TLSA 830 in pre-market. I wouldn't buy puts at open yet, but my shallow plan atm is to buy some if it breaks 800 or if the irrational exuberance doesn't show up again by the end of the week.

$800 and $900 puts have quadrupled from yesterday afternoon's peak. But the wild swing could just as easily have gone the other way, so... edit: down further! LLCoolJD fucked around with this message at 16:11 on Feb 5, 2020 |

Well its like shorting anything in this market, particularly with options. Once you get that volatility spike in your favor, you have to start cashing out immediately, regardless of where you think fair value is. PTON march calls implying ~12%ish move for breakeven. Gift. Let's gamble on this POS boys.

Fhqwhgads posted:Companies will always hire external to do this because management is allergic to responsibility and they need an easy scapegoat. To compound this, capitalists always pay workers less than they produce to generate a margin that they can use to pay workers less. As a person who has done consulting, often management knows exactly what to do (and have the plan laid out before we talk to them) to make more money. They just doesn't want to suggest it, and the consulting firms will gleefully take their money to be the bad guy.

Hey, want some free money? Michael Bloomberg on predictit to win the election is only $0.87 on the dollar when it should be $0.99. A free 15% money increase on whatever you put in because he will absolutely never ever win.

Josh Lyman posted:You can open up from yesterday’s close with bad price action that presages selling. Also after hours yesterday, I thought about buying 3M, Roche, and Abbvie in case coronvirus gets worse. I didn't get around to it until after closing my TSLA position and of course all 3 were up about 2.5% by that point.

java posted:What position are you thinking about? Not sure which you are referring to, but the first part was about taking profits on TSLA shorts. for PTON I don't really care about strike price, i plan on selling tomorrow regardless of outcome. While I'm at it, full disclosures before someone loses money on this trade: 1) I think longer term (maybe by Holidays 2020) the stock is a short 2) In my view, the biggest risk going long is that they may announce an early secondary tonight to jump ahead of the lockup expiration 3) That said, I think at worse you have a coinflip situation tonight. I think the bankers did a good enough job keeping near term estimates conservatives fougera fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Feb 5, 2020 |

In TSLA 300 PUTS expiring 2/21. Based on yesterday's track record, I fully expect a 100 point rally in the last 10 minutes of trading.

So long as there are racists in the south who daydream about hauling around the blacks in the bed of their truck like a modern day middle passage, there will be a market for the F150.

There's a guy who parks his F150 in the alley behind my office every day and revs his engine while he waits for someone to come out at lunch and at the end of the day. This has been going on for months.

Coincidentally it is almost exactly -30C right now yeah! That's not it though, he does it no matter the temperature. edit: Could be diesel, but by the time you've driven somewhere it's usually fine. You don't drive your truck cold somewhere and then warm it up. edit2: There's another guy who used to visit the house kitty corner to mine until the wee hours of the morning and then idle his diesel for 30-45 mins before he left. That was annoying too because it would keep me up at like 2am, but was just him warming his truck up and probably staying to chat longer than he intended and not like purposefully revving. Anyway, this is all off topic. Er, how about that Tesla. odiv fucked around with this message at 20:34 on Feb 5, 2020 |
