## Speaker_0: ##
I don't think Apple will be going down anytime soon, and this might be a great buying opportunity. But you do have to admit though that Apple is an almost trillion-dollar company that hinges **entirely** on current fashion trends. The moment someone comes out with the next trendy new phone design that takes the world by storm (which is what Apple did under Steve Jobs), Apple's profits will plummet and will not be able to justify an 850B+ market cap. Companies like Google, Amazon, and Facebook effectively have no competition because the next best thing out there is crap. The next best thing out there compared to Apple is an objectively better phone in almost every way. The only thing Apple has going for it is that a large segment of the money-spending world sees the iPhone as a fashion and status symbol, so Apple gets away with huge profit margins.
I think that Apple is making its possible downfall even worse by spending the majority of their cash on share buybacks. When your entire company relies on what's hot in the fashion world, it would be better to spend your cash on trying to expand the way Steve Jobs did when he took the company in a new direction with the iPhone.
This fear, IMO, is entirely justified. New Apple, post Steve Jobs, has either only improved their current product (the iPhone), or come out with a flop (the Apple Watch). Apple needs to innovate and create something like the Apple Car or some shit because they can't keep relying on the iPhone staying popular.
## Speaker_1: ##
>The next best thing out there compared to Apple is an objectively better phone in almost every way.
Which phone would that be? And the same reasoning you're using to suggest Apple can disappear overnight can be applied to Facebook. Social media is even more volatile than consumer electronics.
## Speaker_0: ##
The newest Pixel and Galaxy phones are better than the iPhone X. I'm not an Apple hater. The iPhone is just lacking overall from the best phones out there.
>And the same reasoning you're using to suggest apple can disappear overnight can be applied to Facebook.
What I said was: "I don't think Apple will be going down anytime soon, and this might be a great buying opportunity."
The same reasoning can't be applied to Facebook because you can't get (over?) a third of the world's population on your platform in any reasonable amount of time. Facebook also owns the two next best platforms for social media and messaging (Instagram and Whatsapp). They have no competition and likely will never have competition because Facebook will buy out anyone with the potential to rise up with an impossible to deny deal, like they did with Whatsapp.
Is Apple aggressively buying out all of their competition whenever something shows even a hint of rising up to combat them?
## Speaker_2: ##
The only way I would switch to a Pixel or Galaxy is if they sold a $2500 phone at a $500 price. I'm way too entrenched in Apple's ecosystem for a "fashion trend" as a reason to switch.
Mac, Airpods, iPhone, iMessage, iCloud, etc.
No way I'm switching, unless their phone was an absolute beast of technology at dirt cheap prices.

I don't have a long position. I don't trust the SEC
## Speaker_4: ##
How come? They practically let Musk off for nothing last time, why would they punish him the next time he gets all fraudy?
## Speaker_2: ##
Because the multitrillion dollar fossil fuel industry is threatened by renewables, and their party controls all three branches. An 8 figure fine for a tweet is obscene, even if it's small compared to market cap. The SEC is like the DEA. The crimes they go after are victimless, so they'll make shit up if they have to.
## Walls1337bot: ##
A tweet that said he was taking Tesla private at 420 $ and funding was already secured . Maybe they just don't want CEO's normally running around saying stuff like that and ruin the integrity of their exchange where trillions of dollars are flowing through every day ..
## Speaker_2: ##
It’s autistic but shouldn’t be illegal
## Walls1337bot: ##
So the new norm should be companies tweeting fake deals , fake earnings , fake buyouts . Where is the line drawn ... Companies that do similar to what elon did usually end up on the OTC and get black listed for years . I'm pretty sure Elon can get over a 20 mln dollar fine and a "title" change ..

Would theta decay fuck you or would it just offset due to increase of IV during the earnings week?
Because I'm not sure if it matters if your yoloing calls/puts a week after earnings.
## Speaker_1: ##
Well if you buy your calls far enough out you won’t have to worry about theta decay as it is exponential. You would want to buy options soon to capture any earnings run up and increase in IV. If there’s enough hype you don’t even have to worry about earnings and can sell the day before.

How did prices tank right as the clock hit 2pm? Powell hadn't spoken yet and even if they released the data, wouldn't it take time for someone to actual read it before making a decision? Or did big players know in advance but had to wait until 2pm to not make it look suspicious?
## Speaker_1: ##
you know high-frequency-trading algorithms make more than 50% of all trading volume right now?
Those were bots
## Speaker_0: ##
80% actually and yes, bots, but someone had to program them to short the market at 2pm, right?
## Speaker_1: ##
I think 2:00 pm there was a document released before the press release, this happens before earnings releases as well and thats what the bots analyse.
Do you have a source for the 80%? I only have a source for 52% high frequency traders and im writing a paper on the topic currently so that would help me greatly.
My source: https://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/13/death-of-the-human-investor-just-10-percent-of-trading-is-regular-stock-picking-jpmorgan-estimates.html
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah. HFT bots will scan the releases for keywords and then go nuts on the button. I used to work in a fair-sized Trading Firm and we attempted it, but we weren't as fast as the real money.
Also means that changes in the wording/phrasing of releases can cause weird market fluctuations. There was a case last year with an Australian RBA Meeting where adding a random 'We think the long-term neutral rate should be 3%' made everybody shit themselves.

So I should wait a couple years to buy a house?
## Speaker_1: ##
Look, the trick is you join the Military and get a guaranteed low interest rate VA loan that you can essentially use infinitely forever.
Housing market on fire and this dude I knew back in 2008ish was buying up lots (literal like entire neighborhoods) of houses and shit. Dude has like 80 houses, VA loan bro
## Walls1337bot: ##
He did not finance 80 homes all through the VA home loan. Those are capped at 500k worth of mortgage dollars.
## Speaker_1: ##
He didnt buy all 80 at the same time, this isnt Detroit. He rented them out and used the money to pay off the other ones over time and accumulated the houses over like 2-3 years. Military base housings around post are cheap AF because of the transient nature of the job, so if you snatch up those quadplexes or whatever you can easily make ~4-5k a month per quad.
Plus, doesnt help that he was double retired as a SGM and from his civilian GS job.

## Speaker_1: ##
You laugh but I don’t think there *is* another way to play craps.
## Speaker_2: ##
Noone really knows how to play craps. You just roll the dice and judge the reaction of the dealer to work out what happened.
## Speaker_3: ##
My friend and I watched people play craps for 20 minutes. No idea how to play, so we lost our money at the roulette table instead.
## Speaker_4: ##
The best way to play is bet on the numbers on the back right, and bet the odds. I think 4 and 10 are 2:1 so bet 5. If you bet like a dollar and you win, the house takes a larger percentage.
If you literally bet on 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, and 10, and betting the correct amount, you're basically getting better odds than roulette. Everything else is for show on the board, the easier the bet they let you put it down is going to be worse for you, the better the bet is if you have to ask the house to place it for you.
Personally I just bet on 4 and 10 and press every time, they land on them, and then 5/6/8/9 I will press every other time.
## Speaker_5: ##
Actually the best bet is to place a bet on the Pass line. Once a number is established place the largest bet permissible behind the pass line for "Odds". This bet pays actual odds with no house advantage.
## Speaker_4: ##
IIRC there is always a house advantage of .5%.
It has been a while since I played (I am a recovering gambling addict) but the best you can get is like 49.5%.
From what I remember they use the pass line to get people comfortable with standing at the table, and that the payout was only like 35% chance to win. Sorry, I forgot the lingo, but the numbers on the back right are without a doubt the highest percentage payout.
## Speaker_6: ##
The odds bet (bet behind the pass line) is true odds. The only thing is you have to bet on the pass line on the come out roll (no point has been selected) in order to bet odds, and the pass line bet is a house edge. So basically, /u/cwise313 was correct: the best bet is to bet the pass line then as much $$$ on the odds bet, but the house will always have a (small) edge.
## Speaker_4: ##
I will check it out if I gamble again.

* 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.

At a P/E of north of 100, I can't see a situation in which a greater market bloodbath happens and they don't tank initially. It'll have nothing to do with the health of the company, and everything to do with market sentiment and fear.

The key is a lot of jitters was removed, not all but a significant amount given yesterday’s performance and the rocket fuel is now on the bulls side, not the bears and any hint of the red opening possibly turning green will drive the entire market to pop to 200-300+ for the DOW in an instant ala FOMO.
Again, just a guess.
## Speaker_1: ##
Dude, how can a 5% overall market up day remove jitters? That shit isn't healthy or sustainable
## Walls1337bot: ##
For a 5% up day to occur, it shows just the pure imbalance of big buyers vs lack sellers- an insight into the cumulative mentality of the entire market. If this was just any other day, I would say, no big deal. But when it comes AFTER 8 consecutive down days- you bet your butt every Tom dick and Harry was waiting for a strong sign that it is safe to get in. Yesterday was that sign. And given that we still have a lot to losses to recoup for the 4 weeks, I say momentum is on the bulls side. If it opens down 300, there will be buyers who have the fear of missing out yesterday. This selling has been overdone and everyone was looking for a reason to buy in.
Just my opinion

Hey chief I'm going to get real with you for a second here:
use this as a bit of a wake up call.
This whole scenario sucks, no doubt about it. Truth is, all of us on r/wallstreetbets are a bunch of idiots, and if we had any real solid stock tidbits, we sure as hell wouldn't throw them out for free to strangers on the internet.
The last three years are gone. Your time, and the money you saved during it will not be given back to you. Set those years aside as an 'era' of your life. It's over.
It sounds like above all else you don't like where you're at in life, so don't get comfortable in your misery. I know right now may seem like a good time to bunker down and resign yourself to working at Kung Fu-whatever-the-hell for the rest of your life, but instead use this as a drive.
You now know for a fact that you aren't going to stumble into money in your life, so set out tomorrow to begin changing things to how you want your life to be. Hate your job? Good. Use that hatred to fuel a rigorous job hunt into a position with real advancement.
See yourself three years in the future, and mark this as the 'era' where you got your s*** together.

Mr. Philosophy major over there suuuuuure likes his socialism.
## Speaker_1: ##
Icahn and Soros were philosophy majors. In reality it’s more the literature and art history types that are fervent socialists. Also that guy is not a particularly good philosopher (site says he wasn’t actually a philosophy major, I don’t know if he went to college)I looked at his comics and they misrepresent some important philosophers fundamental thought. No understanding of nuance.
(Yes I’m triggered)
## Speaker_2: ##
Soro's probably literally funds or helps funds antifa. Basically a bunch of communists that want to over throw our government system by a revolt.
## Speaker_1: ##
Doesn’t change the fact that he is a market legend and probably the greatest speculator of all time. If he hadn’t given so much to charity and reinvested funds all the way till now he would be richer than buffet.
Also he has written very critically of communism and thinks it’s basically equivalent to nazi fascism. (He lived under both).

6) China's Market
China's market is heavily influenced by the US market. The reason is because the Chinese have tons of money in it. China is the largest foreign holder of U.S. Treasury bills, bonds, and notes. China buys U.S. debt to support the value of the dollar. This is because China pegs its currency (the yuan) to the U.S. dollar. It devalues the currency when needed to keep its export prices competitive. Also note the China market is being held up by the Chinese government stimulus spending. That stimulus spending is slowly going away.
## Speaker_1: ##
China remains our biggest wildcard. I trust none of their data.
## Speaker_2: ##
I did too until I visited China. I don't trust any data on China coming from the West.

The money we'll get back by not spending billions on the burden that illegal immigrants cause taxpayers. I don't think it'll be a sure fix, but even if said wall cuts the costs by an underwhelming 40%... Given that illegal immigration costs us about 116 billion a year and the wall will cost about 22 billion (Let's just round it to 30 b to please the libtards), 40% would almost double the initial cost then the remainder years would cover the cost of maintenance several times over.
## Walls1337bot: ##
But the ones that are here aren’t going to vanish, and we’ll be out 30 billion dollars on a wall that’s ineffective at dealing with the issue. So we’ll still be spending $116bn a year to support those.
Why don’t we spend $5bn to come up with better immigration process and employment checks, and systems to go after employers who hire illegal immigrants?
Also, if you’re for pushing out all of the illegals, don’t bitch when nearly all food doubles or triples in price. Underpaid labor is the dirty secret to our cheap food.

People that "believe in bitcoin" more than trading it for YOLO gains are the true king autismos.
## Speaker_1: ##
I mean... it works. for now.
And when people say unregulated, you gotta understand that this also means the most esoteric regulations don't apply. Exchanges frontrun customers trying to make deposits and everything. Fast paced and crazy.
## Speaker_2: ##
Outside of being able to transfer money between people for free, the only thing Bitcoins does is being a really slow and inconvenient version of a credit card.
## Speaker_1: ##
Not a good use for it. Bitcoin the product is an abstraction, "coin" being the only reference point to something else that exists.
The network merely allows transferring cryptographic keys, which are limited in quantity. The network won't allow transferring keys that are outside of the quantity parameters. Thats the only innovation (getting computers to agree on the limited quantity of a file, even if they copied it. but not having to trust one computer to only say there are limited quantities of the file). Along with that, you can include additional metadata, so you can designate certain keys as representing other non-currency objects (titles, gold, etc).
What people have been doing for years is issuing securities. I made most of my bitcoin from investing in a company in Gangzhou, China (it's shares were denominated in bitcoin, I sold those shares for a greater amount of bitcoin in the future, after collecting very large bitcoin dividends). Unregulated security in both China and the US. My brokerage infrastructure as a US citizen didn't and won't have this capability for many years. I didn't need to put $10,000 in Interactive Brokers for a convoluted way to access select emerging markets for high monthly fees.
This simply works whether bitcoin trades for $400, or for $1. Whether some people convince people to buy coffee with it or not.
The same as in 2012, there are people that are still debating what bitcoin is, and there are people that are using it. The reason I don't use bitcoin in 2016 is because there are still no standardized options contracts trading.
## Walls1337bot: ##

Good trade
never get married to a position. what platform did you use to short?
## Walls1337bot: ##
That was OK, you were in early. You held an unreasonably long time though.
I remember people swearing up and down that 4 BTC per share wasn't enough and it was going to the moon and blah blah blah. There was no way you could make the math work for 5 BTC/share without AM controlling 50%+ of the network hashrate. Easiest money I ever made.
Part of me misses that ecosystem, because when you start with a market where most of the participants are already irrational, it's pretty damn easy to outsmart the market.

You know how those motivational entrepreneur types on youtube are always yelling about TAKING ACTION, JUST DO STUFF, AND EMBRACING FAILURE?
I literally think of this guy every time I hear that line.
## Walls1337bot: ##
People forget that guys like Elon Musk came from enough money that failure just means another loan from bank of dad
## Speaker_1: ##
In his interview I recall he said his dad gave him nothing. Any specific reason/evidence to make you think he was lying?
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's obviously untrue, as he grew up very well off.
Your parents don't have to give you Donald Trump type loans to have family wealth that can insulate you (read provide a safety net) from failure.
## Speaker_1: ##
Growing up in money is a fair point, but I was specifically referring to the idea his dad would save him if he failed.
Do you have any reason to think his dad would bail him out if he failed? He said his father was abusive.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I mean, I'm almost certain Trump's was too. And an abusive father is more likely to give a bailout as a manipulative tool than just let his son be homeless, esp in South Africa.

Joe Lewis, 80, was born above a pub in Bow, London, and left school aged 15 to help his family build up a catering firm, which they sold in 1979.
He used the money to become a currency trader, which was how he earned his current extraordinary wealth of around £4billion.
UPDATE: When i walked past it and took this picture this morning he had classical music blasting from the ship like mega loud. I would say fag but maybe not. I would have loved to see what speakers he got on there.
## Speaker_0: ##
"After selling the family business in the late 1970s, Lewis moved into currency trading in the 1980s and 1990s, resulting in his move to the Bahamas where he is now a tax exile.[4] In September 1992, Lewis teamed up with George Soros to bet on the pound crashing out of the European Exchange Rate Mechanism. The event, which was dubbed Black Wednesday, made Lewis very wealthy, and some say he made more than Soros.[5][6] Lewis is still an active FX trader."
What an amazing contribution to society this person has made. I will gladly view him from my cell in debt prison, as he desperately tries anything he can to stay alive forever and enjoy his money that he deserves and earned.

Maybe it's due to lack of education? I wonder if that's why so many from this previous generation lack empathy. However, how does that explain people like Bill Gates who also owns a massive yacht?
Then I see that people like Andy Hall went completely out of business by attempting to trade on fundamentals, which used to work when there was a real market and he was known as the "Oil God.", but now that crude is traded primarily on the ICE market, who the hell knows what the "true" price of oil is.
Maybe that will be the "catalyst." Tell people that Saudi is out of oil, resulting in an oil shock, which then gives them a reason to turn the machines off. (They are by the way. Look at the Wikileaks report from 2014. Why you think their IPO didn't go through?)
I suspect it will result in a panic when people find out what's really going on with that industry.
Regardless, my point is, everything is manipulated. I don't believe these people are not somehow culpable.
This was all orchestrated. QE ending. Interest rates rising. Oil prices manipulated upward. Warren Buffett sitting on $116B of cash.
Take a look at the Bloomberg SMART money index. The game right now is, use stock buy-backs to juice the price while institutional investors are selling at the end of the day. Look at the divergence.
This entire thing was a set up. Wouldn't shed a tear if they drug Joe Lewis's old ass from that boat.

Robinhood is a free trading app that lets any moron get online and lose all their money.

So basically it was his mom was having a break down over the fact he's fucking retarded with his money. Welcome to r/wallstreetbets
## Speaker_2: ##
Is it generally frowned upon to use Robinhood or is it just that the majority of people who are using it have no idea what the fuck they are doing?
## Walls1337bot: ##
The second one, it's not an awful platform considering it's completely free, but prices are slow to update and it doesn't provide a ton of technical data other brokers will give you.
It's okay to play around with, like pocket change shit.
## Speaker_3: ##
Or alternatively, if your definition of "investing short-term" is "will probably sell approximately a year and a day after buying, so you can still get the long-term tax treatment", then it doesn't really matter so much if prices are slow to update, and you can get technical data up the wazoo any number of other places for free anyway.

Sincerely,
The guy with his life's savings in TSLA J20 400 Call options
I don't even know what to do anymore with investing. I had a system in place. Sell TSLA when it hits the upper bollinger band and buy TSLA when it hits the lower, and it was just about at the point where I should sell, too. The stock pops and craters 4-6 times a year pretty reliably. Now what do I do? Randomly put my money in a ridiculously huge company and hope that they continue to be even more ridiculously huge? That's a pretty stupid way to invest.
I'm sorry future daughter and maybe son/wife, just another thing I can't buy for you because I didn't make enough money before you were born.
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm very confused
1) You're going to have a daughter but only maybe a son/wife. So you're gonna solo adopt some Ugandan baby girl real soon or something?
2) You have $400 calls and somehow today's events made you lose money? I V C R U S H on strikes near the take private price?
## Speaker_0: ##
No kid in the works yet. I'm just at the age where I want a family, so I work it into my humor.
And if a stock is going to 420, that means a 400 call option will go to 20, since 420-400 = 20. That means my call option worth 58/each this morning, which later jumped to 70, gets panic sold at 51. It'll eventually sink down to 20, all the while the normal SP continues to climb.
## Speaker_2: ##
That’s actually fucking crazy.

Tesla is looking good. 5k/wk model 3 is a certainty, at that rate they are profitable. The model 3 is a fantastic car whith the largest demand seen in any car for a long time.
There is no problem with production.
There is no problem with demand.
There is no problem with quality.
And all their products in development are revolutionary.
And guess what. I work in oil industry, my livelihood depends on it. But as an engineer I see the power of a battery under $100/kW that has 10,000 cycle life.
## Speaker_1: ##
>Tesla is looking good. 5k/wk model 3 is a certainty, at that rate they are profitable. The model 3 is a fantastic car whith the largest demand seen in any car for a long time.
I don’t think hitting 5k was the concern. It’s “can quality be maintained at this level” that I’m more concerned with.
>There is no problem with production.
You can bank critical parts to maintain production for a few weeks (or months if you have enough space/money), let’s see what production volume looks like in 6 months.
Also the talk Tesla has about their competitors not using ground breaking production tech isn’t true. Much of what is said about Tesla’s production line goals are in place in many plants around the world, especially in makes above the $40k price point.
>There is no problem with demand.
Quite true.
>There is no problem with quality.
People I’ve worked with in the industry (I’m in auto myself) have said Tesla quality is on par with vehicles at the same price point. I don’t care about delivered quality, that’s a bare minimum. I want to see Tesla go without a recall for a few years and not have massive warranty issues due to poor warranty. Time will tell.
I’m certainly not short Tesla but I think people need to be a bit more objective when they talk about this company.
## Speaker_2: ##
> There is no problem with demand.
>
> Quite true.
Yes, there is plenty of demand for a 35K car, but what about a 75K one? Tesla can't make a $35K car and survive right now.
## Speaker_3: ##
Maybe if you looked at model S sales you wouldn't have to ask stupid questions. Maybe if you understood the demand for the model 3 performance model you wouldn't be asking stupid questions. Tesla is overvalued, but it's not gonna suddenly die
## Walls1337bot: ##
He was right and you are wrong. Instead of name calling why don't you answer his argument? M3 demand is like a pyramid, lots of demand on the bottom for the base car, not so much on the top. Once they fulfill the top demand, they have to make cheaper aka profitless cars. between a hard place and a rock...

Trump has backed out of a non binding agreement that would show the world and Congress that he wants to move towards green energy and reduce pollution.

World leaders will react to look good for their constituents, we will all lose money, it may not be immediate but it will happen in the long term, what Trump is doing is a temporary solution for temporary benefits to a long term problem.
Also what kind of loser needs to go through someone's post history to feel validated.

Ah shit dog. nobody told me that you can predict the future. Can i give you my money to manage?
## Speaker_1: ##
Laugh all you want, I'll be the one laughing when you have to watch your stocks take a bit in a few months.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm not laughing, just profiting. If things go the way you predict, hopefully I'll be there in time to short the shit out of some things. I don't care. I care about my wallet.

How many people got banned for asking for a private invite?
## Speaker_1: ##
A lot of people.
## Speaker_2: ##
People get banned for asking for an invite?
## Speaker_1: ##
For some reason reddit has a piece of text saying "go fucking badger the moderators as if asking will get you access to the empty sub for the 10 or so hours that it's down" that we can't remove so we put a piece of text that says "DON'T CONTACT THE MODS OR YOU WILL BE BANNED" in the description along with the discord link and despite that we regularly get hundreds of messages asking to be included in super secret WSB illuminati fun time.
It's a temp ban, but it's a ban.

Thanks bud, what are you doing in this current market?
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah I’m clueless what to do on my long positions mostly. Holding some cash in my 401k and not sure when to buy back in to try to make up the money I’ve lost in AAPL, and whether to buy financials and utilities or just do something more like an index/ETF to temper any specific company’s losses. Less potential gain but with this economy, less potential loss as well.
## Speaker_2: ##
AAPL is still a good buy if you are long term. Unlike most of the other tech, their financials are fantastic and they'll weather the Trump/China storm.
## Speaker_1: ##
Thanks. Yeah it’s not that really tho, it’s the massive amount of AAPL I’m holding and seeing my 401k rollover tank more and more daily. I know it’ll bounce eventually, just painful to watch. Actually making me feel super stressed. Just wish this was a correction like earlier this year and we could bottom out so I could dump my 110k cash back in and make up some losses. I really don’t know how to play a slowing of the market. I bought my AAPL back in 2006/2007. I rode that rollercoaster once, and I really have no choice but to ride it again at this point. So much scarier this time being that much closer to retirement and knowing if I buy back in at the wrong time or choose the wrong stuff, I’ll lose more. Ugh.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Wait, you've gone through the 2008 crash and you're stressed now?
How close to retirement are you?

What is pinning exactly? Any big hands are doing this??
## Speaker_1: ##
It when market makers and big players try to keep the price pinned around a heavily traded strike price near expiry.
## Speaker_0: ##
What benefits do MMs and big players get from this?
## Speaker_2: ##
According to the conspiracy theory, options expire worthless so writers keep the full premium. Goldman Sachs will pin the market to fuck everyone who bought options.
## Speaker_3: ##
But for how long can they keep this up?
## Speaker_4: ##
They'll let it jump Monday until earnings writing expensive calls and then tank it post earnings so they expire worthless

Would this not be considered market manipulation?

You just need a couple screens in front of you and a good stock screener. It's pretty easy to know when a stock is gonna pop. Volume, etc.

Just get a couple of screens in front of you and the rest just comes with it.

You forgot volume etc bro

Federal prisons are different than state prisons. In state prisons you can get good time and parole and do about half your sentence. Federal prisons you have to serve 90 percent of your sentence. But Martin will definitely do time at a posh facility. He might even be in the same dorm as Bernie maddof
## Speaker_3: ##
His bail was remanded. The prosecution is saying he poses a danger to society. There's a decent chance he won't be in club fed.

Some people don't sell off their stocks.
Companies are want to please them more than they want to please us, when we are going to be gone tomorrow.
## Speaker_1: ##
Even if you keep the stock, the decreased value counteracts the dividend paid, so what’s the point?
## Speaker_2: ##
That’s why people buy blue chip stocks for dividends. Because they know in the long run the stock will be fine. It might go up and down in the short term, but the dividend is guaranteed and you know the stock is gonna grow.
## Speaker_1: ##
Well sure it will grow, but each dividend paid decreases growth by the exact amount that was paid, so in the end, dividends paid equal value lost. Right? I mean if there was never a dividend paid then the value would be that much higher over the years right?
