, I'm more in biotech now and as a physician I feel I can evaluate that shit better. Heavily now into CPXX, I trust that they are going to kill it I have not seen better data from a phase III in a long time.

“Between 5 and 25 % on $60 billion.”

## Speaker_0: ##
so they did 60 for 200?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Not even. Trump made it 25% on 200. They are doing “between 5 and 25%” on 60. Which, I think, means they can make it look like they are being tough using local media (focus on the 25%) when in reality they may be mostly 5% tariffs (which is actually nothing).
I don’t know what the breakdown is, but it sure gives them room to make it sound tough to the public while behind the scenes telling Trump that they are willing to negotiate.

Interesting reads. Thanks.
I’m not smart enough to comprehend all the intricacies of the global trade situation so I don’t know how this all plays out in the long term. But I do know that, compared to the levels of escalation that previous tariffs have represented, this one is relatively minor. So I expected a small shift upward in US stocks today, as opposed to the big pullback that usually follows tariff announcements. With 20 minutes left of trading, looks like I was right.

Amazon Fresh and Automated Stores are a few tiny experiment pilot programs that Amazon plans to afford to fail 99 to 1, as long as they get 1 big success out of them. Amazon doesn't have any immediate overhaul plans for Whole Foods either - the stores are running the same as yesterday. So to shit-talk Amazon on these foundations is kind of foundationless. The stock prices are due to predictions of things that won't be seen for 15 years, and Amazon is on the foundations to pounce in that timeframe, while other Grocers have nothing in the pipeline to react with. These price changes are not going to revert - they're permanent and long overdue. Amazon just woke people up. Grocery stocks are priced pretty accurately for 2017.

That's funny. You think prices at 25 years of earnings (P/E) aren't projected out even 15 years? You think people just give that extra money out of the kindness of their heart? There are investments projected out 100 years that change hands each generation, time discounted.
>nobody wants 99% failure
theyre called moonshots and yes, 99% is common. google bezos attitude towards failure, he loves it. Then look up how many times edison failed. It's how innovation works. Experiments are expected to fail, then you find a gem every once in a while

>You think prices at 25 years of earnings (P/E) aren't projected out even 15 years?
Yeah, I do not think that because it is not true, and it is fucking stupid. People project out a few years into the future in terms of knowable information and priced-in expectations. Your dumb ass said that people try to price in 15+ years of speculative expectations, which is wrong and retarded.
>There are investments projected out 100 years
Amazon and retails stocks are not in that category, obviously, so you win the award for pointing out irrelevant shit.
>theyre called moonshots and yes, 99% is common.
So buying whole foods is a moonshot now? Idiot.
>google bezos attitude towards failure, he loves it.
Bezos does not love failure, and if you think that, you are even dumber than I suggesting you were earlier in this post. If Bezos loved failure, Amazon would be bankrupt. Also: what people say in public about a thing, is not necessarily true. Shocker.
>Experiments are expected to fail, then you find a gem every once in a while
Amazon Fresh is not some wild innovation. It is old as fuck, and has been a stagnant failure for many years now. If Amazon could not manage to get its own project off the ground because no consumers wanted it, the idea that Amazon could IMPROVE UPON a different company that DID find success (unlike Amazon) is laughable.
Amazon Fresh is a failure because consumers do not want it. It was and is too expensive. Americans are not willing to pay so much money to avoid driving to the market and buying their own shit. This is not innovation. Nothing is new or special or DISRUPTIVEVEVEVE about paying some faggot to bring me some fucking tomatoes.

People who are long the options have the choice to exercise them even if they are out-of-the-money.
SPY closed at 267.67 yesterday so normally all of those options would expire worthless. Since the stock went below 266.50 after the close, people who were long the 266.5 put chose to manually exercise them since they were in-the-money at that point.
I believe you are assigned options on a proportional basis of the total outstanding, so since you got assigned on 863 of the 1000, 86.3% of the 266.5 puts were exercised.
It's usually wise to close out of a short option position when it expires that close to the strike, since you can be assigned on an unpredictable number of them.

## Walls1337bot: ##
Its amazing how hard it is to understand this stuff as a complete layman. Almost re-assuring that people who actually hang out on subs like this struggle with it as well.
Something I'm unclear on. When you trade, can't you set a $$ limit for buying, or a number of shares limit or something? Did this guy accidentally set too high a dollar/quantity limit when he bought? Or he deliberately bought too much, but then forgot to sell? Maybe I'm too eli5 for this thread..?
## Speaker_0: ##
I think that he traded way too big given the size of his account. The problem is that in theory this trade shouldn't be able to lose more than $50k.
That's assuming everything happens as it should, the options should have all expired worthless and he should have made $2k on that trade. The problem is that what should happen in theory didn't happen in real life, people exercised the options and he was forced to buy the shares.
ETrade shouldn't be allowing him to trade anywhere near that big, since if the stock ends up between $266.60 and $266 he'll be long up to 100k shares of stock in a $50k account.

Would anyone be kind enough to ELI5 what the pros and cons of this are? For instance, I don't know enough about the subject to understand how millions less being covered by insurance is profitable? Or is this just purely being presented as a US balance sheet *must*? If it is seen as a must, you often hear "hurr durr Europe does it fine", is that actually a valid argument? Are we not able to pull off universal healthcare because we're greedy, or retarded, or could we actually pull it off no problem without the political fighting?
Also, just from a logical standpoint, it seems we now have the objective numbers that preventative care saves shit tons of money in expenses - and the less people that have access to preventative care, it stands to reason the larger our costs will be in the long run, so is any of this *really* about saving money?
I'm just so fucking sick of the partisan bullshit arguing, I would sincerely appreciate anyone with knowledge of the subject to learn my ass.
## Speaker_0: ##
At its most basic, the new bill - the AHCA in the House and the BCRA in the Senate - is not so much a healthcare bill as a tax cut bill. It does two things - one, it cuts Medicaid funding by around $770 billion over 10 years. But that money doesn't just go into the government's pockets. Instead, its matched with a cut of the Obamacare taxes, which affects earners over $200,000/yr. The government will save some money, about $300 billion, but with a $19 trillion debt it's not that much.
The second thing it does is loosen requirements of what insurance companies must provide as part of insurance; the problem with this is that it leads to high deductible plans with crappy insurance, and if you dont have much money, a high deductible plan is essentially useless. Between the Medicaid cuts and that fact, it is expected 22 million additional people will not have insurance over 10 years.
It does a couple other things too - like gets rid of the "insurance mandate," which requires everyone to have insurance or pay a tax, and replaces it with a 6-month sanction, where if you lose insurance, you can apply for it again but you won't get it for six months. I can tell you what the problem with this is, but I've written enough, let me know if you want to know more.
## Walls1337bot: ##
So essentially, it's a drop in the bucket of the nation's debt, but a huge blow to the healthcare coverage of the nation's workforce.
Am I just a libtard for thinking that sounds objectively bad? We're already obese, diabetic, and the list goes on. I know big pharma already tracks the workforce losses incurred by illnesses every year - are those numbers just not relevant? I'm just struggling to grasp how this is a positive for the United States moving forward. Also, thank you for the informative response.
## Speaker_0: ##
No, you're right, it is objectively bad. It is also wildly unpopular, with something like 29% approval rate. Nobody likes this bill, even Republicans. The GOP in power seems to want to pass it just to say that they "repealed" Obamacare, though it really doesn't even do that. It's a terrible bill and hopefully will die.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I understand a lot of the gripes - I've been using "Obamacare" for 3 years now. Things are cheaper for me, yes, but the bill rings up the same - and I know Uncle Sam is paying the difference. My biggest gripe is that the ACA essentially created a pipeline straight from the US budget to big pharma. But, that being said, that's just kind of the situation we're left with. I don't know any better solutions, and I haven't heard any. The misinformation is maddening down here in Alabama, it truly is. I have, on *multiple* occasions, had to explain to people that Obamacare is **not a fucking insurance company**. I've had to explain this fucking **years after is was passed**! Democracy is cool man but...damn these people down here are even less informed than you think they are.

## Speaker_1: ##
sell puts!
## Speaker_2: ##
Yeah, only if you have like $80,000 on hand to cover the purchase should they go down that far.
## Speaker_1: ##
ohemgee you're right! oh wait, you could just buy a further otm put to offset risk and margin required.....i think its called a vertical spread? idk much bout options tho - I mostly just trade jnug and uvxy
## Speaker_2: ##
You could buy further down, yes. I don't think Amazon will go down to $700 by EOD tomorrow, so if you got $70,000 on hand, go for it and make a few bucks.
You could sell naked puts too (just need margin and approval from your broker though).
## Speaker_3: ##
Thats whats good with selling spreads is way less BPR and defined risk... Don't need 70k for this
## Walls1337bot: ##
wait wut you mean you don't just sell naked options and let them expire ITM??? duurrrrr
Only so much you can explain when dealing with retards bro.

Buy more than one share idiot

2 shares it is

[But did you remember to sell your first share before buying a second one?](https://www.reddit.com/r/RobinHood/comments/5vmj13/can_i_buy_more_of_the_same_stock_without_selling/) Wouldn't want the SEC chasing you down for that kind of illicit trading.

Wow 25b wtf
## Speaker_0: ##
That 25x projected revenue multiple tho...
## Speaker_1: ##
I know Facebook has more up its sleeve, but FB has a 44 P/E ratio.
Question is, how can snapchat make more money and is it as stable as facebook.
## Speaker_2: ##
>Question is, how can snapchat make more money and is it as stable as facebook.
It can't, and no it is not.
## Speaker_3: ##
It's not, but it has a bright future. It can make more money certainly. There are plenty of ways to monetize more than it's trying to currently.
## Speaker_4: ##
They already have "featured" snaps that you can look at. I don't know anyone who does but that's a least one source of revenue.
People pay to make the filters that show where you are (like if you are at a sporting event it will show the teams logos and the), I believe.
You can snaps from "team Snapchat" every now and then. I'm sure company's would pay for that even if it does piss a lot of people off.
Also I'm sure they can sell meta data.
That's just some possibilities/things they are already doing.
## Walls1337bot: ##
No the real money maker is going to be the filters. They have the 18-30 demo locked up. Which is an increasingly difficult demo to target. The filters get viewed a lot. ALOT and if that can be translated to a price to the potential marketers. That is all they need to be successful. Currently they are charging 100k a day to be featured. As with all IPOs they will be pumped, then dumped. After that its open season id be going long after that movement
## Speaker_5: ##
Yes, but they can't keep filling the filters with more paid ones in their current situation. It'd make the app unusable. Imagine going through 5-10+ just to find the right filter?
They'd have to do something similar to iPhone's live photo filter in order to add more paid filters and still have the app be usable: https://www.imore.com/sites/imore.com/files/styles/large/public/field/image/2013/07/ios_7_camera_filters_hero.jpg?itok=gooKnepX.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Agree. Their current UX needs work. I have been in situations scrolling through so many of those fucking filters is terrible. And if people start getting a shit ton even 7 to 8. Swiping through is bad UX and I am surprised it last this long.

Because he’s locked up you have to send it to P.O. box 329002 at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and put his Inmate # on it which is #87850-053

Its absolute garbage. Tried it because i got even cheaper pricing. Its web interface only unless you want to buy some API and theres stuff you can't even trade - can't trade basic stuff like RUT. Just fucking garbage bro
## Speaker_0: ##
I don't plan on doing anything with it other than literally placing the trade. Is there still a downside i'm missing?
## Walls1337bot: ##
its a really really shit interface i have no idea what kind of execution you get. there's no real way to get live pricing its just. i dont know how much you're trading but its not worth it imo. ask them for at trial of the interface
in fairness to them they're new and building so probably improves over time
## Speaker_0: ##
but if I used think or swim to see the ask/bid and what not, and then set a manual limit order through tradier, I don't see any downside (besides maybe a little slower execution). Please help me if I am missing something
## Walls1337bot: ##
lets do it this way - how many trades do you make in a year
## Speaker_0: ##
haven't done options (besides paper trades)
Make probably too many normal trades though. "Saved" like 26k on robinhood last year
## Walls1337bot: ##
its probably worth exploring for you then i couldnt deal with it because you couldnt even trade a product i trade a lot and its fucked up for option combos and stuff. for pretty simple stuff its probably ok to try

Never ever do a market order on any options.

I’m trying to find the best way to sell my Nvdia calls on open if there is a huge sell off. Their 225 strike deep ITM
## Walls1337bot: ##
Put in a limit order below the market before open.
A market order can fill at literally any price in an illiquid market.
## Speaker_0: ##
Yea but I’m scared of people putting crazy low bids hence my question of executing and receiving less than the dollar amount above strike x 100.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Hello, do you understand what a limit order does?

I try to make intelligent gambles, not gambles on something just because it's cheap and could go up.

lol that's why you do the research. For the people actually invested it's not a random gamble like any other penny stock. You read and make a judgement that this is worth the speculation. We'll all be laughing on our yachts.
