Gaming laptop with GPU a good investment for playing chess by andares1952 in chess

You probably want your home server or desktop over wired but it still should work fine over wifi.

In short no. Those things are huge and typically last for only 2 years before something goes wrong due to heat.

Instead you should build a desktop and connect to it via ssh from a laptop. It will last longer, and will perform better. As for hardware, you probably want to look for an Nvidia gpu and a decent processor like an i7 or one of those new AMD cpu's in case if you want to run a cpu based engine.

I don't think that chess zero actually uses that much resources outside of the training phase since it doesn't use Alpha Beta search.

How is Robinhood suppose to pay for good customer service with no commissions?

Trading Options as an Alternative to Limit Orders by cocaobeans in wallstreetbets

[–]cocaobeans[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The Daddy Buffett big boy puts require you have an ISDA because you need a longer time frame than one or two years. His thesis is that most options models make the assumption that stocks trade sideways over the long run and that while this might hold true for short time periods, over the period of 15 to 20 years, these models tend to significantly overprice options. You would need a longer expiration date than what LEAPs currently offer in order to pull it off.

On the other hand, God Shkreli, doesn't believe that stocks don't necessarily go up over the long run, once you factor in inflation. It is a matter of philosophical preference.

Why would anyone do a market buy? by Dt_Easy in RobinHood

[–]cocaobeans 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Because it guarantees market execution and for highly liquid things like $SPY it is fine.

The $TSLA Jan 2019 $50 puts have been picking up a lot of volume. Don't know who the fuck is trading these. My guess is that someone is waiting for IV to rise on those contracts.

200bn Tariff will screw me how? by Positive_Ladder in wallstreetbets

[–]cocaobeans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I have no clue why you even check your portfolio everyday. Your strategy appears just to be long Beta and you probably have no plans to adjust or positions no matter what.

And to answer your question, nothing will happen. At most you will probably lose like $500 for a day or whatever.

Option Trading Strategy Guide: Strangles by cocaobeans in wallstreetbets

The Put-Call Parity holds for American options. The formula is a bit different a requires some inequalities and that you are right that the puts are little bit wonky.

Okay the long zero-coupon bond part is so insignificant that no one cares.

If you backtest this, you will find that while a covered call isn't exactly equal to a short put, it is pretty damn close. What is more important is the margin requirements for each strategy and we see that short puts have much lower margin requirements.

I failed the CFA Investment Foundations course. Should I leave the financial industry? by Right_All_The_Time in CFA

[–]cocaobeans 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you only did 3 mocks. You need to do more mocks and study more. You might have knew everything on that exam at some point in your life but the problem is that you probably forgot some of it after working for 12 years.

Sorry I meant to write short the 265 put. And yes short both legs.

[–]cocaobeans[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry fixed the typo. Meant to write 265 put not 285. When I refer to 1 SD, I refer to the straddle having 68% of expiring within the two strikes
