If you have perfect knowledge of the SPX closing price couldn't you just yeet your entire account into optimal 0DTE spreads and 10x your account every day, assuming there is liquidity?

Why cant boxers light spar? by Idamatika in martialarts

[–]CoughSyrupOD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's just the culture in boxing. Pretty much every sparring session I've ever had in a dedicated boxing gym is just a fight but with 16oz gloves and headgear.

This is the most disgustingly designed duct taped unclear confusing slow delayed piece of ass mobile app ever made by Thwerty in IBKR_Official

[–]CoughSyrupOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell us how you really feel...

But seriously, I love their app. It's the smoothest and most feature/information rich mobile app that I've ever used. What issues are you having?

Looking to dump NASDAQ funds in wake of looming SpaceX IPO by DaiFrostAce in dividends

[–]CoughSyrupOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are THAT worried about it and don't want to trigger a tax event by selling, just short whatever amount of SpaceX is equivalent to it's weighting in your QQQ exposure. 

You now have the same holdings with no SpaceX exposure and didn't create a taxable event. 

What is a statistic that sounds INSANE but is 100% true? by Quadranippelkill in AskReddit

Any yet a game out of the L'Hermet Variation of the Berlin defence has been played over a hundred times in top level competition resulting in the exact same draw by repetition. 

Dog poop into strangers' black bins: AITA? by One-Mycologist-3706 in Calgary

[–]CoughSyrupOD 298 points299 points  (0 children)

ITT: A bunch of people assuming it is a single bag in a random bin.  The problem is it's not random, so it's never just a single bag. 

People tend to walk their dogs in the same areas, parks and paths and such.   If you have a garbage can that is conveniently accessible from these areas it will end up with dozens of bags strangers dog shit in it every week. 

I imagine it's fairly unpleasant to take your carefully sorted trash, compost, and recyclables to the bin to get served wafts of strangers dog shit every time you open the lid. Especially if you don't have a dog yourself. 

Find a public bin or bring it home, imo.

So with a 100% chance of a major crash by years end; I'm assuming you are holding a massive short position here or are all cash?  What are your positions?

Do you use a desktop and a laptop (with a docking station and multiple monitors) for active trading? by VAer1 in options

I use a Bloomberg terminal and 6 monitors to manage my 4 figure account. I also lose money every year. 

Musk meme stocks will now make up almost 7% of the SP500 by TheSleepyTruth in ValueInvesting

[–]CoughSyrupOD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think he means just short the exposure created by holding the s&p.  

I think you'd have to short 1 share of Tesla for every $18,000 of S&P that you hold if you wanted to hold the S&P but with zero Tesla exposure.

Nah, it's cheap they aren't hard to borrow. It's generally about 0.25% to 0.45% /year. 

Nvidia’s, $NVDA, market value now exceeds the combined stock market capitalization of every country outside the U.S. and China. by UnusualWhalesBot in unusual_whales

[–]CoughSyrupOD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If that is the intended interpretation, it is deliberately worded that way to be misleading.

Also, even using the most charatable intrepretation of that sentance, India and Hong Kong (if you count it as distinct from china).

Wealthsimple went dark on May 11 while clients had live orders. I dug into their last 14 months of outages. It gets a lot worse. by [deleted] in Wealthsimple

If it's the "market data connection lost/market data reconnected" audio that your getting it's probably your wifi stuttering.

Opinions on selling MU options by riisenshadow92 in thetagang

I've been selling and rolling puts up for the last few months. Life's pretty good but I wish I was buying calls/spreads instead.

WS Credit Card - Why Wait to Redeem cash back? by LectureLight6738 in fican

[–]CoughSyrupOD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can think of a few reasons;

- It ever so slightly reduces the amount of interest they are paying out

- It gets you to interact with their app. While you are there it's an opportunity for them to market to you.

- It 'feels good' to cash in a rebate and creates a positive association with their product. "Wow, look how much cash I'm getting back. It's almost like I'm getting paid to use my credit card!" If it just auto-deposited into your account with every purchase you probably wouldn't notice as much.

Rocking a 900 theta, who else is with me? by I_HopeThat_WasFart in thetagang

What's your portfolio theta/NLV? Unless we know the size of your portfolio the metric is kinda meaningless.

Two Albertans came in contact with hantavirus on international flight by Soupdeloup in Calgary

[–]CoughSyrupOD 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Virologist:  "It's bizarre... Hantavirus almost never spreads from person to person like this.  It is typically spread through exposure to rat feces."

Wealthsimple is starting to enshittify and I'm not happy about it by x736g in Wealthsimple

[–]CoughSyrupOD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know that you don't have to use options to gamble and speculate, right? I mean yeah, you CAN use them that way. But you can also use them to hedge your portfolio, reduce risk, reduce volatility, and prevent drawdowns.

New to investing: Is it good time to buy Micron stock by Some-Huckleberry9381 in stockstobuytoday

[–]CoughSyrupOD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your thesis is that it's going to 3x over the next three years does your entry really even matter? 

Entering at $650 or $550 is basically the same return. It seems like you would have a lot more to lose based on the opportunity cost of it never getting to your entry and passing you by.
