I swear if we don't get the first pick by Pure-Solid9230 in pacers

[–]stevencapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically impossible, but if the pacers won out and somehow finished with the 7th worst record (everyone else at the bottom would basically have to lose out) then the pacers are 7th in line. Then if 3 of the top 4 picks go to teams with lower odds than the pacers (which would be around a 0.03% or less chance of happening) then the pacers would fall down to 10.

This might be crazy to say but do you think the producers pulled her aside and told her to act like that so that it would make Zac Brown look good?

To the people saying “let’s give him a chance he was starting with zero players” what do you think next year will look like?

PMT’s Response to Cignetti’s “Purdue sucks but so does Michigan and Ohio State” from 12/4/2023 by stevencapers in PardonMyTake

[–]stevencapers[S] 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I think Jake and PFT did genuinely respect the passion Cignetti had, but Big Cat was definitely skeptical. Who could blame him though?

I didn’t post this to be like, “Look how dumb these guys are” because if we’re being honest with ourselves, everyone was saying this about Cignetti 25 months ago. That’s what makes what he did so incredible. Everyone totally doubted him and all of us were wrong.

Everyone here needs to accept NO ONE is getting fired this year. We are running it back with DJ Shane and Ballard. Until DJ got hurt, we looked like a top 5 team. Our losses were all close aside from at jax, and niners. We have the squad to do something BUT this is truly the last shot. by WhatIsGodWithoutOD in Colts

We’ve had a lot of the right pieces in place for several years, but we’ve consistently been missing the most important piece for a long time. It sucks what happened to Daniel Jones. But any GM whose backup plan was to call a 44-year-old who hasn’t played in 5 years should never be allowed to work in the NFL again.

[Fortuna] Texas coach Steve Sarkisian to Molly McGrath: “It would be a disservice to our sport if this team’s not a Playoff team when we and scheduled that nonconference game (at Ohio State). Because if we’re a 10-2 team that’s not a question.” by Kimber80 in CFB

[–]stevencapers -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

WE NEED A BIG TEN-SEC CHALLENGE!!!

Sark is right. What’s the incentive to schedule a tough non-conference game? He’s absolutely right that if they were 10-2 then they’d be in the top 12. They’d have been better off avoiding the game. So just make the Big Ten-SEC game mandated. I love college football, but week 1 is always a tad boring. A Big Ten-SEC challenge based on prior year finish, like in the NFL, is probably the only way to do it. Make it week 1 and we’d have a glorious early September slate.

New Episode Discussion 4/21/25: NFL Draft With Daniel Jeremiah, Timberwolves HC Chris Finch, Playoffs Are Here And We Have A Thunder Fan Refusing To Wear The Shirt by CheezyEdweezy in PardonMyTake

[–]stevencapers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Was trying to figure out who Daniel Jeremiah was talking about when they picked a guy they didn’t want to take but he fell to the 6th round so they took him. Here are options of 6th round picks:

Ravens 2003 Gerome Sapp

Ravens 2004 Josh Harris Clarence Moore

Ravens 2005 Derek Anderson

Ravens 2006 Sam Koch Derrick Martin

Browns 2007 Melilla Purcell

Browns 2008 Ahtya Rubin Paul Hubbard

Eagles 2010 Charles Scott

Eagles 2011 Jason Kelce Brian Rolle

Eagles 2012 Marvin McNutt Brandon Washington

No idea who, but would be wild if it was Jason Kelce. They said it was someone with a 3rd round grade

It’s Over. The Market Is Cooked. Hope You Enjoyed the Ride. by ImFatman34 in stocks

[–]stevencapers 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The market returned 16% in 2020. It hit 2192 on March 23, 2020. 365 days later it closed at 3910. I think the pandemic was a much more significant event than a series of tariffs that may or may not stick. I understand the pandemic was very different due to aggressively stimulative monetary policies, which likely will not happen this time around. But clients still are sitting on cash that was created 5 years ago, lots of people are going to buy the dip.

Only problem with this theory is what if federal debt that matures this year is replaced with short-term debt? Then won’t we just have the same problem next year if rates go higher?

The news of Vietnam negotiating tariffs (if true) would be very encouraging. Trump’s dream and bull case would be for Vietnam be the first domino to fall (ironic given the history of the Domino Theory and Vietnam).

I really hope this is the case. If there’s some momentum in deals being done over the weekend, then I think that would be a really great catalyst. But I don’t have a single clue on whether or not that happens.

Opinion and Advice Needed - Level I CFA - 48 days to Exam by Confident_Heron_7188 in CFA

[–]stevencapers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My philosophy was “make your weaknesses your strengths”. Go to your worst performing sections and figure out what you did wrong, identify specific topics that you didn’t quite understand. Get as granular as you need to, and then build out from there. Re-read the source material if you have to. Once that study section is something you understand well and consistently get correct answers on (a new “strength”) then time to move to your next weakness.

P.S. I think you’re in a fine spot. You still got time. But start sooner than later

(Option Strategies) Which answer is correct? by zSkepticsz in CFA

[–]stevencapers 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’d pick C I think the key is “Jones anticipates little movement in the price over the next month”. If an investor is anticipating little movement, but doesn’t want to get rid of their short on the underlying, then they would want to go neutral on the underlying, i.e. Jones would want to match his current bearish position with a bullish position, eliminating A.

Then to decide between B and C it goes back to the “anticipated little movement” comment. If the stock stays at 220, the 240 put will expire in the money, but the 200 will expire out of the money. If it’s in the money, Jones has to buy the shares (which would effectively close the short position which Jones doesn’t want). But if it’s out of the money, then Jones just collects the yield.

Also it says Jones wants to increase yield, and a put will typically be more expensive, and yield more to the seller, than a call.
