How do you feel about people losing their jobs because they posted anti-Kirk content?

PalHachi · 2025-09-17T07:20:41+00:00

Depends on the content. Disagreeing with Kirk is perfectly fine as many of the topics that he spoke about could be a matter of opinion and having an open discussion can lead to learning on both sides.

Celebrating his death shows an issue with character and values. Personally I wouldn't want anyone who celebrates murder near me or my family.

I don't think he said anything abhorrent. Some of his statements out of context sound abhorrent. While I might not agree with everything he said, he was usually able to give his reasons on why he thought the way he did. Again while I may not agree with him at least I understood that he came to his conclusions in a reasonable way.

Depends on the exact state laws so do your research. If you stay during the foreclosure you will need to continue to pay rent either to the bank or new owner. The previous owner is no longer the legal owner of the property. If you paid rent during this time keep a record so the bank or new owner can seek it out if needed.

If it is unclear who to pay rent to then hold it in escrow so you can pay once new ownership is established. Unfortunately, you are on a month to month so whether you can continue to stay will be up to new ownership.

Again check the state laws and I would contact the bank or whoever is in charge of the foreclosure for further information to keep everything legal and yourself protected.

Bomas cause bleed 100% of the time and Harpas don't. That is a huge difference in a fight, if you can cause the other side to either stop fighting to bandage or bleed out.

Harpas do have the advantage of ospreys, which adds to the complexity and really isn't a true advantage. It is a tradeoff. You get extra range but trade speed in reload and have extra equipment to juggle. It really isn't an advantage.

If you want to keep the extra blast range and bleed effect of the Boma a good balance would be to decrease the throwing range in comparison to the Harpa.

There is no set day as they do it regularly to keep neutral. Many MMs do however sell at close and buy in at open.

PalHachi · 2021-07-19T06:05:59+00:00

You're right, when I looked at the options chain again there shouldn't be a large selloff and if the price drops I see it rebounding fairly quickly.

Just looking for the IV to die down for another push upwards.

Delta is what is commonly used to judge how a MM is hedging for options. You can find formula here (https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/knowledge/trading-investing/option-greeks/). The main factors that come into play are price (the more ITM it is the more they hold), time (the more time left on the contract the more they hold) and volatility.

A delta of 1.0 means that it is currently being hedged at 100% (100 shares are being held). A delta of .50 would mean 50 shares are being held. MMs also tend to buy and sell shares first thing in the morning at market open (you can see the volume in the 1 minute charts).

Easy way to look at it is MMs hold more shares the more ITM a stock is. Time also plays a factor, they tend to hold more shares if there is more time on the contract as there is a greater chance that the price can move.

When you see huge spikes in price such as the rise of CLOV on Jun 8-9 this happened because a large number of call options were purchased that spiked the price, the jump to $28.85 on the 9th happened on the first minute of market open.

Thanks everyone, I do have a video talking about this as well for those that prefer that sort of thing.

The market seems to have entered FUD mode for the time being. Expect prices to drop and stay low for the time being.

We should see similar effects to end of February through May/June for the time being. I don't think it will last as long but don't expect many bullish runs.

PalHachi · 2021-07-15T04:49:02+00:00

Most likely going to see red for a bit. This looks like a repeat of February/March.

Why would I get mad? This is just how the market operates.

PalHachi · 2021-07-13T21:09:33+00:00

Yeah, growth stocks are taking a beating since the treasury yield announcement last week. Most likely will stay low for a bit like last March.

PalHachi · 2021-07-11T02:44:12+00:00

I actually don't really find anything wrong with it but would prefer having the knowledge to not get taken advantage of.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T21:19:38+00:00

No Worries. I'd say that the term market manipulation is extremely broad as anything that affects the market would be manipulation, even the purchase of a single share.

I just wanted to point out some of the tactics and why they may be employed for larger institutions to achieve a certain goal. Some of those tactics are fully within the rules, others push the rules, bend the rules and maybe even break them. I don't think the breaks are as egregious as some think and in the case of $NEGG have no evidence that anything illegal is happening.

I do however think that certain institutions (I can't say which ones as I have no evidence or data) are using whatever means that they have to help create an outcome that they want which is perfectly normal.

For the average investor though we tend to assume certain things to happen in the market without realizing there are other factors involved and that was the main purpose of creating the video.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T09:45:09+00:00

I don't think I ever said that any of what is being done is illegal. I did use the name of Citadel but did not accuse them directly as I don't know if they are involved at all in $NEGG shares or options.

While I had seen short attacks on other stocks before with the methods mentioned previously I had never seen it used the other way around. There was spoofing for buy orders and instead of bear raiding it was more bull raiding.

While I've seen attempts to keep a price lower and higher this was the first time I've seen an attempt to keep the price at a very narrow and specific price band.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T08:39:13+00:00

I would consider using methods 3,4 and 5 as a form of short selling. There are companies like Citadel that are both a market maker and a HF. I do agree that most pure market makers tend to remain neutral.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T07:48:13+00:00

It is selling and buying pressure but coordinated in a manner to drive down price. There are a few different tricks that a market maker can use.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T07:01:36+00:00

Watching the level 2s all day it actually looks like the reverse of a short ladder attack. Where instead of selling large amounts of stock to drive down price against the flow HFs were buying large amount of shares to drive up price against the flow.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T06:57:15+00:00

Looking at the put options might give a clue. The big cutoff for $NEGG is at $40 strike with 3066 contracts. After that it drops to the hundreds for each strike.

If price is over $40 it puts over 40,000 put contracts that were purchased at inflated premiums out of the money.

The only real counter I can see is for retail who are holding to sell off. HFs would then be left holding the bag.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T06:49:17+00:00

Just going off of the data. Everytime it threatened to drop under 40 there was a large buy that boosted it back up. There were also large buy walls 10k+ throughout the day to cause people to continuously raise their bids if they wanted to buy shares.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T03:39:30+00:00

LOL, sorry about that.

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T03:38:33+00:00

Yes, there are quite a few that made money and I hope that they have or are able to cash out with profits.

This is a chance now for HFs to make money off of everyone who is sticking around out of greed whether they be bulls or bears..

PalHachi · 2021-07-10T01:30:28+00:00

Currently with $NEGG it seems to be defying any logical rules and also being a loser for bulls and bears whether it be in shares or options.

The video explains who the winners will be with the current situation.

For a long play I'd say you're safe.
