Regardless of how you feel about his personality, companies and ethical practices, that man does work no one else is willing to do. He could sit back and focus on TSLA but he wants to create a commercial and sustainable rocketship.
## Speaker_1: ##
Agreed but SpaceX is probably more profitable than TSLA.
## Speaker_2: ##
yeah, he's said in the past that TSLA was never about making a bunch of money. it's a vision, not a profitable business- its purpose is to push boundaries and force the rest of the auto industry to try new things by proving to them that it's possible and there is demand for products that they have been unwilling to try to produce. and it's accomplished that. EV's are sexy now.
## Speaker_3: ##
That goes against everything about going public.
The auto industry could make electric cars at anytime, it’s just not profitable which Tesla has proven
## Walls1337bot: ##
It's not profitable because the oil industry paid for massive gasoline based infrastructure. People forget the first (edit: *consumer*) automobiles were electric and gasoline was originally a waste byproduct of oil refineries. Combustion engines and the energy storing capacity of fossil fuels were pushed intentionally to create a market for what was literally industrial waste.
The functional limitations of EVs have always been range and by proxy battery capacity (eg weight to power). Gasoline is simply lightweight potential energy stored in explosive carbonful fluid.
Sorry if that was a little rambly and tin foil hatty but basically what I'm saying is combustion engines are only more profitable because oil companies built the world's infrastructure for them (petrol stations rather than rapid charging stations or battery exchanges) and that was mostly due to political meddling and civil planning rather than "invisible hand" economic efficiency.
I'm still short Tesla until they admit they are a battery company not a car company.

## Speaker_1: ##
True, but Yahoo was a sinking ship long before Mayer took over
## Walls1337bot: ##
They bought 40% stake in Alibaba in 2005, 7 years before Mayer was CEO. Of course they would have stocks in the company when they went public in 2014.

Meh, could not care about their profit, CEO or share price as long as they keep making cars like my model 3.
The car is phenomenal. It makes me look forward to driving it every day. If reliability stays solid for the next few years I'll never buy from another manufacturer.

Chides Tesla owner for having to worry about in-warranty repairs at no cost to them.
Blissfully wastes all their hard-earned money on gas stations every week and ridiculous ICE maintenance costs.
Gas cars, where the warranty doesn't matter because most parts are designed to fail under "normal wear and tear".
Complain about TSLA stock all you want, but going from a gas car to an EV is like going from a basic phone to a smartphone. There's a reason why EVs--any EV, including the economy ones--have significantly higher owner satisfaction rates than gas cars and why Teslas are at the top of those lists.
## Speaker_4: ##
Yeah forgot there are no trade offs when deciding to go with an electric car over and ICE car. Very balanced post here. Not bias at all. Good job.
## Speaker_5: ##
I mean I'm sure It would have been fine if you listed some of the trade offs. Why would an ICE be better than an electric?
## Speaker_6: ##
Range (I can do 450± miles on a tank), ability to refuel in a couple minutes (and then go another 450+ miles), ability to operate at any temperature (batteries don't like the cold, or the hot... In the cold, your range drops significantly, and if it's cold enough, it drops to 0 miles), ability to refuel anywhere you go (if it's cold or hot, the battery coolers / heaters take enough power that if you plug into 110V, your Tesla will actually lose charge).
Electric cars are cool, and it's hard to argue with the acceleration, but they're useless for road trips, inconvenient for daily driving if you don't have the infrastructure, and doubly inconvenient in the winter if you don't have that infrastructure, or need to drive more than 100 miles in a day.

This is completely fair reasoning, but do you think the precedent of removing security clearance is dangerous?
\* Why am I being downvoted for saying I thought someones reasoning was fair but asking a simple question about what seemed like a new precedent of removing a political foes clearance... come on people.
## Speaker_0: ##
The whole "security clearance" racket is stupid and a waste of government resources anyway. Do you know how many Americans have security clearances? MILLIONS.
There is no logical reason why MILLIONS of americans should have access to "restricted" data unless that data should never have been restricted in the first place. These days security clearances are simply another form of Taxi "medallions". They can be purchased or acquired through connections and they allow people to make extra money at do-nothing jobs like TSA.
## Walls1337bot: ##
>There is no logical reason why MILLIONS of americans should have access to "restricted" data unless that data should never have been restricted in the first place.
They don't have access to "restricted" data. They have access to the data that they need to do their jobs. Their security clearance is just the government having verified that that can be trusted; the data that they can actually access is determined by how they're employed.

Can someone ELI5 what OP did
## Speaker_1: ##
He sold contracts that said he had to buy the stock at expiration of the contracts if SPY were at a certain price. He thought they would expire worthless.
He was wrong. Since the market is so volatile he was "put" the shares, which was 86k of SPY shares or $23 million.
He panicked and sold the shares as soon as he could for a profit during the small window of time SPY went green over the volatile trading session. He made 110k in a very lucky small window of time, but he might be charged some interest for borrowing 23 million for a few hours.
Short story is that OP is a faggot.
## Speaker_2: ##
> I sold the 266.50/266.00 put spread for a 2 cent credit.
what does he mean by that?
## Speaker_1: ##
He simultaneously sold puts at 266.50 and bought puts at 266 to pocket the spread
If I read him correctly he was thinking spy would go up
## Speaker_3: ##
why would his brokerage leave him exposed like this shouldn't they have exercised the 266 puts to help limit his exposure to 50k?
if the SPY would have opened below 266.50 the OP would have been fucked
## Walls1337bot: ##
Theres another post where someone pointed out that OP is actually rich. Look at the bottom of the pic you'll see him/her buy $130k worth of Facebook.
The VAR on this spread was $50k which is all E-Trade would have let him lose. Even if his short option expired in the money and his long option expired out, the risk is less than $50k. E-Trade would have liquidated him if his account couldn't support the risk.
Unless, I suppose, it's remotely possible that etrade is retarded and would let this happen after close after hours with settlement in the morning.... I'd think they're not that dumb

## Speaker_2: ##
According to what?
## Speaker_1: ##
This subreddit is pretty fucking hilarious with people trying to predict the next 2008 level event. Historically, the S&P has only gone down by over 30% a handful of times, and we already hit 20% a few days ago. Not much more room for it to fall. There are also no serious problems with the economy or markets. The only concerns are tariffs and the Fed, one of which Trump has complete control over and will need to get done if he has any hope of being re-elected. Regarding the Fed, the market over-corrected to the news that there will be two rate hikes next year. This was compounded by Trump's idiotic move to have Mnuchin ask the banks if they're still liquid. People realized this and are buying back in. We are also still one year out from a recession, bond yields haven't even inverted. When they do invert and stay inverted for several months, we can expect a recession soon. Lastly, we hit a lower low and a higher high today, which is a bullish signal with increased volume over the previous rally. I have my money bet on a near-term rally, with short vertical put spreads on everything that I think was oversold (AAPL, NFLX, MSFT, SPY, QQQ.)

Saying you've collected 50 Michelin stars is the douchiest thing I've ever heard. I used to be a cook at high end restaurants and worked for Michelin chefs, you didn't collect shit. Those stars belong to the chefs and the staff who earned that distinction through their work. You've eaten there that's it.
Also bragging about Michelin stars is douchey in general. They only go to certain cities, just because they didn't find the restaurants to rate them doesn't mean there isn't "Michelin" quality food that isn't listed as such.

$SNAP is the third largest software company to be shorted going into earnings reports, 1.3 billion. I'm a dumbass, can someone explain short squeeze to me?
## Speaker_1: ##
When you short a stock (borrowing it to sell) you have to buy it back at some point. If everyone who is shorting rushes to buy it back at the same time, all that buying power will push the price up.
If a lot of people are short and good news happens, they all want to stop shorting at the same time. That means the price goes up so they need to buy, which moves the price up more so other shorts are even *more* desperate to buy, etc. This is a "short squeeze".

Why would u “start to get worried” other than because other people would start to get worried
## Walls1337bot: ##
Because government employees aren’t paid during a shutdown and 61% of Americans can’t afford a 1000 dollar surprise expense. Not being paid for 2 weeks is a surprise expense. They are paid retroactively, but doesn’t matter if rent is due and you’re like “well government isn’t paying me, please let me live here for free”.

Count to ten at 9:35 AM tomorrow. In those ten seconds, Jeff Bezos, the owner and founder of Amazon, just lost more money than the median employee of Amazon makes in an entire year. An entire year.
## Speaker_1: ##
without bezos, those amazon employees might not even have a job. so there's that
## Speaker_2: ##
They will just work in some other type of retail or warehouse job for a different company that does something similar to amazon's many different enterprises, but with maybe less efficiency as Amazon. You make it sound like, because of Amazon there is a net increase in jobs, when the opposite could be true too. There was a world before Amazon and unemployment wasn't much different during that time.
## Speaker_3: ##
Agreed. Benefit of Amazon is decrease in cost of living for everyone. The fact that they have a merit based part model just sweetens the deal. Not necessarily an increase in jobs, but a definite increase in quality of life for every human

Why do you think they would be losing money at the original price?
Considering they will likely be flying out the same number of people. The trade-off is making the normal profit margin vs creating bad PR with huge profits on a couple flights.
I think it's a poor move but they obviously don't give a shit about bad PR anymore.
## Speaker_3: ##
I'm selling cookies at a profit and have 5 to sell, and suddenly 20 people show up. Do I raise prices until only the 5 people that need them the most get them, or do I just hand them out at random and lose money?
## Speaker_2: ##
>I just hand them out at random and lose money?
Just because demand went up does not mean your costs went up. Why would you have the original price set so low that you would be losing money? You would still have your original profit margins.
What I'm saying is the relatively small money grab by inflating the price on a couple flights is not beneficial when you consider the amount of potential bad PR to Delta as a global company.
Your analogy also implies that other cookie stands don't exist and the 15 unfulfilled costumers have no competing cookie stands (other airlines) and no options for any other kind of desert (any alternative mode of evacuation).

twice
the last quote from him at the end of the article is: “I’m all for health care for all,” David says, “but I’m also realistic. Where are you going to cut the money to pay for that?”
Dude doesn't even realize that people with really high healthcare expenses like his wife's cancer are the ones who benefit the most from universal healthcare. He actually looks at it like, well health insurance is super expensive right now, I can't even afford it, if we get universal healthcare, it's just going to cost even more.

## Speaker_1: ##
In 2016, [Trump says U.S. interest rates must change as Fed weighs rate hike](https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-trump-idUSKCN11B24E):
> “They’re keeping the rates down so that everything else doesn’t go down,” Trump said in response to a reporter’s request to address a potential rate hike by the Federal Reserve in September. “We have a very false economy,” he said.
>
> “At some point the rates are going to have to change,” Trump, who was campaigning in Ohio on Monday, added. “The only thing that is strong is the artificial stock market,” he said.
So Trump thought the market was artificially too high back when the DOW was only around 18k.
## Speaker_2: ##
And he was right!

Actually, check this out. At his peak, Rockefeller's wealth would have been equal to 400B today, which was equal to 1.5% of America's GDP at the time. What confuses me is that when I plug that 1.5% into America's GDP today I get 270B. That figure should be much much higher because of American's GDP growth since that time.

Furthermore, they called him out for campaigning in Texas, which he won but by a much smaller margin than is typical for a republican candidate. Makes you think.

## Speaker_0: ##
Is selling covered calls less risky than just straight up buying calls?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yes.
## Speaker_0: ##
How much less risky?
## Walls1337bot: ##
When you sell a covered call your risk is that the stock goes up more than premium and your shares get called away. So if it stock goes up 1% over the itm-ness of your call you sold, you lost out on that 1% extra gain. If the stock goes down, your stocks won't be called away and you'll collect the free premium of the call you sold, and you'll still have your shares.
When you buy a call, you can lose 100% when it doesn't grow worth more than you paid

Nothing's hard to understand about that, it's actually quite basic and childish when it comes to logical thought. What's hard to understand is how any adult could actually be stupid enough to believe that "big oil" is getting together to collude to stop Tesla. They can't even collude to keep prices where they need them.
But yeah, they're waging a super secret war against a small electric car manufacturer because gasoline for cars is literally the only thing we use oil for on this planet. Maybe one day we'll find another use for it...
## Speaker_4: ##

## Speaker_4: ##
Okay, oil companies actively supported astroturfing, fake science, and fake news regarding climate change in an ongoing pattern of donations to fake front groups to advance their agenda, but they have suddenly stopped advancing their agenda because...
## Walls1337bot: ##
You're still wayyyyy off the mark. You have yet to explain why destroying Tesla would even be a part of an oil company's agenda. It is hands down the most retarded part of your argument, yet you all just act like it's a given. What is it that has you so convinced that a company like Exxon is worried about Tesla?
Even if it was a part of their agenda, why would they need to do *anything* at all? If Elon/Tesla continue on their current trajectory, "big oil" and "the banks" can just stand on the sidelines and watch Tesla destroy itself.
## Speaker_4: ##
> You have to explain why destroying Tesla would even be a part of an oil company's agenda.
No, I really don't -- it's self-evident to anyone. I also don't have to explain why cigarette companies would pay for propaganda that cigarettes are safe, or why the worst country, Russia, would want to propagandize against democracies, or why the sky is blue. ExxonMobil is the biggest funder of global-warming denialism, spending nearly $16 million on more than forty organizations over the period 1998–2005.

## Speaker_0: ##
can someone explain what's going on? if the stock was selling for less than $50 by 8/17, how much would he have lost?
## Speaker_1: ##
I'm pretty new at this myself but imma take a stab. Based on the return (+$4650) and the current price ($11.60), he paid $2.30, spending a total of $1150. If stock price stayed under $50, the value would decrease below $2.30 as the 8/17 expiration approached and would be worth nothing at expiration.
## Speaker_0: ##
so he would have lost a maximum of $1150?
## Speaker_1: ##
Correct (I think). I think the more likely outcome is that you'd take a loss before the value went totally to zero.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Correct indeed. At expiration an option is worth only it's intrinsic value. If the call option expired OTM with the stock price below the strike price, it would have no intrinsic value and be worthless; the entire $1150 premium cost would be sacrificed.
As I type this, the option is currently ITM with the stock price at $57.94. If the option expires ITM, /u/throwaway33371 will be subject to automatic exercise, and will be liable to pay $25,000 to purchase the 500 shares at the strike price. I don't use RH and so have no idea how they decide to handle automatic exercise, but under few strategies will one hold an ITM option to expiration. He or she will sell the option well prior to that to capitalize on the intrinsic and extrinsic values, collecting major tendies.

Normal 325s and 330s redlined at 6500; this one is at 6800 so it’s a performance package (ZHP) 330. That would explain the M badge on the wheel. And coupes/convertibles had italicized text on the clusters so it’s got to be a 330Ci.

damn
are you like a bmw whisperer or something
## Speaker_1: ##
I’ve just had a few.
## Speaker_3: ##
A few... Rich boy is too cool to keep one car for life

A somewhat not completely fucked E46 M3 can be had for under 20k. That's doable for even someone working full time Mickey D's in my state. Stupid and makes no sense, but doable.
## Speaker_3: ##
Look at you and your Mickey D's full time job
## Speaker_4: ##
Think I got a full time job at Mickey D's? HA! Why work when I can easily clear $250+/day panhandling? SEATTLE FTW!!!!

big theta boi
## Speaker_1: ##
So I think I understand enough about theta time decay to deal with it but I don’t get what people mean by theta gang, so on and so forth

That's just a lot of money to have in OTM options and even if the market just grinds sideways for a week you are going to feel a lot of pain.
## Speaker_1: ##
Bro I have had these for three weeks. When I say brass balls and white knuckles I mean it. I’ve held thru -25% days
## Walls1337bot: ##
i don't get it. if you really think SPY is gonna fall that much, then just buy a lot closer to the money. just buy 10x december 300p's.

You think anyone is brazen enough to actually hold this through? This is legit a $5k coin flip lol
## Speaker_0: ##
Life is a coin flip... either way this is why I don’t play spy
## Speaker_1: ##
SPY calls/puts are the closest thing to betting on red/black in roulette for people like me who live in states where casinos are disallowed.
edit: Letting options expire, or cutting it close, is especially risky if you don't have the buying/selling power.

Oh god, does Reddit pay you anything for the nearly 1 Million comment Karmas that you have acquired LOL!
