It’s no one’s business how long I spent doing the work, I completed everything expected of me.\n\nI could go to a different company where the output will require me doing 30-40 hours a week or even 50-60. The work will be more difficult and I will be making significantly more. I choose to stay at a company where my workload and pay is smaller because I value my time with my family more than I value making more money." } ]

They are a well oiled machine at this point. It pays to be a head of the curve. Retrofitting and retooling is expensive.\n\nLegacy companies and especially VW have had to borrow at insane rates to do a 180 to try and catch up with the EV trend as well as pay back fines from dieselgate as well as investments in Electrify America. \n\nBut debt doesn’t tell the whole story. When you have trust from finance institutions from being around forever you are allowed to be in debt and operate almost indefinitely as eventually one of the many individual loans will be paid off so the bank doesnt care as they will eventually get paid (hopefully)." } ]

Usually directional (looking for overbought/sold on multiple timeframes), but occasionally straddle when I'm expecting vol. I exit as often as I can over 100% gain, because exiting too soon with so many that expire at 100% loss means the gains have to make up for it.

However in this anaology somthing catostrphic and unlikely happens causing the stock to suddenly drop to $0 at expiration. At this point you have to fulfill your contractional obligations of your puts you sold, aka, buy 1, 000 × 100 or 100,000 shares at $10 a piece.\n\n100,000 shares at @ $10 a share is $1,000,000. However, since the stock price is actually $0 now, you essentially just lost $1,000,000.\n\nWhy this is kind of similair it is very unlikely a stock will suddenly drop from $20 to $0 out of no where causing you to lose $1,000,000 just like it was so unlikely for the jags to come back from that deficit at half time. On the opposite side it should be very likely a stock at $20 stays above $10 at expiration which would lead to you winning $11k just like it was very likely for the jags to lose causing you to profit $11k.\n\nNow technically it isnt 100% analogous since its possible in the options scenario to close out your position before expiration before the stock price hit $0 if you decided to before the sudden black swan event that would cause the stock to go $0 and you to lose the full $1,000,000." } ]

By 1970 as Boomers started flooding into the workforce, 50% of households had 2 working parents and it just kept growing from there. Why? Because one job wasn't enough to support a family, buy a house, save for retirement, save for your kids college. Trust me I lived it. And I paid 14% interest on my 1st mortgage in 1984. Let that sink in. Inflation and interest rates were epic back then. You have no idea (yet)! \n\nBoomers worked their tails off. (Some of them are STILL working.) Not because they were greedy but because they had to in order to support their families. Not saying you can't find things to complain about Boomers or ANY generation, really, but talk is cheap. Let's see how your generation actually changes things for the better. If you don't like the way things are, get a mitt and get into the game. Every generation has an opportunity to leave their mark.
