Recommending a restaurant and options calculator that were both more relevant in 1986

Fuck off. I'm pretty passionate about food, collected 50+ Michelin stars at this point. And the options calculator works fine.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Exchanging money for food and having taste are not the same thing.
And, it doesn't.
## Speaker_0: ##
You fucking with the wrong dude. The only thing I'm more passionate about than investing is fine dining.
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's not a thing. Everyone eats the best food they can afford. I'm glad you've done well enough for yourself you can enjoy those places, and I'm genuinely glad you enjoy them.
## Speaker_0: ##
Fine dining isn't about the money, it's food elevated to another level. I guess some people at it because it's what they can afford, but to me it's genuinely a better experience.

I can't get enough bashing on Robinhood users. The fact that at least I lose money in a less retarded way than other people is the only thing that keeps me going.
## Speaker_2: ##
Honest question, what's wrong with Robinhood?
## Walls1337bot: ##
It gives average people the ability to gamble on financial instruments they don't understand at all.
## Speaker_2: ##
I guess you could say that it lowers the barrier of entry, however, wasn't that barrier was already rather low?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Lol if you want to trade options on Robinhood basically all you have to do is check a box that says "I know what I'm doing".

the rules went into effect in 2015
the internet was fine before that
the rules don't apply to mobile anyways
the fastest internet in america is the microwave network used by hft stuff (this is why you go long cboe).
everyone should ditch their cable and switch to some unlimited 4g plan with free netflix like tmobile1
amazon web services is the host for netflix and a bunch of shit, if the isps fuck with amazon income then amazon will just buy them and fix it.
if for some reason the internet does get worse (its infrastructure is really shitty now, not sure why people want it to be remain this way), it just creates awesome new startup opportunities to make a better internet.
## Speaker_1: ##
I feel like it's a gamble with our current internet access being the risk. I can't say I'm on board but I believe in capitalism and this is the most capitalist move to be made in terms of ISP's. I can envision a bright future from this but they're are certainly risks involved leaving the decisions to American companies. I hope dollar democracy will keep us on the right path.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Capitalism only thrives when competition pushes it to progress. ISPs will likely just stagnate and charge more and more money for shittier and shittier service. Stock prices will boost initially, but then we'll see cord cutting expand from cable TV to the Internet. Long T and VZ, and TMUS if you think the plebs will actually pay their bills.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah they'll stagnate until competition forces them to unfuck their way of doing business
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's the point. There won't be competition due to legislation that prevents competition.

I bet riding a bike is fun as hell, but I'm not ashamed that I don't have the balls to ride one. I feel unsafe enough driving a car beside complete idiots texting or speeding through traffic...
I just can't imagine that there is enough of a new market to keep buying bikes. Maybe HD should use their cash on something new, I have no clue what... maybe they could make a truck. haha.
## Speaker_1: ##
At the end of the riding season when I start driving my car again, I feel more likely to get in an accident. I don't have the maneuverability or speed to get out of a sticky situation, and I've got less visibility in the car.
If I could ride year round, I would.
10 years riding and over 120,000 miles ridden and the only crash I had was my fault on the race track.
## Speaker_2: ##
Defensive riding is the only way to go. I was quite unlucky, within a year of riding, I was rear ended by some college chick.
## Speaker_1: ##
Absolutely a bad situation. Hopefully you're alright and kept riding.
Makes me sad when people quit riding after an accident.
## Walls1337bot: ##
My brothers two accidents: 1) merged into when a young college girl decided to cut across the turn lane without looking to stop at a gas station and 2) tboned when a young college girl decided to cross the street in front of him when pulling into a bar (was looking for a parking spot instead of at the road she was cutting across). He was wearing full protective equipment but still had brain bleeding the second time. I don't see how anyone rides bikes while college-aged girls are allowed to have licenses.

That's fucking retarded, even for wsb standards. I'm not a billionaire so don't listen to me. But there are plenty of people with plenty of money who share my skepticism of Musk. Why not listen to them? People who actually know what they're talking about, and some of them even act like they're older than 15. How can you trust someone with billions of dollars who refuses to answer questions by analysts because they're 'boring'? Or who seemingly thinks of a new dumbass project to play around with every other day? If I was gonna invest in a company, I'd like the CEO to focus on running it and not founding a hat company one day and a space company the next and a candy company the next. And I'd like him to answer my fucking questions. And I'd like him to engage in an actual conversations with critics and take their suggestions instead of making fun of them on Twitter so his cult following abuses them. In short, the guy is a clown and i won't ever invest in any of his companies. If you do and you make bank, great. I'm happy for you. I'm not short. But you people have got to stop acting like he's God. He's a stock promoter and a bored billionaire.

So is Tesla but that hasnt stopped them so far
## Walls1337bot: ##
Tesla truly exemplifies that a market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent. I've never personally seen anything like it.
## Speaker_1: ##
Care to explain?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Sure. Tesla sells cars, at a loss on every one of them. They're helped along with electric vehicle tax credits, but even with that they have only posted a profitable quarter once.
Let's suppose they get their shit together and start making a profit instead of a loss on vehicle sales. How many cars does it take to recoup the roughly 15-20 billion dollars you owe in debt and liabilities? Their cash burn is close to $2 billion a quarter right now.
Really neat cars, but Tesla is a cash incinerator. Cars are a relatively low margin business. You can make arguments on recharging stations, but the other automotive companies aren't going to stand idly by and let Tesla make a monopoly without a fight.
## Speaker_2: ##
> Their cash burn is close to $2 billion a quarter right now.
Are you for real?
For comparison purposes this is what it cost Detroit to throw out the design and start over and make an entire new ~~vehicle~~ platform from scratch ... and it would be spent over 24 to 36 months.
The eFocus cost roughly $300M to field.
## Walls1337bot: ##
So fact checked myself, and Tesla only blew through $1.4 billion last quarter. But it's an enormous amount of money. Most analysts suggest Tesla will need a capital raise in Q3 this year (they had about 3 billion cash on hand last quarterly report).
They've averaged about a billion a quarter for some time now.

We've been in a massive bull run for almost 10 years. Companies have huge, illogical valuations. We have a declining housing market, and rising rates, along with record debt. We have a lunatic president, and if the house goes blue, the dems will be out to get him.
## Speaker_1: ##
The catalyst will be a trade deal with China. That's the big issue looming over the market because of the long term consequences of tariffs and 'cold war' economic battles. If the trade disputes get resolved, buckle up for bull run round 2.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Did you see that Trump's top financial advisor said that they aren't close to a trade deal with China in a stark contradiction to Trump's comments?
## Speaker_1: ##
Yes. And what does that have to do with my comment?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I was addressing your last sentence. I figured that you were aware of Trump's comments about how negotiations with Xi were going well. Just checking in that you heard the contradictory message too.

* The debt will be reported to credit agencies, making borrowing money difficult as it will affect your credit score. Additionally, its presence may cause your other lenders to cut off access to their products (e.g., a credit card company closing your account) or raise the interest rate you are charged as an offset to the higher risk you now represent. If you have business loans or other liabilities that permit accelerated maturity in the event of a major change in your financial condition, you may find the entire balance owed on those debts, as well.
* Universal default may be triggered and, in jurisdictions where it is permitted, you may find your insurance rates on your home, cars, or other policies increasing substantially as you are now considered deficient in character. Additionally, you may find it harder to land a new job as some states allow companies to consider credit histories as being indicative of responsibility and capability.
* The broker will launch a lawsuit against you demanding immediate repayment, including legal costs. The remedies available depend upon the specific laws of the state but may include forcing you to disclose your entire financial situation including income, assets, and debts under oath, and having bank accounts and other personal property garnished or seized, including putting real estate investments up for sale.

He thought he bought options expiring in Oct 2019 for a really good price. Turns out 10/19 means October 19, 2018.
## Speaker_2: ##
Can you explain the 138 part, if the price was 60 with a break even at 61
## Speaker_1: ##
All options contracts are for 100 shares. So if the price of a contract is $1.38 per share it's actual price is $138.
An option Call lets you buy 100 shares at the strike price ($60 in this case). So if he buys 100 shares at $60, he would need to sell them at $61.38 per share in order to break even.
## Speaker_3: ##
I might be super dumb but why does he need to sell them at $61.38 to break even? Fees? (For the record I never bought anything, I don't even know how to do so eventhough I'd like to get started).
## Speaker_4: ##
He paid a fee of $138 for the option to buy 100 shares, which equates to $1.38 per share. So the break even price is $60 + $1.38 per share.
## Speaker_3: ##
Oh right. I'm dumb, thanks for the explanation!

Great question. Why is anyone holding BAC when they could be holding BAC.WS.A? You should sell BAC and buy BAC.WS.A.
## Speaker_0: ##
Reading the prospectus, I really don't understand this concept. It says the warrants have an expiry in 2019, and are very risky, and could expire worthless. Why are they priced at $13, when the common stock is at $25? I'm imagining the common stock is the underlying asset that these warrants are based off of, right? Would love some insight.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Do you know what a call option is? If they were priced less than that it would be free money as they could be exercised for BAC shares.
## Speaker_0: ##
I understand, but shouldn't the price be closer to $25 than $13?
So if I understand this correctly, it is like buying a call option with a strike price of 12 or 13, and an expiration of 2019? And then when it expires, the warrant stocks are converted to common stocks 1:1? And would only lose money if BAC common stock is worth less than 12-13 at expiration? It seems like free gainz. I must not be understanding this correctly. BAC should be worth $40 by 2019.
## Walls1337bot: ##
You have to pay $12 to exercise. Current stock price - exercise price = intrinsic value of the option. It's pure leverage and it is a two way street.
Consider these three scenarios:
A. You invest $5,000 in BAC at $25/share. You have 200 shares.
B. You invest $5,000 in BAC.WS.A at $12.5/share. You have 400 warrants.
C. You invest in $5,000 in BAC.WS.B at $1.44/share ($30.79/strike). 3,472 warrants.
1. BAC goes to $40. Portfolio A Value = 200\*40 = $8,000. Portfolio B's value is you exercise at $12 strike price. (40-12)\*400 = $11,200. 2.24x gain over portfolio A for the same investment. Portfolio C you exercise at $30.79 strike. (40-30.79)\*3,472 = $31,977.12. 6.4x gain. Right now just to even **break even** BAC has to be up by $32.23 by October 2018.
2. BAC has some accounting scandal or made some bad investments. They're now worth $12 a share. Portfolio A - $12\*200 = $2,400. Your loss: 5,000 - $2,400 = $2,600. 52% loss. Portfolio B - Your value (12-12)\*400. There is no reason to exercise and pay the strike price when you can just buy the same stock for the same price or cheaper. Your loss = $5,000. 100% loss. Same with the WS.B warrants, $5,000 loss.
3. BAC stays the same price. Both portfolios are $5,000, however, portfolio C is worthless as why would you exercise at $30.79/strike? (25-30.79)\*3472 = -20,102.
You can now see how leverage is a two way street. With option A you can baghold until they come back. Option B you're wiped out.
For the record I really don't think BAC will be worth $40 by that time. It would require them to suddenly be valued at 25x P/E ratio or they get some amazing business.

I've got almost $10,000 in AMD right now and when I get paid tomorrow I'll have over $11,000 in it.
Mark my words, AMD is what sets the foundation for my early retirement fund. I'm in this for the long haul; bring on $20 per share, Lisa Su lingerie and my long deserved Yacht.
## Speaker_1: ##
U going to retire on 20k? Roflmao
## Speaker_0: ##
"Foundation", I'm looking for a solid foundation to start my early retirement account; light details below.
Age: 24.5
Total Current Wealth: $32k
Income: $50k - $65k per year (I have a $48k salary and a few side clients so income will vary by $10k, but my base is $48k min)
Expenses: $20k - $28k (I've managed cheap rent, earned a full scholarship for college, parents bought me a car freshman year of college to commute to school with)
Average Savings: $34k
By my estimates I'll be near 50k come years end, considering how much I can still save from my full-time/side hustle. Lisa Su willing, I'll be closer to $60k. Additionally, I got a promotion back in May and with it, the promise that I'll see a big raise come years end. I know companies can't be trusted etc..., but considering the nature of my circumstance/position I trust I'll see at least a $10k rise in salary. If I keep my expenses remain stable I'll easily hit $100,000+ by late 25, early 26. At that point I'm going to need to make some serious life decisions.... Am I happy doing what I do? Can I gamble $30k of this on a 3x Leveraged ETF for maximum Yacht-age? Should I just move to Colombia and say fuck it?
Granted, these estimates are ROUGH and this is all barring a market crash that leaves me bag holding for 3-5 years. I really do believe in AMD though and if it can continue to excel at half the pace it has, I'll be soooooooo much closer to financial freedom than most.
## Speaker_2: ##
You have a third of your wealth in AMD? Damn, you belong here.

News flash: Hes going to be found guilty, because he is blatantly obviously guilty. He lost investor money which he lied to acquire and then plundered his pharma company to pay them back through a series of illegal and traceable transactions. Its an open and shut case. Just because the initial investors made a profit doesn't mean it isn't illegal. Its like, if I tell someone I'm going to baby sit their kid for the night, then steal the kid, lose the kid at the mall, avoid the parents for 2 years, and then come back after 2 years with triplets who I stole from an orphanage and go "oh here, I brought back three kids, so now your up!". That shit isn't legal either. Even if the parents were cool with it, I doubt the orphanage would be.
## Speaker_1: ##
what lies did he use to get the funds that is the real question. If he said "I am going to buy stocks for you" then fucked off that defrauding, saying "i dropped out of college to focus on stonks" while actually graduating is not fraud its light fibbing at worst.
## Speaker_2: ##
"The prosecutors showed evidence that Mr. Shkreli had lied about the assets under management, how quickly investors could redeem funds, their ability to redeem funds and who the auditor was. Then, once they had put in money, he sent fake performance updates after having lost all of the fund’s money.
He sent statements until September 2012 — when, in fact, MSMB Capital shut down its brokerage firm account after a bad trade in February 2011, when “there was nothing left in the fund,” Ms. Smith said."
He's going to be guilty of at least the first 3 counts and the illegal stock payments are another couple counts he's definitely getting.

## Speaker_1: ##
This one OP
Also Trump knows the middle America blue collar constituency thinks China steals their jerbs. Being tough on China, whether good policy or not, is politically useful. Unless he crashes the economy and bankrupts farmers with it.
## Speaker_2: ##
>Also Trump knows the middle America blue collar constituency thinks China steals their jerbs.
I mean, they objectively do. The average American consumer saw short term price reductions on consumer goods and had no way to know the residual effects on their wages and their local economy. We traded a decent standard of living for cheap TVs and cheap labor.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah, but globalization. If not China, someone else, a little bit later, a little bit slower.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Eh kind of. China's command economy allows them to force extremely low wages. Thus china is Cheap, and they provide a massive quantity of the product. The US on the other hand is more expensive and provides less. The tradeoff here however, is that American production is much higher quality than Chinese production.
## Speaker_1: ##
Agreed they are best equipped to do what they've done. But ultimately free trade, capitalism, and unique geo political situations are going to combine somewhere and cause it to happen at some scale and at some point without protectionism.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Correct. It's easier to give warranties and replace the product 30 times at those prices than too give them 1 good product. I tend to buy american because I know a product made here is built too last, but for things like TVs and the like that are expensive as all hell, having a lifetime warranty or something in the like is nice and that's what you get with China.
## Speaker_3: ##
what TVs are even made in the US? it feels like you can't even get something of good quality even if you have the money to spend on it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
None, TVs were just the first thing that came to mind. If you want an actual example of a quality american made product I guess car parts would be a good example. Certain parts made in the US are much better than abroad. Problem is when you put 10 parts together and only one is from the US and everything else is failing, it's still a "crappy product."

See the problem with your logic is that you are thinking like a professional not like a fucking idiot with ADHD. Trump will drag himself deeper because its in his nature to go overboard with terrible ideas. All the Chinese has to do is call him stupid or increase the tariffs on the existing 50million, and Trump will in turn reciprocate. Trump basically fired all the people who keep his stupidity in check.
## Speaker_1: ##
How many times has trump done something like this? Plenty.
Take DACA for example.
He starts with, border wall, and all 12 million of them go home, including the dreamers.
Idiots scream bloody murder that ICE is the next gestapo and going to round up all the mexicans and chuck them in the Rio Grande cinched tight.
Then by the end of it he's offering to let the dreamer's stay in exchange for a border wall and reduced immigration + reform. Which is basically what the dems were asking for 5 years ago.
It is almost as if Mr. Trump has a stick in one hand, and a carrot in the other. To which he shows one, and then offers the other.
Trump will quit the tariffs around June-August, just in time for elections.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Wait, what reality are you in where Trump successfully negotiated for a border wall? In the example you gave, he got nowhere and made no deals.
## Speaker_1: ##
.... I didn’t say he made the deal. I said he negotiated.
## Walls1337bot: ##
And his negotiations failed, so that’s a terrible example.
## Speaker_2: ##
Oh really?
What do you want to bet the Wall starts getting worked on inside the year?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Sure. It’ll take appropriations from Congress, and they didn’t seem to care about the Wall last spending bill they passed. Not sure what will make them want to build the wall within the next year, especially if Congress flips blue (which pundits from both sides agree upon looking at the historical data of midterm elections).
Regardless, it doesn’t make his negotiating in the example OP provided any better if the wall is built a year later.

I'm considering quitting my job to trade /ES futures full time. Seems like the easiest thing to trade for like 30mins a day then doing whatever afterwards.
Even if I only trade a relatively small position like 3-4 contracts, I can close it after I make like 500-1k or some shit and realistically make more than I make working a regular job. Idk man, it's tempting to just say yolo and actually be a professional autist.
## Speaker_0: ##
please elaborate.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I recently started trading the /ES futures, which is the S&P mini contract. Each contract requires around ~5500-6500 in margin to purchase (at least when I trade in the middle of the night) and with every .25 move in the S&P you make/lose $12.50 per contract. I started out trading 4, which is somewhat risky since it requires around 20k in margin. 4 contracts is $50 every .25 move in the S&P, at some points if I have a $2.50 trailing stop I have made around $1000 relatively quickly (10-15 mins) especially with the recently volatility.
If I can realistically do like 2-3 contracts, or 25-37.50 per .25 move, every day and attempt to make at least $500+ a day, I would quit my job to do it full time.
It's risky since obviously there would be points where I could lose the same amount of money in the same time, which is why I always have stop losses in place to prevent exceptional losses.
Last friday in the last 1hr of the market, I went short -4 contracts and made like 3k before my stop loss got kicked. This was a super risky move because of how volatile that day was towards the end. If I would have left my stop loss off, I would have made like 15k or so towards the last 10mins of the day. Obviously this is one of the things that scares me the most, because I could easily get wrecked and have the same size loss. So idk, still debating it. I'll keep trading on the side to test my ability and see how it goes.
Edit: dont know why I got downvoted but that is very rude I tell you, poured my heart and soul out and I just get down voted like that. Very rudeboi

Robinhood is very plain but free is free. I trade a lot it works for me. I use my E\-trade account for all the extras. I had about 300 in fees on options over the year.
Edit on clarity of what i was happy about. And my mom is proud

Robinhood is a platform that lets you perform stock trades without fees. Most/all other brokerages have a per transaction fees and commission.

orders might not execute as quickly, not as many extra features you'd get through other brokers, can't actually short sell, etc. It's great for what it's worth but if you're serious or a professional then you'll need to have a "real" broker, but you can still use RH for "fun" nobody actually gives a fuck.

NOK 6.00 calls , DD somewhere here on wsb
## Speaker_1: ##
Good call �� I'm a network engineer and I believe Nokia is going to do very well, they just developed the worlds fastest routers that drop in Q4 of this year.
edit: They also have a beautiful balance sheet with loads of cash and 0.20 debt-to-equity ratio, they also have been repurchasing millions of shares, and they plan to buy back $1.5 billion in debt/notes. Management seems to be very competent too.
FUN FACT: Nokia is older than Finland where they have their HQ, talk about longevity!
## Speaker_2: ##
I think most of what they are doing is starting really next year so its perfect timing to load up on stock and LEAPs
## Speaker_3: ##
I'd wait until the start of Q4. OTM seems a bit risky, ITM seems to reap all possible rewards with such cheap options.
## Speaker_2: ##
I wouldn't do OTM I would do heavy ITM.
## Walls1337bot: ##
But wouldn't OTM be cheaper?

Much cheaper, but you run the risk that the price never hits your intended target and then some. If you hold ITM, you can sell your position in case anything gets sour. If you wanna chuck 1k in it and not care you can either buy shares or you can buy the 7 dollar strike contracts for .72 cents or the 10 dollar strike for 22 cents for jan 18th 2019.

There was a guy not long ago that bought another stock at ATH, though to be fair it was hard to know that at the time.
Didn't know what selling covered calls meant.
After it was explained to him he refused saying that any day the stock would surge and he wasn't going to miss out on the gains by trying to earn some premium.

ATH?
## Walls1337bot: ##
All time high.
It's popular to say "don't buy at ATH" because during a bull run many stocks are at or near ATH for years at a time and you can miss out big. See AAPL since Jan 2010. Sure there were some pullbacks, but it basically went up 10x since then, and the real crazy part to me is basically doubling in the last two years.
All that said sometimes when something goes up immensely on next to little/no news (like TLRY) it might be worth being a bit cautious as it skyrockets.

Buy side analysts on the other hand are right much more often, but they don’t publish their stuff because why would they?
## Speaker_1: ##
\^ Right answer. Buy-Side iirc publish only to their clients. The analyst reports that the public can see are recommendations by brokers likely on the sell-side. Some were even managers in the raising and likely have substantial holdings.
## Speaker_2: ##
No no no. Buyside doesn’t publish shit. They BUY the stocks/bonds/whatever that their research indicates are over/under valued - hence the name BUYside. Big brokerages like fidelity will occasionally publish low-grade research, but this is specifically for brokerage clients, not for the portfolio management teams.
And FWIW, the sellside analysts at the major banks do not have holdings in the companies they cover. There are some smaller, shittier companies that are looser with the rules, but the name brand banks do not permit that at all - it’s an unnecessary compliance mess. When I was in banking, I was on the debt side, but even then, I wasn’t even allowed to own sector-specific ETFs in sectors where I was doing underwriting/banking.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Correct. But buy side to publish reasons for the top and bottom performing investments to their clients in investment reports and meeting packs.
## Speaker_2: ##
That’s basic performance attribution or just ‘market commentary’ more colloquially. I write that for my sleeve every quarter; in fact I’ll have my team start on that this coming week for the end of 3q19.
The difference is that it’s 95% backwards looking with minimal forward-looking analysis. From a very high level, sellside research, in general, is trying to get you to take some sort of action (eg long, short, cycle, rotate, etc). Buyside market commentary is, in general, explaining something well after the fact with a healthy dose of performance attribution.
I know ppl are going to say, “But Einhorn/ackman/Icahn/starboard!!!” - they are a tiny subset of hedge funds (activist funds) that rely of taking positions, then publicly harassing the company. But activist funds are a tiny portion of the overall mkt. Pt72, 2sig, citadel, deshaw, bridgewater, rentech - and pretty much the rest of the world - *dont* put their investment theses in their public commentary.
The buyside does have to get in front of their clients. I spend way too much time on airplanes going to visit my top investors/clients. In those meeting I’ll go into more detail *verbally* about what we are seeing and what we are doing and why we are doing it. But I’d never even consider publishing that and making it public.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Nice writeup. So are you like an Irm on the buy side? Or head of client reporting?
You are right that that majority of these situations all the reporting is market commentary, performance of funds in the past quarter etc, however more recently they are looking at two things.
1. Publishing predictive results. This is more of a BI thing they are looking to incorporate into client reporting, but they are looking to.
2.also a lot of firms now have thematic investing, their own styles, and again, correct, it is usually after the fact where they explain how their investments have fared. However, sometimes now they are publishing fund manager inserts where they explain why investments were made.
Correct again though these go to clients.
Enjoyed your writeup mate

fun fact the wolf of wall street broke the record for the most use of profanity outside of a documentary literally about the word fuck.
reflective of real life tbh
## Speaker_1: ##
I still can't believe it was rated R. Show Girls was more tame than that movie and it got NC 17
## Speaker_2: ##
I remember the South Park guys talking about how they threw in a bunch of extra cursing and overall degeneracy in the first submission of the South Park movie so that they could "fix it" after getting an NC-17 rating and release the movie as they intended. Movie ratings, like any other system, can be manipulated.
## Speaker_3: ##
The exact same thing happened with [Wolf of Wall Street](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/wolf-wall-street-avoids-nc-660653). Scorsese pulled the same trick he used for Casino. The versions released are the ones he wanted to begin with.

## Walls1337bot: ##
I work part time at a socal Amazon fullfillment center. it is BUSY but there isn't a single robot there and don't see them taking over anytime soon given the nature of the work. my guess is that the robots are only at the very early stages of the order.
## Speaker_2: ##

I'm curious, what do you think is done that a machine couldn't do?
## Walls1337bot: ##
the machine would need to have the versatility of a human being. it needs to do A LOT. move around, handle unusual situations (package is opened for example or is damaged), push and pull things to various places depending on size, identify information and react to that info. there's also a million oddly shaped envelopes and bag packages that would give it a really hard time for some of the tasks. can it be done? yes many years in the future.

In the full sized truck market (F-150) GM has a 34% market share and Ford has a 39% market share. So GM really isn't far behind.

this is r/investing
r/personalfinance gets a boner for Emergency Funds in low interest savings accounts.
## Speaker_1: ##
Man only if Ally had a 1.55% APR... I'd be able to save up for a car by the time I'm 80.
## Speaker_2: ##
Cars are expensive to maintain, insure, and fuel, let alone buy. Invest part of your sweet guaranteed low interest savings returns in a local transit pass and travel indefinitely.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I like r/frugal for that reason. Government assistance allows you to get a free bus pass and eligible for housing subsidies, so don't make more than *x* amount and you can live for free!
r/personalfinance recommends living like an absolute hermit.
## Speaker_3: ##
It’s so sad because sometimes purchasing something expensiveness leads to opportunities that you wouldn’t otherwise have. For example, I’m big on art collecting and that’s lead to me to befriending and making connections with people that have been a major boon to my life. If I followed r/personalfinance they would have said I shouldn’t have spent my money on art and just dumped it in more guards for my vans.

Everyone’s hating on the guy but a $30 fee? He’s right to be pissed.
## Speaker_1: ##
It's crazy how fees are so much worse when you are poor.
I remember on college I used the wrong card for like 5 purchases and ended up with $250 in fees that I absolutely could not pay (my empty account being the reason I got the fees in the first place).
Now I'm loaded and couldn't care less about a $250 penalty and my credit card pays me instead.
## Speaker_2: ##
Everything sucks more when you're poor. Nominal fees basically can wipe someone's budget (if they even have one) for the week/month.
Being poor also = a lot of waiting. Waiting for the bus, for the tram, for the train, for the check cashing place, for someone to help you out on your account issue, for someone to open the store so you can get to your minimum wage gig.
I'm not talking about college kid poor as well, but legitimate working poor shit. Anyways money doesn't buy happiness but it sure as fuck gives you options - even the derivative kinds that expires worthless.
The game in America is actually straightforward - don't be fucking poor.
## Speaker_3: ##
Money doesn't buy happiness but when used wisely, it does buy you the freedom to eventually stop showing up to a 9 to 5er and do whatever the fuck you want every day of your life. That's the goal. Are we suppose to obide by that retire when your 65-70 bullshit and then travel the world when we need new hips and back surgeries? Lol, I won't be playing that game. The problem is financial education isn't taught in most schools and when people reach adulthood, they have to figure it out themselves and most don't.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> financial education isn't taught in most schools
Amen to that. I have friends living paycheck-to-paycheck off six figure incomes because they never learned how to manage their money, and most people in America seem to have no clue. It's fucking ridiculous.
