### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## bought 4 at 10.40. Not even mad. By this time next year it will have gone up $8 and I will have made $32 profit and then who will be laughing? ## Speaker_1: ## you do know what leverage decay is right...in a year this etn will be forced to reverse split ## Speaker_2: ## Explain. Please & thank you. ## Walls1337bot: ## High beta for an underlying commodity causes the stock to decrease due to volatility. As in, commodity goes up by 20% then goes down by 16%, commodity made a gain of 0.8% overall. 3x leveraged etf goes up 60% then goes down 48%, the etf is down 16.8%. So, even though the underlying commodity gained, the 3x leveraged ETF lost since it has to rebalance constantly to follow the underlying commodity. Also, there are usually high expenses/etc which just make things even worse. Edit: dust for example does daily rebalance. Also has ~1% expense ratio. ### END CONVERSATION ###

If this cuck can wsb harder than wsb, while still being in charge of an entire hedge fund, then maybe we shouldn't feel as bad about ourselves? Maybe there's hope for us after all? ## Speaker_4: ## I was just thinking that. I've done pretty poorly this past month or two, but at least I didn't lose EVERYTHING. LOL Seriously though, you gotta diversify. ## Speaker_5: ## He lost more than everything. He was SELLING options. His investors now are in debt. -1000%. ## Walls1337bot: ## > He lost more than everything. He was SELLING options. His investors now are in debt. -1000%. See, this is what I don't get. If you are the investor, why would you stupidly do this. You can be liable if a trade go south as oppose to ONLY just losing the original investment. Is this normal of most hedge funds? I'm a poor fuck so I don't have money in hedge funds...just MU $90. ### END CONVERSATION ###

This contract is probably for a max of 400 million based on the performance of World Poker Fund that will never come close to being achieved. I bet he doesn't get shit unless they skyrocket. ## Speaker_1: ## Isn't that more incentive for him to pump the shit out of it to his bazillion twitter followers? ## Speaker_2: ## Pretty much. They've got a site that lets you play [poker with celebrities](http://celebrityworld.com/#nav). This company is all hype. ## Walls1337bot: ## I'd pay a dollar to play a game of poker with Soulja Boy and John McAfee. ### END CONVERSATION ###
### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## All of a sudden people like Tesla now. ## Speaker_1: ## I’m surprised and not that Andrew Left did a 180 on his Tesla stance and went long. I use to be a Tesla bear too but am starting to see the light. ## Speaker_2: ## You must make a killing with conviction like that ## Speaker_1: ## Yes, I actually have. One of the things people lack when investing is seeing things from the other side. I couldn’t understand the Tesla bull case and believed all the bear hype for a long time. It’s like how all the MU hype boys can’t understand why their stock is falling. They literally say things like “profits must not matter” and can’t see any other reason. ## Walls1337bot: ## > I couldn’t understand the Tesla bull case and believed all the bear hype for a long time. They have a product that is highly desirable. Contradictory to the bears conviction, this product is not so easy to develop and produce at scale. Even if they stop innovating, they have a head start of ~2 years vs potential competitors. The legacy automakers can't switch to EVs over night (if at all). The ONLY question now is this- can they make a profit. If today's report categorically shows that- the bear case becomes irrelevant altogether. ### END CONVERSATION ###

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## There will be an obvious appeal, that they can likely win. This all started from Microsoft, Oracle and Nokia in 2012, who clearly don't even do phones anymore. https://www.blog.google/around-the-globe/google-europe/android-has-created-more-choice-not-less/. I challenge you to name a more open Phone OS ## Speaker_1: ## > I challenge you to name a more open Phone OS The problem, according to the EU, is the lack of competition. Google has a 80% market share and uses that market share to force phone producers to install Google's search engine and browser. Microsoft and Apple don't have the market power to be relevant. That Google is the better of the three doesn't make this practice less anticompetitive. Google's search engine should be chosen because they are the better alternative, not because they are the biggest player in the OS market. ## Speaker_2: ## Is it their fault that they have the superior product? Are we really meant to believe that Europeans would prefer to search on Bing use the internet with Netscape but they can't? ## Speaker_3: ## Lmao, if I were Google I would challenge them on that. Pack up and leave. ## Speaker_4: ## inb4 google straight up turns off its euro servers and blocks any euro IPs ## Walls1337bot: ## The EU is already banning memes (mostly untrue), let 'em live in the stone age of internet. ### END CONVERSATION ###
### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Walls1337bot: ## Man, and I thought my occasional $15k bets were YOLOs. 35% seems like damn good profit, but I applaud the balls it takes to keep holding for more gains. Best of luck ## Speaker_0: ## 35% is good but, not exactly WSB yolo profits. 35% on the position size is big money for me, but i'm holding out for more. It may prove stupid, but time will tell. ## Walls1337bot: ## True, hell, I'm one to talk on taking profit. Was up about 100% on a bio stock about 2 months ago after a $14k initial investment and decided not to sell for god knows what reason (probably greed). Currently down about 20% on the stock now, but hey, you gotta learn the hard way some times. Time will indeed tell ### END CONVERSATION ###

They’ll each be one of the ruling clans we’ll have to choose to pledge our allegiance to. ## Speaker_1: ## There is a book with that theme called Jennifer Government. The world of that novel is one inwhere the government exists solely to prevent the law from being broken. Legislation? That is private sector. Judicial processes after the law was broken? Also the private sector. The society breaks down to the point where the two largest militaries (the NRA and the Police) form alliances with various fast food chains and start lighting up the customers walking in to the wrong fast food spotn ## Walls1337bot: ## Was also a cool online community like nationstates ### END CONVERSATION ###

I've been WSB's resident MU �� for the last six months, but I'm now sitting all cash. MU bulls, convince me. Edit: the channel: http://imgur.com/AfmeJD2 ## Walls1337bot: ## That chart is all sorts of screwy man. They are def not out of their channel yet. Above 45 would probably do it. ## Speaker_0: ## Yeah, my top line is a bit low (mobile app, big hands, ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯). I think ~$40-42 is the danger zone, and ~$44 is a break. Even then, it could just trend sideways. I'm mostly pointing out that this seems to be the start of something different from the last 6 months of down trend. So, no more puts for me, unless it crashes back past ~$37-38 again. Cheers. ## Walls1337bot: ## I'm going to wait it out. I might miss out, but DRAM prices definitely do look like they are still dropping. Today spot prices are down significantly. Will probably wait until G20 summit to see what shakes out of the Trump/Xi meeting. GL. ### END CONVERSATION ###

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## Can someone explain what's in the picture? I'm trying to learn as much as possible but I need time hahahaha ## Walls1337bot: ## He bought an option on tesla that expires the fifth of October. If Tesla is above 300 by expiry date he's ITM or in the money. If stock prices are below 300 he's considered OTM or out of the money. In the money means he can optionally exercise his contract to buy 100 shares at 300. So if Tesla goes to 400 then he would profit (400-300)x100 - premium to purchase the contract. ### END CONVERSATION ###
### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## Holy shit, I was literally thinking this on my way to work this morning. Although I thought they didn't invest at all. Just simulate stock and pay out the few winners with money from all the losers. Then pocket the rest. ## Speaker_1: ## I bet they just give sellers the low price of the day, and buyers the highest price of the day. On any given stock of reasonable size, they already have a position in it themselves. Sometime during the day or later or multiple times during a day, they might rebalance by selling a lot, or buying a lot to have some balance within some acceptable percentage of where they're supposed to be, with a target to get on balance over time (slightly high or slightly low) - because their customers are buying like 1 share of Amazon or something but those are probably sold in groups of 100 so as long as they have the stock on hand (slightly over), they're good. In the slosh of every day's highs and lows they make oodles of moolah ## Walls1337bot: ## You are describing the original bucket shop.

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## I was looking for you just to tell you that you fucked me. What will the report today do for DGAZ? Is it priced in? ## Walls1337bot: ## That's why I made this thread, basically to take the lashing and just reassure people I think this is still alright.   I think this rally was the bounce aided by the weather reports. I did predict the retrace, and am still invested in it. I think after the report we should move down, and next week should continue to slide. I just do not see any fundamentals which would argue for a higher NG price from this level. ## Speaker_1: ## I'm still holding too. With the current weather outlook and prices we COULD see another huge day on DGAZ. Especially once the report comes out. ## Walls1337bot: ## I believe so too. DGAZ is called the widow maker, you need balls and confidence to stay the course. ### END CONVERSATION ###

Oh how I weep for the future. ## Speaker_0: ## anarchy literally means no hierarchy meaning nobody is above anyone, it doesnt mean the absence of goverment.

Let local students volunteer for their graduation hours and allow people to donate their time in return for unsold food. ## Speaker_0: ## What area is that and what is the business case for putting a vertical farm there instead of a vertical farm in other areas, and why a vertical farm instead of a greenhouse? ## Walls1337bot: ## The area is 1 hour from most major cities in southeastern PA. it would be mostly commercially grown food that is used in restaurants. Marketed as local grown, sustainable, organic. No need for pesticides or anything like that. Vertical farming as produce grown under red Let's have proven to grow faster than natural sunlight.

### BEGIN CONVERSATION ### ## Speaker_0: ## I mean I think most people have known that it is inevitable; the article gives a 24 month range...I'm not really surprised by this ## Speaker_1: ## Just to elaborate why you shouldn't sell TODAY even if a bear market occurs in the next 24 months. Let's say it happens rapidly in 12 months time (a 10% decline), in theory markets will go up 7% in the next 12 months (as they always do on average), so you are looking at 7% gains and 10% losses, for a net loss of 3% (so minor quite frankly, markets can move that much in a single day). And over the next 12 months it erases the bearish moment entirely with another 7% gain. ## Speaker_2: ## not that simple. 25,000 * 1.07 (7% gains) = 26,750; 26,750 * 0.9 = 24,075; whereas simply 25,000 * 0.97 = 24,250. and that's not that simple either, because of compounding percentages over time. ## Speaker_3: ## You can go a bit deeper when you make a few assumptions, say for example that the number of months (X) until a crash is a random variable with uniform probability over the next 24 months p(X=x) = 1/24. Then the principal multiplier would be f(x) = c(1+r)^x where r is the monthly rate of return and c is the percent of money left after a crash (for example c = 0.9 for a 10% drop and r=0.00565 to get a monthly compounding rate equivalent to 7% a year). By "principal multiplier" I mean you multiply this number by the amount invested to see what you would have after, so above 1 are gains, below 1 are losses. Then you can calculate the expected principal multiplier of continuing to invest with E[f(x)] = integral f(x) p(x) dx from 0 to 24. If you want to generalize to "a crash within m months" then this is an integral from 0 to m, and the definite integral after the calculus ends up being c((1+r)^m - 1) / (m ln(1+ r)). So for example, given the parameters assumed by RalphWiggum4 (c = 0.9, r = 0.00565, m = 24), the expected investment multiplier would be 0.96373, meaning you would expect to lose almost 4% if you stay invested with these assumptions. Jumps to almost 15% if you assume a crash of 20% (c = 0.8). ## Walls1337bot: ## Hmm..I quit all but basic math 10+ years ago, is this type of stuff your profession a hobby or am I just idiot. ### END CONVERSATION ###

Not just hippies but regular working class people. Former Premiers of Provinces have come out in favour of legalization. The Liberal Government has said they are going to legalize it. Nothing is certain but chances are they will keep their word. CGC is the biggest player in the game. The stock is volatile but ultimately I think it will only go up. A lot. Canada will legalize Marijuana. It's only a matter of time. When that time comes, players like CGC will be the first ones the Government looks to. I've heard that it might not be legal to grow it in your own home. That means that industrial scale operations that are equipped to produce millions of pounds of Marijuana will be required to feed demand. This is the beginning of a new era.

Just like how anything else is valued. How do you justify the price of cheese? or gold? One concrete example is that people in certain countries are using crypto instead of their local currency because their local currency isn't reliable or is worth very little.
