The problem in my view is barrier to entry for most young people. Certifications and degrees are tantamount to waste in lieu of verifiable experience. We all know at least a few people that cannot break into industry despite their education and work ethic. Perhaps it's a lacking of apprenticeships, not internships, or the unwillingness of companies to outlay cash and lost productivity to train skilled replacements for their workforce. I'm not talking about breaking into heavily unionized industries like auto or utilities. Rather, I'm speaking about the skilled trades like plumbing, glazing, baking, butchery, heavy machinery, and trucking.
## Speaker_1: ##
Or people could just get an accounting degree and never be unemployed ever
## Speaker_2: ##
Yeah, until you start taking classes and you *hate* accounting. Then you can't bear to continue your degree while you have repeat existential crises because you don't want to have to do this boring bullshit the rest of your life. Then you become a history major because it's actually what you want to do, get great grades, learn a shit ton about the world, you graduate and of course, can't find a job in your field. Going back to school so you can get into education isn't worth it because you'd be making just as much as you currently do but with more debt because teachers don't get paid shit. So you scramble and figure out all these weird ways to make money on the internet while sitting at home on your computer on days you aren't working your day job. Then you start thinking "fuck... I still need more income to cover my own ass and pay all these bills" so you start investing your money and coming up with business ideas, all the while thinking...
"Boy would that accounting degree sure have come in handy right now."
This is *totally* a story I just came up with and not real life.
## Speaker_1: ##
Lmao yeah I feel you. Unfortunately the world runs on boring bullshit so that's what's in demand. Do I love my job every day? No. Do I make six figures at 27 years old? Yes.

I'm not sure why nobody has mentioned this yet, but SPX options are index options and under the 60-40 rule. I don't have etrade, but your PL shouldn't show up as all short-term gains (when I trade SPX options through Fidelity, it would show 60% as long-term gains and 40% as short-term gains). If you're trading six-figure amounts of SPX options I'm assuming you know this already.
$1,476,964.48 of your profit will be taxed at 20% ($295,392.90) not 37% ($546,476.86) so if this is all news to you, you will be paying ~$250,000 less taxes than you thought you would.

## Speaker_6: ##
Rural folk have higher rates of suicide in general. Part of it is not having enough forced social interactions for others to see warning signals and provide moral / medical support, and the other part is seeing the same 3 people every day can get depressing.

What's the possibility that this is trade war is actually the perfect storm of trade wars?
We have an overheating economy that would have to be cooled by raising the short term rate but that could invert the yield curve, which would likely cause a recession just on its occurrence (reasonable or not).
The Chinese trump card (no pun) would be to sell their Treasury reserves but that would raise yields, effectively doing what we need anyway (creating room to allow us to raise short term rates without inverting the yield curve).
This is hitting at a time when the U.S. economy is expanding but the Chinese economy is contracting, giving us the greatest leverage possible.
Any other time in history the threat of a Treasury dump or slowing economic growth would be nightmare scenario but with the massive QE balance sheet to be unwound and no foreseeable way to do that in an orderly fashion, a trade war with China might provide the only counterweight large enough to avoid hyperinflation. It would certainly explain his apparent determination to make this much, much larger than it currently is. A small trade war won't provide a sufficient counterweight and would force additional, destabilising, rate hikes.
I'm no fan of the cheeto and I'm aware that this analysis aligns fairly closely with that of Jim Cramer but is it possible that...they're right?
## Speaker_0: ##
The Chinese economy is expected to grow at over 5%
## Walls1337bot: ##
According to who? The Chinese? Because I think we all stopped believing those numbers a while ago. The Shanghai Composite fell 12% in 4 weeks, down nearly 20% on the year. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-07-05/china-stocks-slide-to-two-year-low-as-yuan-drops-before-tariffs.

## Speaker_0: ##
Dropping the yaun may be to keep prices low so they can steal business. That's the "currency manipulation" part.
Stock market isn't the same as GDP growth. That could be foreign investments moving money away from them.

Look into it. It's true. Donald Trump is the time traveller known as John titor. Ingersoll Lockwood books 1893 talk about donald and baron trump when they travelled back to the 1800s.
John trump worked for MIT and acquired Nikola Tesla's notes. He passed down Nikola Tesla's unfinished work to Donald Trump when he died in the 80s, among this work was a time machine.
Trump is going to expose all these people.

I am actually banned forever from that sub for saying people who make 500K are not human garbage. It is a fucking dictatorship ran by idiots, which is unsurprisingly similar to all of the communist countries in our history.
## Speaker_1: ##
I got banned for saying a guy making 600,000 is more valuable to a company than the guy making 60,000, and that paying everyone equally will kill growth.
## Speaker_2: ##
Damn, their ceiling is real low.
I mean, no one produces $2B in value in a single day, but lots of people can produce $600K of value in a year.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah but it’s a sub full of millenials that think they’re entitled to a good wage. The quicker you realize that nobody owes you shit and it’s up to you to make something of yourself, the better off you’ll be in life.
## Speaker_3: ##
Oh get off the anti-millennial circlejerk. There are shitty entitled people of all generations, and if you only see it in "today's youth" then that means you just finally don't see yourself as youth.
Not to mention, today's youth has accumulated more debt with less quality financial opportunities (aka not just burger flipping) than ever before. Even the ones you think are entitled are really just pissed because of the mountain of debt they had to take on just to enter the workforce. Of course they want a high salary, they need it just to pay down the debt they had to take just to be granted access to the workforce!
I'm a millennial. You know why I trade? Because I want to build more wealth than the shitty opportunities that have been presented to me would allow me. There are plenty out there busting ass.

Last couple girls of his were super models... One of his documentaries his model girlfriend is like "I was just talking to him at the bar and he started to show me pictures of his spaceships... I thought he was joking" the guy is the smartest of us all but still thinks with his dick when it comes to women
Long Elong Musk
## Walls1337bot: ##
In Ashlee Vance's biography last year (Elon Musk, really great read with full permission and interviews from him) she dives into his relationships a lot.
Basically in short, he's a romantic guy obsessed with his work which puts strain on any relationship. He dates Tallulah Riley, an actress 15 years younger than him, after they met in a bar. He was surrounded by super models but had no interest in them, but she showed genuine interest in his work (and thought he was joking about building spaceships). When she got home she looked him up and realised who he was. They carried on talking after that - she was still living with her parents in London, and Elon asked her to move in with him. She had a really awkward conversation with her parents "Hey Dad, I'm moving to America to live with this billionaire who is 15 years older than me". She was a struggling actress at the time, so it was kinda like giving up on a career.
They got married, divorced and remarried, and now i believe they are amicably divorced again. She describes Elon as not just rich and smart, but also kind and warm and funny. A lot of his close friends describe him that way. As an actress she's doing pretty well these days, she was in Westworld.
The whole book is amazing and I highly recommend it for anyone who has even a passing in Elon Musk or his companies. It not only gives the history of the businesses, but also dives into who he is and how he thinks, and doesn't pull punches - they interview people with antagonistic relationships too, and Musk has made some really cold, messed up decisions in the past.
So yeah. He's a romantic with a big heart and an even bigger wallet, and an even bigger brain. If you hold stock in TSLA you should 100% read the book. Just Google Elon Musk Ashlee Vance.

Shrkeli bought out a company and raised the price of one of their drugs from $16 a pill to $750.
Cue massive hysteria about how Shrkeli is the devil because now people are going to die from not being able to afford a life saving drug.
Shrkeli argues that it is the insurance companies that pay for the price. And that if someone doesn't have insurance, they can get it for free. He also says it is good because they wouldn't be profitable otherwise, and that the revenue helps fund new research.
The professor dude is arguing that he must of known that people will die as a result of his price hike. He says he's heard the argument that people can get it for free if they don't have insurance, but from everything he's heard it is not a very feasible option, and that people have in fact died from lack of insurance.
Shrkeli seems to argue that his drug costs just 20k total to be fully treated while other drugs cost hundreds of thousands to millions. And he asks "how is it that people aren't dying from these drugs despite way higher costs?".

## Walls1337bot: ##
The point is you'd buy every ticket. In which case there is guaranteed to be a winner.
## Speaker_1: ##
Specifically picking each of the 292201338 combinations of numbers is logistically impossible. The best you could do is purchase a large number of random tickets, where there is still a chance of not having a winner, regardless of how many tickets you purchase. You could spend more than the jackpot amount buying tickets and, while the probability would diminish with the sample size, you still run the risk of not getting a winner.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Logistically impossible? Bullshit.
Hire three hundred managers, $30/hr, and 30,000 drones, $15/hr. This is no issue, there are a million temp agencies that will be glad to take your money.
Assign each of the managers a range of one million combinations. The manager will divide this range up among each of his 100 drones, so that each must buy 10,000 tickets.
Managers will receive a $1,000 bonus if their team purchases 99% or more of the correct tickets.
A seperate, trusted team will fund and distribute 30,000 prepaid debit cards. The balance on these cards will be continuously replenished as each manager verifies the drone has purchased tickets.
Alternatively you could probably arrange with the bank to reject any transaction that isn't the exact amount expected for a granular lottery ticket purchase, or at the correct retailer, and just provide each drone with the exact amount required up front ($20,000).
Total logistical overhead costs are probably $10 million or less.

Doesn't matter how wealthy you are if you don't save or invest anything.
The non retarded boomers got rich.
Stable but mediocre job + house bought in the 70s or 80s + a bit of cash randomly invested in DOW / NASDAQ. All millionaires with cushy retirement fund.
You would be lucky to have a mortgage on a house by your mid 20s with a mediocre job these days.
## Speaker_3: ##
Yeah boomers, in this goys educated opinion, were the generation with the most wealth and best position in the modern era, it not all of human history.
They existed at the perfect moment in time, and this will NEVER happen again. Let me rant
First, American boomers were the generation that came to age after WWII. The rest of the industrial world was in ruin, it was just them. America was god
Secondly during their reign we hit peak energy. Let me explain this. You measure energy gathering in calories. How many calories does it cost to harvest a calorie of energy? Most of human history it was 1.5-1 2-1 at best. Honestly less. The 1970s we saw the peak in this return st over 30-1. Since then we have been declining, rapidly. This suggests we will see the end of the modern world within a generation or two.
The boomers, American boomers really, were the Kong’s of the world. They saw both the peak of modern technology and were gifted the best starting position perhaps ever. Seriously, this will never occur again, I can’t stress that enough.
We can’t blame them for this, we can hate them though.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah, after WWII Europe was destroyed and East Asian and middle eastern countries had no infrastructure or industry. It was literally America that had stable industry and the necessary infrastructure to create pretty much the only dominate country in the world at the time. Not that Europe is rebuilt, east Asia and the Middle East have been built up.... its tough for America to be top dog like we were before. Now we don’t even have the industry we did back then. In the 90s old slick Willy Clinton the globalist helped send all of those blue collar industrial jobs over seas and to Mexico. Thanks NAFTA, I hope all the boomers enjoyed the cheap shit for like three decades and at least feel bad that the financial future for us non boomers has been getting bleak for awhile now

Lmao, you're delusional.
Let me get this straight:
You made $1 million last year between job/trading so you quit your job.
You trade with ALL of the money you have to your name.
You somehow don't remember to pay taxes on the money you made.
You realize you owe 200k in taxes but have lost 50% of your value by March so panic and go back to a full time job (really "worked out" there for three months...)
Over the next 6 months you get your value over $1 million again TWICE, but at no point think that it would be a good idea to pay your $200k in taxes.
And then your account goes totally bust by the beginning of October.
Now you're not only broke but stupidly in debt.
You said you average 200k from your job.
It will take you years to come even close to breaking even and you're so delusional about your own behavior you'll probably make the same mistakes over and over (TRADING WITH ALL OF MY MONEY, NOT STUPID GUYS!)

## Walls1337bot: ##
Depends upon when he got /exercised against though.
Mu spiked to 62 today, and strike was 61, so if everyone exercised at peak:
1-.18=.72 loss per share * (20*100) = 1440 + 19.95 fees
= 1459.95 for a 360 net credit
That’s a 1.1k loss or a nice 3 bagger.

Films called Margin Call, good watch
## Speaker_1: ##
Margin Call is a thinly-veiled story of what happened in Lehman Brothers when it went bankrupt in 2008.
I worked for a few years at Barclays, which is the bank that bought out Lehman Brothers. The group I worked with were all Lehman Brothers vets. To the person, they all said this was the movie that captured the feeling of those weeks the best.
## Speaker_2: ##
IIRC, the firm portrayed in the movie is Goldman Sachs. They were the first to realize what was going on, and so they were the first to try to sell as much of the shit as possible. That's why Goldman came out of the crash fairly clean while Lehman bros collapsed.
## Speaker_3: ##
People think lehman because John Tuld looks like Fuld, the lehman CEO. But yeah, goldman fits better with the actions taken by the firm.
Obligatory 'Goldman did nothing wrong'. Watching that movie, spacey's character doesn't have a leg to stand on. The crash was coming, bagholding would just have been communist-level stupid. Selling made the unsustainable bubble burst , and prevented an even bigger one. Thank mr. gold.
## Speaker_2: ##
The thing I like best about the movie is that it doesn't represent investment bankers as idiots. Amoral and a little short-sighted maybe, but the people working at these places are far, far smarter than whoever made The Big Short.
## Walls1337bot: ##
IIRC Margin Call’s director worked in IB before leaving to make the film, whereas TBS director Adam McKay is from the Will Ferrell camp, having directed Anchorman/Talladega Nights/Stepbrothers etc, and just amped up the “fuck Wall Street” comedy of the book.

I read he was selling naked calls and it went bad for him. Is there any reason to do this other than you need a lot of money fast and you are desperate?
The advert from an attorney firm that is going to sue said the customers lost all their money ($2,000,000 minimum) and the customers will also probably be on the hook for paying the amount due on the margin account.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> Is there any reason to do this other than you need a lot of money fast and you are desperate?
The guy who is covering your calls thinks he making a profit, so on average you should make more if you sell naked calls.
The mistake was making his naked call position too big.
## Speaker_1: ##
He said he sells 50-100% OTM. It doesn't take much to make your naked call position too big if something that far OTM suddenly hits.
## Speaker_2: ##
100% OTM? Are you talking like, 50-100% of the time he is selling OTM?
## Speaker_1: ##
I had Googled the website and found [this interview](https://www.borntosell.com/covered-call-blog/option-sellers-interview). No, it sounds to me like he sells really far OTM options because they usually expire worthless.
## Speaker_2: ##
True but what does 100% refer to? 100% OTM to me is like $0 lol. But I may be ignant.

## Speaker_1: ##
Exactly. RH opened the doors to essentially democratize trading. When you open the floodgates you get a lot of garbage. It also means that more people are going to learn which I don't think is a bad thing.
## Speaker_2: ##
It also means more dumb money, which the smart ones can take advantage of. In theory.
## Speaker_3: ##
Outside of a few idiotic whales, most of the ignorant people are not going to be putting enough money into the market for it to really affect anything.
## Speaker_4: ##
The interesting thing to me is that Robinhood essentially incentivizes active stock picking over passive investing in diversified funds like ETFs. This is because the take away funds' main selling point: diversification without paying for brokerage fees. Of course right now everybody here (should) know that passive investing is by consensus much "smarter", so from that perspective, yes, more Robinhood users means more dumb money in the market in a zero sum game.
So, idk, the bigger Robinhood gets, the more you should be doing bull call spreads on NFLX before a season of House of Cards comes out.
## Speaker_5: ##
Yea but the main issue is that pretty much everyone needs to passively invest about 30-50 thousand a year and even that that you have a 1/4 chance of actually retiring when you want and having access to that money. With cards stacked that high...it is why you need to chase those 40 percent gains.

I feel dumb for asking this, but how come Robinhood lists the breakeven price at $141.36 even though it says his total return is $15,444?
## Speaker_1: ##
That's the break-even price at expiration. What you need to be paying attention to is the current contract price and the average cost.
## Speaker_0: ##
Would the share price have to hit 141.36 at expiration for OP to make and gains? Or can he pull out now at what his total return is?
## Speaker_2: ##
He can pull out at any time essentially. Break even at expiration means he would be at 0, didn’t make money, didn’t lose money.

## Walls1337bot: ##
this isnt like 40 hours a week for 2 years.
i followed the market during that time. it only took me a week or 2 to watch and read enough to know how to trade them. had to focus tho. there was one paragraph on investopedia i remember having to read 50 times to begin to understand.
it takes a lifetime to be an expert at them obviously. some can spend their whole life and not learn them at all even when doing them.
id say it honestly takes a few months to understand how they move, the risks, the swings, the volatility etc. it took about a year to a year and a half from when i started to be comfy doing any trade and complex ones with multiple legs and stuff. buying and selling more than one option at once.
some of the stuff is easy tho. taught my pops to sell calls and he picked up on that fast, even tho he doesnt understand buying calls much or puts at all. he can still sell rights to shares he owns since he buys 1k shares a clip. and make a bit of extra % which he lives for.
paper trade it and read what it does. its so different than stock thats the only reason it takes so long to understand how they move. it takes a while to get used to seeing 10% swings in minutes and recoverys etc.
highly suggest it, even if you dont like or use it. it is def for the risk hungry types if buying, but selling is a very risk adverse move in some cases. they can be protection. either way its available to everyone and if you are going to be trading you should know what is available and how it works. then decide to use it or not.
gl. just ask questions around here. most people are dicks but if you honest im sure youll get some responses. i would ask people in daily threads to explain their trades all the time.

Obviously this is going to be a popular idea on this sub but to put things into perspective, this is basically a $100 billion tax cut for people who are already extremely wealthy, at a time when the national debt is ballooning dangerously, at a time when defense spending has been needlessly increased by $74 billion, and when Trump just cancelled federal workers inflation adjustments to their salaries because he claims the budget can't afford the extra $25 billion.
Capital gains tax laws are already very generous to investors who admittedly are taking on risk, but who often make enough passive income in gains/dividends to easily beat inflation and not have to work for a living. The laws should stay as they are.
## Speaker_1: ##
Doesn't this incentivize investing in the US though?
I get the perspective on wages. That's sucks but it's also nothing new. Wages have been stagnant for years while inflation goes up 3%. That's been the case since 2000 at least.
In the meantime though, you can get people that have even a little bit to pool their money into the US economy via the stock market which would grow business. What the result is of growing business is, idk. Depends on the companies I suppose.
## Speaker_2: ##
Tell me how of this magical grow business by pouring money into the equities market mechanism.
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm not saying its guaranteed. Depends on the company and what they do with the funds.
I'm not necessarily a trump supporter or hater, just as a disclosure. However I think he's looking at how he can keep rich people's money in the stock market in the US specifically. This incentivizes US investing. The result of that depends on those companies receiving the money. But it is a good thing to have more money concentrated in the US, imho.

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: ##
So ignoring what you know now, can you articulate what it was you *thought* was going on when you bought this? Just really curious what the nature of the misunderstanding was.
## Speaker_1: ##
I was probably drunk.

After calling for them for months? Now he says he wants none. Is this the art of the deal? Just confuse everyone with complete irrationality. Sure it’ll go well.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You do realize that other countries have had tariffs against the US for years. We were simply to trying to balance it out. But by saying to get rid of all tariffs this benefits the US while making Trump look good.
## Speaker_1: ##
I get what you’re saying but it seems less like deal making and more like irrationality the way it’s being presented and worked toward. But maybe that’s just where we are.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Because the EU would never get rid of their tariffs against the USA, why would they ? It benefits them. Being nice and rational doesn’t give you results.

The same way I’m investing now.
$10 or $1million, it’s the same to me.
## Speaker_1: ##
you can't buy $MU calls with $10
## Speaker_2: ##
Why not
## Speaker_3: ##
They cost more than $10
## Walls1337bot: ##
Nope 85 calls exp 6/15...even I can afford those

“20% in a month”
>look at his post history
>posted “Just watched the big short”
someone mod his ass
## Speaker_1: ##
Tbf that's how I got started and I'm up more than 40% in the last <6months
Gotta watch wolf of wall street first though, to get pumped, then you watch the big short for a proper education. after that you're equipped with the tools to dive into the stock market head first with no scuba equipment
## Speaker_2: ##
Six months ago you could have thrown a turd at a wall with the word NASDAQ written on it with a sharpie, and it would be worth 40% more now.
## Speaker_1: ##
Do I look like a fucking Stanford grad? The big short was my only finance education, it's a miracle I'm not homeless now
And fyi I do frequently throw turds at walls and none of them are up 50%
## Speaker_3: ##
you have to collect them high and throw them from low
## Walls1337bot: ##
Throw them from low and collect them from high. But, If you throw them into a fan, you’ll diversify
## Speaker_3: ##
yeah but thats not how you yolo properly

if you watch the full video you will see they did not make it fast, in fact they were eating him from his anus on while he was still alive.

That's why if I ever get taken down by a wild animal, I hope it's a lion. At least they will just snap my neck and get it over with.
I don't want to watch myself get eaten alive.

Pffft. 2008 wasn't shit. Let's talk about the tech bubble. Mother fuckers were really using the ropes, not just joking.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah, I think that because 2008 was a housing collapse, people talk about it more because it affected more people, but in terms of finance, the tech bubble was insane.
## Speaker_0: ##
Agreed. And I think we as a nation were much closer to total collapse in '08
## Speaker_1: ##
I agree that we were closer, but I've been doing a lot of research on recessions/depressions and I think 2008 was a speedbump compared to 1929. It is really interesting to see the similarities in how society reacted post 2008 and post 1929 though. Most of my focus has been on the defense industry/political trends though.

The gold standard was back then. Now the government can print free money and Keynes it up.

## Walls1337bot: ##
I’ll tell you what I do. Go to finviz screener. Use the selectors “trading above 200 sma”, “buy or higher” on analyst rating, “relative volume .5” or higher(sometimes I like to use .75 here), and if you want select “cross below 50 sma”. Essentially all this does is give you a list of stocks that are trending upwards, have the volume fuel necessary to keep going upwards, with good analyst ratings that might have dipped for a bit. I buy ATM calls like three weeks out expiry. Make sure to try and choose well known companies with lots of volume so your liquidity is high. Obviously you won’t always land good large cap companies, but finding a play every two weeks is better than constantly losing money. Remember I’m an autist so take my advice with a grain of salt, but this is probably better than doing absolutely nothing and praying for fds. For one call contract you’ll probably need to start with around 100-150 dollars. Using this method you can easily profit $30 within a week or more. I wouldn’t hold to expiry, sell for a profit and use those gains to do the same method again and steam roll the process. Remember if you wanna win big you gotta bet big, but before you can bet big you just have to win. Good luck.
edit: since this is getting some traction I would like to add something. Make sure you pay attention to your options value in terms of percentage gain and identify exit points based on that. Using this method I hit +50% on my intel calls in two days before MS hit piece and now I’m down bigly. If I would have been more cognizant(less greedy) I would have exited at +50%. The second half to this is that because I bought three weeks out I still have two weeks to try and recoup the losses.
## Speaker_0: ##
So what do you suggest to buy
## Walls1337bot: ##
The only thing I’m really seeing right now is ATVI 70.5 calls. Might even be able to do FDs on this one but the two week expiry looks pretty good to me.
## Speaker_0: ##
Excuse my ignorance, but wouldn't be a put since the stock is at 7.81 right now
## Walls1337bot: ##
ATVI is activision blizzard. Not really sure what you’re looking at. ATVI currently has a price of 70.71. You would still want to buy the call at 70.5 because that puts you at the money. Delta on atm options is highest and usually around .5. So if the stock is trending upward and you just bought the dip, a one dollar upward price move in the stock will net you $50 profit from your option. That’s essentially the whole point of this plan.
