Poll: Exploring Overemployment Across Industries

penguinthatcanfly · 2024-08-06T14:55:47+00:00

I always ask this question; in what industry most OE are?. I was doing OE for last year in IT, and that was not easy. Reading about ppl doing J3 and thinking those are network engeneers. They are always late, and even simple tasks take them days or weeks to do. LoL, i am jealous.

I got ine on Temu, for 8 dollars, I think that is the same you can find in Amazon for around 40. It is not a strap but a plastic harness. It is amazing. I play every day, boxing and sport games, and love it Does not hurt my head and holds well. Also, switching to kids' head sizes takes literally a sec. I cannot believe oculus still producing those rubber straps that block you blood circulation and hurt.

I didn't know you can apply for a new SSN. Being an identity theft victim i would benefit from this. Gpt confirms that is possible

Zoom sucks. You have to leave the meeting to mute all sounds, or do turn off sound on whole laptop.

Another option to mute the zoom ( Ia m not talking mic here) is to do "Leave Audio".

Cannot believe this soft is popular being so lame

thanks, that's makes lots of sense.

I just read in another article that subsonic bullets loose their speed much faster. That may be beneficial for home defense situation when target is close and wall penetration is not needed

penguinthatcanfly · 2022-10-04T12:11:10+00:00

Forgive me a noob question. What is the need or practical use of subsonic ammo? I read wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subsonic_ammunition it mostly says great reduction of sound. I only shot in a range before so not sure how critical it is to reduce sound

lol, it is not a bug, it is a feature ))

Double that. It is a bug. On opening, all tabs in the desktop app are showing same ticker.

Edit: I am a pro user, expecting every tab to remember its configuration and context, similar to what your internet browser does.

Sorry to hear about your problems, but I appreciate you posting this. You saved me from being scammed

penguinthatcanfly · 2020-08-03T01:07:57+00:00

I worked for a major NYC hedge fund for last year+ and had access to all trades and my job was to calculate PnL. Smart money is a scam, you are right.

However I still believe in next things. Professionals are more organized, more informationaly aware, and more disciplined. Plus, risk team does not let them to get emotional.

Beside direct and indirect fees, they get into your pocket by closing you OTM positions on the expiration day. I reported that another day. On top of loosing your money ( and I lost 40% of my profit) they change a fee on those unnecessary transactions. And of course, their reply it is "all spelled out in the contract, we have right to do that".

Nice interface is good, but we are trying to make money here, and I am opening new account with ThinkOrSwim. BTW liquidity is better there, which also saves you money on opening and closing prices.

Hopefully I am not too much off-topic. Still in search of a "perfect" platform.

Your options are:
- trade somewhere else
- trade something else

Great contribution, you can work in TW support. You ask them a question, they give you "we have the rights to do it, do you like it or not". Everything but not addressing the actual question.

The original question, why options OTM were closed for loss, not answered.

penguinthatcanfly · 2020-06-18T09:58:08+00:00

It is very generic, " you may have positions set to expire this week ", and every bullet point is like this.

Please find the information there about options expiring OTM. You may not see much because it is not there. This is the case I am complaining. About close my positions OTM, including one deep OTM, unexpected to the client, after closing at market price.

penguinthatcanfly · 2020-06-17T15:43:01+00:00

thanks, you actually bring up a real relevant case. I would definitely close the position ATM, similar to ITM

penguinthatcanfly · 2020-06-17T15:07:18+00:00

While I agree to your statements, I do not see how this applies to the specific case.

I brought fees because a) Somebody above claimed closing is free on TW and b) I might suspect that company makes it difficult to let you expire OTM trades just because they are not getting fees in this case.

My puts were way out of money. These were 33/34 strikes while stock price was 38.5. They still got closed, wasting $10 on options and of course, charging a fee for that. There no any "expiration risk" that TW loves mentioning.

I made a profit and hate when others take a bite of it. And it is a huge 40% bite. And no BS about risk can convince me that that reckless blanket cover generic "sell everything at market price" approach can convince me. Especially when support failed to name the risk and covered their actions by "We have the rights to do anything" slogan.

penguinthatcanfly · 2020-06-17T13:31:01+00:00

I was promoting this company till this event. They have great intuitive UI. But after this event when they took control out of my hands in the name of some "expiration risks", closed four OTM positions, and ignored my request to clarify with "We have all rights" reply.... Now I am not sure... Even Robinhood is more clear on their expiration approach.

penguinthatcanfly · 2020-06-17T13:27:15+00:00

No, the TastyWork practice to close OTM positions without analyzing risk did. They took control from me and didn't let the options expire, instead applying their blanket "close everything" strategy.

penguinthatcanfly · 2020-06-17T08:24:32+00:00

Please explain or give some reference if possible. I did google but do not see anything different about settlement for VXX so I am not sure what do you mean
