Well, I'm playing (paper) with vertical spreads for now. And I'm trying to understand the margin required for real trading. Screenshots from ThinkOrSwim: Here I'm ordering a vertical spread on Amazon. As the Order Confirmation dialog shows, I could have a max loss of $345. Let's assume...

Any experience with bull put spreads? They seem to be pretty newbie friendly with controllable risk.

Wish we had some more shots from space. I'm not familiar with the source material at all, although I did watch the original movie many years ago. How does the spice allow for interstellar travel? It looks like they are using wormholes? Does spice allow for the tech to keep it open or something?

edit: nevermind misread.

Well, you can't take on the sell side unless you have the collateral to buy the underlying security, right? Unless you're doing those fancy spreads?

Yeah, I understand Delta and Theta decay. Well, "understand" at a basic level. So I'm left wondering what are the odds of success just going with the 'hot' stock for the day and just trade the call options.

So just fucking around in paper-trading, earlier this morning I bought a TSLA 900 strike price call option and turned around and sold it a few hours later for $135 profit. Just do that over and over???

I learned the hard way it's best to just hold. Every time I tried to time the market it went the opposite direction. Every. Single. Time. Also, I don't think the Fed will allow the market to crash.

Oh, I am. I'm not living trading anytime soon. I've been watching various videos on option strategies for beginners to figure out which fits best for me.

Thanks! Saved me 85 grand.

I read the opening post and then scanned the following 5 pages. I didn't see a follow-up post about SELLING calls and puts. So my newbie question, and I'm sure it's probably been answered somewhere in between: How retarded of a strategy is it to sell a call that's way OTM for a stock that...

Yeah the rate of change is "transitory". Doesn't mean prices will go back down.

It was an Amiga VideoToaster, you heathen.

Well, my thought is that it's a gamble. I wouldn't care gambling, say, 600 bucks in a call option if there's a possibility it could generate a crazy return. The gold and silver markets have been dogged for quite some time now and there has to be a rebound at some point. That's why I'm...

New to options here and have yet to buy any. Looking for opinions... so, general consensus it seems is that gold and silver may see a spike sometime in the next year or two. Would it be such a bad idea to buy a call option on some gold and silver mining ETFs with an expiration date sometime...

Yeah I saw CEI during one of my stock scans. I've been paper money trading to practice chart readings and setups. How do you protect yourself if that crap happens during off hours? Sorry for my ignorance, but stop limits don't activate until normal trading hours, right?

This is a great video explaining the supply chain problems:

Yeah I'm confused. Gaal would be in the past, right?

So we're going to default?

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE. Tis the season for horror. Now that October is upon us, I will begin the viewing of favorite horror flicks in anticipation of Halloween. Some of my annual favorites include (in no particular order): https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0081505/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk...

Does Zombieverse come into play somehow? How did that comic series end? Because IIRC zombie Reed Richards was universe hopping.

Any video can be convincingly faked at this point, so I don't put any weight on that stuff.

What's hilarious is that these POC actors are cast in ridiculous roles. Like that Bridgerton. I can't imagine that appealing to a black audience. Even Wakanda itself is complete fantasy. In no version of Earth would there ever be an advanced civilization evolving out of Africa.

I'm not finding Gaal very likable. And "counting primes' doesn't convince me she's some sort of mathematical genius. That said I enjoyed the first couple of eps.

I think I had the same problem when I cranked up all the graphic settings. I have a 1660 Ti with 6GB of ram running at 1440p. I think I was overshooting the card's ram. Try tuning the visual settings.

Does the game's resolution setting match your monitor?

Created "Jake Shakesworth" on Vingolf.

Well, joke's on them. Black people don't watch stuff like this.

Weren't they fined for something?

I have an old ass JBOD configuration with three 2TB drives. I'm thinking about replacing them with a single 8TB drive. The system it'll go in is a simple PLEX media server for 720p/1080p content. Does anyone see a problem with me getting one of those "surveillance" hard drives? They seem to...

Wow that escalated quickly.

Anything with "Wakanda Forever!" can fuck right off.

There's no real gear grind, at least not one that's an endless +stat treadmill. If you still have a WoW gear mentality then you may not like Guild Wars.

A one-and-done horror series on Netflix. I give it three and a half thumbs up!
