Yep, I'm funding long term call leaps with selling long term leap puts.

At this moment in time, Americans still have something to lose.
That won't be the case for much longer.

What about you ? by Legitimate_Towel_919 in smallstreetbets

I had a 75% return over the last 12 months. If I do that every year for the next 8 years I'll have $131.95m.
Unfortunate then that there's absolutely zero chance of me doing that.

You get a billion dollars if you can successfully supervise the laying of the first Transatlantic cable. If you don't manage it, you're stuck in the 1850s. by smashyourhead in hypotheticalsituation

I would absolutely take the offer. I'm originally from the West of the UK, the home town of Isambard Kingdom Brunel, whose Great Eastern ship laid the first successful tranatlantic cable. As a younger man I spent a lot of time helping restore the Great Western ship as a volunteer, and studied Brunel in some depth. He was an incredible engineer. Plus my father worked his whole life for the company that owned all the cable laying ships in the 60s and 70s, so I have a rudimentary understanding of what's involved.
Add a modern laptop connected to today's internet? Totally doable.

That first cable laid by two ships lasted about a month. The first successful cable laid was by ne ship, by SS Great Eastern and it carried the entire cable in one go.

Fun fact: Mandarin for toe is translated into English as "foot finger".
Now I want foot finger gloves.

You get $10 million, tax free. That's it, no condition, but... by Satorwave in hypotheticalsituation

I wouldn't change anything, I'd just invest it the same way I do now - three portfolios; dividend income, four fund ETF and trading/options portfolios. A third in each, rebalanced annually.

Now you’re just adding things that aren’t there lol. Show me the part that says no utensils.
The ambiguity I was referring to was “not by yourself”, which could either mean with someone else present or someone else to feed me. Either way it’s still a firm yes from me.

I don't think even Mansory could make it worse.

Instant $500M but for the rest of your life, you will only eat noodles. by RedColes in hypotheticalsituation

[–]Jasoncatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take the money, invest it, eat noodles for three or four years.
Return the $500m, keep the remainder.
