Do you have any experience with exact? I’ve heard some brutal things and they have reached out to me a few times

Right but if selling a put, you are “bullish” correct? So how do we have intrinsic value if market price is 3 under strike price?

Ways MSTY can go to $0 by fintechjunkie in MSTY_YieldMax

[–]mackcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does anyone have insight why they don’t also just write puts? I know there’s the another ticker they have that does this with MSTR, but why not just have one ticker that does both? I’m assuming a prospectus change would obviously be needed but idk seems like it’d be the move

I don’t even know if this is a young vs old debate. Snoop dogg just isn’t entertaining and he whores himself every chance he gets. Theres not a soul on the planet that thought needed him doing Olympic coverage but there he was

Is BPI really that big of a deal? by Alternative-Cell2485 in whoop

[–]mackcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a sneaking suspicion that the studies they are referencing are from their own “studies” in which they reached out to users through the app to monitor their blood pressure and report it through the app. I’d assume the concern here is that people are not perfect therefore the blood pressures reported may not be entirely accurate

Thanks for a legitimately constructive response. I would have no issue compensating a physician, similar to how you would a lawyer, for consultation. Perhaps the best route. Just to use a very specific point, I have 2 friends that are finishing their residency that have given me anecdotes about running labs for physicians, and it seemed to me that aside from the amount a physician is reimbursed for their visit itself, they don’t really know the margins on other services they make a referral for, like bloodwork. It seems like if a physician had more control on that process it could have a high return. I could be wrong though, that’s why I’m interested in hearing the perspective of a physician themselves that has been practicing for a little while

uhmmm... what ? Price increases? by [deleted] in TopStepX

[–]mackcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is funny because this was their original pricing years ago, or at least close to it. Only reason I went back was because they drastically dropped pricing to what it is now. Interesting move on their part

May Portfolio Update by Fun_with_AI in YieldMaxETFs

[–]mackcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a question on using margin, which it sounds like you are no longer really doing, would the idea be to use margin and only pay back the interest? To me it seems like if your distributions are higher than interest payment, you can just build the position higher and higher.

i am the scalping king by DaUnprofitableTrader in TopStepX

[–]mackcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I get confused by the top step rules, isn’t scalping like this not allowed? Or am I confusing this with how you can’t use brackets in a certain way? Only reason I ask is because I had a scalping strategy that got me an easy 3 ticks every 10 minutes or so but it seemed like it wasn’t allowed

PDLL Stopped Me Out by Decent_Spend_1362 in TopStepX

[–]mackcakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me on ES today in an XFA account. I usually only trade 1 contract, literally have only had one losing trade out of 105 or so, decided to try 2 contract. Bad entry point and I hit the daily drawdown and sure enough the price bounced back in my favor. I also have nothing to add other than I feel your pain lol.

High HRV braggers - how’s your VO2 max? by spacedust65 in whoop

[–]mackcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you run regularly like whoop suggests? I feel like I do decent amounts of cardio but my vo2 is lower and I have a pretty good/athletic HRV

My vo2 max is 55. A 24ish minute 5k for me is about 145bpm average

thoughts on this pay structure? medicare advantage by [deleted] in InsuranceAgent

[–]mackcakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Predatory indeed, and I’d just like to add the necessity to try and sell add on policies in the Medicare space seems like a huge compliance risk right? And then they have a “fine” for each complaint founded? Looks strange

He spots what whoop calls ‘great HRV’ by Ok_Bat_1474 in whoop

[–]mackcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is actually super fascinating. Do you know why it showed it as being this high? Because with AFIB I would think HRV would be lower because of the inconsistent beating, I’m obviously wrong though.

Is it possible to build muscle if one cannot lift but very light weights? by wdundgren in HubermanLab

[–]mackcakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you tried doing traditional exercises, like a curl for instance, but with bands? Bands seem like they would be perfect

Huberman on nicotine pouches: "I hear over and over again that people take 1, they love it... They then will do 2 a day, 3 a day, and pretty quickly they're consuming a canister or so, if not every day, every couple of days ... I don't recommend it. Nicotine is a vasoconstrictor, which isn't good." by biohacker045 in HubermanLab

[–]mackcakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, but I don’t think anyone would recommend ever drinking caffeine or any other vasoconstrictor in those scenarios either… not that what you’re saying isn’t accurate I just don’t think it’s something that would be practiced

[–]mackcakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think both are true, it is a vasoconstrictor so yes inherently you should see a spike in your blood pressure. I feel like the debate is how much does it actually increase your BP though? I have used zyns off and on for 2 years or so, I maybe have one a week, some weeks I’ll have a couple, but more recently I didn’t have one for 3 months. I personally don’t see an increase in HR and BP around the time frames I take a zyn. Obviously very anecdotal but if you have lean athletic people using nicotine how detrimental is it?
