When Analfarmer is in class on a phone with robinhood and makes 3/4 of a million dollars lol
## Speaker_1: ##
he just googled, went with his gut and tapped the screen. OP's dad here trying to maximize every single pixel possible for his research. He aint one of us.
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm new here. Is this a story I've missed?
## Speaker_3: ##
u/analfarmer2 was like a teenager that grew his account to $750k and then lost it all in a matter of like 2 weeks
## Speaker_4: ##
Didn't he start with $100k tho?
## Speaker_3: ##
if you go all the way back you’ll see he started with $5k about a year ago, though his 2 week roller coaster that we all love him for didn’t start until he was in 6 figures sure.
## Speaker_1: ##
We dont love him no more. He sold before earnings and didn't inform us. I swear, that Wednesday, everyone was lowkey hyped including the mods. We thought he lost it all.
## Speaker_3: ##
this would actually be news to me i never heard that. how did you find that out? i was still under the impression he was dead lol

No the loan has no collateral and yes I'm on the spectrum. Been doing straight stocks for over a year now and just started with options when all us Robinhood fags got access two months ago. Mostly swing trades but long AMD, MU, and SPY and short TSLA, SBUX, and GE.
Long AMEX and Robinhood Gold for letting me do this.
## Speaker_1: ##
You should cash out enough to pay off the loan and trade with the remaining amount.
## Speaker_2: ##

The two countries most likely to benefit from global warming are Canada and Russia given that most of their countries are currently too cold to be inhabited. But if you're convinced, start buying large swathes of currently cheap, useless arctic land in both countries. If global warming does occur then the land will become habitable and very valuable.
In particular you could look to communities that will benefit from the Northwest Passage opening up. As ice flows continue to melt this passage will open year-round and compete with other major trade routes like the Panama and Suez Canals.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Lol at buying property in Russia. If it ever becomes valuable, the government will just take it from you.
## Speaker_0: ##
There are no doubt challenges in every jurisdiction. In Russia you might need to spend time/resources on maintaining good relationships with those in power. In Canada, you'd face capital gains taxes, etc.
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's not even remotely comparable.
You can estimate and plan for legal taxes.
There is no way to know ahead of time how much ass kissing would be required to avoid an extralegal taking, or even if any amount would ultimately suffice.
Investing in Russia is a fool's game. Just ask Bill Browder. Read up on that, if the name doesn't ring a bell.
## Speaker_1: ##
In the situation where global warming has started wiping out massive tracts of land (and likely massive amounts of people), do you really think any government is going to be like "well, we can move people to that area bro owns, but for property rights", Canada, the US, France, any government is going to just take that shit.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Maybe, but that's still hypothetical, whereas Russia has a proven track record of confiscating private property when it feels like it, and imprisoning or murdering anyone who complains.
## Speaker_1: ##
Eminent domain? U.S. having a higher rate of incarceration than Russia?
I get where you're coming from and all, but it's not like that shit doesn't happen here too.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Eminent domain sucks, but at least the gov't is required to pay you "market value" for the seized property.
They might even play games with the actual determination of the market value, but that's still not comparable to being imprisoned and possibly tortured to death for questioning their numbers.

Where did you get your money in the first place?

Same as most other people. Working for it.
## Speaker_2: ##
i don't think i will have made a million in total before taxes before I'm 45-50 years old... forget about being able to like, actually retain any of that as savings. on the up-side, i should hopefully at least be debt-free by the time I'm 30-35... unless I hope to one day "own" a house.
## Speaker_0: ##
Who knows. I’m 31. Last year I made 850k before taxes. 400 from trading and 450 ish from consulting work but it burned me out.
## Speaker_2: ##
yeah... see, i made the mistake of going to engineering school... and then *actually going into engineering work*.
should have finished engineering school and just gone into finance. problem is that engineering school burned me out by the time i was like, 21, and now i never want to work hard or put in insane hours on anything ever again...
what sort of consulting do you do?
## Speaker_3: ##
lol I made the mistake of going into science. wtf was I thinking.
## Speaker_2: ##
yeah but you can't feel like you got cheated at least... because nobody ever said you'd have financial stability and success in that field. EVERYBODY for like, all of time, has said that engineering is about the most sensible and excellent track to go if you're really bright and capable and wanted to have a good career and stable/safe family.
fucking *wheeeeze*. I'm gonna be broke for a while... my classmate took a position straight out of school paying $85k... in LA... so he has like fucking 5 roommates just to scrape by. that feel when making $85k as an engineer when you're like 23 years old, and you have to have 5 fucking roommates in order to be able to afford to live within 3 hours of where you work. we're fucked.
## Speaker_4: ##
What type of engineering major did you complete? I was in the midst of completing my M.E. at Kettering University before back issues caused me to drop out. Going back does not seem all too favorable anymore after seeing posts like this. If you were me would you complete the M.E. and just start making a salary or is there a better route you are aware of to making a good salary in a steady field? Sorry if this is too personal
## Walls1337bot: ##
Don’t listen to this guy, if you already took on the debt and finished some of the coursework why would you not finish. An engineering degree has a great ROI, I had 25k in debt when I graduated 3 years ago and I’ve already payed it back in full and built up a healthy savings. This obviously isn’t the sub for being frugal but it’s pretty damn easy if you just put your head down and grind it out

what's your annual income? How did you have 53k to put into it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
As of 2015 my household income is $225k. My business varies so my income is between 80 and 150k depending on how good we do each year. We did not do that well last year.
I save money like a mofo, I still drive my wife's 10 year old coupe from high school. When I say 53k was ~60% of my portfolio, i mean it is my money that I can do what I please with. My wife wouldn't let me touch our 401k or IRA even after showing her my DD. Also it helps to be liquid for moments like this. I learned early in life that if you have all of your money tied up somewhere/not saved you can't jump onto rocketships like this or bigger space station launches like 2006 or 2009. UWTI in January also played a big part of my $53k

MarketWatch is really anti-trump (trump derangement syndrome seems to be a common ailment for their current writing staff). Don't know if the site has always been that way but it is unusually Marxist/subversive for a site that's supposed to support open market ideology.

Honestly you should be asking /r/personalfinance for legit advice, not us.
Seven figures is fuck you money. Don't mess with that kind of capital. Put a majority of it in passive index funds, and depending on how old you are, part in bonds.
Go ahead and YOLO like 5% if you want. Don't mess with the rest, your grandmother would be mad at you.
## Speaker_1: ##
>ut a majority of it in passive index funds, and depending on how old you are, part in bonds.
Index funds grow much slower than tesla in the last 10 years. If I lose money thats fine. But overall the market goes up, not down. And im obviously going to avoid bonds because the yileds are too low.
## Speaker_2: ##
Uhhh. Markets go down too bro. You have enough that you should just collect intrest premium and dividends.
## Speaker_1: ##
Dividends are tax inefficient. The only thing that matters is total return. And I will get more total return with Tesla or Canopy.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Do you have your mind already made up? I really recommend putting a huge amount of this inheritance in index funds. The stock market is reaching all-time highs, but the one thing everyone has reached consensus on is when there is a recession, it will be very bad. Are you comfortable with TSLA, a company that doesn't have enough product, to maintain funding through a recession?
You say on average the stock market goes up, which is completely correct. Why not bet on that then? Look into ETFs that track the market, or even just the tech sector if you like a little risk. But investing a majority of your inheritance into single companies is dangerous and not smart money management in my opinion.
## Speaker_1: ##
>But investing a majority of your inheritance into single companies is dangerous and not smart money management in my opinion.
When Warren Buffett ran his investment partnership, he was only in five or six stocks at a time. Seems to have worked out for him.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Warren Buffett is also the greatest investor this world has ever seen. Do you think your picks are of his caliber? If so, you shouldn't be asking this question on this sub.
Also, speaking of Buffett,
> In a letter to his Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A) (BRK.B) shareholders in 2013, Buffett said his advice for the average investor "could not be more simple." He suggested putting 10% of cash in short-term government bonds and 90% in a "very low-cost" S&P 500 Index fund. In that letter, Buffett suggested Vanguard's variety of funds.
> Buffett has long sung the praises of index funds. He said pension funds, institutional investors and individual investors find better long-term results with an index investing policy than they would if they employed "high-fee managers."
[Source](https://www.thestreet.com/story/14309494/1/how-to-invest-like-billionaire-warren-buffett.html)

For one thing, options do not trade outside normal hours. What you just saw today was that your calls jumped up overnight. Imagine if you bought puts- there was never a moment in time when it was possible to get out of the trade.
The underlying stock does trade outside normal hours, and announcements are made after hours, which means that option traders can only watch helplessly until the option market opens again
## Speaker_0: ##
Sounds pretty much like gambling. Win it or lose it all. Scary shit.
## Walls1337bot: ##

The moment congress thinks their rich benefactors are losing confidence they'll cut taxes, I wouldn't worry

The issue with this logic is nothing is getting done in DC because of political bullshit.

## Speaker_1: ##
Until the judge grants bail again or his January sentencing.
## Speaker_1: ##
Someone beat me to it. Anyways, pretty sure the judge will grant bail again with the lawyer offering house arrest or another 'bargaining' chip to prosecution. It doesn't take much to please junior varsity prosecutors into asking the judge to grant bail again.
## Speaker_2: ##
you think that they say time served after sentencing and it will be done? onto parole?
## Speaker_1: ##
It depends on if he actually stays in to sentencing, then in most cases I would say yes. With a hefty probationary period / other wrist-slaps. I don't believe he will be in until sentencing, his lawyers are dealing with the prosecutors right now to get him back out. All it takes is a deal on something and they run back to the judge and ask that it be reinstated.
## Speaker_1: ##
His lawyers do not want him in until sentencing for one fact alone, he is in JAIL, not club fed, not prison, but good ol' county jail until sentencing.

Whats the fucking point of that statue anyway? Explain like I'm Retarded or ELIR:
## Speaker_1: ##
It's about women in wall street standing up to the men of wall street. We like to think everythings all equal nd shizznit but wall street is definitely still the old white man's playground.
## Walls1337bot: ##
It makes no sense, the bull represents financial success and prosperity, the statue is literally a woman standing in the way of progress
## Speaker_1: ##
Define progress? The bull is moving forward but it's destructive and brute at the same time. If the bull can't be selective in what it runs down in the name of progress it won't last very long. The girl doesn't have to just represent womans. It could represent any moderating influence or partnership that could help the bull in the long run.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Why are you trying to play word games? If you took five minutes to simply read about the artist's intent and message behind the statue, you would see that he specifically comments on the immense energy and unpredictability of the piece.
But beyond that, the firm behind the little girl says that their message is female power, female leadership, and gender diversity in the workplace. So in essence, they are showing that female power is the perfect solution to the rushing momentum and energy of unbridled optimism and prosperity. Utter morons, if I were a woman I'd actually be pretty pissed off these assholes were "representing" me, especially considering their latest lawsuit.

It's not red or blue, it's tendies
## Speaker_0: ##
Isn't that kind of the problem though? Shouldn't we work together so everyone has enough tendies?
## Walls1337bot: ##
And how do you propose we do that? Are you asking for my opinion on the tax bill, or on economic policy in general?
## Speaker_0: ##
Just kind of posing a moral question. You seem to think that maybe it would be better to help everyone but see it as unrealistic so you shoot for personal tendies instead of thinking of how we could help each other. I'm not educated enough to have a real answer, but I do think that income inequality could be helped if the people living incredibly lavishly would be willing to part with a little of it and then maybe normal guys on this sub wouldn't feel so pressured into making quick, speculative money at the expense of others.
## Walls1337bot: ##
How is this at the expense of others?
Trading in the stock market (short term) is something which from a financial standpoint improves liquidity and market opportunity. A more liquid stock market is better for everyone. Investing in the stock market (long run) improves efficiency of markets by providing arbitrage, thus making sure firms are correctly valued and capital in the economy is allocated well.

Not the guy you’re asking, but I also grew up in the area. My dad was a floor trader. A lot of the best traders in Chicago lived on the North Shore (wilmette, Kenilworth, winnetka, Glencoe, highland park) or downtown in Lincoln Park/Gold Coast.
Other common occupations of people who lived there: high ranking executives, ibankers, private equity, then the lawyers/doctors of course. But Chicago is really a finance and more specifically a trading city, so you get a lot of those types.

The market is like on coke, everything is GETTING BETTER AND HIGHER.
When will the comedown even begin?
## Speaker_1: ##
If a company posts an earnings loss and weak guidance, yet the stock goes up, it's bear time.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The problem is that monetary policy since 2010 has been so loose that there's too much money being thrown into a low-interest rate environment. Short-term highly rated debt pays next to nothing. This forces money into higher paying investments such as stocks. This was the goal of the policy as it spurs business investment which is good for the economy. However, since interest rates still remain low. There's no reason not to throw excess capital into the markets. Look at stock buybacks again hovering around record levels. Sure, equities are expensive and it seems irrational that a stock would pop after an earnings miss, but macro indicators and the fact that investment inflows>outflows creates a higher demand and pushes prices higher. There's literally no where else to put your money that gives a worthy return. Fixed income is more or less a joke, especially considering the tax cuts further reducing the benefits of municipal debt.
## Speaker_2: ##
So, what is the result of this type of policy?
## Walls1337bot: ##

Just dont pay it. 99 percent of that bill is pure cost shifting from the people who receive services but cant pay, onto the people with insurance and the people who can pay.
Americans pay for healthcare three times over. Once from taxes withheld from your salary. A second time through the 800 dollar a month insurance premiums, and finally a third time over when you pay the beefy deductable after services are rendered.
On the plus side, The american health care system is so strong at the fringes of tough stuff like lung replacements, organ transplants and other futuristic scifi stuff that it is clear America will be the first country to manufacture biotech and nanotech based immortality... If you have an overflowing purse.

Not saying our system is good, but we subsidize the world also.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I think Roche, Merck, Novartis, and a boat load of others might disagree with you on that one. Western medicine is a globally concerted effort. Sure, a lot of discoveries come from the US but I don't remember a US company not collecting royalties on any of its breakthroughs.

Oh definitely. As a German I find our military absolutely laughable for a nation of our scale. But I don't see how this would affect your healthcare system.
We also subsidize half of the European continent, but our healthcare system works.

You can say YOU never made it work, but to piss on the history of TA and say its akin to Tarot cards when MANY very RICH traders use TA exclusively is assinine.
## Speaker_3: ##
Oh one month of success of the simplest TA possible. I think you can quit your day job now.
## Speaker_1: ##
Hi, its called data testing and theory.
There are thousands of investors and real successful people who trade TA.
Its called dialing it down with a small but still significant amount of data to dial a few things in, and then put it through a long data dive of a year or two.
Don't be a dick.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Here's some data: no kind of TA has ever been shown to beat market returns over multi-year periods.
Which is obvious really, because if it worked then big companies would do it and the advantage would disappear. Unless you're RenTech and you have 50 of the brightest mathematical minds in finance on your side, you're just guessing, and any wins are essentially pure luck.

Thank you Trump for not going full retard on this. ���� ��
## Speaker_1: ##
It’s almost as if this was part of his plan. To start at the extreme and then work inward toward a reasonable compromise.
I mean for fucksake look at what he did with daca. He started out with they all have to go back and ended with border security and ended with amnesty and citizenship for a million plus.
Almost like he does this on purpose.
## Speaker_2: ##
I honestly its more he doesn't know what he's doing and talking with advisors for a couple days after he says something insane they manage to talk a little bit of sense into him.
## Speaker_1: ##
This is like the 1000th time he’s done this.
“Trump is going to strike North Korea.”
“Ok, well settlenfor your nukes.”
“Trump is going to send back 12 million Mexicans.”
“Trump to let a million plus to stay.”
“Trump says he’ll yank funding on the f35.”
“Trump compromises for a cheaper Air Force one.”
You have to understand something here. One does not get rich by being foolish and impulsive, and ignoring advisors.
You can say what you will, but the fact you admitted trump has the ability to change his mind on previous decisions given new information is a step above most these days.
## Speaker_3: ##
Acting like Trump didn’t get rich from family money??
## Speaker_4: ##
Yeah he took $1M and turned it into $3B. What is that, something like 299,900% ROI?
You know if that's so easy then why not take out a loan of $250k and turn it into $750M? I mean if someone as dumb as drumpfgh can do it then what's to stop a superior intellectual like yourself? Surely you're smarter than this idiot, right?

You need professional tax advice to confirm you're doing this right. This is an audit red flag. You should also talk to a professional tax advisor about declaring yourself a professional trader if you're trading in this volume. You will need to do that before April 18th, they can discuss the pros and cons of doing so
## Speaker_1: ##
Besides big numbers and lots of transactions it's not that complicated. The gain looks right to me. I had mostly stopped trading actively after I took some big losses in November and didn't have anything unusual carry into the new year. I'm certainly not a professional trader.
## Speaker_0: ##
Doesn't matter. Large numbers are red flags. If you've never done it before you should spend the money to get professional oversight. And you don't have to be a professional trader to declare yourself a trader for tax purposes.
## Speaker_2: ##
Also, in my experience, tax-time accountants are pretty cheap. I actually don't know how they make a living charging only a few hundred bucks for a return. Sure they get tons of people around that time, but what do they do the rest of the year?
## Speaker_3: ##
charge huge sums from people like OP after the IRS comes and federally fucks them in the ass
## Walls1337bot: ##
Puh-lease. The IRS does not do this for fucks sake. The IRS couldn't give a shit if you fuck up returns that if correct would have netted the IRS $0. You will get a notice to re-submit your return with notes on what your error is, not an audit. They do audits to make money, they do everything to make money. No money in it, too much effort, and they let it slide.
If this guy sends the IRS all of his supplementary documentation they'll do the adjustments for him if he fucked up. States also do the same thing if you make common mistakes on returns.

Reading these comments, it looks like a lot of people don't know how to trade options here. I guess they're just here for the reads.
## Speaker_0: ##
I've just started investing in mutual funds and I'm looking to try something riskier. This sub is a hidden gem of Reddit. Lots of quality memes and advice.
## Walls1337bot: ##
8/31 $90 MU Calls seems to be the riskiest we got right now chief.
I honestly never understood why everyone cries and says options are risky (not you, just in general). If you're buying them and not selling them, the most you could ever lose is the premium you paid for them, whether call or put. You can assess your own level of risk tolerance before even putting your money down and you know that's the absolute most you can lose after your order goes through. If people are losing their asses it's because they're buying too much and blowing up their accounts (but watching that happen is part of the fun here). Stocks you have to pay retail price per share for and there's no leverage. You don't have delta and gamma making you tasty gains on the way up or down. Buying stock is boring to I would say, most of us here. Options and day trading futures tend to be the most exciting.
## Speaker_0: ##
Thanks for the explanation. Everyday I move closer to our lord and savior Options trading. it's because of good peeps like you, that I've understood options a little better. Tried reading a lot of articles but it always ended up confusing me even more. Thank you ��

That is too 2007. These days you are an 'entrepreneur' but in reality you are just unemployed with a vague idea for an app that has been tried a million times before.
## Speaker_1: ##
"WYD for a living?" "I have an app". "oh cool! what does it do?" "well i haven't built it yet because idk how to code, but just picture Uber combined with Tinder. there's gonna be a lot of AI and machine learning involved".
## Speaker_2: ##
the only reason i haven't created it yet is because these greedy programmers want more than a 5% stake in my company. considering my idea is worth at least $100,000,000 these guys are passing up a $5,000,000 offer... idiots
## Speaker_3: ##
Eh. It's pretty reasonable for a startup to offer a stake in their company esp if they also pay a low salary/wage. Double true if you can get it in the contract to be renewed with higher salary/wages if seed funding.
VCs spend hundreds of thousands to millions on start ups that don't work. Absolutely no reason for programmers to be unable to think like a VC. Just gotta decide what the immediate/certain pay out is, how good the idea is, and how good the team is (e.g. Is the inventor competent? Are you?) and take a bet. If you don't want to then just don't do it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
5% is shit. If you're only offering equity for a programmer, then you need to offer than 50% because what you actually need is a tech co-founder.
## Speaker_3: ##
See here's the thing: If it's a good idea then it's worth a lot more than the 60-150k a programmer is worth for a full years worth of dedicated work. And also - a lot of other people are going to want equity. 50/50 maybe works if you're co-founding with two people and are willing to equally split for giving equity away to VCs etc. Otherwise no one would do that because they'd end up with virtually no shares themselves. Often there are multiple co-founders, asking for 50% disregarding those factors is purely greedy and likely ignores how much 50% is to actually own in any company if you see the potential for it be decent.
What's fair is what you and them agree to. If you demand 50% regardless of if it's a shit idea or a great idea that's your call. But that doesn't mean 50% is always fair. I mean, depending on how good of an idea it is you're trying to trade programming (common-ish skill) for the idea (ranges from absolute horseshit to extremely rare).
And like I mentioned it's generally common to offer a small sum of money as well. I also didn't suggest 5% but 5% might actually be. Fair offer. It depends on way to many circumstances that we don't have info on to call. 50% might also be fair. Hell, maybe 99% is fair in some cases. But generalizations are easier
## Walls1337bot: ##
No one cares about ideas. Thousands of people have the same "revolutionary" idea. What matters is execution. If you have an idea for an app, but can't program, then that is a useless idea worth $0.
If you have already have multiple co-founders, then you need to bring the tech co-founder in on equal percentages. Your entire business literally depends on this person, and you won't think of them as an equal partner?
If you have a tech startup with 4 non-technical co-founders, don't want to bring on a technical co-founder, AND can't come up with the little bit of money to pay a freelance programmer, then you're going to fail anyways.
## Speaker_3: ##
So let's get this straight
60k a year = 0% required stock
0k = 50%
So what's say, 40k a year get you? 20k? What about legal fees, business fees, etc?
There's a lot to consider but #yolo if you don't want to consider it as anything but all or nothing idc. And yes, needing others to do work is how all of society functions and is true of any job. The thing is there's a lot of programmers m8. Thousands of ideas, mostly shit, and tens of thousands of hundreds of thousands of programmers. . It's almost like free enterprise (making a tailored deal that suites both parties in the circumstance) is better than black and white statements!
## Walls1337bot: ##
If your budget is 40k or 20k, then you get a freelancer who works part time on your project. There's nothing wrong with that. The problem is expecting a programmer to work with you full time but not treating and compensating them as a true co-founder or proper employee (and 60k is already way below market).
I'm guessing you haven't been in the startup scene at all. There is a dearth of tech co-founders. Go to any startup event, and you will see hundreds of "business/idea" guys on the hunt for anyone who can program a lick of code.

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.

>Loyalty to a multi-billion dollar company w/ a PE over 200.
There's your first mistake. Companies with PEs in the mid-200s are about pumping & dumping on suckers, not holding for 50 years until retirement.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm not disagreeing with you but AMZN...
## Speaker_0: ##
Valid point. I should clarify that when I say a company with a PE over 200 I mean one that can't lower it if they wanted to. AMZN could decrease their PE any time they want since they dump so much back into expansion. NFLX has a high PE for no reason other than it's "trendy with the kids" and has "insane growth potential" despite Disney, Amazon, Apple, Google, etc. getting into the streaming game.

No roast at all from me, I made a sweeping statement in the OP and you called me out on it.
For the record I do think Amazon is a bit overvalued too but not nearly as much as crap like NFLX which should be like $150.
The most exciting part of Amazon's business to me is AWS and even that is at risk for losing market share. Redshift is the OG MPP database but it's already becoming obsolete to Snowflake/BigQuery and bleeding edge shit like Druid. Also, Snowflake just announced a partnership with MSFT to run on Azure meaning a substantial portion of AWS business could be moving from Amazon to MSFT.

After about an hour of hiking up this big fucking hill we sat down to take a break. I pulled out my "snacks" which was packets of Sweet N Low because that's all I could find in my house. He brought a fucking bottle of Listerine to drink. So we're on top of this huge hill, an hour walk from home, with nothing to eat or drink except Sweet N Low and Listerine.
We were both pretty fucking retarded. Still are. But still not as dumb as OP.
## Speaker_2: ##
Why would you even grab either of those items. If I’m looking through my house for a snack to bring with me somewhere, even if I happen to come across sweet n low, I’m not grabbing it. Would you also grab salt? How about paprika?
I can’t even comment on listerine. How are you even smart enough to operate a smart phone? What the fuck
## Speaker_1: ##
We were both poor and this was a rural area. It was in the 80s. I don't really have an excuse other than that. My family didn't have "snacks" so all I could find were fake sugar packets which seemed like a great idea. I remember thinking either fake sugar packets or the bottle of ketchup in the fridge. But I didn't want the ketchup to go bad, so I brought the saccharine or whatever the fuck Sweet N Low is.
Edit: Also, did I mention I was only about 8yo then? This was bumfuck, Appalachia.
## Speaker_2: ##
I can tell you possess great wisdom. There has to be a deeper meaning to this story. SPY puts or calls?

Wow..... Impressive
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm always bewildered by posts like this. I always figure if I get stupid lucky like this I would start playing with only 10k at a time.
Trends come and go, no reason to go all in every time once you reach that level. You'd be more profitable if you invest chunks of that pie over time so you can keep up with the changing market.
## Speaker_2: ##
Let's be fair - most people are terrible at predicting how they'll behave in scenarios far outside their normal reference point. Anchoring is real *=\*
## Walls1337bot: ##
Got 30k after taxes as a signing bonus for moving to the Valley. Almost everyone in my work group plays with options. I've never taken a withdrawal as I don't need the money but it was fun as hell while it lasted
## Speaker_3: ##
Man if my work circle played with options too I'd be more fucked than I already am.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Not gonna lie, it has been extremely fun. I usually show up to work at 10-11 AM. Immediately I am met with "guess who just made 20k on ______!?" or "fuck dude I got destroyed this morning". We're all degenerates.

west coast has the toughest time with this. i wake up at 3:30 every morning so i can find the power to trade during the shit market hours.
## Speaker_1: ##
Huh? Markets open 6:30 west coast. We talkin futures?
## Speaker_0: ##
gotta be fully awake and aware. Coffee starts dripping at 3:15. By the time the market’s open, I’ve completed a pot of coffee, a bagel or two, and got jacked at the gym. Stay woke, my man.
## Speaker_2: ##
>a bagel or two
Those are rookie numbers, you gotta pump those numbers up
## Walls1337bot: ##
It depends on the bagel. Peanut butter for bigger lifting gains, cream cheese for the modest market and lift gains, and peanut butter and jelly bagel sandwich for the FDs

How do i short Martins life?
## Speaker_1: ##
Life insurance. We've been over this.
## Speaker_2: ##
Dumb question, can you take out life insurance policies on just anyone? That'd be so fun!
## Speaker_3: ##
Just googled it and quick answer is, you need "insurable interest" so if you can prove that his life is important to you I guess you can?
## Speaker_4: ##
If I say "the Gains" from him are important to me can I take out life insurance on him?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'll give you insurance on him. 5 million policy. Just send me 500k every month.

I don't understand why the market even cares about Trump shenanigans anymore. he's never gonna do anything
## Speaker_1: ##
Using NK to distract the public from the intensifying Russia investigation. It's working brilliantly, people are actually buying this NK bs. Sell puts buy LEAPs thank me later
## Speaker_2: ##
Is shit gonna burn hard when the Russian investigators finally show their cards?
## Speaker_1: ##
Trump's base elected him on reducing taxes, not because they thought he was a squeaky clean candidate. Russia has no effect
## Speaker_2: ##
But when he gets kicked to the curb, will Russia have an effect?
## Walls1337bot: ##
"When"

I highly doubt that you're smart enough
## Walls1337bot: ##
I don't know why people think actuaries are smart
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm actually curious, what to actuaries do? Calculate risk for hedge fund or insurance companies?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Mostly they take some pos excel file that someone created 15 years ago but nobody knows how it works, and they put new data obtained through a poorly written and incorrect SQL query in it and report a number that comes out.

Of those, the gold chain is the smartest investment. You can carry your net worth with you!
## Speaker_1: ##
For real. I've profited buying gold chains on ebay by just comparing the weight, what carrot and price of gold vs. price of auction. Then later on selling the chain for more after I wore it for a while.
## Speaker_2: ##
I would worry it would be fake from eBay?
## Speaker_1: ##
Then return it if you think it's fake? eBay has lots of protections for buyers, sellers get fucked.
## Speaker_3: ##
I’ve been fucked by eBay so many times. I sold an original 1955 baseball card set for $3,250. A month later the buyer opened an eBay case to return it saying they weren’t in good condition, and eBay accepted. I got back a binder full of fake cards. eBay did nothing.
## Walls1337bot: ##
That is rough man. I have stopped selling on eBay, not worth it for those kind of people. And the arbitrators of those things are all in India.
Local CL only, if it does not sell there then the trash is better than going through that hassle. Surprised on eBay's earnings

I know nothing of German politics but I know a bit about German history and it's not a good sign when the white nationalist party is starting to win elections again.
## Speaker_1: ##
White nationalist? Wtf are you talking about? Do you mean German nationalist? What’s wrong with being a nationalist?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Thr only thing Nationalism does is teache you to hate people you've never met and take credit for things you didn't do.
## Speaker_2: ##
Oh great, another 15 year old completely ignorant of history.
Before nationalism we had essentially nothing. Just control by the church, and people lived as feudal slaves. Through nationalism absolutely everything good that humanity has created was allowed to flurish. This includes science, capitalism, the industrial revolution. Nationalism means freedom and the ability for a people to choose their own destiny. Millions of people died fighting for their freedom over the last 400 years in order to give you the great life you have now so it's about time little shits like you started having some respect.
## Walls1337bot: ##
What the hell did you just say? That meant nothing at all. This is the problem with Nationalism. It's just a lot of words that sound like they mean something and get people excited but have not context.
Millions of people died killing other people because they had a different flag. Nationalism just teaches you to think you are better because you were born in a different geographic region.

## Speaker_2: ##
I refuse to believe we live in a country where:
Saying your investments return 20-30%, then returning 500% in ~3 years == fraud;
Lying about having native american heritage in order to secure a position at Harvard at the expense of more qualified applicants == not fraud.
Otherwise there is no rule of law here, just rule of popularity.
## Speaker_1: ##
Talking shit in court is a great way to get the judge to go against you and your interests. However small of a hole he was in, he's digging down with a bulldozer.
## Speaker_2: ##
Sounds like a problem with the court system. The judges that don't see past this bullshit are just treasonous redcoats. The citizens that find him guilty were just indoctrinated by the redcoat government school system.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yes, it's clearly the British who are at fault here.

TSLA is the poster child of irrational markets. They haven't had a profitable quarter since they've been listed. Continue to miss major targets. Work their employees to death until they realize they can quit and have a better life somewhere else in the valley (brain drain). Oh yeah - the CEO and deity to many, Elon Musk, has a million other projects on the go and continues to serve as CEO for three different companies and used TSLA to bailout his failing enterprise, SolarCity (talk about conflict of interest). His cult following is so string that nothing short of a *Weinstein jerking off into a ficus tree scandal* can bring him down.
## Speaker_1: ##
I agree with you, but I think the innovative technology around the batteries and AI will be huge. As people move further from fossil fuels these things will put them ahead. Although the valuation is completely fucked. Solar city tech captures light and puts it in a battery. That is transferred to your car battery at a charging station. Clean and renewable. If that isn't the future we are heading toward then I'm sad.
## Speaker_0: ##
TSLA is just like the Tulip bulb craze imo, enjoy the ride but get out before this bull market ends
## Speaker_2: ##
>It occurred in Holland during the early 1600s when speculation drove the value of tulip bulbs to extremes. At the height of the market, the rarest tulip bulbs traded for as much as six times the average person's annual salary.
## Walls1337bot: ##
So tulips were basically Dutch Beanie Babies?
