I had a high school teacher who spent 20 or so years working in big finance before retiring to small town wealth management and teaching high school. His first job out of college was working at the Merc in Chicago. Which he did for 10+ years starting in the late 70s before taking a different job on Wall Street.Why I will never trade commodities.

I was young and stupid but I always liked his analogies. Paraphrasing but he was like "throwing some money at stocks is one thing. Suppose you're playing with fire and gasoline if you're playing stocks. But if you're playing commodities you may as well douse yourself in that gasoline then start lighting matches for giggles. That's the difference in risk you're really talking about."

That’s insane for a major broker. Going to be interesting to see what comes out of it. I wonder if there’s any precedent for this. For example if a broker fucks up and liquidates your stocks to cover a margin call in error, are they responsible for paying back lost money when that stock increases, etc.

PLTR. A bit more detail on the revenue side. The sell was expected I think for all the people looking to buy the tumor and sell the news. Estimating over 1.5b in revenue with 23% margins. The challenge for them now is one of revenue growth. They need to line up non-govt customers. As a long term investor I am good with the numbers. They need to get into positive earnings hopefully next quarter. It wont surprise me if this is green by the close today. This thing has a lot of institutional investors so premarket retail movement may not be indicative of the rest of the day.

Use the Delta?Blazin is there a way to predict the option bid/ask open on a stock's pre-market price? For example, what the $30 strike might look like at the open with it down 8-10%?

Government agencies are constrained in some ways private companies are not. Many agencies have already made a habit of buying personal data from private companies rather than trying to obtain that data via their own investigative tools: A surprising number of government agencies buy cellphone location data. Lawmakers want to know why.
I'm guessing these same government agencies will be Palantir's biggest customers.

Yeah I looked at that. My thought is that the Delta shifts as it gets closer to the money so going form 10% out of the money to in the money will sharply adjust the delta during the move so it wont be that accurate.
Delta is -51 cents so a 2$ drop on the underlying should make this strike sell for $2.80. Lets see if it does.
