Trump and his band of merry cucks can't govern for shit and the Turtle Master keeps failing to pass legislation. GG rekt buy $SDS
## Speaker_1: ##
lol healthcare would never pass the house right? And trump is a Russian spy or some stupid shit? Get the fuck out of here...your party is dead
## Speaker_0: ##
Which party?
Also - the healthcare bill that's under consideration to become law hasn't passed the House. The House passed essentially a first draft. The bill won't pass the Senate and won't get to the House.
## Speaker_1: ##
Right which is how the system works. Took obama over a year to get the first phase of obama care done. You hold trump to unrealistic standards
## Walls1337bot: ##
After dozens of hearings and republican amendments. You'd think a bill written in secret by lobbyists would speed right through.
## Speaker_1: ##
...you mean exactly how obama care was passed. "Don't read it, just pass it" as Nancy Pelosi famously said
## Walls1337bot: ##
Read what I wrote again. Dozens of hearings and republican amendments incorporated into Romneycare, and still no republicans voted for it. That is transparent like a glass window compared to the secret meetings and two month authorship process of the AHCA.
You actually have no way to defend it, but try again.

I understand that terms like “fag” and “gay” are often used in a “joking” manner. When you use them, you probably don’t do so maliciously — and certainly not in a way to purposely offend or insult homosexuals. You, like many, may use the words without even thinking twice about it. Sometimes it just slips — it’s an easy, long since accessible insult. It’s almost a habit, right? Well, even if this is the case, it doesn’t make it okay.
First of all, let’s start with the obvious fact that “gay” often doesn’t even make sense in most contexts in which it is used to describe something or someone. Take for example when you are hanging around with your friends and you say something along the lines of, “Why won’t you come out tonight? Stop being gay.” There is nothing gay about staying in. You mean stop being lazy? Anti-social? Lame? Is there really no better adjective you can find in your brain to use — one that is not only more politically correct but also more accurate for the point you’re trying to make?
Justifying your use of these words by saying “I didn’t mean it offensively,” doesn’t make it okay. Not only does it show ignorance, but it also shows a concerning lack of intellect. Yes, context is important.
But it’s the implication behind it that is the problem.
If you are calling someone a faggot or gay, you are still using the term in a condescending, demeaning and often insulting manner. You never say, “This new guy I am dating is so fun and sweet! He always acts like such a faggot.”
“But it’s just a word!” Some people argue that by rejecting the word you could potentially give it more power, making it taboo or more controversial, and that they choose to use it as a means of “reclaiming” it. I am not suggesting you ban these words from your vocabulary; I am suggesting you don’t use them if you are doing so with the intent to insult.
You don’t get to impose your own meaning on words and use them on, or against, other people... at least not while holding the ignorant belief it will go without ridicule — that the context you’re using it in is excusable. You can’t reclaim something without a thorough understanding of where it came from and the problem surrounding it. And the fact that you use it so carelessly leads me to assume you don’t have that thorough understanding.
To you, it may be “just a word.” If so, you are fortunate. A lot more fortunate than others who have a lot of pain and suffering tied to it. Sure, it’s not a big deal to everyone, but just because it doesn’t affect some people doesn’t mean it isn’t your obligation to care about who it may — and why.
The best depiction of the problem with this word, and one that forever changed the way I view it, was a scene from comedian Louis C.K.’s show, Louie. The particular scene is of him and his friends playing poker, poking fun at their gay friend, and asking a number of questions about “gay things.”
Louie asked him if he thought he shouldn’t be using the word “fag” on stage during his routines. His friend responded by saying:
I think you should use whatever words you want. When you use it on stage, I can see it’s funny, and I don’t care. But are you interested in what it might mean to gay men? Well, the word ‘faggot’ really means a bundle of sticks used for kindling in a fire. Now, in the middle ages, when they used to burn people they thought were witches? They used to burn homosexuals, too. And, they used to burn the witches at a stake, but they thought the homosexuals were too low and disgusting to be given a stake to be burnt on, so they used to just throw them in with the kindling, with the other faggots. So that’s how you get ‘flaming faggot.’
... You might wanna know that every gay man in America has probably had that word shouted at them while they’re being beaten up, sometimes many times, sometimes by a lot of people all at once. So, when you say it, it kind of brings that all back up. But, you know, by all means, use it. Get your laughs. But, you know, now you know what it means.
Be responsible. Hold yourself accountable. Pay attention to the words you use, the way you articulate yourself, and be aware of how the things you say may affect people around you. At the very least, take the time to understand the origin of a controversial term you use and the meaning it has for other people in our society before deciding not only whether or not you have the right to say it, but what feeling entitled to do so says about you.
You may not be homophobic. But saying you are “just joking” or only saying it to people who aren’t gay doesn’t absolve you of blame. You may not be able to solve the issue of homophobia in our society. But what you can do it make sure you aren’t — consciously or not — contributing to it.

## Speaker_0: ##
This is absurd and one of the biggest problems with with the judicial system here in the US. Bail is put in place to ensure that the person appears for their court ordered hearings and/or trial. The court isn't using his bail to ensure he'll appear because there's absolutely no reason to believe he wouldn't at this point in the process. It's being used as a way to bludgeon him, so even if he isn't convicted, he's still getting fucked over.
Case in point: The judge makes the rules. Shkreli's attorney said he had debts that he couldn't pay because he didn't have access to the funds that would allow him to do so. It's very easy for the Judge to say, "Alright, if the reason you're asking for a bail reduction is to pay off debts, we'll release $X amount which you can use to pay off what you owe for P, Q, and R obligations." If he uses the money for any other purpose, the court could hold him in contempt and revoke his bail entirely.
Instead, they're basically saying "Naw, fuck it. Let the juice run. If we can't get a conviction, let's at least try to fuck him over in another way."
This isn't just a game they're playing to screw with Shkreli - no doubt that once all is said and done, financially, he'll be fine. It might take him a few years, but he'll come back. The problem is, it's something the court does all the time as part of their standard procedures. So if an average middle class citizen finds themselves in a criminal battle large enough, they may actually be innocent, they may be found innocent by a jury of their peers, but by the time that happens, they've literally lost everything they had worked for. At what point does one say "fuck it, I'll just do the time."
## Speaker_1: ##
I absolutely disagree. If you free those funds and he uses them to abscond, you can revoke bail all you want, the dudes going to be doing blow in Argentina and throwing up a massive finger to the US.
ALSO, did that motherfucker do so much blow he got a nose job? He looks like Micheal Jackson.
## Speaker_0: ##
What reason is there to believe he would run? At any point during this process has he done anything to suggest that? I don't know the guy personally, I read an article every so often where he's mentioned. But not once have I heard anything about him being a "flight risk." If there was even the slightest hint at that, it would be all over the news.
It doesn't make sense for him to run. 6-12 months ago? Yeah sure, I could see that. But a week or two before his trial? Why sit around for a year blowing through cash on legal fees and shit? That's just retarded.
## Speaker_1: ##
.... this is the guy who spent some number of millions of dollars on the wu-tang album. I don't think he's known for rational decision making.
## Speaker_0: ##
How is that any different than spending a million dollars on a car, a house, or any other possession for that matter? People spend money on things that they value, that are important to them - but that differs from person to person. Who are you to judge? I'm sure if I looked at your spending, be it $50 or $500k, I could have 5 page list of shit you bought that I thought was irrational or stupid in less than an hour.
Edit: typo
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm not the one asking for a lower bail from charges of fraud to pay someone who claims they know who paid Seth Rich.

Held longer than I wanted, but I'll take it. Anyone still holding for a few weeks for a chance of a bidding war? Was really wanting a 45-52 buyout offer.
## Speaker_1: ##
curious about this as well. i have 2 or 3k in calls. i think ima sell em.
i saw a lawsuit
https://www.yahoo.com/news/relypsa-rlyp-alert-johnson-weaver-llp-launches-investigation-111400608.html
my thinking is this deal took so damn long, it was in my price range of 30-35, that i should just sell.
plus it would have to fall through or be rejected to get another bid right? which means it would dip for another entry.
also will people bother covering to squeeze it? most of the time i see a buyout it doesnt go up after the jump, but theres usually not a 40% float.
## Speaker_2: ##
I would absolutely sell them.
If you ever read Understanding Options, you remember the story of the guy who made 150k on the contract rumor, celebrated but got greedy and didn't sell, and lost everything?
Don't let that be you. If it's when you were planning on selling, sell.

Reminds me of when I was a kid and tried to argue to a teacher that if I was able to get exactly 0% on a final exam that I should receive an A+ for the semester.
## Speaker_1: ##
had a physics teacher offer this to us. on a multiple choice final. if you got 0% exactly you got an A in class. you get one question right your test is graded like normal. no one took the bet
## Speaker_2: ##
That's actually relatively easy. In a multiple choice typically only 1/4 questions are right. So you're looking for the 3/4 that are wrong. I would have taken that bet. But then, I am a day trader.. soo errrr
## Speaker_3: ##
If you did the DD on physics you could narrow down a few of the most right -sounding answers as well
## Speaker_4: ##
That's really hard.
Assuming 4 possible answers and 10 questions.
0.75^10 = ~5.6%
0.75^15 = ~1.3%
0.75^20= ~0.3%
0.75^30= ~0.01%
No Thanks
## Speaker_5: ##
think you misinterpreted that one bud, he said
>You could narrow down a few of the most right - sounding answers as well
Usually in these tests you can immediately narrow it down to two answers which it could be, then you have a 50% chance of getting it wrong for each Q, which is a bet worth taking
## Walls1337bot: ##
Except you only need to eliminate one answer, then you select that.
## Speaker_5: ##
Yeah but OP doesn't know what that one right answer is, so when he tries to narrow it down it'll probably be wrong anyway
## Walls1337bot: ##
Sure but OP only needs to figure out one answer that's wrong. Most questions have an answer that's completely off base, thus you could select this answer without knowing which of the other three are correct.

dumb question but how can a company that has never made a profit pay its employees (such an absurdly high salary)? Or rather is that why they have never made a profit?
## Speaker_1: ##
Profit = revenue - expenses, paying salary = employee expense
## Speaker_2: ##
That's true but they're are operating on private investment untill yesterday. The stock is worth people are willing to trade it for. Nothing to do with profits.
## Speaker_3: ##
Well yesterday they got a bunch of money. Wallstreet will pay for employee expenses now for a while. And everyone who privately invested in this company is also well off now and made a good exit.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Most of them didn't though. Benchmark and Lightspeed made millions but it's nothing compared to how much they didn't sell. Benchmark capital alone has $3 billion left in stock. For everyone that's considering to buy or sell SNAP, just pay attention to what the investors do and do the same because they likely know what's going on better than the cnbc or the wsb circlejerk.

This take on PHEVs is wrong. First of all, it’s not inconvenient to plug a car in at night. Second, most people buy PHEVs so that their commute is gas-free, not so they never have to fill up on gas. Third, having the ability to also fill up on gas is a benefit, since it instantly gives you more range than any EV on the market with zero range anxiety. PHEVs are a long-term bridge technology, and a good one.
## Speaker_1: ##
Tell that to someone who has ever forgotten to plug in their car at night and ran out of charge of the highway it’s not inconvenient. People are dumb and make that mistake constantly.
## Speaker_0: ##
That’s an argument for PHEVs over EVs, which is a point I was making... nobody leaves their PHEV empty on gas because they have 30mi of electric, so this isn’t an issue you run into with PHEVs. When I forget to plug my car in I’m pissed I have to waste gas on my commute when I could be driving electric, but it’s not a big deal.

## Walls1337bot: ##
>I view this as my “Big Short”
If you want to have your "big short," you have to buckle down and do the research so that you know what you are talking about. You can't just latch on to an insanely expansive definition of securities fraud and ride it to hell. You have to know more about what you are doing than that.
## Speaker_0: ##
I did my research and it’s telling me companies with unsustainable debt go bankrupt
## Walls1337bot: ##
Companies in capital intensive industries carry a lot of debt, that includes car companies. Debt is only unsustainable if the company can’t afford to pay it. You could say “well, they are taking a loss right now” but that doesn’t tell you the whole picture because a bunch of that debt was taken out to pay for increased production capacity. So it’s only unsustainable if Tesla can’t turn it into production capacity. But by all appearances, they are back on track with Model 3 production. You can ride it out for the rest of the year if you want to know for sure, but you will probably lose a ton of money.
## Speaker_0: ##
>but that doesn’t tell you the whole picture because a bunch of that debt was taken out to pay for increased production capacity
Love arguing with retarded fucks, this is what I hate about current economy. The almost 9 year long bull market has created fuck ton of retards.
Profit and Loss statement doesn't involve CapEx, which is what you are talking about. How the fuck do you comment in an investing subreddit without understanding basics of finance?
> But by all appearances, they are back on track with Model 3 production.
Musk said they "factory gated" 5K Model 3s per week not produced. Which is completely different. From this Bloomberg reporter - https://twitter.com/danahull/status/1013549370111692800
"My understanding is that cars come off assembly line, then go through inspection and repair, and when are ready to hand over to delivery they are "factory gated."
So he used a clever buzzword to disguise it, just like how he said 6 months delay in production was just "time shift". Anyway at the end fundamentals win, let me know your Lord Elon plans to raise 10 billion this year to support operations.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> Profit and Loss statement doesn't involve CapEx
But debt does...
> How the fuck do you comment in an investing subreddit without understanding basics of finance?
Anyone can comment here, right? What would you be doing here otherwise?
> "My understanding is that cars come off assembly line, then go through inspection and repair, and when are ready to hand over to delivery they are "factory gated."
So these are completed cars, ready to ship. That's not a problem, that's a good thing. If they weren't you could just say "but how many are defective and undeliverable?" This clarifies that these vehicles will ship.
> let me know your Lord Elon plans to raise 10 billion this year to support operations.
Some analysts are saying they need 10 billion for future planned CapEX. I don't think anyone is saying they need that for operations. I would guess that Tesla will take out additional debt to build those factories. It should be easy for them to take out additional loans or issue more bonds if they can show profitability in Q3 and Q4. But there are a lot of options.

You sell premium against buying it, like selling a put credit spread to lower your premium cost(what I've taken to doing recently).
## Speaker_1: ##
Sorry, could you explain what you mean about "premium against buying it"? I think the same thing is referenced here (https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/45f8gl/how_not_to_get_fucked_with_options_during_earnings/) "if you want to play an earnings report with options, you want to be a net seller of option premium."
I've tried googling, but I just don't understand. I'm betting on the price going UP, why would I want anything to do with puts? Thanks for any help
## Walls1337bot: ##
You receive some money(credit) entering the trade. That is your max profit. Your max loss is the price difference between the strikes of your choice - the credit you received. So if you choose two strikes with 0.5 difference and receive 0.2 credit. Max profit=0.2, max loss=0.3
these are very basic things, please use google

You don't have enough shares for a true covered call; one standard options contract = 100 shares. You'd be partially uncovered, i.e. naked, and therefore have additional capital requirements (assuming you're approved for naked calls in your account).
With this strategy, keep in mind that if you get assigned (shares called away / you sell your stock at the strike price), you've a tax liability on gains from the stock. If you do this several times a year, you're paying short-term tax on those gains. If you only kept the stock and never sold it, no capital gains. This is, of course, assuming Amazon goes up.
Generally speaking, it's ideal to write options 30-90 days out (approx) as time decay exponentially decreases during that period. This can vary depending on earnings, unexpected events, etc.
If you're OK with the potential capital gains tax, as someone else mentioned, you can sell calls and if your shares get called away, sell puts to buyback into the stock OR collect the free premium (if the put expires worthless).
You mentioned you're also in gold and could put that into Amazon instead. Ask yourself if that 50k will likely, in your estimation, make more $ in Gold, Amazon, or something else? Don't put everything in Amazon just to do covered calls; make sure it's a strategy you believe in to get the best return in your view.
Have you considered other options strategies instead? Strats that define risk without huge capital requirements?
## Speaker_0: ##
So let me get this right: i should sell calls 30-90 days out, at a strike price slightly higher than the spot price. if it gets assigned, then i start selling puts at a strike price slightly lower than the spot price, and hope someone exercise the put so i can buy the stocks from them.
i want to keep options trading simple. no complex strategies, just sell puts or calls.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Generally, 30-90 days out -- you can do further out or earlier, it just depends on how good the premiums look.
How high above current price is also dependent on how much you want to get. Keep an eye on the Delta and Probability ITM, this lets you know how likely, at that moment in time, that the strike price will be ITM upon expiration. Generally, people aim for 40-20% OTM. Depends on how much premium you want.
When selling puts, you hope to get assigned if you want to own Amazon but if you don't, you keep the premium. BUT, if Amazon goes on a huge upswing, you *only* get the premium and not the full ride. However, if amazon tanks -- you're on the hook for the downswing (less the premium).
If you do rougly 30-90 days out, you're looking at 8-24 trades per year (to sell the covered call, to sell the put, sell another call, etc). IMO, that's easily manageable. But how far out you sell dictates how often you have to do it again.
Amazon currently doesn't pay dividends, but if you write calls on stocks that do -- keep in mind dividend risk; your calls can be assigned early as part of a dividend play. Doesn't matter for Amazon, but worth being aware of if you do covered calls on other stocks.
## Speaker_0: ##
sounds good man. i will give this a shot
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you can, play around in a virtual trading acct to 'take it for a test spin,' as it were. It's better to get a feel for things without risking real $. Even if it takes a little time, still better to learn rookie mistakes without any risk.
Also, check out /r/Options.
## Speaker_0: ##
thanks man. one more question. when would you sell a option that is in the money. i see options listed that are already in the money. would anyone buy those? what is the point
## Walls1337bot: ##
Various reasons; they might not have 100k to buy the stock, but they want to control 100 shares. They might buy it as part of a different options strategy, such as a vertical or calendar spread. You can buy ITM calls for various reasons, but generally you don't sell cover calls ITM as you're not getting much benefit and increasing odds of getting assigned. When you sell ITM, the options premium looks nice but that's because it will include Intrinsic Value -- which effectively trims off the value of the stock.
* Stock at $50
* Sell $48 call for $3
You only gain $1 because you're committing to sell for $48 when the stock is at $50, a $2 discount to current price. Not really worth it.
Only time you MIGHT consider it is as a very strong huge to a potential price drop, to then buyback call cheaper. But that's hard to time and severely limits upside potential.

This is the same guy who has a $100 price target for AMD.
## Speaker_0: ##
Ignore all the substantive arguments, throw in some ad hominem?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Substantive arguments? This company has no legitimate pathway to growth. $TLRD is comparable to $MIK. If a company is increasing in market share in a sector that is shrinking comparatively to GDP, that's a significant red flag. More and more people are moving to local mom and pop formal wear shops, or alternatively cutting formal wear purchases out.
Fundamental wise the balance sheet is a wreck. Record level Debt to Assets Ratios, of 100.15% Let that sink in. No wonder 2022 Debt is trading above par, it's levered way above any reasonable valuation. A junk bond by all definitions (and still only a coupon of 7% I believe). Here's a fun number for you -$-68.91 that's the price to book. If this company was lucky enough to get a friendly bankruptcy hearing they would have negative 8 cents to pay you for each of the shares you own.
As for your argument for the partnership, I don't think that this is nearly enough to create meaningful growth for the company. Maybe you know what the demographics look like for NFL fans and Formal wear better than me, but I personally don't see them aligning. What is your time line like for a long or call on this?
## Speaker_0: ##
Timeline: 1 year for 100%+ returns. Assumes trade deal with China. Have short positions to cover no-deal scenario.
Fundamentally: Yet their '22 debt has traded above par recently. This co is an FCF machine. They make more revenue in a quarter than their market cap. They will be able to pay off their debt. They will sell off their 2 other non-core businesses if they have to, but they will likely just be able to refi in '25.
Growth prospects: The NFL has a fanbase that is anywhere between 115M and 160M depending on estimates, majority men. Let's say very conservatively than 1M NFL fans purchase a custom suit. Let's say, very conservatively, that each custom suit generates $350 in rev. You see where this is going.
And, I'm betting that they'll strike similar deals w/ other sports leagues.
​
And again, deep value models assumed declining sales and still were coming up with DCF values of $10+/share.
## Walls1337bot: ##
So your plan is to bet on trade policy, refinancing of leveraged corporate debt, and acquiring successful deals with sports companies. I hope this actually works out for you but this is pretty dumb, and not even dazzlingly so. Just spectacularly boring stupidity.

robinhood lets people who have no idea what they're doing do things. whether thats good or bad idk but i think its great.
## Speaker_2: ##
Every broker does this. Also I'm about 90% sure that none of the "Professional Financial Advisors" actually know what they are doing, other than making sure they personally collect on commissions.
## Speaker_3: ##
If I’ve learned anything from this sub it’s that no one has any fucking clue what they’re doing.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I've never invested in anything so I'm pretty sure I know what I'm doing which is being too intimidated by words and numbers to even try.

How do some people not understand the gravity of their fucking actions. $3000 and hes going to spend 20 years in fucking jail. He's just 24 years old, he ruined his fucking life for no reason.
Its honestly sad as shit.
## Speaker_1: ##
Honestly the 20 years in prison seems a little bit harsh. There's people that drive drunk and kill someone, or convicted actual pedophiles, that serve less time.
- "wut you in here for, fam?"
- "I made a fake company and tried to buy FitBit to make $3,000."
## Walls1337bot: ##
It's a federal crime, so he's actually spending 20 years if he gets it. Basically nobody serves that unless it's capital murder/5 felonies committed at once.
## Speaker_2: ##
Wait, your statement is confusing.
## Walls1337bot: ##
When I say nobody serves that, I mean for non-federal.

Never made a profit is being pretty fucking generous. Half a billion loss in 2016, and Instagram didn't even steal their features until November.
## Speaker_1: ##
Holy fuck. Snapchat has about 300 million active monthly users. About half of that are daily users. The 158 million active daily users probably weigh a lot more. Just to go even they would have to make more than 3 $ per active dialy user per year.
## Speaker_2: ##
Huh, when you put it that way, that's less than 3 cents of ad revenue a day per user.
## Speaker_3: ##
Almost like web and app based ads don't work, despite what the companies that sell ads are telling us.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Web ads work amazingly well if you can gather enough information about a person.

Why?

And they had Britain staying as well. Remember how that went? People never learn. I'll comment again after Trump wins.

The smart thing to do at this point in the casino is to sell off your original investment you walked in with and play with the houses money
## Speaker_1: ##
Thanks.
Actually i'm fully out, i liquidated my position. 1 million is all i need to retire. (I live damn frugally)
## Speaker_2: ##
Will you resist the temptation to ruin yourself by gambling with your money again? Sounds like it's in your blood, given that you've made that huge bet. Can you live without the thrill?
## Speaker_1: ##
I'll probably pack away 80% in safe investments. 10% into immediately improving my situation (I still need a new car...) and i'll gamble with 10% for the thrill, but that'll be my limit. :)

How much net worth did you have before this trade? I’m just trying to get a gauge of your risk leave. If this was kinda play money or your life savings.

I'm not OP but where would you go? Schwab? TD? ETrade?
## Speaker_0: ##
They're all pretty similar in terms of legitimacy and cheap trades. I think Fidelity has the most user-friendly interface, Schwab's is pretty nice too. I opened up an account at TD last week and closed it today because I could barely navigate their site but that's just me. TD's ThinkOrSwim software is cool for options but you can get it for free without actually funding an account. Tastyworks has really good fees but is pretty new and the interface is a little too Nickelodeon for me. Out of the brokers I mentioned, Fidelity is also the only one with online chat support which is awesome since I do alot of trading in my wife's account. All the others you have to call.
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you have over 100k Merrill Edge will treat you really nice. I get 100 free trades a month and a bunch of rewards through Bank of America.
Really useful as a day-trader. Commissions on options are expensive as fuck though. I've considered using another brokerage solely for options but I've never really gotten to it...
I would definitely consider Merrill Edge if you're a high frequency stock trader.

I'm buying as soon as it hits market, and setting a 2% trail after a 5% gain.

You mean after the banks get it, increase the price 50%, make it overvalued, and then you'll post in April about how you lost 20% on Snapchat.
