You left out car loans - literally as bad as student loans
## Speaker_1: ##
implying i got time to make OC. but car loans are really that bad too? damn nothing is stopping this market
## Speaker_2: ##
I read an article the other day about how 7 year loan durations are 'the new thing'. My friends thought I was crazy when I got a 3 year loan because "your payment must be so high!" I ended up paying it off 6 months early. These people amaze me.
## Speaker_3: ##
One massively overlooked issue with those long term auto loans is what can potentially happen if the car gets wrecked during the final few years of the loan. The car can depreciate to the point where it's worth less than what you owe on the loan. If the car gets wrecked, insurance will cut you a check and you'll probably be left with debt and no car.
But muh lower monthly payments amirite?
## Speaker_4: ##
This is a stupid metric. Take the loan that minimises the total discounted cost of capital. If you can get 70 months at 0 % why wouldn't you take it?
## Speaker_5: ##
Because for most people longer loan terms increases the risk of irresponsible economic behaviour.
Sure, if you get 0% interest rate, have the cash in hand, put it in a savings account and use that money to pay of the car, then that's a great financial decision. If you spend the difference in monthly free cash flow on weed and iPhones then not so much. It's a behavioural problem, not an economic one.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Several \(3\) people I work with make about $15/hr and just bought new trucks for between $45,000 and $55,000. The "Risk of irresponsible economic behavior" is 100%.

My first landlord did this. Came to the US from Guatemala at 15 years old with nothing. Worked three jobs for years. Bought his first home and started renting rooms out. Leveraged equity to buy the next property. Rinse and repeat. By the age of 30 he had numerous properties across three states valued at over 3.5 million. Sold enough property to create a liquid cash base and lives off of rental income and the interest off his 2-2.5 mil in cash. Lives nicely but fairly modestly but hasn't really worked, unless you consider travelling and managing his own properties, since he was 26.
I think about all the money I've paid in student loans and what I've gained/lost in the markets and I want to smash the phone I'm typing on. If I had it to do all over again I'd say fuck college and just do what this guy did. He had it rough for a few years but the last 2/3 of his life are going to be spent not worrying about a fucking thing. Dude is my hero.
## Speaker_4: ##
Your story doesn't make a lick of sense. He hasn't been working since he was 26 ? How old was he when he started flipping homes, like 20 ? How long then did he work three jobs for ?
## Speaker_3: ##
Not working a traditional job, no. He had the cash to put a serious down payment on a home at like 20, or 21, kept working and buying homes. He wasn't flipping at least initially. He buys 4+ bedroom homes, sometimes even adds a room and/or converts a garage to a room, and then rents out all the rooms. 4-6 people, each paying $500 - $850 a month in Southern California, is more than enough to cover the mortgage from day 1. These are homes mostly in Santa Ana, Anaheim, Pomona and similar areas.

Nice explanation about the Greeks. My question is when “MU / any meme stock” goes up 1$ my option would go up 0.45$ AND my DELTA would go up 0.23$ correct?? because of the 0.23 Gamma?
## Speaker_1: ##
exactly. so if Mu went up $1, your current delta ($.45) + current gamma ($.23) = tomorrow's delta ($.68). If it goes up $1 tomorrow, the option would appreciate $.68
## Speaker_2: ##
Is that 68 cents a share? Or does the option actually gain value slower than the stock itself in that example?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yes but it increases as the price increases until the point $1 in share price increase is a $1 per share increase in the contract.

honestly its probably broad market profit takers that are triggering bots to sell which are triggering more bots to sell.
short $ROBO
## Speaker_3: ##
This is probably the most likely. Price action tends to make a trader say "ahhhh good run up, let me take some profits" a bot spots it and says "ahhhh the order flow that I'm parasitizing is selling, let me take some profits" another bot spots that and says "ahhhh good, the bot I'm parasitizing is selling, let me take some profits." The trader then sees the negative price action and says "Interesting...heavy volume selling through key technical points, let me sell" and so on and so on. I'm pretty sure if you did enough homework you could spot this more often than not, jump in on it, and profit on these surges (and make the effect worse of course).
Edit: Coincidentally I was listening to a podcast today where the people being interviewed said they have empirical evidence that this sort of price behavior started around 2003 and has been accelerating and getting worse. Tails on the price distribution are getting fatter, the mean of the bell curve is getting pulled higher, etc. What they didn't bring up (which occurs to me) is how if this is the case, then option prices are not in anyway reflecting the actual risk inherent in them and no one should be selling them for anywhere near the premium levels they're selling at.

This is a great example of how, even if you have some sort of ‘edge’, you’re going to lose money.
Your average Costco store does appx $175M per year. Even though I doubt it’s possible, let’s say this China store does $300M per year. Costco as a company will do appx $150B in revenues in 2019.
Let’s assume that wall st has completely dropped the ball on Costco and is giving a $0 to the China location, and all that $300M is ‘surprise’. Well $300M/$150B is......0.2% upside to revenues. It’s a rounding error that won’t move the stock. In fact, all of China’s incremental sales can get swamped by a 0.1% change in Costco’s comparable store base (retailers trade to their comparable store sales or ‘comps’ numbers).
So in the end, China doesn’t really matter.
Edit: to be clear bc some ppl appear confused, a multi-year long thesis about ‘growth in China’ *is not* under any circumstance a reason to trade FDs into a print which is what this post is about.
One store in China will not drive the trading action when COST reports their upcoming qtr. If you think that China is a great oppy for Costco (and it may well be), you buy and hold the stock for the next 3-4 years. You don’t use vanilla derivatives to express that trade.
Keep in mind a core trading rule: if you don’t have the timing, you don’t have a trade.
## Speaker_1: ##
But if they show this result + the plan on opening 50 more stores across China, we have another 10-15B in future growth. By the time that comes, it's too late to get in. Now's the time!
## Speaker_0: ##
That’s an argument for taking a multi-year long position. The post here is about trading FDs into the upcoming print. Those are two *wildly* different trades.
## Walls1337bot: ##
People price in future growth into current prices. The basic act of stock price valuation is assigning a discount rate to expected future cash flows.

That can usually be a good thing for a company in the process of a nose dive. It means they get to keep more money in the company instead of giving it to octogenarian dividend investors.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Especially when they take debt out to fuel the div. literally the worst thing u can do to a company

Learn how to feel the market because researching stocks doesnt mean shit
## Walls1337bot: ##
It does if you plan to buy actual stock and hold it long enough for the fundamentals to matter.
Doesn't matter how much MSFT or AMZN get sold short term, they will both be trillion+ dollar companies in 5 years, but they could easily lose (or gain) 10% of their value over the next month or two.
Think of the price as being a point on a leash from the "True Value". The market has a very long leash. So, the actual price can be far ahead or behind of the true value, but it will eventually average out to the movement of the company's fundamentals.
If you believe in a company, buy it. It doesn't matter what the fuck happens in the world or what Mango man tweets. If you are right in your assessment, the company will grow. Inversely, if you think a company is doomed, short it. Same story. If you are wrong, you will lose money over time. So, don't be wrong. Remember, Warren Buffet doesn't even look at share price when he evaluates companies. He does a lot of research, assigns a PE ratio that seems to make sense for that company, then looks at what it's going for now. If the PE ratio is lower than it should be, he buys the company.

Trump sure is a fucking retarded person
## Speaker_1: ##
That's insulting to retarded people. From what I've read people with down's syndrome are really kind hearted.
## Walls1337bot: ##
To be fair, just like people without down syndrome, it takes a lot of time, effort, and most importantly kindness to teach and show them how to be kind in return. Many caretakers are not themselves parents but choose to do so because they have the dedication to provide that kindness to those people. I had a neighbor growing up who has down syndrome and his parents were not great caretakers and too poor to afford outside help. This resulted in the child being prone to random acts of violence and extreme temper tantrums to get attention.
Similarly, Donald Trump had a father who didn't love him and instead filled him with hateful xenophobic and racist ignorance, and surprise of all surprises we now have an adult with no concept of love and is doing whatever he can to accomplish things his father might have approved of regardless of how awful it is towards other people.

Hollywood accounting can be pretty sketchy too, which is another reason to take the cash. They’re accounting practices should be fraudulent but for whatever reason isn’t. It’s on the scale of that they wrote off the entire LOTR trilogy as an loss. Every movie put them millions in the red according to their books. No idea how you spin numbers like that.
## Speaker_1: ##
That’s crazy, didn’t that movie make a fortune? I’ve always been fascinated by the whole concept of Hollywood accounting. Do you know any good sites that I could do more research?
## Walls1337bot: ##
It isn't that complicated in an example scenario, studios set up a dummy company for the movie, which contains the budget and marketing costs, and then studios charge that company ridiculous fees for distribution which means that they have to have way bigger box office than possible. So the dummy company loses money.
I don't know how it's still legal either, but its why in negotiations actors typically look for net points rather than profit points.

TIL a lot of people need to take some macroeconomics courses. Trade wars are bad, deficits != debt, and treating trade deficits as a zero sum game means we aren't consuming.
## Speaker_0: ##
Yeah, no real economist would say trade deficits are inherently bad. You could say I have a trade deficit with the grocery store since I buy from them but they never buy from me.
## Speaker_1: ##
The thing is that you earn money and buy your stuff from the grocery store using that money. In OP's analogy this would mean that the US have a massive deficit with China, but also a massive surplus with other countries, which would essentially lead to a balanced budget (I just assume that your budget is overall balanced).
As far as I know, the US is having a huge overall trade deficit. This means that they either have to produce more money, or take on debt to buy their groceries.
I don't think this is a healthy situation. Look at Europe: Germany is currently shredding the southern European countries by the same logic. As a consequence, the EU is going to introduce a banking union that will give direct credits to the (basically) bankrupt EU countries.
The USA are obviously very far from that situation, but this is the end game of heavily unbalanced trade deficits.
## Walls1337bot: ##
There is too much wrong here to really take point by point, but the major issue is you are assuming that the economy is built only through trade of physical good and that trade is a zero sum game.
Both are wrong.
