But there's no way for him to turn that into actual money without tanking the stock again, right?

I mean, they could probably get most of his original 50K out with it dropping too much, but much more than that would probably cause a run, wouldn't it?

No, he can absolutely cash that out at any point. There's so much volume in it that I don't think that would tank it much.

My county seems to have no vaccines still :/

Yeah I desperately want to get my mom one and I don't know how to game the system even though she's...well let's just say well over 65.

swickles posted:

The other thing to do is go like 15 minutes before closing to sites like the county Health Department. If there are no-shows or they have extra allotted for whatever reason, they will want to use them up. There are almost always 2-4 doses left at most places.

This seems like the best idea but good luck to me trying to explain that sufficiently for her unfortunately. And I could/should take her just in case but she is going to fight me like hell unless it's a sure thing because she doesn't want to be a bother.

My parents can't get the vaccine because they're in one of a handful of counties in VA that haven't opened it up to 65 plus. My Dad is a 72 year old diabetic. On the other hand my wife has gotten her first vaccine shot because she works as a speech pathologists in people's homes. They've been teleworking via Zoom the whole pandemic and will continue doing so through the year so she never leaves the house.

This country sucks.

Gonna guess that the county is extremely right wing, the Democratic challenger received little-to-no money, and the main reason why this wasn't brought up during oppo research is because it would have made her more favorable.

Oh I remember that story. Is this the guy who just wanted to run because he felt he needed to do something? Like just a decent guy who had normalish opinions and then the DNC advisors told him to run a scorched earth type ad that made the death threats and harassment happen and his life got ruined?

Yes, he ended up divorced and out of the state so he had to drop out cause he wasn't a resident

You want to write a long out-of-the money call, right? Or, are you saying you want to actually make a bet that the stock is going to go up more, but rather than just buy the stock, you want leverage and the possibility of a total loss if the stock goes down??

Because if it's the latter, whoo boy, more power to ya but that's a heckum of a gamble IMO

Yeah I called my mother to pick her brain on what's going on and after explaining what /r/wallstreetbets was she said she was going to call one of her friends in the market monitoring division (there's a group that actively monitors any unusual stock activity that triggers a freeze on a stock, which has happened tons with GME since friday). So if anyone gets their heads torn off by old, angry chinese ladies that don't understand technology, sorry.

It used to be on CW Seed in the US, which is free (with ads).

Also I did not enjoy Pushing Daisies very much on re-visit. I liked it when it aired, but coming back to it 10 years later, watching it felt like chugging corn syrup.
