Actually I see the similarities between him and Musk in terms of raging about short sellers and posting on social networks. McAfee has had his moments Also the Microstrategy guy is said to have done some wackiness. ## Walls1337bot: ## McAfee is another fucking order of magnitude crazier than Musk.

SNAP tanks and my puts tenbag my portfolio. I pull all the money out and uninstall RH. 2. SNAP tanks and somehow my puts stay where they are at a healthy two digit percentage loss overall. I pull all the money out and uninstall RH. 3. SNAP moons and puts zero out my portfolio. I uninstall RH. ## Speaker_2: ## Next week: 1.

He bought 6 Berkshire Hathaway A shares. That's over a million dollars. Peace. ## Walls1337bot: ## Who cares. What are you going to do with a $100 trade? Even if it doubles what is that extra $100 really going to do for anyone? A lot of these RH users are pretty much dicking around thinking they can day trade their way to hundreds of thousands of dollars when they should be figuring how to improve their income situation. ### END CONVERSATION ###

I don't even have hope for my 9/7 calls but it'd be great if we're both eating tendies soon enough here ## Walls1337bot: ## id disagree i can't see this falling lower than $163. Already has seen massive sell off and I doubt many are shorting now. potential upside higher than downside in the next 2 weeks imo.

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## How exactly are you going to make any company money with your Anthropology degree? ## Walls1337bot: ## Cultural Resource Management (CRM) aka pejoratively as "Shovel Bumming" is the primary way. The vast majority of anthropology professionals in the US are contract archaeologists who work for CRM companies. Their work is predicated on Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. The work is grueling, ephemeral, and project based. 90% of the job consists of starting the day before dawn, hiking into the woods/desert/mountains, digging holes in the ground every 20 meters, pushing dirt through a screen one carries and repeating this process until you've questioned the validity of needing a degree for conducting said work. I would advise anyone pursuing an anthro degree to cross train in coding and/or GIS so you can pivot to another industry once you realize being a shovel bum is a downtrodden lifestyle. It only took me ten years, two degrees, and $50k in student loan debt to realize this for myself. ### END CONVERSATION ###

Go buy more MU calls. ## Speaker_2: ## It's like they have no idea that production is steadily over 5k/week. I actually don't think Musk matters that much to Tesla anymore. We could probably fire him and be better off long term. I can't imagine he's actually contributing very much with all that "work" he's doing. ## Speaker_3: ## If you do the math it's more towards 6 or 7k/week... ## Speaker_4: ## It's so funny to me you're getting downvoted for posting rough estimates that are confirmed by most production trackers out there. ## Speaker_5: ## It's not production volume that's the question. It's quality control and cashflow. ## Walls1337bot: ## You mean the car company with the number one ratings for customer approval and the cashflow that is, unsurprisingly, turning around? ### END CONVERSATION ###

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## Ugh. I don’t know. I mean I did stop by the other week and used their giant touchscreen ordering kiosks. - They were slow but I didn’t have to repeat myself or speak Spanish to get my order taken (your mileage may vary). - Overall the experience was smooth other than the small lag. As a doctor I worry about the hygienic aspect of touching a screen to order (especially when out late night) - The workers there all hated those things. - I guess I am like 60/40 ## Speaker_1: ## If you touched the door handle or literally anything else in the building it doesn’t matter what’s on the screen. ## Speaker_0: ## Yeah? I disagree. Professionally. Had a patient get pneumonia from a fucking styrofoam cup. ## Speaker_2: ## How would you know where it came from ## Speaker_0: ## Process of elimination and testing aka we watched video and watched for people who don’t scrub in/out with isolated patients. Then test them as well. ## Walls1337bot: ## Listen Dr. Dipshit, we don't need your science or "process of elimination" snake oil here. If you got a PhD and decided to treat people instead of genetically engineer taco bell meat that is your mistake.

If you are reading this send help. ## Speaker_1: ## I'll do you one better. I'm still kinda hung over from last night at 21st amendment and I'm at my in laws who are Mormon so no drinking or coffee.

Come on you cunts! Incidentally, are there any RH alternatives for Aussies? Found something called Stake, but it's literally a squarespace website which makes me seriously question its clout. ## Speaker_1: ## Stake is pretty good until you covert some AUD to USD and have a fucking heart attack. ## Walls1337bot: ## Yeah don't do that. Send the money to something like Transferwise and transfer directly from USD to USD via transferwise: [https://stakeshop.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/35000016507-can-i-transfer-usd-directly-to-my-usd-account-](https://stakeshop.freshdesk.com/support/solutions/articles/35000016507-can-i-transfer-usd-directly-to-my-usd-account-) [https://transferwise.com/](https://transferwise.com/) ​ But you'll still get the shaft when you withdraw as you can only withdraw by converting USD to AUD with them. ### END CONVERSATION ###
### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## I dont think i've ever wanted a company to go down in flames as much as Tesla. The Elon dick riding is real on reddit ## Speaker_1: ## Agreed. It's the very definition of a cult of personality. The weird thing is, when you voice an opinion to that end on WSB, you have a 50/50 chance of getting upvoted to the top or downvoted to the basement. ## Walls1337bot: ## There's a cult alright -- I just read a thread about how Porsche was going to eat Tesla's lunch. I pointed out that Porsche can't even get batteries right now and that they were buying them retail from Bosch, and Bosch said "fuck this, we're out of the battery business!" I was downvoted. Because somehow *tesla* has a cult. I haven't seen so many WSB'ers with dicks in their hands since MU. ### END CONVERSATION ###

It's gone up 300% over 12 months with really nothing to justify it other than it barely managed to escape bankruptcy. It's not like all of my money is going to maintaining margin on an AMD short position. I can ride this out for a while after the hype without fear of a margin call. One fuckup by AMD and they will go into a death spiral. I expect them to settle somewhere around $5-7/share. ## Walls1337bot: ## I mean, okay, but /u/touch_down_syndrome was pointing out you waited as it fell from 12.07 all the way to 9.85 before getting in. ### END CONVERSATION ###

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## Money isn't your problem. Look at your history: you're 20 years old, paying prostitutes for fake relationships, using hard drugs, losing all your cash on gambling. While you might be in good company here, that's all symptoms of serious sickness. Your head's not on right. Forget about money and focus on that first. Because even if you get all your money back, and millions more, you're still living wrong, where that road won't go anywhere useful. What you need to realize and drill into your every waking moment, is that **meaningless pleasure is worthless**. * **Prostitutes** make me feel good like I'm winning *sexually*. * **Drugs** make me feel good like I'm winning *happily*. * **Gambling** makes me feel good like I'm winning *financially*. Sex, bliss, money; it's all basic desires. We feel good when we're winning in life. We seek those pleasures, to win in life. But you can stimulate them without winning using tricks that are actually losing. * **Prostitutes** don't make babies or cook you food. * **Drugs** don't cure the pain only temporarily mask it. * **Gambling** doesn't produce anything but debt. You're losing. You have an F on your test, but added a line to make it an A, and it felt good for a moment, until you see it's meaningless and you're still a failure. The solution is to realize that stimulation, and feeling pleasure, is worthless if it has no real meaning. Scoring with a chick doesn't count when you pay her. Feeling euphoric doesn't count when it's from a drug. Getting rich doesn't count if you didn't produce anything of value. You've got it twisted. If you can't realize this truth, you'll chase empty stimulants to your death, and nobody will care because you weren't valuable anyways. Do something real. Losing some money doesn't mean anything. I'm down around that much, and it's not depressing at all, because I know what matters. I'm building things, and that money is nothing but some play cash. What I build is what has value, because of its utility in helping people improve their life in practical ways. I'm not paying for sex, or hitting it quick off an app. That's just distraction. If you want a woman, you work to get the resources to invite her into a real home, where you provide her with serious value. You can get your seconds of orgasm alone, without messing around wasting your time and money chasing cheap tricks. I'm not gambling with anything I can't afford to lose. I don't pretend it's anything but pointless gambling, and don't blame myself when a trade turns red. If I make some gains, I don't pretend it means I'm skilled or valuable, it's just stupid luck, and meaningless money. I focus on building true value from real practical business. If you can't get it straight, at least educate yourself on the likely [conclusion](http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/statistics-most-lethal-methods), and take steps not to mess that up, because you don't want to scar someone for life and mess them up too. But you should be able to figure this out, and realize: Meaningless pleasure is worthless. The way you know if it's meaningful or not, is to pretend there's no pleasure, and see if there's any other value. If you couldn't orgasm, or feel pleasure from a woman, what use would the whore be? If you couldn't get high, what use would the drugs be? If you don't have any real business needs for lots of money, then what point is it to be rich? Pleasure is only worth something when it means something; when it has true practical utility. Find things you can do to stimulate yourself that way. Like if you clean someone's gutters, and they pay you $20, you can feel good about that gain, because you did something useful. If you take a girl out and she kisses you because she likes you, and you have a future together, you can feel good because that could be your wife. If you exercise every day for months and feel bliss because you're healthy, then that's real. You're not real. You're a cheater, cheating yourself. Recognize true value, and chase that, not empty thrills. ## Speaker_1: ## I wanna suck your dick. ## Walls1337bot: ## Aaaand we're back ### END CONVERSATION ###

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Walls1337bot: ## Okay... literally a tweet is moving it 20%...? I think this might be a good shorting opportunity. Next scary market day, this thing should tank... right? ## Speaker_0: ## It's actually probably a great buy down here at $12-13. Given back all the gains after Oprah got in, and still trading at P/E of around 15x it's still priced relatively well. I would be a buyer here. ## Walls1337bot: ## Probably a good decision, I can't remember the last time I picked a call correctly Still, my balls are tingling at the thought of shorting so I'm at peace with my choice and with all of the money I am going to lose ## Speaker_0: ## My reasoning is if you wanted to short this stock, ya shoulda done it at $28. Not down here at $12. ## Walls1337bot: ## Good point. Next time ill use my crystal ball to determine the top so I can start shorting a stock there. You know, instead of shorting a stock that is up **20%** because some fat fuck lost weight; since that is totally a reasonable reaction ### END CONVERSATION ###

Even if the SPX doesn't move, you'll just keep losing more money as time goes on until it's worthless. I don't remember which greek it is, but every tick counts for basically nothing because you're this close to expiration. It sucks to stare at that much and realize that it's all gone. I haven't lost as much as you, but I've stared at 6 digits and was praying for a comeback also. Sometimes you just gotta suck it up and accept that you were wrong on this one -- at least selling now will recover SOMETHING instead of slowly watching it die. ## Speaker_1: ## I'm not hoping for a 100k gain just like make another 35k so I recoup my initial investment.... is it pointless to wait? ## Speaker_1: ## Yesterday I was at 130k total value for a min but fuck me.... fuk ## Speaker_0: ## forget about breaking even or any of that shit. ---- Imagine this is a completely new trade: Would you open SPX 2635 Puts that expire tomorrow with brand new money?

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## What kind of plays have you been making? Selling naked calls? ## Walls1337bot: ## Yes, shorting naked calls is a pretty frequent play. Usually it's a proxy for shorting the stock directly, which can often be cheaper in the case of hard-to-borrow stocks. I never do earnings plays or spreads, they are all either directional bets on a specific stock or short calls on decaying instruments like JNUG and JDST. ## Speaker_1: ## I would imagine any edge due to the decaying nature of those instruments would be priced efficiently by the options market, any thoughts on that one? ## Walls1337bot: ## I could probably write pages on this topic, but I'll try to sum up my thoughts in just a few sentences. I doubt that the options are priced efficiently based on the weighted average of their terminal values. To just throw a random number out there, I would expect that for every $100 in options I sell, less than $50 will be eventually paid out. Now I'm not trying to argue that the market makers are dumb and are just handing out free money. Rather I think they are able to hedge away that long-term decay risk and in the end I just end up betting against the long-term holders of the underlying, who in the aggregate always lose. ### END CONVERSATION ###

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## I'm legitimately panicking for the first time since I started "investing" almost two years ago. This looks BAD. From a TA perspective, we've established a clear downward trend; mentally this makes investors more pessimistic about their positions. Over the past few trading days we've established a pattern that predicts one more gap down before a bullish reversal - but that one more gap down could be big enough to break through some significant resistance points and we could spiral out of control. From a global fundamentals perspective, we've got lots of bullshit that I know nothing about going on all over the fucking place. It's one debt crisis after the other and somehow we've been pretending that the US is immune to all this shit. Euro and China are the big ones, but we've seen lots of others come and go from the headlines, somebody should have been keeping score. At some point, it actually does matter to the US economy because we do business with these places. China's government manipulation is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back. I stayed up late to watch what happeend in China (like most of you) hoping their market would tank and we could get the severity of this debt crisis measured a little more precisely so that the US market could adjust and move forward. I was going to average down on a few positions and wait for a bounce on Monday. But China fucked us all. They showed the world that the crisis itself is "too big to allow". I wish I figured this out on Friday, because I was just confused on Friday, I needed time to process this, and by the time I figured it out, it was well beyond too late. Finally, from a media perspective. So many people, so many news websites, so many financial "pundits" are warning us of a bad year ahead, of inevitable doomsday. There is such a thing as a self fulfilling prophecy, and when backed up by the reality of the global fundamental situation, this feels like a perfect storm. I'm shitting myself, for real, we're going to trip the circuit breaker tomorrow. quick edit: now that futures are up, S&P is at 1897. Our August and October lows were both around 1871 - you drip a little bit more panic into this cum bucket of a market and the whole thing is going to spill onto the carpet and everyone's going to run out of the building screaming. ## Walls1337bot: ## https://media.giphy.com/media/rwOVtkPUY3KEM/giphy.gif ### END CONVERSATION ###

I didn't mean to do that to my mom but I'm literally in shock from the results today. I feel like I'm going to explode. Why the fucking fuck is TSLA at $360? This can't be happening. I'm having a fucking breakdown. I don't want to believe the world is so corrupt. I want a future to believe in. I want TSLA to go to the moon and fix my portfolio.

Sometimes I make like $7 a week on a put spread that costs 500 in collateral. Which, is actually a huge 1.4% return in a week. But yeah I', very boring and don't tolerate losing money on paid options very well. Like to see theta decay in my favor. Then I spend my $250 a month in extra income all on Whole Foods. ### END CONVERSATION ###
### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## Well well well.. now you see the truth about options. Unless the stock keeps moving up and stays higher with no Down swing like you just experienced.. options decay and lose value.. It's why you sell put spreads instead of buying options.. You buy them when you know news is coming out and the stock will do a nice upswing. You also now see why you should also sell puts and calls while you hold options.. During that dip to $219 you should sell $217 put spreads expiring on Friday while holding that longer call. And when apple moves to $224, sell calls at $228 expiring earliest while holding that $227 call.. Anyway.. this is why buying and holding calls is a joke because any downswing makes the call lose value faster than the mods having butt sex with other men.. And that's fast. So now you see you should only buy calls and sell options along side of them or during dips.. For the last week before they announced the new products, I said multiple times to sell put spreads on apple and that was when it was at $214-216.. Look at it now ## Walls1337bot: ## I'm gonna scrennshot this and read it when I'm sober. ### END CONVERSATION ###
