Started with 5,700, ran up to 18,000, and currently sitting at 4,000. I took a month to make those gains and a little over a week to lose it all. I actually didn’t eat a lot during that time, and always felt like my stomach was in knots. I’m slowly climbing back though.

## Walls1337bot: ##

## Speaker_0: ##
Oh boy... You still can make it back, make sure to create a strategy to get out of the position before the worse happens ...
## Walls1337bot: ##
It’s basically comes down to me not having a plan to take profits. I was up around 800%- 1000% on my calls. Using some fds to try to get it all back just finished me off. I have some itm oct calls on fb, roku and huya now. Will be following a set of rules from now on lol

How the fuck is that possible. According to your post history you’re a young buck. What do you do that allows you access to sic fucking high amounts of capital.
## Speaker_1: ##
Basically,I made 3k to 28k on Robinhood trading options. I showed it to my dad and long story short I am now managing his portfolio. My 28k is in this as well. Last week I told my dad to load up 85k shares of AMD as I thought AMD would benefit greatly from a trade deal. AMD up 10% today.

In the case where you aren't trolling...I would seriously look into how options work (because you got stupid fucking lucky)

Why is this affecting the market? Dude will just be replaced by another crony.

Because Gary Cohn was anti-tariff and him resigning means that the tariffs are going through. He *wasn't* a crony. He is literally a Democrat and respected Wall Street guy that the market thought could keep a handle on Trump.
## Speaker_0: ##
Fair point, but Cohn wasn't the only one preventing tariffs. It sounded like the house and Congress were against it as well.

## Speaker_0: ##
You have to look at full path of market from beginning 2007 to 2010 to understand what most people now don't understand. Market corrections do involve certain days of "crashes" but its a much more sustained thing.
By October 2007 you're up 10+% from January.
This is below January by the end of November in a heavy month of selling
Then right back up in December and year closes up 3.7%
Then the selling starts. January-March there's 32 down days to 28 up days and you're at 7% below January 2007 (as low as 10% below). This is related to collapse of Bear
April and May buck all this. You're back up to just a percent off and there's thoughts we've made it through
July Fannie and Freddie fail. By end of August you're off 9.4% (as much as 14% in July)
The last trading day before Lehman is a Friday, you're off 11.6% vs. January 2017
Monday, September 15, Lehman fails, market drops 4.7%
Drops another 4.7% two days later followed by two 4+ up days and in the the scariest week you end up flat for the week.
So you're sitting there nervous - maybe this will be ok
Then the plunge.
In the next 30 trading days 20 are negative. 5 of them are 5%+ and two are 10%+ positive. Utter rollercoaster but at 10/31 you're down 32% from January 2007
Doesn't stop. In the next 86 trading days 45 are negative until you hit bottom in March 2009 with the market having lost more than HALF of its value.
So to answer your question - where would YOU have pulled the trigger along that line? When we were down 10%? 20%? 45%?
Now way of knowing how it plays out
## Speaker_1: ##
Fascinating recollection, thank you.
I guess the Warren Buffett or value-investor approach would be to continually average down through dips until you reach a bottom. That would take tremendous conviction and emotional maturity however. Not an easy thing to do.
## Walls1337bot: ##
with what capital?
## Speaker_1: ##
As an institution if you think markets are more undervalued than they were previously I'm sure there are ways to find sources of capital to fund investments (especially if you are not fully invested, which many of the smarter funds weren't at the peak of the 2007-2008 bubble).
As an individual, it depends on your situation. I'm assuming this won't work for a typical /r/wsb member.
## Walls1337bot: ##

obviously this was the trade that was going to make him a millionaire so that he could retire. everyone needs that 1 trade to push them through. It's hard to be a long term consistent profitable trader; he doesn't want to day trade his life away to make pennies.
## Speaker_2: ##
Even if the trial was successful, the stock lets say pops 50% then he nets a 400k win. you can't retire on 1.2mn
## Speaker_1: ##
Huh? no...NVAX had a market cap of about 2B before this decline. Assuming the trials were great...peak sales of the vaccine were estimated at 6-8B in just adults. Let's say conservatively sales would be half of that 3-4B. If they get bought out...plenty of companies will pay 3-8 times revenues for such a potential small bio tech company with an orphan/novel product. So, in this scenario....NVAX would probably be worth at least around 48$.
## Speaker_2: ##
Ok so lets say it went from 8 to 48. Is 4.8mn enough to retire on?...
## Walls1337bot: ##
4.8mil is 100k salary for 48 years, yeah you could retire easily.
## Speaker_2: ##
First year analysts make 85k base a year...
How do you retire on 100k (pretax)???
You have housing tax / maintenance fee (assuming you own, rent if you don't), you need to eat, internet, P&U, etx

If the problem is only losing a lot of money, I wound never think about ending my life. Money comes and goes, no big deal. The real problem is an immediate consequence that I have no solution to cope with. But I’ll give it some time. A panicked person rarely makes a good decision.
kind souls on reddit. You did not disappoint me. And I will not disappoint you. Not today.
If you are also suicidal, please listen to me, the good that exists in this world is enough reason to wait for a bit. I do believe you have a valid reason to want to end your life. But at least reach out and feel the kindness of other people. You will at least feel better about this world.

I don think you have to wonder. I think it is clear. He pissed off the judge and the judge used their power to rekt him.

The Judge made a statement at the sentencing stating the opposite of that. The prosecutors were going for a 15 year sentence.
## Speaker_3: ##
Fucking 15 years for what he did would be absolutely crazy.
## Walls1337bot: ##
He fucked up big time on an investment and lost his investors a lot of money. Then, instead of going to his investors and saying he fucked up, he lied about how well he was doing and got new investors.
That is called fraud. To the tune of millions of dollars. He doubled down and gambled with what could have been people's life savings while lying to their faces about what he was doing.
The fact that he managed to recoup their losses is irrelevant.
If I take your million dollars and bet it on red at the casino, that's the illegal act. Win or lose, I should go to jail and win or lose, the punishment should be the same.
Shkreli lied to investors. If a family put their money in his fund, they could have lost their life savings because Shkreli lied about his intentions.
Shkreli looted money from a company he owned to assist in this lie. So he stole from investors that had any stake in that company.
This is exactly the shit Madoff did. He had a really fucking bad year, and rather than come clean to his investors, he reported that everything was going fine and according to plan, used that information to bring in new investors, and tried to use the money from new investors to recoup those initial losses. Eventually, he was in too deep and it just became a pure Ponzi scheme.
Shkreli did steps 1 and 2. He just happened to recoup his losses in step 3.
Step 1 and 2 are what make his actions illegal. If he hadn't made people their money back, he'd probably be going away for at least fifteen years, as he honestly should.

Idk how stupid you'd have to be to assume that, but judging by what you thought *my* comment meant, you're an absolute fucking retard. Please post here before you make any trade so I can inverse you.

Wait let's do this - even if there are restricted shares we can just become a majority shareholder and then fix this shit fuck of a company. WSB takes wall street!
## Speaker_1: ##
How do you fix a company offering free movies for $15 a month? There's probably some equation you can run for how many subs you would need that won't use the service each month to balance out the people who take advantage and see a movie a day, and then set the service price accordingly.
## Speaker_2: ##
Because the people that are driven to actually register and buy it are the same people that will use it more than twice a month.
Then moviepass has to shell out $$ for the extra movies.
Anyone who doesn’t use it more than twice a month isn’t going to keep paying the subscription.
## Speaker_3: ##
Plenty of people pay monthly gym fees and never go.
## Walls1337bot: ##
There's a difference though. Watching a movie takes no effort and is instant reward, a gym membership takes effort and the reward is delayed. Way more people are going to put off going to the gym versus going to the movies. People that hate the gym get gym memberships, no one that hates movies is getting moviepass.

## Speaker_1: ##
According to what?
## Walls1337bot: ##
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.)
## Speaker_2: ##
You think a 10 year bull run reverse in 2 days and we just resume?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Reverse in two days? We've been going down the past 3 months. It won't "reverse" in two days, but we will see a gradual bull run early 2019 to re-test the market high earlier in the year. Where we go from there is anyone's guess. The fact that 50% of the subreddit thinks we will experience a 2008 level crash anytime soon just goes to show why most of this sub looses money.
## Speaker_2: ##

Have any of you ever sat on a jury? I did once because I thought it would be fun to learn about how a trial actually goes. It was incredibly eye-opening. Jurors are some of the simplest folk you have ever met. These people are naturally predisposed to despise people like Shkreli already. I can't possibly imagine that his personality would endear him to them, but I am really curious how this turns out.
## Speaker_1: ##
I mean they are literally the middle cross section of society. You're going to get people making an average of $12/hr whose vision turn red the moment they hear the word "billionaire" waft through the air.
There's even friction between jurors during the part where you have to disclose what your day job is.
It's the defense attorney/prosecutor's job to screen jurors, but there's only so much influence you have over the process.
The news reported that a significant number of the jury thought Shkreli was responsible for Epi pen. The facts of the case don't matter, he's fucked because the media successfully assassinated his character.
## Speaker_0: ##

Welcome to the future!
I will never understand why WSB hasn't ever yolo'd on the futures, it's exactly what we all talk about everyday, you can make $500-daily just day trading a couple times in and out on the run-ups and there is no Pattern Day Trade Restrictions, you can trade 50 times in 2 minutes if you want..
and it's exactly like shares except you get $12.50 per single penny up for S&P futures or like I keep trying to tell everyone, the Nikkei futures! $25 per single penny/tick up!
Today Nikkei moved from 21920 to 22940 in 1 day..
You can trade futures 24/7 and they open on Sunday even!
I just don't understand why we keep with options which theta and decay and implied bullshit volatiltiy..
Futures don't decay and just change prices to make your options worthless..
blah blah, no-one ever listens anyway..
Point is, NK_Diplomat,
WELCOME TO THE FUTURE.
P.S.- if we are still going into rally mode for g20, load up on the next dip in Nikkei and close when it hits 22530 or so.
## Speaker_1: ##
What's the max I can lose on these things?
## Speaker_0: ##
You can lose as much as your broker lets you till it auto stops you out.
That is the reason it takes so much margin to buy 1 future.
This is the thing that EVERYBODY is soooo scared about futures they need to KNOW!
Look, If you buy a future, now you have it, just like you have shares, and Just like Shares, you can set limit sells and Auto stop loss, etc..
But trading the futures you will not really be holding, (you can but it's better to just trade in and out)
So the "max" you can lose is how fast you can press "SELL!
and guess what! there is no liquidity garbage either! You will always have a buyer/seller because they stay extreme tight bid/ask!
So there is never a problem selling.
I have to make a video, because everybody is so scared of the futures it's hilarious.
You can lose as much as you want if you don't hit close after 2 ticks down which in that case is $-20 or -$30 depending on which future.
but the Point of the futures is to quickly get in and out literally within seconds or minutes, you won't need to hold.
You don't have day trade restrictions, so you can just open and close 50 times a day every 2 minutes if you want.
## Speaker_2: ##
What about on a day like today. Say you were short the sp500, and then bam in 1 candle it goes up $300. Idk. Im pretty sure you just got yourself a mortgage
## Speaker_0: ##
You wouldn't have just opened a short position, you see you trade the futures when it moves at 930am or during some thing like the news (speech today) or whenever you see something in SPY (S&P) or QQQ (Nasdaq) etc..
So in other words, you would have to, as they say "catch a falling knife" to have something rip down on you, and even if it does, everybody thinks you lose your house over a futures contract, but then you realize once you trade them you can only lose $150-300 in a major major major I mean Major catastrophe if you somehow can't reach your mouse button or Phone button and press "Sell" in literally 2 seconds...
That's the part that nobody gets, you can sell the 1 second after you buy..
You can also, set an auto sell order while pressing the Buy button! I mean then you have a fail-safe sell at whatever you set it at!
Lordy! I mean how much more can I try to help you all see that the futures are the fricken Future!
Look$#@
this is an order that all you do is click one time and it is set to buy at 22215 and auto stoplimit sell if it goes to 22205!
That would be a $50 loss! that's it!
https://imgur.com/z5EnwNJ
You can do that 50 times a day, now if you lose $50 50 times in 1 day.. then that is on you!

Market prices are based on "a dollar today" if a trader thinks he's going to have to wait 4 years for this to pay off, he's out.

OH.... Craziest story... I met the American Trucker Association guys as they were leaving an event at the Willard as I was heading in. I asked about their "I Love Trucks" buttons they were wearing. If you've seen that viral picture of Trump in a truck, it was because of these guys. They said Trump came out and he walked right past all the Trucking company CEOs and went to talk with the drivers. He spent time with each of the drivers and only a few minutes with the CEOs. The CEOs said they LOVED that he did that since they don't have a business without drivers.
It was cool to hear how excited these men and women were after their meeting with the president. Genuinely excited the president talked more to their employees than to the executives.

That is $107.000,00 check my comment history, should be two weeks ago. Cashed a bit out and bought some gold, lost 20.000 the next week shorting Netflix and getting my exit wrong. I've got some cash waiting for a rally during which I'll buy some 2020 puts on Netflix and $GDDY
## Speaker_3: ##
what in the hell is $107.000,00. do you mean 107,000.00, or did you add an extra 0 for a hundreth of a cent? Why are you even adding cents if you made 107,000. This whole comment is confusing the hell outa me

## Walls1337bot: ##
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.

The fact that the lotto makes so much profit off of basically everyone losing constantly coupled with the fact that winning the lottery makes you an alcoholic degenerate with a broken family 100% of the time is a testament to the truth that the lottery is always a waste of money.

ShoePidgeon thinks he's brigading us but his responses are just painful to read, what a fucking dumbass.
1. If you have obscene amounts of money it doesn't mean someone is going to suffer because of you. They'd be suffering anyways and some asshat would be there to replace you.
2. Your latestagecapitalism philosophy is that you'd be happy working customer service the rest of your life providing for your family; here's a newsflash for you, if you consider your socialist mindset living in a capitalist world you'd still have an obligation to help others. Let's take the most left-ass philosopher on earth, Peter Singer, and [apply his philosophy to your dumb fucking life.](http://www.bbc.co.uk/ethics/charity/duty_1.shtml). You're not entitled to comfortable living within a capitalist system, you're obligated to prioritize saving life and helping others in dire need with your surplus resources, this includes your labor. So if you're a customer service rep with a nice family life who's not reaching his full potential because he could be making money and using that money to better the lives of others, you're an unethical lazy fuck.
3. Crazy Idea number three coming your way. If you want power to enact political change, maybe it's better to have money and support those who share your socialist philosophies or some shit, fuck it use your excess money to get Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez into office, maybe she'll pass mincome for you and you can go back to your mom's basement.
4. It's 2018 and despite what you might believe most of the people here are actually regular working class folk. I guarantee every one of them is smarter than you. See, while you see a stacked deck and impossible odds everyone here is trying to make a better life. It's crazy how every socialist in the world looks at Donald Trump's massive corporate tax cuts and just says, well it's the corporation's money now, when are the workers gonna get a dime. Newsflash, those corporations are public, those stock buybacks funded by those tax cuts have made me money and I'm not a fucking millionaire, just smart enough to know where the fucking money's going. Wise the fuck up, shut the fuck up, and buy some shares.
## Walls1337bot: ##
People like SockPenguin are just unhappy about where their lives ended up and are unable to accept that the blame may actually fall on themselves. They desperately need it to be because Society is not the utopia they imagine it could be and their political identities are merely a projection of this.
It also conveniently provides them an excuse to perch themselves on top of an unearned and imaginary moral high ground because they claim to be interested in bettering the lives of The Common Man™. Never mind that that outcome is something the people they look down upon probably want as well, the fact they disagree with the means makes them idiots who "suck up to the rich."
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah, I'd imagine most of America is unhappy with where they are since their wages are stagnant to the point of actual decline and unless they're a special engineer or an MD capitalism offers them nothing but a long slog into a lonely grave. But since you're living in a bubble and don't realize that a socialist almost won a major party's presidential nomination and a reality TV star who spoke out against free trade is the president, you're probably completely incapable of understanding anything outside your immediate field of vision, and even that is questionable since you probably don't have any money either.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Bernie lives in a weird grey space being on the record as a Social Democrat but calling himself a Socialist. I almost think he doesn't even know the difference, wait I know he doesn't considering that he constantly called Scandinavian countries Socialist.
Declining wages and inequality can be fixed in other ways than seizing the means of production.
The only one here in a bubble is you man and for a subset of people who like to proclaim they don't judge people by how much they are worth(Socialists) it really seems like the only insult you have is to question how much money people have.
## Speaker_1: ##
> Declining wages and inequality can be fixed in other ways than seizing the means of production.
The people like you who love capitalism don't seem to be making it happen. Both major parties and nearly every single person in power is way closer to your ideology than mine. Because they make money off the extraction of wealth from the working class. As Voltaire put it 'The comfort of the rich is dependent upon an abundant supply of the poor.'
## Walls1337bot: ##
And burning the system down because it doesn't live up to your arbitrary expectations of equity will hurt the poor just as much if not more than the people you envy.
What do you think that Voltaire quote even proves? Of course the rich are dependent on poor people being below them, that's nothing more than a tautology. It's like saying you can't have a penthouse without floors below it.
Even in your hypothetical perfectly meritocratic society there will still be a 1(or some other)% who live better than the rest. Unless you plan on compensating Janitors and Surgeons alike?
As far as the extraction of the value of labor from capitalists. There is a trade off here. Employees don't have to contribute any start up costs and face none of those associated risks for the freedom of being able to come and go as they please.
Are things a bit out of whack? Absolutely. I’m not some hardcore AnCap. But Socialism is most definitely not the answer when you consider all of the Calculation and Knowledge problems implied by the central planning that would have to take place for the workers to truly own the means of production.

Walmart call options set to expire tomorrow.
He bought 4 call option contracts at an average cost of 1.96/contract ($196/contract) for about $768 (the premium). He was betting that the stock price of Walmart would go above $90. When he closed his position the stock price was trading at $100.09. He gets to bank the difference, or $10.09 x 100 x 4 - the premium
He walked away about $3250 up
Edit - fixed some fuckey math
## Speaker_2: ##
I think I truly am retarded
(also never traded options, I just buy at mkt using schwab for long term)
So if he bought calls @ $90, and the price per contract is $1.95, and he has four contracts... where’s this $1100 figure coming from?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Each "contract" is 100 shares, so multiple by 100.
## Speaker_3: ##
Do you have to buy the shares, or can you sell the contract and earn the difference in share price? Like do I need the money in my account to buy 100 shares of whatever the contract is for?
## Walls1337bot: ##
If you don't have the money to execute the contract, the contract is usually sold (if possible) an hour before the market closes and you profit off the premium.

Hired an accountant for the first time this year. Cost me $1200 but it saved me a ridiculous amount of time and god do I sleep easier.
## Walls1337bot: ##
i hired an accountant once, then they forgot to file my taxes and i had to beg the IRS to not penalize me. after that i decided that if my taxes are going to get fucked up i'll just do it myself.
## Speaker_2: ##
Where the fuck did you hire this "accountant" from, Craigslist?
## Walls1337bot: ##
he was a legit accountant, with an office and a sign and everything

I love how he questions everyone who suggests a bankruptcy attorney with "What's the need for a bankruptcy attorney?"...
Cos you're bankrupt bro!!!
## Speaker_2: ##
Dude is obviously fucking retarded. He is asking for *legal advice* on /r/legaladvice, and can't seem to grasp that hiring a *professional legal adviser* would be a good idea.

He'd fit in here a lot better. We could double those negative gains really quickly.

He won’t serve the full 7. But this is bullshit, way way too harsh.
## Speaker_2: ##
There is no parole in the federal system anymore. He can get credit for good behavior but that's it.
## Speaker_3: ##
And the good time credits at the Federal Level are only a reduction of 15% of your sentence. Unless he has a substance abuse problem we are unaware of he is spending the at least the next 70 months of his life behind bars.

Honestly, they should just show this on Fox News
## Speaker_1: ##
They would just interpret the gif differently and as proof that the Tariffs are hurting China.
## Speaker_2: ##
They are though. Today wasn't because of Tariffs but because of the antitrust threat to tech companies.
## Speaker_1: ##
Of course they are hurting China, but that’s not the point of the gif. Hurting China in this way hurts the USA.
There are obviously pros and cons of the entire ordeal, but on Fox News the viewers would not acknowledge the negative aspects. They would use the gif- like all information delivered on their network, to reinforce their limited scope of understanding.
## Speaker_3: ##
Obviously tariffs hurt both countries in different ways, the goal is to make the other say "uncle" first.
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah, that’s great and all- but our government works on term limits and theirs does not. Their leadership can simply outlast ours. The Chinese have no problem with sacrificing the comfort of their people, and we all know that.
Why would any sitting president want to inherit this economic disaster? Nobody wants to be the president during the next depression. These tariffs will dissolve regardless of our next presidents party.
## Speaker_4: ##
I doubt it actually, we might get a recession, but China’s economy is already irrevocably damaged that will take at least 5-10 years to recover, now imagine what happens when foreign investment starts really plunging in China...
It’s going to be a bloodbath
## Walls1337bot: ##
>irrevocably damaged
China's reserve thinks differently about this

It's bad news dude, there will be no potential for growth after this, the mother of all selloffs is coming because they frontloaded all the gains in exchange for any hope for the future. They will sell the country down the river at inflated prices and buy undervalued Asian and European assets. Congratulations, you played yourself.

## Walls1337bot: ##
At this point? Are you nuts? It's going up before it goes down. It is going to be the exact opposite of catching a falling knife.
edit:parabolic move upward
## Speaker_0: ##
True. I still think you are wrong. We will see I suppose.
Obviously the market can't bubble forever. But I don't think they rushed this to pump and dump or anything.
## Walls1337bot: ##
They definitely did rush this. The rally could last for quite some time, historically, the last two times Republicans have pulled "tax cuts" (Reagan and W), the stock market experienced a sugar rush that sent stocks up for 3-5 years (82-87, 03-08)before crashing down. In conjunction with the glut in the global bond market, things will get interesting.

The dudes in that thread make me cringe. If you back test the dumb fucking "lazy" portfolio by bogleheads, which is essentially 50/50 stocks and bonds, you'll massively, like massively as fuck, under perform the S&P. Even during a recession the S&P recovered faster and had better performance during the ~2008-2010 time frame. Like yeah I guess cool if you want to have bonds, but jesus fucking christ 50% bonds is fucking rage inducing unless you're an old retiree who is like 75 or some shit
## Speaker_1: ##
Even has a retiree its terrible. I get into this a lot with fucking advisers that call me. "You are 100 percent equities in your 30s....what if you have a collapse! You should be in 10-20 percent bonds!" Like as if the 20 percent is going to make me happy when I lose 80 percent.
## Speaker_2: ##
The point of the 20% bonds is just so you have some spare cash to reinvest when the market tanks. Basically, imagine you're 100% in stocks, and your $100,000 turns to $50,000 and then goes back up to where it started at $100,000. If you were 100% invested in stocks, you have no cash to take advantage of the discount. Your only options are wait it out, or sell hoping for a larger drop.
If you have some percent in bonds, you can rebalance when the market is crap. Now if the stocks all go back to where they were before, you're up bigly. Assuming $80k stocks and $20k bonds and a 50% drop, $80k becomes $40k. You rotate your $20k of bonds into stock, giving you $60k stock. Everything doubles again. You now have $120k.
There are environments where cash is king. Bonds are often a decent substitute if you can rotate out at a moment's notice.
## Speaker_3: ##
I shit you not this is the first time I've ever heard this reasoning and it's actually really good.
## Walls1337bot: ##
it's investing 101, literally was the first piece of advice I read in the first book I read about the stock market lol
