:P
Nah the puts im buying are out to this summer, I'm not a weeklies guy. I've just been following it and when I decided to transfer the funds the fee was $13.50 for a break even of $181 on June 20. Right now it's down to like $9 for $181 on June 20. But fat lot of good it does if it crashes before I can buy the puts.
Could you guys wait until Wednesday? I want to take advantage of the current bump has on my put target
But
What?
This is one thing you don't fuck with. Every time it has been tried, senior citizens say "fuck it, if I'm dying I'm bringing the bastards down with me."
Boomers don't need us for this fight. If the government skips out on social security, the absolute worst people to piss off, get pissed off.
You know what Boomers have? Free time. You know what Boomers are acutely aware of? They're running out of time.
Medicaid? Honestly, they can cut that with minimal fear. Medicare? Same thing.
Social Security? That's pulling the pin on a grenade and playing hot potato with it.
Man, they even complain about it when it isn't even relevant.
The number of times I've heard "blah blah blah, my social security is my investment, blah blah blah, take it over our dead bodies, and we'll leave no inheritance behind" is too damn high
He's serious about it because Putin told him about how great it would be to have a "Russian Panama Canal."
He just needs Denmark and Canada to give up their territorial claims in the artic.
Greenland? Maybe.
Canada? The idiot doesn't have the slightest fucking clue the amount of shit that will cause.
You massively underestimate the old people in this country.
Remarkable?
Law Enforcement has always been pro-authoritarian, since it's inception in the US at least.
They expect you to obey, or die. Particularly if you don't look or do what they think you should.
That's strange. I could have sworn the X plane aircraft test beds for 6th gen fighter were all single wing. I was guessing it would be similar to the x-47B drone
Man in the 2000s it was straight up "Extremist", "Traitor", "snowflake."
That's what so frustrating to see what OP said. That, plus gerrymandering, citizens United, and voter suppression. The GOP has been dismantling the Republic for longer than I've been alive.
Weak? Does this stuff just get fixed overnight?
No. It hasn't. Ever.
Credit goes to my kid for unknowingly creating this masterpiece
Why is there a skinny scary looking kid dancing and laughing
Uh gimme a second seem to have broke the image
I think the important knowledge here is that "shorting" means betting against a stock. There are numerous ways to do this.
A. Buy a "Put" contract at a lower strike price than the current price in the future. At any time between the contract purchase and the expiration date you can exercise it and take your winnings.
B. Short Sell on Margin. Don't do this. Essentially you borrow the stock, sell it right away, then buy it back to return at the lower price.
Maximum loss:
2A: The fee per contract. One "Put Option Contract" is 100 shares * the fee. Say the fee for your strike price is $9. Then you pay $900 for one contract. That is your max loss.
2B: Your margin cap. If you borrowed and sold a share for $245, but it turned around and went up, your loss can be arbitrarily large. Don't margin. It's stupid.
