This is it for me guys, I don't know how I'm getting myself out of this one. ATVI destroyed me. I am fucked beyond belief.
## Speaker_1: ##
How fucked? Like using your savings fucked?
## Speaker_0: ##
Yep
## Speaker_2: ##
Damn bro sorry. Getting destroyed too but whats your expiry?
I hope you hold Feb or further (you prob dont).
## Speaker_0: ##
Definitely lost $22,000 on weeklies, but I also have 4550 shares on margin so you can calculate the losses, it's a lot. I probably have to move all of my bank account into my trading account to cover, and pray to Christ that it recovers by next quarter.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Can you cover margin and hold those shares? Everyone got ass blasted by options, mostly you it seems, but I'm absolutely certain the shares will be up a fuckton by this time next year
## Speaker_0: ##
I could but I don't know if I can live a year like that. I have to figure out what my options are here. Either I close all my positions, take the massive hit and move on with my life, or I keep holding ATVI on margin and pay $30 a day for however long it takes. I'm losing out on so much sleep and my life quality has decreased by magnitudes from bagholding though and I don't know if I want to keep going like this. I haven't seen bagholding pay off so idk why it would pay off if I keep doing it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
That's not a bad point, it might be better for you to just wash your hands of the whole thing and just move forward
Either way, take care of yourself bro, you took a big risk and even though it didn't work out, that's more badass and respectable than most boring ass peeps will ever be, in my opinion. Just gotta do the normal boring shit for a while now, is all.

And coke. Seriously, I wonder why coke and pepsi were resilient. I suppose it could be coincidence but both were in the green and people are not very bullish on KO. And there was no news for them AFAIK. I guess just the solid dividend?
## Speaker_2: ##
coke sells a product that's almost as addictive as cigarettes for half the price (one can vs one cigarette). and yeah, they're a strong defensive stock, like a utility except instead of piping gas into your house they pipe that sweet carbonated pleasure juice into your mouth. are they actually a good long-term hold? who knows, but they have the reputation for sure.

## Speaker_1: ##
Why don't you buy in phases?
## Walls1337bot: ##
What are some good strategies for buying in phases? Asking for the sub.
## Speaker_1: ##
One way is to try to time the bottom using your favorite indicator (RSI oversold, MACD bearish cross, etc) with a small position. 9/10 you'll be wrong on the bottom, so when the price pulls to your original level average down. Do this until your position size is where you want it.
Another way, if you think it will just lift off, buy your opening small position right off the bat at the bell. Then as the price pulls back, add on the dips, even if it doesn't pull all the way back to your original purchase price.

What's the problem? When the they figure out they can't send the paper back for the same things, then we have a serious problem. That problem will result in you kids being drafted into the military.

## Speaker_1: ##
Need more backstory dawg
## Speaker_0: ##
I was working a security job right around the time the US went into Afghanistan. One of my coworkers had a husband who was over there.
One Friday night, there’s five or six of us in the security office shooting the shit. She tells me we should go get a beer after work. I say no, that I have to pick up my dog, etc. Hint not received. She keeps asking, I keep saying no, including finally saying she’s married to a deployed soldier and I didn’t think that was right. She still didn’t take it as a no.
I finally barked back “No! I’m not interested, so stop asking!!!”
She came in the next day and told the site supervisor that I had pinned her against a wall and saying we needed to get a drink after work and go fuck.
Thankfully between video cameras and coworkers who saw the discussion go down, they knew she was full of shit, but I was suspended while it was going on, and then go to our district office to kiss the ring for even getting in that position in the first place.
Years later they started calling and asking me to come back, so I agreed. I still had to interview as part of EEOE/AA bullshit, and that was the very first thing they asked me about.

I’m not going to hate on you because honestly when I first saw the chart, I thought the same thing... but I’ve also seen this happen more than a few times, working where I work.
He bought TSLA call options OTM @ 400 strike price.
Musk then tweets that he will consider/is taking TSLA private @ 420/share, funding is ‘secured’.
Guess what? There’s now a little bit of certainty in TSLA pricing giving options volatility going down, thus IV crush.
Thus, the pricing for his OTM TSLA 400C’s get fucked and he gets no tendies, and in fact, loses tendies.

Let’s see if it turns out [any better than the last one](http://edition.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/asiapcf/09/19/korea.north.text/). I don’t think anyone should trust NK to stick to this after they’ve consistently reneged on the past “joint communications” they’ve signed.
Actually who cares as long as my MU calls go up.
## Speaker_0: ##
Theyve never met in person before. Any of them. This time is literally different as it is a signed document between the two leaders, in public, and in the same room seen shaking hands
## Walls1337bot: ##
That doesn’t mean anything until NK backs it up with action. This is a country whose leader has been involved in executions of family members, purges, widespread human rights abuses, etc. His word means nothing.

He literally signed it in person. That's never been done before

NOTE TO ALL WSBERS: **If I make at least $1,000,000 USD in profits from that trade, I will send a can of maple syrup OR homemade maple sugar (your call) to everyone on WSB for ABSOLUTELY FREE.**
My uncle (another one) has an érablière and the season is starting in a few weeks. We're gonna have plenty of it and with the maple syrup cartel in quebec (no jokes), we always have more than we are allowed to sell.
My offer includes the shipping as well. We need AAPL below $105 by February 17th, 2017. I think it's easily achievable.
## Speaker_1: ##
$1 million profit, 100,000 people on WSB, $10/can.
This is why you lost $2.5 million.

I get cans for under a buck and I'm hoping not everyone on WSB asks for it. Don't think I'll get more than 5,000 people signing up and giving their address and going through all that (but if I do get more, I'll ship more). My main concern is the time to ship all that but you can actually ship the can just like that, without wrapping. Just print a label at home and put it there. Hopefully I get a group discount.

## Speaker_4: ##
Donald Trump has not declared bankruptcy. Some of his businesses have; that's like a lot of the point of starting an LLC to hold your real estate ventures.

Why the fuck would you not hedge your calls so this exact thing doesn't happen. The fuck is wrong with people

??? Who the fuck delta hedges a weekly call? You're just gonna end up bleeding money
## Speaker_0: ##
I never trade options, but I'm assuming you could reduce your risk, even with weekly options?
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah it reduces risk but delta hedging is more commonly used to isolate volatility and time value, eliminating the intrinsic value risk. Delta hedging a weekly call would eliminate price risk, but theta is super super high, so you would lose all not intrinsic value option premium. If you thought vol was gonna jack up, it might be worth it, but when you buy into earnings, vol is already super jacked. Delta hedging is best used when theta is low and you have a view on vol, e.g. you want to be long gamma

Pumped and Dumped on our face
## Speaker_1: ##
Serious advice time:
If WSB is going crazy over a stock, it's being pumped and dumped. If you see it go up 4% in a single day, wait at least a week (prob 2) or gamble with options, usually puts that expire in 3-4 weeks, down 15-30% from current price. You'll make money. Maybe 10%, maybe 100%. Who knows.
If you want to play the rise, generally WSB has a week or at least 2 days before it starts plummeting.
If you want to take a long position (over 3 mo is considered long by WSB), actually google the fucking thing.
## Walls1337bot: ##
its not even wsb pumping this.
my pops told me his broker has been calling like crazy about iq since $20. he usually only calls once or twice about a stock but has mentioned it 4 or 5 times he says.

Doesn't take too long to put in an order. I'd wager most people here are not considered day traders, if only due to the needed minimum of 25k
## Speaker_1: ##
What working adult doesn't have $25k? I was always under the impression people complaining about PDT on here are teens/students/recent grads; anyone who's been in the workforce a few years should have easily saved up $25k.
## Speaker_2: ##
I don't. I had almost 15k saved when I was 30 but then my wife died. I'm 33 now and am nowhere close to that.
Also, though, why would anyone normally have 25k in savings? Its my understanding that you only want enough in savings to cover 3-6 months of expenses. Beyond that, fund retirement, personal IRA, then invest in stocks.
## Speaker_1: ##
By "savings", I didn't mean sitting in a savings account — I was referring to excess assets that one could use for whatever purposes, whether it's investing in a house, stocks, whatever asset class one fancies. I divert all my excess cash into a linked brokerage account that I play with (after contributing to retirement, etc.), but its still excess net worth that I don't rely on for day-to-day expenses.
## Speaker_3: ##
Most of my nest egg is in a 401k because I don't want to yolo on FDs with the money I'll need when I'm retired

## Speaker_4: ##
Then you rich nigga
## Speaker_1: ##
Hardly... when you take out the 28%, I net just under 6-figures pre-tax. That's a good salary, but hardly "rich". It's a comfortable middle-class salary, also taking into account I live in a high living-expense area.

Deflation realization is about to set in in a big way and the market has not priced it in even close. August was just a warm up for the first act and the main event will make 2008 look like picnic.
-
We have reached peak credit and the money supply "globally" is contracting for the first time ever.
-
China is the epicenter of the great contraction that's taking place as its massive 30 trillion debt stimulus is crashing and taking their stock market, emerging markets, their currencies (racing to devalue to offset the deflation) and commodities with it. The collapse in oil is taking out the energy sector across all countries and their GDP with it (The US Shale industry is dead). Venezuela was the first to drop and is already into hyper inflationary territory as they trash their currency in a last ditch effort to stave of deflation. Brazil isnt to far behind now in full blown depression and Argentina is a close 3rd nearly missing a bond paying last year followed by Australia, Canada and Russia. All commodity exporting nations are being devastated by the collapse in prices and its only a matter of time until they use up there sovereign wealth funds, miss a bond payment or hyperinflate. Junk bond yields (risky bonds) are skyrocketing (this is smart money telling you something is very wrong). Bond funds are already experiencing massive outflows to an extent that has already forced 5-6 major bond company's to gate their investors from withdrawing funds as they seek to close down and shut the funds. This leads to less available capital and a when a large enough company/sovereign misses a bond payment because they can't get a another loan to roll it over that whole shit show gets started with Credit swaps exploding taking the derivative market with it (think AIG 2008). Not to mention The US Baltic Dry index (how most of this stuff is shipped) is the lowest its been since records began and transports are collapsing which means the economy is stalling and companies aren't buying product to fill there shelves as they have a massive inventory build up from a stalling US consumer that's up there necks in debt, are unemployed, underemployed or just not counted. We have the lowest labor participation rate since the 70's and its still dropping. The US has to run a deficit of over a trillion a year just to keep the lights on. Obamacare is in second year of extracting wealth from the last few people that have any. The consumer is now tapped and as a result company earnings were awful last quarter (despite the few winners that goosed the market) and will be awful again this quarter. Companies have already announced over a hundred thousand of expected layoffs this year due to slowing growth. All of these deflationary signs and the Fed still decided to raise rates making money more expensive which only exacerbates the issue of credit(money supply) contraction.
I could go on and with just that being said a 15% correction between now and march is almost a sure thing not counting for some Fed machination to levitate the market. Trust me when I say 15% is tiny in compassion to where i think the market will be by the end of this year. 15% is just the first act of things to come.

All of the above + more. But you need to have the counterparty set up manually because you are trading directly with a broker or Investment Bank. Aka no middleman so overall less fees to you and more commission fees for the guy on the other end.
But some times it's a pain in the ass because if you are trading equities, you can just place an order on RH, etrade, fedility, etc. But on Bloomberg you have see the live price and either
1. call up the counterparty (if like to build a relationship to help them get business for you) and tell them "Can I place a limit or market on 50,000 VRX?"
2. Send them a chat message: "Put me in for 50,000 VRX shares @ market, thx." -- which I find easier IMHO than any platfrom.
And then they will reply. And send you a trade confirmation that the back office deals with. And Bloomberg handles the trade ticket information and you allocate to whatever portfolio (immediately if you want be ethical) you wanted for.

Everyone here thinks you're retarded, which is why this might actually be a good move. If MU were to have a moderate jump, you could profit even if still really far OTM. If you have 44 days left on this option, that means that if the price goes above your implied increase of $0.69 per day, oh god you're fucked.
## Speaker_1: ##
Can you elaborate on the implied increase of $0.69 per day? What does that mean and how did you get that number?
## Speaker_0: ##
I should preface this by saying that everything I say below is probably wrong. But, if you're buying a stock OTM, you are essentially paying for a prediction that a stock will climb above this price by that day.
Let's say that I am buying a call on a stock trading at $100 with a strike of $150 for $5 per contract expiring 5 trading days from now. If the stock is trading at $110 the next day, the option should still be worth $5, since my prediction is slowly becoming true.
If the stock is trading at $115 on that second day, the option would presumably be worth more than I paid for it, since my prediction is coming true faster than the expiry is approaching.
Doing some quick back of the envelope math, I calculated that the $31 you need the stock to go up over 44 days would work out to the stock needing to go up just over $0.69 every day for your prediction to come true. I'm using the current price as the basis for my "math", so I guess you could increase my numbers by 50% to get a rough idea with your buy in price.
So using your options, if MU were trading at $61 tomorrow, you could likely sell for a profit. This should hold true even if it dips and then trades at $62 Thursday, or $63 on Friday. If it goes above that, you might even make some money.
I'm also (incorrectly) assuming linear decay of your option, when it is actually an accelerating decay. You should check out http://optionsprofitcalculator.com to get a good idea of what your option will be worth each day at a given stock price.
## Speaker_1: ##
Thanks for the thorough breakdown. My plan was just to cash out as soon as MU gets a pop even if it doesn't reach 90$. However, first time trading options and I didn't realize how big of an issue liquidity is with super OTM options. Now I know how fucked I am.

Depends where it opens tomorrow. If we're pushing 60+ I'd wait for a pullback, it's almost inevitable. If we open 57-58 I'd do a quick yolo.
## Speaker_1: ##
Sounds like a good idea. Should I go for 65 dollar strike or is that a bit too high
## Speaker_2: ##
What expiration...if you mean this week, OF COURSE IT'S TOO HIGH.
If you mean long term, it might pay off. But there's always profit taking with $MU, this week will be no exception. If you want to do FDs and think that $MU still has room to run this week, I'd go for $55-$56 strike.
If you want long term, I'd take a look at July 20th $55 & $60 calls - and probably sell them before earnings at the end of June. Holding calls through earnings on $MU has been a sure way to lose money.
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm looking for long term calls. Checking out the August or July ones. Never did anything with micron before so not sure how profit taking occurs so kinda worried about that
## Speaker_3: ##
Funnily enough, you may well be better off running late June calls (either June 22 or June 29) than going for those calls. Since you've never done anything with Micron, here's generally how their quarters go:
Phase 1 (Immediately after ER) - MU tanks despite a great ER and good guidance due to profit taking and concerns about "MeMoRY iS CyCLiCaL". This phase usually lasts for about a week or so after ER.
Phase 2 (1 week after ER) - MU stagnates for a couple weeks, with minor crests and troughs interwoven throughout the period. No major gains or losses typically occur in this phase.
Phase 3 (roughly halfway between the prior ER and the upcoming ER - you are here) - Done with being an infuriating, stagnant piece of shit, MU starts to a major run-up towards earnings as people realize that a massively profitable company trading at a 3 PE ratio is an absolute joke and start to buy it up. This run-up will continue right up until earnings, at which point the cycle will begin anew.
Given that ER is in late June (think it's the 26th but I could easily be wrong on that), I think we see a pretty major run-up to earnings over the next month or so. With that being the case, you'll get a greater return on the earlier expiration date. Furthermore, if you get them so that they expire before earnings, you won't be tempted to hold those options through earnings just to be massively disappointed as MU does its quarterly expedition to Mariana's Trench.

PS: Seeing the RES tag I once made for you Texas_Rangers, a simple question of why Trump fans tend to usually be very wrong when it comes to hard data points.
"Following the stock market crash, a group of 33 eminent economists from various nations met in Washington, D.C. in December 1987, and collectively predicted that "the next few years could be the most troubled since the 1930s".[10] However, the economy was barely affected and growth actually increased throughout 1987 and 1988, with the DJIA regaining its pre-crash closing high of 2,722 points in early 1989."
So the real and correct answer to the question asked was about 1.5 years - NOT the "next day"
## Speaker_2: ##

I can't possibly imagine that his personality would endear him to them, but I am really curious how this turns out.

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

I'm not making six figures now, but I have figured out ways to push myself above 50k a year by sitting at home doing things on my computer while drinking coffee and listening to podcasts. So it's all relative of course. Everyone has their own path and I think the true battle is figuring out what works best for you.

Obama dropped $500M dollars through the DoE into American solar development company [Solyndra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solyndra) then watched China dump panels into our market until they went out of business.

## Speaker_0: ##

## Speaker_2: ##
Poor people don't buy solar panels anyways. Solar panels aren't a necessity, they are a niche to make smug people feel better about themselves.
## Speaker_3: ##
Nah, over a 20-30 year expected lifespan, solar panels pay for themselves 3-5x over. It just requires big chunk of change to get them up front.
That’s why rich people keep getting richer, they can afford to invest in the long term. Opposite is true for poor people and using things like payday lenders that literally cost 200% annualized interest.
## Walls1337bot: ##

So you mean to tell me that when your stock free falls from $70 to $10 in a week and then skyrockets back up another 150% in 2 days while your company is under a SEC investigation they find that behaviour suspicious? Fascinating.

## Speaker_0: ##
Thanks for that. God forbid retail investor morons were buying this shit as shorts were being squeezed out. I don't give a fuck if some scumbags lose their shirts, it's when honest people start to feel the burn that it's seriously disheartening.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I snapped up about a grand worth of calls hoping to ride the momentum up.
That's in the face of my short position though, which is worth about 30 times that if this fucker goes to zero.
## Speaker_0: ##
Yeah I think you mentioned that yesterday when it was sitting around $15 or maybe that was someone else. Either way your hedge paid off nicely and of course this shit is going to 0. If the premiums weren't so egregious I'd have probably bought a few. Should have jumped in when it was still in the $60s lol.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Nope. I bought them about 20 minutes before the stop.
Lol.
Whatever, my overall position is bigly short, so I'll be ok.

I'm still stuck on why he would bother to type that shit into his phone and blast it out to the world. Dude is 73, how is he that immature?
## Walls1337bot: ##
now imagine if someone like that would become a president
## Speaker_1: ##
He actually said he was going to run - what happened?

another guy got the gig, and he's doing a tremendous job

## Speaker_1: ##

Getting out amd once and for all. Seems like a nice company but man can I not time this shit properly. So if history repeats itself, that means the rest of you should get in and make some gains.
## Speaker_1: ##
This is probably the worst time to sell.
## Speaker_0: ##
Why
## Speaker_2: ##
Earnings just around the corner
## Walls1337bot: ##
Or maybe the best time to sell...

I bought a $150 FB call yesterday and made more money than you did with your $11k. Chortle my salty balls
## Walls1337bot: ##
I dont have options yet and my gains are still rolling in. Fuck off
## Speaker_0: ##
You have 71 shares. The single option I bought controls 100 shares. My gains will always be greater than yours my silly little friendo
Now delete this post, go over to tastytrade and lie your ass off, you'll get options before the end of next week, then come back with 11k in FB calls

BUTTTTT BUTTTTT TRUMP IS HITLER AND IS SUPPOSED TO BE CRASHING THE ECONOMY /s
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you think the Dow is an indicator of the strength of the economy you're almost as retarded as the people calling Trump Hitler.
## Speaker_1: ##
....here we go
## Walls1337bot: ##
Here we go where? It's a price weighted index. It's a slightly better indicator of overall economic performance than tea leaves.
## Speaker_1: ##
no no, you're right....DOW 2100 is TERRIBLE for the economy
## Walls1337bot: ##
Not what I said, I said its a shit indicator of economic performance, and it was never meant to be one.
The Dow only tracks 30 stocks, so right off the bat it's a tiny sample size. But they're all massive companies so maybe you could get around that- if it wasn't price weighted.
A 1% move in Goldman affects the Dow way more than a 1% move in GE, simply because Goldman lets their shares trade much higher than GE. It completely discounts the fact that GE has 4 times the revenue or over double the market cap.
The Dow is an indicator of the aggregate performance of 30 companies' share prices, and nothing more.

is he pretty much telling people to sell?
## Speaker_1: ##
Yep. Nothing says "winning" like watching global growth grind to a halt and watching chaos and misery unfold around you.
## Speaker_2: ##
If the US holds at 3+% growth and 4% unemployment then yes that is winning.
Where is else all the money gonna go?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I'm glad the US doesn't rely on any outside trade at all and that we source 100% of all resources and goods from within our borders.
## Speaker_2: ##
Well since the rest of the world is shutting the bed, foreign supplies for us consumers and manufacturers will be cheaper since we are the only buyer and demand is down.
## Walls1337bot: ##
no.
## Speaker_2: ##
If you had a reason you would have given it. No reason is a clear tell that you are experiencing cognitive dissonance.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I think you are mistaken. I just don't feel like going over all the ways you are wrong, then trying to educate you, just so you can go "nah because [insert stupid reason]". Telling someone they are wrong online then backing it up with facts and figures just to have them do everything they can to avoid admitting they were wrong is exhausting.
Instead I'll just shrug you off with a "no", and leave it at that; then let the downvotes do the talking. Maybe, maybe if you have even a shred of introspection you'll think "I could be wrong" and then teach yourself something.
## Speaker_2: ##
You typed an awful lot there for the answer to be “too lazy for reasons”
Cognitive dissonance looking even more
likely after this reply.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I think you are mistaking my reasons for not wanting to educate you. More over you are using the term "cognitive disonance" entirely wrong.
Ya know what, fuck it. You are quite obviously ignorant and talking out of your ass because you feel like someone is being critical of daddy tariff man. idk why but for some reason instead of posting "owange man bahd!" and moving on with your day you decided to post bullshit on a board full of autists who, unlike you, actually know a thing or two. So tell ya what, listen here dummy:
The United States, as much as you might want it to be, does not exist in a bubble. The US economy, whether you like it or not, is part of and affected by the global economy (I bet that notion sends soros shaped shudders down your spine). When a large player like china or the UK up-ends, it affects *everyone*. Prices on exports don't go DOWN, they go UP because that country is producing LESS. More importantly IMPORTS into the country having economic issues go DOWN. Think about how much of the US economy relies on Chinese imports/exports. Now make that chunk damn near vanish. And you think thats a good thing? This has happened previously so we have historic precedent to look at; but it also makes intuitive sense if you give it more thought than "hurr durr let me just shitpost because someone was being mean to daddy". So let me explain to you in simpler terms...
Lets say I make dunce caps and sell them to you for $5. My economy crashes and suddenly my fabric dealer, hat shaper, logistics network, none of it can operate for the same cost anymore. That means that now not only can I not make as many hats but I also cannot sell them to you anymore for $5. So now there are less hats and I can only sell them to you for $50, why would you buy those hats? More importantly, those retailers that you were selling those hats too? Yeah they got no hats either.
Believe it or not life is not a zero sum game. Another country "losing" by having their economy crash does not mean the US is somehow the "winner"; it is possible for everyone to lose. Surely you can see at least a little more clearly how another country's stock market crashing is bad for E V E R Y O N E involved?
Nah? Didn't think so. I guess it's true: you can't fix stupid.
