I read all that but I didn't understand very much lol but it was funny. The_Rural_Juror has much to be proud of. What a gem of a poster.

Also the closest I’ve been to a CFA was inside one... she had a lot in common with an option contract as well. Highly volatile, and the entire experience expired worthless... but what a ride!

But seriously... how can you NOT toss some 89coupe worth of lunch money at some options when this is America... fucking Trump basically just told everyone that Boeing isn’t gonna fail. Say what you will about WSB... but pretty hilarious sometimes

That made no sense because higher volatility increases the value of the contract to the buyer. Just sayin. Should I turn my autism off now?

Not the volatility of the underlying security... the volatility of the contract, keep up!

This also makes no sense.

The problem with glamorization of quick low information gains, based purely on luck, is that it encourages people to do the same. People are desperate in these times and it encourages them to buy low probability plays focusing solely on the potential rewards without acknowledging the risks involved. This is why people piled onto dumb plays like USO and HTZ. Turning a lot of everyday ExtraJoes into ExtraPo's.

I actually respect the people who post loss porn on wsb because they show the reality of what could happen. Sure, one could say that you only gamble what you can afford to lose - but that's super stupid without knowing what your probability of gains are. At least with 649, you know it's one in 13,983,816. If you are going to lose money, you "minus whale" donate to a charity, as opposed to an investment bank, or wait to bet on Buc games. At least you know that Tom's got a bum ankle and Gisele isn't pleased with moving to the mosquito infested armpit of America. Is Gronk really going to be able to take TE1 snaps after a year of snacking on Cheetos and TV appearances including this one?

Wtf would you call something that can literally move 1000s of percents a day than volatile?! Now you’re just being obtuse for the sake of being an overly edumicated prick

This is no different than heading off to the casino, some people are hurting right now, others are saving hundreds a day on restaurants, bars, and parking. The markets are fucked, the volatility is comical, trump says the stupidest shit. Might as well strangle some shit. Minimal losses, unlimited gains as long as shit moves. This isn’t the long term, fixed income investing thread. It’s the short term thread, risk adjusted blah, blah, bullshit went out the window months ago, we’re about 2 months away from everyone’s saving being nationalized anyways. Might as well have some entertainment

Everyone's savings being nationalized? You mean pensions or bank accounts?
