How many people got banned for asking for a private invite?

A lot of people.
## Speaker_2: ##
People get banned for asking for an invite?
## Speaker_1: ##
For some reason reddit has a piece of text saying "go fucking badger the moderators as if asking will get you access to the empty sub for the 10 or so hours that it's down" that we can't remove so we put a piece of text that says "DON'T CONTACT THE MODS OR YOU WILL BE BANNED" in the description along with the discord link and despite that we regularly get hundreds of messages asking to be included in super secret WSB illuminati fun time.
It's a temp ban, but it's a ban.
## Walls1337bot: ##

As some one who has been in the market since 1996, I disagree. Where we are at is the "bear trap". I have no doubt this will end in tears for all the fools of WSB but we're still in the early stages of the mania phase. Expect a recession in 2 years.
## Speaker_1: ##
As someone who was born in 1995, I'd like to reassure you that I obviously have more experience, and I'm correct. I started trading right out of the womb, and quickly climbed to the top of my field. Did you see my chart? It's very detailed and clear.

## Speaker_3: ##
I was dipping grizz green while I had the stomach flu and threw up with a lip in. I haven't been able to stomach it since. Copenhagen mint for me now until southern blend comes to California.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I remember when I used to dip, yessiree, Copenhagen mint for me. Unfortunately, I find myself unable to do so anymore. You see, I had a habit of going to bed with a lip in. After awhile, the accumulated shit that I involuntarily swallowed started to erode my esophagus. I didn't stop doing it in my sleep until I got mouth cancer and had to have part of my cheeks removed, couldn't pack a lip anymore. I then started going to bed with some nicorette under my tongue. That of course, came before the tongue cancer, which finished off both my tongue and lower jaw. I had to have a feeding tube put in since I couldn't swallow anything without a jaw or a tongue. This also meant no more gum for me, not that I could afford buying it much longer anymore. Medical expenses piled up and my golden goose, 10000 shares of AMD, started looking shaky enough to short after it sunk under the 2.90 mark. At this point, I was in a real dilemma: I couldn't dip without cheeks, couldn't chew gum without a jaw, and couldn't smoke without lips (which by the way, were removed with the cheeks). I figured it was time to go back to dip, but this time, I mixed it in with the ensure that I ate with my feeding tube. The skoal smoothies worked a couple of times, but after that, my feeding tube got clogged and I had get a new one put in. Right after I left my doctors office with a new feeding tube I, it finally hit me how much money I lost. I was so depressed right then, that I walked into a Walgreens to pick up enough zzzquil to OD on. It was when I was checking out that I saw the bottles of vape juice behind the counter. I dropped the pills and instead bought a bottle of watermelon vape juice and a can of vanilla ensure.
The rest, they say, is history.

Seriously. It's going somewhere and it's going to be... Tax payers not paying to ship Amazon packages anymore.
## Speaker_2: ##
You do realize that much of USPS's financial issues are related to retiree health and benefit pensions obligations, correct?
## Speaker_1: ##
What does that have to do with them losing money because of Amazon?
## Speaker_2: ##
??
Trump has stated how Amazon alone has cost the USPS massive amounts of money by using USPS as it's "delivery boy." The previous Post Master General said this isn't at all true and that Amazon is profitable for the USPS. The major issue with USPS has been the ridiculous pensions.
## Speaker_1: ##
Trump wouldn't go after it, if he had no doubt that he could win. I don't believe Trump is wrong here. Especially since it's Amazon that has the free shipping policy. Plus... Who started the Sunday shipping with the Federal mail service? It was Amazon.... Something unthinkable before. Why should a company be able to force a national policy change? Packages get shipped for free by the postal workers on a Sunday.

When is the last time a president had this strong of an economy at a mid term election? I mean if he just would shut up and let the market go, the reps would be sitting pretty.
Instead, he could reasonably put the country into a recession before his reelection if the trade war gets out if hand. +5 pct real GDP QoQ to negative would be quite a stupid accomplishment. But I guess that's the risk you take with debt funded growth.
## Speaker_1: ##

Looks promising. Maybe because I'm a psych major I know how huge of a problem Alzheimer's is and is going to become with all these baby boomers losing their goddamned minds. It's worth the buy just for the speculation and probable run up before results.
## Speaker_2: ##
No one cares what you are majoring in. Your 1st sentence is not predicated at all on your major. Alzheimers has always been a problem regardless of your major. Fuck. I hate millenials.
## Speaker_3: ##
Look, I agree the kid is douchey for wanting to make sure WSB knew he was a psyche major. But you can't just act like it's millenials who were the first ones to casually shoehorn what their major is (or some other stupid fucking fact that nobody cares about) into a conversation for no reason other than to talk about themselves.
Edit: Just noticed you shoehorned in your reply below that you were a neuroscience major and then complained that WSB is full of rampant naive children. If you don't want WSB to seem like that then don't act like that.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I mean this guy /u/Chuckthedog_woofwoof is giving a psych major shit and he graduated with a neuroscience degree (an absolutely worthless major below the PhD level). The irony is already lethal at this point. Not to mention many places don't have a separate 'neuro' dept and award their graduates a 'psychology' degree for studying neuroscience, so the guy getting bashed may well be studying the same shit as Chuck woof woof guy.
Then he shit talks another guy who has a neuro/biochem MS above in this thread. Which by the way, the neuro MS is still somewhat worthless, although the biochem a bit less so if he had wetlab or computational modelling experience applicable to industry, but he probably didn't.
Anyway, he grills this guy and says he "could care less" (only fuckin idiots say 'could care less'; it's '**couldn't** care less') about their degrees despite having literally called out two people about their education and he *misses the irony* of making that statement *while having butchered that phrase*. Let me give him a hint: the proper usage of "could care less" would be in the opposite context, i.e. if someone told you your house burned down "I could care less about my house burning down because I care a FUCKING LOT". On the other hand if I told someone rich there was penny on the ground they could rightfully tell me they "couldn't care less" about that.
I think he's either a troll or someone took a shit in his cereal but there's no reason to be tilting so fucking hard on this subreddit unless you just lost a major trade and can prove it.
Better to be a stupid ass millenial than whatever pathetic fucking shit generation this guy came from (presumably Gen X if he graduated with a degree 15 years ago) where they apparently only taught you how to shit on people while incorrectly using english idioms and getting degrees in majors which are *still* useless 15 years later.

I think smart people would tell you this market volatility is a classic sign of a bear market. These large spikes into the green are unnatural after a consistent decline since October, especially since the government is shutdown (with no end in sight) and the Fed is going to raise rates again very soon.
Smart money is on the market starting up tomorrow, and then showing a downtrend until about 2:30 and then try to rally near EOD. Anyone who buys puts better sell when they show 30% profits, anyone wanting 300% gains are dumb to think they'll get it this week.

## Walls1337bot: ##
Yeah but it's not like it costs me anything to avoid these situations. My life is probably pretty similar and women likely get screwed because they are usually the ones not in power in corporate America.
Even with women bosses, it almost works out because I don't feel the same fear of being accused so I can still bro out with them.
Need a better solution but really no incentive for me to come up with one since im just a peon, not a partner.

It won't "pop" in the same way housing or tech will because of the reasons you said yourself.
What can happen is that it will effect other industries such as the housing industry because with massive amounts of debt, less people will be able to afford a mortgage.
But it will never pop from people defaulting as they can't just walk away from student loans like they did underwater mortgages.
## Speaker_0: ##
Or we get a "storming of the Bastille" type of situation.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Lmao who are they going to "storm?" The White House? Congress? The Universities? The banks? Their parent's houses?
These are the same whiny bitches who are asking for universities to be a safe space where you can't say anything someone might disagree with and yet you think they would be willing to risk breaking a nail in a violent uprising?
That would be the funniest and shortest revolution in history. 1 SJW gets shot and they all run away crying for a safe space and go back to posting on Tumblr.
## Speaker_0: ##
Good point. I figure there's a boiling point somewhere.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The "boiling point" if anything will be with the universities themselves because they constantly jack up the cost and yet provide less and less quality education.
Tough to be mad at the government for giving you a loan that you signed up for that you knew you very likely wouldn't be able to pay back for a very long time.

How do th y get away with those "Ditch Sprint" commercials?
## Speaker_2: ##
Very carefully. You obviously can't say "United beats their passengers" that's a slander suit waiting to happen. The Ditch Sprint commercials use stats from independent network reviews and are very careful to toe the line between personal attack and just highlighting their networks in comparison. For a industry like Telecom that relies heavily on Brand loyalty the risk can be worth it as long as you're careful with your commercials.

You don't actually have to buy them in bulk. Ask your broker to chop off just a small piece, depending on how much money you have. It's a common service that any broker has to do for you, they just don't advertise it because it's additional work for them, lazy bastards.

## Walls1337bot: ##
>Actually seems pretty genuine.
Let's be real here. You're making it seem like they're doing us a favor by seeming genuine. Dude, they have to appear genuine. They made history with their security failure.
>They're offering an entire, free package for all their consumers to protect themselves. A huge cost, but it'll go a long ways.
Again you're making it seem like they're doing us a favor. Wrong... this is the least they can do to their customers. This security breach will have life time consequences. The company solution is temporary. They have to do way better than that.
>Plus, this incident isn't that detrimental to the company. Take a look at their history - there's been worse.
There hasn't been worse. You obviously haven't been reading up on the news. This happens to be the biggest security breach in the company's history.
I think the biggest issue I'm having with your approach to this is the fact that you appear to think this will blow over quickly and that everything will go back to the way it was before the breach. After reading your comments in this thread, I've decided that you either have nothing to lose, or you're from a different country not directly impacted by the breach.
>measures are being taken to fix the situation
Welp. There's your checkmark right? Hey guys pack it up, they're fixing it! Wrong again... there is no permanent fix for what just happened. There will always be people victimized for identity theft at the fault of the company. This is nothing more than a PR attempt at damage control and slow down the loss of money they're encountering. If you truly believe that they're fixing this, you should wake up and get back to reality

Plan X is supposedly 5% more than the employees pay. Problem is that you could negotiate the same price yourself.

## 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.

I second this. Buy a $10 or $15k nice used Altima or Honda and use the rest as down payment on a house. I bought a house in 2012 and it's been one of the best investments. Opens up alot of credit opportunities too like HELOCs etc...which are some of the cheapest loans you can get if you ever need money.

What's the story between,"Robinhood " and ,"White Supremacy?"
## Speaker_1: ##
Some people feel inferior, and imagine there's an outside force to blame, like a big demon holding them down. The demon puts them in chains, and follows them wherever they go, so whenever they try to do anything, it's there to trip them up and kick their face into the dirt. They become paranoid, where they assume it's always there following them, ready to sabotage anything they do.
If someone is black, they might imagine the demon as "white privilege". If they're female, they might imagine it as "male privilege". Whatever their demon looks like, it's all the same basic fear that they're inferior due to oppression, and they want to oppose the force so they don't have to feel inferior.
But there is no actual demon; they create one from their own fears, and end up self-sabotaging. Then they incorrectly point the finger at others for the failure their own fear of failure caused.
In this case it's like:
1. Making money means success and rising the ranks
2. Investing in the stock market means making money
3. The *white devil* doesn't want me to be successful
4. Therefore, the demon is trying to stop me from using Robinhood
5. But I want to be successful, so I must fight the power
6. "I will use Robinhood, and no white devil will stop me!"
Some people are more sensitive than others, where if they got bit by a dog once, they're forever paranoid that dogs are everywhere trying to bite them. Others aren't afraid of dogs at all, and if they get bit, they see how it was a special case about that one specific situation, and that doesn't mean all dogs are trying to bite them.
Dis nigga got bit.
## Speaker_2: ##
Also if you're white and male, there's this minority privilege thing you can blame too.

Man bought a ticket. Showed up early. Boarded. Was polite to everyone. United overbooks and needs 4 spots given up so some emloyees flying stand-by can be on the flight. Computer randomly selects man to give up seat and he refuses. They had offered everyone $800 credit and nobody took it. Why didn't they just keep upping the offer? They quit after going from offering $400 to $800. Eventually somebody would have accepted a high enough offer. This man was a doctor of all things. Maybe he HAD to be on that flight. Even if it was me, I would have refused. United overbooked. Let those stand-bys miss the flight. They couldn't take a later flight themselves? If not let the airline find somebody to cover their flights shifts.
## Speaker_1: ##
Apparently he "needed to see his patients in the morning."
What a dick move by United. Would hate to be their PR guy right now.

Him being a doctor is irrelevant. He booked a flight. It was his flight. Just offer more money and do it to the whole plane. You'll get 4 people to leave pretty quickly.

United delayed my flight once for 6 hours before canceling it due to weather. They don't control the weather, fine. They re-booked me on a flight like 2 hours later. 30 minutes after the flight was scheduled to leave they tell us that the plane is there but there isn't a crew for it, so they're just waiting a bit for the crew to get there. 5 hours later, after reassuring all of us every 20 minutes or so that the crew is "REALLY almost here this time" they canceled the flight. 4 more hours in line for support and they re-booked me for a flight 3 days later. I had to be at my destination the next day to drive a moving truck cross country.
In all I ended up being at the airport for about 18 hours before going home. When I called to complain about the experience they gave me a voucher for $100 for a flight that couldn't be used for holidays or something like that. Never flying United again.
Edit: changed place to plane

Fuck the dumbass loan why are you googling if you can overdose on listerine?
## Speaker_1: ##
One time when I was a little kid, like 8-9 years old, me and my neighbor decided to go on a hike through the woods behind our house. He said he'd bring something to drink if I brought something to eat.
After about an hour of hiking up this big fucking hill we sat down to take a break. I pulled out my "snacks" which was packets of Sweet N Low because that's all I could find in my house. He brought a fucking bottle of Listerine to drink. So we're on top of this huge hill, an hour walk from home, with nothing to eat or drink except Sweet N Low and Listerine.
We were both pretty fucking retarded. Still are. But still not as dumb as OP.
## Speaker_2: ##
Why would you even grab either of those items. If I’m looking through my house for a snack to bring with me somewhere, even if I happen to come across sweet n low, I’m not grabbing it. Would you also grab salt? How about paprika?
I can’t even comment on listerine. How are you even smart enough to operate a smart phone? What the fuck
## Speaker_1: ##
We were both poor and this was a rural area. It was in the 80s. I don't really have an excuse other than that. My family didn't have "snacks" so all I could find were fake sugar packets which seemed like a great idea. I remember thinking either fake sugar packets or the bottle of ketchup in the fridge. But I didn't want the ketchup to go bad, so I brought the saccharine or whatever the fuck Sweet N Low is.
Edit: Also, did I mention I was only about 8yo then? This was bumfuck, Appalachia.

In Sweden the student loans is like 0.5% interest. Is it worth it?
Edit: it's actually 0.13 % lmao
## Speaker_1: ##
That’s a way better rate than a margin loan. Just saying.
## Speaker_0: ##
It was actually 0.13% this year but it fluctuates +- 0.05%
## Speaker_1: ##
Is there any legal reason why you can’t just put it in low risk securities of some kind and collect the difference? That’s lower than the bank rate, they’re basically paying you to borrow it.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Well, dont know about Sweden, but it used to be that students just flat out recieved free money from the government here before the 2008 crisis, that has now changed to a student loans we actually have to pay back because of austerity, but in exchange the loans have very low interest rates (used to be 0.01% a few years back, currently its at 0.0%). So its still basically free money, but now we're paying at least part of it back
Another thing is that these loans are much more generous than the ones in the US, in effect they arent really loans but an extra tax you pay to attend university. Once you graduate (or quit uni), the max payment you'll have to make to pay back the loans is 3% of your income monthly, so you're basically just paying an extra tax really, and there even is a minimum income below which you don't have to pay it back, so you can't really go bankrupt over these loans unless you really screw up

2150 strike weeklies lol. The 2000's not yolo enough for you?
## Speaker_1: ##
My ass is broke as a joke I gotta shoot wayyy out of the money when IV is this high
## Speaker_0: ##
S P R E A D S
## Speaker_2: ##
Alright brother help me out because I’m new at options strategies. When you say “S P R E A D S”, what exactly do you mean? Do you mean vertical or horizontal spreads? Why is a spread better than buying a call with a reasonable strike ($2000)?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Vertical spreads. If you think the stock is going up, sell a put credit spread. If the stock is going down, sell a call credit spread.
Profit = difference between long call and short call
Risk = difference between long and short call strike prices plus profit
Example-
Sell $200 call for $10
Buy $250 call for $5
Max profit $5
Max risk $45
Collateral $50 to open the position
The goal is that the gap between the $200 call and the $250 call goes to $0, and the options expire worthless.
## Speaker_3: ##
Why buy the higher strike call at all? Why not buy a put and sell a call or vice versa?
If the underlying goes to 250 you would have to buy the underlying at your higher strike and sell at the lower strike.
A vertical spread is selling the OTM option and buying an ITM/ATM option. I don't understand why you would want to be long an option that you expect to go to 0
## Walls1337bot: ##
A) Because thats what a vertical credit spread is. You sell a call closer to the money, because it is more valuable, and then buy a call further out of the money, because it is less valuable. The difference in the value of the options is how much you make (how much you are credited for the sale)
B) Because thats not what a vertical credit spread is.
C) Yes, if the underlying went up, and the stock price is above $200 at expiration, you would need to exercise the $250 call you bought to cover the shares for the $200 call that you sold. This strategy is intended for if you believe the price of the stock will fall. If you expect the price of the stock to rise, you sell a put credit spread.
D) No, thats not what a vertical spread is. That is a DEBIT spread, which is another strategy. You are selling a less valuable call and buying a more valuable call, which costs you money to do. Hence you are charged the difference between the two calls to open the position (or debited that amount).
E) You want to be long a call that you expect to go to zero because you made (or were credited) the money at the time of the initial sale. In my example, you *made* $5 on the sale of the credit spread once you opened the position. Then, you are expecting the price of the stock to fall, so the value of both contracts goes to 0, expire out of the money, and you keep your $5.
Although this is a rudimentary explanation of the concept, it is how credit spreads work. The opposite of this is the put credit spread, which is where you expect the price of the stock to rise.

Because we have a new NAFTA already drafted and agreed by the 3 countries
## Speaker_1: ##
It hasn’t been agreed on. All the countries have to ratify in their legislature. It has to get past the new Dem house.
It’s far from a done deal.
People celebrating moon Monday way to early.
## Speaker_2: ##
It basically is. It be politically suicide for Demo to block it. Not to mention Canada and Mexico need it for their economies. Nafta2.0 isn’t that big of a change mostly more car parts have to be made in NA
## Speaker_3: ##
No, if I was Nancy Pelosi I would use this moment to make demands. Donald Trump is putting himself in a condition where he can be heavily exhorted, a terrible negotiating position. With Trump's poor negotiation skill to begin with I think dems moment to shine is coming. Plus free trade is less popular then it use to be, even though the new NAFTA agreement is less free trade than before.
## Speaker_4: ##
Are you retarded? Just an honest question...
Trump is ending NAFTA to force the democrats to sign his new deal (which despite his "poor negotiation skill" is significantly more biased towards America than NAFTA was, to the point that Trudeau was on the verge of tears while signing it) because if they don't, there will be no free trade between the US, Mexico and Canada. If this happens all of Pelosi's angry corporate donors (who happen to like free trade very much) will come knocking and she'll have no choice to vote the deal through or lose them. However, it would be funny to see the Democrats, who are constantly berating Trump for his tariffs fail at their only opportunity to remove some of them,
## Walls1337bot: ##
> because if they don't, there will be no free trade between the US, Mexico and Canada. If this happens all of Pelosi's angry corporate donors (who happen to like free trade very much) will come knocking and she'll have no choice to vote the deal through or lose them.
Isn't it possible that this results in a game of chicken tho?
If Dems make demands and Trump doesn't agree to them, can't they shift the responsibility to him?
## Speaker_2: ##
No they tried this with dreamers and the govt shut down. Most people blame demo for blocking since trump has done such a good job at associating his name with the trade deal.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> Most people blame demo for blocking

If the democrats shut down any trade agreements without their demands being met, doesn't the likelihood of an economic downturn increase?

US president Donald Trump warned Russia to prepare for a US strike against Syria, shrugging off a
warning from Moscow that it would respond by targeting American “launch vehicles” involved in
any military operation that threatened its forces.
“Russia vows to shoot down any and all missiles fired at Syria. Get ready Russia, because they will
be coming, nice and new and ‘smart!’ You shouldn’t be partners with a Gas Killing Animal who kills
his people and enjoys it!” Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning, in a reference to Syrian
president Bashar al-Assad.
His tweet marked a sharp escalation in the war of words between Russia and the US over an
alleged chemical weapons attack near Damascus and raised concerns about the risk of military
confrontation between the powers following any US strike.
On Monday, Mr Trump said he would decide on a possible strike within 48 hours. Emmanuel
Macron, French president, on Wednesday suggested that the US and its allies had decided to
respond, but were working out the details of the military operation.
Theresa May, UK prime minister, appeared to be preparing to back a US-led attack on Syria. “All
the indications are that the Syrian regime was responsible,” she said.
Hours after Mr Trump tweeted on Wednesday, however, Jim Mattis, US defence secretary, took a
more cautious stance, saying: “We’re still assessing the intelligence”.
Mr Trump followed his early remarks with a second tweet which said the relationship with Moscow
was “worse than it has ever been, and that included the Cold War”.
A Kremlin spokesman told the Interfax news agency that Russia would not take part in “Twitter
diplomacy” and instead favoured a “serious approach”, adding that the “invented” chemical attack
should not be a pretext for military action.
While humanitarian aid groups and western governments have pointed the finger at Syria, Russia
says there was no chemical weapons attack.
Vladimir Putin, Russia’s president, discussed the situation around Syria with Benjamin Netanyahu,
Israeli prime minister, in a call on Wednesday evening.
According to the Kremlin, Mr Putin “stressed the fundamental importance of respecting the
sovereignty of Syria, and urged him to refrain from any actions that would further destabilise the
situation in that country and pose a threat to its security”.
Alexander Zasypkin, Russia’s ambassador to Lebanon, on Tuesday reminded the US that the head
of the Russian military had said his forces in Syria would not only shoot down any missiles that
threatened them but would target the source of the weapons.
Valery Gerasimov, head of Russia’s armed forces, said in March: “In case the lives of our soldiers
are under threat, the armed forces of the Russian Federation will take retaliatory measures . . .
against missiles and against the delivery vehicles used.”
Last year, Mr Trump ordered the firing of 59 cruise missiles at an air base in Syria after a chemical
weapons attack by the Assad regime killed more than 80 people. US officials warned Russia, who
had personnel at the base, in advance of the strike.
On Wednesday, Syrian forces were reportedly put on 72-hour high alert as they started to move
combat aircraft to the two Russian air bases in the country.
The pro-government Al Masdar News said that jets and helicopters were moved to the coastal
Russian bases in Tartous and Latakia, with the assumption that the US would not target those
bases because it would risk direct confrontation with Russia.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a London-based monitoring group, confirmed that
Damascus was emptying bases it believed could be a target of strikes.
Brent crude briefly pushed above $73 for the first time since December 2014 after Mr Trump’s
tweets, before easing back slightly. The S&P 500 was 0.2 per cent lower in New York in afternoon
trading.
The US, France and the UK have been debating how to respond to allegations that Douma, a rebel
holdout near the Syrian capital of Damascus, had been attacked with chemical weapons over the
weekend, killing at least 40 people.
Russia’s military intervention in Syria in 2015 helped turn the tide of the seven-year civil war in
favour of the Assad regime. Moscow has deployed air defence systems and combat aircraft to the
country. In recent months, it has strengthened its naval presence in the eastern Mediterranean,
according to IHS Jane’s Defence Weekly.
On Tuesday, the US clashed with Russia at the UN over competing resolutions on a joint chemical
weapons inspection mission for Syria. Vassily Nebenzia, the Russian ambassador to the UN,
warned that military action could spark “grave repercussions”.
Later he told the US: “I would once again implore you — refrain from those plans that you have in
mind for Syria.”
The World Health Organization on Wednesday demanded that Mr Assad allow its inspectors access
to the site of the attack, saying that an estimated 500 people were “exhibiting signs and symptoms
consistent with exposure to toxic chemicals”.
Russia said it and Syria would back a team from the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons that was soon expected to arrive in Douma. The OPCW inspectors do not have a mandate to attribute blame, only to test for chemical weapons.
On Wednesday, buses continued to take rebel fighters and their families out of Douma. Just hours
after the alleged attack, Jaish al-Islam, which controlled the town, brokered a deal through Russia
to surrender in return for safe passage out of government-besieged eastern Ghouta.
Once the last fighters have been evacuated, the Syrian government will retake control of Douma.
Some medical workers worry that the evidence of the attack could be diluted or destroyed in
attempt to cover up the incident.

You should withdraw the money from the loan, pay off the loan, then start trading options. You have enough to day trade if needed to exit early.
Start with vertical spreads and stay under $5 wide and you can make a pretty steady income.

## Speaker_0: ##
[Mike and his Whiteboard](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPVve34yolHY43YaBegHMzN9WjrTnQfFr) is a good place to start. I would recommend opening a Tastyworks account and load it up with like $1000 once you have the concepts down. I never liked paper trading because I feel like no one takes it seriously because there is no risk. I didn't learn shit until I put real money down. I recommend tastyworks when first starting out because $1 commissions is extremely low and you can get full options permissions from the start (other brokerages you apply for options levels).
Vertical spreads are nice for new traders and with low account balances, you can scale up and down with the width of the spread and can be both bullish and bearish with verticals.
Here's a few articles to read a bit further if you're interested in starting with verticals.

Really hoping that someone can take some time to explain how any of this works.
This is incredible.
## Speaker_1: ##
In it's simplest form it's buying contracts you hope will be worth more at a later date. One small but important caveat is every contract has a lifespan so there is the risk of it expiring worthless or worth far less than what you initially paid for it.

I understand the call portion, but how were the gains so huge???
## Speaker_1: ##
His cost basis was really low and he has a lot of contracts. It's our collective wet dream. The first line says he purchased 15 contracts for $0.70 or $1,050 in total. Then the value of that 1 contract went to $30. So now those 15 contracts would go for $45K.
Basically buying a shit ton of cheap contracts and having them gain 4,169% in value is how this happens.
## Speaker_2: ##
How does 15 x .7 = 1050

I post about this specifically because people here are pumping this as a "sure thing" and somebody needs to let people know there is a ton of risk in buying a stock trading above its value out of speculation that a court ruling or congress will behave in the way you want them to. Until the administration presents its plan -- assuming the plan will somehow favor you is gambling and speculation -- not a sure thing. And Mnuchin specifically told congress he is not considering recap and release and that those who think he is are misunderstanding him. He also said to congress that there will not be a giant bailout and that there will be a bipartisan solution. There is a lot of risk that comes with this type of uncertainty. If you want to downvote me for making people aware of the risks, then you're just an asshole that wants people to potentially lose everything on a "sure thing".

If by "government intervention", you mean, NASA is buying an off-the-shelf product made by SpaceX, then true.
Tesla benefits from ZEV credits and indirectly from EV subsidies.
You might also say that they got tax breaks, when building the gigafactory, but other car makers receive just as big tax breaks for much smaller factories.
## Speaker_3: ##
> If by "government intervention", you mean, NASA is buying an off-the-shelf product made by SpaceX, then true.
Because the US Government specifically reduced their funding and told them to use SpaceX and to promote privately funded space projects.
If that ever got reversed, they could very well go back to doing things on their own.
## Walls1337bot: ##
> and told them to use SpaceX
The US government didn't tell them to use SpaceX.
SpaceX won over 12 other companies, including Boeing and Lockheed Martin in completing all milestones of the COTS program and deliver a finished rocket and payload system.
The COTS program was entirely administered by NASA themselves.
But if SpaceX ever loses NASA as a customer, they will be fine, as only 1/3 of their launch manifest is NASA related.
The Falcon 9 is an incredibly successful rocket on its own merit.

From my understanding, people are saying he’s “insane” because they’re being extremely disingenuous and taking a quote of his purposefully extremely out of context. It’s as if nobody that’s criticizing him has watched the entire interview he said the quote in.

Kindle and AWS actually make sense, though. The Fire Phone was priced the same as a high-end Android or iPhone, limited only to a single provider, limited to a smaller app store than other Android devices, and just generally didn't offer anything anyone gave a fuck about.
It was like he'd been planning it since the iPhone originally came out and was only on AT&T, because that's the only point in time his plan made sense.
