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.

5-10 more years and every car company will have a decent electric car offering. Unless Tesla keeps innovating will be hard for them to keep this sort of price up for a long period of time
## Speaker_1: ##
Tesla is much more than just a car company. Look at the bigger picture.
## Speaker_0: ##
So are almost all other car companies
## Speaker_1: ##
I don't think Toyota is also a energy supplier like Pg&e, or a battery supplier like LG, or does solar panel installs. Tesla could have revenue from so many places. Their battery facyory produces more lithium ion batteries than anyone else combined in the world. And they want to make 10+ more factories.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Toyota makes houses as well as a shitload of industrial equipment and materials. As well as trucks, HVAC and many other things. They also have a similar EV battery manufacturing partnership with Panasonic (PEVE).

Maybe the move here is to wait for an ER that seems overly optimistic, have the price jump AH, and buy puts the next day after the IV crush because that shits going to zero anyway eventually.
## Speaker_1: ##
this. the expected ER is going to be trash, i believe DAU is going to go back up along with revenue causing SNAP to pop.
## Speaker_2: ##
SNAP has surprised before with a BIG jump on earnings. Last earnings the stock traded sideways from $12.50. It's down nearly 45% since then, and the shorts / puts have piled on *hardcore*. I'm honestly expecting a spike up to $10-$11, which used to be old support. It won't stick, but given that my calls expire on Friday I DGAF. $8.50 calls will return nearly 13 to 1 with an underlying price of $10 on Friday. That's a much better risk / reward than trying to pile on with all the shorts. I don't believe in the company long-term, but these things take longer to die than people expect, and I expect volatility in the meantime. This is mostly a contrarian move, but the chart supports a potential for it to spike up 50%.
## Walls1337bot: ##
A lot of people do not agree here, but the chart indicates snap is severely oversold still, and one catalyst and it will jump
## Speaker_0: ##
Anything over zero is overbought
## Walls1337bot: ##
I agree 100%, the company is dogshit, but unfortunately, it won't drop to 0 overnight and it might have a dead cat bounce from earnings.

time for 12k in tsla puts?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I went with a longer term and farther out of the money call. No joke, I intend to hang onto this option for a while. http://imgur.com/BxLiAQU
I haven't gotten a feel for where the resistance is and what the cycle will look like yet for a shorter term play. Probably going to stash half of it because I don't want to overexpose myself. If I get too much money caught up in option investing (which is pretty much all that I do with my Tradeking Account) then I get far too emotionally involved in the market.
But yes... the hype is dying, the shorts are probably going to come stronger, and a put might be a solid play. Just not for me at the moment...
## Speaker_1: ##
Dafuq?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Woof? (But seriously, if you have a question, be specific and I'll answer it.)
## Speaker_1: ##
I guess that was pretty vague. My main question is what made you grab a call that far out? Is it a general faith in the company or is there a reason for that date? There are a lot of things that can happen in that time completely unrelated to the company or beyond their control that could have a seriously negative impact.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Reasoning for the date is general faith in the company, to some extent, and also that date is just after the release date of the model 3. It's not so much that I believe in the company, but that I believe that other people will believe in the company, and that demand for this product is going to be huge.
A couple other users have pointed me to calendar spreads. I may end up doing that instead.

"White people don't know what's it like being poor" -Bernie Sanders
Not only he lacks any understanding of economics, this was easily the most racist comment in the entire 2016 political campaign.
#SANDERS WILL DESTORY THE AMERICAN ECONOMY AND OUR FAT GAINS. COMPANIES WILL FLEE THIS COUNTRY. ENERGY SECTOR WILL BE CRIPPLED.
In all seriousness if this guy is the nominee, short the indices.
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm an idiot savant so can you please ELI5 how his policies will ruin the economy?
## Speaker_0: ##
Sure.
Increasing taxes on companies and 1% will make other countries more attractive to operate in. Wealth will leave this country. Unfortunately wealth & wealthy people generate jobs (companies) that ultimate lead to innovation from companies. Think of a country as company/bank. If this bank has unfavorable transaction fees, you would switch to another bank.
The tax on trading will absolutely destroy liquidity in the market. It will much more difficult to get orders thru. Sweden tried it and it fucked their shit up https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_financial_transaction_tax
Reducing corporate taxes will encrouge companies to comeback to the united states, not increasing them.
Think of it like this, in most simplified terms: If the tax rate is 50%, the number of companies finding it favorable to operating within the US will be 5 (remember other countries have more favorable rates). These 5 companies generate $5,000,000 in total so the government collects. $2,500,000 in taxes.
Now if the tax rate was reduced to 25%. There is a higher chance that 10 companies will operate within the US. These 10 companies generate $10,000,000 combined and the US would collect $**4**,000,000 in taxes. Kind of like scales of economy concept, kind of but applied to lower taxes = more companies = more jobs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economies_of_scale
I really oversimplified this but I hope you get the idea. Tax cuts on wealthy and corporation improve economic output as counter-intuitive as that sounds.
EDIT: Some would say this Trickle down economics Trickle down economics (by the way, its a shit political term, not economics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics) was never coupled with favorable trade deals and corporate incentives (if you pay workers more, we will reduce your tax rate by another 5%, if your H1B1 to US citizen ratio is greater than 1:2, we will increase your tax by 5%). Just because it didn't work 1890s and 1920s doesn't mean we can't continue to improve on this idea in 2016 where we have a better understanding of economic theories via experience. All previous supply-side economics (the correct term) were left unchecked
#BRING ON THE DOWNVOTES YOU CUCKS, THERE IS NO FREE LUNCH OR FREE HEALTHCARE/COLLEGE. LE TRICKLE DOWN EMCANOMICS, LE WALL ST, LE BANKS, LE FINANICAL BAILOUT, LE RICH PEOPLE. ME CUCK, ALL ME KNOW IS BLANKET TERMS
## Walls1337bot: ##
>Tax cuts on the wealthy and corporations improve economic output
Are you really implying that trickle down economics works? Because it's been shown time and time again to be a complete and utter failure
## Speaker_0: ##
Are you implying that increasing taxes increases economic production? Because this is shown to be guaranteed failure. Trickle down economics (by the way, its a shit political term, not economics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trickle-down_economics) was never coupled with favorable trade deals and corporate incentives (if you pay workers more, we will reduce your tax rate by another 5%). Just because it didn't work 1890s and 1920s doesn't mean we can't continue to improve on this idea in 2016 where we have a better understanding of economic theories than via experience. All previous supply-side economics (the correct term) were left unchecked.
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's fine, but a pretty huge part of supply side economics requires businesses to actually reinvest their additional income back into the economy, not give their executives tens of millions in bonuses that can shipped to offshore accounts. So unless we implement something that forces them to do so then nothing will come of it

Exact opposite
If Dems get a majority, they're going to stall ERR'THING they can which sucks for business.
**Political disunity is bad for business.** Plus if one of their witch hunts turns up anything on Trump, we'll have a nightmare of instability. China will know they can just wait out Trump, they won't negotiate shit.
HOWEVER if BlueWave stalls out and things stay exactly as they've been these two years, and Americans affirm they're pro-business, everything will be exactly the same, we're going past the moon.
Watch.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Have you been paying attention the last 25 years? How in the hell are the dems anti-business wtf
## Speaker_2: ##
In principle aren't all left wing governments supposed to be less pro-business than the right? I know you're going to make the argument about how well the economy did under democrats historically but that's kinda beside the point. In the short to medium term, lower taxes and less regulation is going to be good for share prices and noone is looking far enough ahead to worry about the deficit, environment, income disparity, etc etc....
## Walls1337bot: ##
The economy has been "good" under both the GOP and the Dems. The Democratic Party has represented the center (the business/professional class) since the early 90s -- and maybe even since Carter and the 1978 election. You're right that left-wing governments are less pro-business than the right, but the Dems have not been left-wing. A party that has been led by Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Barack Obama, and Hillary Clinton for the past 25 years is not left-wing and is not anti-business.

Careful dude, shits swinging like harambe's cock right now and with the mediokre jobs report no idea how the market will react

You mean the amazing jobs report, that continues to give evidence that we are at full fucking employment?
https://np.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/4rwn7q/you_dildoes_need_to_understand_unemployment/?ref=search_posts
## Speaker_2: ##
Why would anyone give 2 shits about full employment when people think WW3 is coming with Hillary taking office or an economic crash if Trump gets in. Those might be exaggerations but definite sentiment is there. It won't matter if if we're at full employment if we're all dead or unemployed by January.
## Speaker_1: ##
I think you have that backwards. While Clinton is hawkish, she's hawkish in the conventional sense (foreign meddling, drone strikes, etc). Trump has people legitimately scared he'll start a nuclear war. And Clinton's economic policies are... suboptimal... they are not radical enough to cause a "crash". Trump has markets scared - not Clinton.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm with you on this. Unfortunately, I don't understand why the market was so red all week long and now suddenly it's green today (must be the jobs report). But yeah, this is why every time Trump is in the lead, JNUG jumps.

That's an interesting theory... probably the second or third time I've read it. I want to believe that the market is discounted right now, but I have a hard time believing that the rate hike won't show it's ugly face in the Q4-Q1 reports. I might just liquidate and wait until after the hike to buy in. Haven't decided yet.

Genius! Tariffs on the product of one of the most successful American companies which are built by a Taiwanese firm he recently praised for opening a factory in the USA.... Not sure what the long term plan is with these tariffs at this point.
Aside from saying just trade deficit and IP has the Whitehouse articulated what they actually want anywhere? I feel like he just wants to say later "I made a deal!!" So by keeping goals vague you can claim a success.

Lol, how’s your electric vehicle program going there Ford? No one is going to want to buy an ICE vehicle in 5 years when it loses 90% of it’s value the second you drive it off the lot.
By the way, anyone want to buy a used pager off of me?
## Speaker_1: ##
Ford and GM both actually make pretty good EVs. They just have much slimmer margins so they don't bother to press them.
Tesla makes a great car, but let's not pretend the big boys can't pivot into the space if the margon is there.
## Speaker_2: ##
This. I bought a used Focus Electric and love the little bastard. It's efficient, has a low payment, and is just fun to drive. I charge at home and it's ready the next day.
That being said Ford didn't do shit to market or support the car at all. And they also seem to not give two fucks about developing a decent EV at all. Like don't they remember 2008 at all? Let's sell big-ass pickup trucks because gas is cheap!
## Speaker_3: ##
EVs are a luxury car right now. Ford doesn't make luxury cars.
The trick to EVs is the battery energy density. Once that technology comes into parity with a cheap combustion engine, you'll see ford dedicate more resources to making them.
Doesn't make sense to lose out on larger margin profits dedicating a line to EV when it can make pickups.

## Speaker_2: ##
Remember that time a 100 billion dollar company couldn't pay the electric bill, so it found 100 billion in financing to go public, and then continued to grow and all its problems went away?
No? That's odd. I wonder if that's because it never happened?
A better company private? The bread and butter of TSLA has been their ability to raise cash through public equity and debt offerings. How in the world are they going to do that in the future by borrowing 100 billion dollars today? Something tells me when they are tapped out as a private company they may encounter some future financing difficulties.

Through oil crises, multiple recessions in the 1960s-2008, 2008 itself he still puts out. Through it all he may have had some rough years, but his average annual return is over 21% per year. For 50 fucking years. If you gave him $10k 20 years ago, it would be over ~~$500k~~ (hit enter too many times) $450k today (minus inflation sure, but that’s still insane). How many “loss porn” posts have we seen were poor souls turn $10k into $0 in a matter of weeks?
So sure, he bought AAPL (I think the average is in the $160s) and if he didn’t unload over $200 then sure that’s a fuck up, but do we really think AAPL is actually never going up again? Personally I think it will, though much slower. Guess what? This motherfucker doesn’t care.
And yes he missed some gems, but based on his returns I think the number of losers he’s had are a bit offset by his winners. I think that if he has a flaw (and none of us are perfect) is that he didn’t anticipate the potential for tech companies in general to command such skyhigh multiples in terms of P/E and P/S that they do.
## Speaker_0: ##
How'd you get over 500k? (1.21\^20)\*10\^4 = 452k with 21% returns. Anyways, his investments are not our investments.

That's my point. This meme makes it seem like dudes a fuck up, but he's not and he has decades of experience showing that's not the case. ~~I do think in recent years his lack of intimate understanding of the "tech" industry may be hampering a bit~~ *in recent years he's been struggling to outpace the SP500 like he used to*, but I have no doubt if he was half his age now he would take it in stride and be just fine, *and I imagine he has people lined up that will try after he's gone*.

## Speaker_1: ##
i watched an 8 min youtube video so i basically have it all figured out
from what i can tell op doesn't own any shares in facebook but bought a bunch of put options (contracts that force buyers to buy at a specific price). since the facebook stock price crashed, people who own those stocks and want to sell them are buying up these put options so they can sell their stocks through the contract for a higher price than market. OPs contracts are now worth a ton
## Speaker_2: ##
Uhhhh there’s a lot wrong with what you said. Puts give the buyer the option to sell 100 shares at a specified price, and the SELLER agrees to buy them if exercised. Also, owners of shares wouldn’t buy these puts at this point to sell them at a higher price, people who would buy them either believe the price will drop further by tomorrow or the people who sold the puts in the first place buying to close.
## Speaker_1: ##
> Puts give the buyer the option to sell 100 shares at a specified price, and the SELLER agrees to buy them if exercised
the seller is obligated to buy them right? Isn't that basically what i just said?
>Also, owners of shares wouldn’t buy these puts at this point to sell them at a higher price, people who would buy them either believe the price will drop further by tomorrow or the people who sold the puts in the first place buying to close.

Bingo. Good teachers are there to impart their working knowledge and experiences so that the students don't have to revisit/repeat history. This saves a lot of time and more efficiently increases the advance of collective knowledge and wisdom. You don't need a teacher to read words out of a book for you in a lecture hall. Most people can self educate by reading on their own. It's the acquired wisdom and experience where value exists for education.

AMD will hit $30 PPS if Zen is competitive. Probably over the course of 2-3 years. But if not I'll be the first in line to sell. Just don't pay any attention to leaks, they don't say shit. Play it to Q4 and put your ears to the web. Spend time learning about the technology behind Zen, what's better than Intel, whats worse. How much that'll impact things. Learn about Samsung's Finfit process, the yields, etc.
But if Zen is competitive then just set it and forget for the next 2 years... Get that long term tax rate at 15% vs your income level too. Save a huge bundle there.

Okay, same concept but backwards. If someone hits a market buy to match up with your limit sell, algos will step in front of your order and sell for $24,999. You will never get filled unless fair value crosses your limit.

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."

Money isn't your problem. Look at your history: you're 20 years old, paying prostitutes for fake relationships, using hard drugs, losing all your cash on gambling. While you might be in good company here, that's all symptoms of serious sickness.
Your head's not on right. Forget about money and focus on that first. Because even if you get all your money back, and millions more, you're still living wrong, where that road won't go anywhere useful.
What you need to realize and drill into your every waking moment, is that **meaningless pleasure is worthless**.
* **Prostitutes** make me feel good like I'm winning *sexually*.
* **Drugs** make me feel good like I'm winning *happily*.
* **Gambling** makes me feel good like I'm winning *financially*.
Sex, bliss, money; it's all basic desires. We feel good when we're winning in life. We seek those pleasures, to win in life.
But you can stimulate them without winning using tricks that are actually losing.
* **Prostitutes** don't make babies or cook you food.
* **Drugs** don't cure the pain only temporarily mask it.
* **Gambling** doesn't produce anything but debt.
You're losing. You have an F on your test, but added a line to make it an A, and it felt good for a moment, until you see it's meaningless and you're still a failure.
The solution is to realize that stimulation, and feeling pleasure, is worthless if it has no real meaning.
Scoring with a chick doesn't count when you pay her. Feeling euphoric doesn't count when it's from a drug. Getting rich doesn't count if you didn't produce anything of value.
You've got it twisted. If you can't realize this truth, you'll chase empty stimulants to your death, and nobody will care because you weren't valuable anyways.
Do something real. Losing some money doesn't mean anything. I'm down around that much, and it's not depressing at all, because I know what matters. I'm building things, and that money is nothing but some play cash. What I build is what has value, because of its utility in helping people improve their life in practical ways.
I'm not paying for sex, or hitting it quick off an app. That's just distraction. If you want a woman, you work to get the resources to invite her into a real home, where you provide her with serious value. You can get your seconds of orgasm alone, without messing around wasting your time and money chasing cheap tricks.
I'm not gambling with anything I can't afford to lose. I don't pretend it's anything but pointless gambling, and don't blame myself when a trade turns red. If I make some gains, I don't pretend it means I'm skilled or valuable, it's just stupid luck, and meaningless money. I focus on building true value from real practical business.
If you can't get it straight, at least educate yourself on the likely [conclusion](http://lostallhope.com/suicide-methods/statistics-most-lethal-methods), and take steps not to mess that up, because you don't want to scar someone for life and mess them up too. But you should be able to figure this out, and realize:
Meaningless pleasure is worthless.
The way you know if it's meaningful or not, is to pretend there's no pleasure, and see if there's any other value. If you couldn't orgasm, or feel pleasure from a woman, what use would the whore be? If you couldn't get high, what use would the drugs be? If you don't have any real business needs for lots of money, then what point is it to be rich?
Pleasure is only worth something when it means something; when it has true practical utility. Find things you can do to stimulate yourself that way.
Like if you clean someone's gutters, and they pay you $20, you can feel good about that gain, because you did something useful. If you take a girl out and she kisses you because she likes you, and you have a future together, you can feel good because that could be your wife. If you exercise every day for months and feel bliss because you're healthy, then that's real.
You're not real. You're a cheater, cheating yourself. Recognize true value, and chase that, not empty thrills.
## Speaker_1: ##
"Prostitutes don't make babies or cook you food"
Feel like the "Prostitutes don't love you back or want mutual happiness" might've been a better route....
## Walls1337bot: ##
Prostitutes also don't have a 66% chance to break your heart and take half your shit when they leave.
Edit: It's a zero percent change that a prostitute will break your heart and take half your stuff, unless you married a prostitute in which case I'm glad I'm not you.
I'm getting a lot of personal attacks, and while I enjoy receiving them(like any human with feelings) perhaps the energy would be better spent looking inward and finding out why I've triggered you so hard.

I know the lottery is a tax on idiots but at some point it becomes stupid not to drop $2 on a 1:292,000,000 chance of whatever your dream is. I mean what can you buy with $2? Like, 1/5 of a banana?
## Speaker_1: ##
The gain from having a 0% chance at winning a substantial amount of money to having a non-zero chance at winning a substantial amount of money is actually really significant.
It doesn't matter if it's guaranteed -EV, the cost is so low over the lifetime of the casual lottery participant that it's almost always worth trying for these large sums.
## Speaker_0: ##
As long as it's casual. The people dropping $20 a week on the lottery are the ones screwing themselves over.
## Speaker_2: ##
LOL $20. I used to own a convenience store, try $200-500 a week for the regulars. Upwards of $1000 on some other guys.
Usually these people are on pensions and SS too. Amazing scam.
I got my money, fuck em.
## Speaker_0: ##
Yeah I know. But even $20 a week (5 chances/draw) every week is fucking retarded. $200 may multiple your chances of winning, but 0.000001 *5 is still 0.000005. I didn't do the actual math of the Powerball on that but the point remains.
We agree. The Powerball is a stupid stupid dum-dum bet - if you bet regularly. But - if you bet one time every couple years when it gets stupid big, it's ok. The odds of winning are the same, but the prize is much much bigger than the base prize.
## Walls1337bot: ##
And this lack of thinking highlights why wsb is known for being stupid. Since everyone has this mentality, more people buy tickets as the pot gets bigger, which makes it more likely that multiple people will win, making the real winnable pot smaller.

There's no reason why we should be rubber stamping monopolies due to over-regulating a space that doesn't need to be that way.
Look at telecoms. It took some growing pains, but they gave wireless internet to the entire country in short order, and due to competition had to dramatically roll back their data-caps and reduce prices.
Trust the fucking free market or go post in LSC.
## Speaker_1: ##
Free market economics assumes that the market isn't controlled by 3 companies. Otherwise the theory doesn't hold true and thus the principles of competition are invalid.
## Speaker_0: ##
That's not true at all. There are a myriad of models, cournot, Bertrand, etc that deal specifically with oligopolies and their competitive choices. These are healthy forms of competition, and if ever they try to collude, another company is always waiting to enter. Always.
All it took was 3 companies to turn the telecom industry into a massive price war.
I'd rather have that than some stupid fucking politician telling us what is the right product and the wrong product.
## Speaker_1: ##
There's a big difference between, let's say, the airline oligopoly and the internet oligopoly. Context matters - like 3 companies controlling internet speeds. The internet is the easiest way for commercial success by newbies. Example: uploading a stupid cat video that goes viral. That goes away without net neutrality rules that ensure that anyone who puts something on the internet has a fair shot at finding a "life-changing" audience.
## Speaker_0: ##
What example do you bring that can prove your idiotic view? A few examples of ISPs charging netflix for netflix's externalities? This isn't like food, where you eat a pistashio with some bacteria and not live to see tomorrow. This is a free market, where consumers can look at their options and choose between them, today, tomorrow, 5 years from now. If one ISP wants to charge you extra for Netflix, but another ISP can make greater profit by undercutting them, they will do so.
As I mentioned before, we've already seen this with the telecoms, and this happens regularly with land-lines as well. It just takes a bit of time.
Seriously, get this anti-free market bullshit out of WSB.
## Walls1337bot: ##
There is no competition or free market among the ISPs. Do your research, you sound ignorant as fuck.

Proof/screenshots and write-ups detailing the climb in previous posts:
[Original post: $2,000 to $64,000](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/8i3esy/started_w_2000_grew_it_to_64000_in_8_months/)
[First update: $2,000 to $200,000](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/8qkv93/from_2000_to_200000/)
In the past two months, my positions have gained to just over $400,000. I really wanted to wait until I hit half a million to make an update post, but I'm probably going to de-risk a lot (I think Q1 2019 will have a lot of catalysts, which is probably when I'll re-enter), so this will likely be the last update for a while:
- Winning positions were YELP, IAC, and AZO (basically the same positions I noted I was playing in the [fourth bullet of my previous comment](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/8qkv93/from_2000_to_200000/e0jxaso/)). KORS almost made me a ton of money, but came out to be a wash/small gain due to the June trade war bullshit. Lost about $50k on my shorter-term contracts, but made that back on my longer-term contracts in the past couple of days after earnings.
- As mentioned previously, I'm not too bullish on the overall market going forward. I'll have most of my risk off the table by the end of the month. I have small plays in NVDA and AMAT earnings, but not much else that's too compelling. I think the market might climb through the rest of the month, but with increased volatility, then stagnate through year-end. I think heightened trade war tensions might create short-term downside vol, but nothing sustaining (hence the stagnation through year end). I believe the real negative catalyst will be sustained effects of rising interest rates, which seems to have been forgotten or buried in the past few months. I'm hoping to load up on downside bets around EOY or early 2019.
- I'm guessing there's been a lot of discussion on TSLA around here, but I haven't read any of it, so here are my thoughts: TSLA will never go private. There's not a financier insane enough finance that deal. As a comparison, JWN (which is actually profitable) tried to go private last year, on Baa1 rating at about $9bn market cap, which required "only" a $2bn capital raise, WITH the backing of one of the most respected consumer/retail PE firms in the world, yet was unable to secure financing at an acceptable cost. Do you really think any bank is going to finance a $70bn mkt cap (at proposed $420 take-private price) Caa1 junk company that is burning through cash? It astounds me that TSLA would bounce so much on a random Musk tweet, which have been proven time and again to be nothing more than Elon's whims and fantasies, and severely out of touch with reality. This is further exacerbated by the fact that the existing bonds, currently trading well under par, have a CoC clause allowing bondholders to put the bonds at 101. The whole situation is such a circus. The only situation I see this potentially materializing is if SoftBank or one of the Saudi entities with too much cash to throw around decides to entertain the idea just for clout. Despite my pessimism, I hope it can stay bouyed for the next few months, because the combination of rising rates, maturing debt (Mar 19), inaccessibility to capital markets, and uncontrollable cash-burn will lead to the perfect storm of a very severe correction around the time I'm hoping the markets will turn aroud.
- To answer common questions that came up after my previous post: 1. My background is in IB, HF, and PE, with the majority of my experince in PE 2. I don't have any reading recommendations or suggestions on how to learn. Bascially everything I know about and all the tools I use when investing, I picked up on the job. 3. I don't have any thoughts on random XYZ ticker that you DM me. I have a very small universe of tickers that I keep apprised of, and those are the only tickers I know intimately well. 4. My style is a hybrid approach; screen for fundamentals, and monitor 'technicals' and potential catalysts for entries. I don't have much else to say on how/what I screen for, etc.

This is like saying "My background is in science, and everything I know about donut creation I learned while working at krispy kreme, so I can't help you make donuts."
Like wtf is that, easy enough to say "Use a pound of dough and 2 cups of kreme" or some shit. If you use certain tools and follow certain catalysts, naming the tools and giving examples of the catalysts is still a valuable explanation.
## Speaker_0: ##
Actually, no. That's like saying, "If a hundred people DM me asking me 'which cookbook is best to learn how to make donuts?', guess what? I've never read a fucking cook book in my life, so I have no idea." Last time I made a post, I got at least 25-30 DMs asking for reading recommendations.
I'm not going to write out a cook book on how I make donuts for each of the hundred PMs that I get. I already laid out my investment/thought process in my previous posts.
## Speaker_1: ##
I ain't lookin' for a cookbook, but the whole thing sounds more like you just want to keep your secret sauce secret. And I don't blame you.
But then just say "It'sasecret" not "I could not possibly explain how this works because I don't have a book to reference." I could explain to you how to turn bread into toast without having book ready to go.
## Walls1337bot: ##
There is no secret sauce. It's just industry experience and spotting inefficiencies in the market. There's no recipe. It's like asking a Micheline star chef to give you a recipe. They can do it, but it's not gonna help you
## Speaker_1: ##
I already had 10 other retards like you posting about how it's "impossible" to divulge information. I'll make sure to forward your letters to universities everywhere to inform them that explaining a basic process is impossible. No need for 10 more autists commenting the same thing. NEXT!

You know.... ol' George was at least really entertaining.
## Speaker_3: ##
Okay, I heard something about this quote that genuinely changed my view about him.
He knew exactly what he was about to say. It was an off-the-cuff remark that he started before he fully thought about it. He was about to make a soundbite of him saying "Shame on me." He noticed that halfway through the phrase and had to find a way to squiggle out of it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I've seen this posted almost everytime the quote comes up recently... yet I have NEVER seen the source for that explanation.
That really sounds like an after the fact type thing... Especially since it wasn't his only speaking gaffe.

Ah yes, the old 'controlling immigration is racist' argument. I read buzzfeed too.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Blocking the entry of people from a group of countries just because they're primarily Muslim, including people who already have visas or green cards, is a bit different from "controlling immigration".
And you can't even make the argument that it's to stop terrorism when only one of the countries blocked has a single tie to a domestic terror attack (which failed), and Saudi Arabia, the source of the 9/11 terrorists, wasn't on the list.

If you are purchasing options then yes, the worst case scenario is they expire 100pct worthless, but you wont lose more than that. If you sell options like some other dude said, you have unlimited loss potential.
If you're day trading though, ideally you'd pull out before that happens.
## Speaker_1: ##
Thanks. So such as buy call, buy put? Max loss is known?
## Speaker_0: ##
You should read about options before trading them. They're pretty dangerous and you're just pissing away money if you dont know what you're doing. Even if you DO know what you're doing its pissing away money a lot of the time.
## Speaker_1: ##
Thanks. I was thinking of betting $200, $500 max loss and going for much larger return... Will definitely read options and paper trading options first..
## Walls1337bot: ##
Don't listen to these guys. Yes it's known. It fucking tells you max loss when you place the order. Tuesday morning just buy a couple calls on SPY that expire Friday with a 50 cent higher strike price than it opens at. If you get up like 20-30 percent just sell it. If it goes down you lose your entire investment.
Let the fucking guy figure it out my friends. He doesn't need to read investopedia to lose money with us.
