The last time I sat my rear end in a theater was when Jurassic Park rereleased in 3D around a decade ago. I'm not going back into a theater.

Wait- no, I saw Goonies at a drive in. There was a theater not far that was renting out for private showings, but we could never get out schedules sorted enough to getting working, and I think they are all closed in my area. I'd love to rent out a theater to watch Starship Troopers, since I never gor to see it in the theaters.

Mustang posted:I just invest my money in an index fund and call it a day, trying to get anything else out of the stock market is a fools errand. Something like 1% of investors can beat the stock market. That's a whole lot of effort when you could just mindlessly auto invest your money into an index fund and make more money in the long haul. (incoming post from someone who knows just enough to get by and not enough to be dangerous) A little more effort can net you a little better long term return. Instead of an index fund, diversify into several plus bonds. I've got funds tracking several large cap (S&P 500, NASDAQ, FTSE), small and mid cap, and a grab bag of bond funds which don't do terribly well most days but usually smooth out the bumps during downturns.. What this means is that during weeks like this one with huge plunges in major indices, I still lost but not as much as if I had pegged to just one. It's less about "beating the market" than smoothing out volatility.

shame on an IGA posted:Meanwhile, in some genuine next-level stupidity that no one could have anticipated because holy poo poo why would anyone ever do that, WSBers are bypassing the buy limitation by buying in the money february call options and exercising them Options are not intuitive to me. Why is this dumb? Or is it just the fact that other options are being used to (try to?) gently caress over shorts?

Lake of Methane posted:Options are not intuitive to me. Why is this dumb? Or is it just the fact that other options are being used to (try to?) gently caress over shorts? At best, they are cheating the hypothetical future owner out of some of the profits of their sales, but are also paying a fee to do so. Another outcome is that they do not exercise this option because the Gamestop stock is like 42.069 (nice) at that time, and buying a $42 stock for $350 or whatever is pretty stupid. Another outcome is that Gamestop stock is at $30 at that point, but they exercise the option and buy it for $350 for the memes and to send a message.

Lake of Methane posted:Options are not intuitive to me. Why is this dumb? Or is it just the fact that other options are being used to (try to?) gently caress over shorts? They're buying in the money call options for $320 (GME closed at $325 today) closing next Friday which comes with a $125 premium. So if they buy the option and exercise it immediately they convert the option into shares for $320 + $125. Everyone holding on for a short squeeze expects the stock price to shoot $1000+ so if you're hoping to see that happen you're still making money. The only catch is you gotta be really sure of that bet because options only come in sets of 100 so that's still $125,000 in premium and that's before you pay up for the $320,000 in shares.

UP THE BUM NO BABY posted:They are trying to engage with people and radicalize them. If you know that, you can tell people and warn them about Nazis trying to enter their spaces, and prevent people from having their feelings preyed upon by Nazis. The fash is unfortunately good at identifying when folks are in a vulnerable position and planting the seeds of hate. It's not immediately intuitive or even comprehensible for most of us looking wryly on from afar, but some of the folks participating in this genuinely believe that they're in the trenches and taking a noble stand against goliath. They disparage the doubters and the tourists and leave themselves uniquely susceptible to a nudge from anyone they view as an ally in their current struggle. And, unfortunately, the fash puts in active efforts to bring them into the fold, no matter how little, instead of rejecting all who don't already buy in. So, yeah, at the same time as we cheer for the hedge funds getting a kick in the pants, just stay vigilant for the sketchy characters working the crowd.

They’re buying deeper ITM options that cost much less premium (BEYOND THE PRICE-STRIKE) not ATM options, and 325x100 = 32,500 not 325,000

Ok I looked at the post and that's even more hilarious E: ahaha okay yeah, you pay for 100 shares at 295.55 of a stock at 295.27 and by the time you finish reading this sentence it's already at $298

Unless, of course, it's retroactive upon joining. In which case this'll be #4 since the American Fighting Man was Man of the Year in 1950.

I always thought of warrants as some kind of super enlisted, where they dream up new and dangerous ways to do things as part of their day job, but know all the shortcuts to fixing anything in their specialty. I don't know what to think of flight warrants, super enlisted with a definitive death wish?
