50/50 BRK/QQQ portfolio outperformed the S&P in 2017 tho
## Speaker_0: ##
It has, and I ran a backtest and it's beaten it since 1999, but performance =/= diversified.
If I were one of his "rich people" I'd be pissed if a guy was charging me fees for buying two stocks.
If you are going to be that lazy, you might as well just buy AAPL. That's beaten the BRKB/QQQ portfolio by 200%.
Also this guy is forgetting how risk/return works.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Oh I’m with you, “diversified” is a joke...just pointing out that his strategy has worked relatively well.
On the other hand, if people are willing to pay him fees for the level of effort he’s putting in, I think he’d be dumb not to take them. Lol
## Speaker_0: ##
Ironically perhaps, he would have been better off going 50/50 with SPY and BRKB than QQQ and BRKB
P1 is just SPY
P2 is BRKB/QQQ

Multiple neuroscientific studies have concluded that you are incorrect. At least with regard to people being treated for ADHD.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3801446/
"The meta-regression analysis with long-term stimulant medication use showed that the percentage of patients on long-term stimulant medication correlated significantly with increasing activation in the right caudate tail (r = 0.233, permutation-derived P < .001), so that medication-naive patients had significantly reduced activation compared with healthy controls (z = 2.149, P < .001) and with long-term medicated patients (z = 1.646, P < .001), who did not differ from each other (Figure 3)."
http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapsychiatry/fullarticle/1485446
"Our review of structural and functional neuroimaging studies finds no evidence that stimulant treatment negatively impacts brain development or function. In contrast, these studies suggest that stimulant treatment attenuates the brain abnormalities that have been associated with ADHD."
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1600-0447.2011.01786.x/abstract;jsessionid=C780E5BA97F80D44A4F67CBC02B184C0.f02t01
"Basal ganglia regions like the right globus pallidus, the right putamen, and the nucleus caudatus are structurally affected in children with ADHD. These changes and alterations in limbic regions like ACC and amygdala are more pronounced in non-treated populations and seem to diminish over time from child to adulthood. Treatment seems to have positive effects on brain structure."

But seriously, I know a momentum strat HF manager that uses the same plus volume, and he uses an algo to conduct trades. He believes the key to long-term success is to never risk more than 50% of liquid assets since you can still recover. Might be a decent strat for you to use.

I mean to be fair he said he needs the money in less than 2 years. If he actually needs *all* of the money then a CD is really the right option. Especially at the markets current valuation.

Not straight short stock, or buy puts/sell naked calls or whatever you want to see as "normal" shorting of a company, but surely through some sort of *exotic* derivative a bank could essentially short itself.

## Speaker_2: ##
Might if you are in finland, otherwise you get bonuses for doing it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
It seems like if the bank is big enough you have an incentive to make reckless gambles. Bigger the better. It can’t be big enough that it would destroy the bank, it needs to be bigger; big enough that it would actually cause a once a generation recession if the gamble doesn’t work.
So yes, I’m sure not only would they not get in trouble but they would use tax payer funded bailout to get bonuses. By they I mean the executives; the poor folks that actually execute the plan will get fired, which I guess is probably better than jail.

Lol, how’s your electric vehicle program going there Ford? No one is going to want to buy an ICE vehicle in 5 years when it loses 90% of it’s value the second you drive it off the lot.
By the way, anyone want to buy a used pager off of me?
## Speaker_1: ##
Do electric engines not depreciate in the same manner? Or just current demand for the supply of this meme?
## Speaker_0: ##
Nope. Because of there being less moving parts electric motors can work for crazy long times, and because of Tesla’s advanced cell chemistry and battery temperature control the batteries don’t depreciate their capacity as fast like our cellphone batteries do. 1.6 million Kilometre warranties baby! (But this should be true for any manufacturer making EVs)
But the real reason ICEs are going to lose value so fast is when they reach the “tipping point” in public perception. If you’re in the market for a 45,000$ truck today, you have a good idea that it will have *some* trade in value 5 years from now. However, at some point everyone will realize EVs are taking over, and it buying a brand new ICE vehicle won’t make a lot of sense. At some point car dealers won’t be able to *give* ICE xars away. Tony Seba does a really good presentation on this that you can find on youtube. His timeline is 2022 for the tipping point, but who knows. (Norway just hit theirs BTW, over 50% new vehicles being sold their are EVs)
## Walls1337bot: ##
You are WAYYYYY underestimating the effort it takes to establish the local, state, and federal level of battery charging infrastructure needed to actually DD an electric vehicle around the US. So many layers of every part of our democracy.
Until we reach both the availability of charging stations as well as the same recharge time VS filling up a gas tank, this 'tipping point' where we all decide to just go electric is decades off.

I'm not against all electric vehicles at all, but you either need to be able to store a week's worth of driving in an 8 hour charge, or you need to be able to fill up your battery as fast as a gas tank.
Everyone talking about this 'oh just fill up at night when you are sleeping'. People work odd hours or on call or driving 400+ miles a day at random times, living in huge apartment complexes where you can't just run a 300' cable out your 4th floor window to your car.

Just read your posts on IamA. Do you realize how lucky you were? Your rationale:
>Why I bought a crazy amount of S&P-based options: Congress passed a bill slashing corporate tax rates in December. The last time corporate taxes were reduced so much was back in 1986. So I looked at how the market reacted at the beginning of 1987 and saw a huge spike in the S&P 500 in the first quarter.
So you dropped 100k on calls and then miraculously sold at the end of January before the biggest pullback we've seen in the SPX in 2 years?
I'm not hating, good for you, but your rationale was 100% off. When you sold, most of the tax benefit hadn't even been realized yet and Q1 was far from over for most of the S&P 500. Had you held to realize the full Q1 benefits you predicted, you would have lost everything.
Good job, but don't get cocky. You could have done the same with roulette.
## Speaker_1: ##
I was absolutely lucky. But my rationale was that the market would go up a lot in the short term and then drop at a point I couldn't predict, so I bought a ton of calls and sold them on the way up. Turned out decently well. I did think the dip was still a couple months off, but since there was no way to know I was happy taking profits in January.
Still had a chunk of options when February hit so I got whacked pretty hard on paper, but I can't really cry about it.
## Speaker_2: ##
How much did you get to keep after taxes?
## Speaker_1: ##
Don't think I'll know for sure until next year but I did have to write a huge check for Q1 estimated.
## Speaker_2: ##
At least Texas has no state income tax. My state isn’t bad but I’d still probably pay 49% or so on short term gains of that size; you’re probably looking at around 42%ish
## Speaker_1: ##
New top tax rate is 37%. Throw in the net investment income tax and it's 40.8%.
Since this was SPX, though, 60% gets treated as long term gains no matter how long it's held for (i.e. 20% tax rate + 3.8% NIIT).
## Speaker_2: ##
Why does SPX get treated that way
## Speaker_1: ##
IRS treats it like trading futures which get special tax treatment. It's why I go SPX over SPY.

## Speaker_0: ##
I still can't believe it was rated R. Show Girls was more tame than that movie and it got NC 17
## Speaker_1: ##
I remember the South Park guys talking about how they threw in a bunch of extra cursing and overall degeneracy in the first submission of the South Park movie so that they could "fix it" after getting an NC-17 rating and release the movie as they intended. Movie ratings, like any other system, can be manipulated.
## Speaker_2: ##
The exact same thing happened with [Wolf of Wall Street](https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/wolf-wall-street-avoids-nc-660653). Scorsese pulled the same trick he used for Casino. The versions released are the ones he wanted to begin with.
## Speaker_3: ##
What's so bad about NC 17 that Scorsese wanted to avoid it so badly?
## Speaker_2: ##
It's release suicide. Some festivals refuse to screen them. Most US theaters refuse to screen them; those that do take them won't allow anyone under 18 in, parents or no, killing the huge market of teens. Google Play refuses to carry them. Redbox refuses to rent them. Walmart won't carry them, save a few exceptions.
In reality, it's a stupid rating that only exists because of prudish pearl-clutchers screaming "think of the children." Mainly only certain indie or foreign films will accept the rating without recutting to R
## Speaker_3: ##
Ah I finally got it. I didn't know that NC 17 is even a higher level than R. So he overdid the inappropriate part, just for the purpose of cutting back and getting rated R instead of NC 17? That's genius. But now I want to see the deleted sex part.
Thanks a lot!
## Speaker_2: ##
Exactly! Marty adds a bunch of super graphic sex scenes he knows no theater would ever show, gives it to the MPAA and gets NC-17, then just resubmits the original cut and gets the R. They're just happy he got rid of the worst stuff.
If I had to guess the parts they cut were probably extended sequences with the hookers throughout the movie.

Have had many discussions on this topic with other analysts and we all agree that our behavior has become a lot more defensive towards women at the office. We all follow a set of unspoken rules to prevent any possibility of a female coworker "crying wolf" for an unforeseen reason.
## Speaker_1: ##
What kind of behaviors do you guys have to do now? Genuinely curious.
## Speaker_0: ##
I think, if anything, I have become much more self-conscious about my interactions with female co-workers out of fear that a 'hello' accompanied by a smile might be interpreted wrongly and could spell disaster for me.
My rules (please bare in mind that I am a junior at my company aka not in a position of 'power')
1) no 1 on 1 meetings in a room with a closed door (ie. I have purposefully re-scheduled meetings with female interns/co-analysts to large glass-walled conference rooms)
2) no compliments on attire (ie. no complements on a sharp looking blazer, or a neat pair of shoes)
3) stand on opposite sides while in an elevator and look at my phone (pretty sure I do this anyways)
4) never be left alone with a female client or co-worker during/at the end of happy hour events or business related dinners
5) avoid physical contact at all costs (ie. no hugs over celebrating accomplishments at happy hours or congratulating someone on their promotion)
6) avoid asking questions that aren't directly related to business at all costs (ie. might ask my male co-analysts what they did this weekend, but I would never do this nowadays with female co-analysts)
7) if there are additional seats open in a meeting, never choose a seat adjacent to a female co-worker
## Speaker_2: ##
I think 1, 4, and 5 are the right thing to do. The rest I see as a complete over-reaction IMO. But eh, do what you have to do.
## Walls1337bot: ##

I think this is different than FB and definitely an overreaction. The hit EPS dead on, and just "lost" some users: they banned fake accounts. They say it's to improve the platform long-term and I'm with them on this one.
Also, I feel like a lot of people are using Twitter again. And the company has $32B market cap, compared to FB 510B (yeah, I get that Twitter isn't gonna be as high as FB anytime soon, but I still think for what it is, it's lower valued than Facebook after the drop).
## Speaker_1: ##
This isn’t different from Facebook at all. Facebook didn’t miss any of its numbers by much either. The problem was forward growth.
Twitter can make any excuses it wants but it has no evidence to show that it’s growing even if it didn’t address the fake accounts. These companies, especially twitter, have the valuations they have because they’re expected to wildly grow. Couple that with the fact that it’s barely eeking out a profit and FB looks like a shining star in comparison.
## Speaker_0: ##
Well, if I look at my friends: nobody uses facebook anymore (not counting Whatsapp and some Instagram), but everyone starts using twitter. Idk, I'd rather be long TWTR than FB, but we'll see.
## Speaker_2: ##
Yea your problem is not counting Instgram and WhatsApp. Both have over a billion users and are growing considerably.
So while FB is maturing in terms of growth the other 2 still have plenty room to run.
## Speaker_0: ##
Whatsapp makes no money, Facebook is pretty much dead, and Instagram...yeah thats maybe where the money's at. Doesn't change my mind about TWTR though, I still think it's "less overvalued" than FB.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Twitter doesn't make money either, relatively speaking, and they are going to have a lot of the same issues fb has with regards to user security and enforcement costs.

I know all Bernie's supporters are millennials, but given that the guy is old as fuck how does he not remember the S&L failures?

I think you’re seriously overestimating Bernie’s knowledge and intelligence. This dude was jobless and couch surfing until Fucking 40 years old. He left NYC at the age of 18. Who the fuck leaves that city at the age of 18? Never owned shit or managed wealth in his life until [*no refunds*]. After running the liberty union to the ground by spending all the money, then became a mayor because his burned out best friend who was the mayor before told everyone to vote for him against incumbent and By some miracle managed to fuck enough unwashed hippies and convince all the communist and Marxist groups in his state to endorse him, literally got all the Welfare offices and commi college professors to shill for him, and become mayor by 10 fucking votes. The rest is basically a repeat of what I said up to the house and the senate

His wife literally bankrupted a local college my sister used to work when she was president.

## Walls1337bot: ##
> Kind of nice to have others know how big of a POS a politician is even if they haven't been directly fucked by them.
Is his wife a politician? Bc if not, then I'm not sure why you would call bernie a pos for something his wife did. Would be like blaming bill for Hilary being a pretentious entitled cunt or blaming Melania for Trump being the most unintelligent and blatantly corrupt president of all time.
## Speaker_5: ##
Lmao are you serious. If a politician who is running for president's SO has a proven track of gross ineptitude in a position of power, of course that reflects poorly back on the candidate. She would be in even more of a position of power.
And the obvious point here is that they're both terrible with money. Do you know how many times Bernie has tried and failed to pass single payer healthcare in Vermont due to lack of funding, only to move on and campaign on it on a Federal level? I mean the guy can't even pass a fraction of the shit he's preaching in the smallest and most liberal state in the country. He knows that what he's promising can never be funded yet that's his entire M.O.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> of course that reflects poorly back on the candidate
If Bernie is a POS for things his wife did, then that speaks beyond poorly for trump or whatever retarded politician you support, seeing as how there's probably an encyclopedias worth of things that THEY and not their SO, has fucked up. I don't agree with everything Bernie has said but there isn't a single politician you can put up against him who you can say is less corrupt, more honest, has a better track record for decision making, or is more for the people than he is. There's a reason he was voted the most popular senator last year and the only one that he majority of Americans actually liked.
> And the obvious point here is that they're both terrible with money
Yet he's still better than any other politician I see trying to manage money. How many times did trump declare bankruptcy, again? How much tax fraud is he about to be charged with in nyc? How much was that small loan he got from his parents that turned out to be closer to half a billion dollars? Where're his tax returns? How many trillions did the GOP just run the deficit up? Why is trump about to spend 18 billion in tax payer money for a fucking useless wall that cartels and human traffickers will just tunnel under?
> I mean the guy can't even pass a fraction of the shit he's preaching in the smallest and most liberal state in the country.
He's sponsored 3 passed bills and his name is on 200+ that he's cosponsored and have passed. which doesn't sound like much until you compare it to Hilary who's passed 16 sponsored and has 77 that she cosponsored that have passed. Compared to 3 bills that Paul Ryan has sponsored and 83 cosponsored and zero from trump before he became president.
Regardless, the amount of legislation passed isn't even a quality measure of productivity or effectiveness. Things like the amount of meetings held, track record of voting, language presented written/altered/modified, committee positions, and constituents helped are all way better measures of quality. Since you're making the acqusation of him being a terrible politician, the burden of proof lies on you to provide those numbers in comparison to whoever you support. Hmu when you get all of that, until then just stop talking because nothing you say is valid.
> He knows that what he's promising can never be funded yet that's his entire M.O.
Except it's funded by many other 1st world countries already, countries with way less money than us, and has been for years.

Mnuchin's position is he wants them privatized. However, that is different than saying the government agency controlling them is unconstitutional. TSY is using the courts to vacate the NWS.
Mnuchin can say lots of things. Anyone can. However, this is an action. He (or the lawyers at UST) have acted to unravel the FHFA.

If we're talking Perry... That's not finalized. It's stayed until [en banc review](https://twitter.com/JaredALevine/status/845325687078748160) is granted or denied.
That was filed on Friday.
> With the more brutal sell-offs from their highs for prefs compared to the commons, do you think they have more room to run
Honestly, I have no idea. I just don't get involved in the day to day price movement. Obviously, this sub is concerned with that. I was banking on a quick court win. However, I was willing to wait it out since the underlying thesis is still the same.
Preferreds are going to par (+/- normal market conditions) and common are going to be diluted due to the warrants or possibly further due to capital raises in conjunction with preferreds being offered an opportunity to convert to common at a beneficial rate (to clean up the capital structure [i.e. 1 share of $25 preferred would get like 10 to 15 shares of common if there was an offer.])

This is why the market has been volatile lately.
Look at the facts, Robinhood introduces options trading for free for hundreds of thousands of people with no education, experience, or money to be able to trade options freely.
Market begins to fluctuate wildly in both up and down moves up to 2-3% in the indexes on a daily basis, just days after Robinhood allows options to be traded.
Stay #woke
## Speaker_1: ##
And? What's the problem here? These scrubs have the side effect of creating higher volatility.. so those of us who know what the fuck we're doing will see larger swings to the upside at their cost. This free options model has been brilliant so far; the strong thriving on the weak.
## Speaker_2: ##

This pretty much sums up most of the loyal democrats that were forced to vote for Hilary.
## Speaker_1: ##
I refused to vote. It my be a mistake in the end but it should teach those stupid fucking Democrats to not blindly follow a machine. Fuck Hillary.
## Speaker_2: ##
I hate this sentiment, I voted on over 20 things on my ballot and only one was the presidential candidate. State representatives, judges in some states, statewide measures, local measures all get voted on. These are really things that will impact your life and the lives around you more than any one president. Don't sit all that shit out cuz you don't like the big candidates.
## Speaker_1: ##
Well her defunding the states campaign money was what did this damage. And if I have any regret, it's not voting on a state level.
But if it was any other Democrat I would have went and voted and indirectly voted dem all the way down. Still Hillary's fault.
Edit: I haven't changed the message above. But for everyone who hasn't noticed the second sentence please dont glance over that. So far have had like 10 messages saying I should have voted for state level candidates, after I clearly stated that I regret not doing so. Stay classy.

Look, having nuclear—my uncle was a great professor and scientist and engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart—you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I'm one of the smartest people anywhere in the world—it’s true!—but when you're a conservative Republican they try—oh, do they do a number—that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, went there, did this, built a fortune—you know I have to give my like credentials all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged—but you look at the nuclear deal, the thing that really bothers me—it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (nuclear is powerful; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the power and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the power of what's going to happen and he was right—who would have thought?), but when you look at what's going on with the four prisoners—now it used to be three, now it’s four—but when it was three and even now, I would have said it's all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don't, they haven’t figured that the women are smarter right now than the men, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years—but the Persians are great negotiators, the Iranians are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.
## Speaker_2: ##
Cherry picking? Nice. I’m pretty sure Albert Einstein said some stupid shit in his life, that doesn’t mean he’s an idiot.
I’d genuinely like you to explain why, other than cherry picking certain sentences, you think Trump is an idiot and/or a bad president.
He literally just fucking denuclearized North Korea two days ago - something no other president was able to do. He’s also passed a massive tax cut to American households, and he’s ramping up border security to keep Americans safe - from banning Muslims to increasing southern border security. What did Obama do in his first two years as president? Oh that’s right - nothing, other than a disastrous healthcare bill which caused premiums to to skyrocket for millions of Americans.

Act (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STOCK_Act), that prevents insider trading........then they quietly amendment it [(Passed in 14 seconds)](http://www.reuters.com/article/net-us-usa-congress-security-idUSBRE93B0ZJ20130412) to essentially continue what they where doing before.

## Walls1337bot: ##
Lmao, you're delusional.
Let me get this straight:
You made $1 million last year between job/trading so you quit your job.
You trade with ALL of the money you have to your name.
You somehow don't remember to pay taxes on the money you made.
You realize you owe 200k in taxes but have lost 50% of your value by March so panic and go back to a full time job (really "worked out" there for three months...)
Over the next 6 months you get your value over $1 million again TWICE, but at no point think that it would be a good idea to pay your $200k in taxes.
And then your account goes totally bust by the beginning of October.
Now you're not only broke but stupidly in debt.
You said you average 200k from your job.
It will take you years to come even close to breaking even and you're so delusional about your own behavior you'll probably make the same mistakes over and over (TRADING WITH ALL OF MY MONEY, NOT STUPID GUYS!)
Congrats on making a fat MILLION in 2017, though.

$4.58 is the price per contract at the time he took the screenshot. The equation to find out how much he invested should be Equity ($22.9K)- Total Return

Not really the same since his Victoria’s Secret company looked nothing like the successful company that you see today. It’s the equivalent of if you sold Nokia the tank company and saw the cellphone company take off and then kill yourself. Like yeah that same company is worth way more now but you would have never gotten the company there on your own.
## Speaker_3: ##
To add to your point, if he owned 10% of Nike, that ownership would have been diluted several times in the run up to Nike being what it is today. Mergers, acquisitions, financing rounds, all change equity stakes.
## Speaker_4: ##
Not to mention 100k back then to a basketball player was huge.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Adjusted for inflation, it’s over $500K today.

You wouldn't steal a FD. You wouldn't steal a tendie. Downloading pirated software is stealing. Stealing is against the law. Piracy. It's a crime.
