That's fucking ridiculous. I had to look it up because I thought you were bullshitting. You weren't bullshitting.
The last few years I've finally hit an aging downturn where I'm starting to wonder if I'm in a coma and this shit is all fever dreams.
Or maybe I'm in shitty, off-brand version of "Roy" where the game is too bugged to be playable, or even realistic.
## Speaker_3: ##
I've been half-convinced that I killed myself in a mescaline based freakout freshman year of college, and all of this is the drug induced dream manifesting in my brain in the moments leading up to brain death.
But then I realize, even my dumbass brain couldn't conceive a reality this stupid.

No surprise. SoftBank probably forced all the current executives outs and putting their own in. Right now they have their COO in WeWork to "reorganize and reform their leadership."

## Walls1337bot: ##

He can fire the board any time and reappoint himself as CEO if he really wanted to. But then Softbank would probably go nuclear.

My question is how much money has JP Morgan made on puts? I doubt they lost 10%.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Banks don’t really trade with their own money. They execute trades for clients so this isn’t really how it works
## Speaker_1: ##
Um, wat?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Yup banks don’t really prop trade
## Speaker_2: ##
That's what they want you to think
## Walls1337bot: ##
The fact you say this means you know nothing about what actually happens. There are people at every bank in risk, compliance, and internal audit dedicated to Volcker compliance. Even if you think risk and compliance groups are corrupt (they’re not) Internal audit acts independently and doesn’t let this shit happen. There are also regulators that look at banks compliance with Volcker every year.
Additionally, even outside of Volcker, if banks were prop trading, numerous areas around the bank would be privy to it. Their CFO team, CCAR team, accounting team and the risk, compliance, and audit groups that act as lines of defense over these groups would see this. And the regulators looking over these groups would see this.
There is no possible way banks would have any sort of significant prop trading without being found out almost immediately.
People want to think the world is a giant conspiracy against them, but don’t understand how things work

Shit concept. I'm not spending $60 for 3 meals for 2 people a week. I can spend less and get more. This doesn't give you leftovers for lunch. It's exactly just enough food for two people for one meal. Some people like that you don't have to buy more and waste food, but it's like someone coming up to you and saying, "I can sell you a bag of potatoes for $3, or 2 potatoes for $7." It makes no sense to me.
It tries to hit this weird middle ground of people that don't care about their money and are too lazy to learn how to cook, but not lazy enough to not want to cook. If I'm lazy, I'm just going to order take out, not have someone give me cheap meals with a ton of creme fraiche.
I did get my first 3 meals for $20 and then immediately canceled my sub as soon as it showed up to my door though. The icepacks were nice and I saved them.
## Speaker_1: ##
I did this with three different meal delivery services. It's actually a great product. Terrible value if you're at all conscious about your money.

My wife and I have been married for almost 10 years and every Christmas we talk about what we would love to get, knowing very well they are waaay out of our price range. Well this year I made about $14k on weed stocks and never told my wife to surprise her for Christmas this year and finally get her the one thing she has dreamed of getting since she was a kid...a cello!
Here’s where y’all come in. r/wallstreetbets has made learning the market an absolute blast and I’ve had the best laughs. I’ve never felt more alive while learning, screwing up (a lot), and winning. So really, from the bottom of my blackened hole I call a heart, thank you r/wallstreetbets. Y’all are the gayest group of autists I’ve ever seen and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
## Speaker_1: ##
Not sure how the fuck you made anything let alone 14K following this sub. You could’ve got a beginner Cello on amazon for 200 bucks, you didn’t really need to invest for it...your wife may have left you, but that would’ve been an equivalent win.
## Speaker_0: ##
Lol it’s not the direct info from this sub that helped me win, but more of the fact opened my mind to other possibilities. I was staying in the tech market (Apple, Amazon, Netflix) and not really going anywhere but too afraid to venture off. Y’all started to talk about $TLRY and other weed stocks and that led me to researching it which in turn provided me the confidence to go out and try some calls.
As for the cello, it’s was only $1300 and since we don’t have any debts (so nothing to pay off) but also can’t just typically splurge that kind of money, I knew I had to get the exact one that she always wanted.
## Speaker_1: ##
Excellent that leaves you with $12,700 left to YOLO. Get back to work my friend, you’re not done here.

They just play monthly option expiration games by running unconfirmed trade deal news. Does no one think the timing is suspicious ?

The entire trade war is a false flag. I've read navarro's book and he is not really this stupid.
## Speaker_0: ##
Can you elaborate a bit on this, please?
## Speaker_1: ##
Peter Navarro is a good coherent economist IMO. The issues he describes in Death by China span FAR beyond trade or anything we would be able to fix with tariffs, IP rights, and currency constraints. My conspiracy is that Trump is a crisis actor planted in the U.S. govt by the global elite with the intention of global currency reset. China and the IMF want to use SDR as the global reserve currency instead of USD... the tangent conspiracy is that Trump is not interested in the global currency reset but is using the trade wars as ammunition to stabilize asset prices during QT.
I will literally believe anything other than whats actually going on

I don't care much that he donated, but it kind of annoys me donated to Kevin McCarthy, Dennis Hastert and Dana Rohrabacher. These people are the idiots of the Republican Party. Elon has the opportunity to support candidates who can bring the GOP closer to the ideals of small government and farther away from the (generally) stupid social policies. Yes, I know he also donated a bunch of money to a general PAC. But it isn't a few Republicans who are the problem, the majority of the party doesn't stand for what they say they do.

I don't think you understand. We do not sell the stock ever. If we sell then the price doesn't go up anymore, so we hold in perpetuity.

Holding doesn’t make the price go up either, buyers do, and in order to buy there needs to be something for sale...
## Walls1337bot: ##
We can create infinitely more shares. It's just a digital number nowadays.
## Speaker_0: ##
price only rise if people buy it, the market chart reflects what people are doing buying / selling if 1000 people just buy, yes the price will rise but just holding it won't make the price rise.
## Walls1337bot: ##
If we hold and refuse to sell, potential buyers will be forced to increase their offer until they can purchase a share.
When their offer gets high enough we can change some 0's to 1's and create a new share for them to purchase.

Working on diversifying but most of my money is liquid until I find the next thing I really believe in. I feel like people can get into a mindset where they feel their money should be in the market so they buy into garbage they barely researched because “time in the market” and all that. My first trade was in August

WTF happened. His whole optionsellers.com website got taken down with only contact info left there. All of his YouTube videos got deleted. He is acting like he just betrayed the face of the world. God, how much money did this dude lose?
## Speaker_1: ##
About $50M-70M I would guess. Some of the 260 investors probably went all in with their retirement savings.
Edit: someone here posted min was 2M. Not sure if that was per person or as a whole. If it was per person the minimum loss would be 520M.
## Speaker_2: ##
Pretty sure he said 290 investors. At $2 mill that’s only ~$6,800/person. Definitely $2 mill per person.
## Speaker_3: ##
Ya, don't see how he could possibly be upset about losing 2 million total, like surely that's a normal weekly, maybe even daily, swing for a firm this size on a bad day/week?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Where are you getting that they only lost 2 mil? They lost everything + more. Every investors account is now $0 AND they actually owe money because the fund lost even more then they had. If you put 2mil into this fund you now not only have lost it all, on top of that you owe money to cover the funds margin debt

That is called writing options. If you have the balls for it, you can lose more money than you have.
## Speaker_0: ##
Sell spreads. All the joy of writing options, but you are able to define your downside risk
## Walls1337bot: ##
I understand that the math is there and is actually pretty sound. But, writing options are margin even if the math checks out, freaks me out. I only have the balls of a mere mortal.
## Speaker_0: ##
You don't need balls at all.
Let me give you an example of how tiny of balls you need.
While amd is in the 12s I am writing $12/$11 put spreads.
I write (sell) the Jan 2018 $12 puts, and buy an equal amount of $11 Jan 2018 puts.
For each pair of those contracts, there is .40 ($40)net credit.
My maximum loss per contract pair is .60 ($60) ((difference in strikes of the spread ($1) minus premium collected (.40)). No matter how low AMD drops I can only lose a maximum of $60 per pair of contracts I sell. So each pair only requires $60 of buying power so with only a $600 account I could write 10 pairs of those contract for a profit of $400 at expirery.
At expirery if AMD is above $12 I will profit $40 per contract. If it below $11 I will lose $60 per contract. $11.60 is my breakeven where I don't profit or lose.
For each contract I write I am risking $60 to make $40 and there is 110 days to expirery. That is a 66% return for 3.5 months. I am incredibly confident these contracts will expire worthless. If they do that is an incredible return for 110 days.
When you use spreads there is 0 unknown. There is no need to have balls. When I sell the spread I know how much I can make and I know exactly how much I can lose.

Sure. Say you have $10 million diversified across a healthy mix of stocks and bonds. With index funds you can be incredibly hands-off.
Even a 2% withdrawal rate from that portfolio provides a $200k/yr salary.
Some wealthy people choose to be active, but they don't have to be.
## Speaker_2: ##
Sounds like someone actively working to maintain their status to me. Sure not very hard but to argue your point, someone born into 10 million and given control of it could blow if they tried, or at least not maintain that status.

Let it be known to all: AMD cannot be bought. They lose their X86 license (from Intel) if they are acquired, and would thus lose the ability to develop CPUs.
## Speaker_1: ##
Alphabet has enough capital to buy any license, easy solution
## Speaker_2: ##
that's not how it'd work out. amd owns x64 and licenses it out to intel, and intel owns x86. they rely on each other and without each other neither of them could produce desktop cpus. if someone were to buy amd, they would also own the x64 license and intel wouldn't have any choice but to continue to license x86 for amd's x64.
## Speaker_3: ##
You seem to know more about this than I do, but wouldnt nvidia be at a bigger disadvantage since basically all high end computing is done on the x64 platform? If they lose it they would be more disadvantaged than amd losing the x86 platform, no?
## Walls1337bot: ##
Not that simple. x64 is an extension of x86. x64 cannot function without x86 and on the flipside, everyone has (mostly) moved away from plain old x86 (32-bit) to the x64 extension (64-bit)

## Speaker_2: ##
he means not having to work to live while others do have to work to support his needs you troll fck
## Speaker_1: ##
If labor is so needed why is it near worthless then?
## Speaker_3: ##
Citation needed. A more accurate statement would be /u/shoepidgeon’s labor is near worthless, which is a different discussion.
## Speaker_1: ##
Just look at wages, stagnant to the point of actual decline for almost everyone. If you want to claim it's because productivity has plateaued that leads to the same conclusion. Labor is obsolete.
## Speaker_3: ##
Wages being stagnant is a different thing than labor being worthless. Try again.
## Speaker_1: ##
If wages aren't enough to support people the market doesn't value labor.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The market doesn't value minimum wage labor that's why it's minimum wage, garbage collection is unskilled labor and makes around $85k per year and can retire with 75% of it pay at 55 (https://www.ocregister.com/2010/11/24/forget-100k-execs-what-about-85k-garbage-men/)
That's more than enough to support a family, it's just hard thankless work, however society decided it was worth a lot more than basic customer service. Don't blame the market because you don't want to do the job that the market finds valuable.
## Speaker_1: ##
Anecdotes are cool, the median salary for a garbage man is 34k. The market doesn't really value that. They probably have a militant union.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Got a source for that? Nation wide annual salary for garbage truck drivers is $40k (https://money.cnn.com/2016/02/24/news/economy/trash-workers-high-pay/index.html). Not including any overtime which could easily bump them to $50k+. And can obviously be much higher in big cities

That sounds misguided, not really socialist. If they were talking about having the government seize Tesla factories and operating them under the public sector, that would be socialist.

Why do I always lose money and why are you fucking me with your market?
## Speaker_1: ##
This is a deceptively good question. You always lose money because you have no idea of the fair value of the price of the option you're trading.
Market makers have a fair value, and they make their market around it. So if we think an option is worth $10 we'll show a $9 bid and an $11 offer. This means that every time we do a trade we make money, and the corollary of that means that every time you trade against a market maker's quote without knowing the fair value of the option then there's almost 100% chance you're losing money right out of the gates.
We're fucking nobody with our markets. If you want to show a tighter bid/ask than us feel free to do so. We quantify the risks of every trade and ask for sufficient edge to trade it, and that's what determines the width of the market.
## Walls1337bot: ##
So i'll bid $9.01 then and sell at $10.99 to steal your tendies hehehe

Insider trading creates a more efficient market, so not quite on the level of the onion. Depends on priorities
## Speaker_1: ##
Lmao just keep regurgitating whatever he says.
Insider trading creates an imbalance where 1% reaps the rewards of knowing while 99% get screwed.
## Speaker_2: ##
It’s not just him, plenty of economists think this. It’s absolutely a fact that insider trading causes stability in the markets and makes markets more efficient. You may not think it’s fair “muh 99%” but that’s reality for ya.
## Speaker_1: ##
The stability is created by the news of an event. A small group acting on this prior to the rest of the shareholders knowing doesn’t affect the stability of any asset. Check the sources on who you think is an economist. There’s a reason it sends people to prison in regulated markets.
## Speaker_2: ##
Idk is Milton Friedman an economist? Not sure. The stability is caused by insiders bidding the price up or down because they trade on secret information which leads the price to its equilibrium. When this news is leaked it doesn’t send shockwaves through the market like it would if there was no insider trading because the price is actually reflective of the true value.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Considering the fact that their paltry individuals shares ain’t worth shit against the market cap, they aren’t market setting crap, they are only benefitting off having confidential information

He thought he bought options expiring in Oct 2019 for a really good price. Turns out 10/19 means October 19, 2018.
## Speaker_2: ##
Can you explain the 138 part, if the price was 60 with a break even at 61
## Speaker_1: ##
All options contracts are for 100 shares. So if the price of a contract is $1.38 per share it's actual price is $138.
An option Call lets you buy 100 shares at the strike price ($60 in this case). So if he buys 100 shares at $60, he would need to sell them at $61.38 per share in order to break even.
## Speaker_3: ##
I might be super dumb but why does he need to sell them at $61.38 to break even? Fees? (For the record I never bought anything, I don't even know how to do so eventhough I'd like to get started).
## Speaker_4: ##
He paid a fee of $138 for the option to buy 100 shares, which equates to $1.38 per share. So the break even price is $60 + $1.38 per share.
## Speaker_3: ##
Oh right. I'm dumb, thanks for the explanation!

For me it comes down to how it's going to open. Value will be all over the place the morning of, but they seem to expect it to settle quite high (IMO).
Right now Spotify is claiming they're a $23B company (one that only loses money--and a lot of it--thus far, not that that's been detrimental to other tech stocks) and that they've traded shares privately at something like $120/shr (don't have the info on screen anymore, but around there).

That's not true at all. He bought the team for $285mm and it's currently worth $1.4b, not to mention the fact that the team turns a profit (~40mm a year). If anything, owning a sports team is what's keeping his net worth afloat.

Not to mention the millions hes paid in fines, and the fact that the Mavericks averaged almost -$10mm lost per year for the first decade and a half he owned the team, accounting for inflation tells me his investment wasn't as good as you'd think

## Speaker_3: ##
That ship sailed a looong time ago.
## Speaker_4: ##
Then why is the market.still mooning on his bs?
## Speaker_5: ##
because the president generally has a low amount of influence over the growth of the s&p overtime?
## Walls1337bot: ##
You’re not seeing growth, you’re seeing volatility. If we are at a constant average and volatility is introduced, then you can reach new highs, it’ll just be coupled with stronger lows. The average remains the same, volatility just increased (which the president can DEFINITELY effect as we’ve seen)

How much money do you usually throw away at bad picks? Why would apple go up 12% in 2 weeks?
## Walls1337bot: ##
I tossed $40k at Rite Aid during the roller coaster. Ended up turning that around into a 20% profit (Among other yolo's). As for reasoning, I have a gut feeling aapl is going to surprise us on the 12th with a bunch of magic. It won't be surprising to me if we see aapl hit $191 that week.
MU, we have earnings at the end of the month and I am anticipating the run up to continue. All signs here are looking green.

Everyone wants to be rich and at the same time don’t want other people to be rich. “hE’S nOT rIcH ENoUgH”
## Speaker_1: ##
They don't want people to get rich off their tax paid money.
## Speaker_0: ##
Except no one digs into the details of the expense. Let’s just ignore the benefits of a trillion dollar company having it’s headquarters in a city. Surely no tax revenues would be generated from the jobs nor would anyone spend money in the city who works at the company. The media likes to take a very elementrary look at this and focus on someone making a lot of money.
## Speaker_2: ##
If the average salary is $125k, that $12.5B will pay for 25k employees for four years. After that, it's all tax money, which will break even in ~25-50 years, depending on how many jobs get automated into oblivion.
## Speaker_3: ##
I honestly can’t believe that NY is this desperate to have Amazon HQ.
## Walls1337bot: ##
NYC metro is 20 million fucking people. 25k jobs, even paying $125k+, is not going to have a noticeable impact. Yes this is a good thing for the economy over the next 10-20 years but it's not huge. NYC will definitely get back more than $2.5 billion in payroll taxes alone, though.
## Speaker_4: ##
If you don't live in NYC, I wouldn't suggest commenting on this. If you do, you are delusional. The railroad and subways are strained as is, and real estate prices are extremely expensive as is.
## Walls1337bot: ##
I can't speak to the yellow line specifically but adding 25,000 people to a city of ~20,800,000 is not going to spike real estate prices in what is already one of the most expensive locales in the country. And this ignores the fact that this won't magically drop 25,000 new residents in Queens, a lot of those employees will come from other companies already in NYC.
And for fuck's sake there is nothing so special about NYC that you can't comment intelligently on it if you don't live there, but for what it's worth I did live there for several years.

## Speaker_2: ##
It’s not that at all, more like a decent percentage of their users were not addressable through advertising because they’re bots. Therefore their effective DAU/MAU number is actually lower.
## Speaker_3: ##
Yes but it's also never actually been higher.. all revenue Twitter has ever made comes from the real active users and this figure has never been higher than it currently is.
## Speaker_4: ##
A certain level of growth was absolutely already accounted into the price though. That growth didn't happen in full. Combine with the Facebook crisis and the shadowbanning crisis for Twitter itself and it's future profitability outlook that was already slightly murky just because flat out opaque.
You just can't have zero revenue growth, almost zero net income growth, and significantly lower user usage and expect stocks to hold onto the ~50% stock gains made this quarter. It was definitely way over valued.

We've been shit at making steel for a very long time. There is like, minimal steel production left here. Nobody is going to build more steel mills or foundries because they know that the second that petulant child is out of office the tariffs are going away.
What we do do, is make things out of Iron and Steel. That we import from China.
Even at 25% tariff, Chinese steel and iron is ***still cheaper than US steel and iron***.
All these tariffs did was levy a 25% tax on materials for what little manufacturing there is left in this country.

1. We're shit at making steel. I concede this point. It has nothing to do with my argument.
2. I acknowledge that Chinese steel is still cheaper. The question is what effect this has on our purchase orders from China. China does not see the tariff. The negative ramifications of the tariff from their perspective come from reduced purchase orders, which they are dealing with currently.
3. We're in no shortage of the things steel helps us construct. We have no stadium, corporate real estate, multifamily shortage in this country. We can do with a 25% (at worst, given a lot of this will be eaten by profit margins) hit in the costs of construction. Maybe YOU can't, because of your line of work, but the economy doesn't revolve around your employment. We have bigger fish to fry.
4. These tariffs HAVE had a huge impact on the Chinese economy - and if we can open Chinese markets to American companies, we will all benefit.

This is fair. I dont know that I agree with it, because I do equipment for chemical plants and pharma manufacturing and oil refineries and that sort of thing instead of general construction, but it is a fair point.
However, to your last point, Chinese stuff is always going to be cheaper in China than American stuff. I dont understand how tariffs, which resulted in China placing retaliatory tariffs against us, are going to make American products more attractive on a Chinese economy?

To put in the most basic way and overgeneralized way.
1. They are still making a margin on products, they are not break even prices.
2. They can't be the worst in the factory unless they use ~~FIFO~~ LIFO inventory method and can't switch inventory recognition at will. US GAAP wont let it happen unless you give a good explanation (like why it's good for the next 3-5 years not 3-5 months).
3. Black Friday name comes accounting. Back in the day red signified loss and black was profit (normal color). Retailers are mostly operating at a loss (red) during most of the year until the holidays, so Black Friday is a day they make into the Black. This is the launch of Black seasonality.
4. Now today mostly retailers keep everything marked up more than they use did previously to stay closer to being near black all year (almost monopolized agreement between retailers) until Wal-Mart arrived and squeezed suppliers because they could. So now it's mostly electronics which Wal-Mart has basically no way to squeeze Sony or Samsung "lower your price or we won't sell it". Don't work for Electronics, it still works for clothing and food. Why? Because electronics are intense value added products while socks and shoes aren't as nearly at that level.
5. This why now black Friday is mostly about TVs and other high value added things most retailers, including Walmart keep marked up all year just for black Friday.
6. Cyber Monday is now something new, to wage retail war against brick and mortar (i.g. Wal-Mart) vs online (i.e. Newegg and Amazon) who exclusively target electronics and steeper discount given the less amount of operating space theu need.

EDIT: SPELLING
Well that's the best I can summarize retail business sustainability theory. I would recommend reading various books or watching YouTube videos on the subject.
## Speaker_2: ##
Old Navy, Hollister, and several other retailers had "50% off everything" signs up. You telling me those clothing retailers have at least a 50% margin on most products? (Yes I know I picked 2 of the lamest retail companies)
## Speaker_3: ##
They have 80-90% margin, so yes.
## Walls1337bot: ##
Holy shit 80-90% margins. Drug dealing is the only thing with higher margins.

You've got two options now:
Chase your high and lose most of that in other risky plays on the market in the coming months.
or
Diversify into solid stocks and ETFs and retire in 5 years, that's seriously life changing money at your age and you should now be thinking defensively.
## Speaker_1: ##
You can't retire on 300-400k at 25... not in this country at least. Swear y'all are acting like this dude is into 7 figures.
## Speaker_2: ##
You cant even retire at 20 with 1 million.
However, you definitely can retire early if you have 450k when you're 20. Invest it and work for a few decades and you can reasonably expect to have 2 million when you're 40 (7% growth per year with a 10k annual contribution).
## Speaker_3: ##
You can retire with 1 million easily.
As long as you have the $1M diversified in the markets, you can withdraw 3.5-4.0% of the total amount practically indefinitely since the S&P 500 has returned 9.8% annualized since basically forever. If you're frugal you can live on $35,000-$40,000 a year.
EDIT: [Here's proof](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinity_study) for the autists thinking you need more to retire on.
## Walls1337bot: ##
The people who say you can't retire on 1 mil are people who think it's inevitable that you have to buy more expensive things all the time. Millions live their entire lives on 40k or less while killing themselves working every day and you're going to tell me you can't make it work when you don't have to do anything at all? Get out of here with that garbage.

How are you not down on the put that you sold?
## Speaker_1: ##
It's called a bearish debit spread, I am down on the put I sold, but the delta of that put is less than the one I bought. It's a fantastic trade because I risked $200 to make $300 if TSLA closes below 245 by 4/20, and I'm guaranteed profit when TSLA is below 248, which it obviously will be. It's a bet on direction rather than price, highly recommend looking it up.
Tendie machine on these high IV stocks
## Speaker_2: ##
I threw on a skewed iron condor. Already had a long put spread at 300/305. Shit is indeed a tendy machine. I've been waiting for this for a long, long time.
## Speaker_1: ##
TSLA is a shit company, anyone who didn't see this coming needed to get their head out of Elon's ass

I bought April 20 300 puts for $1.20 on Feb 26. Sold for $5. They are $53 now :(
