“I’m not uncertain” - every Wall Street banker prior to making a trade
## Speaker_1: ##
I had to stop watching that show, the writing just got too bad. It always came off like a dumb person's idea of how smart people talk, but it's been especially bad this season.
I don't work in finance (yet), but I'm pretty sure people don't randomly quote the Epic of Gilgamesh and shit like that, and everyone around them instantly knows what they're talking about. So cringey.
edit: not even my adoration of Paul Giamatti could keep me going

China with homogeneous population, is prolly worse for UAL than Asian Americans.
## Speaker_1: ##
China has several major languages/language groups that are as different from one another as Spanish is to French or Italian. It has hundreds of millions of non-Han people in over 50 different (recognized) ethnic groups, not to mention expats and foreigners there for work who increasingly marry into Chinese families. Then you have to account for HK/Hainan/Macau and the Taiwan issue, all of which are complex.
China is not really a homogeneous country, though it is often thought of as such. Even a small ethnic group in China could be millions of people.
I'm working on a PhD related to China, if you have any questions or want more info.

New update posted
## Walls1337bot: ##
What are you going to day trade with the extra money you deposit? What is your strategy?
## Speaker_0: ##
I'm not fully sure yet. Looking for some feedback. I'm thinking maybe a retail stock or Square. How should I divide up the 8k I have to day trade with? 4k in currently in Stitch. The other 4k...should I put it all in one stock? Or 2k in 2 different stocks? I am open to hearing opinions/suggestions.
## Speaker_1: ##
>I am open to hearing opinions/suggestions.
If you really believed in SFIX a few days ago and bought it at over 22/share, it is cheap now and you should buy more. All in today and you'll break even at around 20/share. Ask yourself, if you aren't selling your current lot now, that means you are confident that it will go up. Which means you should buy more.
## Speaker_0: ##
I don't see a long term future for Stitch Fix. I think the company is a dumb idea. I thought it was a quick way to make some quick money, the stock was usually between $25-$30. I thought grabbing it at $22 was a steal and it clearly was not. I wanted to sell it the next day, but the price dropped. I shouldn't have invested in it. I didn't take my own advice, it's a new company not a stable company. I do believe Stitch Fix will rebound past the $22 I paid for it, but it might take a few weeks. It's a very volatile stock. I can't wait to have my capital back.
​
I put 3k in MGM Resorts today. Hopefully I can make a quick profit from that tomorrow.
## Walls1337bot: ##
He's absolutely right though. If you're certain that SFIX will recover to $22, you should actually buy $4k more at $18, which will make your breakeven price even lower, meaning you can get out faster.
Do you understand? (asking you seriously; this is an important concept)
## Speaker_0: ##
I want to day trade, I don't want to hold onto a stock that takes weeks to get back up to the price I bought it for. Why would I do that?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Here's how it works:
You currently have $4K in SFIX at $22.15 so let's call it 180 shares.
If you buy $4k more worth of SFIX at $18.50, you'll have an additional 216 shares.
So now instead of an average share price of $22.15, you have an average share price of $20.20 and can break even selling at that price.
For the math:
Current: $4,000 cost basis at $22.15 average share price * 180 shares
Projected $8,000 cost basis at $20.20 average share price * 396 shares
If you are only willing to sell SFIX at your breakeven point and are convinced it will come back up, your best course of action based on those assumptions is to buy more now in order to be able to sell at a lower breakeven share price.
Make sense?
## Speaker_0: ##
Down $3.82. How fucking long is this stock going to take to pop back up there? Fucking bullshit. I can't believe I chose such a dumb stock.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The stock is not dumb. The dumb (inexperienced) thing was going against your original strategy and not immediately selling the next morning at a small loss.
I’ll repeat what I said before:
Even the very best traders lose on trades sometimes! But they get out of losers fast.
You need to accept your losses if they come as a result of your trading rules. If you can’t do that, you are going to trade emotionally and lose everything.
The worst thing that could have happened to you was making so much money the first day. It convinced you that it will always be that easy, and now you’ve lost almost $1,000 by being undisciplined.
Pull your money out at a loss and take some time to create a strategy and a more disciplined, planned approach to trading.

## Speaker_0: ##
I wasn't really around in 2008... when the markets crashed did people realize why or were they as clueless as we are now?

They are always clueless, its not till the next day or a few days later when the analyst come out and say what they think caused it.
## Speaker_0: ##
hmm fuck so there could be an actual real permanent reason for this and we are just too retarded to see it? that kinda sucks damn
## Walls1337bot: ##
This sub is something else. I have to unsubscribe after today and you guys should too if you’re serious at all about your money. When this sub first started a few years ago there were actually a couple people on here who knew what they were talking about. Now it is completely full of retards who shitpost memes any never actually help anyone out or try to learn. You all will learn nothing here.
Anyways, of fucking course there is a reason for this, as usual all you have to do is look. It’s the same reasons that have been apparent issues since the beginning of January. It is 2018. Interest rates are going up, the 10yr is sitting at 2.8% after moving up from 2.2% to 2.4% and will almost assuredly be at 3% or higher by next month, and central banks around the world have laid out their plans to tighten. This is really shitty for equities. Also, most (all) of this is directly related to the fact that most people are finally starting to see that real inflation is on the way. The jobs report last Friday was just the beginning.
It’s fucking basic stuff guys but to see everyone on here saying “oh shit nooo why wutever could this be?!?!?” It’s just really eye opening. This will continue. The high reached in Jan of this year will be the peak of the bull market. It was a really, really fucking good run, but it’s over.

This feels like its disrespectful to the guy who committed suicide too. Like everyone is just having fun making fun of Logan Paul but no one really cares about the respect for the dead part. Just doesnt feel much different from the shock value culture he is in trouble for participating in.
## Speaker_1: ##
Here's a secret. Most people don't really give a fuck about the dead. People saw an opportunity to lampoon that YouTube douche and pounced on it. The guy who killed himself obviously didn't respect himself so why should he become a revered figure just because he's dead? Kind of a bleak, matter of fact way to put it but I don't think I'm incorrect saying it.
## Speaker_2: ##
Here we see the /r/iamverysmart subject in his natural habitat.
See here, how he proclaims to know what "most people" think, with no actual basis for his claim.
And to further show his arrogance, he implies that the man who killed himself had no self respect, so he shouldn't be "revered". This shows that he A) is incapable of empathizing with someone who is depressed/suicidal, and B) thinks that showing common decency for the dead and their loved ones is tantamount to "revering" them.
Such a rare treat to witness this.

I always want to take part in this sub, but the problem is I am retarded and don't know what this means, other than this dude just lost $8,660.
Here's what I think happened can someone please tell me if I am right or stupid:
This guy buys 20 contracts, which are 100 stocks each, so 2000 stocks.
Because he gets them through options he doesn't pay as much as he would if he bought them all regularly, but now he can either multiply his gains or straight up eat dick for dinner if it goes down.
Options expire at a certain date. I don't really understand what happens at that point.
He guessed MU would go up by a certain date, and it did not.
I don't get what the "$0.2800" means or the "$2.91" means. Can someone explain?
## Speaker_0: ##
My dude, I admire your desire to learn. Do yourself a favor and don't try to learn about options on r/wsb. Go to YouTube, look up OptionAlpha or TastyTrade and watch every fucking video - especially on IV. Do this for 2 months before you enter a trade. I did all that, got a master's in financial math, my thesis project was on implementation of an option pricing method using dynamic programming, and still managed to lose 80% of my gains in the last 3 years because I bought into the r/wsb hype of meme stocks. Disregard everything I just said. Don't fucking trade options. NORAGRETS.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Oh I don't want to DO this shit, I just want to understand these posts so I can truly appreciate them. I don't have the "fuck you" money to take that kind of risk and be able to sleep at night.

## Speaker_1: ##
Don't do what OP of this thread did, but DO THIS SHIT.
And here is why. YOLO, I know it is a meme throwing around here, but you REALLY only have one life to live. If you don't do this now, when are you going to do it? But manage the risk like a hawk, with 12K, buy 300 shares of BAC and write covered call 2 months out, and use that proceed to buy call options and join us in our FDs for virtually free. And if you were to do Visa or GS or MS or BAC call options at any point during the last month, you are 4x your money easily.
I own 2 shares of GS for virtually free for the rest of my life by winning GS call options play. Loss a TON too, but buy actually shares from call wins.
## Walls1337bot: ##
See this is why I want to learn, I understand like a quarter of what you just said lol. I'm going to YOLO eventually but I'm not going to fuck up my pretty comfortable life while doing it.

Shorting - the brokerage sells shares of a stock you don't own and gives you the $$ value of that sale. Then you have to buy the shares back for them to 'cover'

We also have mechanisms by which anyone who is able to put away any amount of money is able to benefit from the economic growth perpetuated by those "wall street fat cats". Not to say that wall street is without it's problems, but if you have a bank account and an internet connection you can build wealth in a way that was never possible a few hundred years ago.

This actually seems like a good idea, you're not going to get margin called, 4% is easy to beat with a relatively tame strategy (hell just buy QQQ and wait). Collect the difference between return and the loan interest and you've made good money using none of your own.

This is where no margin calls are a beautiful thing. You still own the underlying asset, just sit tight and cry yourself to sleep every night until it recovers.
It's not a loss until you sell
## Speaker_2: ##
its not a loss until you sell, but you still need the income off of the investments to be more than the loan payments.
if its not than it is a loss, each and every loan payment date you cant make.

Not gonna lie, and I know this is only a small snippet, but so far it doesn't sound like the prosecutors really have a good case (so far). I haven't seen too many details of the case but I thought we'd see some more slam dunk evidence.
On the other hand, this is some difficult stuff to prove in a way and it just started.
Anybody think the opposite? I'd be interested to hear thoughts on why he's guilty.
## Speaker_1: ##
totally agree . Especially with most fraud cases the investors are the 1s that lost alot of money hence the fraud but as Shkreli has said himseld, ALL his investors got out with a shittonne more money thn what they invested. He even quoted 1 of the investors made 4x. Also emphasizing he only got paid 18k for 5 years of running the company
## Speaker_0: ##
Yea, the fact some of his clients made money makes this all sound really odd. Like, don't most people lose their money in Ponzi/fraud schemes?! Isn't that the point? Maybe they just thought his quirkiness made him seem untrustworthy, but I'm gonna have to see more evidence to believe he's guilty of defrauding investors.
## Speaker_2: ##
Where the hell are you guys all getting the idea that ALL of his investors made money? Some of them lost money. Hence why many are suing him. That's how all these schemes work. Anyone familiar with the "big four" from Madoffs scheme? They walked away with billions. Primarily because they knew he was running a scheme and had Bernie hostage, they could demand what they wanted and they did. So many "smaller" folks lost everything they had with him. That's how those things work.
Edit: just gonna slip this in since I just finished it after nearly causing a migraine
/r/the_shkreli_evidence
Maybe ill update, maybe ill never touch it again. (that's what she said)
## Walls1337bot: ##
That actually isn't exactly what happened here. From what I can tell he basically just raided various funds he had access to and then yoloed the money, eventually paying off the majority of investors. He certainly wasn't running a traditional ponzi scheme, maybe in a sense it was... but not in the common sense... anywho, raiding your public drug company to gamble with in order to pay back investors for your private fund is certainly illegal as fuck even if everyone got their money back and then some, you can't just use money like that, doing so makes you guilty of a litany of offenses.
So to the poeple saying, 'well everyone was paid back and then some', so? If I illegally withdraw my uncles bank account, go to a casino, and double the money on blackjack, then put it all back into his account, guess what, that's super fucking illegal. That's essentially what he did from a legal standpoint.

I saw this post. The suggestion from that thread was to buy CD with 2% annual interest
## Speaker_1: ##
index funds were too risky
everyone who suggested them got downvoted
## Speaker_2: ##
Index funds risky?
Christ do these people freak out over loosing pocket change in the drier as much as they do with stocks?
## Speaker_3: ##
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. It is not at all unrealistic that that 25k could easily be 20k in 2 years if we go through a significant crash/bear market. If you actually need all of X money in 2 years putting it in the market is stupid period.
## Speaker_2: ##
The fear of running into a bear market should not outweigh the desire to grow a decent amount of money.
By parking that amount in a CD for 2 years he gains what, $625?
Parking it in a low free S&P 500 ETF could yield what, 20% (each year) over the next two years including dividends at most for a ridiculous bull market run. That puts his gain at what $11,000?
And you could drop by say 30% if we have some bear market pop up out of no where. Let's say that ends up being a $7,500 loss over 2 years; but they're stilling pulling the 2.5% in dividends each year which offsets that loss. In the 2008 housing bubble, it took the S&P nearly 2 years to reach its low point (-50% or so loss in 2009) from its 2007 peak. It's not like they're obligated to keep it in the S&P 500 for all 2 years either. They can pull it out whenever.
Besides even if they eat a 30% loss over 2 year ($7,500), assuming it's an even split each year, they are reaping $3,000 in tax benefits if they claim capital losses.
It's dumb to park that small amount of money in a CD. If they stopped saving because they hit $25k, that is equally as dumb. They use the initial savings plan they used to get that 25k and cost dollar average their way through the next 2 years offsetting the dips, they've effectively mitigated the risk of the whole 30% loss.
CD's are hardly a good investment unless you have massive amounts of money you want to keep somewhat liquid. Even though stocks are much more liquid than CD's IMO.
## Walls1337bot: ##
He needs to park some cash and needs to have that liquid. Market might win in the long term but doesn’t guarantee he gets liquid for his COMPLETELY PREDICTED need for it. You can’t say “well shit I don’t have the house down payment but I put it into the market and I’ll get it back to you sometime, probably!”?
## Speaker_2: ##
A CD isn't a liquid investment though. You eat penalties for early withdraw. So when your dream house comes on the market a year earlier than you expected, you're eating the penalties to pull it out and make the down payment.
Hell if it's really poorly timed, that could be half of what he could potentially make from the CD.
Same with the stock market, maybe he has to pull out at an inopportune time and eats a loss. He still gets the capital loss benefits from the market, versus loosing what he intended to gain. And at that point, he's lost out to inflation.
Hell a CD doesn't even beat inflation at the moment.
## Walls1337bot: ##
He has an EXACT timeframe and a CD offers you return with liquidity on an EXACT timeframe.
Good luck out there.

Greenspan better fucking hope the USA isn't in a treasury debt bubble.
That said, [there is a scenario](https://mises.org/library/zimbabwe-best-performing-stock-market-2007) by which all the US stock markets (hell, all the stock markets in developed countries) are massively undervalued (and before anyone bitches and moans about the source, just know that it pains me to link to that source).
google "Treasury Crazy Drawer"
## Speaker_1: ##
at work, can you give a TLDR/ELI5 please?
## Speaker_0: ##
At the on-set of the sub-prime/global financial crisis, the Treasury bond auctions started to fail. The FedResInk stepped in to do two things:
1 - sequester shill mortgage debt by throwing in under a TARP (the primary and only function of a central bank is to keep debt that it has created intact... that "dual mandate" bullshit is just propaganda economists like to tell themselves before they go to sleep each night)
and...
2 - reassure the world that the USA was good for their sovereign debt through the "open market action" of buying up all unpurchased treasury debt, allowing the USA's bond auctions to proceed as usual.
At some point during the eight years after the initial treasury bond auctions failures, the FedResInk stopped having to increase its balance sheet liability by purchasing treasury debt and was able to keep the bond auctions stabilized by rolling existing debt over, which also provided them with the opportunity to dispose of high interest debt and "twist" the interest rate down indefinitely to keep the "bond vigilantes" at bay while simultaneously providing a mechanism by which Keynesian stimulus of the economy could be exercised. All during this time, the USA kept raising its debt ceiling and minted more and more debt while revenues fell... because... you know... it could.
Now, as we enter into the end of this particular debt super cycle, there's some question about what happens next. Two things are certain:
1 - the stock market is over valued via QE inflation and ZIRP. Here, it's important to understand that the mechanism by which the FedResInk modulates the economy is via interest rates. Overheated stock market? Raise interest rates.
However....
2 - bonds currently held represent a huge liability (and here, it's important to understand that low(er) interest rate bonds trade at a loss when interest rates go up... effectively a negative interest rate because we're at the "lower bound", also known as "out of ammunition" or "pushing a string")
So, what we get is a bifurcation where one of two things becomes inevitable:
1 - interest rates are held low forever and the the equity markets are allowed to do what equity markets do (AKA The Japanization Of The American Economy). Actually what happens is the central bank starts participating directly in the equity markets... nobody is really sure if this has happened yet at the FedResInk, but it has been the de facto outcome due to ZIRP (the FedResInk is inexecrable tied to the equity markets, vis-a-vis "taper tantrums" when it tries to adjust policy)
Or...
2 - The debt super cycle is allowed to continue to its logical conclusion, which would involve both the bond market and the stock marking imploding... USA sovereign bond auction failures... an inability to pay anything other than interest on debt already owed... and eventually loss of sovereign bond principal (and, just like Japan, the primary holder of those bonds are Americans via social security which is stuffed to the gills with government debt IOUs). This culminates with either interest rates required for US debt in the double digits (as happened with Volcker in the 1980s) or the US losing its petrodollar status, at which point the US economy will sink to third or fourth behind China, the EU, and a few other counties... but more than likely one followed by the other in fairly short order.
September is the date the FedResInk has given for the cessation of Treasury debt rollover. October, the debt ceiling goat rope gets underway in earnest (here its important to know that the sitting POTUS usually get all up in the FedResInk's face to make an increase happen... Treasury is already rifling though their "crazy drawer" (their words, not mine... mostly just prioritized payments and a government shutdown) in preperation for this part of the Kabuki. Some time in 2018, the residential mortgage GSE under writers will need a second bailout. Treasury's net worth sweeps of these GSEs will cease and ACA will likely implode, taking insurance industry monthly premium float with it. Real estate will grind to a halt because nobody will underwrite mortgages, a function that is absolutely required to provide liquidity / a callable mortgage. All of this could precipitate outcome #2 despite all the efforts of the various institutions that exist to make outcome #1 reality.
## Speaker_2: ##
So if 1 buy if 2 cry?
## Speaker_0: ##
Technically, if the USA experiences a sustained sovereign default, you'll want to have your "money" in the stock market (that's the Zimbabwe lesson).
If you look at what happens to stock markets once the central bank starts participating in them wholesale, it's pretty lackluster.
## Speaker_2: ##
So the part here I am not quite getting is the "however 2" it makes sense that low interest rate bonds trade at a loss when compared to high interest rate version of the same bond...fair enough. But the government bought up all of those low yield bonds under TARP, I think this is what you said. So if the US gov is both the bond printer and bond holder how are the bonds the fed bought liabilities? Wouldn't they just zero themselves out on the balance sheet?
## Walls1337bot: ##
In terms of accounting, the bonds are assets for the Fed reserve.
However, since bond values fall when interest rates rise, the fed will be holding an asset akin to MU when they allow rates to rise and that will result in trillions of dollars in losses for them. Thus, the bonds are liabilities as an investment (like holding MU) even though they are assets (like holding MU).

It's not at record lows. It's near lows for the year.
If you really are sure it's going to bounce back (and I think we will see an event but perhaps a month or two or more out) then you can cut your losses now and wait for that sentiment change to be obvious.
You buy UVXY calls perhaps around two weeks out. You might be able to recover. That strategy in August 2015 could have netted a 10-20x bagger and another 10x on the way down.
I find if I'm in a position that is causing me to lose sleep it's better to get out as I've obviously got it wrong both in direction and size.
## Speaker_0: ##
You are probably right. Thank you.
## Walls1337bot: ##
If all you do is wait for that big spike and then scale in to things that profit from the inevitable retracement of vol (such as using SVXY maybe with calls or UVXY puts) then you should anticipate 40-100% gains depending on how you scale and risky you make your bets.
Last year was great as it happened four times (late Jan, mid Feb, end of June because of Brexit and early Nov because of US election).
Made a fortune. Any other trading I do now is small because I retired early and want something to do when I'm not busy with other stuff.
I've stopped trying to anticipate that something will happen to cause VIX to spike . I rarely made any money doing that and in aggregate lost more than I made.
But selling vol AFTER a spike? If I'd known about this 5 years ago I'd probably have 5x the NW that I do now. And would have retired even earlier.
## Speaker_0: ##
You wouldnt be able to find shares to short after a spike AND buying puts would be super pricy.
## Walls1337bot: ##
No you don't short. That takes up more margin likely anyway. You buy SVXY and maybe for your last tranche you buy SVXY calls.
For Brexit I got out of my calls after they tripled. If I had held to expiry they would have been 6x baggers.
For the election I only got in one tranche as I, like many others, didn't foresee that the market was going to take off after a Trump win. Only made 32% in less than a month on that. Kept writing weekly calls against my position and got taken out by the end of November.
I know what it's like to blow up accounts. And I'm taking about hundreds of thousands of dollars in gains that turned into hundreds of thousands of dollars in losses.
I'm no Bobby Axelrod. I'm not even the guy who cleans the toilets. There is a way to be right 70% of the time and make good money.
Being successful early was probably the worst thing that happened. I got this figured out! I've got a system! I'm going all in this time!
Literally took me three major blowups before I learned my lesson. That's over $1M of losses over the years.
Now I'm good. I don't trade every day. I either take small positions, hedge big positions or I wait and wait and wait for those rare high reward, lower risk opportunities.
I'm really lucky I'm still alive and my wife is with me and my kids love me and I finally have forgiven myself.
Don't be stupid me. Manage your risk, get out when you're wrong, come back and fight again another day. Maybe not tomorrow or even next week. The market will still be there when you do.

But, credit where it's due. He still made a lot of money. He's more successful than most people here. But long-term this can't work.

Does making short gains big term count as success if you lose longterm?
You can always select people who have had an impressive streak. The key is to select for legitimately good strategies and not lucky tards who are likely to just regress to the mean.

Tell that to the German armored land forces in 1940, brah.
## Speaker_3: ##
The French actually had an arguably better tank (especially in a defensive role) in the Char B1-bis. The B1-bis armor couldn't be penetrated by the Panzer III's 3.7 cm KwK 36 at any range or even the larger 5 cm KwK 38 L/42 at anything past 100m when using normal AP ammo (APCR could pen at <500 m).
On paper the French tanks were great, their big mistake was filling them with French crews.
## Speaker_4: ##
Better tank, but clearly French superior firepower hold the line tactics could not compete with German Blitz which the Germans had quite some time to test prior to French Invasion.

I keep hearing this but don't know exactly how people are comparing. Disney, which produces content for children, is going to out do NFLX, which produces content, more or less, for adults ?
Secondly, as other people are talking about here, fragmentation of market is going to make everyone go back to piracy, so they can get their material all in a single source
Thirdly, even if your claim of Disney being in the same domain as NFLX is true, then both of the stocks will move together, just like how the Fang stocks follow each other more or less, or how the micro chip stocks follow each other. So Disney go up, nflx go up ?
I grew up watching Disney because it was free on TV. Kids growing up these days don't give 2 Fs about that, there is so much content on youtube and elsewhere that, outside of Disney world, and Marvel, kids will be occupied elsewhere.

I'm successful in life; I'm a security engineer. Good dad or I'd like to think so.
I can't call people fag like I do on here. I also can't joke about killing myself with a rope like I can on here.
Also, no one gets my gif's and jokes like you guys do.
I don't want a yacht; I just don't want to be a slave anymore.
## Speaker_1: ##
> I just don't want to be a slave anymore
This isn't /r/communism nibba
## Speaker_0: ##
I wanna chill and do what I want; not what other people want.
I'm a slave to money until I get free from this bullshit.
## Speaker_2: ##
You're really a slave to your fucking wife and kids homie. How much of your paycheck do you even get to spend on yourself? I'd guess less than 10 percent. Everything else probably goes into taxes, shit for the kids, shit for your wife, family vacations, braces, etc etc.
You could be living as a king if you were a single man, making the 6 figure or close to 6 figure income of someone in your field. Probably too late now though, because if you divorced her you'd end up giving her more than half your shit and half your future income as well.
Aka you are a slave, and always will be. Because your bitch and kids will want more, more, more, more. As soon as you give them what they want, it will shift and morph into desiring something else. Endlessly forcing you to slave away in the off chance you get a little pussy every few weeks.

If tomorrow isn't green I'm done "investing" for the next 6 months until I can afford 25k to freely day trade :(
## Speaker_1: ##
Just make 2-3 trades a week and use your day trades. Focus on those, follow the trends and dont buy before 930. That will help you make more informed plays. Dont play against market trends(ie market going up but you play puts on individual stocks) patience and discipline
## Speaker_2: ##
Buy at 10:30 and 1:30. Nothing else. Also, only on Tuesdays. Also, only puts and straggles.
## Speaker_1: ##
I play market trend. Calls or puts. I usually check twitter and other resources to see people's sentiment. 2-3 plays a week wont get you rich but itll make you a nice second paycheck
## Speaker_2: ##
I'm actually trying to set up a script to tell me this. Have you ever heard of [Mosquito?](http://www.studiosmuts.com/ceed3/mosquito/) You need Rhino 3d to use it, but goddamn can it do some amazing shit.
Going to try to make something like that and use python to capture trends. If I'm super nerdy, crosscheck with shit like price of milk and the average humidity of new york city.

With that kind of setup, aren't you just playing the direction of volatility rather than the direction of the underlying? I guess I'm not sure why it's less of a gamble. Or is the risk to reward ratio simply better?
## Speaker_1: ##
Only went $15 wide on either side and traded right at close, and options expire tomorrow - so in this case its a trade that AMZN would move at least 2.3% on earnings. You are correct that buttefly trades in general are trades on vol, I don't generally favor them but these are the kinds of things we should all be collectively looking for - the liklihood that AMZN would move more then 2.3% on earnings is large, collecting money on it is a nice easy place. And hopefully still fulfills everyone desperate need for YOLO given the risk still involved
## Speaker_2: ##
Quality post again.
I'm trying to work out the P/L and figure out how you got a net credit per contract that amounts to $17,000 in total.
As of market close:
620C bid: $33.70 / 635C ask: $27.55 / 650C bid: $19.10
So each contract of 620/635/650 short butterfly would cost net debit of ($2.3) to open.
If AMZN stays flat tomorrow at $550, all 4 options will expire worthless and you'd still have a net debit of ($2.3).
Am I missing something? Not calling you out, but just trying to learn. Thanks.
## Speaker_1: ##
On a butterfly at earnings you're going to see a lot of inaccurate pricing at random times because the options are very close to the money on volatile earnings. So another tip would be that you need to start watching at like 3pm even though you're not going to trade until close to close so you have a sense of what kind of credit you should be receiving because your platform might show random spikes. Remember this is a three leg option for a small credit so if the stock is moving around a lot and someone trades one of the three legs for an odd price the contract will spike to an odd price
I trade 350 contracts at 50 cents credit. I could have gotten more trading a little earlier (I traded at like 3:58) but I got scared by how much AMZN had been moving and the fact it only moved 6% on last earnings. If there was some sudden move in the stock at the last minute and then this was the one earnings call with relatively small movement I could have been fucked, so only got 50 cents each even though all afternoon they were trading at probably 80 cents each. But that's ok
## Speaker_3: ##
That's a solid trade. What was your max risk on 350 contracts?
## Speaker_1: ##
~150k
## Speaker_2: ##
Hmmm... shouldn't the max risk more like ~$500K?
Width ($15) x # of Contracts (350) x 100 - premium ($17K)
## Speaker_1: ##
Yeah you right! Ha sorry I was giving someone an detailed example in a PM with $5 wide strikes and forgot what I traded. I changed my plans on AMZN so many times today with the constantly rising and then fluctuating stock price, it was tense
## Speaker_4: ##
So you made $17k on $500k exposure?
## Walls1337bot: ##
With exposure you mean risk? If yes that's a horrible trade, should have been at least 1000k

At the risk of sounding like an asshole did you think you would just have money magically deposited in your account by the money fairy? Of course you have to sell.

How was market so green today yet so many people got fucked?
## Speaker_0: ##
tech and services sectors didn't do well today
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah forgot no one plays anything outside of tech
## Speaker_1: ##
Other sectors don’t have the volatility that tech does. Here at WSB we don’t have the patience or attention span to make money slowly and reliably. We need it fast, so that means tech stock FDs.

FREE THE POLITICAL PRISONER KNOWN AS MARTIN SHKRELI
FREE THE POLITICAL PRISONER KNOWN AS BOBBY SHMURDA
## Speaker_1: ##
Shkreli is unironically a political prisoner
## Walls1337bot: ##
Shkreli's own words disagree with you. He came clean and admitted guilt and specifically said that he took himself down there was no conspiracy.
## Speaker_2: ##
lol read between the lines that was a play he and his lawyer came up with in order to have the best chance to get a light sentence. you know he doesn't actually believe it. you know it, i know it, we all know it.
don't be naive
## Walls1337bot: ##
You think he's innocent? He lost all his investors' money on a bad move, lied about it repeatedly while he stole money from his other company to pay them back, forging paper trails and financial documents along the way.
Those investors had a right to know that he lost their money. Good on him for trying to pay it back except it wasn't with his own money...
## Speaker_3: ##
>He lost all his investors' money on a bad move, lied about it repeatedly while he stole money from his other company to pay them back, forging paper trails and financial documents along the way.
https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/83955a/shkreli_sentenced_to_7_years_in_federal_prison/dvg9pvm/
Losing your investor's money is a civil court thing or settlement.
Lying about it is par for the fucking course in the financial industry. If lying was illegal, everyone at Wells Fargo senior management would currently be felons.
Hell, between the ratings agencies, the investment banks and the people approving the loans in 2008, there would probably be close to 50,000 felons from that incident alone.
Stealing money from his other company to pay them back? OK, but that still sounds like a civil court thing.
Forging paper trails and financial documents? Right, because apparently forging paper trails is worse than losing the paperwork or saying "it was a glitch in the system".
Wells Fargo did literally of that (except for stealing money from another company), and nobody gives a shit enough to criminally sentence people. The worst thing that's happened is that the Fed made a vague (and soon to be challenged in court) order to limit their growth.
## Walls1337bot: ##
They absolutely should be locked up, no question. They aren't, but that doesn't mean Shkreli *shouldn't* be. He deserves his 7 years and the Wells Fargos of the world deserve life.

Yeah why should taxpayers have any say in what telcos do with their money and right-of-way?
## Speaker_6: ##
Why do you think you have a right to tell companies what they can or cannot do?
Your tax money goes to run government services, not to control companies.
You don't like what telcos are doing? Stop doing business with them.
And tell your elected officials to remove the obstacles that make it so hard for other companies to provide their internet service to you. That is the only thing that is stifling competition, which means that the one company that is available to you can do whatever it wants.
