This is the difference between a sensationalist journalist, who keeps harping on the drug prices being raised and Shkreli smirking in front of the congress, and an intelligent and logical judge. Fuck the media, absolutely disgusting manipulation of the population.

Options are widowmakers, their best use is as risk management tools to protect and enhance portfolio returns. They are most definitely perhaps the worst choice for day trading, maybe behind only commodity futures options.
## Speaker_1: ##
You're on the wrong sub friend.
## Speaker_0: ##
I have a friend who was a floor pro trading options and even with his proximity and ability to react, it was difficult for him to make a living, but not impossible. He gained great expertise though and made a small fortune. I know enough to be cautious and, over the years have, at best, broken even. So my counsel is along the lines of... Bulls make money, Bears make money and Pigs get slaughtered. Its a nonsense saying, but fun to think about when buying volatility and risk.
## Speaker_2: ##
Its really not that nonsense of a saying IMO. Just ask around here how often people watch their positions rise to +400% and they end up selling at a 75% loss because they wouldnt take profit on even part of the position because of greed. Id argue its actually one of the more logical sayings.
## Speaker_3: ##

## Speaker_1: ##
Once you have a margin account you are subject to PDT rules.
It's no longer a cash-account so you can no longer day-trade with less than $25k.

## Speaker_3: ##
no you don't... perhaps you have a Robinhood instant account? which is a margin account without the margin.

Why wasn't this even mentioned in the big short
## Speaker_1: ##
There's a Narrative that needs to be pushed: the housing bubble and subsequent collapse were solely the result of wall street's greed and ignorance and 'predatory lending.' Certainly a lot of truth to that but without federal housing programs which essentially mandated subprime lending, enabled and amplified by the Fed's easy money, a bubble never would have formed in the first place. That part doesn't fit the Narrative.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Disagree. This "govt programs for poor people caused the housing bubble" narrative really is garbage. It's about low interest rates. When % is low, people look for more yield, and risk gets priced cheaper. And when there is a demand for more yield, guess what? Banks supply it. Hence CDS. Hence derivatives. Hence mortgage bundling. Poor people don't bundle mortgages into bonds and sell derivative swaps against them. hence poor people did not cause the bubble. [I am the author of the Cramer post, btw.]

I wonder what the stipulations are going to be for Robinhood options. They can't even short stock on that platform, so there goes a couple of options strategies. I feel like there is a big catch for this, there's no way they're going to let the entire platform trade super leveraged position without some kind of scrutiny.
Robinhood doesnt even label their charts with X/Y, these dudes are going to open their accounts and see some wild ass swings on a line chart and not know wtf is going on. I feel like the platform has to be improved pretty drastically if they plan on having options on a shitty mobile app.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Why? They let people borrow margin which imo is riskier than a lot of options. The only thing that is sketch is level 4 which isn’t covered by RH.
Plenty of crazy risky stuff on RH. Like ugaz and xiv that will wipe you out in a heartbeat or just slowly kill you (ugaz).

Once he turned down the offer, was he allowed to swap his briefcase for the one on the stage?
## Speaker_1: ##
Yes and he's stupid for not doing it. Clearly the guy doesn't know how math works otherwise he would have swapped. Much higher chances of the $750,000 being in the other box. The odds of picking $750,000 off the bat would be 1/26. The odds of the $750,000 being in the briefcase on stage were 1/2 in the end.
​
You gotta be a WSB'er to take the 1/26 odds over the 1/2 odds. And by be a WSB'er I mean autist.
## Walls1337bot: ##
That’s... not true. You’re referencing the Monte Hall problem, but in that scenario the host gives you additional information by opening up a losing door for you before you have the option to make the switch. In this case, no additional information is given, so the odds are 1/2 either way.
## Speaker_2: ##
[deleted]
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah, the odds are 1/2 for both cases, unlike the monte hall problem where the odds for the starting door is 1/3 and the odds for the new door is 2/3
https://math.stackexchange.com/questions/609969/deal-or-no-deal-monty-hall
The key in the monte hall problem is that the host gave additional information, he knew that the door he opened was losing. In this case cases are randomly opened, thus no outside information is given

Sorry, no loss porn to show you. I bought a bond fund last night after selling it a few months ago, or rather I'll get it in a few days when markets open.
I'm way down on a blue chip utility, way up on Diageo, up on a few trackers, down on a commodities fund, flat on BAE, lost 500 betting on currencies in 2007 and never day traded since. Made a bit betting on football, tennis, horse racing, dog racing, and golf. Those bets were fun.
## Speaker_2: ##
Why would you buy bonds? They have terrible returns compared to the stock market
## Speaker_1: ##

Your portfolio looks fine, but a word of caution for others...
If you are going to buy LEAPS (btw, the S stands for securities; Long Term Equity Anticipation Securities), go deep in the money.
If you go too far OTM you risk getting slaughtered. Look at $WFM for a recent example. If you thought it was going to $45, you got burned.
Use LEAPS to lever up, not for speculation. FDs are for speculation.

That's amazon's options chain for Jan 2018. (216 Days out as of today).
Deep ITM (In the money) would be a 920 strike for Calls, 1055 strike for Puts.
## Speaker_0: ##
Cool, thanks. One last question. For the 920 calls, how much would the underlying have to move for those to be profitable?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Check the Delta.
DITM is usually classified as 0.80 delta.
If the stock moves $1, you make $0.80.
But now the delta is probably 0.82.
The next $1 move makes you $0.82.
When you buy OTM options, you're betting on Delta, Lambda, Vega, Theta, and Rho.
Then you get into second derivatives like Gamma, Vanna, Vomma, Charm, Veta, Vera.
Then there is third order derivatives like Color, Speed, Ultima, and Zomma.
I'm guessing when you buy options your main play is Delta and trying to fight theta.
## Speaker_2: ##
Yep, I'm not ready to trade options.
## Walls1337bot: ##

His views are very much in line with policies already in effect in countries like UK, Germany, or South Korea. None of these countries are socialist/communist/ or dictatorships.

The grass is NOT greener over there in Europe and Norway is well off with it's oil money fund. But...it is like the DMV runs your healthcare.

I live in a country packed with electric cars. It's really not very good and it's very hard to get the car charged and you run into a lot of new problems. When 400,000 people will get these Teslas with limited infrastructure, the positivity will turn. It will be bad.
## Speaker_2: ##
Talk for yourself and your shitty third world country. In most of Europe, the infrastructure has been catching up/developed real fast with electric cars.
## Speaker_1: ##
I think Norway is number one in electric cars. It's not enough. And the absolute worst cars to own here are Teslas. Because they don't work on industry standard fast chargers, take 40+ hours to fully charge on normal voltage and the so called super chargers are nowhere near any town. Only in the middle of nowhere
## Walls1337bot: ##
I live in norway with a tesla and you are wrong. Superchargers are ment for roadtrips, not everyday charging. People with a tesla usually have a charger with higher voltage, so from 0%-100% takes only like 4 hours, maybe 5. Usually less since you never drive it down to 0%. Owning a tesla, especially if you drive alot in the city, is amazing, especially in norway.

Vanguard blows. When I went to their office for a job interview and they said, “if you want to get rich, Vanguard is not the place for you.” I also heard they time your bathroom breaks.

## Speaker_0: ##
The offer they gave me was 35k less than the job I have now, not including bonuses. I was told by a former employee that it’s like working for the Walmart of the investing world.
Also I read a bunch of glassdoor reviews saying that their jobs were not meaningful and felt like they were just cogs in a machine.
Personally, it wasn’t a good fit. They wanted me to be a star without getting any credit. My mindset is that I live to work, so I want my decisions to be meaningful. Vanguard’s analyst position was like a regular 9-5 job (a work to live kind of situation). I wasn’t impressed by any of the managers either.
And I love my current job now. Much smaller work environment on the top floor of a high rise. More money. A boss that is an absolute genius. It’s a better fit for me at least.

I believe that's a 11% growth for 105 years, over inflation.

The Hood ornament, shape of the front grill, and the lights mounted to the body beside the spare tire makes me think this is actually a [1929 Chrysler Series 75 Roadster.](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/uCafYZV6YZE/maxresdefault.jpg) One sold at [Barrett Jackson](http://www.barrett-jackson.com/Events/Event/Details/1929-CHRYSLER-SERIES-75-ROADSTER-188478) for about $46k (after fees).

Okay, question. Remember when the bailouts were taking place years ago..i think it was 2008 or 2009 timeframe. I remember all over the news they were saying people were mad at the 1% because many got rich off the crash by shorting stocks.
Did they mean those people were selling puts? Is that what is meant by shorting?

"Look at that town down there." he replied. "You see the car factory i bought out in Fremont where thousands of people work ? I built that company with honest funding and ousting of the founders. But do they call me Elon, the Car builder ? No.
"And you see this rocket design center right there ? I made this company after i got mad at Russians for not selling me a rocket. And do they call me...Elon, the Rocket Man? No."

Everyone here thinks you're retarded, which is why this might actually be a good move. If MU were to have a moderate jump, you could profit even if still really far OTM. If you have 44 days left on this option, that means that if the price goes above your implied increase of $0.69 per day, oh god you're fucked.
## Speaker_1: ##
Can you elaborate on the implied increase of $0.69 per day? What does that mean and how did you get that number?
## Speaker_0: ##
I should preface this by saying that everything I say below is probably wrong. But, if you're buying a stock OTM, you are essentially paying for a prediction that a stock will climb above this price by that day.
Let's say that I am buying a call on a stock trading at $100 with a strike of $150 for $5 per contract expiring 5 trading days from now. If the stock is trading at $110 the next day, the option should still be worth $5, since my prediction is slowly becoming true.
If the stock is trading at $115 on that second day, the option would presumably be worth more than I paid for it, since my prediction is coming true faster than the expiry is approaching.
Doing some quick back of the envelope math, I calculated that the $31 you need the stock to go up over 44 days would work out to the stock needing to go up just over $0.69 every day for your prediction to come true. I'm using the current price as the basis for my "math", so I guess you could increase my numbers by 50% to get a rough idea with your buy in price.
So using your options, if MU were trading at $61 tomorrow, you could likely sell for a profit. This should hold true even if it dips and then trades at $62 Thursday, or $63 on Friday. If it goes above that, you might even make some money.
I'm also (incorrectly) assuming linear decay of your option, when it is actually an accelerating decay. You should check out http://optionsprofitcalculator.com to get a good idea of what your option will be worth each day at a given stock price.
## Speaker_1: ##
Thanks for the thorough breakdown. My plan was just to cash out as soon as MU gets a pop even if it doesn't reach 90$. However, first time trading options and I didn't realize how big of an issue liquidity is with super OTM options. Now I know how fucked I am.
## Speaker_2: ##

Positions were mostly SPY, amazon, and Tesla. Went 80k+ worth of contract a time and just traded with the trend. Followed the +30%/-20% rule and stuck with it!
Edit: Also, just to clarify this is not me. This is my boss who I introduced to options. He started with a capital of 19k a month ago and ultimately reached 25k last Friday. Starting this week off with 25k he reached 180k just following the trend. He doesn’t read charts or follow/understand support and resistance levels. Each trade he does, he maxes it out, meaning he puts his entire portfolio into ONE option and buys the most he can and exits based on +30%/-20%.
TLDR: 25k to 190k in a week following trends.
## Speaker_0: ##
Mind to elaborate on the +30%/-20% rule?
## Walls1337bot: ##
When your contracts reach +30% or -20%, you exit no matter what.. you really have to be disciplined to do this. Now mind you he has the ability to day trade so for those who can’t day trade, a different approach might work better.
## Speaker_1: ##
That's what, 8 winning +30% trades in 1 week?
## Walls1337bot: ##
There were times when he would let it run past the 30%, but always progressively locked gains.. The MOST important thing is KNOWING and being DISCIPLINED enough to know how to cut your losses at the -20% mark or less.

Seriously though, put a GTC limit order in to sell 3x of the 180 8/31s for $1.40. If a quick spike happens and it fills, you've got all your investment back and still a potential $750 win at expiration.
## Speaker_0: ##
I don’t have 25k to day trade
## Walls1337bot: ##
I know you don't. That's why I'm telling you to enter into a spread which will put cash in your pocket without you having to even watch the screen.
## Speaker_0: ##
Dude r u serious this works? I’ve been fucked by a lot of people trying to help but laugh at me and call me a tard in the end for following ;(
## Walls1337bot: ##
Well that's what you get for being on WSB. But yes, some of us know what we're talking about.
When you have two options that work together, that's known as a Spread. If I buy a $177.5 call and sell a $180 call, that's known as a Vertical Spread. Suppose I were to do that right now:
Buy 8/31 FB $177.5 = 1.43.
Sell 8/31 FB $180.0 = 0.85.
Net payment: 0.58
So instead of paying $143 per contract I've only paid $58 per contract. That saves a lot of cash. (Or I could buy more spreads if I'm a degenerate.)
Now if FB goes up, both options will increase in value. However, the 177.5 which I bought will ALWAYS be worth more than the 180 I sold. However, it will be a maximum of 2.50 more because that's the difference. So you're giving up huge multiples in exchange for a cheaper buy-in and better odds.
Consider 1x this spread at 0.58 instead of 1x 177.5 at 1.43:
* Stock ends below 177.5. Worth $0, but I lost $58 instead of $143.
* Stock ends at $178.5. My long call is worth $1, and the short call is worth $0. I made a 72% profit. If I'd just bought a single call, it would also be worth $1 but I'd have lost 30%.
* Stock ends at $180.0. My long call is worth $2, the short call is worth $0. I made 344% or $192. The single call would have gained too, but only up 75% or $1.07.
* Stock ends at $200. My long call is worth $22.50, the short call is worth $20.00. I still made 344% or $192. However, the single call would be up 22.50/1.43 = 1473% or $2107.
So if you really think it's going to shoot way up, don't sell the short end of your spread below that. You can indeed make a huge profit on that gamble. However, most of the time you will get screwed if the stock goes down or just trades flat. Selling into a spread to mark a reasonable top saves you cash and still gives you a reasonable upside.
Now what I suggested is actually slightly more complicated since you're already in. You could just sell that 180 now at whatever the price is - 0.85 when I started typing this. Then it would work out exactly as I said. However, my suggestion was to put a sell order in on the 180 strike for exactly what you paid on the 177.5. There's no guarantee it will fill. But if it does, you still have the 2.50 of upside I described but get all your money back early.

Been reading China daily and local papers in English for years. I’ve convinced myself that they already made a deal in principal and will announce it this weekend. This based solely on the way the China daily talks about the meeting. The language they use to describe the conflict as compared to months ago and the presentation of compromise as a win win. It has changed drastically as compared to a few months ago. Timing makes sense for trump to shadow mueller investigation. Also based solely on my 30 12/14. 280c. lmao.
Edit: also Goldick Sackfucks thinks it will blow up. More reason to think it will go well.
## Speaker_1: ##
China daily is propaganda level disconnected with reality. They will say anything that paints China on an optimistic light, please tell me how there is a possible positive spin on continuing the trade war from China's perspective
## Speaker_0: ##
They are propaganda. Aka the mouthpiece of the party. They are prepping the populace to accept a trade deal as being hard fought. Hard won. And in the best interest of China with compromise on both sides. The Chinese do not necessarily do zero sum negotiation and value harmonious outcomes. The propaganda China daily seems to be prepping people for a harmonious solution.
## Speaker_1: ##
But what I'm saying is what other spin could they possibly have and publish. I think if a deal were not close, they would still publish articles with this spin because there really isn't an alternative spin that they can project. They have to signal that the trade war is close to over cause even if it's not true it's the best they have.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Not really. If they were in the middle of negotiations, you don’t want to show your hands or submission. I think a good point is raised that the narrative is changing in Chinese papers. Good be a turning point in the trade war.

If you plan on holding, turn those into a call spread by selling a higher strike to reduce losses.

Honey what is a call spread pls explain i need some tight holding. If I sell higher strike calls won't that net me only a couple hundred bucks credit and cap MU GAINZ severely?

As engineering graduate hold on to your thesis till you see all of your peers actually walk out the door with their B.S. in engineering. There's weed out courses in college for a reason. Also even if they do all graduate with bachelor's, master's and PhD's will just become the new bachelor's degree. And then the other thing is that right now tech is flooded with H1B1 and green card workers. So even if we do get a huge flood of engineering students we can always just push out the H1B1's and have them take their spot.

His testimony was supposed to bring down Trump but he didn't say anything useful. This Trump presidency is not jeopardized and Dow stays high because Trump is perceived as being good for business.
## Speaker_2: ##
Didn't say anything useful?
Comey called the President a liar under oath, essentially inferred that Pence is complicit regarding Flynn, inferred that the President wanted him to drop Flynn's open criminal investigation, stated the President fired him due to the investigation, and implicated AG Sessions.
## Speaker_3: ##
Everyone else must have missed the part where what he didn't say and what he "inferred" matter.
## Speaker_2: ##
> stated the President fired him due to the investigation
Isn't useful then?
## Speaker_4: ##
Comey said he pretty much expected to get fired at some point, and that Trump could have fired him at any point for practically any reason.
Firing Comey for not liking how he handled the Russian investigation is a nothingburger, that's the problem. If Trump forced Comey to stop the investigation, that would be entirely different. It's not like any investigation dies with Comey's absence.
## Speaker_5: ##

## Speaker_6: ##
The president has complete authority to not only fire the FBI director (his subordinate) for any reason but he also has the ultimate prosecutorial discretion as the head of the executive branch. He could have openly directed Comey to stop the Flynn investigation and *still* not be guilty of obstruction. Obstruction relies on some level of corruption. Comey testified himself that Trump was not implicated in any way in the FBI's Russia investigation. So where's the corruption?

Bro I just went back to college Rodney Dangerfield style at a top ranked state university. CS graduates are getting $100-120k/year from Google and Apple right after graduation. The problem with you thesis is this: EVERY COMPANY IS A TECHNOLOGY COMPANY NOW. Maybe Amazon doesn't have room for every CS graduate but guess what? Everyone from Monsanto to Pepsi needs to build software, apps, etc. There will be jobs for people your age. You'll be working for me.
This might make a good paper for your AP whatever class but it's not real life. You sound like an entitled kid with too much time on your hands. Go volunteer at the dog shelter or something.
## Speaker_1: ##
> There will be jobs for people your age. You'll be working for me.
I can guarantee you 100% I won't be working for anyone. My family owns an extremely large company, and after finishing my MBA I will take over it.
>This might make a good paper for your AP whatever class but it's not real life. You sound like an entitled kid with too much time on your hands. Go volunteer at the dog shelter or something.
Not a thesis, just sharing my DD. Just like I do roughly once a month, and am always right. And the reason I'm entitled is because I can be entitled.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You can skip the MBA since you'll be working for daddy anyway. Hell, just drop out right now, kid. Save yourself the time and effort.
## Speaker_1: ##
That's why you're unsuccessful, and will never be successful. Pathetic.
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you think about it, for your level of intelligence, getting an MBA is simply redundant. 1) You're in high school, but yet know everything. 2) Since you know everything, you don't need more education 3) Because you don't need more education, you can drop out now, and go work for daddy... for whom you'll be working for anyway, if you had gone to college for 4 years and completed an MBA on top of that.
## Speaker_1: ##
I plan on completing the MBA mainly because I actually fear that I can fuck the company up, and just because I THINK I know what I have to do, it doesn't mean I do know.
The company is worth more than you could guess, and making it nose-dive wouldn't be very good. Even though my family has income through Stocks, Real Estate, Ruby Mines, Farms, and Multiple companies, this company alone is a lot of money per month. I would never go in blindfolded, just because I THINK I can.

I can imagine an IRS agent is going to find this sub and laughing his/her ass off at all the tax write-offs we have floating around.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You can only claim so much, though. A couple years ago, I took a huge hit, and only last year used the last of it up due to large gains.
## Speaker_1: ##
3k. RIP my 22k of my 25k in $EXXI losses
## Speaker_2: ##
huh? It's called a carry-over, you don't lose that $22k, you'll just claim it over the next 8 years lol.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah I actually was surprised when they let me take 3k again last year.
Mega RIP this year. I've had about 30k in actualized gains since the election. Those theft agents are going to be salivating over getting to steal 25% of my tendies
## Walls1337bot: ##
Your carry-over is 3k, but that's just losses you can claim. If you have gains, you can apply the carry-over losses against the gains in full. So if you still have 23k of loss carrying over from two years ago, and you made 30k profit this year, you only pay tax on 7k of that profit.
## Speaker_3: ##
Wait, for real?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yes, your losses apply against your profit to determine how much tax you pay. If your losses are greater than your profits, then you can only claim 3k of those losses per year. Anything over that 3k carry's over to the next year. So a really big loss could help offset taxes for several years.
## Speaker_3: ##
Sorry, I got confused. I thought you were saying if one year resulted in a loss of, say, 10k, and the second year resulted in gains of 15k, that you could claim 7k in losses from the first year in the second year. But you are meaning if the loss and gain happened in the same year correct?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Year one, you have 10k losses. You can claim 3k in deductions. 7k carries over to the next year.
Year two, you have 15k gains. You had 7k of losses carried over, so you pay tax on 8k of gains.
Year three, you have nothing carried over, so your tax is based on whatever happened this year, with a maximum of 3k losses being deductible.

Where do you think you are
## Speaker_1: ##
Per your previous comment about half of the users here have access/use Bloombergs, I would assume that some would probably have their CFA charters as well.
## Speaker_0: ##
What? 50% of people here do not use Bloomberg. The overlap of people that have Bloomberg terminals and can fuck around on Reddit all day is minimal
## Speaker_1: ##
Sorry, got you confused with /u/whatsanoption. He's the one who said that.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Saw your comment popup on my Bloomberg Terminal (Thank god it lets your have a web browser) - Just wanted to address the facts really quick here in between trades: /u/ReadIntoThisName is a fucking liar, and thats why he has that flair.

He's probably mad cause he 40 and working as a greeter at Walmart while a high schooler just made five year his salary in 12 days.
I heard Walmart is increasing its wages by a couple cents so he's got that going for him...
## Speaker_2: ##
Yup, 26 with a cute Asian girlfriend. You totally called it. I don't I've stepped inside a Walmart in 5 years. I also live downtown next to everything in my city. how's jacking off and being a faggot treating you?

Dude you are SO sick.. Wow. You don't go to Walmart? You must be super high end. So sick.

1k limit? What am I, poor?
## Speaker_1: ##
Its not 1k limit you just get 1k immediately available for trading when you make a deposit instead of waiting years for all your funds to come in.
## Speaker_2: ##
Only insured to $500k though.

If you are trading > $500k on an iphone app you're doing it wro.... Actually you are in the right subreddit.

I've always had respect for Elon, but this was just plain retarded. I think he's losing it.
## Speaker_1: ##
100+ hour work weeks can do that to a man
## Speaker_0: ##
That’s probably true. I feel like he is obsessed. Dude needs to take a vacation and get his head straight, or he’s gonna get tunnel vision.
## Speaker_2: ##
The most vacation he takes is one day or two every now and then. Longest vacation was a week in 2000 just because he got malaria. The dude wants to work so hard he'll die on the desk, and we should respect him
## Speaker_3: ##
Nope, I dont think that's respectable. The man is insane.
## Speaker_2: ##
You wouldn't do it, I wouldn't do it, he wants to. I don't think he has much in his life other than work, but that's how he wants it
## Speaker_3: ##
He has a family that he is obviously neglecting. I really dont find it respectable ks all I'm saying.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Multiple families he's neglecting. He likes spreading his genetic material and then getting divorced.

You can try not to be an asshole, and you should do so, but the stink of a false accusation never comes off.
I was falsely accused at one job and even when I went back there 5 years later it still came up in my comeback interview.
## Speaker_1: ##
Need more backstory dawg
## Speaker_0: ##
I was working a security job right around the time the US went into Afghanistan. One of my coworkers had a husband who was over there.
One Friday night, there’s five or six of us in the security office shooting the shit. She tells me we should go get a beer after work. I say no, that I have to pick up my dog, etc. Hint not received. She keeps asking, I keep saying no, including finally saying she’s married to a deployed soldier and I didn’t think that was right. She still didn’t take it as a no.
I finally barked back “No! I’m not interested, so stop asking!!!”
She came in the next day and told the site supervisor that I had pinned her against a wall and saying we needed to get a drink after work and go fuck.
Thankfully between video cameras and coworkers who saw the discussion go down, they knew she was full of shit, but I was suspended while it was going on, and then go to our district office to kiss the ring for even getting in that position in the first place.
Years later they started calling and asking me to come back, so I agreed. I still had to interview as part of EEOE/AA bullshit, and that was the very first thing they asked me about.
## Speaker_0: ##
So now when you get someone like Kavanaugh being accused, fuck yeah I’m skeptical. Believe all women my ass. There’s a large amount that know those kind of accusations are like a hydrogen bomb.
## Walls1337bot: ##
As always, you should take any accusation with a pinch of salt. But it's important to avoid attacking women/men who accuse and women/men that are accused until you are certain of the truth.

MU might drop under $50B this week
## Speaker_0: ##
Just curious, what's your PT on MU?
## Walls1337bot: ##
What I think it should be worth after each of the next three ER's: $85, $100, $120.
Probable PT range: $40\-80 \(useless, I know\)
## Speaker_1: ##
Serious question, I have options for March 23 and 29th, at 42, 45, 50, 52 I bought when it was around 43. Should I hold through all this tariff bullshit till earnings?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I would sell it all and buy Jan'19's calls, anywhere from $50-$60 strikes. $MU is not something you want to toy with in the near term, it likes to tank for months at a time for no reason.
I have April 50c's that I would unload if $MU hits the low $50's

Everything looked like it was getting better and that tweet killed it
## Speaker_1: ##
The reality setting in that he is fucking clueless is what killed it. Equity markets generally ignore politicians, but he became too much of a factor to ignore. Global slow down, fed policy, near-zero ROI on the tax cuts, and that fucktards inability to get out of his own way is what killed it.
The funniest thing about this place, though, is that the same people that still cheer this dude on are the same ones *still* getting taken to the woodshed and losing all $2000 they had in RH.
