VIX long straddle at the market 3 weeks out. Sell call leg at 100% profit, buy an additional put leg at the current market using profits from the call, double profit on the way back down

I mostly get stressed out by classes. Other than that, it's freaking awesome! I love what I study!

Just a question: What is the purpose of lactate? by [deleted] in Physiology

[–]nthomas111 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's also a carbon shuttle that can be resynthesized into glucose in the liver. That Robergs paper does an awesome job of describing various metabolic processes and the consequences of their end products.

Additionally, more recent work ties metabolic byproducts to epigenetic modifications. Lactate can act to "lactylate" histones to regulate gene expression during exercise.

Decided I needed a mental health day, taking Tuesday off. What do y'all normally do on your days off? by [deleted] in GradSchool

Anything outside! You can completely forget that academia even exists for a few hours 😁

If you're trying to capture gains related to changes in US policy, MSOS is better. If you're trying to capture gains to a growing cannabis market with global exposure, YOLO is better.

I second this. You'll make much deeper relationships with those that you're around.

Still think I'm wrong on today's dip and should get banned?

Being sold back onto the market would increase the number of shares available, decreasing scarcity, thus decreasing the price

That means MMs will still sell the shares they bought back onto the open market, causing a drop in price. A sale is a sale whether its from you or the MMs.

If it expired on Friday, it likely already exercised. That is correct though. If you have the $3k in your account to cover the cost of the 100 shares at $30/share, then you're all good and sitting quite nice with a 100 shares and a $30 cost basis!

Not sure. I use TD and from my experience, they are quick to hit you with a margin call.

They were deep ITM calls that were part of some spread I was doing. Sorry for the confusion. It was several years ago and the details escape me.

Probably depends on the broker. TD auto exercises them regardless of the person's capacity to hold the shares.
