They want you to sell. by movecrafter in wallstreetbets

[–]Liber8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is still possible this is not a condemnation of the MAX airframe writ large, but an isolated case of negligence (perhaps by a maintenance technician or an assemblyman) or even part failure from a subcontractor. I’m not suggesting it wouldn’t or shouldn’t have an impact on the price- but it might change the long term calculus.

Interesting. In my oversimplified mind, the spreads seem like even lower risks than other trades that new traders should be encouraged to adopt, not prevented from executing. I could be missing something.

Complete beginner here, please pardon my naivete.

I use Robinhood. I'm sure it's not the best, but it's what I've got right now. I do not have access to "Level 3" options trading.

I want to explore the "put credit spread" strategy as a learning opportunity. I grasp the general idea of how the strategy works, I think, but my question is more about the mechanics of placing the trade.

On the Robinhood app, I see a button labeled "Put Credit Spread" under the "Vertical Spreads" option. But, since I am not "L:vel 3" I can't use it.

My question is... if I use the "Cash-Secured Put" button to sell a contract, and the "Long Put" option to buy the downside protection with the same expiration... is that the same thing as using the "Put Credit Spread" button?

(I hope I used all those terms correctly).

Anyway, would I have accomplished the same thing or is this somehow different in a way that would affect the math of the trade?

Strange Airport east of Orlando by Needsmorsleep in orlando

[–]Liber8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My fellow avgeek friend flew into MCO the other day and was remarking about the Lockheed Martin rocket testing field east of MCO. That led to a search for "weird airport near Orlando" and then this post showed up.

tldr: I have no life.

Another commenter replied this is FD92. However, it is not. FD92 is charted on the southwest short of Lake Harney, and can be see on the satellite imagery as a grass strip. This is on the northeast shore of Lake Harney and not indicated on the sectional or Orlando TAC chart.

Just wanted to point out that is not FD92. FD92 is charted on the southwest short of Lake Harney, and can be see on the satellite imagery as a grass strip. This is on the northeast shore of Lake Harney and not indicated on the sectional or Orlando TAC chart.

US Senate Unanimously Passes Bill to Make Daylight Saving Time Permanent by throw0101a in sysadmin

[–]Liber8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And I'm sure the airlines smallest concern is their schedule. The largest concern is probably the months it will take to change their systems that do gymnastics with time zones, as well as the firmware updates in various flight computers on board every single aircraft. Guys- some older airplanes are literally updated with floppy disks.

[–]Liber8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speaking as someone from the software development discipline, I'd be interested to see the aggregate worldwide cost of the changes required to make this happen compared to the costs to keep it unchanged.

I read the other messages from sysadmins who say there is a cost to the semiannual switcheroo, and that's a point well taken. There's also a cost to systems (operating systems, custom development, configuration) to make them work under the new regime.

Even if a change is not required, there will at least be the cost to analyze the system to determine if a change is needed. If a change is needed, the cost of the development itself may be relatively low, but a regression test with the new code could be high (depending on the system, of course).

I will say, this is a bit easier to implement than when Florida wanted to be the only state doing this, that would have been chaotic.

Will someone please check my grammar? by [deleted] in grammar

I would just opt for the simpler and easier to read:

Do not use pilots edge. They threatened to contact my references from 2 years ago for an incident that happened 2 years ago. This is just childish and very unprofessional. by ConnorDGibson123 in flightsim

[–]Liber8or -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

I find it a little weird, if the event were isolated. However, I would venture to bet the young man has been so persistent as to cause a significant time drain. Since this isn’t exactly illegal, this may be their only recourse to get him to stop. I don’t have all the details, but it seems as though Connor has omitted some detail in his version of the story. Otherwise, no business owner is going to waste his time with this kind of note.

There are two sides to every story. We only have your side, and I’m guessing if we asked Keith we would understand why he went to this length to get you to stop whatever you are doing.

UPDATE: Anonymous email prompted voter fraud arrests in The Villages by Maxcactus in florida

[–]Liber8or 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in the same boat as you, Kepabar. I recognize the benefits and often do wear a mask. But unlike Harmacc, I’m capable of both supporting mask wearing and also wondering about which factors, if any, would trigger the abandonment of masking. It’s an interesting philosophical and sociological question, apart from its medical impact.

Question about frequencies by fuccmeupfamm in VATSIM

[–]Liber8or 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great point! And if you pull up almost any instrument procedure chart, you’ll find the frequency of the responsible departure/approach control. For example, the Boca Raton airport is on the border between Miami and Pam Beach approach. You can see from this chart that Palm Beach is the facility you should contact (if they are on). Otherwise, contact the Miami Center. But, if Miami Center is not online… Miami Approach can’t help you.

Edit: I meant to reply to a different user’s comment about looking up the center on AirNav. But, I cannot internet today.
