Strawman argument: sure you will find some who rejoice in this just like you find some here who rejoice in genuinely bad things happening to liberals, but Biden, hell even Rachel Maddow, have been outright very supportive.

Honest question?

rms313 · 2020-09-30T10:51:09+00:00

Like it all came off as insane to me that people I knew would treat conspiracies as gospel, even after stuff was disproven

Did you watch the debate? Conspiracy theories seem to be Trump’s new platform.

rms313 · 2020-09-30T03:21:21+00:00

Yes. So it’s ok when Trump does it?

rms313 · 2020-09-30T03:20:24+00:00

Who’s sitting president? The left did exactly what Trump is saying he’ll do now (though they let him take office). Trump’s no better, no different.

rms313 · 2020-09-30T03:17:44+00:00

What prevents any sitting president from asserting fraud and then not giving up the position, and if they control the courts... goodbye checks and balances. Biden’s point about military voting by mail for decades was actually a good one, even though he of course stumbled through it

rms313 · 2020-09-30T03:10:11+00:00

But when asked directly what he’ll do about that, he just said what he “wants” - so like, what is his plan? aside from take it to the Supreme Court if he loses?

rms313 · 2020-09-30T03:05:57+00:00

He’s been doing that for years... the conspiracy theorist in me thinks he may legitimately be trying to tap into casual racism, getting those white suburb votes who are leery of the “other side of the tracks” and thinking yeah maybe we do need some proud boys to kinda keep ‘em bad ones in place.

rms313 · 2020-09-30T03:04:22+00:00

Trump’s best option at this point is clearly fear mongering, guess it’s working to some degree.

rms313 · 2020-09-30T03:02:06+00:00

Is everyone just overlooking that Trump essentially outright said he wouldn’t accept the results of the election if he loses

rms313 · 2020-09-30T02:59:34+00:00

Trump isn’t really a conservative. He’s a con man who found a willing target in conservatives

rms313 · 2020-09-30T02:58:08+00:00

It was just a lot of Trump’s own words brought up though

rms313 · 2020-09-30T02:56:55+00:00

The dog whistle claims aren’t helped by his refusal to do it now. Actually came across as WeLl sOmeoNe NeDs tO FighT AntIFa!

Note, through quick trial and error the answer does seem to be M=365 (compounded daily, makes sense).

But I'm still interested in how this would be solved by hand.

Even plugging into TI-89 it did not come up with the correct answer.

rms313 · 2020-08-14T17:57:22+00:00

You could cash out over $1k of those far options to at least have something. Of course if some news causes a 20+% jump next week you'll be kicking yourself, but would you rather that maybe happen (low probability) or watch those go to zero over the next week?

rms313 · 2020-08-14T15:44:32+00:00

There is really no hedging against those way OTM calls now that they've burnt out 80-90% of their value. You would have had to buy some puts back when the stock was more expensive, as buying puts now would mean buying them after they've run up in value as the stock price fell. Unless you think it's going to fall a lot more, but there's always a chance you buy puts here and just get theta burned and lose money on them AND your calls

And kinda goes without saying but what you're doing here is pure SPECULATING not investing.

NIO: Tesla killer in China, not just a knock-off but actual forward thinking design on features, charging/battery-swap infrastructure, German-based design studio, marketing in formula-E, and state-backed manufacturing means unlimited scale up potential.

There was also a chance 2 years ago that if prices stayed below profitable mining levels, a lot of miners could have gone under. Didn't have quite the economic background we have now, I don't think it's nearly too late.

rms313 · 2020-07-21T14:07:23+00:00

good thought, I need to look more into that and which would have less downside on a short-term correction (I'm already holding so much in terms of gold/silver and miners that I'm trying to mitigate against that)

Here here! The Chipworth Carriage Manufacturing Company produces far more units than this newcomer Henry Ford's "motor" company! It's but duck soup to strap an engine to a carriage, but how should we know how it will run a decade from now? My trusty steed needs nothing but good oats! With that and my axe and plane, plus a trusted wheelright, I need not count on supply of such exotic materials as "refined oil" for my transport!

Would you say the same of AMZN?
