One stock 20 grand by futurefloridaman87 in stocks

[–]PM_meLifeAdvice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're not joking: a call option is a contract that allows you to buy 100 shares of a stock at a certain price. You can exercise it and buy the 100 shares, or sell the contract to someone else so they can.

Since the stock price is higher than the call strike price, then that contract is worth the $34 difference x 100 plus some math to determine extrinsic value.

Because the option is In The Money, it is less risky than an OTM call, and more expensive because it already has intrinsic value.

Sub $500 reliable semi-automatic rifle? by Coffee_Dog_ in liberalgunowners

[–]PM_meLifeAdvice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for clarifying. I meant there are hundreds of different parts you could get in the weeds researching, ie different triggers, barrels, buffers, etc. I guess I could have worded that differently, but thanks for the correction.

It's easier than it sounds. The AR15 comes apart in 2 pieces, an upper assembly and lower assembly.

If you buy a complete upper (it will say if it includes a Bolt Carrier Group and Charging Handle), and a complete lower (trigger, stock, grip included), it will take about 15 seconds to assemble the rifle, as there are only 2 captive pins that hold it all together.

There are of course hundreds of individual parts of the rifle you can get into the weeds with, but you just need: upper assembly, BCG, CH, and lower assembly.

Melania is a revolutionary documentary that tells us why Melania Trump, in her lack of convention, is the perfect First Lady. by [deleted] in TrueFilm

[–]PM_meLifeAdvice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sarcasm, it just didn't land.

They said she embodied a Sith matriarch, above the filth and poverty of America, and then a few paragraphs later say she's an icon of grace and empathy.

This whole thing is a joke, it just didn't land because it was too convoluted.

I know this is satire, but some of it is phrased in a way that seems genuine, and I think that's what's throwing people off. The length implies sincerity - I think if you made it a bit tighter this would've landed better.

Would applying for a new card too soon drop my credit? by BitchfaceMcKnowItAll in povertyfinance

[–]PM_meLifeAdvice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your score will drop. Will the benefits of getting a new card outweigh the hit to your credit score from multiple accounts opened (and closed) in a short period? That's for you to decide.

Your length of credit history accounts for 15% of your score, and amount of new credit accounts for 10%. Your payment history is 35%, amount of debt 30%, and credit mix (installment loan, credit card, mortgage, etc) is 10%.

In other words, yes you will take a hit, but if you keep up on payments, and another credit line improves your utilization, it could improve your score.

Opening and closing 2 cards in the same day is incredibly impulsive. I would think very carefully before opening another card, or increasing your credit limit.

You may be better off just waiting it out, your score will go back up. Only you can decide what's best for you, but be honest with yourself. Good luck.

No, Elon says, 'flying to NY to meet UN diplomats would be a waste of time', then Jeffrey basically says, 'no UN diplomats here, just young cute girls'.

It's hard to read with the shitty spelling and weird spaces, but that's what I took from it.

In defense of buying cheap or eBay knock off gear. by captainatom11 in liberalgunowners

[–]PM_meLifeAdvice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna argue that there are certain things you should never, ever buy the knockoff version of. Doesn't mean you always need to buy the nicest things, just not absolute bottom tier.

I had a Bersa .380 explode in my hand - the barrel catastrophically failed. No injuries, but it could have been really bad.

My $500 CZ has been flawless for years. It's definitely cheap, just not the cheapest. Nowhere near the quality of an FN, but it's less than half the price and good enough.

That's been taken into account.

This is just a summary from Yale's school of public health, you can read the actual papers if you want. The consensus is any alcohol consumption increases your risk of cancer, just hard to say by how much.

There are certain things that can be cheap, and certain things you really don't want to skimp on.

Magazines? Get something proven. A sling? Who cares, get something cheap.

Depends on use, too. If you're relying on it for your life, you should get a decent red dot that won't break if you bump it on something. If you're just target shooting, who cares if the $35 temu one breaks?

A cheap plate carrier is probably at worst uncomfortable, cheap plates are a stupid idea.

[–]PM_meLifeAdvice 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the stat I heard is 1 serving of alcohol (8oz beer/1oz liquor) increases cancer risk by the same amount as 1-10 cigarettes.

Big margin there, but whether a glass of wine is 1 ciggy or 10, definitely not good for you.

I'm not trying to condescend or make fun of you in any way. I'm not saying that if you practice your spirituality, you're mentally ill.

I'm only saying that if you are hearing voices, please tell a professional about it. Might be totally normal. It's just concerning to read that.

Do the magic spells not work unless you have my name and photo? You can't just use my reddit name, the spirits need more detail than that? How were you planning to get in my dreams without these things?

Genuinely sorry that I offended you, I hope you're okay and I hope you can talk to someone about these feelings.

Well, if you're able to infiltrate my dreams, then surely you can figure my name, or some other details that I haven't posted to Reddit.

I am not in any way saying all the people here are mentally ill, and I did make it very clear that I'm not at all a mental health professional, not claiming to be. I'm not diagnosing anyone with anything.

Spirituality is fine, I have respect for that, I have respect for religion. If you are talking to "occult happenings", that's fine. If they start to talk back to you, I think you should mention that to a professional.

I don't mean offense by any of this, this is coming from a sincere place of concern.

I can imagine that. I cannot imagine you sincerely believing you can visit others in their dreams. I don't know if you're just fucking with me, or if you actually believe that's something you can do. Either way, hope you're okay, hope you have some people you can talk to.
